Danny emerged from the water back to where he and Sam started before Sam and was instantly met by a grinning Walker sitting on the stone steps.

"Did you have a nice swim?" Walker asked.

In his hand was a gun and behind him some of the soldiers, Valerie, Tucker, Ember, Lunch Lady, Ghoul and Kwan with weapons in their hands as well looking very serious.

"Hey guys what's with all the guns and weapons?" Danny asked. None of them answered him so he tried again, "Guys?"

None of them answered once again, his eyes then widened in realisation as he got out of the water. He then glared at Walker as he said, "I'm such an idiot! This is just another treasure hunt for you! You're after the crystal"

"Oh you mean this?" Walker said as he pulled out the missing page from the journal. "Sorry about that, I would have told you sooner but it was on a need to know basis and now you know. I had to make sure you were one of us"

He then put his weapon away and held out his hand for Danny to shake as he said, "Welcome to the club son"

Danny lit up his hand and said, "I'm no mercenary"

Sam then emerged from the water but as soon as she did, one of the soldiers grabbed her by the hair and lifted her out of the water, causing her to yelp in pain. Danny was about to fire an ecto blast at the soldier that grabbed her but then a soldier pulled out some sort of small device with prongs and jabbed Danny with it.

Danny yelped and screamed in pain as he was electrocuted by the device and he suddenly felt his powers depleted and he fell to his knees and was forced to change back into his human form. He then glared up at the soldiers who had done it. He then turned his head and watched Sam grab the soldier by his head and throw him over her shoulder and straight into the water. As she ran up the steps, a soldier tried to grab her but she grabbed the front of his gun and kneed him the gut and then pinned him to the ground, she pulled out her knife and was about to attack when suddenly it was shot out of her hand.

She turned to see it Walker who had done it, two soldiers then grabbed her by the arms and pulled her off the soldier and then held her still. Walker then said as he put his gun away, "Mercenary? I prefer the term adventure capitalist. Besides you're the one who got us and led us right to the treasure chest"

"You don't know what you're tampering with Walker" Danny said as he stood up from the ground.

"What's to know? It's big, it's shiny and it's gonna make us all rich" Walker said ignoring Danny's statement.

"You think it some kind of diamond, I thought it was some kind of battery but we're both wrong" Danny said. "It's their life force. That crystal is the only thing that's keeping these people alive, if you take that away they'll die!"

"Well that certainly changes things" Walker said. He then turned to Ember and asked, "Ember what do you think?"

"Well after hearing that, I'd double the price. Heck I would even triple it" Ember answered smirking the entire time.

"Walker I am begging you don't do this" Danny pleaded. "You'll wipe out an entire living civilisation if you go through with this"

"Danny think of it this way; if you gave back every stolen artefact from a museum, you'd be left with an empty building. We're just providing a necessary service to the archaeological community" Walker said completely ignoring Danny's plea.

"Well I'm not interested! And I won't help you!" Danny snapped in anger and defiance.

"I gotta admit I'm disappointed" Walker said his grin dropping to a frown. "You're an idealist just like your father, do yourself a favour punk don't be like him. For once do the smart thing"

Danny however wasn't changing his mind and continued to glare at Walker in defiance. Walker sighed and rubbed his forehead as he said, "I hate it when negotiations go sour. I really do"

He then snapped his fingers and then one of the soldiers forced Sam to her knees and held her there by her arms while the other soldier held his gun right at her ready to shoot. Danny's gasped in shock and then Walker showed the page to Danny once more and said, "Let's try this again"
