The next day...

Outside the principal's office at Hexside, we see a handful of students gathered by the door.

Let me explain; you see, Ace has more fans his age than you'd expect. Viney, Jerbo, and Barcus may or may not have told everyone that the Ace of Spades was coming to their school. You'd be surprised how many fans Ace has that are around his age.

They're all here to see if the rumors were true.

When the doors opened, everyone gasped. It really was Ace. His outfit minus his jacket was covered in soot, abomination goo, some dust and a small amount of rubble, one leaf, and there was a small flame in his hair.

"So, how'd it go?" Luz said, next to Gus and Willow.

"You tell me." He did a quick short tornado spin, which cleaned him up and put out the flame, and showed his new Hexside uniform. Like Luz's uniform, there was more than one color on the arm and leg sleeves.

The students were starting to whisper to each other and grin with excitement. Some of the girls even started fanning themselves.

"Look out, Hexside. This school has a new student," he flipped over some of the students and continued down the hall as his spade glowed, "and his name is Ace Adri!"

Bump then came out of the principal's office. Seeing all the students outside, he ordered them to head to class and they all scrambled to leave.

"How'd Ace do?" Luz asked, being the only student left in the hall.

"His demonstrations were...unexpected, but he is an astonishing boy. The fire, his pet, the weapon, those Adri-mentals of his, I've never seen anything like those before."

"Well that's nice to he- Wait, 'Adri-mentals'?! *runs off* Ace!"

Hearing his name, he turned to see Luz approach him. "What's up, Superstar?"

"*grabs his shoulders and shakes him a bit* What are Adri-mentals?!"

"I didn't tell you about those?"

"NO!"

"Oh, right." He removed her hands. "It's a family thing. As people in our family get stronger and learn new ways to use their magic, we also naturally at some point earn new forms that we can turn into and make. I can show you two of them if you want-"

Luz already had her phone out and hit the record button. "Go on."

Ace shrugged his shoulders, and went at it. Red got off his back and got into wolf form and went next to Luz.

Like that, his spade glowed before his whole body glowed.

When the light was gone, all of Ace minus his glasses was entirely made of abomination goo, with some plants all over him. There was also a bit of ivy growing on his glasses.

"I call this one Abom-carnAcetion."

He stretched and reshaped himself in a bunch of ways in this form.

His spade glowed again, and he glowed again.

His body was now the same except for a few details. His skin was now icy blue, and some of his skin had lava flow trails on it. One of his eyes was fiery red, and the other was icy blue. Same with his glasses legs; one has a small flame going along the top, and the other has icicles going along the bottom. Even some of his hair was aflame.

"And this one's Ice-cinerAce."

He started floating then he opened his palms and they both had balls of fire and ice swirling around in them.

He lowered to the ground before his spade glowed before he went back to normal.

"You think that's something? Check this out."

His spade glowed again and two streams of light came out of it and each hit the floor on both sides of Ace. From the light came the forms that Ace just introduced. The only difference was that that their eyes were replaced with light.

"(in awe)Woah..."

"Nice to meet ya!" Ice-cinerAce said. Abom-carnAcetion just waved. He doesn't speak on his own.

As Ice-cinerAce flew around Luz, she said to Ace, "Please tell me there's more about you that I should know about."

"There this, and I would tell you now but,"

*screams and ringing sounds*

"I gotta get ready and enjoy my first day." "See you at lunch?" "You bet."

Ace's Adri-mentals became streams of light and went back into Ace's spade, and the two separated to head to their classes.

As Ace walked down the hallway, he noticed people looking at him.

"This is gonna be a great day."

Cue school montage!

We start off in the Abomination class.

Everyone was at a cauldron full of abomination sludge.

Ace looked in his, and when he dipped his hand in, and some goo oozed from it as he pulled it out, his spade glowed with excitement.

As a certain mint haired student with brown at the roots was working, her attention was caught by something going past her eyes. It was a small Ace made from abomination goo, swinging past her with stretchy arms. She followed it and turned around, along with everyone else, to see it parkour past and through a bunch of small obstacles. Why? To get away from a regular sized abomination chasing him and trying to smash him.

