"No!" Ravi's eyes widened.
"Nerina? can you hear me?" Thalia's voice shook
"Yes." Sabina cocked slightly. "More to my collection, 3 now." she smiled softly.
"Three? You took two people from our school!?" Ravi spoke
"Yes, as they say, two is better than one." she moved her hand. "For my final surprise, I'll let you finally fight you off"
a shadow appeared next to Sabina, she smirked as Keith came out, his appearance changing into something cruel.
"Keith!?" Thalia laughed.
"oh right, my dear twin sister. I mourn when I didn't see you" Keith's voice deepened.
"My stupid brother, he could've attacked himself… he's so pathetic" she scoffed "What are we supposed to do now?" Thalia spoke.
"We might have to find an advantage, earth is stronger than water if we keep controlling deflecting her ice magic." Ravi explained.
Thalia gently pulled herself away from Ravi's grasp.
"Right, I'll create some rocks then." Thalia used her signature move, she curled her hands into fists before slamming it hard on the ground.
with a loud thud, the ground shook vigorously, cracks appearing everywhere.
"Don't try to act all tough, you're injured!" Ravi scolded.
"But I can't just, not do anything" Thalia pierced back.
"I'd rather you not do anything than injure yourself you idiot!" Ravi sighed.
"urgh I cant find my headphones" Kento gritted.
"Why was I friends with a princess who did so much wrong?" Nerina glared.
"Rina! Please! Snap out of it!" she held her nearly re-opened wound.
"Snap out of it and what? You'll turn me into your accessories?" she shot back. "All your fame and money came from blood!" her hand moved. "Move." she spoke, before moving her hand to towards her face.
all of a sudden Ravi's hand pushed Thalia away.
"Ravi! What are you doing!?" Thalia asked.
"I-I am not sure, I can't control myself."
"What!? But this power was only used during the flag hunt… unless"
"That's right you brat, I hid my amazing powers from you! I didn't want your pathetic father getting hold of me after all" Nerina laughed evilly.
"What do you mean!?" Thalia huffed.
"are all royals this stupid? you know what your father did to me" her icy eyes pierced through Thalia's confused state.
A long strand of blood circled around Kento. "I think we made it in time!" Nami huffed.
A large group of rocks surrounded Nerina. However Keith got in before she was fully surrounded.
"Xiang! You're the only one who can stop her magic!" Nami said running to the students.
"You teachers are annoying!" Sabina spotted a flicker of green light flash her eye "Oh wait, another gem user… my, my" sabina looked at the earth user.

"You alright?" Keith said looking in her eyes
"Just leave me alone," Nerina said harshly.
"How cold" he smiled "you need my help to get out of here you know, or you'll be stuck" he grinned.
She glared at him. "Sadly, I do, and I still have a bone to pick with that white haired"
"I'll send you to her then"
—-
"Another?" A long haired man with multi-coloured hair, black and white, spoke.
"Please let the rocks down Isha" Xiang asked politely.
—---
"Fine, get me out of here" Nerina sighed, holding his hand.
"Here goes nothing." Keith placed one hand below him before a gush of wind followed.
Keith brought them both above the rocks, he looked down trying to find where Kento was.
"She has another student?" Nami said angrily.
"Oh but I did," Sabina laughed, trailing behind Nami as she tried to get the students to safety.
"Urgh… my head" Kento wobbled.
"I'm coming" Keith reassured
Nerina was quiet for a while, her eyes scanned the ground impatiently.
"Tsk… Where is she?"
"She can only control one person at a time, how about instead of her, we attack Sabina, we can't hurt any of the students." Xiang warned.
"Of course," Ishaan nodded.
They both redirected their attacks towards Sabina, driven with a corner, Sabina called on her puppets.
"You two! Here now!" Sabina yelled
"Sorry, comrade, I'll save you later" Keith glanced at Kento before moving to her side.
Keith stood slightly in front of Nerina.
"Too noisy" Keith looked around. "Should we end this?"
"I guess it is, how can we stop it?" Nerina looked at Thalia.
Keith quickly got rid of his wind spell
"We should try a synchronised attack" Keith jumped.
"Synchronised attack? Really? We barely know each other's magic" she rolled her eyes.
"So? We could try, come on" Keith held out his hand
"so annoying... " she looked around
"Fine" she held his hand.
"I can't control her, he's blocking me slightly." Xiang paused.
"it's not good, they're planning a synchronised attack" Ishaan yelled.
"Wind and water magic: Scarlet despair. "they both chanted as Keith released spades made from wind.
"We need to hurry!" Ishaan tried to use his rocks without hurting them.
Nerina quickly followed by stopping Xiang's legs.
"Hurt me and they'll pay." Sabina brought both Nami, Thalia and Ravi in front of her. "can't hurt me now"
Ishaan and Xiang paused.
"I can't move my legs" Xiang said, "this must be Nerina's doing… I can move my hands and my upper body"
"Blood magic?" Ishaan whispered.
"I can still help them… I need to see her blood flow, to attack" Xiang thought.
"Xiang, we have no time"
"Xiang! Isaan! Just hit me, I can just find the healers." Nami spoke.
" I'm not doing that." Xiang spoke quietly.
"Just do it!!" Nami screamed.
"I am losing my vision!!!" Kento yelled.
"This is getting even harder…" Xiang muttered.
"The child with plant magic, I want you to use a plant to separate all of you, your friend and Nami from Sabina" Ishaan spoke before creating a rock towards the sky.
"Me? Um, okay sir…" Ravi casted his sunflower spell.
"Great" Ishaan looked at Sabina. "Let's end this already.
"Not today" Sabina opened a shadow, before entering it.
"How can someone be so slippery?" Nami whined.
Sabina appeared behind Keith and Nerina suddenly, before pulling them into the shadow.
"I'll be back, my precious locator." Sabina's voice echoed.
Sabine took this opportunity to escape.
"We weren't able to do it in time!" Ishaan gritted.
