Lexi was surrounded by a cyclone of wind...a power of which that didn't belong to her. Both Kieran, with an empty tube in his hand, and Saku fully understood what was going on. Saku spoke in an uncertain and confused voice "Lexi...why do you...have...Ivy's power?" Aureline, Sophie and Jessamine looked confused while Lexi looked with an angry face
"To gain the power needed...to prove I'm the best...little brother. I have taken this power to prove once and for all...there is nothing for me to be afraid of" her last words rung, with great pain, through Saku's mind and body
"What...do you mean? So...you were...scared of me too?" said Saku with some desperation
"Well...I'm not now little brother"
Lexi's retort had hit Saku where it hurt...his heart and resolve. Lexi readied herself and charged forward, bringing out her aura gauntlets, while Saku just stood still "now, I'm going to show you...just weak you are!" Lexi than began letting loose fierce blows and kicks with great tenacity. Lexi then hit Saku with a powerful uppercut sending him in the air and to follow up Lexi jumped up above him. Lexi than dived towards Saku with a fist outstretched.
As Lexi focuses her aura gauntlet seemed to catch fire of a dark green. Lexi then punched Saku directly in the stomach and began punching him towards the ground. Than with a great effort, she hit Saku with a cyclone of wind smashing Saku with a heavy impact into the floor itself covering it in dust. The vibration of the impact spread to the stands...and to a very worried girl.
Mochi was in the stands watching the fight unfold along with Marina who was watching over her. Mochi looked horrified "What's...going on? Why did...big sister Lexi do that?" Marina looked with an annoyed face
"Jealousy Mochi" Mochi turned to her "never mind that. Go on run to then quickly, I'll catch up okay" Mochi nodded and ran as fast as she could.
Marina looked at Lexi as she landed on the ground "once you live long enough with power and pride...you can feel threatened when someone gets close to you. When that happens...you'll do anything to protect your place" Marina looked down at Lexi "but with every power...there comes a price. And when its selfish request...the price...is so heavy...others have to pay"
Lexi looked confidently and happy "Now you see see...I am the truly stronger one. Me not you" as the dust cleared Saku was on his feet with the floor cracked and smashed around him, his clothes were tattered and his forehead and face was grazed. Lexi looked quite smug "so how's that little bro? With this new power at my disposal I have nothing to be afraid of anymore"
"Even...you...were afraid of me too?" said Saku in an emotionless tone "Why did you do it Lexi? We were...going to work together?"
"Do you want to know why? Because I hate you Saku" this shocked his friends "I have worked my whole life to get where I am. For years I trained and practised becoming the best I could be...then from nowhere you come along"
Lexi looked genuinely angry as she spoke "within a month you reached a plateau that took me years to reach. The plasma shield of mine, has blocked and protected me from every fighter I've ever fought against" Anastasia felt a strong surge of anger "Then from nowhere, even with your powers till sealed, you smashed it with ease" Lexi had clenched her fists "do you have any idea how that felt?" Anastasia couldn't hold herself back anymore
