28 Melting

Tigra appeared at the front of a bridge that connected across a small chasm. Across the way stood pillars supporting three arches with a symbol of fire carved above them in the rock.

 She zipped across and into the building and looked around.

 Broken pillars littered the sides of the room as melted rocks fused together parts of the walls, flooring, and the pillars.

 "When the Runestone overloaded, it must have gone critical, reaching temperatures hot enough to make some of the rocks here melt into magma." She observed.

 Only afterwards did she spot four doors, but three of them were blocked almost a fourth of their way up.

 Tigra walked over to one of them before her right hand blazed. She placed it against the door and, unsurprisingly, it wasn't melting.

 She frowned lightly before deciding to do something she hasn't done yet.

 She activated Fire Armor with full power, but focused it solely to one claw.

 The fire tried to blaze outward, but it took Tigra's entire focus to keep it under control.

 She poked the claw into the door and, after a few seconds, a small hole started to melt. She pushed it further and further until she felt no resistance.

 She looked down at the molten material as she dismissed Fire Armor.

 Her form suddenly turned dark and regained her Shadow Armor outfit.

 Her body wavered before falling into the shadows. The shadow darkened where she went before going up the door and through the hole.

 She popped out of the shadows and looked around.

 A fallen bookcase with glass surrounding it laid in one corner of the room. A burnout fireplace in the middle of the room had a rug and two couches on opposite sides.

 The couches were covered in a layer of dust and a small amount of ash, yet she could still tell that they were red with golden colored outlining.

 Above the fireplace were three women.

 The one on the left held a woman in her early twenties with gray fur with black stripes around her yellow eyes. Long white hair went down to her shoulders that connected with her grayish blue dress that went to her feet. She wore a golden necklace around her neck.

 The one in the middle had big light blue hair with a golden tiara on her head. Her crimson eyes seemed to be alive and staring back at her. She wore a red shirt that left her shoulders exposed while connecting halfway down her biceps. She wore black, tux-like pants. To top it off, she sat on a golden colored throne.

 The one on the right showed a woman with long black hair, golden colored eyes, red kimono like outfit with black vambraces. Hints of black shorts could be seen due to the way the kimono opened along with black leggings that went above the knees.

 She could make a guess and say that this was likely the royal family.

 Not much else was in the room, as it seemed to be a study room.

 She made her way over to the fallen bookcase before trying to lift it, only to find it just outside her strength range.

 With a huff, she snapped her finger before 3 Fire Clones popped up and the four of them lifted it back onto its legs.

 They were dismissed before receiving a notification for 175 EXP for them.

 She bent down and picked up one of the fallen books.

 "Lineage of the Sol Family, huh?" She glanced at the portrait. "Guess that must be their names."

 She decided to take the book and placed it in her hip bag. Another book was picked up, only for most of the pages to be burned heavily.

 Nothing else was around as a lot of the books seemed to be financial records that won't do anything 25 years after the kingdom fell.

 Using Shadow Armor once more, she made her way out of the hole.

 Tigra moved onto the next door and repeated the process before finding herself in the room a few seconds later.

 Just more destroyed things that, with the stove, oven, fridge, and various other equipment, painted this as the kitchen.

 That was disappointing but she guessed that it would make sense to have a kitchen near the front for guests and more.

 With that, she found herself in front of the last blocked door.

 She started the process, only for her flames to bounce off of the door.

 Her eyes scrunched slightly before looking for any openings to the room, in the off chance she didn't have to destroy something else.

 While the door was cracked in places, nothing deep enough to go all the way through.

 She placed her palm on the wall.

100 damage taken!

 Tigra jerked her hand backwards and noticed a syringe-like needle sticking out.

 The door suddenly seemed to become active before the dull gray became gray and red.

 "DNA-A-A-A of Sol family de-de-de-detected. Welcome, Unknown mem-mem-mem-member." A mechanical and slightly broken voice came from the door.

