Chapter 37: A dark soul

It's 11 AM, Niora was in her house, she was sitting on her throne, in this day of the month, She allows her people to get in the main building to pay her a visit, it's one of the rights she gave to them, she was wearing her queen outfit, long blue and white dress and a diamond crown on her head, her sister was sitting in a smaller throne next to her.

The gates of the house opened, villagers were in line, they started getting in one by one.

A villager came in and bowed on his knee.

villager : my queen....what a lovely day to see you.

Niora : welcome to my house.....do you wish to ask me something ?

villager : no...I don't...I just wanted to wish you and your sister a nice day.

Niora : how kind of you.....we wish you a great life too.....and we hope to see you next month.

The villager was happy to hear it from them, he smiled at them as he left the house.

Niora sighed.

Niora : one down....dozens to go.....why did I make this day ?

Niora's sister : because you want them to love you.....and it is a good way to do it.

Niora : I know....but it's getting more boring every time.

Niora's sister : well.....this is what you have to do as a queen.

Another villager came in and bowed to them.

Villager : my queen.....how are you doing today ?

Niora : I'm doing pretty good....thank you for asking.

The villager then looked at Niora's sister.

Villager : princess Mikayla.....it's an honor to finally meet you...I brought this gift for you.

The villager gave them a basket full of different kinds of fruits.

Villager : it's my collection of different fruits.....they are not all from here....some are from outside of Alaska.

Mikayla took it from him.

Mikayla : it's a great gift from you.....thank you.

villager : hope you love them.

The villager bowed again as he left.

Mikayla looked inside the basket, she saw multiple rare fruits.

Mikayla : oh wow....he wasn't kidding....we never see this kind of fruit here.

Next came in a teen with flowers in his hands.

Niora : there we go....another crush guy.

Mikayla : aww give him a chance.....he's obviously trying.

villager : my queen.....it's an honor to see you.

He looked at Mikayla, he stopped for moments as he was staring at her.

villager : pri....prin....princess Mikayla.....you look....amazing....he...here...I got you these flowers.

Mikayla took the flowers.

Mikayla : well thank you...I will have them in my room to look at them every day.

villager : I...

He then left the house in a hurry, he couldn't speak.

Niora : damn...he's head over heels for you.

Mikayla : he's pretty sweet....but no.

A couple came in next, they were wearing capes, Niora didn't recognize them.

Man : your majesty.....we are new here.....it is an honor to meet you.

They raised their heads, Niora immediately knew who they are from their eyes, it was Zet and Kipo.

Niora : welcome to our village.....I hope you found somewhere to live here.

Kipo : yes in fact....we did.....thank you for asking.

Zet then kneeled and reached his hand, he wants to kiss Niora's hand.

Zet : may I ?

Niora reached her hand, Zet Kissed her hand and gave her note in her hand, no one saw it.

Zet : what a kind queen you are...we hope to see you again.

Zet and Kipo then left as they were smiling in their faces.

Mikayla : now that's more of my type....a gentleman.

Niora : don't worry.....he's taken.

Mikayla : oh well.

Kipo : did you give it to her ?

Zet : yeah.

The next villager came in, it was a kid carrying a teacup, it was Ron.

Ron : your majesty.....I brought a special tea....it's my grandmother's recipe....it's hot now...I'd prefer if you drink it when it's colder....you'll love it.

Ron then looked at Niora's eyes, she looked at his, he then looked at her hand hinting her to read the note as fast as she can.

Niora : thank you...I will drink it today.

Ron : hope you enjoy it.

Ron left.

Niora : I need to go to the bathroom.....be right back.

Niora then got up and went to the bathroom with the note hidden in her hand, when she got in the bathroom she opened it and read it.

"don't drink the tea yet.....wait for us at 10 PM sharp in your room and bring your sister"

She then ripped the note apart and got rid of it, she then got out and came back to her throne.

Kipo and Zet were walking in the village.

Kipo : hey are you hungry ?

Zet : yeah I can eat.....why ?

Kipo : I want to take you out.

Zet : like on a date ?

Kipo : yeah....a date.

Zet : ok.....sure....where do we want to go ?

Kipo : I saw this fancy restaurant 4 houses away from here....a lot of people come out and get in there.....it must be popular.

