Nova POV Later that night I am ready to go but before I go get Hercules I look at my reflection in the mirror one more time.

I go get him and I find him on the living room with everyone else. -Are you ready to go? You still have time to change your mind. Hercules-And be a coward, no way. Is anyone else tagging along? -No, they're going to watch it from here and they will also tape it for me to keep record. Remember that as soon as we cross the front door you are my slave until we come back. Is that understood? He nods and we go away. He opens the door for me. Everyone else wishes me luck and I smile. We go to the stage and I torture Hercules all the way asking him to do things for me and so on. We get there with fifteen minutes to spare. -Dear cousin, go get me a hot chocolate and a mint. He goes and my stylist does my makeup and the finishing touches on my dress. When they finish I take a sip from the hot chocolate and then I take the mint. I go to the stage and I start singing my songs.
Animal I have become
Monster
I walk by the edge of the stage shaking hands and taking gifts. I go back to the center of the stage and in one I take a jump and as I land amongst the crowd I lift my arms as I were lifting the mini stage below me as it goes up lifting me up above the crowd. I keep singing and then I go silent and I urge them to sing with me as well. They do and they throw stuff at me, flowers, kisses and even phones. One guy throws his jacket at me and I catch it and look at him. He mimicks for me to use it and I put it on as he asks. I press a button on the mini stage with my foot and it starts rotating making me go a bit higher as it goes a tiny bit higher and when it stops the sides turn to steps and as I step each one it lights up either in neon purple, neon red or neon golden. I reach the bottom and I take off the jacket and give it back before I stretch out my arms and some of my assistants remake my dress making a long tail that covers the back of my legs and they get me some sparkles. I start to walk again to the main stage and they give me some gifts for me and when I reach the stage as I get back on it I sing one more song with the tail of the dress on before I take it off and sing the last song of the night before I bid farewell to them with a kiss as I jump through a hole in the stage dissapearing from their sight. I appear again backstage and I call my assistant for the day. -Cousin! Get me a water bottle with ice. Another assistant came and she gives me what I asked for. Lady-Here you go. Rest well, it was a great show. -Where is my cousin? The boy that came with me. Lady-He left a bit ago. A bit after you started singing the first song. -He did what? I silence her and I give her the water back and I stand in anger and go to the entrance. I don't see the car so I run back home. When I get there I storm through the door calling him out. -HERCULES!!!! Everyone shows up except for him but they don't try to hold me back. I open all the doors in the house before I find him lifting weights and listening to music. He has his eyes closed as he whistles to the rhytm of the song and the worst part is that he is shirtless and with shorts on and he's sweating like he has been here a long while ago and that makes me even madder. I pull him by the leg making the weights fall on his face breaking his nose. Then I put him on his feet and I grab him by the hairs and I drag him out of the house and towards a more open space because I don't want to break the house. When I reach a good spot I throw him against a wall hard and he rubs his head. Hercules-What was that for? Are you insane? -You are a son of a bitch! Ka-Nova...... -You arrogant bastard! Ha-Nova I throw him lots of punches that he evades with his aura. I lift him up and I hold him by the neck against the wall. I look for a weapon and I only see a metal stick by the grass. I throw him a punch and I let him fall to his knees as I reach out for the metal bar. I swing it at his head and it almost hits him. I kick him in the gut and as he falls backwards I stand on top of him and I aim for his head twice failing those as well. The third one almost hits him in the face as he blocks it with both hands just inches away from his face. Hercules-Uncle! Karma! A little help please? She's going to kill me! Karma POV Dad and I keep still for a moment, we doubt if we should risk Nova killing us along with Hercules. He starts begging for his life. Hercules-UNCLE!!!! KARMA!!!!! We see as Nova becomes more violent as she calls forth her aura. She lifts her arms and she accommodates two sharp aura blades to stick them on his chest and then she powers up very high and very exponentially and dad and I run and take each one of her arms stopping her. She grunts trying to break free and we take her backwards allowing Hercules to break free. Ha-You, go home, I'll deal with you later. He doubts for a moment. -Go, now. He goes and I turn to see Nova