Chapter 3: What's Going On?

In Chaotic, Kaz returned from his trip and reunites with Tom, Peyton, and Sarah.

"What happened while you were there?" Sarah asked.

Tom added," Did you find out why the figure told you to go the Underworld City?"

"I-"Kaz paused for a moment. He didn't know how to answer either one of the questions. He promised Takinom that he wouldn't tell anyone about Chaor being kidnapped or the fact that he isn't well. A moment later, he said," I can't say."

The group was astonished because they did come up with a situation like that before.

"Why can't you?" Peyton questioned.

Kaz answered," Because it's a secret."

"That's what friends do," Tom said. "They tell each other's secrets."

"They also keep them too," said Kaz. "I know it seems weird but-"

Suddenly, a black boy with an orange T-shirt and blue jeans interrupts the conversation. He was running (if not, sprinting) in his red sneakers to him and grabbed his shirt as he tries to catch his breath.

"Darrin, what are you doing here?" Kaz asked.

Darrin began explaining," I ported to Fear Valley and I found this weird creature. He asked me if I had known anyone named KidChaor and I said, 'Yeah, I battled him last week' so I told him about you. Then, he forced me to contact you. I could've been code back there if I didn't so I dialed your number on my scanner and gave it to him. After he sent you the message, he made me my prisoner for a moment. Luckily, he was 'nice' enough to let me lose. After that was over, I came to tell you what happened."

Kaz realized the message on the scanner. Just to be sure, he asked, "What did he look like?"

"Let me think," Darrin began to the image of the creature in his mind. "He's big and defiantly a creature. He was wearing a white mask and a brown cloak."

"That's him!" yelp Kaz. "Maybe he knows where Chaor is."

"Chaor?" Tom, Peyton, and Sarah said with confusion. Then Tom asked, "What's going on, Kaz?"

"I don't have time to explain right now," said Kaz. "I have to help Chaor before it's too late." He was about to dash to the Transport Center, but Tom got a hold of him arm.

"Kaz," Tom said," what's going on? I want some answers."

"I don't have time." Kaz said as he freed himself from his grip. "Besides, you almost got blasted by Chaor while you were on Kiru City's walls."

"That happened like forever ago." Peyton pointed out.

"The point is that I don't want to lose you guys," Kaz replied with a sad expression, "Besides; I have to do this on my own." He stands on a white disk at the Transport Center and ports himself to Fear Valley.

"We can't let Kaz go there alone." Tom said.

"But he said-"Darrin was about to explain what Kaz said before, but he didn't let him say it.

"Forget what he said," ordered Tom, "He might be in trouble right now."

"Maybe; we should look after him. Just in case if something fishy does go on." Peyton suggested.

Tom agreed," Sounds good to me. Let's go!" He heads for the Transport Center to follow Kaz.

"Me too." says Sarah as she follows him.

"It wouldn't be a party without me." Peyton said as he tries to catch up with them.

As Tom, Sarah, and Peyton transport themselves into Fear Valley, Darrin remembered his match is coming up soon. He quickly ran to the Beta Drome worried that he would be late for his match.

Meanwhile, Chaor woke up in the dungeon like room, again. He heard footsteps coming from the other side of the room. Sure enough, Dimiz emerged from the opening door with his blue mask facing him. Chaor used a Flame Orb on Dimiz, but it went out into a puff of smoke when it reached its target.

"What's wrong, Chaor," taunt Dimiz. "Ran out of fire power?"

Dimiz giggled to himself with the pun, but it wasn't funny for Chaor due to lack of energy he had left and his fever reaching its boiling point.

"You don't look so high and mighty anymore," Dimiz said as he moves closer to Chaor, "You might want to get some rest so the poison can work faster. Kintu poison can destroy you faster if you're asleep than if you're awake and with the tiredness and the high fever it's a battle."

Dimiz approached his hand close to Chaor's chest, but Chaor took the privilege and punched him on the stomach. He quickly backed away.

"Even though you're all grown up," Dimiz said," you are still a little brat."

As Dimiz heads for the door, Chaor did one last effort to attack him. He threw a Flame Orb at Dimiz, but (like before) it burned out before it even hits its target. Dimiz made it to the door without harm. He opened, went through the door, and locked it behind him as he left Chaor to endure the poison.

He thought about doing a Rustoxic on the chains so he can break them more easily and become free; but even so, he's too weak to stand or move himself. There is not much he can do right now except fighting to stay awake for if he loses this battle, it could cost him his life.
