jumping out of the portal they found themselves being carried away by water. Regina was sluggishly swimming in the water, while Lauren was holding onto Maximum to prevent the ancient demon from sinking inside, she too was swimming, trying to balance her weight with that of Maximum on the water.
" keep your head up Max " she told him,
Maximum wasn't sinking because he couldn't swim rather it was because the water wanted to capture them and he's using his powers to prevent that, without them knowing it, Regina decided to help out, since she knew that the rider wasn't going to leave Maximum to drown,
come to think of it, How's she going to kill him if she's madly in love with him?.
the moment Regina got closer she saw what was preventing Maximum from maintaining his balance on the water.
beneath them was a blue rising flame, it was moving like a water wave, but she will notice how it will go back,.
it wasn't her doing, neither was it Lauren since the girl hasn't unlock her powers yet, Therefore it must be Maximum.
she was totally confused, Maximum had lots of opportunities to kill this rider but he's not doing it why ?
just then two figures appeared before them in that water.
" welcome to watermark, I created this place " Alexander said looking at Maximum who was Sandwich in between Lauren and Regina.
" just get this over with " Clifford said, directing the statement to Alexander.
Alexander raised his hand up, a massive wave of water followed him from behind, Maximum upon seeing this place himself in front of Regina and Lauren, the moment Alexander directed the water towards them, someone grabbed Regina from behind.
" caught ya " Clifford said, he sank into the water to reappear beside Alexander.
" let me go " she protested kicking her feet against the water, therefore splashing water on them .
" quite down sweetheart, as hybrid will add a great benefit to my collection " Alexander told her, before Regina knew it her mouth and leg were tied by some water.
how ridiculous is this
she thought within her.
Maximum drew Lauren even closer to himself as he might not know what other trick this two have under their sleeves.
" let the hybrid go " he told them
" so that she can continue causing trouble, I don't think so " Clifford said. Maximum waved the water wave away.
" Alexander!!!!!" he called out really loud.
that moment more water rose attacking Maximum and Lauren, Maximum gritted his teeth in anger, then his gray eyes turned yellow, fire rose from behind him, which was accompanied by a massive volcanic eruption from beneath the water.
Lauren grip onto Maximum even more but then she losses her grip on him when she saw the changes in him.
" Azeroth behave " Alexander warned him, but Maximum ignored him.
Lauren scared, what if the fire consume her ?
" Azizah stop, he will kill himself if you continue like that " Clifford warned Alexander.
" he will regenerate " Alexander told Clifford,
both Maximum and Alexander charged at each other much to Clifford's displeasure.
the two waves were about to collide when a mighty wind from nowhere blew the forces away crashing it against a tree very far away, the tree got completely destroyed as it pieces couldn't even be seen.
" what was that for ?" Alexander shouted at Clifford.
Maximum on the other hand vanished with Lauren.
Regina wasn't surprised that he left her, she was just disappointed in herself that she's going to die in the hands of two ancient demons.
out of nowhere she felt someone grab her hand, she screamed out of fear, well she's on water what do you expect.
the person pulled her away even before Clifford and Alexander could stop them.
landing on the solid ground, Regina saw Lauren who ran over to her and then Maximum who was walking towards a tree, he sat down under it.
" are you okay ?" Lauren asked her, she looked up to her.
" he saved me ?" Lauren nod to her question.
" why ? you asked him to ? "
" no I didn't , he said it's not wise to leave you alone with them " Regina was surprised she stare at Maximum whose focus was on the sky.
gently she stood up, dusting her wet body,
she ran her hands over her body as it glow in sliver light, drying her clothes.
" can I ?" she asked Lauren who nod at her, she did the same thing to Lauren drying her clothes as well.
Then both girls walk over to Maximum, Lauren sat down beside him, while Regina sat down some distance away from them.
" it will soon be dawn " Regina told them.
Lauren was confused,
" what will happen at dawn ?" she asked.
" everything will be over " Maximum told her , he hugged her really tight,
this wasn't how he expected everything to turn out, but however way it did, he was still glad that he was able to protect her, all he has to do now is to wait until Dawn, then he will take her to mystical island, where he will watch his rider become who she really is,
" How's your wound ?" Lauren asked, bring him back to reality.
" better " he replied, Regina just watched them in amazement.
aren't these two destined to eliminate one another ?
didn't the prophecy say that the rise of the riders will be the downfall of the ancient demons ?
But what is happening here is a total contradiction to what the prophecy said.
well however it maybe she will wait, until Dawn to see how things will unfold later in the future.
" until Dawn " she said to herself.
