Iris entered the Nine Realms and quickly made her way to the Ninth Realm. She was wholeheartedly trying her best to do what was right in this situation but her heart was saying not to.
"I hope they will forgive me." Iris was moved to tears.
Within minutes of entering the Nine Realms, she had already reached the Sixth Realm. She had barely been back for twenty minutes and this was due to her sensitivity to water.
She had her heart set on Rex but was this doing good for the Earth? She did not know. She also knew that everything she did, she did for Rex. No matter how high or low she would go, she always kept Rex in her heart and mind.
During the fight she had, she only thought of herself for the first time in a very long time. This upset her the most. If she had done something like this earlier, she may not have been able to do what she is now.
Life-giver had already heard the plants talking about Iris coming to the Sixth Realm. He went to talk to her.
She was moving fiercely through the sky. Trying her best to get to the Stairway before Life-giver could meet her.
Life-giver decided to move faster than her. Meeting her in the sky, she looked horrible. Her hair was everywhere, she messed up her makeup, and her saddened face seemed to summarize what she was thinking.
"What happened?" Life-giver was angry.
He knew that Rex could have done something but he was more worried about other people doing dreadful stuff.
"I fought Rex. Now the planet is dying." Iris spoke in her distress.
Life-giver dropped his jaw. He never in his life thought the day would come when he heard that someone fought Rex. He took it that he misheard her.
"I must have misheard you. Tell me what happened please." Life-giver went into a happier mood.
"I fought Rex and the Earth is dying now." Iris spoke in distress again.
Life-giver twitched because he did not know how much damage it would take to destroy the Earth. Since she said it was dying, he knew they would have to move fast.
"Go to the First Realm. I will get Maximum and Demon make sure you explain everything." Life-giver commanded.
"Yes." Iris went back to the First Realm.
She went slower this time because she was not in a hurry. She had to explain everything to them.
Arriving back at the Second Realm, she went and knocked on Sachie's door. Olivia opened it.
"What happened Iris?" Olivia looked shocked but she was more worried.
"I fought Rex and now something bad is happening. Can I use the bathroom to comb my hair and put some fresh makeup on?" Iris asked in guilt.
"You think that just because you fought Rex that you are no longer welcome here correct?" Olivia asked.
Iris nodded in agreement.
"Of course, you are not welcome here. That is because I am not the owner of this house Sachie is. I cannot tell her that I did not let you in. Hurry up and get out. I will wait and hear the story from Rex personally until I decide what to do." Olivia stepped to the side.
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Iris bowed.
Olivia felt thankful that she could be of some help to Iris. She was not going to let it slide, Sachie was her sister. Anyone or anything that dared to bare its claws or fangs at Rex. Would get a bigger claw or fang from herself.
Iris went and spent nearly thirty minutes cleaning herself up. She looked brand new. The makeup was cheap and garbage compared to the stuff she normally uses. She washed her hair and tied it up into a ponytail. She had a spare set of clothes and she took the liberty to put them on.
"Thanks!" Iris waved to Olivia.
Olivia thought it was funny seeing the girl put on some fresh makeup and clothes made her happier than before.
"You got to love and hate some people. Am I right Sachie?" Olivia said.
Sachie came from the corner. She looked mad but she kept her composure.
"I hope everything is alright with Rex." Sachie said a silent prayer.
Iris went back to the First Realm, Maximum, Demon, and Life-giver were waiting for her. Life-giver was surprised to see Iris in a better mood. He also saw the cheap makeup she was wearing as well.
"Father, Demon I suppose Life-giver told you what happened." Iris spoke in sadness.
"No just that you needed to meet us here." Demon answered.
"I know a little bit but not much. Care to explain what happened?" Maximum said.
"I will start from when we last went back to Earth. Is that alright?" Iris asked.
"Of course." Demon praised.
Maximum and Life-giver did not know what Demon was thinking but hearing it only there was probably the best thing.
"Go on daughter." Maximum stated.
"Of course. It started with Rex testing his strength, he went and found his Water Qi. He can use it like riding a sword here." Iris began and the three leaders looked interested.
"I then tried to do what he did and could not. So Rex then stepped onto the sea, and Liz and I both could walk on it." Iris looked at them.
The men were quite surprised at this turn of events.
"I felt a surge in Water Qi and left. It took me nearly six hours to arrive at the sea which should have only been twenty minutes away."
Iris looked up and saw the men were upset at this.
"I formed four water swords and marched my way back to Rex's house. It was his Qi that was going crazy and the fact that a girl demanded that she be Rex's little sister."
Iris looked back and the men understood where this was going.
"I went and called Rex out. We clashed once with our Water Swords. It damaged the planet too badly. Here I am trying to see what can be done to fix the problem."
Iris finished and did not look up. She was not sure how her father was going to react.
"Like father, like daughter. I cannot believe that she took so much after you Maximum." Demon laughed so hard he cried.
"If the planet is dying, you need to start to prepare a place here in the First Realm for Earth." Life-giver said.
"Of course." Iris replied not looking up.
"Why are you not looking up daughter?" Maximum asked.
"I do not want to shed tears in front of you father. I can barely contain myself as it is." Iris's voice became shaky.
"If I cannot see my daughter cry, what will Rex do when you need to cry?" Maximum asked.
The men saw that Iris was crying with her head bowed. She had tried her best to hold everything in but she could not.
"Even though you are in trouble. You are my daughter," Maximum bent down and held Iris, "That will always be a fact. No matter the path you forge. I will always be there for you. I want you to be honest with me."
Iris poured her heart out. She was so upset now over everything. Her heart had a release that got pulled.
