Sehki rushed to his friend, hugging the closest heir he had to a friend. "You're back! I missed you, attempted murderer!"

"Thanks, disgrace," laughing to the confusion of everyone else there. "I can't believe you're joking about that."

"Because you'll all have to apologize to me for eternity. Told you I was innocent."

They bowed. "Sorry."

Heath interrupted them with a cough.

"Oh, father. Mom's still in questioning but she's fine."

They did not expect to feel their father's arms wrapped around their body in an embrace warming than the temperature around them.

"You've returned," letting the water plant his concern. "I'll ensure you'll never be imprisoned again."

Ainsley's doubts but desire to accept it led them leaning into their father's arms.

Everyone there gave them some space while Principal Mechion nodded.

"They completed their rehabilitation and provided the most willing evidence for further investigation. And they have experience with our next security measures."

Ainsley tapped Heath. "I'm okay, promise. Come on, the sooner we get to Tellos, the better."

With the jet taking them on the way to the country, they got a good look on tweaks to his outfit, a pink-blue stripped loose-long cargo skirt pants combination, blue vest underneath a pink shirt.

"So, Ains, how's the others doing?"

"Xia's still moody but they're all trying to train when they get out," yawning while telling him about Delta and Calypsa grueling training making Sehki shuddering from her unortodox methods.

"One more thing," scratching their hand. "Taylor and Rigal hooked up."

Lorena, Cree, and Candy gasped while Sehki covered his mouth from laughing. I knew it, slipped out of his mouth.

"Details!"

"We were a little drained, Taylor accidentally made a water clone thinking of Delphine and Kayla, invited Rigal, and then burst the water clone while they were sleep deprived and started making out," confirming their mutual fondling before falling asleep.

Sehki laughed his socks off.

"Wait, back when we went to rescue Xia and you said two of us might hook up with each other....you knew about that?"

"I mean it was possible. Why else would Taylor invite him every time? That's not taboo in Terra, is it?"

"No, why?"

"No reason."

A snake nudged Sehki's back: Dango inviting him for a conversation.

"Why did you did use Yamato-No-Orochi's namesake? That fae devoured our ancestor's resources and sacrificed our their own people for power!"

"My friend had me watch a show where a guy used its power to help his friends after starting out on the wrong foot. We've got the power of the serpents: let's show Terra not all snake users are born evil."

"I see," looking at the reports of Stheno Gorgon reportedly running rampant in Tellos. "I hope so."

Lorena approached Ainsley. "Do you know who Fari is? It can't be coincidence, all of them have some connection with the heirs."

Wali crossed his hands. "Another reckless decision you all could've avoided?"

They sighed. Once upon a time, a young prince noticed several other bodies were wrapped around a hospital bed. They reached for the window, spotting a young girl fighting the guards in order to escape.

"Maybe she was one of the students that had their DNA extracted for me," gripping their palm. "This is my responsibility."

Heath was about to say something when Paleun gasped.

The class and Shadow Brawlers went to see the sight troubling him: Fari continuously, jumping into a portal and coming out a few miles ahead of them, briefly taunting them with a smile.

"She recovered already?"

They raced to get to her, but she summoned pathways to race away from them, with them giving chase until they arrived within Tellus Asylum.

When they landed, most of them took in the temperate climate brought about by living vines transpiring large amounts of water vapor into the sky, while Heath was more preoccupied on using them to slow Fari down.

"Guards, contact Tilapia Meadows! The rest of you get to Astral Academy. My child, lead them there!"

While he attempted to weave the vines to target Fari from afar, Ainsley led the Shadow Brawlers, Earth Majors, and Dango & Paleun through the the central city's main street to the Academy, greeted by several people photographing Ainsley's return.

"Were they released from prison on good behavior?"

"They look stronger. Wonder if they're still the weakest of the heirs."

"Prince Sehki is here too? They see to be on good terms."

"Why is the prince back? The other kingdoms have way more physically capable heirs. Their fashion sense is a joke."

"I heard they rejected their parent's preference for a wife and chose a commoner that worked for them. How sad."

Sehki was going to say something but Ainsley held his arm back.

"I've been dealing with this my whole life. I can handle this."

Ainsley waved to the crowd with a smile and wave, conjuring several poems around to shake the people's hands and show them kindness instead. It seemed to be working until Wali noticed two chaotic presences from afar with long range weapons in their hands pointed towards the group.

"Begone you freak!"

"Lying traitor!"

Both hairs snatched the respective bullets approaching them with their respective magic, but Ainsley coated it in rubble, letting it spiral and grow from the nearby surrounding into a giant boulder, splitting it in two and sending it straight towards the shooters.

Twisting the spheres into cages trapping their arms and legs, attracting and dropping them gently to the floor.  

Their eyes stared at them with dread at their figure, pulling their fist back, punching the ground between them, infusing the ground with energy. From where they shot, a fountain of fruits and vegetables emerged.

"You were malnourished because you had to sell all your crops and my parents slowed down when people received money," giving them their energy. "My apologies."

Heath lowered his eyes at his child's change in behavior as Ainsley lead the class to Astral Academy.
