The portal closed behind them.Kelvin opened his eyes.They were standing in an abandoned street.The old district.Broken buildings surrounded them.The streets were empty.Not a single person was outside.Kelvin looked around.“This is where the facility is?”The Shadow Heir nodded.“Beneath us.”Jacob looked at the cracked road.“You're telling me there's another laboratory under all this?”“Yes.”Adrian looked at the Shadow Heir.“How do we get inside?”The Shadow Heir pointed toward an old building.“That way.”They moved quickly.Kelvin stayed near the front.Gale walked behind him.For several minutes, nobody spoke.Then Kelvin stopped.He looked at Gale.“You knew my mother.”Gale stopped too.“Yes.”“What was her name?”Gale hesitated.“Amara.”Kelvin repeated the name quietly.“Amara.”Something stirred inside his mind.A woman's voice.A warm voice.“Kelvin, don't be afraid.”He grabbed his head.“Wait.”Leisa moved toward him.“What is it?”“I remember something.”The memo

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

“And now…”The Shadow Heir raised his hand.“…I am here to take it back.”Black energy rushed toward Kelvin.Kelvin crossed his arms.The impact sent him sliding across the floor.His boots dug into the stone.He stopped.The six powers around him flickered.The Shadow Heir smiled.“You cannot stop me.”Kelvin raised his head.“Then you should have taken it already.”The Shadow Heir disappeared.Kelvin turned.A fist struck his stomach.He was thrown backward.He crashed into a machine.The machine broke apart.“Kelvin!”Leisa ran toward him.The Shadow Heir appeared in front of her.Kelvin moved.He grabbed the Hunter's arm before he could strike.The Shadow Heir looked at him.“Faster.”Kelvin punched him.The Shadow Heir blocked.Kelvin attacked again.The Shadow Heir blocked again.Their movements became faster.Punch.Block.Kick.Dodge.Strike.The room shook with every impact.Jacob pulled Leisa away.“Stay back!”Gale watched carefully.“He's testing Kelvin.”Adrian looked at

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

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SEVENKelvin was falling.There was no ground.No walls.No sound.Only darkness.He tried to move his arms.Nothing happened.He tried to shout.No sound came out.Then a light appeared below him.He looked down.A small child stood in the middle of the darkness.Kelvin stopped falling.The child looked familiar.Too familiar.Kelvin stared at him.the semblance it beared with him was uncanny.A younger version of himself perhaps Maybe six years old.The child was standing alone.His clothes dirty.His face covered with tears.Kelvin slowly moved toward him.“Kelvin?”The child looked up.“Who are you?”Kelvin stopped.“I’m…”He couldn't finish.The child stared at him.“You look like a lot like me.”Kelvin nodded.“I know.”“Are you here to save me?”Kelvin's chest tightened.“I don't know.”The child looked down.“They always say someone is coming.”“Who?”“The people.”Kelvin looked around.“What people?”The child pointed behind him.Kelvin turned.

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX“Kelvin!”Vella's scream echoed through his body.Kelvin dropped to his knees.He grabbed his chest.“Vella!”Pain exploded through him.The black symbol burned brighter.The six powers inside him began moving at the same time.Fire.Water.Wind.Earth.Light.Shadow.They were no longer separate.They were fighting.Kelvin slammed his fist into the ground.“Get out of my head!”Vella's voice came again.“I can't!”Kelvin froze.“What?”“I can't leave.”The chamber shook.A crack opened across the ceiling.Pieces of stone fell around him.Kelvin pushed himself up.“Why can't you leave?”Silence.Then Vella answered.“Because I sealed myself inside you.”Kelvin stared at the black symbol.“You did what?”“I knew they would come for you.”“Who?”“The people who created you.”Kelvin's breathing became heavier.“So you put yourself inside me to protect me?”“Yes.”“Then why didn't you tell me?”“Because if you remembered…”Vella's voice broke.“They woul
