Kelvin opened his eyes.The first thing he heard was someone shouting.“GET AWAY FROM HIM!”Then a loud crash.Kelvin pushed himself up.He was back in the laboratory.But everything had changed.The walls were cracked, machines destroyed.Smoke filled the room.And Jacob was fighting one of the Shadow Hunters.Kelvin stood.“Jacob!”Jacob turned.His eyes widened.“Kelvin!”The Shadow Hunter attacked him.Kelvin moved.He crossed the room in an instant.His fist struck the Hunter's chest.The creature flew backward and crashed into the wall.Jacob stared at Kelvin.“What happened to you?”Kelvin looked at his hands.“I don't know.”The black symbol on his chest was still glowing.Gale approached carefully.“Kelvin.”Kelvin turned.Gale's face was covered in blood.“You're alive.”Kelvin nodded.“So are you.”Gale gave a tired smile.“Barely.”Leisa rushed toward Kelvin.“I thought we lost you.”Kelvin looked at her.“I'm sorry.”She shook her head.“Don't apologize. Just don't disapp

The black energy rushed toward Kelvin.He raised both hands.The six powers exploded from his body.Fire.Water.Wind.Earth.Light.Shadow.The attack collided with the Shadow Heir.BOOM!The laboratory shook.Kelvin slid backward.His boots cut through the floor.The Shadow Heir didn't move.He slowly lowered his hand.“You still don't understand.”Kelvin breathed heavily.“Then explain it.”The Shadow Heir stepped forward.“The seventh was never yours.”Kelvin's eyes narrowed.“You put it inside me.”“Yes.”“Then why didn't you take it before?”“Because it was asleep.”Kelvin looked at the black symbol on his chest.“And now?”The Shadow Heir smiled.“Now it has awakened.”He disappeared.Kelvin turned.A fist struck his stomach.He flew across the room.“Kelvin!”Leisa ran toward him.The Shadow Heir appeared beside her.Kelvin saw him.“GET AWAY FROM HER!”Kelvin moved.He reached them just as the Shadow Heir attacked.Kelvin blocked the strike.The force pushed both of them apar

Kelvin hit the floor hard.“Mom!”He pushed himself up.Smoke covered everything.“Mom!”No answer.Kelvin ran toward the broken chamber.The glass was gone.The machines were still running.Amara was gone.Kelvin stopped.“No.”He searched through the smoke.“Mom!”A hand grabbed his shoulder.He spun around.The Shadow Heir stood behind him.“Don't.”Kelvin shoved him away.“Let me go!”“She isn't there.”“You don't know that!”“I do.”Kelvin's eyes burned.“Then where is she?”The Shadow Heir looked toward the machines.“They moved her.”“Where?”“I don't know.”Kelvin grabbed his armor.“You said you knew this place!”“I knew the old facility.”Kelvin pushed him away.“And you knew my mother.”“Yes.”“Then find her!”The Shadow Heir stared at him.“You're losing control.”Kelvin's hands began glowing.“I'm not.”The floor cracked beneath his feet.The Shadow Heir looked down.“You are.”Kelvin looked at his hands.The six powers were moving around him.Fire.Water.Wind.Earth.Li

Kelvin ran.The others followed.The underground chamber was already beginning to collapse behind them.Chunks of stone fell from the ceiling.Metal pipes burst from the walls.Black energy raced through the cracks in the floor.Jacob looked back.“Are we sure going back to the old district is a good idea?”“No,” Kelvin answered.Jacob blinked.“That was quick.”“We don't have another choice.”Adrian was running beside them.“The second point is probably connected to the first.”“Probably?” Jacob asked.Adrian looked at him.“We don't have time for perfect information.”Gale suddenly stopped.Everyone nearly crashed into him.He raised his staff.“Quiet.”Kelvin listened.Nothing.Then—A scratching sound came from behind the wall.Leisa stepped closer to Kelvin.“What's that?”Gale's eyes narrowed.“They followed us.”The wall exploded.Three Shadow Hunters came through.Kelvin moved first.His fist struck the nearest Hunter.The creature flew backward.Another Hunter swung a blade a

The anchor cracked.Kelvin didn't move.Neither did anyone else.A deep growl came from inside the darkness.The crack widened.Black energy poured across the floor.Jacob stepped backward.“Kelvin…”“I know.”Another crack appeared.Then another.The entire anchor began breaking apart.Gale raised his staff.“Everyone get behind me.”Leisa moved beside Jacob.Adrian grabbed the control panel.“I'm shutting everything down!”The machines exploded with sparks.Adrian jumped back.“It won't respond!”The anchor shook.A hand pushed through the crack.Kelvin stared.The hand was enormous.Its fingers were covered in black energy.Gale's expression changed.“Move!”The anchor exploded.A wave of darkness threw everyone across the chamber.Kelvin slammed into the wall.Jacob crashed onto the floor.Leisa rolled across the ground.Adrian disappeared beneath a fallen metal panel.Gale landed on one knee.The chamber fell silent.Kelvin slowly lifted his head.Dust filled the air.Something w
