Rise of the Malactric Heir

After Olivia left to go after Cameron, Adora couldn't help but be concerned about the outcome if the enemies came after her team seriously, but she was confident that they could hold their own now.

"Adora "I really didn't mean to irritate him," Isabella said.

"I said it's fine, I know you didn't," she responded, "but he is taking it hard, he's worried, and I'm pretty sure it's not about himself."

"You guys listen to me carefully, if you ever bump into the enemy do not attempt to fight them if they do not attack, they are up to something, they are not serious about fighting us that I am sure about which means they will still be coming for Zavis and I don't know when," Adora said.

"Don't worry, Adora, I'll be fine, I will keep working on a deadly attack with my powers," he said and she smiled.

"Your powers can stop an attack from coming at you, that's just one thing so far, but it can only stop it if you can see the attack, I have a feeling it's going to cause you pain, but I will have you sense the attack before it touches you, that will take a while to learn so you will be under Alix's protection for the time being," Adora said with a smirk as Alix and the others looked at her in surprise.

"Adora, are you sure about this?" Alix inquired.

"Why won't I be?" she asked.

"I am still learning, I believe I can protect him but still," he responded and she sighed.

"But?" she asked and he clenched his fists.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, your highness; you know I'm not in complete control," he explained.

"Don't worry, you have enough control; besides, you'll become more powerful than anyone here," Adora replied, and Kyris smiled.

​ "Let's hope so; besides Alix, you don't have to worry about anything because we are all here for each other, right?" Kyris inquired with a smile, and Alix agreed with a smile and nod.

"Good then it's settled, Alix will protect Zavis if he cannot protect himself," Adora said.

"Got it," Zavis replied, then they left the dining hall after finishing their food and were about to go do their own thing when Zack walked into the castle and Adora noticed him.

"Zack," she called out, and when he saw her, he smiled.

"Good morning, Adora," he said cheerfully.

"Good morning," she said, "what brings you here?"

"What are you guys doing now?" he asked.

"Nothing, we are just relaxing; I forbade them from training because they overdid it," she replied, and he laughed.

"I thought that might happen, they just need to relax, the last match before the finals is in half an hour, so since you guys aren't doing anything, maybe you should all come, they will get to see one of their opponents fight," he said.

"That sounds good," Aerav and Alix agreed, and Adora sighed as she turned around to see them standing by the door.

"Well, there you have it, Zack, we will come," she said and he smiled.

"That's great, I will be waiting for you guys, I was passing by so I decided to stop and tell you," Zack replied.

"I appreciate it, but why don't you wait for us?" "We can come with you right away; we are all dressed nicely and doing nothing right now," she said.

"Well, that's even better because we can all go at the same time," he replied.

"Alix and Aerav, please tell the others for me," she said.

"Got it," Aerav replied before leaving to inform the others, and Adora sighed as she braced herself against the wall.

"Is everything all right?" "You appear to be stressed," Zack observed.

"I guess everything is fine," she replied.

"Doesn't sound fine to me," he said, and she smiled.

"Who is this?" Cameron asked as he walked into the castle with Olivia smiling by his side.

"Ah, Cameron," she replied, "this is one of my childhood friends, Zack," he smiled.

"So you are Cameron, nice to meet you, I see you are up and about," Zack said.

"Nice to meet you too," he replied, "and yeah, I just woke up."

"Would you like to come with us to see the final match before the finals tomorrow, Cameron?" she asked.

"Certainly, I don't see why not," Cameron replied.

"Are you certain?" Olivia inquired, and he smiled.

"Yeah, I am," he said.

"All right, let's hear what the others have to say," Adora said as they entered the living room and saw the others preparing their things.

"Do I take this as a yes that you are all going?" Adora asked.

"They are," Alix confirmed.

"Nice, now that I think about it, you guys are a lot; how many people are on this team?" Zack inquired.

"You will find out later, I am combining the other teams into one," she replied, and Zack left staring at her.

"How many more teams are there?" Alix asked.

"Just two more, trust me, they're really strong," Isabella said.

"You really do have a lot of time on your hands," Zack said, and Adora chuckled before patting him on the shoulder.

"I don't, I just make time," she replied and he smiled.

"OK, you are quite mysterious, and I know you have a few other sidekicks; are you assembling a small army?" he inquired.

"Perhaps, are you guys ready?" Adora questioned.

"Really?" he asked.

"Perhaps I am; after all, we will need a lot of power on our side soon enough," she responded, and he agreed.

"I understand, that's a good thing, you really do plan ahead, having you as a team leader is good, you will make a great queen," he said as he wrapped his arm around her neck and she smiled.

"Adora, we are ready," Nina said. "That's good, let's go then," Adora replied then they all left the castle, got into different cars and left for the arena to watch the match.
