Dang it! This is my eighth version of this chapter! Stupid crashing safari! I'm not even joking! I swear!

Chapter Thirteen: New Information (In other words, not a lot of action. XD)

"No." Allie said, hushed. Her eyes brimmed with tears. "No! You can't be here! You were sentenced a criminal by Queen Kalima!"

"For putting the cloak on you?" Gabe asked.

"She was so ungrateful." Megaria said, scowling. "It's a feat in its own to go into the Null Zone, let alone retrieve an artifact!" She smirked. "Although I would've liked getting all the artifacts..."

"You shouldn't lay your hands on even one!" Ray shouted at her.

Megaria smirked. "Allison, tell your boyfriend to watch his tongue."/

"He is not my boyfriend!" Allie shouted at her. She attacked Megaria with Grybolos.

Megaria looked at Gabe. "Seriously?"

"I know, right." Gabe said, with a sigh.

"Dude, you're siding with the enemy." Ray said.

"I realized." Gabe said, before attacking with his Aqua Strider. Ray looked confused for a second, but joined in on the attack.

Megaria banished Aqua Strider with one blow. "You've got to be kidding me!" Gabe shouted, frustrated.

"Kivu, flank her!" Ray shouted. Kivu dodged the jabs Megaria threw and managed to get to her side. Allie attacked Megaria, so as Megaria defended herself, Kivu got her in the side.

"Ungrateful little brat." Megaria hissed at Allie. "We'll see each other soon." Megaria swam away. Gargle picked up something from the water.

"Hey! While she was running with her tail between her legs..." Gabe said, causing Ray and Allie to give him a look. "...she dropped something!" Allie fingered it.

"What is it?"

"Do you think it's Choten tech?" Ray asked the lingering question.

"I hope not." Allie said. "We've beaten him up two times already. I don't think I could take a third."

Ray nodded sadly. Allie handed the tech back to Gabe, who examined it. "It looks like...a mana storage container. Or something." Gabe said, scrunching his face to look closer.

"We can bring it to King Tritonus!" Gargle said. Gabe nodded, and the three followed Gargle, Grybolos and Kivu following.

As they approached the palace, Kivu was held back. "Ray, just banish him." Gabe hissed. Ray scowled, but banished him.

"Reef Prince." the enormous Tritonus said, towering over them. "Humans. You come to my palace without permission, bringing a traitor." Tritonus, gesturing to where Kivu had stood before Ray banished him.

"Apologies, Your Highness." Allie said. She stepped forward. "I also apologize for speaking out of turn now. But Megaria, Empress of Dread..." She paused. "...and Annoyingness had attacked your city with Bronze-Arm Renegades, destroying some of the rebuilding process my friend has been working with you on." She paused dramatically. "It's our job to make sure she does no more damage, and therefore we came to you to inform you of the problem." She handed him the device, which he picked up with a tentacle. "And we found this, and thought we should bring it to you."

King Tritonus looked surprised. Well, as surprised as he could seem to a human. "I am impressed a human speaks with such logic."

Allie chuckled. "I'm more chaos than logic. Gabe here is the logical one."

Tritonus chuckled too, but it sounded somewhat like an earthquake. "I had realized. I am quite fond of your friend." Gabe blushed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"I understand the danger, and thank you for bringing it to my attention." Tritonus recovered. "And your apologies are accepted." He turned to Ray. "Please do not bring traitors to my palace."

"I-" Ray stopped himself. "I...apologize for that. I didn't realize."

Tritonus nodded. "You and the humans are dismissed, Reef Prince Glu-urrgle." The four bowed their heads respectfully before leaving the palace.

"Wow Allie, I'm impressed!" Ray said, laughing. "I didn't know you had it in you!"

Allie grinned. "A week living in the Darkness realm with Queen Kalima teaches even the most stubborn students respect." She shrugged. "You kinda would prefer to not to be torn to shreds on the first day."

"I'm just surprised you know the word 'therefore'." Gabe commented. Allie punched his arm.

"Dork." she said. He rubbed his arm, wincing. Ray laughed, holding his stomach.

"A week without you guys is torture." he said. They all laughed.

"Talking about that..." Gabe said, face darkening. "It's probably time for you two to go. Right?" They nodded.

"Tatsurion the Unchained!" Ray summoned. Gargle put a watersuit on the annoyed Fire-Nature hybrid.

Tatsurion sighed. "I hate water." he stated simply.

"Can I come with you first?" Allie asked. Ray nodded. The two of them waved to Gabe as their view faded into fire.

Allie let go of Ray's arm and smiled at him. "Thanks." she said. She threw her arms around him quickly, then summoned Squeaky. Before Ray had a second to react, she had banished herself to Darkness. Ray tilted his head, a blush visible on his cheeks. He rubbed the back of his neck in confusion.

"I see you're starting to figure it out."

Ray jumped. "Agh! When did you get here?!"

Alakshmi laughed. "Master Chavez sent me to check if you were doing your job. I can go back now." Ray grinned sheepishly.

"Don't hurt her." she said, opening a breach back to San Campion. He was, if possible, even more confused. He was being as dense as ever. Why would he hurt his friend? What was it that he figured out?

Allie rematerialized with Squeaky, blushing crazily. "What is wrong with me?" she asked herself.

"You like him, he likes you. Simple as that."

Allie whirled around. Megaria stood there. "You again!" she exclaimed. Squeaky shifted into her battle form and hissed. Allie pointed her gauntlet at her. "What do you want anyway?!"

"Questions, questions, answers are lost." Megaria answered, unhelpfully. "The portal to answers can be found...at a cost."

Megaria faded. "A...a decoy?" Allie asked. "I need to write this down...whatever she said. I'll tell Ray and Gabe...we'll figure it out." Squeaky snuggled up to her. "Isn't that right, my little cutie?" Allie added in a baby voice. They hugged as Allie wrote the poem down, wondering what it meant.

Questions, questions, answers are lost

The portal to answers can be found...at a cost...

Author's Note: Okay apologies are in order. i'm sorry about how long it's been taking. Also, I'm kinda depressed right now because I recently found out...*spoiler alert*...they aren't making a Kaijudo season 3. Now this may seem silly or whatever. Most people don't get how much Kaijudo means to me; it's like my escape when I feel sad, angry or hurt. And now they aren't continuing the show. So I'm depressed. And that's my stupid rant about that...oh, if you want a season 3, I found this petition for it. I signed it, if you want to it'd be nice too: /NiSbCZ
