"Hey, sorry about knocking out your friend." A guy said to the three in the back of the jeep. He drove through the forest, with Jonas, Michelle and Kara in the back. "He just suddenly attacked without even listening to a word I had said."

"Oh no, it's no problem. He's always like that." Michelle waved it off. Mitch lay in the passenger seat, passed out.

"You're sure that Rikki's at the camp you mentioned?" Kara asked.

"Yup. She arrived about a day or two ago. I can't keep track of the days." he nodded. "She's being taken care of by Lady Moro, whose in charge of the camp."

The jeep hit a bump, making them all jump. Luckily Mitch didn't wake up,or he probably would've attacked in anger again. "You guys are lucky I came. Lady Moro and Rikki were afraid those brats would get you."

"They almost got us back at the jail. If it wasn't for that Leroy guy, we would've been caught." Jonas looked away. He didn't want to finish the rest of the sentence.

"I'd say in about two more days, those brats would be close to our location. That's when we attack them." The guy driving said.

"What do you mean, 'attack'?" Michelle asked.

"We surround them, and try to negotiate. If they refused, we fight. they can't be allowed to continue what they're doing." he replied.

"You can't!" Kara gasped. "One of our friends is with them!"

"Doesn't matter. He's deep into their control. We'll have to." he looked at all of them in the rear view window. He saw all of their grim faces and sighed. "I know how you all must feel. Trust me, you're friend is better off dead at the path he's heading."

"How can you say that?!" Kara shouted. "It's not his fault they're controlling him! He can't help it! That doesn't mean he deserves to be killed!"

He stayed silent the rest of the trip. By that point, they were all furious about the situation. Kara was probably worse than them. The rest of the trip, her hands were balled into fists. She wanted to hurt someone, anyone. Jonas tried to calm her down by rubbing her back. Michelle stared off into space.

"You're friend, Rikki? She wasn't too happy about it, either. She even ran off for a while, but Lady Moro found her." he started to say. "Lady Moro says that she will be the last resort to saving your friend. Her feelings for him are strong."

Mitch started to stir a little bit. He coughed a little bit and sat up. "Rikki has feelings for Steve? I don't believe it." Mitch shook his head.

"You're awake?" the driver asked.

"But seriously, Rikki doesn't have feelings towards him." he said.

"Why would you say that?" Kara asked.

"She's an ultimate tomboy. Everytime you've asked her if she ever had feelings towards a guy, she always denied it. Am I right?" he turned around in the seat and asked.

"You're bad at this kind of stuff Mitch. you're completely wrong. Me and Kara both know she has feelings towards Steve." Michelle rolled her eyes.

"Oh really? Explain then." Mitch asked.

"Guys? Is this really the right conversation to have concidering the situation at hand." Jonas asked.

"She's always hanging out with Steve. She hangs out with him most of the time, and they practically do everything together." Michelle explained.

"We're here." The driver said, as the jeep pulled up towards a small village.

The four all got out of the jeep. "Rikki!" Kara exclaimed. She then ran up to Rikki and gave her a big hug. "I'm so glad to see you again!"

"Hey Kara..." Rikki said, giving her a small hug back. "I was scared for your safety."

Michelle, Jonas and mitch walked up to Rikki. She was standing near Moro. The driver also walked up. He bowed and said, "I brought them liked you ask."

"Thank you." She replied with a nod. She turned towards the group of five. "It's so nice that you all are together again. It's a happy reunion."

"Uh, thanks Moro." Rikki replied, not wanting to look at her. She was happy to have her friends with her again, although they were short one.

"I'll leave you all alone for now." Moro walked away.

Jonas and Michelle then gave Rikki a huge hug, and she gave them both back one. "We're glad you're safe." Jonas smiled.

"Yeah, me too." Rikki replied.

"Are you ok?" Michelle asked.

"I'm fine, just..." Rikki started and sighed. She looked up to see if anyone was close by. Then she whispered. "I'm not ok."

"What's wrong?" Mitch finally spoke.

"A little while ago, I was visited by a Celebi." Rikki started off. "But it was one of the Ancestors to this society. It spoke to me and told me something...terrible..." Rikki looked away. "It said that Steve's gonna die..." she choked out.

Kara gasped. "You're sure?"

Rikki nodded. "This plan of Moro's will kill Steve. I don't know what to do."

"Then we fight back. We have to save Steve." Michelle whispered back.

"That's what I'm afraid of. If we fight back, they might attack us, too." Rikki shook her head.

"Rikki! You're back!" Isabell suddenly came up behind Rikki, giving her a big hug. "I was worried about you. I thought you wouldn't come back."

Rikki sighed. "Hi, Isabell. As you can see, I came back."

"Are these your friends?" she asked, looking at them with a smile.

"Yeah." Rikki replied.

"Cool! I'm Isabell, nie to meet you!" Isabell grinned.

"Isabell, time to come inside. It's getting late." We heard a woman call her name.

"I got to go. Mom's calling for me. I'll see you tomorrow!" she ran off to the house.

"You're making friends with Society freaks?" Mitch asked.

"They're not a part of that group, Mitch." Rikki retorted.

"I don't care, I can't stand to be around these freaks." he replied.

"Rikki, and friends. I would think it be wise to get some rest tonight. We'll be getting up early tomorrow, and carry out our plans. Hopefully, at the end of it, everything will be at peace once more." Moro said, walking up to the group.

"Uh, sure." Kara replied.

"Come, I'll show you where you'll be staying at." she said, and started to walk towards the a hut.
