Third person POV
And then, as the fight came to a close, Nicholas and his 4 escorts came to the scene, only to see what had happened. Both sides then looked at him and his 4 guards. Elai and her party had just regained consciousness, except that Belius gagged and spitted out because of the printer ink on him and his body and clothes. Russell and James then noticed that the crowned prince and some of his escorts had appeared in the scene.
"Your Highness!" James responded to him.
"Your Highness!" Elai added as well.
"What is going on here?" Nicholas demanded an explanation. "And what was that Flaming Phoenix that I saw recently?"
Elai and her party tried to make excuses to get out of trouble, but Russell revealed to the crowned prince what they had done to him recently.
He then showed him the cut on his arm and uniform sleeve as proof, which Elai tried to dismiss as a cut she didn't inflict on him.
James backed up his testimony with his own.
And then, Nathan and Azalea came to the scene, and Nathan handed his photos of the fight to Nicholas as proof, much to the horror of the Elai party. But Nicholas listened to Russell's and James' stories and took a look at Nathan's photos, before looking at Russell's cut. Then, being fully convinced by these pieces of evidence, Nicholas looked at the Elai party with coldness and anger on his face. "How dare you hurt the Bus Driver Hero and vandalize his precious asset?"
But before Elai or her party would respond, Aren came down from the tree and appeared before them with a formal gesture to top it off. Russell and the others were shocked to see him. "Good evening to all of you," Aren said to them with an innocent look on his face.
Nicholas was clearly not happy at his presence within his territory. "How dare you trespass into my territory, you crow bastard?"
Russell was stunned at Nicholas' nickname for Aren, but James told him that Aren had an animal-based ability known as Crows, much to Russell's shock and surprise.
"Hey!" Hans said to Aren. "Why you didn't help us?"
"Help?" Nicholas became colder at this.
The Elai party then looked at him and trembled at his ice-cold glare.
Azalea and Nathan then ran towards Russell and asked him if he was okay. "Oh, hey guys," Russell said to them. "Yes, I am fine, except for this." He then showed them the cut on his arm and uniform. His two friends were shocked to see that.
"What happened?" Nathan gasped.
"These guys did it." James entered their conversation and pointed his finger at the Elai party for a brief moment.
Nathan and Azalea looked at the said party and were shocked.
Azalea was angry at them and was about to go to avenge Russell when Nathan stopped her.
Back at the other side, Aren said to them with style, "I am actually helped these fallen heroes of yours to avenge Russell May, the Bus Driver Hero of yours."
Nicholas and some of his escorts were thoroughly disgusted by it and looked at the Elai party with anger and disgust.
"You did what?" Nicholas grabbed Elai by her clothes.
"Look, it's not what you think!" Elai begged him with feat.
But then, Aren clearly had the audacity to expose his dirty affair with Elai, all loud, clear, and in every detail possible. Both Nicholas and Russell were shocked by what the prince of Batela said about what he and Elai did privately together. Elai was horrified by her new lover's clear exposure of her actions with him.
"And we did that with our hearts together and our desires strong passionately," Aren continued on with a play-like style and tone of his gestures and voice, "our lips touched together with our passions intertwined with each other."
Nicholas was disgusted by his continuing response, while Russell felt so sick, he could vomit.
But Russell did his best not to puke out his lunch and snack food; otherwise, it would be a waste of the prince's cooking for him and others.
Nathan was horrified by it. "What the…? ¡Mierda (Fuck in Spanish)!"
James and Azalea were so disgusted that both of them almost fainted from vertigo.
But also, despite the words being too graphic, Russell kept Theodore's last parts of his play-like, poetic-like lines in his mind because he liked them.
And so, with that, Aren waved at them. "Alright then, I am out of here. Ta-ta!" He then used his magic to disappear from the scene in crows' feathers. That person was never seen again on that night, abandoning and ditching Elai and her party with Nicholas, Russell, and the others.
Because of that, as Adrian and the rest of Russell's party arrived at the scene, Nicholas slapped Elai in the face while commanding his escorts to arrest her party. Elai's party tried to resist arrest with their abilities and magic, only for Nicholas to use his Nullification ability to nullify their magic, disabling them from using them for now.
Russell was stunned to see Nicholas' ability, and the Elai party was angry upon getting apprehended and arrested by the crowned prince.
