Heroes Adventure

Chapter 10: Backstabber

One day, Sam received a message to meet up with the new Elemental Masters, which are now led by the kids of the previous Elemental Masters. Sam decided to bring his wife, Iris, and his sisters, Leah and Athena, along with their partners, David and Zack to meet up with the Masters at a kingdom called Solaris.

When they arrived at Solaris Castle, they're being greeted by the new Solar Master and Princess of Solaris, Princess Ryna, who is also to be Sam's old friend from primary school.

"Welcome guys! I'm glad all of you received our message", said Ryna.

"Ryna?! It's been so long! How are you?!", said Sam.

"Sam! I'm fine. Yeah, it's been so long since we didn't meet each other. I think the last time was when we finished primary school?"

"Yeah, and then you have to go back to Solaris to learn on to administrate your kingdom. Anyways, are you the new Elemental Master? Since when?"

"Well, after my father passed away, I'm the one in charge of Solaris, and also the descendent of the Elemental Master of Solar power."

"I see. By the way, I bring some people. This is my wife, Iris, and right over there are my sisters, Leah and Athena, with their partners, David and Zack."

"It's nice to meet all of you. Come on in, we're going to conduct the meeting very soon. The other Elemental Masters have already arrived."

Sam and his team then followed Princess Ryna to the meeting room. All of them sit down and have a meeting with the new Elemental Masters.

"Good day everyone! My name is Princess Ryna, Princess of Solaris, and also the Solar Elemental Master. I'm going to be the leader of our meeting today. Right over there is Master Lucas, the Earth Master and also the leader of Elemental Masters, Master Will (Wind Master), Master Lucas (Thunder Master), Master Elijah (Psychic Master), Master Sophia (Ice Master), Master Isabella (Water Master) and Master Nicole (Plant Master). We're gathering here today to discuss on what is the future of the Heroes team and also most importantly Sam, as he holds all 9 Elemental powers", said Ryna.

"So, regarding Sam, we found out that our parents, which were the past Elemental Masters, fused their powers with you. We as their children hope that you can protect the Elemental powers, even though Carla is now gone forever from the galaxy. Remember, there are still people out there that want these powers for themselves. If it falls to the wrong side, a lot of consequences could happen", said Lucas.

"I promise, Masters, that I will protect these powers like how I take care of my own life. And I promise that I will use these powers for good purposes, to help people in the galaxy if they need our help", said Sam.

"Very well then. Now, let's talk about the Heroes team. We saw a lot of events happen, and you guys managed to overcome all of that with teamwork, which made us all really impressed seeing it. So, we have decided to work together with all of you as the advisor of the team", said Lucas.

"Other than the Royal Family becoming your advisors, we would like to take the opportunity to become your team advisors, since some of you guys have Elemental powers, and you might need us for some advice on some issues", said Sophia.

"We accepted your proposal to be our advisors, and we would like to thank all of you for trusting us on this", said Sam.

"You're one of the best superhero teams out there, Sam, of course, we will trust you. Your team is the one who eliminates Carla, the evilest villain we've ever had in the whole galaxy. And now, the galaxy is in peace, but still, evil is still roaming out there. I believe you all can handle it", said Ryna.

"Alright. Let's continue our meeting to discuss the Heroes team representation to speak up on the next thing they want to do after Carla is defeated", said Master Lucas.

Sam is then giving out a brief to all Elemental Masters on what they're going to do next such as continue to guard the galaxy and help the Zagary safety force to prevent crimes in Zagary.

After an hour of meeting, the Elemental Masters returned to their kingdom, while the Heroes team returned back to Zagary. Before they leave, Ryna asked Sam if he and the others could stay for a little bit to have a tour of Solaris.

"Hey, Sam! I am wondering if you guys could stay here for a little bit. Maybe I can show you around my kingdom", said Ryna.

"Hey, Ryna! Yeah, of course! Besides, it's been a long time since we didn't meet each other. I guess we could stay here for a little bit", said Sam.

Sam and his team then go for a tour with Ryna on Solaris. But at the same time, Sam's little sister, Athena, has a little bit suspicious of Ryna.

"Hey, sis! I don't know why, but I'm a little bit suspicious of Ryna", said Athena to Leah.

