After flying behind Anna for what seemed like an eternity to Jake, the planet they were journeying towards now appeared closer, and soon enough, they both touched down on its surface.
They had seen the fighting that was currently happening and between the soldiers and the werts and it seemed the soldiers were holding their own against the werts for now.
Anna had led Jake to a set of abandoned buildings that were to the side of the wert base but was miles away from it.
"Why are we landing on the werts' side?" Jake asked. "Shouldn't we be in the makeshift haven that the soldiers made?"
"You mean the same soldiers who will soon be alerted of our disappearance?" Anna said. "Before you turn back into a human take this." She handed him a mask which supplied oxygen and she brought out another from the magical dimension her bracelet was able to open.
She reverted back to a human and immediately put on the mask. Jake did the same before he opened a portal for the others to leave through.
They immediately received masks from Anna as they stepped out of the magical dimension and put it on when they saw both of them wearing it.
"What's with these?" Kyle asked as he put on the mask.
"There's no oxygen here." Jake replied. "Let's go."
"Go where?" Diane asked.
"To join the fight that's going on right now." Jake answered.
"Don't you guys need to regain your mana?" Smith asked. "You just flew from one planet to another. That can't have been easy."
Jake checked his mana with the system before deciding if he could fight or not.

"I'm good." Jake said. "How about you?" he asked Anna.
"I can fight with or without my magic." Anna replied. "But I still have enough mana so let's go. But we're not joining the fight." she said, stopping Jake and the others. "We're going directly to the wert base."
"That's not a good idea." Sasha immediately said. "We don't know what level of strength the werts at the base are at and you two are not at your full strength. What if we get there and see a six-tailed wert along with some other high level ones? What then?"
"Sasha's right." Smith said. "It's better we help the soldiers who are fighting and maybe that way, we get in their good graces or something and they can give us more information about the wert base."
"Hate to say it but that's a better idea." Kevin said. "You know I love you Miss Anna but I'm with Smith on this."
"So let's go already." Sky said. He was wearing the outfit he had worn when he and Anna were looking for Jake and she had been training him. Black leather clothes that were also used for protection because they were stronger and harder than other clothes. He also had his holsters strapped to different parts of his clothes and he had daggers and knives in them.
Before going to bed the night before, Andrea had gone to his room and given him something. The small black blade that turns into a black sword was now in one of Sky's holsters but it was wrapped in a piece of cloth to prevent sunlight from accidentally touching it and making it become a sword.
As it was in the holster, Sky was feeling the little boost it gave him even as it was a small blade. He had asked Andrea about it when Andrea had given it to him but Andrea had just said, "It's a relic from Vaxoryn."
They headed in the direction of the noises come from all the fighting and they made sure to stay clear of the wert base.
However, as they all ran towards the fight, something moving through the air at an overwhelming speed caught their attention. It moved fast enough to break the sound barrier and waves were visible in the air each time it broke the sound barrier.
It was also moving towards the fight that was happening and from how fast it moved through the air, it would get there minutes before Jake and the others.
"What the hell is that?" Kevin asked.
"Guess it's like Sasha said, a high level wert." Kyle said.
"But how high?" Sky said. "That's the question."
"We've gotta get there." Jake said and began running faster than before.
"Wait shouldn't we..." Kevin was saying something but the others had already left him behind as they ran. "Ugh." He had no choice but to run after them.
Jake had stopped running slowly so the others could keep up. His speed was his highest attribute so he was way faster than the others but Anna could still keep up as she ran by his side and Sasha was using her super speed magic so she didn't get left in the dust like the others. Literally.
Rheya on the other hand was not running with them. She stood and watched Jake, Anna and Sasha run then apparated to where they were in a second. If she knew where they were going exactly she would have apparated there directly but they only had the noises of the fight to direct them and she was not strong enough to use only sound to apparate somewhere.
As Jake kept running, he used the magical dimensions magic and opened a portal right in front of him then ran through it. Normally he was supposed to go into the magical dimension and stay there but this time he ran through the portal and cane out from the other side with the enchanted armour on him.
With the combined magical strength of all three mimicked magical abilities, he was able to create a two-sided portal that allowed him to quickly go into the magical dimension and come out from the other side of the portal.
He knew he would need his strongest magical abilities for whatever that thing was that flew through the air at that rate so he selected another magical ability from the enchanted armour screen and replaced the magical dimensions magic.

[Strength of Mimicked magic: 190]
[Mimicked magic 3: Shapeshifting Magic]
[Strength of Mimicked Magic: 278]
[Total Magic Strength: 718]
The blood magic was very versatile and Jake knew it had amazing capabilities. He just needed to more magical strength to unlock those capabilities.
After equipping the armour, Jake had run ahead of Sasha and Anna and did not plan on slowing down.
"That's cheating." Anna shouted. She shapeshifted into a five-tailed wert and jump into the air before spreading her wings and flying off.
Jake had gotten to where the fighting was happening and he heard the bangs in the air continuously. Each time he heard it a soldier would drop dead, the body separating into different parts.
He managed to catch a glimpse of what it was when it touched the ground and broke the sound barrier again.
"A six-tailed wert?" Jake said, absolutely shocked and horror struck.
