"This way!" Tecna shouted, seeing an opening up ahead of them.

"Light Spectrum!" Stella shouted.

"Volcanic Attack!" Bloom launched hers quickly. The creature roar as it was blinded by the two attacks.

"Let's go while we have the chance!" Brandon ordered, taking the lead. Once the group was safely down the tunnel, the Squire told Tecna to block the entrance.

They shudder as the cavern came crashing down as blue flames were douse by the dust.

"That was too close," Roy gasped out, dropping to the ground.

"How's your girl?" Riven asked. The group look over to a very pale Stella who collapse onto the ground. Transforming back to her Explorer outfit.

"Stella!" They cried out in alarm. Brandon pick her up into his arms.

"The darkness is sucking out anything that is light. Which means, we need to find a light source that corresponds with her powers and fast," Tecna stated.

"Stars..." Stella mumbled softly.

"What?" Riven and Roy looked at Brandon. Bloom's eyes look up.

"Can you repeat that, Stella?" Brandon asked, becoming worry as Stella's eyes began to flutter close.

"The stars...are pointing that way..." She pointed behind them.

"The stars?" They look up but saw nothing.

"Am I the only one who can't see it?" Riven asked.

"The stars are pointing that way, we must follow it," Bloom said, her eyes never leaving the ceiling.

"It beats fire-breathing dog out there, so follow the stars it is," Roy pointed out.

The others quickly agreed, not wanting to face that creature anytime soon.


"Hey Timmy!" Sky called out to his friend. Timmy looked up from his multi screens.

"Why don't you take a break for a bit," Sky suggested, coming to peer at one of the screens. Digits moving down at a fast pace.

"No can do, Sky," Timmy said, squinting at something.

"That's strange."

"What? What is it?" Sky looked over. Timmy pointed to a red dot.

"I'm picking up large amount of energy here. It was moving before but it stop. Now it's gathering large amount of energy that I've never seen before."

"Should I be worry about this?" The Crown Prince asked.

"Yeah, seeing as it went after Team A," Timmy said, pointing to a series of red dots.

"They seem to moving away. I won't get any clear idea where until I get more data."

"I see," Sky look back at the time, seeing it almost noon.

"I'm heading back to the bridge," he said. "Don't pass out on me when I come back."

"Don't worry, I won't. I put sunscreen on and I have an ice cooler fill with bottles of water. Nice icy cold water."

"The one time where I won't mind Icy's powers in this heat."


"Um which way?" They came upon a cross road.

"Please, save us..."

Bloom could hear them calling.

"Please, save us..."

"Save us from this curse..."

"There has to be another way to save you," Bloom spoked, feeling their eyes boring into her soul.

"Bloom, what's wrong?" Tecna asked, placing a hand on her friend's shoulder. The shadows slink back where they came from.

"Nothing," with a shake of her fiery red hair, she pointed to the right.

"I'm picking up some readings of energies...dark energies," Tecna said, stopping Bloom in her tracks.

"I think they're not just shadows," Bloom answered, turning her head slightly back to look at the group.

"What do you mean?" Brandon asked.

"The stars...they're fading..." Stella weakly said.

"There's no time for explanations of small theories that can be no more true yet false. We need to move quickly."

The rest of the group cast worry glances at their friend before following after her.

"Um, guys, you might want to see this," Roy stop, shining his light on the wall next to him.

"It better not be anymore blood thirsty monsters," Riven grumbled.

"It's hierography," Bloom said in awe, sending out a few flames to see better. "It's beautiful."

"They seem to be pointing to chamber...what are those things?" Brandon peered at the dark painting with white circles above a pedestal.

"Stars..." Stella mumbled.

"Hang in there, Stella," Brandon tighten his hold on her.

"There's more here," Bloom pointed to another, pointing to a group of figures.

"What are they doing?" Roy looked at the Fairy of Technology. She had on her thinking face but frown.

"I do not know," she answered.

"They're taking someone to a room...the white circles are bigger than the other one," Bloom said, walking further ahead.

Could it be what I think it is?

They continue walking, passing more hieroglyphics, commenting on them now and then.

They met up with the six-headed creature and had to make another run for their lives once again

"Where are we now?" Riven asked, rubbing his shoulders, hissing at the burnt skin on his back rub against the fabric of his uniform.

"Somewhere where we won't be that thing's lunch," Roy groaned, hugging his injure arm.

"Here..."

"Here..."

"Here..."

"A Crown that paints the night sky..."

An image of the stars dancing before a woman cloak in light appear before her. Bloom smile, I know where we are.

"Brandon, lay Stella over here," she motioned over a few feet away.

"What?" Her friends look at her like she grown two heads.

"Trust me, I know what I am doing," Bloom reassured them. Brandon gave her torn look of keeping Stella by his side and doing as she said. Placing Stella down by her feet, Bloom knelt down.

"Stella, I need you to bring light," she said.

"I...can't..." Stella said. "I don't have...the energy...to do it."'

"Yes, you can. Your powers dwell on the sun, the moon, and the stars. The stars are being diminish and only you can bring them back."

"The stars...diminish...can't feel them..."

"I know you can do it, Stella. We believe in you."

Stella nodded, slowly closing her eyes and even out her breathing.

White orbs appear, glowing softly, above the Fairy of the Shining Sun.

"The Crown has return..."
