Rise of the Malactric Heir

"You guys are up next," Nina said, smiling.

"Are you ready? "Are you nervous?" Yan questioned.

"I am fine; how about you guys?" Alix asked.

"We are not nervous; we can do it,' Ayden said.

"I like how you guys are thinking, nice, well good luck, may you see the light of victory," Elijah said as Alix clenched his fists at the sight of the Red Claws entering the ring, which had been reinforced and the barrier was stronger than before.

"They're trouble, good luck you'll need it," Kyris said.

"We will, I can tell they are powerful, and it's not a good idea to underestimate them," Alix replied.

"You are right, don't ever make that mistake, they are not one of the best teams for no reason, they are monstrous, especially their leader, Soren," Kyris said, as Alix sighed.

"It's time for us to go,' he said as he walked away, and the others followed.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" Nina questioned as they entered the ring, and the barrier closed tightly after that.

"If I were Soren, I wouldn't underestimate them either; it's pretty clear to me that they consider Alix and the rest newbies; one thing I know for certain is that Adora never chooses those she knows will fail, which is why I believe this match will be their victory," Kyris responded and the others smiled upon hearing that.

"Well, they're already in the ring, so let's just sit back and hope," Elijah said, and they did just that as Lyzon smirked at Alix.

"Are you certain you want to start this match?" Lyzon questioned.

"Of course, and why wouldn't I be? Unless you're afraid of losing to a bunch of newbies," Alix responded and Soren smirked.

"There you have it, let's just get this started," Soren said as they stood in their respective corners with four members each.

"Let the battle begin," the referee said as he rang the bell, and one of Soren's teammates vanished, but no one attacked.

"Use your good sense to your advantage guys, we have a sneaky cat in the ring," Alix warned.

'Roger that,' Aerav said, his eyes turning orange.

"This match will take some time, they aren't attacking yet," Eliza said as she approached the others, who smiled nervously.

"You are right," Nina replied, and Eliza sighed as one of Soren's teammates' right arm began to glow orange and he rushed towards Alix's team, but Aerav blocked his flaming hands with his own.

"Now this will be interesting because some members have similar powers, which is not a coincidence," Kyris said.

"I will take Alix, you two handle the next two," Soren said as the girl with the twin demon blades rushed to Sarh and Lyzon rushed to Ayden.

"You are a newbie, you should never have agreed to fight us," Soren said as the others clashed, causing a wave of immense energy to shake the ring and everyone left staring because no other new team had ever gone toe-to-toe with the Red Claws.

"You are going to get trashed," Lyzon said as he formed a lightning ball in his palm, and Alix gasped as fire formed around the lightning.

"Ayden won't be able to handle that," Eliza said, squeezing Yan's arm, and Ayden smiled as the guy threw the lightning ball at him, but he jumped up in the air with bolts of lightning forming around his feet and kicked the ball right back at the guy, and Lyzon gasped, but he dodged the attack.

"That was smart, also Nina, relax, they'll be fine," Yan sighed.

"They are not a threat, huh? handle it right now," Soren said as Lyzon's eyes began to glow blue and he took out his sword, which was surrounded by small bolts of lightning, while Aerav defended himself against the other fire user.

"Aren't you going to launch an attack?" Soren inquired.

"I am not stupid," Alix said.

"That I know, seems like I underestimated your team, it's pretty clear you guys trained well, I don't make the same mistakes twice," Soren said as darkness formed around his fingers and Alix closed his eyes, remembering the vanished girl and wanting to get rid of her for she could be an obstacle in his fight.

"You don't close your eyes in a match," Soren said as he rushed to Alix who pulled away really fast from him, Soren smirked as Alix sensed the vanished girl walking towards him and as she appeared before him about to launch an attack, Alix kicked her into Lyzon who was hitting Ayden, causing both of them to collide and Ayden to sighed while panting.

"Can I really beat this guy?" Ayden mumbled as the girl revealed herself, knowing she had to confront them.

"Not a threat huh Lyzon? Once we win this, I'm going to kill you," the girl shouted and Lyzon chuckled as they stood back up.

"Don't be hasty, you don't have to win every match, there is nothing wrong with more competition, plus this is just getting started, I think Soren knows by now, we won't be joking around," he replied as he kicked Ayden to the other side of the ring, but the boy got back up while Sarah and the girl's blade continued to clash, leaving sparks behind.

"Your fire isn't as strong as mine," Aerav's opponent said as a flaming whip formed around Aerav's arm and the guy lifted him up in the air before slamming him back into the ring and Nina closed her eyes.

"This isn't going to end well," Nina grumbled, but despite his injuries, Aerav rose up and grabbed the guy's flaming whip.

"You are a little too confident, I will show you whose firepower is stronger," Aerav said as the guy tried to pull the whip away, but Aerav didn't let go and his eyes along with his hands started glowing orange then he drew the guy closer to him and punched him in the stomach with his flaming fists, sending him flying with a huge crash into the ground.

"Now, now, focus here, don't worry about your teammates, I will break you," Soren said, finally ready to fight, and Alix smiled as they faced each other.