When the mini Ace was out of stuff to jump to, and was cornered, he held up one finger telling the abomination to wait a minute. He took out his scroll and held hit to take a selfie, as the regular Ace made a much bigger abomination Ace, using the goo from the others' cauldrons, and flattened the abomination as the mini Ace took a picture.

The teacher was amazed and stunned. You can tell Ace passed this class.

In Construction class, which was outside today, everyone was making things from the rock risen from the ground.

One student felt a breeze and turned to see where it came from and saw Ace in a tornado, and said tornado was in the middle of six big pillars of stone that were rising from the ground. When he rose them high enough, Ace spun in the tornado some more, making it stronger and bigger and engulf the pillars. It even started pulling stuff in that were in the area.

When the tornado dispelled, what was now visible was a huge play area that was made from the stuff pulled in from the tornado all over the six pillars. Ace slid down a pole that was in the middle of the play area.

Ace walked up to the class and moved to the side, and everyone ran excitedly to the pillars and climbed up the ropes, ladders, bars, and rings that led up to all of the play equipment.

The teacher was very pleased. Ace passed this class too.

Now for the Bard class.

Ace was at his desk, sitting on it, with an electric guitar in his hands. It was black with red strings and it's headstock was in the shape of a spade.

Everyone couldn't focus and complete forgot about their own instruments and focused only on Ace playing a guitar riff. The music made the chalk on the board move quickly and draw a picture of Ace on the board with drumsticks in his hands, then a drum set around him. The drawing then moved on its own, spinning the drumsticks in his hands, before playing the drums to the guitar music.

This two Ace band was getting the class dancing, and made sparks fly around the place.

At the end, the magic from the music made fireworks go off around Ace, and made everyone applaud as the Ace drawing faded away.

Ace aced this class as well.

End montage!

In the school cafeteria, the kids were talking up a storm.

Everyone had Ace fever and couldn't stop talking about him.

Said Adri, appeared through the doors and the whole room went silent before some students came over asking for pictures and autographs.

"Okay, okay, one at a time!" he said with a kind smile.

"Wow, it's Ace's first day and he's already a celebrity." Willow said, sitting across from Luz.

Gus then came over saying, "I got a selfie with Ace!" He showed them his scroll that showed Ace and Gus posing.

"I just hope nothing too bad will go wrong." Luz said.

Back with Ace, he just signed a girl's forehead then took a selfie with another girl.

The two squealed after that.

Their names in that order were-

"Skara! Amelia! *comes over* There you two are."

The one who called their names and came over was a three-eyed girl named Boscha.

"Who's four-eyes over here?"

The two gasped. Matter of fact, everyone who was in the area gasped. Amelia was the first to speak up.

She pulled Boscha aside before saying with Skara following, "(whisper tone) You seriously don't know who that is?! That is the Ace Adri!" "(whisper tone)Yeah, he's one of the strongest, rebellious, undefeated witch teens ever! He posts almost everything he does on Penstegram! How do you not know who the Ace of Spades is?!"

Boscha looked confused. She looked back at the boy in question who was talking to a boy.

"Is it true that you won fights just by kicking open doors?"

"Yep. Watch this."

He made a portal next to him that led to a double door on the other side.

"You might want to record this."

The boy did that as Ace turned to the door, raised his foot, then with a grin, kicked the doors, knocking them off the hinges and into pieces that scattered into the room which was full of ruffians and thugs. Each and every door piece hit a thug hard and fast. So hard and fast, that they got knocked out the second they got hit! The whole room was full of unconscious goons.

"That you'd have to see to believe." he said, turning around to see everyone's stunned faces.

A second later, everyone started cheering. Well, almost everyone.

Boscha looked at her friends with a glare and it made them shut up.

It was the last class of the day and Ace had the Potions class.

Everyone was at a cauldron and had to make a different potion

At Ace's cauldron, he shook in a shaker labeled 'Dried bat wings', then pulled out a paper airplane and ripped it to shreds and the pieces fell in, then pulled out a jar with raven feathers inside, put some in, then stirred the cauldron. There was a green puff of smoke, and the liquid inside turned light green.