as she keeps looking at him with nothing but anger and intention to kill on her eyes. -Can you hold her back for a moment? Ha-Of course I can. But do it fast. He surround her with his arms and she fights his hold and I try to hurry as I take the iron bar and I concentrate in making it stronger taking the earth around me and refining it into metal as I unite it with the other metal rod. When I finally finish I turn to them again. I see her breathing smoke. -Turn her back to me, hands behind her. Be careful of possible fire breath from her. He nods and he holds her out for me. I wrap the metal around her wrists and I make her go to her knees taking her lower to the ground. I hold her gently but still with enough force to keep her down. She screams and grunts with the both of us. In a moment she turns around kicking us both away. She grunts as she tries to break her hands free from the metal I used. Dad goes first towards her and she notices him almost immediately. I get up on one knee and I feel a pain on my head. I touch and when I look at my hand I see blood on it. I get a bit lightheaded and I see Nova exhaling smoke breaths. -Dad, back off, get away from her. He doesn't hear me and as I turn to see her I see as she breathes a gigantic fire breath against dad. On instinct I pull up a defense so the fire doesn't hurt dad. He looks at me a bit surprised and I frown at him. When the fire dies down I get the defense down and shaking I stand and go towards him. Ha-She's out of control. -I know. Ha-I never seen her like this. -Me neither. Ha-We have to stop her. -Indeed. We have to. Ha-You're bleeding. -I know. We call forward our own auras and as on cue she looks at us and she takes another breath and I get in front of dad and take a breath as well. We both breath out and is her fire against my fire. I feel mine getting smaller and then it dies down and I'm almost engulfed by her flames if I hadn't surround myself with a wall of water that makes the fire evaporate into smoke. I see as she breaks free from the hold I did on her and when she starts to run away I control the air making her fly towards me. She makes a fire impulse with her hands going away from me but directly into dad's arms. They both stumble backwards and as I see him holding her as she tries to break free. She lifts her arms and she starts scratching his arms and his face as well between struggles to break free. He sits up slowly still holding her. I go towards them and then I receive a kick from her high heels right on the nose. I make as if nothing happened. She kicks dad on the leg before she sticks the heel on his leg and he screams in pain. She takes the chance and breaks free from his grasp. I go make sure he's fine before I chase after her. -Go home and rest, I'll stop her. Wait for us there. He nods and I help him up before he teleports and I go after Nova. Is rather easy considering her aura is completely exposed. I find her quickly and I tie her from behind covering her mouth stopping her from using her fire breath again. She fights against me but I keep holding her. I take her home slowly and I find that dad is on the door waiting for us. He sees us and he opens the door for us. I go inside after him and we find that everyone is awake with the exception of the youngest one. They make to start asking but I stop them. -We'll explain later. Nobody gets close to us just yet. Dad, pull the silver book on the shelve. He does and a secret elevator is revealed behind the bookshelf. I enter with Nova and dad and he presses the only button there and we go down to the antiaura basement I made for us gods specially. I tie her up against a column there and she struggles with it to no avail. Ha-What is this? -Kind of a safe place. I built it originally to discuss things without recurring to my aura. Never thought she'll be the first to be down here. Ha-What did Hercules did to her that she got so mad? -That's what I'm going to find out. We see as Nova breathes a wall of fire towards us which is contained by the glass that separates us from her. We go up the elevator again and I go towards Hercules and I give him a punch right on the jaw and another one on the nose making him bleed. I put my hands on my pockets keeping myself from hitting him even more. -What did you do to her!? Hercules-How should I know? -You were supposed to stay with her until you both got back from the concert. Why did you left her alone? Hercules-I thought I was only getting her there and come back and then go get her afterwards when the concert was over. -You really are dumb. You idiot, you should go back home to Olympus or your mansion in New York. Hercules-I just got here. -And you're just leaving. You have to be away from her, very very far or you might die by her hands. Hercules-Fine. I'll go, do tell when is safe to be around the same place as her. I nod and he teleports away. I fall to my knees as I let myself relax a second for a moment.
