Kirana and Sage were meditating in the dojo on the bamboo floor.
"What troubles you so, my daughter?" Sage asked.
"Mother, we've always managed to fight back and overcome defeat." Kirana said. "But this is different. We've got one chance to save the Earth. If we don't get the second talisman of the Cosmo Escalation, we've lost everything and I can't let that happen or it'll all be on me."
"You must not give in to despair, Kirana." Sage said calmly. "You all must remain diligent to save the Earth."
"But what if we can't?" Kirana asked sadly.
"You must hold on to hope and lead by example." Sage said wisely. "You all have become true worthy heroes. And no matter what may come, you have all made me very proud."
"Hai, mother." Kirana said with a smile.
Sage smiled back as she was pixeled into nothingness, causing the dojo to change into a holographic training room. Kirana looked up at the room and sighed heavily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the spell casting room, Ezra was trying a new spell compound but it turned to black goo. Ezra groaned and sat at his desk. He looked at the old picture of his father next to him.
"Dad, what do I do?" Ezra sighed. "How can I be good with magic and space if you've already achieved it? I'm just stuck. Sometimes, I wish you were here and I wish I could've spent more time with you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the ship's main room, three mages, a robot, and two aliens were minding their own business. Ariana sat in her station to check on the star maps with Camilla standing next to her with crossed arms. Talia sat in her station with boredom while Norbit stands next to her. Valina was maintaining the ship's control with Rosetta standing by her. The Levians were examining the ship's functions on the screen. And Domino was gazing at the stars from the large view screen, but she looked around the room to notice that Kirana and Ezra aren't with the crew.
"Hey, where's Kirana and Ezra?" Domino asked.
"Kirana's in the holo-room. She's been talking to the simulator...again. And Ezra's...in the spell casting room trying to learn another spell from his father's spell books." Ariana replied.
"I think it's not healthy for Kirana talking to a hologram of Sage all the time." Camilla said.
"Look, we miss her too, but Kirana just needs her more than the rest of us right now." Talia said softly. "She'll be okay."
"Even though the simulator contains only the memories of the real Sage, the psychic reading will allow her to at least talk to her." Valina explained.
"But it's not the same thing, Valina." Camilla said firmly.
Suddenly, the door went open automatically and Kirana came in the main control room with a calm look on her face. She walked past Domino and Camilla without even noticing their worried looks, but she noticed that no one has said one word when she walked in the room. Norbit was the first one to break the silence.
"Kirana, we are still waiting on your brother." Norbit informed.
"It's heartbreaking to see him like this. I miss my husband too but I understand that it's his choice to learn the spells." Rosetta said.
Ezra walked in with a calm face.
"Kirana, Ezra, you're just in time." Valina said with a smile.
"For what?" Ezra asked.
"My friends, welcome to the planet Gaean!" Valina announced.
Everyone looked at the view screen and saw a large spherical planet straight ahead. The planet itself was midnight blue with black star-like dots scattered around with amazed eyes. But only Ariana and Talia's eyes were widened wide open in astonishment.
"Incredible." Domino said in awe.
"According to the database, Gaean was a home for vast omnipotent beings." Valina clarified. "The second talisman of the Cosmo Escalation will lie within that planet."
"So, let's do this." Kirana said to the Levians.
The Levians understood and typed their hands on the touchscreen to set the starship down on a nearby planet.
Unknown to everyone on the Nexus, a red spherical ship caught up to the ship from behind.
"So, this is the ship my comrades told me about." A female alien spoke. "They have defeated my teammates, but now they will deal with the leader. I'd better call a friend for backup."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the Nexus passed through the planet's atmosphere, the K-5, Norbit, and Domino looked at the view window to see modern steam-punkish landmass down below. They saw numerous spherical towering buildings with static force-fields that contained special portals that allowed its inhabitants to enter and exit.
"Here we are." Valina said. "Gaean is the home of the Sotorans, who have been entrusted to protect the second Cosmo Escalation talisman."
"Wow! It's like a stream punk world!" Ariana exclaimed with a huge smile.
"And it looks like we got company." Domino said, pointing her finger upward at the view screen.