"Why do you think like that, sis?", asked Leah.

"I don't know, sis. I just...have a bad feeling. I feel like...Ryna has some bad intentions toward our brother."

"Hmm. I also have the same feeling as you, sis. But to me, she looks fine. She's also our brother's old friend. But I think we still need to keep an eye out for her. She must have a hidden agenda towards our brother, and maybe for Iris as well."

Ryna then tours Sam and his teammates Solaris Castle, when suddenly some intruders who seem like a troop of guards come and attack all of them.

"What?! How are they coming here passing out guards?! Are they all being defeated by these people?", said Ryna in confusion.

"These guards are not part of yours, right?", asked Leah.

"No! I don't know any of these guards", said Ryna.

"Guys, let's work together to defeat all of them. And also, protect Ryna as well. They might come for her", said Sam.

Sam and his teammates then start to counterattack those guards. When Ryna and Sam move forward, suddenly they see someone standing quite a distance from them.

"Wait...Revon?! How did you...?!", said Ryna in confusion.

"What? Who is that Ryna?", asked Sam.

"His name is Revon. He's well known for his destruction in our kingdom and also our biggest enemy. He should be long gone because my father defeated him."

"Don't worry, Ryna. I'll handle this."

"Wait! He's too strong for you, Sam. You can't defeat him! He has Solar power the same as you, but the power is way stronger than you. My father has also been defeated by him a couple of times."

"I'll try my best, Ryna."

Sam then has a fight with Revon, and both of them have a neck and neck on battling because both of them have the same strength of using Solar power. After a while, Sam feels that his energy is getting lower, which causes him almost be stabbed by Revon. Ryna then has an idea to help Sam. She takes out her sword and passes it to Sam to use it.

"Sam, catch this!", shouted Ryna.

Sam then grabbed the sword and asked, "A sword? What for?"

"Fuse your Solar power to the sword. That way you can defeat him with a blink of your eyes."

"Alright then. Here goes nothing."

Sam then fuses some of his Solar power into the sword. He then levitates and is ready to finish off Revon.

"Well then, now let's end all of this!", said Sam.

Sam moves forward to Revon fast, which also makes Revon didn't have time to defend himself. He slashes him with the Solar sword, and this makes Ryna impressed to see Sam's power.

"Interesting! So that is the strength of his Solar powers", said Ryna in her heart.

Soon after, Revon has been defeated by Sam using the Solar sword that Ryna gave to him. Ryna then comes forward to Sam.

"Wow, that was a strong power right there! I'm really impressed to see it, Sam", said Ryna.

"Thanks. It's actually nothing, really. It's all thanks to you too. You gave me this sword, and it's really useful to defeat him."

"Yeah. But actually, you know what, this sword not only works to defeat enemies."

"Wait...what do you mean by that?"

Sam then feels uneasy, which feels like there is a force on him.

"This sword is also used...to suck up all of your Solar powers", said Ryna with she's smiling evilly at Sam.

Sam is confused about what Ryna is talking about when suddenly the sword starts to suck out all of Sam's Solar power, which makes him start to yell for help in pain.

Leah and Athena then heard their brother's screaming, and both of them hurriedly go to check up on him. When they arrived, both of them are shocked to see their brother is in trouble, and also they saw that Ryna is looking at their brother, not helping him at all. They now realize that Ryna is the person who makes his brother like that.

"You! I knew it! I knew you were going to do something bad to our brother. What did you do?!", mad Athena.

"Let our brother go! Or else...", said Leah.

"Or else what? Stop me? It's too late for that. Once this is done, the Solar power will be returned to its owner again, and no one can take it away again", said Ryna.

"You such a greedy woman! You have your own, and now you want to steal from our brother?!", mad Leah.

"Steal?! These powers are from my father! I should the one to have it, not him! Why he broke his promise?! Why he gave out his power to him, and not me?! This is why I did this to him!"

Leah and Athena then feel enraged and starts to attack Ryna. Unfortunately, Ryna is very agile and she managed to dodge every single Leah and Athena attack.

"Agh! I can't hold it much longer. Someone...please help me!", shouted Sam.

Then, a burst occurred where Sam then collapse to the ground, while Leah and Athena received the impact of the burst, which cause both of them to fall as well. Meanwhile, Ryna moves forward and takes back her sword, which now consumes Sam's Solar power.

