Two uploads in one night. I hope you enjoy! Thanks to Randomdragon for letting me know about a small error om my part.

Dash sat in the infirmary, her chin resting on her arms on a table. Her eyes bounced from the table to the frozen Lloyd before her. She was trying to brainstorm any ideas on freeing him while Ali was still asleep. She didn't jump when Mai placed a hand on her shoulder.

"You should go get some sleep," Mai said softly. "It's getting late."

"I can't sleep," Dash replied.

"Why?"

"There's too much on my mind," Dash replied. "Kai, Jay and Cole are still gone, Ali is out cold and Lloyd is still frozen solid. Not to mention that Nadakhan could appear at any time."

Mai sighed. Dash looked up at the platinum blonde girl above her. She followed the girl's gaze, seeing her eyes landing on Lloyd.

"He's not as big of a worry as the others," Mai said. "I haven't been able to check Ali for injuries while she's sleeping. And no one knows the conditions Jay, Kai and Cole are in right now."

Dash nodded.

"I mean, other than the sleep spell," Dash sighed.

"We don't even know where Cole is right now," Mai said. "We only know he's in the realm."

Dash's eyes lit up. Cole and Lloyd were in similar states. Locked in a deep sleep.

"It might not do much, but I think I have an idea," Dash looked up to Mai.

"What are you thinking?" Mai asked her.

"You know how I was able to talk to Lloyd in the dreamworld?" Dash asked her.

"Yeah," Mai said, unsure where she was going with her thoughts.

"Even though I don't know where he is right now, I would be able to locate him in the dreamworld and talk with him," Dash said. "And from the information we've got from Nya, we'll know if he's been moved anywhere, if he's injured, et cetera."

"You're a genius," Mai smiled.

"Thanks," Dash replied.

"So, what now?" Mai asked.

"I'll have to locate him, which will take a while," Dash said. "The others should be up soon. When they wake up, have them go to Borg's and work on finding Kai's powers in his system. By then, Ali should be awake and I'll be back here. Then we can work on getting out plan into action."

"Ok, good luck," Mai smiled.

Dash muttered a couple words of a spell to herself and searched for Cole. It took a while, but she found him in the dreamworld eventually.

"Cole! Can you hear me?" Dash asked.

"Dash?" Cole replied.

He turned, seeing her. They smiled and ran to each other.

"I've missed you so much," Dash whispered to him.

"Same here," Cole replied. "But how are you here? How can you be talking with me?"

"My magic is allowing this," Dash replied. "Are you Ok?"

"Yeah," Cole replied. "You have no idea how boring it is being unable to move or speak to anyone when they come."

"Have you been taken anywhere?" Dash asked him.

"Yeah, I was," Cole replied. "After I heard Kai, Nya and Jay a little while ago, someone came and moved me elsewhere."

"Are you hurt?" Dash asked.

"Not really?" Cole replied. "What's with all the questions?"

"Everyone is falling apart at home," Dash sighed. "Lloyd is still frozen, Kai and Jay are kidnapped by the djinn. Nya escaped him with Ali-"

"Why would she rescue her?" Cole snapped.

"What do you mean?" Dash asked, taken back.

"Why would Nya rescue that backstabbing traitor?" Cole spat.

"What are you talking about?" Dash asked him.

"You should know," Cole growled.

"No, I don't," Dash replied. "Can you tell me?"

"If you trust her, then you won't listen to reason anyways," Cole turned his back on Dash.

"Why won't you just tell me?" Dash cried.

Cole didn't respond.

"Cole, don't give me the silent treatment," Dash begged. "Please. Just talk to me."

Cole crossed his arms, not turning back to Dash.

"Cole, please," Dash begged.

Tears sparked in Dash's eyes.

"Cole," she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Go away!" Cole snapped.

Dash stumbled backwards, eyes wide with shock and surprise. She shook, terrified. Cole simply glared at her.

