Dakota saw Ikaria was sitting on the couch. Dakota was powered up, she was too angry with Ikaria. In the rage, she blasted a firepower ball towards Ikaria. Ikaria with ease stood up and stretched her hand towards the power ball. Then everyone saw what they never imagined, Ikaria without even was moving stopped and absorbed the firepower ball.
"That's impossible," Laura said, getting shocked.
"Even with my help, she can't do that," Zale said.
"Sophie save your ass," Dakota said.
Sophie covered herself behind a small length wall. Dakota ultimate her powers to the extent and walked towards Ikaria, accompanied by Laura and Zale. Dakota grabbed Ikaria's neck and tried to choke her to death but Ikaria easily got Dakota's hands out of her neck.
"Why don't we take this to next level," Ikaria said, holding Dakota's hand.
In front of Sophie's eyes, they all vanished. Sophie stood up and glanced at the empty place. She rushed to Master Wayne.
"Master..." Sophie said, catching her breath.
"What happened, Sophie?" Master Wayne asked, getting near her.
"Xion..." Sophie speaks.
Ikaria with the others stood on an invisible floor, it was dark but they were visible to each other.
"We know...what you did...I want that pendant" Dakota said, pointing at the pendant.
"You figured it out...but first try to catch me," Ikaria said, smirked.
Ikaria waved her glowed hands in the air and a giant wave of water appeared.
"Watch out," Dakota shouted.
Laura saved herself and Zale by was making a sphere around her made of wind lines. Dakota stretched her hands and a wave of hot lava turned Ikaria's water wave into a stone. Zale's eyes glowed with that he focused on Dakota and raised her powers to a greater extent. Laura stretched both hands, from her hands many white color tentacles started to come out. Laura with the help of tentacles grabbed Ikaria's both hands and her mouth.
Dakota approached near Ikaria and was moved her hand for the pendant but Ikaria got herself released out of Laura's tentacles. Laura fell to the ground far, from she was standing. Ikaria with a lot of strength pushed Dakota up in the air that she fell almost half a mile from Ikaria. Zale completely drained himself soon he became unconscious and fell to the ground. Fortunately, out of nowhere, Master Wayne got there.
"Ikaria," Master Wayne shouted, clenching his fist and jaw, was narrowing his eyes.
"Master," Ikaria murmured.
Ikaria tried to run but Master Wayne with his immediate action held her. Master got her closer to him and with ease snatched the pendant from her neck. Ikaria looked at him with anger and felt disgusted. Ikaria felt suffocated. Master Wayne put his hand on Ikaria's head. Ikaria screamed, loudly. They landed in the oath room.
"Guys," Sophie said, seeing them was appearing from the sky.
She shook Dakota and checked Laura. They both looked fine but felt a little tired. Zale wasn't answering while Sophie was trying to wake him up. Laura and Dakota dragged themselves near Zale.
"Master, Zale isn't responding," Sophie said, sitting near him with her hands on him.
Master Wayne took his hand off from Ikaria, she dropped to the ground. Master Wayne sat near Zale, opened his closed eyes.
"He drained himself," Master Wayne said, noticing the color of his origin was faded. He stood up and walked towards the plant in front of him. He plucked its leaves and again went near to Zale. He sat, was holding the leaf and covered in his both hands.
He hummed and held his hand on top of Zale's mouth. After a second, was glowing thicker liquid started to drop out from Master's palms. It was green in color like the leaves. Zale soon became conscious when that liquid touches his lips, he opened his eyes.
"What you did to me?" Ikaria said, standing up, was examining herself.
Master Wayne and Sophie helped Zale to stand up. They all turned around towards Ikaria.
"I took your powers," Master Wayne said.
Everyone looked at him with shocking expressions. The room where they were fighting was made up of Ikaria's imagination and when Master Wayne took her power they automatically landed in the real world.
"How dare you?" Ikaria cursed, getting angry, her skin got tightened as she spoke in rage.
"You asked for it," Master Wayne said, calmly.
"I will make you all pay for this," Ikaria said, glaring at everyone. She left the room.
"Master, how we will get Xion out," Dakota asked.
Master Wayne was going to say something but Zale felt weak and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Laura grabbed him and gave him her body as support.
"I think you all should rest," Master Wayne suggested.
"I will be here," Dakota said.
"No one will stay...only I and Xion will be here,"
Dakota got convinced and walked out of the room. Sophie gave Laura a hand and both walked out of the room with Zale. Master Wayne with strength threw the pendant at the wall. The pendant touched the wall and fell onto the ground. The pendant broke and with a flash of bright light Xion came out from it.
"Xion, are you alright?" Master Wayne asked.
"Yes, Ikaria...," Xion speaks.
"I know everything," Master Wayne interrupted.
"We have very little time,"
The room had an atmosphere that was perfect for the meditation. It had a small waterfall with a pond in which the water was collecting. The walls were covered with green stems of the plant. Xion and Master Wayne stood in front of each other, in between with a cylindrical vessel that contained holy water. Master Wayne and Xion put their hand in that water, was holding each other's hand.
"Are you ready?" Master Wayne asked, raising his head towards Xion.
Xion nodded with a glance at Master Wayne. The water started to sparkle and a glowing line appeared around their hands.
"IF YOU DIE IN THE BATTLE WHOM YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOUR POWERS?" Master Wayne asked in a loud voice. Xion looked at Master Wayne.
"SOPHIE," Xion answered, looked like he gave a lot of thought to that answer. Master Wayne got surprised.
"WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECONSIDER?" Master Wayne, thinking that Xion was in a dilemma.
"NO," Xion said, nodding. Master Wayne moved to another question, due to rituals he had to continue.
"DO TAKE AN OATH TO NOT TO CHEAT IN THE BATTLE?"
"YES,"
"ARE YOU AWARE OF THE FACT, IF YOU CAUGHT CHEATING, YOUR SOUL WILL REMAIN ON THIS LAND AND WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO ANOTHER SIDE,"
"I AM AWARE,"
Master Wayne hummed something and soon the water stopped to sparkle and the line got disappeared. Xion felt being confined into the oath he had taken. Xion's saw his hand and felt his face veins were glowing. Master Wayne asked Xion to change his clothes because the uniform was also made up of using magic.
Xion walked towards the wall and stood, his back touched the wall. He folded his hands in front of his chest. The leaves on the wall started to move and soon covered Xion. A bright light flashed from it inside. The leaves started to move away from Xion and he became visible. He was now without any magical outfit. At the bottom, he wore a pair of loose pants above his navel button. He was bare-chested and barefoot.
"Let's go," Master Wayne said.