"Finally! The Solar power is returned to its owner", said Ryna.

Then, Iris, David, and Zack come to rescue Sam, Leah, and Athena. David throws a smoke bomb at Ryna so that they can teleport back to Zagary. Then, Ryna's soldiers come to rescue her.

"Your Highness, are you okay?", asked one of the Solaris's soldiers.

"Yes, I'm fine. I finally got what I need", said Ryna.

"Do you want us to hunt them down?"

"No! There's no need to do that for now. I assure you they will come back here to reclaim this sword. And when they do, I will make sure to finish them off once and for all. After that, the Elemental Masters will be powerful and in charge to protect the galaxy. I will bring back the peace and balance of the galaxy!"

"All hail Princess Ryna!", shouted all Solaris's soldiers. 

Back at Zagary, the Heroes team arrived safely. Iris, David, and Zack then asked what happened with them all just now.

"Guys, what happened just now?", asked Zack.

"It's Ryna! She's backstabbing us! She's not a nice person. She steal our brother's Solar power and now it's on her", said Athena.

"That's true. She wants the power for herself, and she said that he doesn't deserve to have that power", said Leah.

Then, all of them heard Sam moaning, which makes all of them look at Sam, that is accompanied by Iris.

"Honey? Honey? Are you awake?", asked Iris.

Sam then open his eyes and said, "Darling? Guys? Where...where are we?"

"We're back here in Zagary. We... we're just being attacked by Ryna and her guards", said David.

Sam then remembered and try to use his Solar power, but it didn't work because Ryna already took his powers.

"My...my Solar power...is gone", said Sam.

"Yes. That's because Ryna took away your Solar power, brother. She tricked you by giving her sword for you to defeat Revon, but actually, that sword makes your power sucked into the sword. Now, she has that sword in her hand", said Leah.

Sam then is shocked by what Leah said and is disbelieving what happened.

"I...I can't believe it. She...she set me up. I thought...I thought that we were friends. I trusted her, but...she backstabbed me", said Sam in an upset tone.

"I knew she must have a bad intention on you, brother", said Athena.

"Why? Why she's doing this to me?", asked Sam.

"She said that her father supposedly gave out his powers to her, but eventually, he gave out the powers to you, and not to her, which makes her really angry at her father and you. That's why she's set you up by defeating Revon using her sword, which can also absorb all of your Solar power, brother. She's having revenge on you all this time, but you didn't realize it, even us too", explained Leah.

"Sigh, I should've known she will do this to me."

"So, what are you going to do now, honey?", asked Iris.

"I will fight her back. Even if she's my old friend, she has betrayed me. I won't be going to give her any mercy. I had promised the previous Elemental Masters, that I will protect the powers. I will never give up to take back what is mine", said Sam.

"That's our brother! What are we waiting for? Let's start to plan to defeat that traitor. We also need to inform the Elemental Masters as well on this. Let them decide on what punishment she should get", said Leah.

The Heroes team then conducts a sudden meeting to discuss their plan to defeat Ryna and her Solaris guards. Sam explained to his team members on how to sneak into Solaris since they were all being hunted by Ryna.

"Okay guys, so Ryna might have put us on their kingdom's wanted list. That means we're really in big trouble if we just strike on to Solaris. So, my idea is we use our teleporter to teleport to Solaris castle without the guard's knowledge. Of course, when we come in later, we're gonna get exposed. But, we can still fight and defeat them together, and I need you guys to work together with me so that we can take them down and bring back our team's dignity. If our people knew about this, it's gonna be terrible, but luckily they didn't know anything about this, and also about the masks incident. We keep this secret so that our people won't worry or fear because we can handle this. We're the Heroes team, and we're sticking together no matter what happens. So everyone, go get some rest. Tomorrow we will discuss the strategy and practice a little bit, and then the next day, we will strike them!"

The Heroes team agreed on his plan, and the next day, they were preparing themselves to have a battle with Ryna and her soldiers. 

A night before the Heroes team is going to Solaris, Sam is sitting by himself inside his room before his bedtime, holding a photo frame. The photo he's holding is his picture with Ryna back when both of them are practicing their Elemental powers at Solaris. He's then having a flashback of when both Sam and Ryna were best friends during their primary school life.