 Tigra blinked before the door opened inwards.

 "I'm sorry, WHAT!?"

 She walked into the room and it was in much better condition.

 A few practice dummies were in the corner. A solid desk in a corner near the door. Intact bookcases lined the wall. A fireplace burning without smoke.

 Tigra walked further in with her mind still reeling from what the door proclaimed.

 She found several small pedestals near the training dummies, but only one had something in it.

 A book.

 She looked around more before finding a wall full of magicats with names under them.

 Adena Sol. Tar'ra Sol. Myst Sol. Purra Sol. Blaank Sol.

 On and on.

 "There's nearly 200 of them." She muttered. "Assuming even just two every 10 years…this family lineage would be nearly 1000 years old.

 She looked over them more before a name caught her eye.

 Rey Sol .

 "Rey. That's…that's one of the people I've been seeing recently in those...dreams?"

 She stood in front of it.

 "Hey door!" She yelled, taking a leap. "Whose DNA do I relate to?"

 A beep occurred.

 "According to my limited database, your DNA is a 57.32% match with Rey Sol, 23.46% match with Selina Sol, a 22.96% match with Luna Sol, a 14.92% match with Lu'ke Blayz, and a 31.42% match with Vi'ra Shal."

 "Rey Sol…and Vi'ra Shal." She muttered, finally having names to the two she's been seeing.

 "Why aren't the matches for Rey Sol and Vi'ra Shal 100%?"

 "Your DNA does not fully match. Part of your DNA comes from an unidentified person."

 Tigra glanced back at the book before putting her hand on the pedestal.

 "DNA sample required. Processing… DNA from 2 minutes and 12 seconds ago administered."

 A few seconds go by.

 "DNA contains traces of Rey Sol and Vi'ra Shal. Lock has been released."

 A sharp click rang out before one side of the glass on the pedestal opened outwards.

 Tigra reached in and grabbed the book before looking at the cover.

 Rey and Vi'ra's Spellbook

Congratulations on obtaining: [Familial Spellbook]

With this, you are given access to: Rey Sol's spellbook list, Vi'ra Shal's spellbook list

 

 She opened the page and found a note stuffed in the front.

 She picked it up.

"At the moment of writing this, we've determined that the Spirit Ember has gone critical after Rey's and Luna's fight. As such, Halfmoon is being evacuated to our old home. From there, we will likely rebuild in secret as it is expected that we will only be able to evacuate 30% of our population at best. The Spirit Ember just has too much power being activated at once.

As such, I will be leaving our old spellbook here for anyone holding Rey's and/or my DNA. Hopefully it won't come to it, but should either of us have a child and not be there, this is our way of ensuring that we could at least provide something.

If no one has connected with the Spirit Ember since we left, there is a chance it may overload again. It needs a conduit to safely expel the energy fault we suspect the First Ones implemented into it. We managed to stabilize it in the past, but it required us venting that magic in secret every other month if not used.

We're going to an island off the coast. I can't say more in the case that a non-magicat finds this.

If you are a Magicat, simply follow Rao's Red Flames back towards Tune's Blue Shores."

 

 Nothing else was on that page besides a picture of a large land mass surrounded in what seemed to be mist and/or fog.

 "Our people…more of us survived." She muttered with wide eyes as her free hand dropped to her side.

 "Entrapta said that only 0.25% of the citizens of Halfmoon were expected to have escaped. But this? This suggests that up to 30% could have evacuated. That means that for every 1 survivor the kingdoms expected to have escaped, 120 people could have actually escaped."

 Tigra opened the book to the next page and found Vi'ra Spellbook. The first few pages were spells she already knew: Flame, Fire, spells that helped her with controlling fire magic early on.

"Fire Augment allows one to condense their flames and make them stronger at the cost of reducing the area of impact. Condensing a fireball from a horse-sized blast into a fist sized blast would increase the damage by at least 3x, but it becomes hard to concentrate on other spells such as Fire Armor. This can spread flames around by reducing their power, but could easily cover one's tracks with a torch."

