Sehki's Paladins, the employees at Benjin's Bistro, Professor Delta, and recent views Xia and Calypsa all watched the mask fall off, but the video focusing on the podcast couldn't properly see his face as it transitioned to one flying in motion at him and Rigal.

The flame heir's strands of hair rose throughout her body. "Did he just say that it was Sehki?"

Calypsa smiled. "We'll see."

Sehki smirked.

"Think so? News flash," swinging his shadow to Rigal's feet, and propelled themselves above him. Smashing his foot onto his face and torso, he began surfing on his body through the center before kicking him off.

"Next time you try to kill someone," forming shadow hands above him, "make sure you put them down," slamming him to the ground, "for good!"

He put the mask back on seconds before the video drones could get a closer look, opening up holostreams with readable chat boxes.

Is the jig up? Wait, reading, they're not sure either. Come think of it, there's only like thirty people who know the truth. Let's mess around just a little further.

Rigal blew away the smoke from his crash, equally pissed off. "That face."

"You think I'm Prince Sehki? But isn't he dead," making sure the objects recording him were close enough to hear him.

"But you're-"

"Shadow Paladin," bowing. "Son of a war fighter turned secret deserter who took out his mental anguish on his family. The mask and bandages cover my scars, and the person I couldn't save," picking himself up, and showing the right side of his face with the burned scar.

"You sounded surprised that the long lost Prince survived. Survived what? Do you know if he was killed or attacked? Cuz the only person strong enough to kill an heir is another Divine Heir or a Planetary President. Did you or one of the other heirs kill Prince Sehki?"

A drop of sweat from Rigal's face only made him continue more. "Well, you and Princess Xia would be the only ones capable of that."

Taylor, watching with Delphine, appalled. "Is he calling me weak?"

Ainsley figured the reverse. "Being strong to handle us himself and to rile them up."

Rigal watched the comments start to split between "no way," and "wait, that makes sense."

"Are you trying to defame me?"

"No, of course not. But if you can't even beat me, I guess you couldn't kill him after all," itching Rigal's fury even more.

"You want to fight me?"

"Well it makes me wonder, his parents betrayed Terra, not him. So did he die because someone thought he'd end up like his parents, did we kill an innocent person? Or did you kill him because you were afraid he could beat you."

"Beat me? I'm the strongest of all the heirs! If he comes back, I'll clobber him ag...a lot!"

"And what if he is innocent, if he comes back for revenge? Then a fight between heirs breaks out, all that negativity attracts Voids. They may be monsters but at this rate they're more united with us. But your girlfriend's trying to save you and you're out here trying to pick a fight with a civilian? You're supposed to be Shugoda's champion?"

Rigal's eyes jittered at the comments: weirdo's got a point + cheater + not alpha + liar + bitter heir? + where's Prince Sehki + beta + damaged more than his goods, rapidly aching and pounding in his head back and forth, biting his teeth and screaming from the top of his lungs.

Sehki tightened up from a concentrated aura of moisture forming around him as Rigal stomped his feet, breathing out deeply, taking a stance and his eyes glowed white.

His body told him to move, leaping away from the giant blast of wind Rigal threw with a punch of his right fist the size of his body, blowing a whole tree down.

"Omega scum!" He flicked down his hand, launching an eagle shaped fist Sehki narrowly rolled from, using the other to send it flying back at him, throwing him towards the falling tree.

"Bow down to your Alpha!"

Rilis and Kayla watched on with shock and surprise when Rigal wrapped his fists into a cyclone. Sehki jumped into the tree's shadow from his attacks that drilled a hole into the bark, flying out when it faded to kick him in the face.

The Shugoda heir gripped his shirt, throwing him in the air and leaping after him Sehki's dark shadow barely saved him from a gut punch sending him to the building's center.

"I think I made him mad," sliding into his own shadow from the center's reflection, spotting Rigal flying after him from behind, and the drones attempting to capture his movements in front of him, some even blocking him once he leapt away.

He shot a fireball to propel him from Rigal's charge, sliding onto a restaurant stand, jumping onto the power lines with his shadow morphed into a hoverboard, and diving to spring off a wyvern shaped building, using its wings to dodge his bully's relentless projectiles and reckless pursuit.

"Get back here, you low class omega!"

"You wanna be an untested, unstable, alpha build," swinging off a nearby drone with a water whip, charging up a fire fist within his shadow and covering his arm in it back at Rigal,so fast, hands formed a spiral sphere of energy in surprise. "Then I'll crush your ego here and now!"

Both of them collided in midair, but the sheer force propelled Sehki back to the top of a train with no breaks whatsoever.

Huh, recalling the night an older person went to pick up one of Flint's bullies, forcing Shemar into a fight once he confirmed it was him, and Shemar and Flint running inside and outside of the train every second it reached the platform, running to the end or hoping off a different drain in pursuit.

"Good times. Man my life is depressing."

To make matters worse, Rigal came flying through the night after him.

"I just had to fight a nepo baby with eagle powers. Well, no one ever said getting revenge on the bullies who tried to murder you would be easy," already thinking of a plan.