That time, Sam visits Ryna at Solaris to practice his Elemental powers. Both of them are really agile and control their powers very well. At one time, Sam uses his Solar power to defeat Ryna, but Ryna is a trickster, where she managed to dodge Sam's attack, and then sneak beside Sam, defeating him by making him slip to the ground using her leg.

"Hey, that's not fair!", mad Sam.

"That's called a 'strategic attack', Sam", said Ryna.

"Oh yeah?! That's cheating, you know?!"

"Aww, looks like someone is really upset that he's lost. Hahahaha!"

Sam is really angry towards Ryna, but then Ryna's father, King Oliver, came towards them to stop their fight.

"Guys, please stop it. Ryna, you shouldn't be acted like that toward Sam. This is just training, not a real fight", said King Maximus.

"But dad, if I didn't teach him, he will never move forward. He just simply said that he's the next Elemental Masters, but with this kind of strategy, he will never get ahead", said Ryna.

Suddenly, Sam grabbed Ryna and caused Ryna to be backflipped and fall to the ground.

"Am I getting ahead now?!", asked Sam.

"Heh, not just yet. That's just a little bit of 'strategic attack' I see from you", said Ryna.

Ryna then throws a punch toward Sam's body, which causes Sam to fall to the ground. This caused Sam to be much angry towards Ryna, while Ryna laughed at him. But then, King Oliver asked both of them to stop the fight and training.

"Sigh. That's it, guys. That's enough of the training today", said King Oliver.

Ryna then gives a hand to help Sam stands up.

"Well, I'm sorry for all of my actions towards you. I hope, you can forgive me as well?", said Ryna.

"All right, I forgave you. And I'm sorry as well for being tempered just now. You did a good job with your 'strategic attack'. Maybe I should learn more from you on that after this", said Sam.

"Sure! I love to teach you about that. Maybe it will useful for you in the future because you know, our enemies will always have unexpected strategies to take us down, and we must have one as well."

"You're right. I guess I'm not getting ahead yet. But don't worry, I will make sure that my dream...I mean, our dream to become the best Elemental Master is achieved."

"Wow! I thought you won't gonna mention me."

"You also will be the descendent of the Elemental Master, while I hold all 9 Elemental powers, so...it's a win-win for us."

"So we're cool now?!"

"Yeah, we're cool!"

Sam and Ryna then shake their hands as a signal that both of these friends are chill. King Oliver is happy to see both of them have stopped arguing.

Back to reality, Iris goes inside the bedroom, and senses that her husband, Sam is in there.

"Honey?! You didn't sleep yet?", asked Iris.

Sam neither answers nor realizes that his wife is in a room with him.

Iris then keeps calling Sam, "Honey? Honey? Honey!"

Sam then is snapped back to reality after hearing Iris pat his shoulder and shout his name.

"Oh! Darling?! I'm...I'm so sorry. I was...out of the zone just now. That's why I can't hear you calling me", said Sam.

"What are you thinking, honey? Are you still thinking of Ryna?"

"Sigh. You wanna know something, darling? Ryna is the closest friend I had before I met you in high school. When I'm in high school, she was really busy with her royal lesson, so I can't visit her that much. I still remember our moment together when we were practicing our Elemental powers, and it's really a memory that I never forget. But now, she's betrayed me. She just using me so that she can get my Solar power for herself. But, why did she do that for? I known her for years, she's a good girl and a good leader, but...why she suddenly acted like this?"

"Maybe...there's something happened to her? Or maybe to her family?"

"I...I don't know. She didn't tell me anything these few years because we lost contact. I know that her father passed away because I meet up with him and other Elemental Masters that have deceased in the Spirit World before. Maybe...maybe that's why she changed a lot."

"Well, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's have some rest. Tomorrow it's the day you will gain back your Solar power."

"All right. I think about her too much. I really need some rest for tomorrow. Let's hope we can defeat Ryna and the others tomorrow."

"I assure you we can defeat them, honey. As you said, if we work together, we can defeat them."

