Dawn's P.O.V

'GUYS! BIG PROBLEM! BIG PROBLEM!' I screamed in my head. In front of my was none other then Cynthia Shirona. 'Dawn! What happened?!' May asked. 'CYNTHIA SHIRONA IS HERE! SH*T! WE'RE DEAD! DEAD! I REPEAT DEAD!' I screeched.

"Miss.Shirona, what are you doing here?" Gary asked. "I'm here to see where you boys headed off to, only to find a hybrid." Cynthia said. My eyes widened as I stepped back. All of a sudden, the barrier felt useless to have. No offense Rei, but your barrier could easily break with only one touch with this woman.

"How did you know?" I asked cautiously. Cynthia let out a stifled laugh, "It was a hunch. Your spirit gem gave it away however." Cynthia explained. My hands automatically flew to my gold hair clips which indeed did fell a bit warm. "Why does it always react like that..." I muttered a bit annoyed.

"I must admit however, who ever created this barrier must be a prodigy if my elite students couldn't break it." Cynthia praised. Cynthia raised her hands, which started to glow a dark gray. Rei's barrier revealed itself with a bright flash before breaking into a million pieces and falling on the ground. The pieces glowed before turning into dust. My eyes widened even more.

It took Rei to cast that barrier for 5 hours. An additional 30 minutes for Leaf's earth enchantment. Not to mention always having to feed off of Rei's magic just to keep itself up. Now here it is, gone in a matter of 2 seconds. Poof.

Fantastic.

"Now. Be a good girl and come with us. We won't hurt you." Cynthia said with the guys by her side. I took a step back, scared by their intimidating auras. 'Rei? Rei?! Come in Rei!?' I screamed in my mind. I glared at the people in front of me. They were tampering with Rei's magic! This is bad! Very bad!

I can't use my magic or else I'll end up hurting those boys! That's the last thing I want...

All of a sudden that Ash kid came running up to me trying to seize me since I made no movement to come to them. Without thinking I grabbed Ash's wrist, pulled him towards me, then punched him square in the face. I kneed his stomach before flipping him over me and then slinging him towards his friends. The boys and Cynthia seemed momentarily surprised.

That Daichi kid ran at me with his magic infused sword. I dodged every single blow he did but I failed to miss his last one. The sword slashed at me but didn't make a single cut. I felt the pain however. I screamed in agony as I punched him all the way back to Drew. His sword was infused by his magic, thus making it where the enemy feels the pain, but doesn't get an injury at all.

Paul rushed up to me attempting to punch me but I quickly blocked and kick his stomach. We began a grueling hand to hand combat battle which resulted to Paul as the victor. I was sent flying back to Gary who punched my stomach. I spat out a bit of blood as I, again, flew towards another direction. I landed on the ground and I staggered back up. Drew sent explosions over at me.

I however, only smirked.

I absorbed the explosions just as they blew up. My wounds healed and I felt perfectly fine. "What..." Drew trailed of. Ash sent lightning bolt towards me but they also ended up exploding when they struck the ground. I absorbed those explosions too. "Explosions don't work on her!" Conbolt yelled.

I raised up my arm, a magic circle appeared. "Boom!" I yelled. Dark beams shot out of the magic circle aiming for the guys. They all dodged but ended up getting caught in an explosion.

The guys all got knocked back. In the corner of my eyes I saw Conbolt creating a magic circle. The tree behind him lifted it's roots and sprung out on me. I got hit with the tree roots and was sent lying back. As I flew back onto a tree I got hit with a attack from Drew and Paul causing me to skid back.

Nobody's P.O.V

"Tch. Troublesome." Paul said as he stepped forward. Before anything could happen Dawn glowed a light purple. Dawn levitated off the ground and quickly flew over to where Leaf and Rei was. Cynthia raised one of her delicate eyebrows. So her friends show them self now.

"Poor Dawn. Seems like that grape is a shadow user and was manipulating the shadows to his will." Leaf sighed. "I already knew that. But someone was messing with my powers so I couldn't tell Dawn." Rei growled. Rei hates it when people mess with her magic. "Who are you two!?" Ash shouted.

