"You can feel him! Why aren't we going to get him?!" Nushi growled as she held her father in her fist up in the air.
MEx was really getting tired of this, and the fact that the last person to do this was the same one that said this exact thing. Nixi had said this was going to happen if he put it inside of her, and low and behold, Mex was floating in the air.
"You know why we can't go! Zack is out of reach right now, and we had to wait for him! No, put me down! I am still your father, and you shouldn't be taking after your grandmother! This world is strange, and I know you think you are strong, but you saw what attacked him!" Mex growled back, and Nushi finally realized herself and put her father down.
After shrinking down, Nushi turned from Mex and stretched her hand out to the side. Her book appeared there, and she started to browse through her father's story, but it was the same thing.
"Why did Dao have to pick you? Why didn't he take someone else!" Nushi cursed to herself.
"I Didn't ask for that man to like me! In fact, I tried to make myself seem despicable so he would at least take you all!" Mex shouted, feeling out of sorts because he also wanted to go to get Zack.
"It has nothing to do with you being his friend, but if you were strong, this would have never happened! How does a demon lose its Rank? You weren't always like this, I have read your history, but there is no explanation to how or why you dropped from a C rank to F?!" Nushi exclaimed, and she whirled around.
The air started to charge as her now thick and curled horns crackled with power. Hydie was sitting in the corner in a chair and studying a spot on the floor with total concentration.
"I gave it away; Rank can be earned in many different ways. One of them is by receiving another's accumulated Experience Orb from a living Demon. This forces them to regrow the Exp Orb, and the level is reset. The Demon that receives it must cultivate the power of the gain Exp Orb, and that means mental and physical training," Mex explained, ignoring the stab Nushi had made about his strength.
"Then who did you give it to?" Nushi asked, but in a much calmer tone.
"You, who else? Your mother was the daughter of a high-ranking demon lord, and Nixi had said that was more than enough, but I made her pull mine out. You have it in you, and you will continue to grow," Mex explained, and Hydie grinned, winning a personal bet with herself.
Nushi was frozen for a moment, but then she opened her book up and started flipping through it. As she went back and forth, Hydie got up and walked over to Mex, looking at his right temple curiously.
It didn't matter what place or what way she looked; she would have seen it the same. This was Air and Water magic, very similar to her own, and Hydie was about to ask Mex about the barrier around this mind, but Nushi came over with horns crackling.
"What is that thing in your head? Why is it blocking me from reading your mind?!" Nushi growled.
"You tell me! But if you can read my mind, it is better to be there for both of us! Calm down; the man is just recovering; you can feel him getting stronger, right? I know you can, so go calm down!" Mex said in a tired voice, getting tired of fighting with his supposedly adorable and favorite little girl.
Not so little, but He had known this day would come. All Nixi's planning was actually finally coming to bear, but she was going to be changing into something different.
Nushi stormed out of the room, but Hydie stayed behind, still looking at Mex.
"Something wrong?" Mex asked, and Hydie was still looking at him, but then she reached up to his head.
Mex jumped back quickly, and Hydie was left with a blank look on her face and her hand still in the air.
"What are you trying to do, child?! You do not want to let out what is inside of my head; this was done but another storm spirit, in the previous world that I was on, and it was much different than this one," Mex warned and explained.
Mex didn't even know what might happen, and he was hoping that Kazz could remove the Demon from him if it worked on the girls. Not in the same way, of course, but there should be something different for him to be able to do.
"Sorry, it just felt familiar, and I thought that I might be…." Hydie said and turned away.
"Go watch over my daughter please, you two should be sticking together while in this world, but I think that we will meet your mother at sea. I want you to know that your father is a very good man, and so is Zack," Mex explained, and Hydie sighed but nodded.
"I know this, dad only wanted me to be prepared for the world and Ka-... Zack… still weird to say, but he is more than just good," Hydie said with a dreamy smile that created small static discharges that rolled across her elemental body.
"Your mother is not, and you should not be excited to meet her. Your father fought her on our trip over to the island. I am sure you know what I mean when I say fight, but when pure elemental forces merge briefly and create intense energies under incredible pressure. This creates an Elemental Egg from the merger, and your father was able to bargain with your mother for you," Mex explained, and Hydie nodded and turned, leaving the cave they were all in, and Horus walked in after Hydie left.