The next day, the Heroes team is ready to go to Solaris using the teleporter that has been built inside the castle. They then arrive at Solaris castle back entrance, where they directly took out the guards at that location. When they had done that, suddenly, they saw a live broadcast of an event that is happening at their location, and they realize the event is the coronation ceremony of Princess Ryna.

"Citizens of Solaris, in today's historical day and moment, I would like to introduce the new ruler of Solaris! She's the daughter of King Oliver, one of the bravest and most notable Elemental Masters, she's also the descendent of Solar Elemental Master, the real owner of Solar Elemental power, present to you, Queen Ryna!"

Ryna then goes forward to the balcony of the castle, with her citizens witnessing her coronation ceremony. Ryna that's wearing her special armor, picks up the sword that's containing Sam's Solar power and holds it to the sky. A light from the sky then beamed to the sword, which makes everyone is cheering and shouting "Long live Queen Ryna!".

"My citizens! A few years ago, my father has done a lot of things to protect our kingdom from any threats. As you all know, Carla is our biggest threat, not just us, but I believe the whole galaxy. There's a team that is given a mission to protect the galaxy, and that is the Heroes team, but unfortunately, they didn't want to cooperate with us the Elemental Masters, which made me, the leader, so upset with their attitude."

"No way! She's humiliating us in front of her citizens!", mad Athena.

"We thought that they can protect us as well, but it looks like I was wrong. For these past centuries, we have lost a lot of our loved ones at the hand of the evil witch, Carla Sansone. And also, for these past centuries, our kingdom never get its peace because of the chaos in the administration, and also the people. But today, I shall make that change, and I promise to all of you that I'm going to make a change for the better, and make sure that people across the galaxy know and bow to the power of Solaris, even without the help of Heroes team!

The Solaris citizens are cheering after the speech from Ryna. This made the Heroes team really angry as Ryna spread misinformation and hate toward her citizens towards them.

The Heroes team then begins to attack the guards inside the castle so that Ryna will realize that they have arrived, which is actually work. Ryna found out that the castle has been breached by the Heroes team.

"Guards, take down the Heroes team! I will retreat to my throne room. Make sure you all defeated them", said Ryna.

Ryna then bows to her people and directly walks to the throne room to get ready for the attack by the Heroes team.

The Heroes team still continues to fight off the guards. Sam, Iris, Leah, and Athena run to the throne room to locate Ryna, while also defeating the guards on their way.

When they're on the third floor of the castle, they see Ryna walking past a hallway. The guards that accompany Ryna then attack Sam, Iris, Leah, and Athena at Ryna's command. Sam tells Iris and his sisters that he will go after Ryna himself.

"Girls, I will go after Ryna", said Sam.

"Are you sure you can handle her on your own?", asked Leah.

"Yes, sis. If I need any help, I will make a telepathic call to Athena", said Sam.

"Be careful there, honey", said Iris.

"I will. You too, darling", said Sam.

Iris, Leah, and Athena continue to defeat the guards, while Sam is going after Ryna.

After a while, he arrived at the throne room, where Ryna is standing looking out a window.

"Well, you came. I thought that you won't", said Ryna.

"Hmph. I thought you knew that I will definitely come back for my power", said Sam.

"Heh, of course, I know. That's why I have prepared for this."

"Why do you doing this, Ryna? I thought we were friends."

"Heh, friends?! Do you know that I'm really jealous of you since we were in primary school? Do you want to know why? You are always loved by everyone in our school and the same thing for your sisters! How about me?! I'm a princess, but no one ever wanted to care for me, except for my parents!"

"What are you talking about? I do care about you, Ryna." 

"Liar! You always entertained the others. Me? You don't even care about me!"

"No, Ryna! I do care about you."

"Not only that, but you are also the reason my parents died!"

"Wait...what?!"

"My parents passed away in a battle with Carla, which makes me really upset and mad."

"Oh no...I'm...so sorry, Ryna. I didn't know at all."

"Heh, didn't know at all?!"

"I know that your father passed away, but I didn't know that your mother passed away as well, and I didn't even know both of them died at the hand of Carla."

Ryna then becomes so angry and shouts to Sam, "You're the reason why my parents died!"

"What?! What are you talking about?"