New Spell technique learned!

[Fire Augmentation - Allows one to condense flames to increase damage while reducing range of attacks. MP: Affected_Spell]

 

 "Well, I'm likely going to blaze through these spells if they're fire based. Considering I already have a 4x multiplier that will be combined with the 2x based multiplier from spellbooks." She muttered aloud.

Quest Created!

Family Knowledge

You have found a spellbook belonging to who you believe to be your parents. What better way to learn about them than through the spells that they found useful?

Objective: Master all of the spells in the book from Vi'ra.

Bonus Objective: Master all of the spells in the book from Rey.

Reward: Spellbook's x2 multiplier increases to x4 for all books and increases magic teaching multiplier from x5 to x10

 

 "Oh. Oh that can be broken." Her eyes gained a slight manic gleam. "That would cause my spells to be learned so much faster, which would increase my magic control to such high levels in a short amount of time, which makes my own spells much stronger."

 She let the message disappear before looking around the room once more, her eyes landing on something she missed.

 A blade - Jian if she remembers - that had a small guard, about two feet worth of blade, and about 3/4ths of a foot for a handle. The blade had a design of wavy fire, yet the rest of the sword was as black as a shadow. It had a black sheath that clearly meant to be on the hip.

 Right beside it were two daggers, completely black from handle to blade. If it weren't for the fact that they were laying on a red cushion, she likely wouldn't have been able to notice it easily in the shadows. There were two small sheaths that looked like they were meant to wrap around the thigh.

 She walked over to them before picking up the Jian blade.

Special blade discovered!

[Dark Flame - A special double-bladed, one-handed sword that seems to have been tempered through enough flames and through its design to allow large amounts of heat to travel to the blade with ease. Damage is [DEX*2+STR*1.9+INT*1.5]*Blade Bonus*(1+MP_USE/300). Base: 1862, MAX_MP: 16,192

Special Daggers discovered!

[Shadow Piercers - Two special daggers that have been treated to be as dark as possible. As such, as long as they are in some kind of shadow, they can not be noticed without magical means. Damage is [DEX*2.7+STR*1.5]*Blade_Bonus. Base: 1726 each

 

 Tigra spun the blades around in her wrists as she adjusted to the weight.

 "Slightly heavier than my Fire Daggers but lighter than Fire Falchion, let alone my actual falchion."

 Tigra took the daggers and placed them in the sheaths before wrapping them around her legs.

 As for the jian, she put it in the sheath and attached it to her belt on her left hip.

 "Anything else here?"

 She looked around but didn't see anything else.

 None of the bookshelves had books on them and some were even opened in ways that seemed as if they were opened in a hurry, if the few that had some cracks around the handle seemed to tell.

 "Spell Shop - Way to carry additional items without weight."

Searching spell shop that meet required criteria

No spells that fit criteria are available at this moment.

 "Well, guess that's one downside for today then." She shrugged, having expected something disappointing after everything she just found.

 She walked out of the door before placing a hand on it again.

 "Can you close?"

 The door stopped glowing red before returning to gray and closing behind her.

 Tigra nodded before looking at the door at the top.

 She quickly made her way to it and walked through, finding most of the floor covered in long dried magma.

 She continued onwards.

 She found a depiction of a magicat with the Spirit Ember in between her hands. The rock around it cracking, yet not a single crack got close to the mural.

 Further on, she stepped over a few fallen pillars that had been melted at the bases before falling over and breaking upon the ground.

 She created a bright flame in her hand as, while she can see in this darkness, she can see better with light.

 After what felt like ten minutes, she found the door that Entrapta must have meant.

 A door blocked the way with the symbol of the Spirit Ember as a drawing with an outline of She-Ra's sword hanging above it.

 "Note to self: Get Entrapta to teach me First One language." She spoke while looking at various lines and shapes that looked similar to what she saw in the Ruins.