Everyone looked at the view screen and saw two female humanoid aliens coming in their way. They both have slender blue translucent ghostly bodies constructed with pure energy. They have four sharp fingers on each hand and long flowing bright bluish green hair tendrils. They wore a black armored one-piece swimsuit-like dress. The Sotorans phased through the ship's main room and observed the crew cautiously.
"Greetings! This is the sigil of the Utrom!" Valina said, holding a small metallic sphere with a symbol of the Utroms to the Sotorans.
The female Sotorans widened their eyes in surprise and bowed with respect to the visitors that carried the Utrom symbol, escorting the crew to the castle to meet their leader. The Xerosic landed on the landmass ground and the crew followed the Sotorans to the dark spacial castle at the center of the spherical towering buildings that resembled as a brooding, crown-shaped fortress. The K-5, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta walked into the throne room to see a male Sotoran king sitting on his throne seat. He has a tall, lithe body with silver-golden yellow eyes, dull pale-gray skin, and glossy black hair that is styled to come out as slick spikes from the back of his head. He wore a long, black robe with a V-neck line that obscured his entire body like a ghostly shadow.
"Welcome to Gaean, outworlders." The Sotoran King greeted with a kind, friendly smile. "I'm King Avian, Ruler of the Sotorans."
"Greetings, King Avian." Kirana said. She bowed at the king's presence as her siblings, her robot friend, and her alien friends did the same. "My name is Kirana and these are my companions."
"Hello." Talia said with a sweet smile.
"We come bearing the sigil of the Utrom!" Valina said, holding a small metallic sphere in her hands. "We seek the talisman of the Cosmo Escalation weapon that you have in your possession."
"You all may rise." King Avian said.
"Thank you, your Majesty." Domino said as she and her friends rose from the ground.
"Rosetta, you've come to aid at last." King Avian said as he saw Rosetta.
"I'm sorry it took so long." Rosetta said, sheepishly. "But one of these mages is my son and he has my husband's magic."
"Really?" King Avian asked. "Have the young lad step forward."
Ezra did as the king requested and looked up at the king.
"Young boy, you have a worthy gift." King Avian said. "Why have you and your friends come here?"
"Well, even though we're young, we came here for a mission our planet is depending on." Ezra replied. "We found this place with help from the Utrom Hope."
"The Utrom entrusted the talisman to me, so that the wrong hands will never claim it. But if you are truly worthy, which one of you is leader?" King Avian wondered.
Kirana stepped forward from the team next to Ezra with a determined look on her face.
"And how are you worthy, child?" King Avian questioned.
"Because my team and I have fought huge battles, saved whole planets, and on top of everything else, we saw the destruction of our world." Kirana explained. "We've been given a second chance to save Earth and we're gonna use the Cosmo Escalation to help our planet for good."
"Hmm, indeed." King Avian said. "But if you really desire the talisman, you must face the challenge to receive it. You all must work together to get it. But if you fail the task, then you won't be worthy enough to take it freely."
"We accept the challenge." Kirana said boldly. She turned around to face her team. "Let's do this!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The K-5, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta had arrived their way to the second talisman's location at the vast alien temple. The temple itself looked like a huge pyramid surrounded by gigantic thorn vines. Six mages, one robot, and two aliens approached inside the temple as they made it inside quietly and walked into the dark hallway until they arrived in a huge room that has large vines and many statues scattered around with a pool of warm water flowing in the background. The team stood around, trying to figure out what to do next. But Kirana looked at the dark hallway carefully with narrow eyes and Domino seemed to notice it.
"Kirana, what's wrong?" Domino asked.
"I don't know." Kirana replied firmly. "But I'm starting to get the feeling that someone is following us."
"What makes you think that?" Domino asked again.
To answer Domino question, a sudden bolt of red energy came charging towards Kirana and Domino from the dark hallway. Kirana's eyes widened wide and she quickly moved Domino out of the way, causing the attack to hit the statue into bits. Everyone took a quick look at the dark hallway and watched a squad of robotic dragons walked forward with a female alien stepping out of the dark. The female alien has a slender, athletic build and a curvaceous body. She has pure red skin, cyan shoulder-length hair tied off into two loose ponytails, and piercing purple eyes. She wore a black-collared, red bodysuit with a black utility belt marking the red star logo goes around her waist. Also, she has black combat boots and black fingerless gloves.