Zet : and probably expensive.

Kipo : I took care of this.

Kipo then got out a small bag filled with gold coins and showed it to Zet.

Kipo : all we need to do is go.

Zet : where did you get all this money ?!

Kipo : let's just say I borrowed some from Niora.....I'm pretty sure she won't mind losing a few coins.

Zet : you stole from her and no one saw you ?.... I have to say.....you're talented at this.

Kipo : which is bad.....but it still depends on reason...now...shall we ?

Zet : wait....before we go....we have a lot of coins....how about we buy better clothes first ?

Kipo : actually that's a good idea....let's go.

They took off their capes and started walking around, they were looking for the place people get their clothes from, it didn't take long until they saw a man walking out of a clothes shop that had lights all around it, it seemed like a good place to see, when they got in, they saw multiple dresses hung on the wall, a woman approached them.

women : hello...and welcome to Roza's.....my name is Roza and I will be in your service today.....how may I help you ?

Kipo : hi....we are planning on buying new clothes.

Roza : and what's the purpose ?

Kipo : a date.

A man came from behind her.

man : ah yes....young love....you've come to the right place.....I'm Jamil...Roza's husband.....I'll be in your service today too.

Roza : may we ask your names ?

Kipo : I'm Kipo.....and this is Zet.

Jamil : Zet and Kipo....such beautiful names.

Jamil and Roza then turned around and started whispering to each other.

Roza : alright.....if you may come with me Kipo.....I will have you.

Jamil : and you can come with me Zet.....we will come back here in 2 hours and show you both each other's fancy dates !

Zet and Jamil went into a room while Roza and Kipo went to another.

Jamil : now....let's see what do we have here.

Jamil took a long look at Zet's body.

He then got his tools and started taking Zet's height and width.

Zet : do you want me to do something or.....

Jamil : it's ok...just standstill.

Zet then started to feel confused, he has no idea what Jameel is doing, after moments, Jamil finished taking measures.

Jamil : alright....so....you have a muscular body.....and you're not really wide per say.... I and my wife agreed to give you fancy clothes from the old world.

Zet : old world ?

Jamil : the human race 200 years ago....before all the mutants even exist....they used to wear these fancy black and white clothes.....and I think you'll look good in them.

Zet : um....sure.

Jamil : great !.....let's get to work !

Roza was looking at Kipo's body.

Roza : now...as opposed to your boyfriend.....you have more of a small body....and you're short....and I know that you want to look stunning to him.....so let's start !

Roza started taking Kipo's measures.

Kipo : so what Kind of model are you thinking ?

Roza : I see you understand in designs.

Kipo : yeah a little bit.

Roza : well...my husband and I agreed that you guys would look perfect in the old world's clothes.

Kipo : oh you mean the long dress and the suit ?!

Roza : yes honey !.....these are the ones !

Kipo got excited, she knows that they both will look good.

Roza finished taking measurements.

Roza : now....you have bright pink hair and eyes....so we need a pink accent in your dress and a color that goes with it....by the way are these all natural ?

Kipo : yeah...I was born like this.

Roza : well you must be a rare girl.....I don't think anyone has ever come to me with such a rare color....except of course....my queen.

Kipo : wait.....you designed Niora's queen dress ?

Roza : honey...Roza's shop is one of the most popular places in all of this village.....of course we did.

Kipo : I have to tell you...it looks amazing.

Roza : well get ready to have one yourself...I'm so sure he will love it.

Zet was looking at the models on the wall, some of them looked weird to him.

Zet : hey do people wear these ?

Jamil : of course....these models are what the village leaders wear in their most important ceremonies.....don't you like them ?

Zet : they just look weird to me.

Jamil : you must not be from here right ?

Zet : no....we're not.

Jamil : these clothes are the traditional clothes of Alaska.

Zet : hey...I'm not here to judge.

Jamil : so...I can already tell that black is your favorite color.

Zet : true....it is...what gave it away ?

Jamil : your yellow hair and eyes....they go together with black and white....but I can tell that you're the kind of a strong badass....like you fought multiple people together and won without a scratch.

Zet : wow.....you're good.

Jamil : I know...I know.

Roza was working on the dress model while Kipo was sitting in a chair waiting for her.

