Chapter Twenty-One "The Three Sides"
Spike started shaking.
"Boss? What's wrong?" asked Rex.
Spike saw the master emerald strangely show a light over him, like it was trying to get his attention he went over to it but something strange was going on with it.
The others didn't see any light, all they saw was Spike stepping motionlessly up to the master emerald.
Spike was right next to it; he started squinting looking closely at it.
Three sides of the emerald were almost showing something, they were all different things he was being shown but all connected to him somehow.
"What is this?" said Spike timidly.
The first side he saw himself hanging on the edge of a cliff, with Blake starring at him confidently.
The second side he looked at showed him helping Trixie who was oddly scarred and injured, he was looking sorrowfully down at her but gave his hand to help her, and he couldn't make out the last side without looking more closely at it.
He saw what appeared to be Blake who had defeated his team; they lay on the floor not moving along with the soldiers, his glove had a scratch across it showing his hand a little, he looked evilly and angrily down at them the sky was darkly shining down at him in a scary way that made him rub his eyes.
"What…?" said Spike very confused.
Suddenly Blake's dark cloak showed his eyes…but he noticed something strange…he could see the red scratch which was struck across his right eye, suddenly he noticed that it was himself looking darkly down at his defeated teammates.
This made him leap two or three feet back in fear, he ran off as fast as he could while he was stunned with the things he'd just saw.
His team was left with no explanation; their leader had just run off in shock.
They chased after him, they knew if SPIKE was afraid of something they'd best leave…something must be terribly wrong.
