Ruina's New Plan

With Mommy

I am very sorry to say to my amazing readers. It was not really my intention to make Clay and Jestro related. Whenever I watched the show, they just seemed to be really good friends. 

So the worst had happened for the knights, Clay was with his mother, Ruina Stoneheart. Clay was still in his old room fast asleep with Ruina checking up on him now and them. "What's your plan with him anyway, Ruina?" Monstrox asked. She smiled evilly. "I'm going to have Clay bring you back. His magic is more powerful than my own and quite possibly even yours. Before Clay turned into a five-year-old he used a memory spell but it only had partial effects. It caused him to only remember Merlok was his uncle and his friend Jestro. Luckily, I was able to reverse it and now he only remembers me." 

"What about when he wakes up? Don't forget. The Knights are already planning on how to save him." Ruina smirked. "I already have a plan for that as well."

As they were discussing their plans, Clay was waking up. He rubbed his eyes to remove the tiredness from his eyes. 'What happened?' He looked around and saw that he was in his old room. 'Oh, yeah. Mom and I went to the movies and I fell asleep on our way home.' Clay got out of his bed and walked out of his room. 'I wonder if mommy is awake.'

Clay walked down the stairs and saw his mom was talking to a glowing crystal? 'What is that?' The crystal glowed brightly and his mother turned around. "Good morning, Clay. How are you feeling?" She asked. "Good. Mommy, why are you talking to a glowing crystal?" He asked as he made his way downstairs. 

"This was a friend of mine but tragically was turned into this crystal," She told him acting like she was sad. "Who was he?" He asked. "My name is Monstrox," Monstrox said knowing what Ruina was trying to do. "I was once a powerful wizard who would help all of Knighton with their problems but I was turned into this crystal by a jealous wizard. His name is Merlok."

"By why would he do that?" Clay asked as he sat down on the couch next to the talking crystal which intrigued him. "He was jealous of my power. I once called him my friend but his heart turned cold when I became the king's right-hand wizard. I lost that position the moment he turned me into this form," Monstrox said in fake sadness.

"That's not very nice. Can I do anything to help?" Clay asked eager to help his mother's friend. "Clay, Merlok is a powerful wizard. He also has four knights who are assigned to protect him and two knights in training as well," Ruina told her son. Clay thought to himself for a moment. "Maybe I can use my magic to do something," Clay suggested. 

"I don't know, sweetheart. Your magic is unstable at your age," She told him. "I know but you said with training then I can do anything I want with my magic," Clay told her. Ruina smiled, not because she was proud of Clay, but her plan was working. "Clay, are you sure you want to help? You don't have to," She told him. "But I want to. You told me that I could be both a knight and a wizard. I want to be like a knight and protect my family and friends. Both I also want to use my magic properly. Is there any way I can help?" He pleaded. 

Before Clay entered the room

"Our plan will involve tricking Clay into working for us," She told him. "Yeah, I got that but how? He doesn't seem like the kid who would want to hurt someone," Monstrox told her. "I know but he will protect his family and friends. We can make him think that Merlok and the other knights are evil."

"I see. Tricking him into using his magic right but for the wrong reasons," He concluded. "Yep. Clay will attack and destroy his uncle and friends without even realizing what he is doing is evil and  I concocted this potion," She said as Ruina walked over to a small cabinet and pulled out a vile with a green liquid in it. "What's it do?" Monstrox asked curiously. "This potion will turn Clay evil. 

"Ohh. That sounds delectable. They both heard creaking of small steps. "That must be Clay. Remember the plan." 

Now

"Clay, Merlok knows I had you so he might come looking for you." Clay hugged his mom in fear. "Mom, I don't want him to take me away from you." She smiled. "Clay, he won't be able to." Ruina set Clay on the couch right by Monstrox. She walked over to the cabinet and took out the vile with the green liquid in it. "Clay, Monstrox and I created this potion to help young wizards like yourself control their magic." Clay was then confused. "Mommy, you told me that since my magic was more powerful than most wizards my age or old, it couldn't be controlled even with a potion." Ruina cursed under her breath but quickly came up with a counter-argument. "Clay, I said it might not be kept under control with a potion. I never said it wasn't possible." Clay nodded in understand. "Okay, so maybe now I can fix the chair I turned into a marshmallow." 

Now Ruina was confused. Clay never turned anything into a marshmallow... unless he has subconscious memories of his time with the knights. "Clay, you don't have to worry about that. I fixed it already. Now drink this potion and your magic will be fully controlled," Ruina said as she handed the potion to Clay. He opened the vile and smelled it. "It doesn't smell good," He commented. "Clay, you want to control your magic, right?" He nodded. "Then you have to drink it," Clay sighed in defeat and drank the potion. Monstrox and Ruina smiled evilly as Clay drank the potion. 

Oh, snap. Clay is turning evil and I can't wait for Nexo Knights season 5 this Friday! I don't know what I'll do if they delay season 5 again. Anyway, to answer vaury2004 question, I haven't fully decided if Claycy will be in it. Romance is not my forte. Anyway, see Y'all next time!