Roza : so tell me about your boyfriend.....how long have you been with him ?

Kipo : not much.....but we've been friends for a long while.

Roza : so you think you know him well ?

Kipo : it's a long story....in short....yes...I know him the most.

Roza : so what is he like ?.....he looks like a gentleman.

Kipo : he is amazing.....I love him.

Roza : is he a good person though....you know...with you and without you ?

Kipo : he is a tough guy....he doesn't like to show any emotions to anyone.....but I'm his only exception.

Roza : he looks like he's brave.....can he fight ?

Kipo : he's a great warrior....one time he took an arrow to his shoulder to protect me....actually three times.

Roza : wow....it sounds like he really loves you.

Kipo : he does....and I do too.

Roza : so where did you guys first kiss ?

Kipo : here.....one top of a building....he kissed me while we watched the aurora borealis.

Roza : wow.....that's so romantic of him.....is he a good kisser ?

Kipo : he's the best.....every time he kisses me I just feel like all my world is just.....gone...you know ?

Roza : I do honey...I do....this is how you know that you're meant to be together.

Kipo : huh ?

Roza : honey....you meeting him in the first place was not just a coincidence....you are destined to be with him....it's just how love works.

Kipo smiled, she was thinking about him.

Roza : do you have any problems with him.....do you see anything wrong with him ?

Kipo : no....not really.

Roza : at all ?....nothing ?

Kipo : it's just.....I feel like he does way much more for me than what I do for him.

Roza : and let me guess....this date is not his idea.

Kipo : yeah....it's mine...I'm trying to do something for him...I feel like I'm not balancing our relationship.

Roza : aww honey....that's so sweet of you...I'm sure he can see that you're trying.....but not that he is asking for it.

Kipo : what do you mean ?

Roza : he is probably not asking anything from you except to be with him.....that's what a guy that really loves you wants from you.

Kipo : but it's so simple....all I have to be is just.....be.

Roza : honey....who said that love is supposed to be complicated...some of the greatest love stories.....are the ones that weren't written.

Jamil was designing Zet's suit, Zet was waiting for him.

Jamil : so....how long you've been together ?

Zet : not long....it's been like 3 days.....but we've been close friends before.

Jamil : oh....so you're pretty new huh.....so how is she ?

Zet : is this what you do with your couple customers ?.....you make them talk to you about the other ?

Jamil : come on now...I can see you want to talk....everyone does.....and yes this is what we do here....it's a part of our service.

Zet : fine....you know how you have this person.....and you see them as the center of your world ?....this is her to me.

Jamil : does she know that ?

Zet : no...I don't think so.

Jamil : you said you were friends before.....after you became a couple....did she change her attitude with you and others around her ?

Zet : no....she is the same playful....cute girl she always was.

Jamil : then this probably means that she was in love with you even before.....she must've been scared that your friendship will be ruined if she confessed to you.

Zet : does this happens normally between couples that were friends before ?

Jamil : all the time.....one of them has a crush on the other....and the other is not aware of it.....then they get scared to take the gamble....either to win you as a lover.....or lose you as a friend.

Zet looked at the ground, he was thinking about her.

Jamil : so do you think that she is meant to be with you ?

Zet : huh ?

Jamil : you know....do you think she is the one you'll always be with ?

Zet : of course...I'm not looking at anyone better than the way I look at her.

Jamil : well....this is your job to keep this relationship as much as it is hers.....do you think you're doing enough for her ?.....is she happy and will be happy with you ?

Zet : no...I don't think I'm doing to her enough.....she saved my life multiple times....and I don't know how to repay her such a debt.....I feel like I don't deserve to be with her....like she is way better than to be with me.

Jamil : but what if she thinks the same of you ?...what if she thinks she doesn't deserve you.

Zet : and why would she do that ?

Jamil : you said she saved your life....did you do the same ?

Zet : well yes.....but not exactly in a life threatening situation...I just protect her before she puts herself in danger.

Jamil saw the arrow scar on his shoulder as he was testing the clothes on him.

Jamil : and what about the scars you have ?...did you get them yourself ?.....or were they for her ?

Zet : I have some scars I made....but yeah...I protected her from some hits...I'd never let anything touch her.

Jamil : did she thank you before for protecting her ?

