Chapter 4 - The Deceiver Arrives

"Listen up, everyone! I have an excellent plan," declared Everett, confidently counting her fingers. "We're going to turn them into reptiles," added Jake, his voice unwavering. "We should listen to Everett's plan," agreed Roxton, with a nod. "Vaxian, you can make yourself attractive, right? So Shan will fall for you, and that's all we need," Everett commanded. "Well, I'm not sure if that will work, but I'm willing to try," Vaxian replied, attempting to sound assertive. "That's perfect!" exclaimed Phoenix, radiating with enthusiasm.

"I feel strange," Shan said, trying to regain control of himself. "Is it normal? I hear voices" he asked Madaiyen. "Yes, it's normal. You must be hearing voices," Madaiyen replied. "Voices?" Shan asked, confused. "Yeah, maybe you'll get used to it or you may never need that power," Madaiyen said, reassuringly.

Madaiyen walked over to her computer and began typing rapidly. "What are you doing, Madaiyen? Your fingers are moving like machines," Lyna exclaimed, surprised.

"I'm tracking them down," said Madaiyen with confidence.

Lily and Lyna looked bewildered, "How?" they exclaimed.

"I've put a tracker on each of them," replied Madaiyen, getting to her feet. "The navigation system will be activated soon."

"What's a navigation system?" asked Hinata.

Lyna interjected, "It's a device that pinpoints the location of a vehicle and navigates a route to a particular destination."

Madaiyen grinned at Lyna, "You're the smart one, aren't you?" Shan added, "She's right."

"Thanks," Lyna acknowledged. "So, what's the plan, Madaiyen?" inquired Lorelai.

"We're ready!" declared Madaiyen. "And I just want to ride a bike!" exclaimed Lily.

*******************

"Madaiyen needs to go! Vaxian, you leave now!" Roxton demanded. "Don't tell me what to do!" Vaxian retorted before disappearing and reappearing shortly after. With a tone of urgency, she asked, "Where exactly are they?"

"In their headquarters in Borealis," Jennie answered.

"How did you find out?" Sam inquired.

"I secretly placed a tracker on Madaiyen," Jennie revealed.

"Okay, I'm off," Vaxian declared before teleporting into Borealis.

Madaiyen waited for their arrival, but they never showed up. "Perhaps they decided to retreat?" Shan suggested.

A handsome guy walked in, he looked at everyone before walking up to Madaiyen, "Hey Madaiyen, I need to speak to you". 

Madaiyen agreed and asked everyone else to leave. Lily briefly thought about the handsome guy before coming back to reality.

"Are you okay, Lily?" Lorelai asked teasingly, to which Lily shyly replied. Hinata immediately noticed what was happening. 

"Madaiyen, who are they?" Ash asked, to which Madaiyen just smiled and explained that they were new additions. At first, Ash was suspicious and thought there might be a betrayer among them. However, he eventually realized that they were from Earth.

One of the guards rushed in and exclaimed, "Master! Master!" Madaiyen abruptly cut the conversation with Asher and hurried to see what was wrong.

The guard placed the girl he was carrying on the ground. Shan quickly approached her and knelt in front of her, asking with concern, "Are you alright?". The unknown girl pretended to be unconscious. Madaiyen asked the guard where she came from, but he had no idea how she got there. Hinata suggested they take care of her before things get worse. Unbeknownst to them, the girl was observing everything that was happening.

Madaiyen firmly instructed Asher and Shan to immediately take her to the lab without any delay. Without wasting any time, they promptly picked her up and left for the lab.

Madaiyen apologized to the rest of the group as they wouldn't be able to work out due to the presence of an unknown girl. She then instructed the guard to return to his post, and he immediately left. Maya remained silent and observed the proceedings, while Lorelai suggested that they should help Madaiyen as she had helped them before.

Maya was confident that they were the perfect candidates for the task at hand. To let them know that she was still present, she cleared her throat. Lyna then realized that since Maya had been with Madaiyen for a while, she could train them. Hinata and Lily agreed to Lyna's request.

Maya was hesitant as she had never trained anyone before. "We believe in you, Maya," Hinata encouraged.

Maya agreed with a sigh and led them to the training ground.

******AT THE LAB*****

After checking through the unknown girl, they found out she was a demon and she was okay. Asher addressed her as a good demon, and Shan was dumbfounded. 

Madiayen reassured Shan that everything would be alright, as he was still learning. Asher attempted to revive her by gently touching her with his fiery hands. 

The girl pretended to regain consciousness upon noticing the fire, as she did not want it near her.

Shan approached the girl who sat up gently, rubbing her head. "Hello," she said uneasily. With a smile, Shan introduced himself, as well as Asher and Madaiyen. The girl finally introduced herself and said, "Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Vaixian."

Madaiyen led the group of boys to a dimly lit corner, her eyes darting suspiciously toward the girl nearby. Although she couldn't put a finger on what it was, she had a nagging feeling that something was off about the girl. She quickly gathered the boys around her and leaned in close, speaking in hushed tones as she warned them not to divulge too much about their current location. Vaxian's constant smirk did little to ease her skepticism, but Madaiyen tried to push the uneasy feeling aside as she turned to Shan and offered a reassuring smile.

Asher inquired about Vaxian's origin, but she lied, saying she couldn't recall. Shan offered reassurance to Vaxian, letting her know that they were there for her.

TRAINING GROUND

Maya assured the four girls, "If you can make your way to the end over there, it will complete one level." Lyna expressed her fear of climbing, but Hinata encouraged her to be strong and reassured her that there was nothing to worry about. 

Lily confidently seized hold of the tall metal pole, and in an instant, her wolf claws emerged. She was utterly astonished by this thrilling transformation.

Maya told Lily that her claws were available whenever she was ready to climb and when she got mad.

Lily boasted about winning as she climbed, but Hinata warned her not to look down.

Hinata held onto the pole like King Kong. She was surprised at her strength and kept climbing with excitement. Seeing Hinata boosted Lorelai's confidence and she decided to join in.

Lorelai immediately jumped on the pole and Just ran high, She shouted in excitement while running toward the end of the pole. 

Lyna was both astonished and afraid. Although Maya assured her safety, Lyna still wished she could magically appear at the finish line without having to climb. She inhaled and held onto the pole, then exhaled, she closed her eyes and by the time she opened them, she saw herself at the finish line.
