Chapter 21
-Danny POV-
I opened my eyes and everything around us was dark. I moaned loudly as I noticed my burnt skin along my arm. "Light!" I growled and a burst of light illuminated the whole area, slowly fading away until I saw nothing. "Light!" I growled again, concentrating on keeping it alive. I crawled over towards Dougie, his whole back covered in burning flesh. I waved my hand over his back. "Heal!" I shouted but nothing happening. "Heal!" I shouted again. "Heal!" I begged then burst into tears when nothing happened. "Heal! Heal! Heal!" I shouted tears of frustration and pain landing on Dougie and a green light flashed, white feathers erupting. Dougie moaned and rolled over. "What? Who are you? Where am I? WHAT'S GOING ON?!" he shouted. "I'm Danny, we're best friends? You're Dougie Poynter, please remember me" I begged. "You're crying for me and I don't even know you" he said. "I'm sorry..." I cried. "There's nothing to be sorry for, I just don't know what's going on" he said. "Okay, follow me, we have to get out of here, it's another world. We're here trying to save someone" I said while crying but trying my best to explain to him and restore his memory.
We arrived at Tom's unconscious body. I shook him lightly and he awoke. "Where's Harry? Are you okay? What's wrong?!" he asked. "It's Dougie...he's lost his memory, and look at you" I cried. "What's wrong with me?" he said shocked then cried out in pain as he noticed that his leg was burnt. "Dougie, can I ask you to do something?" I asked. "Are you talking to me?" he asked. "Yeah" I replied but this time not crying. I had to be stronger for everyone. "What do you want me to do?" he asked. "Say Harry" I said. "Why?" he asked curiously. "Please Dougs, just do it" I begged. "Okay, Harry!" he shouted and a window ripped out of nowhere. I stepped through it quickly. Harry was on the other side shooting off monsters who were slowly advancing on him. "Danny! Tom! Dougie?!" he shouted and shot another blast, knocking over some monsters. I winced and shot a burst of fire at them, burning them to nothing in seconds. "Harry, hurry, we need you" I shouted and he nodded then limped towards me. I grabbed his hand and pulled him through the window.
We landed back on the other side with Dougie and Tom. "Heal Tom, I can't do it, I can only do it when people are dying, when I'm crying, he's only got an injured leg" I explained and he nodded then waved an arm at Tom's leg. A loud snap was heard and Tom shouted out in pain then gasped. "I'm okay!" he smiled. "This is why you let me take the hits..." Harry said and Tom nodded. "I'm sorry..." he said. "I forgive you, you only cared" Harry smiled then hugged him. "You okay Dougs?" Harry smiled. "Who are you?" he asked then hid behind me, grabbing my hand. "It's fine, he's your friend as well" I said and he nodded into my back. "He's lost his memory" I whispered. Harry looked shocked but nodded sadly. We walked together slowly. I was dreading the journey ahead. Dougie's memory may be gone but I believe it will come back and maybe we can have our happily ever after.
-Tom's Flashback-
Danny ran at the dragon slashing at its stomach, stabbing it deep and ice erupted from his sword inside the dragon which roared loudly and in response erupted into harsh flames that I doubt Harry could block but nevertheless he stood in front of me. "No!" I shouted, putting my hand out and he popped away to safety. I smiled and the flames enveloped me just as I put a shield over myself, the shield dissolved and my vision burned away...

-Danny POV-
We stopped at a white orb in a cage and I waved my hands at the cage which exploded chaotically. "Dan! That was dangerous" Harry said. "Sorry..." I smiled then walked over to the orb, picking it up. "It's Luna..." I swallowed deeply. "What?!" Tom asked, running over to me. "Her soul and body turned into a orb because she was overcome with pain and sorrow, so a orb of grief... I can feel her pain while I'm holding it" I said then wrapped it in some cloth off my shirt. "How can we help her?" Harry asked. "We have to solve her sorrow. Why did she help us in the first place? Where was she from? Then we can put her to peace and then maybe she'll be back or just disappear off. That's our best bet" I said. "Let's get home" Harry smiled. "Dougs, home please" I said and he repeated after me and a gate opened. We all stepped through.
We arrived home and collapsed on the sofa, arriving back at the exact time we had left. "I guess time passes almost infinitely faster in that universe" Tom yawned. "Yeah, all we do now is wait for Dougie to get back his memories, then we can save Luna" I said and we all nodded. I placed the orb on the table and laid back down on the sofa.