Ace brought the ladle to his mouth and tasted it, and everyone who was looking saw that Ace was starting to rise in the air.

After tasting it, Ace said, "I got the potion right, but I feel like the taste needs something. All the same,"

He started flying around the classroom, wowing everyone as he did a few air tricks.

"it works." he said, coming to the floor to land.

Everyone applauded for the one of a kind witch. All but Boscha. She was the one who was at the top of this class, now some witch she just heard of was getting praise.

I spy jealousy in those three eyes.

The end of school, at the school entrance...

We see Boscha again, coming out of the school with an annoyed expression.

The whole day was full of 'Ace this', 'Ace that', 'Ace Ace Ace Ace Ace'! It was really annoying to her. Luckily it was the end of the school day and she didn't have to worry about Ace for the rest of the day.

That was until she saw a big crowd of students and teachers cheering for, you guessed it Ace.

"Okay! One more trick! I need a volunteer this time! I'm doing something different!"

Several people raised their arms.

"How about...*points*You! Amity, right? Get over here!"

Amity gestured a decline with a smile, but her older twins, Edric and Emira, gave her a shove and made her stumble towards Ace. She glared at them and they both said, "You're welcome."

"I got a good vibe from those two. (to Amity) Anyway, ready?" "I guess?" "Okay, this might be terrifying at first, but you'll get the hang of it. Brace yourself."

Ace did a tornado spin and as he rose up he grabbed Amity's hand, pulling her upwards with him. When they were high enough, he grabbed her other hand, and spun her around with him, making the tornado bigger and stronger. It started pulling in some of the leaves from the trees around.

"Get ready! When I let go, Red'll pick you up! On three!" "What?!" "Three! *lets go*" "AAHH!"

Ace does stuff like that in case people change their minds.

He let Amity go and as she did a loop around the whole tornado, and before she did a second one, Red got off Ace's back, became a staff, and flew in and picked up Amity. Red was flying Amity outside of the tornado. A leaf got in her hair, but she was alright.

Now that they were riding outside the tornado, Ace could do the thing.

He drank a multi-colored potion, and afterwards, he set the tornado ablaze. Red had to move Amity a bit so she wouldn't get burned. The burning leaves started flying out of the tornado and made cone shapes and flew straight skyward. Right after, Ace made the tornado go away.

Right after the flaming tornado went away, Ace did a pose as the burning leaf cones made different colored fireworks in the sky making everyone on the ground ooh and ah.

One firework even said 'Hexside Rocks!'

Ace then did a somersault and landed standing up on his incoming staff as it came flying by.

When they flew by everyone by the ground they all cheered. Ace even hung upside-down and high fived Luz.

He then sat rightside-up and said to Amity who was in front of him and was silent, "You okay?"

"Am I okay? I was lifted up hundreds of feet in the air, swung around in a tornado, then almost got scorched!...And somehow I am not mad! Honestly, that was, that was...!"

"Ehhh?"

"Exciting!"

"There you go."

They came down to land, and when they did, Red turned from staff to wolf to jacket on Ace's back, and said boy waved to the crowd as they kept cheering for him.

However in the back, I think I see a green-eyed triclops.

Boscha was looking at Ace and there was a lot of jealousy and anger on her face. You know how hard Boscha had to work to get her reputation? Now some 'amazing' warlock came out of nowhere and stole the spotlight. Who'd this guy think he was?!

Of course you know, this means war.

Tomorrow...

It's another day at Hexside and in the halls we see Ace in his Abom-carnAcetion form. He currently has his legs extended high above everyone, and on his shoulders were Luz, Willow, and Gus.

When they were at the lockers, Ace went down to his regular height saying, "Thank you for riding the Ace Express. Please be sure to have all of your belongings with you as we approach our destination. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to see you again soon."

His friends laughed as they got off Ace before he changed back to his normal self.

"I know, I'm a riot. (joking dramatic tone) I don't deserve to be this good."

They laughed again.

"Hey! Adri!"

They all looked to see Boscha approaching, with Amity, Skara[she still had the signature on her forehead, and Amelia following behind. Boscha did not look happy.

"*pulls out marker*(normal tone) Picture or autograph?"

