"Alright, so...how do we get Dren here, back to normal?" "Well..." "No." "Hm?" "I don't want to be normal again. i like being a human, and living on Earth without hiding." "Dren..." "No!" "Argh, we'll discuss this later." "No, no discussing anything! I want to stay like..." "Shush!" "Did you just..." "SHUT UP!" Dren was silent while the others tried to come up with a way to get the humans back to Earth.
"Hey," "Hm...what?" "Look, its not that you don't suit being human, cause you do, truthfully," "Then why should I turn back if theres a way?" "Hm," Zoey kissed his cheek. "I like you just the way you were born. An alien." "Re...really!" "Have you not been paying attention to what I've been telling you? When I thought you were just a normal human!" "Ah...right." "Dren, you don't have to change who you are to get me to like you," "Then how..." "Hm, wait till the fighting is over, like now." She said and kissed him on the lips. He of course kissed back and was in heaven with her lips to his. "Just so you know..." She whispered into his ear, "I liked you back then too." "What...you did!" "Mhm, just couldn't say anything really, you know the whole mew mew thing." "You know, now that you mention it, that does make sense." Zoey smiled.
"Alright, we've come up with away...um..." "Whats the way?" Zoey asked as she stood when the others came back. "Well, there is a hidden portal room, that Deep blues knows nothing about." "Oh! Right!" "You know it?" "Yeah, thats...um...thats how I was going to keep you." Zoey blushed. "So how do we get there without being caught?" "Hm...through Dren's secret doors thats how, right Dren?" "Yeah. Theres one in the next room that leads right into the portal room." "Good, then lets get to that room and get these humans back to Earth...ah...with the exception of Dren of course..." "No." "Hm?" "I want to go back to Earth." "Not this again!" "I want to go back, but if theres away, I want to be me again when I go back." He said looking at Zoey and giving her a quick wink. "Dren..." "I've made my decision." "Fine. Now lets get to that portal room." Everyone snuck over to the next room, where there were several items that scared the wits out of Zoey. She bumped into something and wound up latched to Dren's arm. Making him very happy.
"Scared?" "A bit startled." "Thats alright, just cling to me and I'll keep you safe kitten." Zoey didn't respond, but kept herself latched to the green haired boy.
"Alright, which way now Dren? Dren?" Everyone turned and didn't see Dren or Zoey. "Where the hell did that guy go now!" "Don't know. Where's Zoey?" "Wherever she is Dren is sure to be." "Argh! That boy! You all don't have much time, before you're found out! What is he doing!" "Ha...who knows."
"Dren, I..." "Ssh, hold on a sec..." "I think we've lost the others though." "Hm? Shit, so we did...oh well, I have another way there." "Which is?" "Ah, just have a bit of...WHOA!" Dren nearly fell through a hole in the floor, but Zoey stopped him. "GEEZ! Hey! Come on! Stop messing around would you!" "Oh, yeah like falling down that thing was fooling around." "Why is there even a hole in the floor anyway!" "Don't know...that wasn't there before..." "...Can we please get out of here and back to the others?" "Yeah...ah...uhoh." "What now?" "The door is being guarded." "Great, why don't we go back that...AHH!" "Ssh! Keep it down! What?" "The...the way we just came...its..." "Oh, yeah now I know why the hole was there." "HuH?" "This is the hallway that leads to Deep Blue's chamber, and he made sure it had many tricks and traps, such as a hole in the floor and the vanishing hallway, and the guarded door, which is the entrance to his room." "Great! I thought we were suposed to be going to the portal room!" "Yeah, well...this is just a slight mistake, on my part." "So what now?" "I...hm...I say we finish what was started three years ago." Dren said as Deep blue entered his room. "Ah...are you sure?" "Why not?" "You aren't exactly able to fight him, now are you?" "...ha, guess not..." "Neither am I thanks to Elliot for taking my pendant," "Then I guess we find the others." "Yeah lets..." Silence. "Zoey? Zoey!" Dren turned and found Zoey gone. "Zoey! Oh, shit! I hate this stupid hallway!" He cursed the hallway.
"Dren! Dren! Where are you? Where am I?" Zoey wondered as she walked through a door, with strange looking walls. "Something tells me that I shouldn't be in here..." "What gave you that idea?" Zoey slowly turned to find that she was now facing Deep Blue. "Ah...I think...ARGH!" She was grasped by a pigtail and yanked closer. "OWW! That hurts you jerk! OW!" "Too bad, and here I thought I'd be left angry and want to destroy all these useless things because they let you escape." "..." "I'll still kill them all...or should I say you will." "Like hell! OW!" "Now, now, its time for Ryoko to finish what he'd been planning from the begining." Zoey struggled as she was yanked out of the room and dragged down the hall.