"So, you must be the goody two shoes that my team had failed to eliminate." The female alien greeted with a sinister laugh. "It's nice to meet you all. I'm Scarlet, the leader of the Witches Six. And I will be the one to end your lives and collect those two talismans with me!"
"So, this is their leader." Ezra said, slowly. "Fantastic."
"You've got bravery, kid." Scarlet grinned. "But you're a fool, like your father was."
Ezra widened his eyes in shock, but quickly glared in fury at Scarlet for desecrating his father's life.
The heroes and heroines braced themselves for battle as Scarlet snapped her fingers and the dragon robots shot a spreadshot of fireballs at them from their mouths. The K-5, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta moved out of the way before huddling back together. The heroes and heroines charged forward to give a full-on attack. Kirana dashed forward to release fast blasts of blue psychic energy to destroy toward the dragon robots. Talia created a small bolt made of orange psychic energy appeared above her palm and flung out her hand to send it flying at the dragon robots at her sight. Ariana spun around and sent clover-shaped blasts of purple psychic energy at the dragon robots in her way. Camilla summoned a red psychic energized arrow between her hands and then shot it toward the incoming dragon robots. Ezra fired teal energy balls from his hands and boomeranged them to hit incoming dragon robots in different areas. Norbit blasted his missiles to hit a dragon robot that made it explode in the second the missile hit it. Domino collected energy in her right index finger and released it in the form of a pale blue energy beam that split into multiple beams to shoot forward toward the dragon robots. Rosetta threw potion bombs at the dragon robots' mouths to knock out their teeth.
Unfortunately for the heroes and heroines, more robotic dragons stood around their master for any further instruction. Valina quickly created a light blue energy ball between her hands and tossed it in the air, creating the fireworks to land around Scarlett and the dragon robots. Scarlett started to dodge them while every robotic dragon got blown up one by one.
"Quickly, run, follow me!" Valina called out.
Kirana, Camilla, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Norbit, Domino, and Rosetta quickly followed Valina down into the giant skull wall tunnel. They rushed through the tunnel with Valina's left fist to light the others into the darkness as they are doing their best to escape the female witch alien chasing after them. Scarlett and two last robotic dragons headed to the center tunnel in hopes to get to the heroines. The girls continued to rush through the tunnel, knowing that Scarlet and her robots are still behind them to try gain up to them fast.
Then, the heroes and heroines rushed into a cave and found a little river that has a fallen log over it.
"It's a drawbridge!" Domino said.
"Oh great! What now?" Talia exclaimed.
"We have to keep going!" Valina exclaimed.
"How?!" Rosetta asked.
"Hey, a log!" Ezra said as he pointed to a huge and long log.
"It is long enough to cross." Norbit said after he looked at it.
Camilla turned around and saw Scarlet gaining onto the others with her robots fast.
"She's coming!" Camilla screamed.
"Then, let's move!" Kirana exclaimed.
The heroes and heroines began making their way across the log, trying their best to be careful and not falling into the river. Kirana, Talia, Domino, Norbit, Camilla, Rosetta, and Valina made it across the log as they arrived at the other side. They looked up to see Scarlet and her robots arriving at the opening almost upon them.
"She's heading this way!" Domino exclaimed in alarm.
Ariana made it across, but Ezra was the last one to get across the log bridge with his very best. The others had to urge the teal mage to keep moving.
"Hurry, Ezra!" Domino exclaimed.
"Come on, Ezra! Put your back into it!" Talia exclaimed in concern.
"Let's go, come on!" Valina exclaimed in worry.
Suddenly, Ezra stopped in the middle of the log bridge as if he had an idea on his mind.
"Ezra, what are you doing?" Kirana asked in alarm. "Come on!"
"Hang on! I got an idea!" Ezra exclaimed with a smirk. "A goo trap compound!"
"A goo trap compound? Are you crazy?" Kirana and Camilla yelled in disbelief.
"But it is brilliant." Ariana said, honestly.