She smacked the marker out of his hands and said, "I don't know who you think you are, but no one makes themselves better than me. You think you're so special showing with your 'cool tricks', well news flash: I'm at the top of the school here, so if you think-"

"Sorry, but this is getting boring. Can you cut to the chase before class starts?"

"Don't cut me off! You're bored, huh? Well how about this? You, me, witch's duel after school."

Everyone in the hallway except Amity, Luz, and Ace gasped.

"Hmm, my interest has been peeked. What're the stakes?"

"I win, you work for me for the next two weeks. And you?"

"Hmm...how about the same thing, but with a twist? You work for me for the next two weeks, but you have to do it in a maid outfit. From when you wake up in the morning, to when you go to sleep at night."

Everyone gasped again hearing that.

"...Fine." Boscha made a spell circle before the two shook hands. No backing out when the everlasting oath is sealed.

"Boscha, a word?"

Skara pulled Boscha to the side then said, "Are you crazy?! No one has ever challenged the Ace of Spades to a witch's duel, and won! No one has ever even gotten close to winning! You've seen his magic! What were you thinking?!"

Hearing that, Boscha turned back to peek at Ace. It could be as bad as Skara made it sound, could it?

Ace started walking down the hallway, when suddenly he stepped back to avoid a rabid locker that tried to lunge forward at him, only to land face first on the floor.

Before it could get up, Ace made two storm clouds appear, jumped, and as he landed to stomp on the locker, the clouds zapped him making electricity run through him, and he ended up stomping and zapping the locker.

His fist turned to stone with three spikes at the knuckles. He gave the locker a strong uppercut, which made it go up and almost touch the ceiling. When it came back down, Ace jumped up, and kicked it in the side, making it go right where it was in the wall, making a crack in said wall.

Ace dusted off his hands and kept walking.

Boscha's eyes went wide. Yeah, this was worse than how bad Skara made it sound. This could be no win situation.

After school...

Everyone came to see the school queen go against the Ace of Spades.

Heh, 'queen versus ace', nice.

Boscha looked around, waiting for Ace. A part of her was really hoping he didn't show up.

That small part of her was now gonna feel disappointment, because two seconds later, a spade shaped portal appeared in the air and Ace jumped out of it and landed on the ground making a crack in the earth.

Boscha stood there stunned before finding her wall of courage, putting it in place. It was a thin wall of courage, and she had no idea what to expect, but her dignity was on the line.

Ace's spade glowed as he said, "So, I'm feeling generous right now. *smiles* I'll let you take the first hit. Gimme your best shot! Well, if you can."

"Actually, I'll let you go first." she said. She didn't know what could happen, so she thought she'd just let him go first and see if she can win against it.

"I could've warned you that saying that's a bad idea, but hey don't say Skara didn't warn you, so sure, I'll go first."

Ace readied his Abom-carnAcetion arms, that's what we're calling them now, and said, "Let's do this!" setting his fists ablaze and immediately started trying to hit Boscha. She had to duck and dodge the fists as they came flying at her. One came flying right at her face and she hurriedly threw a potion at the ground and it made the dirt rise into a mound which blocked Ace's fist. That was when the mound broke apart into dust and grass when the his landed. Boscha stumbled back a bit, then rubbed her eyes clear.

Ace turned one arm to normal and with his magic, he made light orbs appear in the shape of a constellation he saw in a book from a trash slug from the boiling sea: Taurus, the Bull constellation. The constellation's light then shined and made the shape of Taurus the Bull. "Have at it, Taurus! *flips onto bull's back*" The bull then grew a bit and went charging at Boscha. She didn't think much of it because it was just light, but when it made contact with her and ended up ramming her off her feet and on the ground, she knew that it wasn't just light.

Luz made a mental note to get Ace to show her more of that trick.

