~Alexandra Medea Scott~

Meanwhile, at the mansion,

Clem’s radio started to alert as Allen signals from the gate.

“The sun is coming!” Allen said.

“Copy!” Clem replied.

“Good Lord! Where is Lady Medea right now?” Clem asked everyone nearby.

“I saw Lady Medea at the tennis court a while ago, and I think she’s still there by now,” Trevor answered.

“This is not going to end well.” Clem has a bad feeling that is going to happen. He looked up in the deep dark sky as rain clouds formed up.

Drake’s group is now entering the main gate. And a few moments later.

“Isn’t that your sister Medea at the tennis court, Drake? Lez asked as she recognized the woman playing wearing an all-white tennis uniform.

“Don’t look at her.” Drake quickly answered. “Just keep your head down.”

“Speed up, guys” He signaled the group to follow him at his pace, surmising to escape from Medea.

But Medea recognized the approaching group as she paused the game. She boldly walked like a model walking on a catwalk towards the road where Drake will pass thru.

“Think you can pass through me, Horus?” Medea murmured as she cast something at Drake.

Drake, who is now driving at high speed followed by his friends, has no plans to stop by any means.

But suddenly,

“Lez?” as he saw Lez standing in front of him from a distance. He quickly checked his back, and she wasn’t there.

“Drake?” Lez called Drake from his backside as she heard him calling her name, but it seemed he couldn’t listen to her. Drake quickly twisted the steer to the right to avoid hitting Lez and crashing on her. Eventually, the Lez in front of him began to vanish as he realized Lez was still at his backside, holding him tight.

“Draaakkkkeee!!!” Lez shouted, calling his attention that they were going to hit the pole. Drake tried to avoid the crash, but it was all too late to steer away. The collision was great that made the two thrown into mid-air.

“Drake!!!” “Lez!!!” their friends screamed as they saw the whole happening.

Drake took a time as he watched things happening in slo-mo.

“No way!” Drake said to himself as he watched the debris pass by him. “No way!” he said to himself as he saw Lez’s body in mid-air, slowly descending into the ground. “I won’t let you get hurt,” as Lez is a few inches away from impact.

“NO! FREAKING! WAY!” time moved almost into a halt as Drake repositioned himself in mid-air, dashed thru it as if he was sprinting from the ground, grabbing her, saving her, holding her, and carrying her like a newlywed husband carries his wife with his helmet on. He posed like a superhero, one knee on the ground and one knee at the back of the lady supporting her body with his legs, as all the debris came crashing and fell on the floor.

“Wooohhhh!!!!” Yeeeaahhhh!!!” their friends cheered as they saw it all happen in a flash.

“Dude! Our boy Drake is a superhero! He’s The Flash! He’s The Flash.” Mike gladly said as he assumed Drake could move fast for what they saw, but the truth, he made time move very slow. They horridly went out their car suddenly stopped as Medea appeared right in front of them.

“Are you ok?” Drake asked Lez as they stood up and removed their helmets off.

Lez answered with her firm embrace as she cried herself out. Drake wrapped her waist with his right arm and put his left hand on the back of her head as he caressed her hair, calming her down. Letting her feel that he is right beside her, so there’s nothing to fear.

“Bravo, Horus! Bravo!” Medea teased Drake as he covered and put her behind him, protecting her from whatever she might do.

“I’ve never seen you use that kind of ability before. Have you been practicing your abilities lately?” Medea asked as she recognized Drake's speed difference. “Ehehe,” she chuckled. “Never mind, you’re still weak!” Medea pointed out to Drake.

“Just let me play with your new toy here.” Further teased Drake to enrage him.

“Medea!!!” Drake ran towards his sister, assuming he could catch her, and enabled her to use her ability but failed. Medea suddenly vanished and was nowhere to be found.

“Where are you, Medea? Come face me, you coward.” Drake teased her sister to make herself reappear as all he could see was darkness.

“Don’t worry, Horus, I won’t break her. I just want to have some fun with her.” She further explained.

“Drake, she’s coming in front of you,” Lez informed Drake, but he seemed deaf to all she said.