Zet remembered the times she looked at him and was thankful for saving her.

Zet : yeah....she did.

Jamil : look....she probably thinks that she's not doing enough for you too.....let me ask you this.....who's idea was this date ?

Zet : it's hers.

Jamil : what....do you really think it's normal for the girl to take her man on a date ?...she is trying her hardest to show you that she deserves you.

Zet : but she does.

Jamil : but she doesn't know.....she is just like you....clueless.....you need to show her that you want to be with her just as much as you want her.

Zet : what's the difference ?

Jamil : you wanting her is by saying I love you....but no matter how much you say it....you can't show her how much you really do.....but when you show her that you want to be with her....is when you show her how much she means to you.

Jamil finished making the suit.

Jamil : so let me ask you this one time.

He looked into his eyes.

Jamil : how much does she mean to you ?

Zet : everything.

He then got up and gave him the suit to try it out.

Jamil : then go out there....and show her.....show her that she is supposed to be with you.

After moments, Roza and Jamil came out of their rooms, Zet and Kipo were waiting.

Roza : so...is he ready ?

Jamil : you're going to love this one.

Roza : alright...Kipo...Zet....come out !

Kipo and Zet then came out of the rooms, Zet looked at her, his eyes widened, she was wearing a turquoise and pink dress, she looked amazing, he was speechless, she looked at him, she couldn't move her eyes away, he was wearing a black and white suit, they stood in front of each other.

Kipo : hey.

Zet : hey.

They started laughing with happiness as they were looking at each other's eyes.

Zet : y....you look amazing.

Kipo : you too.

They took moments staring at each other, they were both stunned by how good they looked.

Kipo then decided to make her move, she grabbed his hand and pulled it towards her.

Kipo : Shall we ?

Zet looked at her lips, he then leaned in for a long kiss, Jamil and Roza were smiling in the back watching them.

After they finished, they looked at each other in surprise, for some reason, this one was different, they started chuckling.

Roza saw their hair glowing.

Roza : um....guys....not to break your moment.....but your hair.

Kipo looked at Zet's hair, it was glowing.

Kipo : your hair....your hair is glowing.

Zet : huh?....I'm not doing this.

Kipo : it's not you....it's your heart.

Zet then looked at Kipo as he grabbed her hand.

Zet : well....guess I do have emotions after all.

Kipo looked at him and laughed with happiness.

Zet then looked at Jamil and Roza.

Zet : thank you for your service.

Jamil : we'd never be more glad than this.

Roza : have fun today.....you both deserve it.

Kipo and Zet then got out of the shop smiling while holding hands.

Zet never felt this happy, his hair was still glowing, they headed to the restaurant, people were looking at them, they were confused, Kipo and Zet were walking with glowing hair.

They have reached the restaurant and found a table, after minutes, a waiter came to them with a menu, he was looking at them with a weird look, as everyone was around them.

Kipo : so what do we eat ?

Zet was staring at her, he didn't hear what she said.

Kipo : Zet ?

Zet he finally snapped out of it.

Zet : huh?!....yeah....sorry...what did you say ?

Kipo : what do we order ?

Zet looked at the waiter next to him, he was waiting.

Zet : I'll take a smoked salmon.

Kipo : make them 2.

The waiter nodded and left.

Zet came back to looking at Kipo, she noticed.

Kipo : can you move your eyes for like 2 seconds ?

Zet : I genuinely can't.....you look gorgeous.

Kipo started chuckling and blushing.

Kipo : you know that everyone is looking at us and confused why our hair is glowing right ?

Zet : yeah....and I honestly can't care less.

Kipo : you know...I'm still surprised that your hair is glowing.

Zet : well you're doing this to me.

Kipo : and you're doing the same thing.

Zet : ok but It happens with you every time I kiss you....but me....this is my first time...why now ?

Kipo : maybe because you are deep in the moment.....and I think I'm the reason.

Zet : I mean....not that I'm complaining.

The waiter came in with their food, they started eating.

Zet : hey you want to go somewhere else after this ?

Kipo : I don't have any specific place in mind.....you ?

Zet : well.....we can go to the abandoned part of this village.

Kipo : what are you talking about ?