 She stared at it before her eyes narrowed.

 "And yet the Magicats were able to use it freely for hundreds of years. It doesn't seem like this door could have been down the entire time."

 "So how did you do it?"

 She placed her palm on this door.

 Nothing.

 She activated Fire Fists but decided to use Fire Augment and sent 20x the required amount of MP into it.

 Her fists glowed brightly.

Fire Fists have been augmented 20x. As such, Damage has been multiplied by 5.

 She put her hand on the door again and could feel it begin to warp.

 Until…

Extreme heat contact!

-400 HP per second in contact with the source!

 Tigra quickly brought her hand back and took a few steps back as she held her hand.

 Her palm was blazing red and some fur had been burned off. Her hand hurt and felt itchy as her regen quickly got to work on fixing the damage she just took.

 Taking her attention elsewhere, she looked back at the door and saw it slowly melting where her hand had been.

 Her tablet rang before answering it itself, immediately telling her who it must have been.

 "Tigra, it's Catra. The Princess Group is already here with company. You either need to get back here quietly or find a place to hide."

 Shaking her hand to get rid of the weird feeling, she picked up the tablet before speaking.

 "I'm pretty sure I could just…take the Runestone."

 "What? Didn't Entrapta say we needed She-Ra?"

 "To open a door, yes. However, I can melt my way through."

 "...The three of us can't reach you before the princesses and co do."

 "Just be ready."

 Tigra ended the call.

 "Trait Upgrade - Unburnable."

Confirm to upgrade trait [Fire-proof] into [Unburnable]?

[ Y ]

 

Accepted! Fire-proof has been transformed into Unburnable!

 

[Unburnable - You can't be affected negatively by fire. Period. This includes fire, sparks, infernos, man-made fire, heat [fire], and fire spells!]

 Tigra cracked her neck before restarting what she just did.

 Her hands slowly started to melt the door, yet she barely even knew that the melted door was on her. It just felt like solid water was on her arms before falling to the floor in plops.

 She eventually made a hole to the other side. She started melting it in a line before finishing it a minute later.

 With a good enough opening, she shimmied her way through the melted material before entering the other side.

 There, right in the middle of the room with some cooled down lava…

 Was the Spirit Ember.

 She was nearly halfway there when she heard voices.

 "-like someone tried cutting their way in?"

 "Yeah. Maybe someone already tried to get the Ember but couldn't get all the way through."

 Tigra looked over her shoulder, just in time to see someone with blue eyes and a hint of blonde hair at the top looking through.

 Tigra smirked before giving a short wave and continuing towards the Runestone.

 "-of Greyskull!"

 The door she had melted through suddenly glowed and flickered before struggling to rise up.

 Once it did, Tigra stood with her back to the Ember to address her fellow explorers of Cadalia.

 All of the princesses from the young Frosta of the Kingdom of Snows to Perfuma of the bountiful Plumeria were there with She-Ra leading the way.

 Behind them though, Tigra noticed a few others.

 Someone wearing a white cloak, a light green cloak, and Morgan.

 "Ah, welcome princesses. And Morgan, Aera, and Glae."

 "Aero." A masculine voice corrected.

 "Aero." Tigra nodded.

 "Give it up. Do you really think you can fight all 9 of us by yourself?" She-Ra tried to reason.

 "9? I only counted 8 threats. No offense, Arrow."

 Bow was indeed with them, but his right wrist was in a modified cast, definitely preventing him from using his favorite weapon.

 "Slightly taken."

 Tigra shrugged.

 "Oh, please put up a fight." Glae pleaded. "I still need to get my licks in for what you did to Bolt."

 "Either way…" Tigra decided to ignore that. "What makes you so sure you can take me?"

 Tigra snapped her fingers before 9 clones appeared, taking a few back.

 "9 clones!?" Morgan growled. "How long have you been able to do this?"