When the bull saw that Boscha got back up, he breathed out of his nose and readied to charge again, as Ace made his axe appear in his normal hand. Ace then made two more light constellations appear: Scorpius, the Scorpion, and Aquila, the Eagle. When their light made them into a scorpion and eagle, then made them slightly bigger, Ace backflipped off Taurus' back and into a portal, and the three animals went towards Boscha. She ducked under Aquila's talons as he flew by, had to duck under Scorpius' tail when he scurried by, and had to jump out of Taurus' way when he charged by. Right after one of the animals would go by, Ace would come out of a portal and try to strike Boscha with his flaming fist or his axe. Then came when all three of them came charging. Boscha thought fast and used a potion to make a smoke screen which blinded all three animals and made them crash into each other then dissipate.

Boscha sighed seeing she was in the clear...that was until Ace came out of a portal a distance behind her, and slammed his fists into the ground, making the ground quake and jagged rocks start shooting out of the ground, getting closer and closer to the pink-skinned triclops. She saw it and threw a potion that made a jagged rock stop the incoming ones. She climbed up it and at the top drank a potion that increased her speed. She then started running around and past Ace, throwing different potions at Ace, only for Ace to dodge them every time and they ended up hitting the ground. At one point, Boscha threw a potion that would make Ace slower than normal. When she threw it, Ace caught it flawlessly and said, "Hey, I think you dropped this! Catch!" He threw it back at Boscha and it ended up hitting her in the face, returning her speed to normal, and the unexpected hit made her stumble into a tree.

"Well, time to go for a spin!" Ace did his famous tornado spin and spun even more making it even bigger and stronger. Boscha felt the tornado pull on her but she threw a potion down that made her feet stick to the ground. What she didn't count on was the jagged rocks flying into the tornado. One grabbed her by the back of her shirt, and pulled her in with it. As the tornado kept spinning, Boscha got loose from the rock and got on top of it. She spotted Ace looking at her. His grin told her that she was in trouble. His spade glowed and his body glowed meaning that he was in a different Adri-mental form.

When he stopped glowing, his skin was light blue and had electricity running all across his body and hair, there were two small clouds floating by his head, and his hands looked like they were partially made of stone.

"ClimAce is this form's name, natural disasters are now my game. Shocking, huh?"

Lightning formed in Ace's palm and he shot it at the jagged rock above Boscha and it completely shattered it into pieces! You could tell from the fearful look on Boscha's face that she did not see this coming. She jumped to the rock in front of her to escape the lightning Ace threw that destroyed the rock she was just on. This kept going until there was only two left.

"Hey, Boscha, I don't know if you noticed, but you're kinda running out of space to run."

Boscha stopped herself from jumping when the rock she was about to jump to got destroyed.

"And, now you have nowhere to run. Oh well."

Boscha could only see one way out of this: jump out of the tornado. And she did just that as Ace destroyed the rock she was just on. Before hitting the ground, she used a spell which slowed her down in time to stop her from hitting the ground. She got on her feet and looked up at the tornado and saw if starting to dissipate and in the air was Ace, still in his ClimAce form, who was flying and still smiling.

She was starting to go over all of this in her head. Was her dignity really worth this?

Ace shot lightning down at the ground making her run. She had to dodge lightning, boiling rain, mini cyclones, and she had to stop because of a literal meteor crashing on the ground and blocking her way. She looked back up at Ace who was making a huge ball of lightning in his right palm.

Okay, her dignity was not worth this!

"Okay, okay! You win! Just don't zap me!" she pleaded, on the ground next to the meteor while shielding herself.

"Nothing to it but to do it." Ace said before blasting the ball upwards and beyond the sky. He then lowered to the ground as people cheered for Ace as turned back to his normal self.

Boscha put her hand over her face. She could not believe she forfeit the duel.

"That day I thought, 'Now there's a good idea. I wonder if I could do something similar with light spells.' So, I made constellations with light orbs and with my magic, I made them into light you could touch."

We see Ace and Luz sitting at the school steps outside of the school the next day and Ace's explaining the light constellations he did.

"Hey, you thirsty?" "I could use a drink." "*whistles* Boscha! We're thirsty!"

Boscha came over, blushing from embarrassment and anger, in a maid outfit holding a dish in one hand with two glasses of iced drinks.

"I'll get you for this..." "*smirks* Good luck."

Ace took the drinks, gave one to Luz, they clinked them, then drank.

Yep, Ace is gonna love it here.