Ezra grinned as he summoned his goo trap compound in a jar and poured it at the log from behind, creating a black goo to appear right onto the bridge as he continued to move straight across. The others cheered him on, encouraging the teal mage ninja to move on.
Soon, Scarlet arrived with her dragon robots emitting light energy from their mouths.
"Hey, ladies! We have some unfinished business to take care of!" Scarlet smiled sinisterly.
Once Ezra made it across the log bridge, the team made a run for it. Scarlet snapped her fingers and her robotic dragons fired off light blue energy lasers at the heroes and heroines. But each laser missed the six mages, one robot, and two aliens. Domino protected the group with a pale blue energy force field, allowing the heroes and heroines to escape from the witch alien and her robots once again.
The K-5, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta had ended up in another cave as they stopped to get some deep breaths and knew that they won't be safe for long as long as Ezra's compound would be able to slow them down.
"Man, that was close." Talia said.
Everyone recovered their strengths and looked around the area. The place was small with ancient, hieroglyphic writing on the floor shaped like a circle. There was also a cave in front of us. The heroes and heroines walked towards the circle.
"We made it to the final trial." Valina said as she looked down at the circle.
"What does it say?" Ariana asked.
"Defeat the Vulpin. Don't lose." Valina read.
"Wait, what?" Talia said shockingly.
Suddenly, the heroes and heroines heard a noise coming from the cave and saw a giant black dog-like alien creature came out with a somewhat apelike posture. He has no eyes, ears, nose, or tail as if he relied on his sense of smell and hearing. He has three gill-like nostrils located on each side of his neck. His teeth are very defined and stick out of his mouth. He released a fearsome roar at the heroes and heroines.
"We're supposed to fight that?" Kirana said.
"Oh, I'll gladly take him on." Camilla agreed as she cracked her knuckles in preparation.
"What? You against that thing? But he has twice the strength than you!" Domino said.
"I've taken a lot of big, tough guys back on Earth." Camilla scoffed. "So, this is nothing. But don't worry, I can definitely take him."
"Well, good luck." Talia cheered.
"Be careful." Ezra added.
Camilla walked up to the Vulpin as they both got ready for her match.
"Alright, big boy. Bring it on." Camilla said with a grin.
Vulpin growled at Camilla as he and the red mage got into a fighting stance. Camilla slowly warmed up red psychic energy from her left clenched fist and charged forward to punch the creature right in the kisser that sent him tumbling. The creature got back up and gave the red mage a furious growl. Camilla unloaded a machine-gun barrage of red psychic energy bolts, but Vulpin ran through them without getting damage and grabbed Camilla by the arms.
"Camilla!" Ezra cried.
Camilla was struggling to break free and Vulpin threw her to the wall. Ariana, Kirana, Talia, Ezra, Norbit, Valina, Rosetta, and Domino gasped at that sight. But luckily, Camilla got back up and dashed forward to unleash a series of rapid red psychic energized punches to the fierce creature. Vulpin got Camilla by the throat and threw a punch that propelled her far across the floor before launching into a leap that crushed the red mage kunoichi on the gut.
"Oh no! She's not gonna make it!" Valina said.
"Cam!" Ezra cried.
"Wait, look." Domino pointed out.
Surprisingly, Camilla lifted Vulpin with her great strength and threw him away from her to the ground.
"You're good, big boy. But this is a fight you cannot win." Camilla said with a small smile.
Vulpin growled at Camilla again and bounced off a far wall to deliver a series of high-speed blows at her, but Camilla dodged each blow in a rapid speed and charged her psychic energy to perform a powerful one-inch punch that knocked the creature away. Vulpin fell on his stomach and groaned in defeat, making Camilla the winner of the match. The others cheered on Camilla's victory.
"Wow, Camilla! That was amazing!" Domino said.
"Yeah, that was incredible!" Valina said.
"It was no trouble." Camilla grinned.
"Uh, guys. He's getting up again." Talia said in alarm.
Kirana, Ariana, Camilla, Talia, Ezra, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta looked to see Vulpin getting back up once again. But this time, he didn't attack. He lifted his finger and pointed to the pathway as if he wanted them to proceed.
