He woke in a strange place, somewhere he didn't recognize. Somewhere he didn't know. He tried to move, but was unable to no matter how hard he tried. He glanced around, trying to see where he was, but all he saw was a dark room. That's all he could see. Darkness. He was surrounded by it. He couldn't access his powers. He couldn't do anything. He could be surrounded by the enemy and he wouldn't even know it. Let alone protect himself. His throat was dry and it hurt if he tried to speak. His eyes stung, either from being dry or the room was dusty. He just couldn't remember anything at all. Then light flashed in his eyes, people running in his vision.

First he saw Lloyd and Ali, hearing them screaming as someone or something cornered them. The fear in Lloyd's eyes terrified him. But that's not all he saw. Betrayal. He saw betrayal. Hurt, pain and suffering.

Then the image merged into more of his team running. Zane and Nya, along with Tylor and Stan. Zane kept glancing behind them. Clearly terrified, yelling that he was coming. That he was getting closer. That they needed to move faster.

Then it merged again and changed to Cole, winged Cole, fighting dragon Zack in the air. Cole screamed as Zack landed a blow and fell from the sky.

"Time to meet you end," a voice hissed.

He saw a familiar face in front of him. One he hated. One he never wanted to see again. One he thought he would never see again. A knife in hand. He tried to scream, but couldn't. Someone else screamed though. The person he was trying to save, trying to escape with. The person who surely was dead, or would be before anyone could rescue him.

Then the image merged to Lloyd again. This time, he was chained, locked in a cell. His suit was torn, ripped, dirty and unrecognizable. His blonde hair, mangled, dirty and flying in every direction. His head hung low, tears stained his cheeks through what looked like ashes on his face. Ashes that covered his whole body and uniform.

"You killed him," Lloyd mumbled. "You killed everyone."

He woke, for real this time. His breathing was rapid, sweat breaking down his face. Tears built in his eyes. The last second of his vision, Lloyd looked at him, whispering his name in hatred and fury. Anger. Betrayal.

What did he do? What had he done to anger Lloyd? To anger his teammates? Who did he kill? Hurt? What was he going to become? What was he going to do? What could he do? He pulled his knees to his chest, curling up into a ball. His name echoed in his head, Lloyd's voice being the one saying it. A nightmare that would never, ever, end.

"Alright, are we clear?" Zane asked.

"I think so," Stan nodded.

"Are you sure Zack can handle Cole?" Tylor asked. "I mean, he died saving you guys last time."

"I can handle it," Zack insisted. "Cole is still in there somewhere, and Dash is depending on me to bring him back."

"She's depending on all of us to stop this once and forall," Nya corrected.

Nya turned, looking at the large fortress they hid from. The one her brother and boyfriend were in. Supposibly. She hoped they would both still be alive when she found them.

"Alright, Nya and I will scope out an entrance," Zane said. "Then we'll call you guys over once we've found something."

Everyone nodded. Zane and Nya scaled up a couple trees to get a vantage point, and to be able to see the whole fortress. Nya looked around in silence. Zane felt that something was wrong and had to ask.

"You're pretty quiet," he said. "Everything alright?"

"I'm just worried, that's all," Nya sighed. "Kai's been gone the whole time, and we just lost Jay again."

"I'm sure they're both fine," Zane said.

A loud explosion erupted and knocked both of them out of the tree. They screamed as they fell to the forest floor. Tylor caught Nya as Zane recovered in time to land himself.

"What was that?" Zack asked.

"Fire!" a loud voice shouted.

"Take cover," Zane ordered.

Everyone nodded and ran in different directions. Nya dove behind more bushes, hearing the silence after another loud explosion. What was happening? Where they caught? Was everyone else alright?

"Watch out!" a voice yelled.

Nya looked up, seeing Zack in his dragon form attacking a group of guards. Nya glanced to her right and saw Zane watching to.

"Zane!" Nya called.

Zane looked to her, and she created a water orb. Zane nodded. She blasted a group of guards with water, then Zane jumped and froze them solid. They ran out, continuing to attack them. Nya saw a bolt of lightning neon coloured lightning shock a guard. She turned, seeing Stan shooting lightning at them. It was the first time she had seen him us his powers. Maybe Tylor would show them his too.

"Nya! Watch out!" a voice yelled.

Nya spun around as an arrow flew at her. Then Tylor appeared, knocking the arrow of it's path and to the ground at Nya's feet. Tylor glared at the archer, then teleported behind him and punched him in the head. The archer fell to the ground. Tylor picked up the bow and arrows.

"I wish Dash was here," he muttered.

"So do I, but it's of no use unless you can use it," Nya said, running to him.

Tylor shrugged and handed it to her. She loaded it and launched an arrow at a guard, hitting him in the arm.

"I can hit them, not kill them," Nya said.

Tylor focused and sent a blast of water at the guard Nya hit. Nya turned to him, confused.

"How did you do that?" she asked.

"I'm a master of amber, alright," he moaned. "Just shoot people and I'll take them out."

Nya shrugged it off and nodded. After a couple minutes, they had taken everyone out and were regrouping. Then they heard a loud roar from Zack. They looked up, seeing him breaking into battle with Cole.

"Zack!" Tylor shouted.

"Attack!" a voice yelled.

They turned to the fortress and saw millions of Death Shadows charging at them.

"Find the girl!"

The Death Shadow Leader stood behind them all, a frightened Jay chained beside him.

"Jay!" Nya cried.

"Nya, we need to run," Zane said.

"We can't leave Jay behind!" Nya insisted.

"We can't take all the death shadows on!' Zane replied. "We will get him another time."

Nya glanced at Jay, then followed after Zane, Stan and Tylor.

"You'll never escape without the girl!' the Death Shadow Leader shouted to them. "Only she can free them."

"They won't let you get her," Jay snapped. "Never."

"Silence, fool," he ordered. "Speak when spoken to."

"You did speak to me," Jay retorted.

"I said enough!" he snapped.

Jay growled. He was furious. He wanted to access his powers. He wanted to find Kai. To save Cole. To escape the crazy man holding him hostage. Or even beat him up, that would work too. All he could do though, was watch the Death Shadows chase Nya, Zane, Tylor and Stan into the forest. That, and watch Cole try to tear Zack apart.
