“Ehh?” Micky looked at Lexi confused. “There’s no way I’m letting you back inside here. I got dragged into this mess because of you!” Micky almost shouted.

“Don’t be stupid!” Lexi snapped. She flinched and held her stomach in pain. “Look there is no other way for us to beat him. You’re too weak and I’m badly wounded.”

“Weak?” Micky began to get upset. “If it wasn’t for me, your powers would have gotten sapped by that pervert!”

“You do know I can hear you two, right?” Olen said with an annoyed expression. He stood by the girls waiting to pierce them with the large flaming needles. “I don’t even know why I’m wasting time talking to you,” he sighed. He pointed the needles at the girls, but as he readied himself to strike them with it, the ground below Lexi and Micky began to crack. A deep hole formed and the two girls fell down inside. Olen rushed over to the hole, but it closed up just as he got there.

“What?! Where did they go?” he asked as he looked around.

“Forget about those girls. Your fight is now with me,” A voice came behind Olen. The blade of a sword swung down, but Olen quickly blocked it with one of his sword length needles. Avio smirked and jumped away from Olen. He swung his sword twice sending two arcs of blue energy towards Olen. The usual wall of fire countered the attack, but then Olen sidestepped a metal rod that swung down near him. Wyzen spun the rod in his hands and readied to attack again.

“Two against one? That’s nothing,” Olen said with confidence.

“Make that three against one!” Gale said as she slammed her huge steel hammer on the ground sending a strong force of wind pushing Olen back a few feet. The wall of fire quickly disappeared and Avio charged at Olen sending another energy arc his way. Olen dodged the energy arc and caught Wyzen’s rod in his hand as it was thrust towards his head.

“Hmmm, you all are stronger than I thought,” said Olen. “It seems I did put these girls in good hands after all.” He concentrated his energy into one hand then struck it onto the center of Wyzen’s rod making it bend into a “V” shape. “However, you’re not strong enough to defeat me.”

Olen gave Wyzen an upward punch to his chin causing him to stumble back. He kicked him to the ground then used Wyzen’s now “V” shaped rod to pin his neck down causing him to choke a bit. Olen then rushed at Avio and attempted to stab him with his long needle. Avio dodged some of the attacks, but received a close cut near his throat. Gale swung her hammer horizontally at Olen’s legs, but he jumped in the air and shot fire in a spiral shape from his hands. Gale let go of her hammer just in time to dodge the attack, but one of her legs were slightly burned.

“You know, a nice weapon like this shouldn’t be left around carelessly,” Olen said with a smirk as he picked up the huge hammer from the ground. “But don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it.”

Meanwhile, in a small cave underground, Lexi and Micky opened their eyes to find Miru and Rae standing in front of them. Micky was sitting up on the ground while Lexi was wrapped in Miru’s chains with her hands and feet encased in large stones from the ground.

“Why the hell am I tied up?!” Lexi shouted as she struggled to get loose.

“You are one of the enemies. Why shouldn’t you be tied up?” Miru asked with her arms folded across her chest.

Lexi became angry. “Look, if you want to beat this guy you have to trust me.”

“Why should we trust you?” Rae asked. “You killed Rica. She was your sister!” Rae clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger. She couldn’t trust anyone who might betray them.

“Rica is not important!” Lexi shouted. “Why are you so obsessed with her?”

“Why?” Rae looked at Micky then back at Lexi. “Because…..she’s Micky’s mother...” The cave was quiet. Only the rumbling from the battle on the surface echoed in the cave walls.

“My mother?” Micky questioned. “But how?”

“She wanted to keep it a secret, so we left this town with father after you were born,” said Rae.

Lexi sighed. “Geeze, she at least could have told the whole truth,” Lexi whispered to herself.

“What truth?” Micky asked.

“It’s not important,” Lexi said. “Just untie me. We don’t have much time left.”

Micky walked up to Lexi and grabbed her by her yellow shirt. “Tell me what you know or else you won’t be leaving out of here alive!” Micky shouted.

“Oh a threat, huh? You don’t even have the strength to do anything to me.”

“Quit your yapping and just tell me already!”

Lexi stared back into Micky’s eyes then answered. “If she didn’t tell you, then she doesn’t want you to know.”

A confused looked appeared on Micky’s face. “What are you talking about? What doesn’t she want me to know?” Micky shook Lexi as she began to get upset.

“It’s not important. That’s all I will tell you until this battle is over, so just untie me!”

They stared each other in the eyes for a few seconds then Micky gave Lexi a punch in the face.

“Do you think this is a joke?” Micky asked. “First you take over my body to attack people and now you spout nonsense about my mother. Rae, Miru, let’s go. This woman is of no use to us.”

Rae used her powers to open up a hole to the surface and the three girls left Lexi alone in the dark cave. Lexi sat there and smirked. “Like mother like daughter, huh? Well, she definitely didn’t get her stubbornness from her father,” she said as the sound of chains dropped to the floor.

“Micky, stop walking so fast!” Rae said as she and Miru stopped and tried to catch her breath. “Don’t you think you were a bit harsh on Lexi?”

Micky looked at her sister. “Rae, is Rica really my mother?”

Rae was silent for a second then answered. “That’s what father told me. And it’s one of the reasons we knew we would find you in this town.

“What is the reason father wanted me to keep this mark hidden? Why didn’t he tell me that I am a Mecca? You all have been keeping secrets from me for all these years. Especially about my mother,” Micky said.

Rae sighed. “Micky listen, father just wanted to protect you. And about Rica, she must have had a reason also.” Rae put her hand on Micky’s shoulder. “The only one who can give us a clue right now is Lexi, so we have to keep her alive.”

“I have nothing more to say about Lexi, so don’t bring her name up,” Micky said as she took Rae’s hand off her shoulder.

A large bang was heard a few feet away. The three girls rushed over to the scene and saw fire everywhere. Olen was franticly swinging around Gale’s hammer while she, Avio and Wyzen were running for their lives.

“Why run when you have nowhere to hide?” Olen said as he slammed the hammer on the ground sending streaks of fire racing towards Gale. She couldn’t run as fast as Avio and Wyzen because of the burn on her leg so she created a shield and blocked the fire before it scorched her.

“Did you really think that would save you?” Olen’s voice came from behind her. As soon as Gale turned around, he grabbed her by the neck and slammed her on the floor. A red aura began to surround the two and Olen began to drain Gale’s power.

Suddenly, a knife went through Olen’s stomach and out of his back. He looked down and saw Gale pushing the knife further into his body.

“How? Y, you....shouldn’t have….enough power…to move,” he said before coughing up blood. The red aura faded and Gale pushed Olen away from her still holding the knife inside of him.

“When you tried to drain Lexi’s power earlier and Micky stopped you with a punch, I noticed that’s when your body becomes vulnerable,” Gale said as she finally pulled the knife out of Olen and kicked him to the ground where he laid lifeless. Micky, Rae, and Miru ran over to the scene and looked at Olen lying on the ground.

“Is it finally over?” Miru asked.

“It looks like it,” Avio said as his sword vanished. He sat on the ground and exhaled a sigh of relief.

“Well we can’t relax just yet,” said Rae. “What are we going to do about Lexi?”

“That’s right. Where is Lexi?” Gale asked. “Rae, isn’t she supposed to be with you?”

“Relax. She’s tied up underground,” said Rae. She crouched down and placed her hands on the floor. She closed her eyes while a yellow aura began to emit from her body. Rae quickly opened her eyes and stood up looking around in panic. “She’s gone!”
Enjoy and tell me what you think!
