Unite (sequel to Team) Big Four + reader + Hazelia, my fictional twin

Chapter 37

" Guys... big issue. I can't find H." Jack said worriedly, panting and taking deep breaths.

They were all gathered in the hall of Mix Academy.

" What? She couldn't have gone that far..." Y/N trailed, turning to Manny.

" We should do something. She may be kidnapped or worse than that. In the meantime, you will all need to prepare," Manny replied.

" Oh, you really should prepare." an unfamiliar voice said from... everywhere.

A red smoke floated near them and then faded away, while the voice cackled evilly. They were all frozen, feet planted to the ground until the hall had became silent again.

" Goodness, what's that?" Janice asked.

" That voice... I've never heard it before," Manny said. Then he shook his head before going serious. " Where's the students that showed their skills the last twenty years?"

" You mean us?" a girl with black hair sauntered forward, appearing from the crowd. Her sword strapped to her waist.

It was Marina Valentine, the best sword handler among the students.

" Yes, you. And the rest," Manny ordered.

Soon Holly Amber (the healer), Ruby Roxander (the poisoner), Dento Grom (the griffin tamer), Glory Katana (the archeress), Heath Flames (the fire bender), Bree Breeze (the weather controller), and Juliana Clamp (the ice bender) all came forward.

" I will need you to sharpen your abilities as sharp as you can. You already have the potential so I'm going to make you as warriors," Manny declared.

They nodded and then walked away to start practicing. Manny then turned to Jack Dark.

" Try to reach Hazel," he said.

" Already trying." Jack Dark replied, trying to use his telepathy.

Then Manny turned to Hiro.

" Hiro, you help Jack Dark. You've set your devices almost everywhere on this realm. Try to see if you can track your cousin," he ordered.

" On it." Hiro replied before making some kind of gesture with his hand and suddenly transparent screens started appearing in front of him. He swiped and clicked through the screens, concentrating on his task.

" Whoa. Cool screens," Janice commented.

Hiro shrugged.

" It's easier like this. So I don't have to go to my computer in my room to work," he replied.

" The rest of you, go to Practice Forest and sharpen up," Manny suddenly announced.

Y/N and the rest of the crowd slowly disappeared into the portal that Manny had just smashed on the ground. Janice looked up at him then.

" So what am I gonna do?" she asked.

" You'll need to stay with Odielta." Manny said, turning to the Dark Queen who stared back at him incredulously.

" I'm not going to sit around here acting like nothing is happening outside. I'm following you to battle," she said.

" No, you won't. I don't think you're well," Manny replied.

" Who are you to order me around? If I said I'll fight, I'll fight. I'm more stronger than you think, Manny." she insisted and then walked away.

" Odielta!" Manny shouted after her but she didn't even cast him a glance.

" Pegasus must've followed after her. She has that attitude." Hiro commented, eyes still glued to his screens.

" Yes, I must agree. Janice, please, stay here." Manny said to Janice before running after Odielta.
