Chapter 9: The Might and The Magic
After about an hour of waiting, Aaron returned with other knights to Fortrex. They all gathered in Merlok 2.0 room and looked at you.
- Did they break your arm?! - Macy asked in disbelief.
- They didn't break it... I have a bumped shoulder and.... I need to have it set. - you replied, avoiding looking at them.
- Well, let's set it then. - said Lance, as if it was obvious.
You looked daggers at him and clenched your hand into a fist.
- No. - You growled firmly.
- (Y/N). We had a deal. I saved the others, now it's your turn. - said Aaron, putting his hands on his hips.
You rolled your eyes. - Easy for you to say. Do you know how it hurts!? Just try to touch me, and I swear....
Merlok grunted. - (Y/N). We need to set your shoulder. What are you going to do when it fuses and you will look like those figures in Picasso paintings?
You knew perfectly well what he was doing. As a child, when you didn't let your wound be dressed, Merlok kept telling you such nonsense. You looked at him with squinted eyes. You clenched your jaw the longer you stared at each other. You growled irritably and sighed defeated.
- Okay... let it be.
Merlok smiled contentedly, as did Aaron.
- Don't smile like that, because I'm about to lose patience with you two and really.... argh!
- Okay, who will set her shoulder? - Lance asked.
- I'll do it. - said Axl with a smile.
You squealed quietly and abruptly backed away as far as possible from Axl.
- Maybe no, big guy. - Aaron replied and patted him on the back.
- Clay, Macy, hold her. Aaron, set her shoulder. - Merlok said.
Macy and Clay came up and grabbed you and Aaron grabbed your aching shoulder. You hissed at him and looked daggers at him.
- Okay, get ready. - he said to you.
You closed your eyes and Aaron twisted your arm, seting it. You screamed in pain and kicked the boy in the shin.
- Ouch! What's that for!? - he shouted and grabbed his leg.
- For idiocy, that's what! - You growled at him and rubbed your shoulder.
- All right, all right! You will kill each other later. Now we have to move to the castle and defend Knightonia from Jestro. - Clay ordered.
- Okay. - You muttered and glanced at Aaron in exasperation.
You went to the vehicles and waited for the drawbridge to open. You looked at Lance's vehicle and saw in the second seat a small pig. You gasped in surprise and smiled.
- Have you adopted a pig!?
Lance looked at you confused and smiled slightly.
- Yeah. (Y/N), this is my new friend, Hamletta. Hamlleta, meet (Y/N).
The pig tilted its head to the side and grunted happily. You smiled broadly.
- Lance, that's so sweet of you! Nice to meet you Hamletta.
Lance blushed slightly and smiled awkwardly. Aaron seeing this growled under his breath and furrowed. The drawbridge opened and you all left on to the holographic bridge, immediately starting to fight the monsters.
- Jestro, I won't forgive you for having my shoulder knocked out because of you! - You screamed and fended off the monsters. But no matter how hard you fought, the monsters were still too many.
- Merlok, we need nexo power! - You cried out, dodging Whiperella's whip.
- Of course. Prepare for the nexo scann!
- Merlok, Nexo Knights! - cried Aaron, and you all get the nexo power.
Well, almost all of you. You and Clay didn't receive any power.
- Merlok, we didn't get any power! What's going on? - said Clay as the two of you fended off monsters that surrounded you.
- We're working on it, Clay. I have a spell for you, that I haven't cast in years. - Merlok replied.
- You'd better hurry, cause monsters start to surround us! - you said.
- Get ready for the nexo scanner! - Merlok spoke up.
- Clay, (Y/N)! Raise the shields, here it comes! - Ava called out to you.
You and Clay looked at each other and nodded, sharing a determined smiles.
- Merlok, Nexo Knights!!!
You raised the shield and received the nexo power. You felt a wave of energy pass through you. One that made any fear of monsters instantly disappear. You felt so... magical. Clay felt it too, and you both threw your shield to the ground, tightening your grip on your swords.
You looked determinedly at monsters and just waited for them to make a move.
- Get them! - Jestro was heard shouting.
