Never Alone

Alex took in the world as he opened his eyes and saw what was before him. Even as the bubble of slowed time came to an end, he could see the Dragon Emperor launch his bolt of lightning that came for him at an impossibly fast speed.

It was simply too quick for him to do anything else but teleport away. If he remained, the strength of the lightning bolt would have been sure to kill him.

However, at the moment it wasn't just himself he could think about. Liz, who had fallen unconscious behind him, would die as soon as he teleported away.

Whatever split second Alex had to make a decision ended up being not enough for him to make a good one. All he could do at that moment was hope he didn't die from the attack, and hope that protected his aunt somehow.

He belatedly began using his Qi to strengthen his body while knowing it was useless when suddenly something appeared in a flash in front of him.
