Chapter 28
Third Person POV
Nightclaw, Fangface, Brielle, Rob, Hardy, Kassandra, Steven Rodgers Junior and Kite walked into the next room.
"So, do we have any clue on who we are freeing?" Brielle asked.
"I was just about to ask you the same question," Nightclaw said.
"Well, we have my parents and the rest of mystery incorporated, Twiggy Rose, Jonas, Lily Rose, Anthony Thorn, Original Twiggy, The Golden Warrior, Alexia, James Knight, Kim, Biff, Gin, Matt Hunter, Liz Rose, Lisa Rose, Sam Rose, Peter, Susan, Roxas, Axel, Eric, Erica, Flim-Flam, Miranda Dusk, and DJ AKA as the King Pin, JJ Junior, Nicole and my sister," Rob said.
"(grr) He has a good sense of memory," Fangface said.
Steven Rodgers Junior rolled his eyes. "Or he just read the plaque that read all the prisoners here which include us," he said.
Hardy looked at the plaque and put the book down which fell through a trap door a "Well, that was certainly a good place to put a list," he said.
"So where the Harmony's and the Helios's ,then?" Brielle asked.
A cat appeared from behind them and smiled. It was the Cheshire Cat.
"Mayhap they were never here, but are somewhere else. Perhaps they were never here at all. Only one of these can be true and the other is false," he said.
"(grr) so you are implying they were either illusions or were put in a different prison?" Nightclaw said.
"The first one makes more sense, but the second one sounds more accurate," Brielle said.
"Sometimes it is wrong to be right and right to be wrong," he said. He vanished with a smile on his face.
"Does he have an allergy to a straight answer?" Rob asked.
"It doesn't seem so, well looks like it is time to go find the others," Kassy said.

Elsewhere…
Ally hung her head low and did not speak. "Don't you guys think one of us should talk to her?" Aaron asked.
"Well it certainly can't be me; I won't be much of a comfort, any words of wisdom, Chase?" Lucky asked.
"Chase seems to be lost in his own thoughts. He won't be much of a help. How about you , silent and deadly one?" Pyro asked.
"You do realize I have a name that is meant to be used, or are you just naturally that dumb? Please don't answer that question," he said.
"His nickname actually fits you Lamone, you are a silent and deadly ex-vampire king," Aaron said.
"It seemed someone has been reading too many different articles, that they shouldn't be messing with," Lamone said.
Chase finally came out his thoughts to speak, "Well, I can go and comfort her. I am her grandfather in the future," he said.
"What were you thinking about, anyway?" Lamone asked.
"Nothing at all," Chase replied. The tension lasted for a second and it broke as Chase went to comfort his future granddaughter on the love she lost recently.

In a cell….
Original Twiggy was pacing the cell that he shared with Matt Hunter. It seemed ironic that he was stuck with this particular person.
"What is on your mind, O.T?" Matt asked.
"It is nothing; I just have a brother that I knew and don't know his identity now," Original Twiggy said.
Matt shrugged. "I never knew my biological parents, my dad died when I was little or at least that is what Chase said. My mom left my dad, after she gave birth to me and I have an older brother I know nothing about," he said.
"I am starting to realize that may not be such a bad thing to be trapped here. I remember the first event that changed my life," Original Twiggy said.
"What is it that forever changed you?" Matt asked.
"It happened when I was a Turtwig and it was a near death and being saved by a Great Dane puppy whose name escapes me," Original Twiggy said.
Matt looked at him , "Can you tell me the story of how you got to here?" He asked.
Original Twiggy nodded ."I can tell you but you have to be willing to listen. Are you willing?" He asked. Matt nodded his head.
I remember that the air was cool and it was my fifth birthday, my little brother was only one and still with my parents. I was distracted and I was crossing the street. The light was against me and I didn't even realize it. I froze at the site of the car, the mere figure of it. I was going to die a fast death, until the pup pushed me out of the way. The car had hit all his legs though and they seemed to be broken. I approached the pup. "Thanks for saving my life. What is your name?" I asked.
The puppy looked at me. "Ri rame ris rooby roo, Ri rhink ry rigs rare roken," he said. I examined his once sturdy legs and healed them with my healing powers. They were fine, but his walk had a slight wobble to them. That was the day that two things happened. The first thing was that if I ever saw the pup again, I would thank him for being so brave. The second was that I realized I wanted to save the lives of other's people.
"Wow, you were saved by Scooby Doo. I do remember living with an older brother who was a Turtwig since I was the first human in my family. The Turtwig name escapes me, but I remember that my father's name was The Golden Warrior," he said.
"The Golden Warrior? That is the name my father earned during the medieval times. I guess you are my brother," Original Twiggy said.
Matt glanced at his looks. "I guess that actually makes sense, I always noticed how we looked a lot alike. It seems that it we have to find the truth on our own," he said. Original Twiggy smiled and the two lost brothers embraced in a hug.