"What's he doing?" Ezra asked.
"I think he wants us to go in." Ariana said.
"He is a good beast." Norbit said.
"Let's move." Kirana said.
Kirana ran through the dark pathway. Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta followed. Before Camilla can follow them, Vulpin moved to her face and gave her a big lick as if he likes her. Camilla giggled with a smile and winked at the creature before following after her three sisters, her brother, one robot, and two aliens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, Scarlet and her robots are trying to get across the log bridge as they were unaware of the slime on it. They can't let the heroes and heroines get away. They began crossing the log with slow balance, heading to the same spot where Ezra had placed his goo compound on earlier.
Suddenly, Scarlett's legs got stuck on the goo and was unable to move on.
"Help me!" Scarlet commanded her robots.
The two robotic dragons walked onto the bridge to help their master, but Ezra's goo compound got them stuck as well that made Scarlet groan in frustration. As Scarlet and her robots are now trapped on the log, her eyes caught the water raising very fast in her direction and screamed frantically as the huge wave of water splashed onto her and her robots.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The K-5 finally made it into a room where they saw the second talisman glowing throughout the center of the room. The talisman looked like a hand mirror. The mirror itself has a golden handle and frame with the back colored deep aqua green.
"Finally. The second talisman." Kirana said.
"The Wisdom Mirror." Valina said.
"Let's grab and head back to the kingdom pronto." Domino said as she and the others began walking towards the talisman.
"Not so fast." A familiar voice said.
Everyone stopped walking for a minute and saw the soaking wet Scarlet standing behind them at the cave opening, making them gasp in shock.
"I suggest you ladies get out of my way!" Scarlet warned. "This talisman is mine."
Scarlet warmed up a red energy bolt in her hands, but a sudden solid invisible force field trapped the red witch alien that caught her attention surprisingly. Kirana, Camilla, Ariana, Talia, Ezra, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta turned to look toward the source of that force field. The Sotorans had arrived to subdue and arrest Scarlet.
"The Sotorans? But how?" Domino asked in confusion.
"After being chased by Scarlet, I was able to send out a distress call with my cosmic powers." Valina explained. "I knew that the honorable Sotorans would come to our aid."
Kirana looked back at the mirror and managed to grab the talisman before following after the others to leave the temple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As the team was walking back to the kingdom, Ezra noticed that Kirana was acting strange. He walked next to Kirana as she held onto the mirror in her grasp.
"Hey, K." Ezra said.
"Hey, Ezra." Kirana replied back.
"You okay?" Ezra asked. "Because I can tell something's on your mind."
"It's nothing." Kirana answered. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, not to be a stick in the mud, but you've been acting strange ever since we left Earth." Ezra admitted. "I'm just worried about you."
"It's just...I'm worried about our home and if the Witches Six are gonna keep interfering with our mission." Kirana sighed.
"That's just what they want from you." Ezra said. "You can't let them see your fear."
"But what if I can't be strong enough one day?" Kirana frowned.
"I know that is scary to think about." Ezra said. "But people can be afraid to fail for other reasons." The teal mage ninja sighed before he inhaled sharply to admit the truth with a frown. "In my nightmares, I see different aliens closing in on the Nexus. They're furious at us and everyone on the ship is lost. And you know what the weird part is? What I'm most afraid of is losing myself and at my connection to my father forever."
"I had no idea." Kirana said softly as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"I guess we both have trouble talking about what scares us." Ezra said.
Kirana and Ezra smiled at each other with warm smiles and hugged.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in the kingdom, everyone went back into the throne room to confront the king.
"A witch fatale will not be allowed to desecrate my home planet! Scarlet, you will pay for your obsession on stealing the talisman that I was guarding from greed invaders!" King Avian yelled. His eyes moved to the K-5, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta. "You have all passed. The talisman is now yours."
"Thank you, your Majesty." Kirana said with a smile.
"You all are idiots!" Scarlet shouted. "Did you really think I would surrender to the likes of you? You brought reinforcements, so I've brought mine."
"I detect aliens behind that door." Norbit said as he pointed to the door.
The door to the throne room blew up into pieces and the rest of the Witches Six came in with smirks on their faces.