Zet : apparently this village is built on a town that was here before it.....there are these abandoned 200 years old frozen buildings behind Niora's building.....I noticed them earlier....so what do you say ?....a creepy and silent date ?

Kipo : yeah sure....we can go there.....it's not fancy....but it's fun.

Later...

Kipo and Zet just arrived at the abandoned buildings.

Zet : look at this place...I actually like it.

Kipo : it's kind of creepy here.....you think we'll find something interesting here ?

Zet : I don't think anyone comes here....it's probably too creepy for them.

They started walking through the buildings.

Kipo : so....what do think of this date so far ?

Zet : does it really matter to you ?

Kipo : I just want to know.

Zet chuckled.

Zet : what are you trying to accomplish here ?

Kipo : nothing...I just want to know If you're liking the date or not.....that's all.

Zet then grabbed her hand, it was sweaty.

Zet : you're nervous.

Kipo : pfft....no I'm not.

Zet : your hand is sweating.

Kipo : ok fine...I want to know if I'm doing a good job or not.

Zet chuckled.

Zet : Kipo....being on a date is not what matters...it's being with you what does.....and I know that you are trying your best to do good things for me.....but I really want you to know.....you don't need to put in an effort to make me happy.....all I need is you.....seeing you every time when I wake up....when I sleep....it just makes me happy to know that you're with me.

Kipo looked at him, she was tearing, she then hugged him tight and kissed him.

Kipo : I love you so much.

Zet : I love you too.

Kipo : this is why I'm trying.....every time you tell me things like these or kiss me...I just immediately forget that I have a world around me.....I just feel like you did and are doing so much for me that I'm just taking without giving.

Zet : it's funny because I feel the same thing.....I feel like I'm not doing enough for you too....so I'm constantly trying hard to be the best for you.

Kipo : but you are.

Zet : huh ?

Kipo : you literally saved my life multiple times...you're not even letting me experience the pain of an arrow !...don't you think you're doing anything ?

Zet : no....because you saved my life too....and on top of that....you made it 10 times better....I can use my powers all I want because of you...I can socialize with others now.....and I can actually feel again...all what I'm doing just doesn't look enough for me.

Kipo : all this time we thought that we are the mistake.....and we tried to be perfect.....

Zet : but we both didn't want each other to be.....all we need from each other is just us.

Kipo then looked at Zet, his eyes were started to glow a faint light as he was laughing, she started laughing too.

Zet : well...I guess what we are trying to say is...we are perfect to each other.....just by being who we are.

Kipo : I...

Kipo then suddenly heard a voice of a girl, her eyes widened.

Kipo : did you hear that ?

Zet : hear what ?

Kipo : there's someone here...I'm sure of it.

Zet's face immediately change to serious, they started walking around and checking in every building, by every step, the sound of a girl moan was getting louder to Kipo, Zet wasn't hearing anything.

Zet : do you still hear it ?

Kipo : it's in that house over there.

Zet got out his knife and they started walking silently, after moments they reached in front of the door, it was closed, but it wasn't locked, Zet then looked at Kipo, he nodded to her, she transformed her arms and nodded.

Zet then kicked the door down, they found Niora's sister...Mikayla with a guy kissing.

Mikayla and the guy with her got scared, Kipo and Zet then put their weapons away.

Kipo : wait...Niora's sister ?.....what are you doing here ?

Mikayla : it's Mikayla.....what are you doing here ?

Zet : are we the ones that are not supposed to be here and in their houses acting like a princess ?

Mikayla looked at who it was, she recognized Zet from his eyes.

Mikayla : hey...I know you....you're the gentleman that came to visit us today.....right ?

Zet : yes...I'm that guy.

Mikayla : you were just wearing dirty capes....now you're wearing all fancy....what the hell happened ?

Zet : none of your business....now tell us what's going on here ?

Mikayla : um....none of your business.

Zet then started to get angry, he glowered at her, Kipo saw him.

Kipo : listen....let me talk to her.....I think I'll do better.

Zet stepped back, Kipo then turned around and faced Mikayla.

Kipo : hi....my name is Kipo....and this is my boyfriend Zet.....we were just walking here and we happened to hear a sound....we decided to check it out....we know that no one comes here....so do you mind telling us what are you doing here with...

Man : john.....I'm john.

