Were all so tired and we ache all over. The armona decided to send down one of their warriors zen-aku at ungodly hours. The battle proved to be a quite difficult one. Each of us got hit hard but not as hard as troy did.

I'm laying on the ground in pain. I have a gash on my arm and a few bruises but other than that I am fine. I look around everyone else is in about the same condition. Noah's to my left clutching his side. He has a few scrapes and cuts and one bruise on his left eye.

To my right, Jake had been just knocked off his feet.

He had gotten a few blows to the stomach and one too the arm but other than that he's fine. Gia had gotten off kinda smoothe. She had managed to block and avoid most of the blows, but zen-aku was able to get one strong blow to her collar bone.

" Noah, Gia, jake are you guys all right?" I ask. jake and Gia both look as if they might lose consciousness anytime soon

"Yeah, I'm good," said Noah obviously in pain.

"A few bruises but ships still sailing." said jake. YEP! He's fine. He still gots a sense of humor even in the direst of situations.

"Same," said Gia with a grunt.

That's good at least they're all right. But I'm more worried about troy. He has Blood streaming down from my his forehead. He has bruises all over his face and arms. And all because he wouldn't stay down and accept the fact that they have been beaten. That we have to strategize a plan to take zen-aku down.

I'm too weak to get up and stop him. All I can do to hope to get him to freeze is to call out to him. Make him notice that we are down.

"Troy!" I say as loud as I can manage.

It makes him freeze but he doesn't turn around. They have stopped fighting (thank god). There staring each other out barely moving. By now I think Gia, Noah, and jake have noticed. I call to him again

"Troy!" I say louder

He still doesn't turn around. Something must be wrong. He would never ignore us like this. A wave of pain goes through my head and suddenly it's black. Suddenly I am in a black room. I almost think I am alone when I see something up ahead.

Troy is up ahead with zen-aku in front of him cackling like a maniac. I start to hear him talk and stay quiet

"really red THIS is what you're afraid of. You couldn't have been afraid of spiders or something." Says zen-aku. He shakes his head in disbelief then everything is black again.

"AHHHHHH!"

A piercing scream wakes me up and I see Troy on His knees clutching his head. He is in pain but when I look around for zen-aku but he's is gone.
