In the fortress, Hazel and Kylock stood in front of the big screen while the quartet rested around the table. Their hairs had changed to the normal state. They had been drained of energy.
Hazel: With the test I did on you guys that thing didn't consume your energy It drained to only 70 percent of it, and then 30 percent is what is keeping you right now, so technically, you lost your powers
Iriel: What?
Ryan: Then what do we do if he comes back? you heard what he said.
Hazel: Yes, I did my research on him and on the orb, but I didn't find anything.
Ely: That's really bad.
Kylock: When we were complete, we had no chance against them. Now we are four men down
Alicia: We are totally wrecked.
Ryan: (nodding) So technically, right now, there is no solution to this.
Hazel: We just have to wait, search, and hope that there is a solution to this. You guys can just relax and so…
Alicia: So I thought we were to brainstorm this. Like, we're supposed to,
Hazel : Unfortunately in Marthadon using your brains and it drains a lot of energy from anyone.
Ely: Wow.
Hazel: You can just go and don't do nothing that drains energy.
Iriel: That is practically nothing.
Hazel: Then do nothing.
Kylock: Okay, we will give you a call when we find something.

In the class, the quartet 8sat around Alicia's table, with their pens kissing their books silently. Mr. Tony's eyes were on the book.
Mr. Tony: I want that book submitted on my table before recess period.
[They all understood the goal and responded.]
[They nodded.]
Alicia sat there, bored, as the class continued.
[She stopped writing abruptly.]
Alicia: Guys, I can't stop thinking about this.
Ely: Why, Mr. Tony?
Alicia:No, not Mr. Tony. Our powers—we got them a month ago, and yesterday we lost them. We got it, didn't you think it somehow suspicious?
Ryan: Yeah, everything that happened yesterday was quite questionable.
Suddenly, a guy came in from God knows where stealing our energy.
Alicia: It all happened just like that?
Ely: (trying to cool the Holmes tension)The thing is, whatever happened to us, our powers may be gone. We should just relax and hope that the guys find a solution, before he comes back for round two
Ryan:What about if he does
Ely: Let's just hope he doesn't...
[His phone suddenly beeped.]
He checked it. It was a message from his uncle.
Ryan: I gotta go
Iriel:now
[He read the message.]
Ryan: there is this new neighbor who requests our help with his stuff
Alicia: I thought you guys were having a special a training with Coach.
Ryan: Ely. (winking at him)
Ely: I got you back,
Ryan: I gotta go. (He packed his backpack and took off.)
Iriel: Okay, what's going on? A little bit lost.
Alicia: okay what's happening (feeling a bit lost)
Ely: Ely's theory for missing training. (He smirked.)
Ryan stopped at the entrance of Alfred's house. As he got to the corridor, before he could press the bell, it suddenly opened.
Alfred's face appeared with a smile.
Alfred: your uncle said you would be coming.
Ryan: Yeah, he told me...
Alfred: Come on.
He ushered him inside as he continued speaking.
The area was a small house, furnished traditionally. There were no pictures, only a few paintings on the shelf. The house was sparse, but it was very tidy.
Alfred: I have to tell you something. The house has been empty for a very long time.
Ryan was curious,h Alfred took him upstairs.He looked around and noticed that the place was made up of books scattered on the ground and an old shelf, which contained nothing
Ryan: So, I will like to help with these books. I had to...
Alfred: thanks friend (he dashed down the stairs,
Ryan bent down to start picking up the books.
Ryan: (dusting it) Apocalypse ,I'm sure this is not...
Suddenly, there was a loud rumble. A strong breeze blew through the house, shaking the foundation. The entire house trembled for a moment, and then everything stopped.
Ryan looked up as the ceiling of the house shook about. Alfred was just about to...get hit by it , that was death of his calculations were right
Ryan: No.
He panicked,suddenly he felt a surge of power. As if his powers were back. He leaped off the stairs as
His body started glowing, and blue flames surrounded him. As his powers surged, he moved with super speed. In milliseconds he saved his life
The ceiling collapsed onto the hard ground of the house. As this happened, a bright yellow crystal rolled out, and Ryan's blue flames were drawn toward it, as though they were being pulled into the crystal, as if it collected what it gave.
Ryan moved closer to it and picked it up, carefully taking hold of it, he dropped carefully in it case and the glow stopped,
Alfred: You are really a good athlete to have jumped that high. (looking at the staircase, with a smirk on his face
Ryan: (He sparked as if he remembered something. )I have to…"
Alfred: "Now." (Surprised.)
Ryan:yeah, there is this…"
Alfred: "No problem lad, you can go."
"Thanks sir. I'll be here some other time."
He fled away, leaving a little distance between him and Mr Alfred's house.
He tapped the key, Hazel's face appeared on a projected screen.
Ryan:"I gotta tell you guys something."
Hazel: what?
Ryan: I think have seen something, that could bring our Powers back
Hazel: "Am sending the portal?"