Kipo : nice to meet you John....now do you mind telling us what are you doing here with john ?

Mikayla : this is my boyfriend....and we're on a date.

Kipo : but why are you here ?

Mikayla : you weren't lying about being new here huh ?

Kipo : no....we are new.

Mikayla : the traditional rules say that a queen and a princess are not allowed to be with anyone that is not from the other village's leaders.....I can't be with john or be seen with him.....this is why we come here.

Zet : does Niora know about this ?

Mikayla : no....she doesn't....she will probably kill him if she knows.....wait....are you going to tell her ?

Kipo : we will need to talk.....um...alone.

Mikayla : you're not going to tell her are you ?

Zet : we have more important stuff to do with you sister.....and you're included in it....let's go back to your home.

Mikayla : what....are you planning on just going through the door and call my sister to talk to you ?

Kipo : relax....we know how to get in.

John then left the building.

Mikayla : will I see him again ?

Kipo looked at her and smiled.

Kipo : don't worry....we will make sure of it.

They have arrived behind Niora's building.

Mikayla : so what are we doing here...I'm pretty sure that there is no door here.

Kipo : and who said we're using a door.

Zet then carried Mikayla and flew up, while Kipo started climbing, they came through a window, they ended up in Niora's room, she wasn't in it.

Mikayla was surprised and confused.

Mikayla : who are you guys ?

Kipo : we'll explain later....now can you call Niora ?

Before Mikayla got out of the room, Niora opened the door and saw her.

Niora : there you are !

Niora then rushed to hug her.

Niora : I've looked everywhere for....where have you been ?

Mikayla : is there something wrong ?

Niora : didn't you hear ?....there is a huge storm coming soon.

Mikayla : well good news...I brought some help.

Niora looked in the back and Saw Zet and Kipo.

Kipo : hi.

Niora : what are you doing here ?

Zet : why don't you ask your sister ?

Niora : I don't have time for this.....we need to get all the people to safety.

Kipo : we can help.

Niora : Kipo.....get Mikayla and everyone into our safe place....3 buildings away from here...Zet...you're with me.

Kipo then took Mikayla and rushed out to get everyone.

Zet : so what are we doing ?

Niora : we need to control this storm and prevent it from destroying buildings.....it's made out of air...Ice and Lightning.....so we should be able to control it and change its direction away from the village.

They then jumped out of a window and started flying in the sky, they saw the storm coming in their way, a huge storm that was breaking everything in its way.

Zet : is this usual to happen ?

Niora : no...that's like once in 8 months kind of thing.....and rarely

The storm was fast, it was getting closer.

Kipo and Mikayla were getting people out of their homes into the safe building.

Kipo : this way....come on !

Mikayla : follow me !

Kipo then reached Roza's shop, she saw Jamil and Roza, they looked scared.

Roza : Kipo....is everything ok outside ?!

Kipo : everything will be fine...I need you to follow me...quick !

After minutes, Kipo and Mikayla managed to get everyone into the safe building.

Kipo : is this everyone ?

Mikayla : yes.

Kipo then grabbed the building's door handles and was about to close it from the outside.

Mikayla : wait...Kipo.

She stopped.

Mikayla : please be safe.

Kipo smiled at her and nodded.

Kipo : don't worry...I'm a wonderkid.

Kipo then closed the door and went to follow Niora and Zet, Niora Saw Kipo, she lowered to her.

Niora : did you get everyone inside ?

Kipo : everyone is safe.

Niora : alright....now I need you to stand on top of the safe building and punch any big Ice balls coming towards it.....you have to keep them all safe.

Kipo : on it.

Kipo then turned into her wolf form and stood ready on top of the building, Niora flew back up again.

The storm got close enough, it's time for them to stop it.

Niora : ready ?

Zet lit his hand and hair.

Zet : ready.

They dived into the heart of the storm, Niora started using her powers to pull it away from the village, while Zet was taking all the lightning energy before it strikes, he was redirecting it away from the village, multiple Ice balls were randomly hitting different buildings, they were being destroyed, Kipo was defending the building everyone was in, she was punching every ice ball away from them.

They've been doing this for multiple minutes, the storm was still moving, Niora was just slowing it, it is stronger than her.

Niora : this isn't working.