"Hiya!" Chiffon greeted in a cutesy manner.
"Miss us?" Rose asked, cracking her knuckles in preparation.
"Oh, no. The Witches Six." Ariana exclaimed.
Scarlet broke free from the clutches of the Sotorans and leaped high into the air to land in front of her team.
"Looks like we gave you all a welcoming committee." Scarlet said. "Now hand over the talisman or you'll face the fury of the Witches Six!"
"You will have to face me first, witch!" King Avian yelled.
"You're gonna have to go through us too!" Kirana shouted to Scarlet.
"Have it your way! Witches Six, attack!" Scarlet ordered her team.
"Take 'em down!" Kirana ordered her team.
"Sotorans, to battle!" King Avian ordered his Sotoran warriors.
With that, the Witches Six began to charge after the K-5 and the Sotorans. Six mages, one robot, and two aliens split away from each witch alien that was coming in their way as they began to dodge their attacks in quick speed.
Rose began to shoot many pink energy balls towards Camilla, who had managed to dodge the energy balls coming in her way. Camilla jumped into the air and thrusted herself forward to deliver a flying red psychic energized kick that hit the pink witch alien's face, causing Rose to drop on her knee and rubbed her face in pain. Rose quickly came back up and shot out many pink energy tacks at the red mage kunoichi, who blocked the attack with her red psychic energy shield. Camilla released a red psychic energy beam from her hands at the pink witch alien, sending her flying to the wall and dropped hard to the kingdom floor unconsciously. Chiffon began to spin herself around rapidly and shot multiple fast orange energy balls flying from her body towards Talia, who ducked out of the way from each energy ball and moved forward to hit Chiffon right in the face with an orange psychic energized punch that send the orange witch alien flying away from her. Chiffon hissed in anger and fired several orange star-shaped energy orbs at the orange mage kunoichi, who dodged them in fast speed and released a bright orange psychic energy from her body to hit the orange witch alien that sent Chiffon flying into an unconscious Rose. Aqua shot out large balls of blue energy at Ariana, who swiftly dodged all of them and jumped high over her to release two small purple psychic energy ball that exploded the light blue witch alien on impact. Aqua glared and fired multiple light blue energy blasts towards the purple mage kunoichi. Ariana quickly gathered psychic energy that formed into an orb of purple psychic energy between her hands and fired it at Aqua, who got hit by the wall and dropped down to the ground onto two unconscious witch aliens. Jade jumped high in the air and produced her green energy combat-like whips down at Domino, who went out flying around while trying to avoid the lashing whips as quick as possible. Domino immediately surrounded herself in pale blue energy and moved quick in a direction at the green witch alien, who went flying to her three other unconscious witch aliens. Azura began firing many blue energy bolts down at Valina in an accurate speed, but the cosmic alien performed a few agile flips to avoid the bolts and jumped into the air to fire cosmic energy blasts in a 360-degree fashion that knocked the blue witch alien to the other aliens. The five Sotoran warriors formed invisible force fields to trap the five unconscious witch aliens after their defeat against six mages, one robot, and two aliens.
Scarlet focused her attention to King Avian as she shot out giant fireballs from her palm at him. King Avian dodged them in a flash and channeled her invisible energies into the ground to release a series of powerful pale grey energy columns that knocked the red witch alien away from him with great force. Scarlet glared angrily at the Sotoran king and shot a powerful wave of fire that had snaked around Avian, trapping him in the powerful vortex with no chance of escaping. Avian tried to release invisible energy onto the fire, hoping that it would get rid of the flames. But it didn't work. Ezra summoned a teal energy rope and used it to hold onto Scarlet, causing her to face him angrily.
"Did you really think that you can defeat me that easily?" Scarlet said. "I won't be defeated by you! I am far superior than all of your Sotorans and your father. You're finished!"