"Just leave me alone, Ok!" Cole snapped.

Dash felt tears slip down her cheeks.

"I wish you never came back, to me," Cole muttered. "All you are is a pain and annoyance."

Dash felt her heart shatter. She took a step back.

"You don't mean that," Dash mumbled. "Do you?"

"What do you think?" Cole yelled at her. "I hate you!"

Dash looked down. Her heart was shattered, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Fine," Dash mumbled. "I guess we're over then."

"We never started to begin with," Cole spat.

"Don't worry about me coming back then," Dash said softly.

Then she disappeared from Cole. Her world swirled around her, and she saw Mai at her side.

"The others are gone to Borg's," Mai said. "How did things go with Cole?"

Dash wiped a couple tears from her eyes. Mai saw them and knew something bad had happened.

"What happened, Dash?" Mai asked her.

"He's gone, Mai," Dash said quietly. "I thought I found him, but it wasn't him."

"What do you mean?" Mai asked her.

"Nadakhan tricked me," Dash said. "It wasn't him I spoke to. Nadakhan's done something to Cole. I know it."

"Then time is running out," Mai said. "Let's hope Ali and the others get back soon."

Dash turned and saw Ali's bed empty.

"She woke when I was talking with the others," Mai said. "She wanted to go, so we allowed her to."

Dash nodded.

"Go sleep," Mai said. "I'll wake you when the others get back, Ok?"

"Ok, thanks Mai," Dash gave her a small smile before walking to her room.

Mai waited until Dash was gone and out of earshot.

"I found him but it wasn't him?" Mai questioned. "It wasn't him I spoke to? What happened while you were gone, Dash? What's happened to Cole?"

Kai stumbled into a dark room, his heart pounding at a hundred miles an hour. He spun around as the door was closed and the lights came on.

"What do you want with me?" Kai stuttered.

Kai's eyes were glued to Nadakhan, who floated around him.

"Could you explain your little friends magic to me?" Nadakhan asked him.

"What?" Kai asked, confused.

"That dark magic user," Nadakhan said. "Dash, I think her name is. Explain her powers to me."

Kai gulped, backing away from the djinn.

"What exactly are you wanting to know?" Kai asked.

"How did she get those powers?" Nadakhan asked.

"Sometimes it's a curse, sometimes you're born with them through family," Kai said.

"Cursed?" Nadakhan questioned. "Which was she?"

"I think it was family, but I don't know," Kai replied. "She doesn't talk about her past to anyone. No one knows entirely."

"How do you know this much about her?" Nadakhan asked him.

Kai went silent, backing away from him.

"Why does she trust you so much?" Nadakhan asked.

Kai backed into a wall, searching for an escape route.

"Answer the question, boy," Nadakhan said. "Then you'll go back to your friend."

"I-I-I-I," Kai stuttered.

"Just spit it out," Nadakhan told him.

"She trained me," Kai muttered.

"She trained you?" Nadakhan questioned.

Kai nodded. Nadakhan grabbed his arm, pulling them close.

"You know dark magic then," Nadakhan said.

Kai nodded.

"Then you'll be of great use to me," Nadakhan said.

Nadakhan lead Kai forwards, away from the dungeon.

"What about Jay?" Kai asked. "You said you would take me back to him if I answered you question."

"Well, things have changed," Nadakhan replied.

Kai gulped, being pulled into another room. Nadakhan shoved him against the wall and chained him to it. Kai looked up, unmoving at the djinn before him. He looked back down at the chains, pulling on them.

"You aren't getting out of those, so there's no point in even trying," Nadakhan told him.

Kai looked up as Nadakhan moved to the door.

"Where are you going?" Kai asked. "What are you doing with me?"

"You'll know in due time, boy," Nadakhan replied. "Just stay put where you are. I'll be back in a couple minutes."

Kai gulped as the door closed. He was alone. Jay was alone. And Nadakhan wanted something from him, and it didn't look good.