“Silly girl! Don’t waste your time. He won’t even hear you. The level of spell I cast on him is much greater than before, and it nulls his senses, so he can’t bother us anymore.” She further explained as she slowly approached Lez.

“Drake!” “Lez!” their friends called and tried to help, but a blazing fire encircles them, trap as soon as they took a step.

“None of you shall interfere.” Medea grabbed Lez by her face. “Hello there, little mouse, care to play? As she smiled and laughed. ”

“Please, leave us alone. We’ve done you no harm.” Lez begged Medea to release her and her friends together with Drake.

“No harm?” Medea’s face instantly changed expression from teasing to angry. “You may be, but your boyfriend here did!” Lez is frightened as Medea enrages. “So you and Horus’ friends will suffer! Now feel my wrath! Aaahhhh!!!” as she screamed with anger at Lez.

She looked at Lez's reaction, for she expected Lez to scream in horror, agony, and fear, but nothing happened.

“Huh? Why?!? Why are you not screaming?!? Why do my spells do not affect you?!?” Lez grabbed Medea's hand and pushed her to the ground, which released everybody from her spell.

“Lez?" Drake quickly ran to Lez. "Are you hurt?” asked if she was alright.

“Yes, but…” Lez replied but interrupted as she felt a profound dark aura coming behind from Drake. Medea rose with deep black eyes, and a dark spherical aura surrounded her, making her float in mid-air.

“She can fly?” Dan was uncertain of what he had seen.

“You guys, run!” Drake shouted to his friends.

“Oh no, you won’t.” Medea refused to let them escape.

“Medea, Stop!!!” Drake begged.

“This is the reason why I ran from this house. To avoid conflict between you or John for blaming me for something I haven’t done.” Drake screamed at her, pleading.

“Please! I beg you. Stop hurting my friends. I know you blamed me for our mother’s death. But I told you before that I don’t remember doing that.” Drake kneeled with both hands and looked at the ground as he explained the reason for Medea’s anger towards him.

“You don’t remember? Or you just don’t want to remember? Because of the guilt that you feel for trapping our mother with that demon!” Medea explained as Drake’s eyes grew wider in shock after hearing what Medea said. It’s the first time he heard her saying that to him.

Drake slowly looked up towards the floating Medea and uttered, “What do you mean?” Drake was confused about what Medea had revealed.

“We begged you! John and I begged you not to close the gate. We could have saved mother from the hands of that demon! AAAaaahhhh!!!” Medea was enraged more and more as Drake stared at her, stunned as time began to move slowly, and a scene suddenly came out from his head. His mother Elizabeth, grabbed by a smiling demon looking at him straight into his eyes, just like Medea said. They were trying to save her, begging him not to close the gate. And suddenly, the gate vanished, as if nothing that he could do to save her beloved mother from the horror that he watched. The rain started to fall, and the first drop fell right below his eyes, forming like a tear as he burst into tears, washing the raindrop away.

Time norms back. As Clem, Doris, and the others arrive at the scene.

“Master Drake!” Clem called.

“My dear boy!” Doris murmured as she covered her mouth, sympathizing with her beloved boy.

Drake gestured them to stop and not to make a single move before they took a step further. He urged his friends to run towards Clem and Doris.

“You should also go Lez.” Drake pleaded at her while he stared at his sister. Lez would like to refuse, but as she saw Drake’s sad and teary face, she followed his request and went off. It’s as if telling her that it’s time for him to face all of this alone and that he will have to endure all the punishment his sister’s about to unleash. He wanted her to understand that he admitted the truth and accepted the notion that he was the reason why their mother was dead.

“Who said that you could go?” Medea screamed at them.

~ (BGM) Sad Song – We The Kings ~

“Please, let them go. It’s me you wanted to hurt badly. Please don’t include my friends in our fight. I’m the reason for your rage. I’m the reason for your fury. Let my friends go and put all of your wraths into me.” Drake cried.