 "A day or so."

 Morgan's mouth actually dropped at that.

 "You're saying that you can make 9 fire clones despite only learning it basically yesterday!?"

 "Yep. What can I say, it's almost as if a fire magic specialty runs in my blood."

 Tigra snapped again before the clones charged forward at everyone.

 Except She-Ra.

 Two clones went towards Morgan and the other extra went towards Glae, seeing as they use water and ice magic.

 She-Ra seemed confused until Tigra drew Dark Flame.

 "Those flame clones won't be a match for you. They may barely be a match for most of their opponents."

 "They don't have the same gifts that you do, do they?"

 Tigra smirked before dashing at her while applying haste, boosting her DEX up to 2311.

 Their swords clashed before Tigra deflected it to the side and slammed a knee into her gut.

She-Ra

HP: 881,000

10644*0.5=5322 damage dealt!

 

875,678/881,000

 Unsurprisingly, She-Ra barely flinched and tried to elbow her.

 Despite how strong and fast She-Ra is, she just can't keep up entirely with Tigra, who focused almost solely on speed and went from there.

 She arched her back to avoid it before kicking off of She-Ra, making slight room before she landed on the ground.

 She charged Dark Flame with 300 MP, doubling its damage before going on the move again.

 She-Ra swung downwards that Tigra had to block due to their distance being just out of her striking zone.

 If Tigra had any doubt of how strong the blade was, they were all blown away as the sword easily held up under the strength of the blow, despite the ground underneath Tigra caving in slightly enough that cracks could be seen.

 She-Ra seemed shocked before finding her sword pushed to the side.

 And feeling a blow to her side.

14134*0.4=5,654 damage dealt!

 

870,024 HP

 She-Ra looked down and found a scratch across her shirt.

 "Damn. That form is tough."

 "Well, nice to know that I'm strong enough to keep up, even if you're faster."

 Tigra's smirk turned downwards.

 "Are you underestimating me?"

 "Well, we just had proof." She-Ra shrugged.

 Tigra pinched the bridge of her nose, just as several explosions occurred to the side.

 'One of the clones must be getting desperate if they're using flame arrows or fireball.'

 "She-Ra, you do understand that I am not fighting at my maximum, correct?"

 "I mean…I figured seeing as you're not constantly breaking the sound barrier."

 "Then how are you so sure that you can keep up?"

 "Because…I need to?"

 Tigra released a sigh.

 "Also because I'm also not going full out?"

 Tigra did look at her at that, seeing a slightly sheepish look on her face.

 "I mean, we may be enemies, but that doesn't mean I want to hurt you."

 She-Ra waved at her face. "Is it getting hot in here?"

 Tigra took that moment to look around.

 Perfuma, Glimmer, Frosta, and Aero seemed to be being held back easily. Mermista, Morgan, and Glae were pushing their five clones back and were keeping them at long range.

 "Do you expect me to say it's just you?"

 She-Ra's face did actually turn a shade of pink at putting herself in that situation.

 "Wha...what?! That's not…" She-Ra huffed, her sword hitting the ground. "Catra's usually the one who does this to me. Why are both of you doing this now?"

 'Interesting.'

 Tigra had not been aware that Catra did that.

 It sounded fun for future thoughts.

 "Sorry, but…I've got a Runestone to take back."

 YAS, Cheetah, and Raiju activated, boosting her DEX to 10401 and her speed to Mach 5.7.

 The sound of the sound barrier being broken nearly caused everyone to pause, except for She-Ra as she cried out.

58467*0.4=23,387 damage dealt!

 

846,637 HP

 Tigra has slashed across her left arm, causing a line to appear on her skin. Tigra continued moving before She-Ra flew across the ground and slammed into the wall, creating a large dust cloud.

58467*0.4*6= 140,321 damage dealt!

 Tigra suddenly moved before appearing with a knee in Glimmer's chin while her attention had still been on the clone she had been fighting, knocking her head back and she could see that consciousness likely left Glimmer at that moment.

