Rise of the Malactric Heir

Adora got up and went out to the beach after they finished eating. Her phone rang, and she took it out of her pocket and answered it.

"Hello," she said.

"Adora, where are you?" the caller asked, and she sighed.

"At the base, you guys don't usually call, what's the matter? Did you want to talk to Misran?" she asked.

"No, we want to talk to you, we may have a problem," the girl on the other end of the phone responded, and Adora sighed.

"What's the issue this time?" she asked.

"We saw some of the guys working for the enemies, they were talking about the crystal, but something about it not being itself, I don't know, I just thought you should know, we followed them for a while but lost them within the city," she responded.

"Don't follow them, they don't stay in one place, they were probably just passing by, try your best to avoid them, thank you for informing me, I will look into it, Misran's your team leader, he is here but you guys need to be careful, am I clear?" Adora inquired.

"Yes, crystal clear, should we just get back to work?" she asked.

"Yes, but please don't get involved with the enemy," Adora responded.

"All right, your highness, will everything be all right with you guys?" Adora smiled as she asked.

"Probably, we're all trying, but this time it's going to be a lot harder, and once you guys finish your work, I want you all to go home," Adora responded.

"If that's what you want, then so be it; we'll return home; should I notify the other teams?" she asked.

"They'll be mad, I'll do it myself, take care," Adora responded and the girl sighed.

"You, too, your highness," the girl said before hanging up, and Adora returned to the mansion, looking at the others laughing and talking.

"Misran, I just got off with one of your team members, and they ran into a few of the enemies," Adora said, and they all turned to face her.

"Adora, are they okay?" Misran asked as he approached her.

"Yeah, they are fine, I told them not to make contact, I basically ordered them not to try looking for them, but she did say that they mentioned the last crystal, saying it was not itself," she responded.

"Not itself?" Alix asked.

"Yeah, even I have no idea what the hell it means," she responded.

"Damn it, I'm having a bad feeling right now," Misran said.

"Don't worry, I told them to come home; I'm going to contact the other teams, and if their missions aren't critical, I'm pulling them back; they'll all return home," Adora replied as she lowered her head.

"Are you sure about this, Adora?" Serina inquired as Adora dialed a phone number.

'Come on, pick up the phone,' she thought.

"Hello," the person answered.

"Are you guys finished with your mission?" she inquired.

"No, your highness, that hot-headed idiot is dealing with this; is there something wrong?" The young man on the other end of the phone inquired.

"No, go ahead, just return home when you're done and be careful," she replied.

"Got it, I will tell him, take care," he said and she smiled.

"You guys as well," she replied before hanging up.

"Team one?" Misran asked.

"Yeah, they're still working on the mission," she replied.

"Well, we all know how he is, he won't let anything happen to his members," Misran said.

"Do you think we have another shot at getting to that crystal and the enemy?" Alix asked and Adora looked at him.

"Yeah, we do have another shot, if only there was something we could use to actually see that crystal," Adora responded and Alix sighed.

"That's going to be difficult to obtain; they'll have it in a secure area, one that will be difficult even for us to locate," Alix said, as Adora sighed.

"He is correct, getting to that crystal will be difficult; it was difficult enough the last time," Kyris replied.

"Then there's only one thing you can do to make sure you don't lose," Adora said, and they all looked at her.

"To go all out, not to hesitate against your opponent no matter who it may be, is that right?" Alix asked and Kyris smirked.

"I think that's right, if we don't have to worry about killing them, then that's going to be better for us," Kylla responded.

"I think he's right, Adora," Ifrit said, and Adora scoffed.

"Not think, he is right, well you guys get to fight however you want," she replied, and they smiled, relieved that they could choose how to fight without fear of severely injuring their opponents.

"Now that this is settled, I think we ought to train," Alix said and Adora looked at him then smiled and the others agreed.

"I'll join you guys; we can all train together, right?" Serina asked.

"Of course, we can, it's better that way, and I suggest you guys strengthen all of your attacks, letting others underestimate them," Alix responded, and Kyris smirked.

"I am all for that," Kyllan said and the others agreed while smiling.

After deciding on their training, everyone left to train in the woods near the mansion, except Adora, who was in no mood to train and instead stayed at the mansion, relaxing in the living room while listening to music on the television.

While listening to the music, Adora stood up and began dancing, moving to the beat of the music and letting herself go for a while, but while she was doing so, Alix entered the mansion.

Alix couldn't help but stare when he saw her dancing, and a smirk appeared on his face as he blew a whistle, and she became distracted and nearly fell, but he grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up. She looked at him while heavily breathing, and he winked at her, causing her cheeks to flush as she realized how close she was to him, and she elbowed him by his side, causing him to move away from her and she sighed then turned the music off.