Medea took a long stare down at Drake before she attacked, “Then you will suffer!” as she quickly dashed from mid-air with her heavy fists, she punched him across his right cheek, kneed him right at his jaw, slapped him, kicked him and slammed him exactly where he’s standing. Those hits weren’t soft, and it could knock out an ordinary man with just one blow. Drake stood back up after Medea slammed him to the ground. You can see his entire body shaking from the hits he received. That made Medea anger more, for she thought Drake was making a joke out of her, that he made her feel weak.

She punched him again numerous times as Drake's legs started to wobble. She grabbed him by the neck and threw him at the wall.

Bang! As the loud impact roars the entire area. Blood started to drip on Drake’s head and stained the wall as he slowly dropped butt first from the wall.

Clem tried to make a move, but Drake signaled him to stop as he smiled.

Lez and everyone started to cry as they watched the horrific torture Drake suffered.

“No father nor John is here to stop me now. I will end your misery Horus!” the enraged Medea said as Drake slowly stood back up from the ground.

Drake looked at Medea once again and said, “Forgive me!” with a weak tone of voice. Drake admitted everything that it was his fault and that he was the only reason for their mother’s death.

And that made Medea’s anger upsurge that she flew into the air and something emerged from her side.

“What is that? Mike asked.

“Are those Sharp blades collected from the drop of the rain?” Dan clarified.

“That’s Lady Medea’s true ability, creation.” (Medea’s illusions are just the least of her ability, her true power lies in creation). “We have to help Master Drake,” Clem shouted in panic, for that kind of power can kill Drake. But blades of water from the rain started to encircle them so they could not move.

The blades of water started to become blades of ice as it pointed to Drake.

“Any last words, Horus?” Medea said as a farewell.

Drake just stood in there as rain and blood mixed as it fell into the ground. Drake just smiled at her.

“Then die!” Medea uttered as she started to release the blades to pierce Drake.

“No!!!” “Drake!!!” “Master Drake!!!” “Please No!!!” everyone shouted to stop Medea.

“Please, Drake! Please! You promised you would always be here by my side. You promised!” As Lez closed her eyes and told herself.

Time started to move very slowly while Medea watched her blades approaching his brother. Drake began to raise both of his arms in the form of a welcoming embrace as he gave her his welcoming smile. Medea’s eyes grew wide as she remembered the same scene from her past.

“Come here, little Drakey!” appeared a little scene from Medea’s point of view, as they were little kids where Drake is still a three-year-old boy, and Medea with John returned home from school. Little Drake welcomes them with open arms and a sweet, wonderful smile. Medea took him, carried little Drake as she hugged, and kissed her little brother, as Drake did the same.

Medea burst into tears as she saw her 18-year-old brother, making the same scene as it showed he wanted his big sister’s hugs and kisses. Slowly she kneeled while she covered her mouth, crying.

Slowly the blades started to break before they reached Drake. She flew down crying while staring at her brother.

The others were relieved of what they saw, as the blades that encircles them also disappeared.

Drake slowly moved forward to her sister, still with open arms, smiling. He put his knees on the ground, hugged her sister, and with a weak voice, he said, “I’m sorry if I couldn’t save mom, I’m sorry if I wasn’t strong enough to help you. If there is a chance to make it right, then I would. If there's even the tiniest spec of opportunity to change place with her, I should. But I was just a weak little boy who knew nothing of what was going on. I was just a little kid who lost his mother too.” Drake started to cry as Medea cried more.

“Forgive me, Medea! Forgive me, sister!” Drake pleaded as Medea burst back in crying and hugged back his brother.

“I’m sorry, brother. I’m sorry for all the bad things I’ve done to you. I’m sorry for putting all the blame on you. I’ve been so selfish thinking that I lost my mother. It never even came to my mind that you lost her too. And no one has been there to comfort you as you also lost the ones who should be the ones to ease your pain. You didn’t just lose your mother; you entirely lost your family. I should be the one to ask for your forgiveness. My brother! I’m sorry Little Drakey!” Medea’s heartfelt sorry made everyone who heard her cry, except for Drake, who smiled instead. He was glad that he had his sister back.

The witch is now vanquished.

Alexandra Medea Scott now lived in Drake’s heart as his vision blackened out and collapsed.
