Ruina's New Plan

Transformation

I'm back and wow! Just WOW! I can't believe that I just posted this a week ago and I already have nearly 50 views. That's awesome! Anyway, back to the story!

(Merlok's POV)

The knights came back with my nephew unconscious in their arms. "What happened to Clay?" I asked worried. "Ruina hit him with a spell to protect me. We don't know what the spell did. We need you to check." Macy said as the other Knights set him down near my digital console. I scanned him with my magic and was shocked at what I found. "Nexo Knights, nothing is wrong with Clay. I scanned him three times and I couldn't seem to find any wrong with him." I told them.

"WHAT?!" They all shouted. "But how?" Lance said. "Yeah, I mean we all saw Clay jump in front of Macy to protect her from one of Ruina's spells." Axl said. "Hmm. Perhaps I should do a deeper scan of the spell Ruina used. Ava, Robin, it's going to be a long night." 

"I was afraid of that. Well, Robin, we better get to work." Ava said. "Right, don't worry guys. While we in here, why don't you take Clay to his room to get some rest?" Robin suggested. "I agree with Robin. Clay should be in his room and when he wakes up I'll let you all know." I told them. Reluntantly they all nodded and took Clay to his room. 'Ruina, what did you do to your son and why?'

I was shaken out of my thoughts when I heard Robin sigh sadly. "Don't worry, Robin. Ruina may be evil now. But deep inside, she is still my sister, Wanda Moorington. She still cares about Clay. The spell she used isn't dangerous which is probably what I was scanning for. We must do a deeper search to find out what Ruina did to Clay before it's too late." Robin smiled. "Right! Come on, Ava! Let's get to work!"

The Next Morning

(No one's POV)

Due to Merlok, Robin, and Ava still having no success finding out what Ruina did to Clay, Merlok ordered all of them to go to bed and get some rest. It was about eight in the morning when Macy woke up and she wanted to check on Clay. Unbeknownst to her, Ruina's spell on Clay was completed and now the knights had a bigger problem to deal with then Ruina.

Macy walked into Clay's room to check on him but found that his bed was empty. 'Clay's bed is empty.' Macy gasped silently to herself. 'Maybe he's awake or Ruina's spell ran its full course or maybe both?!' Macy thought to herself. She ran out of the room to find everyone not even noticing the small, fearful, light blue eyes staring at her from a dark corner.

With Macy

Macy run to everyone's room to wake them up and telling them about Clay. Finally, they ran into the main console room where Merlok was sleeping. "Merlok! Clay is missing!" Macy shouted startling Merlok awake. "What?! Who?!" He shouted. "Merlok, I went to Clay's room to check on him and he was gone. I have no idea where he is." Macy said completely distraught. "Ava, check the cameras around Clay's room." Merlok said. "Already on it, magic man." Ava said as she used her magic fingers to check the security cameras around Clay's room. "Clay should still be in his room. I checked the video for all night. He never left his room." Ava said. "WHAT?!"

"Ava, are you sure?" Aaron asked. "As sure as I can be. The only ones to enter and leave Clay's room are you four." Ava told me. "Hmm, maybe we should check Clay's room one last time. Macy, maybe you missed something since you were in such a hurry to tell us about Clay." Axl suggested. "Axl is right. Ava, Robin, and I are going to finish scanning the spell and in the meantime, you four check Clay's room one more time."

"But my beauty sleep! I need my beauty sleep." Lance complained. Everyone looked at him irritated. "Fine, I'll help find super knight."