 When it came back, it would be too late.

3200 [Non-Elimination] damage dealt

 Another punch to Perfuma had her on the ground, yet she managed to wrap some vines on her feet as she fell.

2500 [Non-Elimination] damage dealt!

 Tigra saw Frosta break away from her clone and shoot a javelin of ice at her.

 The ice javelin shattered on contact, taking her by surprise before Tigra broke free of the vines and slammed a palm strike into the base of her neck.

1800 [Non-Elimination] damage dealt!

 Tigra then appeared in front of Bow, who took a step back.

 "Do you understand just why none of you are dead yet?"

 Bow shook his head.

 "The fact of the matter is that Adora, Catra, and I are 18. Your average age is 16. I don't like eliminating children. But mostly? You would all be turned into martyrs and we can't have that just yet."

 "Yet?"

 Tigra placed a claw at his throat.

 "For now, you could deal more damage to the Horde dead than alive. One single princess killed will turn every single kingdom from opposition of the Horde to annihilation of the Horde."

 A small push.

 "But that could easily change based on what your group does."

 Tigra backs away, just as Adora charges out of the wall towards her.

 Tigra barely managed to block the strike as a boom occurred on contact.

 They clash for a moment, sparks flying around them before Tigra flies backwards from a kick.

4000*0.29=1,160 damage taken!

 Tigra pushed herself up before seeing Catra at the entrance, who hadn't been noticed yet by the Rebellion.

 But the heat in the room?

 Suddenly the temperature skyrocketed, causing everyone to look at the Ember as lava/magma started to spew from it.

 "Everyone out!" She-Ra yelled, grabbing Glimmer and Frosta.

 She looked at Tigra with worry.

 Tigra waved her off, her own way of saying I'll be fine.

 She-Ra left while Aero picked up Perfuma and everyone began to leave.

 Except for Tigra.

 "Tigra!" Catra yelled before the wall collapsed due to the damage she dealt to the door earlier.

 Tigra looked at it.

 "Well, if it isn't the consequences of my actions." She hummed.

H2H gained 11,022 EXP!

 

Blades gained 169,362 EXP!

Blades leveled up! LV 37 → 69

For reaching up to LV 65, DEX increases by 6 and STR increases by 3

 

Physical Resistance gained 4000 EXP

Physical Resistance leveled up! LV 61 → 62

 

Magic Resistance gained 4000 EXP

 

 She shook her head before walking towards the Ember.

 She waded through the lava before it erupted more and the temperature skyrocketed, easily 6 maybe 9 times boiling point.

 She dismissed the clones, gaining 11,500 Exp for it.

 A minute passed before she saw a hint of ice through one of the cracks in the unstable ceiling now that this was active once more.

 Tigra closed her eyes before reopening them.

 "Alright, I don't know if that dream thing was real or not, but you can't burn me!"

 She slammed both of her hands onto the Ember as large amounts of lava covered the room and covered her.

 

*Catra*

 

 Catra sat on the skiff they were using as she watched the structure around Cadalia be covered in a massive ice glacier.

 "Come on Tigra." She muttered.

 Until she saw a beam of lava shooting into the air, melting straight through the prison of ice.

 

*Tigra*

 

 She stared at the Runestone in her hands as lava dripped off of her body.

 She had to carry it in both hands due to its size [2 ft by 1.5 ft] if she didn't want to feel off balanced, but it felt warm like laying in front of a fireplace.

 Suddenly, she could feel something coming.

 A large amount of magic.

 She created Ice Armor around her using her HP maximum while starting Flame Armor through her MP, pushing far past what she's done before.

HP: 124,420

Ice Armor: Lowers damage by 36.16% after all other reductions

 If one were to look at her, it would seem paradoxical that cold ice would be surrounding burning flames, yet all it did was cause the ice to glow brightly.