"Forget that!" Rei yelled, "My f*cking barrier is gone!! Do you know how long it took me to make that thing!" "So that was your barrier?" Conbolt questioned. "Well duh! I'm the only psychic here! Am I not!?" Rei raged.

"Just who are you guys!" Gary yelled.

"Us?" Leaf laughed, her eyes glowing red, "We're the sisters of Dawn. The girl you just hurt." "And because of hurting Dawn. We shall punish you." Rei added, her blue eyes changed to purple. The boys backed up a bit. Rei stomped her right foot causing the ground to rumble. Leaf snapped her fingers. Rain clouds quickly grew above the forest and rain drops fell.

Cynthia's eyes widened as she saw a plant shrivel by a drop of the 'rain'. "Boys! The rain is toxic!" Cynthia yelled. The boys eyes widened and Leaf's grin grew wider. Thunder boomed across the sky. The wind became harsh and cold. A huge magic circle appeared underneath Leaf's feet, electricity sprawling out of the magic circle.

'That girl...' Cynthia thought, 'She has the power to control the weather.' Leaf slapped her hands together and 4 miniature tornados grew instantly by her side. Leaf flung her right arm forward and the tornados spun towards the boys.

"Enough!" Cynthia yelled making the tornados stop, the acid rain disappear, and the thunder quiet down. Leaf gaped as her eyes quickly turned back to green. Leaf fell on her knees. "Leaf!? What did you do!" Rei yelled. Rei's eyes turned into a darker shade of purple. A giant purple see-through hand materialized out of Rei's magic, sprouted out from the ground and launched itself towards Cynthia.

Cynthia narrowed her eyes and only extended her hand to touch the big hand. The hand immediately disappeared. The guys looked towards at the three girls in front of them. Rei, still shocked at what happened before Conbolt ran behind her and knocked her out with a branch.

"What should we do with them?" Drew asked. "Let's take them back-" "Wait! Don't touch them!" May yelled, jumping out of the tree house landing in front of her sisters. May had her arms spread out in a protecting manor.

"Another on?" Drew groaned. May sent him a glare. "Calm down now. We aren't going to do anything to them." Cynthia explained. "What'd you do to Leaf and Rei!" May yelled. "I just put them to sleep. About the other girl, I am sorry, but she wouldn't obey." Cynthia explained. May snickered, "Of course she wouldn't obey you. You broke our only means of protection and with your demanding auras, who wouldn't?"

Cynthia let out a light laugh, "I suppose that's true. But mind telling us your name and why there's four young maidens out here alone?" May looked at Cynthia, determining whether she was trust worthy. 'She's the headmaster of HPA... Her aura seems nice as well...' May thought.

"Actually my other sister is in that tree house." May corrected. "Is she in there?" Ash asked, pointing at the treehouse. "Yes. And if you so dare try to go look at her, I won't hesitate to drop you in hell." May growled. "I take it your the oldest." Gary guessed.

"No. Third oldest actually." May said. "You didn't answer Miss.Shirona's question you know." Daichi pointed out. "The names May. And the reason why we're out here is because we live here. Simple as that." May admitted.

"You five live in there?" Gary asked shocked. "Tch. Yeah." May said. "Ok. Is the one in the tree house the youngest then? Is that why she's not out here because you said so?" Conbolt asked. May shook her head, "Your way off. She's actually the oldest and even if she could come out, she couldn't." "Why's that?" Cynthia asked. "She's sick." May blurted. Honestly, she had no idea why she was saying all these things to these people.

"Sick? How sick?" Cynthia asked. May gave her an uncomfortable look. "Alright, nevermind. But are you and the other girl in the treehouse Hybrids?" Cynthia asked. May slowly nodded.

"Tell you what. Why don't you and your sisters come with me to HPA where you all could clean up your appearances and your oldest sister could get healed." Cynthia offered. "E-eh?" May gasped. "We'll even see whether you all could join. Of course it's up to you if you even want to go to HA. Or if you even want to go with us at all." Cynthia smiled.

"WHAT!?" The boys yelled.

"Why are you doing this?" May asked slowly. "Well, it wouldn't be very nice to leave such young girls out alone. Now would it?" Cynthia said. May was deep into her thought. If only Leaf was awake.

"W-we'll go." A raspy voice said.

May whipped her head towards the tree house and gasped, "Misty!"
