Shan became irritated when Lorelai asked Vaxian to come with her, and he yelled at them, saying that Vaxian was going nowhere. Maya grew angrier and more jealous than before and asked why.
As soon as Shan uttered the words, "I love Vaxian," Hinata's face twisted with anger and she impulsively slapped him across the cheek. She couldn't stand the disrespectful and pompous attitude he was displaying. Meanwhile, Maya's eyes darted towards Vaxian, who was now feigning fear and apprehension. Her voice trembling with rage, she questioned him, "What have you done to him?" Her tone made it clear that she was furious and demanded an explanation for Shan's sudden confession.
Vaxian denied doing anything wrong. "He just confessed he likes me because I'm better," she smirked. Luca rolled his eyes. "This girl's gone crazy!"
As Luca stood there, lost in thought, two figures suddenly emerged from the shadows - Bonnie and Ava. Their faces were serious-looking. They had just returned from the Vampire Kingdom, accompanied by none other than Vincente, the powerful leader of the vampires.
As they shared their story with Luca, he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding wash over him. They had discovered that Roxton, their sworn enemy, was planning to launch a surprise attack on Borealis the very next day. Luca was filled with a mixture of shock and frustration at this news, knowing that they would need to act quickly to defend themselves.
"Wait, hold on a second," Luca shouted in anger. "Shan seems to have gone crazy, and Roxton is planning to attack us with acid goblins tomorrow!" Overwhelmed by what he had just heard, Luca left their midst. Ash suggested that they try to help Shan, but Shan replied, "I am normal."
Vincente decided to take Shan to his kingdom to offer help. Bonnie, Ava, and Vincente had already devised a plan to counter the enemy's attacks.
Vincente presented his idea to his team, "Tomorrow, during the eclipse, our adversaries will be less powerful, and we can take advantage of that." Shan looked at everyone skeptically and rolled his eyes. "But there's a catch," Bonnie interjected with a sigh, "the eclipse will only last for ten minutes!"
Bonnie made a suggestion that they should continue their training, and Vincente went off with Shan while Calavera quietly approached Vaxian. Suddenly, without warning, Calavera covered Vaxian's head with a sack bag and swiftly took her to the sinister Villains Fall prison where she was chained up and imprisoned.
Lily urged Mini, Lorelai, and Lyna to quickly meet Madaiyen. She wanted Madaiyen to teach them the most crucial part of their training lesson. The three of them responded with a positive nod and left promptly to meet Madaiyen.
Luca returned to find Ash and the others. He was relieved Shan was taken away. Calavera planned to catch up with Lily and the others.
Hinata let out a deep sigh as she contemplated the situation. She looked at Maya, her eyes filled with concern.
"We need to retrieve that bracelet from Madaiyen, it could be a potential weapon." Ash said and was feeling a range of emotions. He was angry, frustrated and in disbelief that Madaiyen, someone he had always looked up to, could betray him. He clenched his fists in anger and yelled out Madaiyen's name, his voice echoing in the empty room, as he realized the magnitude of what had just happened.

Hinata asked Maya to take her to the Gadget Lab, but Maya didn't respond. Hinata called out again and Maya replied, "I'm okay," with a frown. She continued, "Let's keep going, but first, we need to go to the Control Center."
Hinata suddenly had an epiphany and exclaimed, "You're absolutely right! Let me take a closer look and try to gather more information on what Madaiyen is up to." However, Maya seemed a bit confused and asked for clarification, "Just to be clear, why do you think she's keeping something so important hidden in there?"
Hinata knew nobody went to the Control center often, and there hadn't been any damage there before. Maya hurriedly took Hinata there.

"Where are the rest of your friends? You guys aren't done with your first level yet, why do you need to get stronger right away?" Madaiyen asked, confused.
Lily's gaze remained fixed on Madaiyen's eyes as she deliberately avoided answering the question. After a moment of silence, Madaiyen let out a deep sigh and reluctantly gave in. Lyna and Lily observed closely as Madaiyen carefully placed the delicate bracelet on her shelf and securely locked the door.
As Lorelai silently rejoiced over the success of the first phase of their operation, Ash and the others emerged from a nearby corner. Upon noticing that the door was locked, Luca exclaimed, "It's locked!" Asher immediately inquired whether Luca had attempted to open it, to which the latter responded, "I saw through..." before trailing off.
"Of course, she'd lock it!" Ash sighed.
*****************************************************
As they approached the training ground, Asher, Ash, and Luca kept a low profile, making sure they weren't visible to Madaiyen. Asher caught a glimpse of Lily and waved discreetly, signaling her to come over. Lily noticed and hurriedly made her way to them. With a reassuring smile, she said, "I understand you need the key. Don't worry, we'll get it for you. Just hold tight and we'll take care of everything."
Lily grabbed Asher's hand with a sense of urgency. In a sudden and unexpected move, she used Asher's hand to slap herself, causing a sharp pain to resonate through her face. She cried out, hoping to get Madaiyen's attention, and successfully did so. Madaiyen, seeing Lily hurt, immediately yelled at Asher for harming her. In an effort to offer comfort, Lily hugged Madaiyen tightly, while Asher stood rooted in confusion. He managed to recover his composure, however, and with a wink at Lily, deftly retrieved the key from Madaiyen's back pocket.
Madaiyen was taken aback as Lily suddenly pulled away from their embrace with a smile on her face. "I'm fine now, back to training!" she said with a determined look in her eyes as she walked off, leaving Madaiyen feeling confused and unsure of what had just happened. Meanwhile, Asher and his friends quickly made their exit.
"Wow, she's really talented," Asher exclaimed with a wide grin as they arrived at Madaiyen's room door.