"This...whole Carla thing, it all begins from you guys! If your grandparents didn't initiate war with the Natureribe, our galaxy will be in peace, there will be no Carla, there will be no people coming for the Elemental powers, and my parents will be still alive right now!"

"Oh, so you're saying that my parents and ancestors are the reason for all this happened?! Ryna, they're innocent, they didn't even know this will happened at all!"

"Heh, says someone who is also involved in this as well."

"Alright, now you have crossed the line, Ryna! Don't you ever mention my family in this matter! Once I get back my power, I will finish you off once and for all."

"Enough! I had enough. Don't you even dare to get back your power. The power is mine! I should the one to have this power, not you! My father broke his promise. He told me that he will pass his powers to me as I'm the descendant of Solar Masters, but apparently, he changed his mind and gave it to you. What's so special about you until everyone cares about you so much?!"

"He must give it to me for a reason, Ryna. He give it to me to defeat Carla, and I did. Now, I keep his promise to protect this power as how I protect my life. He must have a reason to not give it to you."

Ryna then becomes so angry and directly starts to attack Sam with her Solar power. Sam is shocked by Ryna's action and manages to dodge her attack.

"So, you wanna fight then? All right then, I'm going to take back my power a hard way", said Sam.

Sam then counterattacks Ryna using his other 8 elemental powers. Both of them have an intense fight, until one time Sam is losing focus, which gives Ryna an opportunity to take him out. She went to Sam's back and knock him out with her hand hitting his neck.

Leah, Athena, and Iris that just arrived to help Sam after defeating all guards are shocked to see the situation. Iris goes to Sam to see his condition, while Leah and Athena have a fight with Ryna.

"Honey?! Honey, please wake up. All of us need you right now. You can't give up just yet. Ryna still has your Solar power. You need to get it back before she does anything that is out of our control. Please, honey. I know you are still in there, and I know you can hear me. I'm begging you, if you're in there, you need to wake up. Fight for your justice", cried Iris.

Meanwhile, in the spirit world, Sam is awake in that dimension, where he also meets up with Master Oliver, the previous Solar Master, and also Ryna's father.

"Master! I... I'm so sorry. I failed to protect your power. Now, the power is in the power of Ryna. She's too strong. I don't know if I can defeat her", said Sam in an upset tone.

"Sam, the reason I give you my powers is that I see some good in you. You're kind and brave. You also can be trusted as well, and you even keep your promise. You must be wondering, why I don't pass my power to my daughter. Because of her right now. She's too greedy of wanting more power than she has right now. That's why she's tricked you by telling you to fuse your power into her sword. It's not your fault, Sam. It's my fault. I should've known she would have revenge on you because I gave you my powers, and not to her", explained Master Oliver.

"Master, I...I don't know how to get back my power. She's really full of tricks."

"You have your team, Sam. You know how to defeat her together. Just have faith and teamwork, I believe you can get back your powers. Use your other Elemental powers to get your Solar power back.

"Alright. I will try my best."

"And Sam, I would like to ask for your help. Please...help my daughter to not be like herself now. You're the only one that I can hope to change herself. She needs someone to care for her, and you're her old friend. Maybe you can tell her to change before it's too late. I know she will get punishment for her action, but it's best for her to make sure she's learned her lesson. Can you do it for me?"

"Sure, Master. I'll do my best."

"Thank you, Sam, and best of luck to all of you."

Back at Solaris castle, Leah and Athena have been defeated by Ryna. Ryna then walks forward to finish off Iris, when suddenly Sam awakens and attacks Ryna. Both of them continue to fight until Ryna knocks him down again, but this time she wants to kill Sam with her Solar sword.

When she draws her sword to Sam, she's looking at him in anger, which makes Sam protest her to continue to stab him.

"Do it. If this can make your life happier by getting rid of me, do it", said Sam.

Ryna then is freeze and stutters about whether she should kill him. When she freezes, she remembers herself again by remembering what Sam has done to her when she was in primary school. She always gets bullied, but Sam always helps her out. Sam also helped her a lot to give her some advice and also help her with her studies. Not only that, both of them have practiced their Elemental powers together, and they really have a good time together.

Iris, Leah, and Athena that is witnessing the event are worried and scared that Ryna actually wants to kill Sam.