Scarlet threw an energy ball at Ezra, that knocked him out cold. Before Scarlet could finish the teal mage ninja off, Kirana released a blue crescent-like blade of psychic energy from her palms at the red witch alien. Scarlet got hit by that attack and sent flying to the wall hard before becoming trapped in the force field by the Sotoran warriors. Kirana took out the hand mirror and felt the power erupting from it as they clung into the talisman. Avian watched in awe as Kirana appeared before them with the glowing mirror. Kirana jumped high in the air and held onto the mirror to send a beam of light from its surface toward the fire, putting out the flames and saving Avian's life at the same time. Ezra groaned as he woke up and Kirana helped him up.
"Are you hurt, Ezra?" Kirana asked.
"No, I'm okay." Ezra replied before he quickly hugged Kirana. "Thank you, Kirana."
Kirana smiled warmly and hugged her brother back.
"Are you alright, your highness?" Ezra asked after he and Kirana separated from the hug.
"I'm fine, thanks to you and your sister." Avian replied.
Avian snapped his fingers and Vulpin came in through the throne room to grab the force field that contained the defeated Witches Six in his hands. He went over to help Camilla from the floor with one leg and Camilla petted him on the head, causing him to give a huge lick on the giggling red mage's cheek again and left out of the throne room.
"Good boy." Camilla muttered with a grin.
"You all fought to protect our kingdom. For that you have my gratitude, including my people." Avian said to the heroines with a proud smile. His eyes moved to Kirana. "Kirana, your superior bravery was able to activate the talisman. The Utrom entrusted us with its safety and now I entrust it to you. Be sure to use to save my beloved planet." His eyes moved to Ezra. "Ezra, before you go, I would like to give you a gift that belonged to your father and there is a memory about him on the mirror."
Ezra widened his eyes in surprise and nodded his head. Avian walked to a gold sphere attached to the wall and pulled it out to reveal the gold sphere to be a bottom of an ancient sword with his father's symbol engraved at the sphere.
"This sword belonged to your father when he helped us in wars to protect our people." Avian explained. "Now it belongs to you. Dastren would want you to have it."
"Wow." Ezra breathed.
Kirana held out the mirror in front of Ezra and he touched it to have a flashback play in his head.
Flashback
Avian walked up a grassy hill and saw the war has ended. Dastren walked up to Avian and looked at the damage.
"I've used a healing spell on your soldiers." Dastren informed. "They will be alright."
"I appreciate your help, Dastren." Avian said, gratefully. "But this rampage is not over until they find your friend."
"She will be alright." Dastren assured. "I know that she can escape from anything the Triceratons blow at her."
"But for now, you got a kid to protect." Avian said. "I hope that it's a boy."
Dastren and Avian laughed.
Flashback ends.
Ezra moved away from the mirror and became sad for a second, but nodded as he knew that he had to keep going. His sisters walked over to him and group hugged.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Kirana smiled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The K-5, Norbit, Domino, Valina, and Rosetta had waved King Avian and the Sotorans good-bye as the Nexus departed the planet to head back in space.
"My dad said that one of his friends was hunted by the Triceratons." Ezra said. "I wonder who that is."
"I guess you'll find out when we get that last talisman." Rosetta encouraged.
"Two talismans down. One to go!" Talia cheered.
"So, can you really combine them to save any planet, Valina?" Domino asked.
"That's the plan." Valina said. "I just need to figure out how to do the combination."
"I really am gonna miss planet Gaean." Ariana said. "Hope we get a vacation there after the Earth is saved."
"Well, I am gonna miss the Vulpin, but I will not miss the Witches Scums. That's for sure." Camilla said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the planet Gaean, Vulpin was quietly slumbering on the ground with the six force fields hanging above him. He heard a faint sound of stomping that made him look up to see Aqua's robotic comrades coming into the cave. Before Vulpin could attack at full force, the Nanobots launched dozens of light blue energy lasers into the dog-like alien creature. One of the Nanobots shot a light blue energy blast at the force fields, causing them to disintegrate into nothingness and the Witches Six came tumbling down to the ground. The weakened Vulpin slowly glared up to see the Witches Six taking their leave with the Nanobots following behind before collapsing his head unconsciously to the floor.
"Excellent, Aqua." Scarlet said with a sly grin on her face. "And now we have a bone to pick with those pests."
Chiffon, Jade, Aqua, Azura, and Rosa giggled victoriously as they knew that they must catch up the K-5 to contain the three talismans.
