"Down there,Vida"Yasmin pointed down.
Vida lowered her paper bird down to where she had pointed.The bed landed down gracefully before disappearing.
They looked around,the place was filled with trash everywhere, chemicals scattered on the floor.
"This is a wasteland"Ace commented.
Alura looked around,she felt like she knew the place,it felt awfully familiar.
"According to the map,the gem is located in a river"Yasmin spoke as she looked up from the map.
The communicator rang,Enzo opened it revealing Arkin.
"Where are you?"he called out from the communicator.
Enzo replied him.
"Okay I'm on my way,I'm nearby"Enzo nodded at his response before closing the communicator.
"For now,let's find the river"Yona walked ahead of them,they joined up with her and continued walking.
~~~~~~~~~
"Now that I think of it,do you think Alaster sent people after the gem"Aviva spoke up breaking the silence.
"If he did,they would be there already by now,walking is going to take long"
Jude replied.
"Leave it to me"Aviva spoke as she created a giant wind bird,they got on top of it.
The bird started flying at incredible speed,the wind blowing past them.
"Did you hear the voice again?"Ciara spoke as she sat beside Evette.
"No"Evette shook her head"but since then,I've felt like I gained an immense knowledge of fire"
"That's good"
"Aviva can this thing go any faster?"Jude asked.
"Roger"she placed her hands on the bird,the bird stopped before soaring at an even faster pace than before.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"The map states that the gem is in the water"Yasmin stared at the sea.
"We have to go in to get it"Hugo stated.
"And quick before the other gang who are also after it gets here"Yona stated.
"But how?"Enzo asked as he looked up from the water.
The rest remained silent thinking, Vida looked around before speaking her eyes locked on with Yasmin's eyes"Only you can go in there,Yas because you're glass is not affected by the water"
Yasmin nodded,she held her hands apart wrapping them in a glass sphere,the sphere lifted into the sky before descending into the water.
~~~~~~~~
"Jude how much longer?"Aviva asked.
"The feeling is stronger, we're almost there"
Aviva nodded,she held her palm forward,the bird flew faster.
~~~~~~~~
"That's the cave in the map"Yona pointed at a cave ahead of them.
Yasmin nodded and steered the sphere towards the direction she had pointed.
They heard a spark of electricity,they flinched before looking at the figure that had appeared,Arkin, seeing that it was only him,they regained their expression.
"How did you get here"Ryzen spoke up.
Arkin waved a teleportation device at them"this transports you to the owner of the DNA,cool don't you think,is that where the gem is?"he stared at the approaching cave.
Vida nodded,her gaze locked unto the cave.
~~~~~~~~~~
"The presence is stronger underwater,we need to go in"he looked at Ciara.
She nodded and in no time,a bubble of water surrounded them,the bubble had air in it so they could breathe.
The bubble entered the water as they followed Jude's orders.
~~~~~~~~~
"This cave is huge"Alura spoke as they entered the cave,Yasmin bringing down her glass sphere.
"Let's go in we don't have time"Ace spoke walking past her into the cave.
"Hold on there, Pretty boy"
"Don't call me that Alura"
She simply laughed running past him.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Ciara,can you get us in that cave"
Jude pointed at the cave.
Ciara nodded steering the bubble in that direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Let's go this way"Yasmin pointed right and they followed her.
Alura stopped"they're people coming,if you really want to get this gem we need to be fast"
"People, what are you talking about, we're the only ones here"Vida asked confused.
"Let's just hurry to be on the safe side"Enzo spoke.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Ciara dropped the bubble as they entered the cave.
"Aviva,I need you to a quick scan for me, check if they're people here,you too E,check for human temperature, Kyle,can you sense them through the earth"Jude spoke they nodded.
Kyle crouched down placing his palms on the ground,a wave rippled throughout the floor of the cave,Aviva waved her hands in front of her before bringing them down.
"They're people here,farther away though,must be those who were sent by Alaster"Kyle stated and Evette and Aviva nodded.
"I can feel human temperature too"Evette confirmed.
"Same,we need to hurry"Aviva spoke.
Jude nodded"I guess walking is out of the options"he waved his hand and a huge shadow engulfed them, before speeding to the location of the gem.
~~~~~~~~
"Just one more turn before we reach it "Yasmin spoke as they turned left.
~~~~~~~~~
"Damn,this thing is fast"Kyle spoke as the surrounding passed by in a blur.
