The next day, I woke up early and headed to the courtyard with Cain and Able. The campus was buzzing with excitement as the students prepared for the arrival of the Elf Embassy. There were decorations everywhere, and the air was thick with the scent of freshly baked goods. I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease, knowing that danger was lurking just beneath the surface.
As the day progressed, I kept a watchful eye on everything that was happening. The elves arrived in the late afternoon, dressed in their finest robes and carrying a large gift box. Colette was practically bouncing with excitement as she greeted them, her eyes shining with anticipation.
The queen of the elves stepped forward with two towering guards behind her, carrying a large ornate chest.
"Greetings," She spoke eloquently, her voice echoing through the room. "I am Queen Eladriel, and I have come to extend an olive branch of peace between our peoples. And to show our sincerity, I present to you this gift." She gestured to the chest as the guards carefully opened it, revealing a set of wands inside.
Several students gasped and murmurs spread through the crowd. The wands were unmistakably the stolen ones.
"That's my wand!" A student shouted, pointing towards the chest.
The sudden accusation set off a chain reaction of anger and distrust among the students. "They must have stolen them!" One student accused, while others began to chant in agreement.
As tensions mounted, a fiery projectile was launched toward the queen. Her expression turned icy and she raised a barrier of Abjuration magic to deflect the attack. "How dare you attack me!" She roared, her eyes flashing with fury. "I came in good faith, seeking peace, and you responded with violence! Guards, defend yourselves!"
The courtyard was in complete disarray as spells and weapons flew in every direction. I turned to Colette, determined to put an end to the chaos. "I think I might be able to put a stop to this. Can you create a distraction?" I asked her.
She smiled, showing that she had a trick up her sleeve. "You're not the only one with a family spell. Go ahead, I'll take care of things here," she said confidently.
I quickly sprinted forward, with Colette's chant fading in the background. After a while, I caught a glimpse of the elven queen, but before I could make a move, an ear-piercing screech echoed throughout the courtyard. I turned around to see Colette standing atop a massive, 20-foot-tall demonic creature with crimson skin.
"They dare summon a demon against me!" the queen roared, her voice thick with fury. "Conjurers, summon the King at once!"
I run forward and kneel before Eladriel, “Please my queen let me explain,”

“There is nothing to explain,” She yelled back,
“You found those wands correct?” She stopped moving, “They were planted by an anti-elf group that had stolen all of the students' wands.” I tried to kneel even lower, “I know their actions were unexcusable, but please try to forgive them,”
I heard another roar, I looked up to see a large red dragon coming out of a portal.
“I am sorry human,” The queen said, “But it is too late now,”
I looked at the dragon, “If I defeat the dragon, will you call off the attack?”
She scoffed, “You would need an army of tier 10 mages to defeat that thing,”
I felt some of Alexander’s confidence take over me, “I don’t need an army, I have an Alexander,”
I ran towards the dragon, feeling Alexander's energy surging through me. "Are you sure you want to do this?" Alexander asked. "There's no going back once it's started."
"I'm ready," I replied, feeling more determined than ever.
I take a deep breath and we both yell out at the same time, “Soul Summon!”
I stop running as I feel Alexander forcing himself out of my soul. In front of me stands a tall man, about 21 years old, with short brown hair and piercing silver eyes that shine with the glee of a kid in a candy shop. He wears a white polo shirt that accentuates his chiseled physique. He balls up a fist and a smirk forms on his lips as he looks at me.
"I guess it really does bring me back to my prime," Alexander said with a laugh. "Time to have a little fun." He looked towards the dragon. "It's just one dragon. Maybe they have another. That might make this fair."

(Alexander’s POV)
As much as I would like to enjoy this fight to its fullest, I can’t. I need to end this as fast as possible. I dash toward the dragon, as I run I recite something I memorized as a child.
"A D-Police Officer never goes into battle unprepared," I feel the weight of my sword appears in my hand, "A D-Police Officer always fights for what is right, no matter the cost," I dodge a bolt of fire from the dragon, "A D-Police Officer never gives up, even in the face of overwhelming odds."
I focus all of my D-Force on my sword. The energy flowing through me is almost overwhelming compared to Quinn. With a fierce battle cry, I swing my sword toward the dragon. A powerful blast of energy shoots out of the blade, striking the dragon's leg and causing it to fall to the ground in agony.
"You think that's all I got?" I taunt the dragon, "Just wait until I really get started."
I effortlessly absorbed my energy back from the air. For most people, this would be an impossible feat, but for me, it was second nature. However, I knew that I couldn't afford to waste any time playing around. I needed to finish this battle as quickly as possible. I decided to use one of the stronger techniques that Kierra had taught me, and I couldn't forget how Jay had set up all the practice dummies for me to perfect it.
I leaped into the air, and as I looked down at the dragon, I felt a smirk form on my lips. "Infinite Cutting Blades!" I yelled as I swung my sword continuously, unleashing a torrent of energy that erupted from the blade. The technique sent multiple, razor-sharp energy blades raining down on the dragon. It roared in agony as it tried to dodge the attacks but to no avail.
The dragon fell, dead before me. But I fell as well, I had used too much energy in that attack, and I could feel myself fading by the second. But still I smiled, maybe Jay and Kierra would come, hopefully they’ll wait a week. My soul began to return to Quinn's body, and I knew that my time as an independent entity was coming to an end.