- Yep, turn them into a pile of caps! - the Book of Monsters shouted.
All in suspense, they waited and prayed that the spell would work. The monster of destruction jumped into the air and raised his fist to hit you. Clay stabbed his fist, causing a great force, knocking the monster far away from here.
You smiled impressed and looked at each other excited by the power of this force. You turned to the monstrous army, before striking.
- Get out of our kingdom!!!
The great power, when you struck repelled all the monsters' forces, turning them into mist.
- This land, will never be yours!!! - shouted Clay and also struck.
Jestro's Evil Moblie, under the influence of a wave of energy, flew far away from here. You looked at it with astonishment on your face and raised your helmet to see better. Everyone came closer to you.
- Woah, that was amazing! - gasped Macy.
- Brilliant power. - agreed Aaron.
- We're amazing!!! - you squealed excitedly.
King Halbert laughed. - I think we need to celebrate such a great victory!
- Well I think... They broke my arm... almost. - You said with a sarcastic smile. - As for you, Fox... you are dead! - You growled at Aaron.
Aaron was frightened and retreated on his board.
- What have I done to you!?
- For that... you stick with Merlok and act like my mom! And I... I don't like someone plotting against me! And decides for me! - you cried out like a little child, who was denied a toy.
- I'm already afraid of you. - he said, in a feigned frightened voice.
- You'd better be afraid. I still have that nexo power! Come here! - you called out and brandished your sword in a fighting gesture to scare him.
Aaron now got really tense and started running away from you on his shield, and you chased him for a while. All the knights laughed out loud at your childish behavior and Aaron's fear.
= Skipping time=
In the late afternoon, you all gathered in the capital for a celebration of victory over Jestro and his invasion. Knights stood on a platform in the tournament arena and faced the King and Queen Halbert.
- Dear residents of my beautiful kingdom. I present to you our heroes, the Nexo Knights! Here are our magnificent defenders of our Knighton. And now I will do the most important thing in my entire royal life. - said the king.
- Will you give me my own street? - Lance asked hopefully.
The King then took out his golden sword and approached Robin and Ava. He officially gave them the title of junior knights. Robin almost burst into tears with happines.
The king approached Macy, still holding his sword.
- Now. My most important moment in my royal life. Macy Halbert, princess of this land, today you proved your worth in battle and shone with your courage and dignity.
Macy listened to her father heavily confused, before her eyes shone as she realized.
- So I will rectify the great injustice and appoint you Knight Macy, protector of this land! - declared the king and placed his sword on Macy's shoulder.
Macy's eyes flashed with tears of emotion and she said, stuttering slightly.
- Dad, I mean, my king and ruler. I place my mace, my shield and my life in service to you.
- Stand up, knight Macy. - said the king and reached for Macy's new official shield. - It is with great pride that I present to you Macy Halbert, a true Nexo Knights of Knighton!
You pulled your nose and wiped away tears, like a proud mother, at her child's graduation.
- My little girl, already so grown up. - You groaned and pulled your nose again.
Aaron smiled and patted you on the shoulder, supporting you. Macy grinned broadly and walked over to you and stood facing the crowd.
- I'm a knight. A real Nexo Knight! - she called out joyfully.
- In a word, you rule! Because you're the one of coolest girl in the world. - Aaron said.
- I'm so proud of you, girl! - You said, smiling.
- I'll bake you a cake in your honor! And then I'll eat it in your honor. - said Axl.
- It's cool, that you're officially in the team. You've earned it. - Clay said.
- Now we can walk around knighting clubs together! You don't even know, what kind of connections I have. - boasted Lance.
Then Dennis called out to Lance to clean up the candles he had left behind. Part of his arrangement with Dennis was that she be his and Hamletta's servant once a week.
Fireworks suddenly began to explode in the sky. You smiled.
- I knew, Merlok would want to show off. - You muttered, looking at the fireworks display.
You could have swear you heard Merlok's laughter of joy from Fortrex.
- You know, Jestro and the Book of Monsters can still be dangerous. - Macy said.
- Yes, but we can handle it, together. As Nexo Knights. - said Clay and you all pointed your shields to the sky.