"Where next?"he looked at Jude.
"Left"Jude spoke and the shadow engulfing them turned left.
"Look ahead,those are Alaster's minions"Evette spoke.
True to what she said,Yasmin and the rest were getting closer to the gem.
Ciara looked at them,she clenched her fist tightly,that was Rielle's gem,her gem.
"Drop us Jude"she spoke icily"we need to stop them"
Jude didn't say anything, removing the shadow engulfing them.
"Ooh what do we have here?"Alura called out,the others turned around, seeing that they had company,they understood what Alura was talking about.
"Listen up"Kyle spoke"You have two options,either give us the gem or..."
Boom
Alura shot him but Kyle stopped it with an earth wall.
"I guess it's the other option then"he spoke calmly.
The rest readied their stance.
"Yona get the gem, we'll handle them"Yasmin spoke as she jumped up opening her right palm,million glass shards shot out.
Jude covered them with a black hole,the glass shards didn't touch them as the black hole absorbed them.
Once he brought down the black hole, Evette and Ciara leapt forward,Ciara had encased her fingers in ice claws,Evette was with a fire whip.
Vida rushed at Ciara,she threw a punch but Ciara blocked her hand with her arms in an x-like position.
Evette grabbed Vida's leg,she was about to drag her to herself but Ace interrupted.
He shuffled his deck of cards,a card with a picture multiple blades on it flew out and up in the air, seconds later, multiple blades rained down at them.
Aviva put her hands together and a huge wind blew knocking the blades.
Kyle raised his hands forward,a huge earth hand rose up attempting to grab Ace but Hugo sliced it off with a light blade.
Hugo raised his palm up and multiple light swords shot down targeting them.
Jude created a black hole absorbing all of them.Ciara sent out a water pinwheel at him but Enzo stopped it with a sand hand.
Ryzen who was beside Yona rushed at them,he opened his hands and paper tags flew out exploding once they got in contact with anything.
Kyle rose up a wall of earth blocking them from the paper tags.Once he brought out the wall,Jude shot out multiple tendrils at them.
They were about to grab them when Arkin released electric bolts everywhere damaging the tendrils.
Alura shot multiple bullets non stop at all of them.Aviva summoned multiple wind blades deactivating the bullets.
Ciara sent out multiple ice blades at them but Yasmin blocked them with her glass wall.
Evette was about to attack when Yona got the gem and told her gang that they could go.
Immediately she said it,Ace shuffled his deck of cards,a card with a picture of a portal appeared.Jude and his friends ran after them but they had already entered the portal.
"Fuck it"Kyle brought his palms together and the earth opened up,they entered in,reappearing on the shore above.
Yasmin and her gang were on Vida's paper bird flying away with the gem.
"Damn it"Jude ran a hand through his hair"let's go after them"
"No,where's the next place?"Ciara asked.
"The fae realm"he replied.
"You guys can start going if you want,I'm going to get my gem back"she ran backwards before running into the water,tilting her body,she started riding the water at an incredibly fast pace chasing after Vida's paper bird.
Ace and Yasmin sent out attacks but she avoided them,riding forward and backward.
"She can do that?"Aviva spoke surprised.
Ciara raised her hand and the water rose, raising her to the level of Vida's bird.
"I believe you have something that's mine,it's better you give it back"the chill in her voice sent chills to them.
"What makes you think that?"Alura sneered.
Ciara smiled faintly"you asked for this,have you forgotten that you're in my domain,I may be outnumbered but you're outmatched"she rose her right palm up and the water seemed to twirl taking the figure of a huge sea monster.
The sea monster brought it hands down,Yasmin barely managed to save them when it destroyed Vida's bird.
The gem fell in the process,"No!"she shouted as she watched Ciara catch the falling gem.
"Should we go after it?"Alura asked.
"No"Arkin replied"this is her domain,with this large expense of water at her disposal,it's best we follow the map and go after the next gem."
Yasmin nodded and they flew off to the next gem.
Ciara looked at the gem in her hands,she felt an immense power flow through her body,she could feel the presence of the closest gem and faint presence of those that were far away.
She rode the water back to her friends.
"Nice one Ci"Evette commented when she got there.
They all praised her.
"I'm sure you can feel the presence of the gem too"Jude spoke and she nodded"then let's get going"he continued.
They started walking to the fae realm,Jude and Ciara guiding them.