Zet : we need to stop it.....it's getting close to the houses.

Niora's hair started glowing, she was trying harder to stop the storm, it wasn't working.

Zet : hey !....I have an Idea.

Niora : I'm all ears.

Zet : grab my hand and make a giant wind ball.

Niora : are you crazy ?!.....we will take each other out !

Zet : just trust me...I know what I'm doing.

Niora then got closer to him and grabbed his hand, her eyes started glowing, she then summoned a huge ball made out of wind, while Zet did the same, he let the lighting strike him in order to gain enough energy to summon another ball, they combined them together into one storm ball and extended it in all directions, the storm stopped, Zet's plan worked.

Niora looked around her.

Niora : it's gone.

Zet was breathing heavily, the lightning shocks slowed his heartbeat.

Zet : yeah*cough*....we did it.

They landed on the ground, Kipo saw them, she Saw Zet looking tired, the lightning burnt him, there was smoke coming out of the top of his head and his suit was burnt.

Kipo : Zet !

She changed back to her human form and ran to him, while Niora headed to the safe building, she opened the doors and saw everyone safe in it.

Niora : is everyone ok ?

Mikayla rushed to her and hugged her.

Villager : is it done ?.....are we safe ?

Niora : yes....it is safe....you can come out now.

They all got out and headed to their houses, while Niora and Mikayla headed back to Kipo and Zet.

Kipo : are you ok ?.....what happened ?

Zet : I'm ok....it's just *cough*....it's just another burns.....are you ok ?

Kipo smiled at him.

Kipo : I'm ok....you saved the whole village.

Zet : yeah...I'm a wonderkid....this is our job....plus...don't forget yourself.....we saved the whole village *cough*

Zet looked at his suit.

Zet : aww my suit.....damnit....sorry...I ruined the date.

Kipo : you're safe....this is enough for me.

Kipo then put her forehead on his head, she then Kissed him, both of their hair started glowing again.

Zet smiled.

Zet : first date....success ?

Kipo looked at him and laughed with happiness.

Kipo : yes....a total success.

Niora and Mikayla came in, Mikayla hugged Kipo.

Mikayla : your safe !

Kipo : yeah...I am.

Niora : combining our powers to make another storm to stop both of them together.....I have to give it to you....that was pretty impressive.

Zet looked at her and nodded.

Roza, Jamil, Ron and Karen came in.

Zet : is everyone safe ?

Roza : yes....everyone is safe.

Kipo : oh hi guys....what are you doing here ?

Ron : we just came here to thank you all....for saving us.

Jamil : yeah....we would probably be dead without you.

Karen then came closer to Zet and started using sign language.

Zet : I'm ok....the lightning just slowed my heartbeat a little.....I'll be fine.

She then came behind him and saw his back, he had burn marks all over him, she looked at Ron and talked to him.

Ron : she wants us to take him to our house....quick....these burn marks are very dangerous.

Kipo : we can just use our healing flower....right ?

Karen talked to Kipo.

Ron : she says that the flower works on the burns he made to himself by his own powers....not by nature....he took a huge amount of energy...if we don't heal these wounds now...they will expose his inner skin...if they open...nothing can close them.

Kipo's eyes widened, she got worried.

Niora then carried Zet.

Niora : let's go.

They all went to Karen's house, Niora put Zet on a table, she ripped his shirt off.

Karen then talked to Ron.

Ron : on it.

After moments, Ron came back with multiple ingredients.

Karen then looked at Kipo and talked to her.

Ron : hold his arms.....this will be painful.

Kipo then went to hold his right arm, while Niora held the left one.

Karen then made a slimy liquid and poured it on his back, they could hear the slime burning Zet's back, Zet started to feel a huge amount of pain, he wanted to move, but Kipo and Niora were holding him down.

Karen continued pouring, and as she continued, it became more and more painful for Zet.

Zet : are we done yet ?!....this getting a bit unbearable !

Kipo : just a bit more.....hold on.

after minutes, Karen finished pouring, she then started massaging his back, Zet stopped feeling the pain, he felt comfortable, Kipo and Niora let his arms, he stopped breathing heavily.

Mikayla, Roza and Jamil were amazed by her healing skills.

Jamil : what is this thing ?