 A wave of rainbow came straight at her before she curled herself around the Runestone.

 The impact is one of the strongest things she has ever been hit by.

300,000 * 0.5775 [Magic Resistance] * 0.6384 [Ice Armor] = 110,603 damage taken!

 The wave ended nearly half a minute later.

 She breathed heavily before disabling Fire and Ice Armor and using heal.

 She breathed more steady before a grin went across her face.

 "That's not enough to snuff this Ember out."

 Tigra walked towards the entrance.

Magic Resistance gained 300,000 EXP!

Magic Resistance leveled up! LV 23 → 42

 

*Adora*

 

 Adora huffed as she barely kept herself on her legs. Her sword laid against the ground almost like a cane.

 "We did it." She breathed out.

 "Yeah, we did." Bow supported her.

 He lifted her arm around his shoulder.

 "It's a shame that we had to destroy it, but it was going to go critical again. If we didn't, we wouldn't have made it out of the danger zone quick enough."

 Mermista was on Adora's other side.

 "Hey, we agreed that we would destroy it should it be more harmful than helpful. Good job."

 "Still," Morgan started. "Sad to see it go. Bolt quite liked the stories surrounding the Runestone surrounding his race."

 "Yeah," Aero agreed. "But he'll understand us needing to stop a second Great Fire."

 "I'm just upset I wasn't able to fight the real one." Glae huffed. "While her fire clone was decent, it couldn't handle my ice rapier or spells."

 "I just want to get out of this heat." Adora finally spoke up again.

 "Is that so?"

 They all stilled at the voice and turned back towards the entrance and several inhales were heard.

 Tigra stood in front of all of them wearing some strange outfit.

 It looked like she was wearing armor made of lava as the flames or lava moved around her body. She also had obsidian like gauntlets from her fingers to her elbow.

 In her hands…was the Spirit Ember.

 The three who came with them fell back into a combat stance.

 "Well, at least we can bring it back to Bolt then." Aero broke the tension.

 Tigra chuckled before shaking her head.

 "I'm afraid…that you drastically misunderstand the situation."

 Tigra looked at the three of them before only holding the Ember with one hand.

 Her free hand created a ball of flame that seemed to shake. No, the right word would be vibrate.

 The shaking grew stronger before…

 Before the fire changed.

 It went from a dull yellow to a fierce red.

 Then a fierce red to a blazing blue.

 Morgan took a step back in shock.

 "You…you connected with the Spirit Ember!?"

 "What? But don't you need to be a princess to do that?"

 "It's a bit different with the Ember. Bolt says that only a family could connect with it. That is what primarily let the ruling family of Halfmoon stay in charge."

 "Thank you for the history lesson," Tigra interrupted, the ball of fire growing and shrinking constantly. "However, I have somewhere to be."

 She pointed her hand at them before the fireball…

 Disappeared?

 A sudden explosion next to her told Adora that the ball of fire wasn't dispersed.

 The two cries of shock and pain as she turned her head showed Aero and Glae flying back while covered in blue flames.

 Morgan created a water spear and threw it quickly.

 Yet all who were conscious watched as the water spear quickly evaporated within a foot of her.

 Tigra clenched her hand before all of the orange in her new look turned a brilliant blue.

 Fire came out of her feet before she quickly rose into the air.

 "Now then," Tigra spoke before she held her hand out at them again. "Goodbye."

 A wave of blue fire spewed out from her hand.

 Adora stumbled forward before transforming and changing her sword into a shield.

 She braced her arms and held her ground as she held back the attack.

 It felt like she was being cooked while even her shield seemed to slowly be gaining heat.

 A few seconds later though, she felt the flames stop.

 She looked over her steaming shield.

 Tigra was gone.

 "Morgan," Bow started. "What just happened?"

 Morgan snarled while clenching her hands.

*3rd point of view*

 Tigra landed a few feet away from the Super Pal Squad as a pop up showed itself.
