After the training session, Kealin had returned home
'MJ must be worried sick'
Kealin thought as he walked through the crowded sidewalks
"I've achieved quite a lot from Alex's training...with this I should be able to protect Max and Lena.." The teenage boy said to himself
"MJ, I'm home.." Kealin said but his voice thrilled off as he saw the two figures in his living room
"Oh, Kealin your back....good" April said with a sinister smile plastered on her face
"Kea, is that you?" MJ rushed out of the Kitchen with an apron and embraced the teenager
"You've got a lot of explaining to do young man"
"Starting with...where have you been for the past 22 hours?" MJ asked in a serious tone
"22 hours...Chronos how long was I in maze?.."
"Approximately 22 hours, 39 minutes, 12 seconds and 0.06 centi-seconds" Chronos replied
Kealin didn't know what to do at this point and just put up an awkward grin, that was until a certain someone answered in his stead
"MJ, recently Lena and Max got arrested in school and were taken to the station, ever since that happened, Kealin has been searching for clues that would prove their innocence "
April said, causing MJ to calm down but she still gave Kealin an earful
"The next time you plan to do something like that, inform me so I don't have to worry and call the cops everytime I don't see you.." She said
"Wait you called the cops...."
"Geez" MJ sighed as she returned to the kitchen
"She's a kind person, It'd be shame if she got hurt, don't you think?"
April said with a sinister smile causing Kealin's anger to skyrocket
"Was that a threat?" Kealin asked
"I don't Know, you tell me"
"You know at first I thought maybe you had a good reason for abducting the girls, so maybe we could talk and I could hear you out, but now I really don't care about what you have to say...I only have one question.."
"Where the victims?"
Kealin stared into April's eyes intently as he said these words
April's lips curled up into a smile as she said
"What if I told you I don't know"
Kealin clenched his fist, his veins could clearly.
"In that case, I'll just make sure you both taste hell" Kealin said, surprisingly rather than April, Rudy now had a large grin plastered on his face
"You know back then.... I held back, I was being used like some kind of toy, following the script like an actor...but now I don't need to act..now I'm free" The teenage boy said and suddenly the temperature in the room increased
"I'm gonna fucking kill you" He declared as his hands started glowing bright red
"Whoa, what's going on?..are we experiencing a heat wave or something?.."
MJ said as he came out of the Kitchen and took off the apron
"MJ, Mrs Lee from next door just called, her husband slipped and fell in the bathroom and she needs your nursing help..ASAP!!..He's bleeding pretty badly and she's freaking out, can you go help her right away" Kealin lied and MJ's expression changed to one of concern
"Oh, poor Mrs Lee, I'll go help"
Immediately, she rushed out of the door leaving Kealin to face April and Rudy
Rudy takes a step forward amused
"Clever excuse but now your mine"
Suddenly, flames lit up on Rudy's arm running down his shoulder to his forearms and finally his fist
The flames formed on Rudy's arm and April had spread her shadow across the room.

Kealin and Rudy rushed forward at the same time and threw out their fists.The two collided and the impact shook the whole house
"Shit...I'm going to have a lot of explaining to do"
Rudy sent out a combo of flame attacks towards Kealin, but the latter countered with attacks of his own. Kealin delivered a quick jab to Rudy's face and before the young warrior could regain his composure, Kealin sent him flying with a crescent kick.
"What's this poor response I'm getting" Kealin thought, he was sure that Rudy was in front of him, but it felt as if he had hit nothing
Suddenly, Rudy's body was shrouded in shadows and in a blink of an eye, he was gone
"You didn't forget about me, now did you?" A certain female said from behind Kealin
But turning around he was met with a fist, the attack was too fast for Kealin to react as the flaming fist crashed into the side of his head, flinging him backwards
'If I hadn't activated my mana zone, I would lost just from that attack'
'These two.... They certainly are a troublesome duo'