Ron : it's my grandmother's recipe for healing wounds.....it can take care of any wound....but in return....you'll have to feel an immense amount of pain....we don't use it usually because no one really can take that kind of pain.

Kipo : is he going to be ok now ?

Karen looked at Kipo and nodded with a smile.

Kipo then exhaled in relief, she was worried about him, she turned around to see his face.

Kipo : hey....how are you doing ?

Zet : hey...I'm good now that I can see you.

Karen poked him in one of the wounds.

Zet : AND !....because of the recipe....thank you...Karen.

Kipo looked at him and smiled.

Kipo : I'm so glad you're ok....you scared me.

Zet : come on.....you know that I can take it.

Kipo chuckled.

Kipo : I love you.

Zet smiled.

Zet : yeah...I know.

After moments, Karen finished healing him, Zet was able to stand again, he wore his suit jacket.

Roza : look at your suit.....it's completely destroyed.

Zet : it's ok...Kipo still has her dress all clean and beautiful...I'm happy with that.

Kipo hugged him tight.

Jamil : you know what....I'll make you a new one for free.

Zet : thanks...I really appreciate it.

Jamil : it's the least we can do for you for saving us.

Zet then looked at Karen, he talked to her in sign language.

Kipo : Ron ?....can you just...

Ron (Zet) : thank you.....I don't even know what to do to be grateful enough.

Karen smiled.

Ron (Karen) : well....since you asked.....a hug will do the trick.

Zet then hugged her.

Zet : I love you.....mother.

Karen was surprised, this is his first time calling her that, she started tearing as she hugged him back.

Ron (Karen) : I love you too son...I'm glad you're safe.

Niora : um...Zet...not to ruin the moment...but we need to talk....alone.

Zet : right....meet me at your house.....I'll be right there.

Niora and Mikayla then got out of the house.

Roza : we should leave too....we need to see what happened to our house.....thanks again for saving us.

Zet : you're welcome.

Roza and Jamil left.

Zet turned to look at Karen, he saw her looking at him and Kipo with a smile, she talked to him and started laughing

Zet : alright.....alright....yes...you were right.....I guess it was kind of obvious.

Ron : hey I called it too.

Kipo : huh ?

Zet : she says that she knew that we would end up together.

Kipo : of course you did...I'm not even surprised.

Karen talked to Kipo.

Ron (Karen) : I saw both of your souls....you're perfect together....keep him away from danger.

Kipo chuckled.

Kipo : I will try my best.

Zet and Kipo then left the house and headed to Niora's house, as they were walking, multiple people were clapping and cheering for them.

Kipo : hey look....they're cheering for us.

They reached Niora's house and got in, the guards inside were cheering for them too, they went to Niora's room.

They opened the doors and got in, Niora and Mikayla were waiting.

Niora : finally.....took you long enough.

Kipo : sorry....we liked the cheering for us outside.....they consider us heroes now.

Niora : alright....now...what happened ?.....why did you all come through my window ?

Kipo : so...I'm about to tell you something your sister is afraid of you to know it....so before I say anything...I need you to promise me that you won't be mad.

Niora : go ahead.

Kipo : ok....so your sister here....has a boyfriend....and she keeps sneaking to meet him in the abandoned houses....she knows that she is not supposed to do this but she really loves him.

Niora looked at the ground for moments.

Mikayla : Niora....are you mad ?

Niora : no....actually...I have a secret for you too.....I'm a lesbian....but I've been keeping it a secret because it's also against the rules.....you have to be straight to be a queen or a king.

Mikayla : wait.....then this means that...

Niora : yes....you are supposed to be the queen here....not me.

Mikayla : but I can't be the queen.....I'm not as good as you.

Niora : that's just because you're clueless....it's ok...everyone has to start from somewhere.....so I'm offering you a deal.

Mikayla : huh ?

Niora : I need to leave with Kipo and Zet...I have a war to end....and you will be a queen instead of me....and I will make sure to change the stupid rules and you will have him as a king here to live with you...so....what do you say ?

Mikayla then jumped on her and hugged her tight.

Mikayla : yes !.....you're the best sister ever !

Niora chuckled as she hugged her back.

Niora : alright alright...I guess we have ourselves a deal here.

Zet : welcome to the throne....queen Mikayla.
