Paul: Unto the next target — who should we tame next, Stellavore?
Stellavore: Flameheart, my younger brother.
Sai: According to the book, he's in Aethonix Realm.
Paul: Realm of dwarves — can't wait to see what he's made of.
(Portal opens to Aethonix.)
Sai: Oh my God — it's beautiful.
Stellavore: It's been a long time since I've been here.
Paul: To the Flame Forest — let's tame a flaming beast.
(Flameheart patiently waiting for Paul.)
Flameheart: Long time no see, Stellavore. I can see you've been tamed. Where is this Ninth Creation you spoke of?
Paul: Caught you off guard. {Elemental Release — Beast Tamer} What?! A clone made of fire?!
Sai: Watch out!
(Flameheart attacks Paul.)
Flameheart: {Horse Breath — Majestic Flame of Sorrow}
Paul: Blood? Wait, wait — I'm bleeding from my eyes.
Flameheart: Time to finish this!
(Back to Earth Realm.)
Maya: How do we find Maria Badway?
Riley: Leave it to me. {Elemental Release — Detection Skill}
Maya: So you're the genius in your family?
Riley: Genius? Nope — I don't have the IQ Ashley has.
Kyle: Can you focus, please?
Riley: Picking up something… wait, what?
Kyle: What is it?
Riley: She's working for Paul, Mum.
Kyle: What?! That's bad — really bad.
Riley: She's alone for now. Looks like she's spotted us.
Kyle: Riley, you and Maya handle her. I need to go to Xanders to pick up Nick Corros.
Maya: I'll go with you — Ezra said he's dangerous.
Kyle: Stay with Riley. All right, I will find him.
Maya: Promise me.
Kyle: I promise. Besides, I'm the king's right-hand man. The king told me what to tell him.
Riley: Be careful.
(Portal opens to Xanders.)
Kyle (mind communication): Hey Paul, where are you now?
Paul: Me? Still in Aethonix, fighting Flameheart.
Kyle: Just arrived at Xanders. Have you caught any Realm Beasts yet?
Paul: Yes — Stellavore. Talk to you later.
(Back in Aethonix battle.)
Flameheart: You better focus, little brat. {Elemental Release — Sound Wave}
Paul: Not bad — but can you counter your own attack? {Elemental Release — Sound Wave}
Sai: Wow — he sent Flameheart's attack back at him.
(Flameheart collapses to the ground.)
Paul: {Elemental Release — Beast Tamer}
Flameheart: Cheater. Well done winning against me. I, Flameheart of Aethonix, shall serve you till eternity.
Sai: That was cool. Should get ready for school — summer break is almost here.
Paul: Let me open a portal for you then.
(Portal opens to Earth Realm.)
Sai: See you later.
Paul: Take care. So, who should we go for next, Stellavore?
Stellavore: To Zenithor Realm — Frostgard is our next prey.
Paul: All right.
(In Xanders Realm.)
Kyle: Can't believe it — so this is Xanders Realm. Where is Parma City?
Farmer: Oi, it's those freaks again! They've come to take our children!
Kyle: No — you've got it all wrong. I'm looking for a man named Nick Corros.
Farmer: Oi! No one says that name again.
Kyle: Why?
Farmer's wife: He led his entire group to death.
Kyle: Where can I find him?
Farmer: Check the forest where those pop-stick shines the brightest. Be careful — the last mage who went there didn't come out alive.
Kyle: Thanks for the warning.
(Flashback to Aethoria Realm.)
Paul: Hey Kyle — you will search for Nick Corros. And you're going alone.
Kyle: Alone? Why?
Paul: He led his entire squad to challenge the ruler of Xanders. His squad betrayed him for rank and power, leaving him no choice but to run for his life.
(Back to present time.)
Kyle: Pop-stick shines the brightest, huh? That's bad — looks like he wants the enemy to find him.
Nick: I knew you rankers would come again.
Kyle: Rankers? No — I'm not one of them. So you're Nick Corros.
Nick: If you're not one of them, how do you know my name?
Kyle: I came here to offer you an opportunity.
Nick: That crest — no way. You're a creation.
Kyle: Yes, I am.
Nick: What do you creations want with a useless man like me?
Kyle: My king, Paul, promised to find your mother's killer.
(Nick grabs Kyle by the neck.)
Nick: What did you just say?
Kyle: I'll tell you if you let me go — because you're dying first.
(A spike blade appears at the back of Nick's head.)
Nick: All right.
Kyle: Join our king in his quest to rule the entire realm.
Nick: What's in it for me?
Kyle: Xanders Realm will be yours — and your generations' to rule, of course. I'm curious…
Nick: About what?
Kyle: Your story, of course.
Nick: After the death of Luke Stark, a crazy man appeared in our realm and separated the rich, average, and poor, creating Jendova City — the floating city. So I gathered my childhood friends and we attacked the capital, Jendova. Everything changed when we saw him.
Kyle: Who?
Nick: A man inside a giant ball. That's where my memories serve me right. So this Paul is the new head of your group, right?
Kyle: It's called Creations, dumbass. I was expecting a fight.
Nick:(laughs) I was saving my strength for my last attack.
Kyle: Boulders? Why? The city is impenetrable. I can't even break through except with a massive attack.
Nick: I guess I'm not dying yet. So where can I meet this Paul person?
Kyle: Soon — he's capturing Realm Beasts.
(Portal opens to Aethoria Realm.)
Ezra: You're back, right-hand man.
Kyle: Aye. Wait — did you catch Maria Badway already?
Riley: Told her what you told me.
Maya: Is the king back yet, Ezra?
Ezra: Not yet — he should be soon.