Sam then knows that Ryna can't do it, and he has the plan to make Ryna put down her sword by forcing her to continue her action. He then shout to Ryna and said, "DO IT!"

Ryna then looks at him and then starts to cry. She then said, "I...I...I can't do it."

Ryna then release her sword, went away from Sam, and start to cry. Sam then takes the Solar sword and absorbs the power from the sword to him. He finally gets his Solar power back.

Iris, Leah, and Athena then went to have a look at Sam.

"Honey, are you okay?", asked Iris.

"I'm okay, darling. I finally got my Solar power back", said Sam.

"So, what are we going to do about her? Should we finish her off?", asked Athena.

"No, sis! I can handle this."

"What?! You still wanna trust her after what she has done?!", mad Leah.

"Trust me, sis. I know how I'm going to talk to her."

Sam then walks towards Ryna.

"You were right about me. I'm greedy. I already have my power that is strong enough, but still I want more. I'm such a jerk! Now I know why my father doesn't give me his power to me, because of my attitude. I'm really sorry, Sam. I know you can't forgive me after what I've done to you", cried Ryna.

"Ryna, I understand your situation. I mean, you're right about these powers. It should be given to the descendent, but they all gave it to me for a reason, so that these powers can't be used for bad purposes, just like what you did. I know this power should be yours, but you have yours. You don't need to do all of that."

"I know. I didn't even think correctly. I'm so sorry. I now realize my mistakes to you. You have helped me a lot before, but I just look at it from the wrong side. I already broke our friendship. You can put me in jail if you want to, I deserved it."

"No. I won't be going to put you in jail, Ryna. You're still my friend, even though you betrayed me because of Solar power. You deserve to have a second chance. So, I'm not going to punish you."

"But...I also humiliate your team and also your family members. I now realize that you guys have done your best to protect the galaxy, but I didn't trust you guys. I also blame you and your family members for my parent's death. How are you still can accept me after what I've done to you and your team?"

"People made mistakes, Ryna. And people can change too. I believe you deserved to have a second chance. I also have been in your situation, and I know if I didn't move on from it, I will be the same thing as you did now."

"I...I don't even know what to say. After everything I've done, you still want to be friends with me, and even don't want to punish me. I...I want to say thank you, Sam."

"You're welcome, Ryna. Also, I know I'm not punishing you, but these people can."

Sam then throws a communication device on the ground, and the hologram of Elemental Masters appears. Ryna is shocked to see the Elemental Masters want to have a talk with her.

Master Lucas, the leader of Elemental Master said, "Ryna, you have breached our protocol by attacking one of our people, and also seizing Solar powers from Sam for your own purpose. After discussing with Sam on this issue, we have decided to suspend your duty as Solar Elemental Master for a year. We actually want to give you a heavy punishment, but after hearing Sam's side, he would like to give you a second chance. You should be grateful to have Sam as your friend, Ryna. If not, you're in big trouble."

"I will accept the punishment. I promise that I will change and think of what I have done."

"Hmm. Very well then. I really hope you really change your attitude once you come back with us, Ryna. For now, Sam will be in charge as a temporary Solar Elemental Master. You don't mind about it, right? You're not going to attack him, right?"

"No, Lucas. I won't. I will change, I promise."

"Alright then. Meeting dismissed."

The meeting then ended and Ryna starts to cry remembering what she have done and the consequence she got.

Sam then calm her down and said, "I hope you can really change, Ryna. After your suspension is over, I want to see you like when I know you in primary school."

"I will, Sam. And, I'm sorry again for what I did to you", said Ryna.

"It's ok. Everyone can change, Ryna. That's why I tell them to give you a second chance, and they did. I hope you take the advantage of your suspension period to change yourself."

Soon after, Sam, Iris, Leah, and Athena leave Solaris. Ryna gives her goodbye to them and apologizes to all of them. She also made an open apology to all Solaris citizens for her attitude and also for giving misinformation on the Heroes team.

Months have passed, and Ryna is still suspended as the Solar Elemental Master. However, she's still the Queen of Solaris and has helped a lot of people in her kingdom. Sam is always in contact with Ryna to see how is she doing. Sam is happy to see that Ryna has finally changed, and it looks like she didn't waste the opportunity that Sam with the Heroes team and the Elemental Masters already gave to her.
