"So this guy really is strong. He had me thinking I was a scrub." Isaiah says with confidence.
"No, you are given your power level; you just have monstrous abilities like the rest of us. Which only gives us somewhat of an edge over people with the same power level as we do. Weakness shows when you face someone who has your counter ability." Kat explained.
Isaiah made a face.
"Did she say all of that to say that I was a scrub? Given, she does have a point, though.
"So what you saying you can take this guy?" Isaiah asked
"Mhm, I am still a little hurt, so I won't be able to transform it would just make the wound bigger. So probably. Well, let's see." Kat says as she rushes Ironheart again with her Sword.
Kat starts slashing at Ironheart with her vampiric speed, and Ironheart manages to dodge Kat's assault.
Ironhearts sees an opening and punches Kat right in her ribs where her wound is. Causing her to cough up blood. She retreats back to Isaiah.
"I can see why he was a problem for you. He can match my speed pretty effortlessly, even though I'm using Vampire blood. Also, his punches are heavy. This guy has definitely seen a lot of combat. Kat said, holding her side.
"So you can't beat him," Isaiah said.
"Say that again, and I'll kill you. . . Not as I am now, so it looks like it is up to you. I'll guard this unconscious girl for now." Kat says, walking with a limp over to Akari.
"It looks like it really is up to me for now," Isaiah says as he tosses his javelin in the air. Holding his jaw.
"Holy sh***, Does my jaw hurt! He really broke it. That's why it's been hard to talk." Isaiah thought.
Before Isaiah could send his Javelin towards Ironheart, a sword made out of red light, Ricocheted off Ironhearts body and caught him to take a step back but virtually still unharmed.
"Don't touch him. He's mine." Akari says, stumbling to get up with the help of Kat.
"Do you think you'll be alright? Maybe you should rest." Kat says, holding Akari up.
Akari takes a deep breath, and the ends of her hair start to glow pink for a second.
"I'm good, good enough to take this Bast*** down, that's for sure," Akari said, opening her eyes.
"Has it already been two hrs? No, it can't be. It's only been one. How is she able to wake herself? All of these teens here are all out of the ordinary." Ironheart said to himself.
Moments later, the cave starts to glow red with 100s of light swords pointed at Ironheart. Sweat no one could see was visible on Ironheart's metallic forehead.
As soon as Ironheart twitched, all red light swords came down on Ironheart making sparks everywhere.
Kat and Isaiah looked at each other without saying any words, they both thought.
"She is a league all to herself."
"Wow," Isaiah says
"He'll be busy for a while, but from the looks of it, it won't kill him, but this should give us time to recover. It's good to see you again. So, Kat, is Carly and Titus here as well," Akari asked.
"Yea, they are; we're here to pick you up because we heard an organization was after you," Kat says.
"Wait, you guys know each other? Why were you making it seem like she was a random girl? Isaiah said confusedly.
Akari makes a face at Kat.
"Probably because I beat her last time we fought," Akari says, giving a cute smile at Kat.
"Shut up; I would totally win right now if we fought. I've mastered a lot more transformation since then." Kat says, defending herself.
"Anyway yeah, we all grew up together in a sense. I mean, all of our parents are a part of the 7 Kings. The only new people we have are you, Lia, and Xavier."
"Really mhmm good to know," Isaiah said.
"So my parents sheltered me from this life to protect me, but they also kept me from meeting my future colleagues and friends essentially. Ugh, I don't know if that was the right decision, but I definitely feel some time for it." Isaiah says, pouting.
"So, who is this guy?" Akari says, pointing to Isaiah.
"Yea, he's-" Kat says.
"I can introduce myself. I'm Isaiah Greenwood. I'm a Psychic?" Isaiah says, waving.
"Psychic? But your-" Akari says.
"Normal? Yea, weird, right. But he's the son of Prof. Greenwood."
"What really!? Isn't he living energy, though? How does that even work?" Akari said, making a weird face.
"Alright, this joke is getting played out. But what do you mean normal?" Isaiah asked.
Akari makes another weird face.
"We'll tell you later," Kat said, turning back to Ironheart.
Ironheart was still crouching with his hands over his head, trying to block all of his vitals. At this point, his skin was bright orange, and Isaiah and the others could feel the heat coming off of him.
"I think this should be about good enough," Ironheart said, getting up.
"These light swords are definitely powerful, but they still can't penetrate through my skin. They're a good way for me to strengthen my body. Thanks for that, by the way." Iron heart says with the light swords now affecting him like raindrops on a jacket.
Akari steps forward and starts forming a giant light sword around in front of her.
Ironheart hesitates for a second then continues to walk towards them.
"Oh, this is what you guys meant by I'm his opponent," Xavier said, appearing out of the shadows of the cave, with Lia and Carly behind him.
Ironheart stops walking and focuses his eyes on Xavier.
"It can't be. . . Is that Hades?" Ironheart says with a shocked voice.
Xavier turns his head and makes an evil grin.
"Ironheart! What in the world would make you take a mission like this? It doesn't matter now because today you have crossed paths with me and this time. I can't be bought. Xavier says with Killing intent in his eyes.