Chase placed his hand on Ally's shoulder. She jumped on the touch of her grandfather and turned around.
"You startled me. I was lost in my thoughts," Ally said.
"Were you truly lost in your thoughts, or is it something else?" Chase asked.
Ally stifled a laugh "What else could I possibly be doing?" Ally asked.
Chase glanced in her direction. "Trying to relive the past that has long since been gone," he said.
"Is it bad to relive the past?" Ally asked.
"The past is a nice place to reflect, but not to escape too. If you try to escape to the past then you will lose yourself and that is truly the worst thing in the world," Chase said. Ally leaned on her grandfather's shoulder and cried on it. Chase started to sing.
Chase: Just lay on my shoulder,
Cry through the past, through the memories that make you remember.
The tears that represent all the love you have had for each other.
Cry till your heart is done crying.
She lifted her head from her grandfather's shoulder. "Thanks for being a shoulder to cry on. I will not break. I will not give on anything. I have come too far to taste the sweat of forfeiting," she said.
Chase smiled. "It is good to have an idea of what you are fighting for," she said.
"I have more than an idea, I have a power through my words," she said. She started to sing.
Ally: I am not fighting for myself,
For my own personal gains,
For the stench of revenge only causes more pain
I will fight for love.
For the memory of Tonio,
His protection and his light
I fight for love.
A shadow had been listening, a phantom of the man he was. Chase left the area to return to the others. It was now or never.
"Ally?" He asked.
Ally turned to see a pale ghost version of Rift. "I am happy to see you again, even if you are not alive," she said.
"I know what you mean; being close to you shows how close our bond is to each other. I have come for a task, but, I believe your grandfather already told you all you really needed, but, this was more for me," Rift's ghost said.
"The official final goodbye, it is the last thing I will see before I die," Ally said.
"No, it won't. I can promise you that it won't be that long. I will always be in your heart and never forget that. If you ever need me, just call me," Rift's ghost said.
"How come you saved me?" Ally asked.
"It wasn't, because you are the heroine of Light, my best friend or my charge. It is because I was actually in love with you. I had never fully loved someone besides you. Our love is a spark that can't be destroyed, always remembered that," Rift said. He vanished into the heavens.

"Well, it looks like we came to a room full of empty cells. I expect this to be a full prison," Nightclaw said.
Rob looked at the plaque and his face went pale. The Plaque read: People Captured in this room: Fred, Danica, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, Mary Jane and Scooby Dee and Amanda Blake.
"My mom and sister were in this room and now she is missing," Rob said.
"Well, things just took a turn for the interesting," Nightclaw said.
"Eight people don't up and vanish into thin air," Brielle said. Everyone went silent as they approached the next set of doors."
"Bri, we're over here," Gin said.
Rob looked up "The people who should be in here are Flim-Flam, Eric, Erica, Biff, Kim, Gin, James Knight and Alexia," he said.
Brielle opened the gates and freed Gin and Kim.
"Well, it seems that everyone else is going to be upstairs at the final battle, except us," Gin said.
"Well, at least we get to miss it," Kim said.
Nightclaw shook his head. "Nope, Fangs and Twiggy are upstairs since the Time Lord separated our two halves," he said.
"Can someone please get me out of here? Why did he have to leave me stuck with my family?" Erica asked.
"Like listening to you whine is good," Eric said.
"Where is Sam?" Nightclaw asked.
"Her name wasn't on the plaque," Rob said.
"She wasn't captured with the rest of us," Eric said.
Erica nodded. "She was not here and I found that odd," he said.
"She wasn't with us earlier and Twiggy said she isn't with them," Nightclaw said.
"Well, we have others things to worry about," Flim-Flam said,
Fangface opened the cage door and grabbed Flim-Flam, "(Grr) we also have to find Samantha," he said.
"Thanks for breaking the door, Fangface," Biff said. They finally opened the door with James and Alexia passed in it. The sixteen left the room and a dark figure appeared after they left.

Dark Matter smirked, "Well , his is getting interesting," he said. He had a sedated Samantha/ Storm over his arm. He left the room unaware of the illusionist behind him.

What is Dark Matter up too? I have to find out his master plan, Seven thought.

The Time Lord grinned and sensed that the final battle was coming soon. He had changed so much over the years that she would be barely recognizing him now, or their son. He held the picture of a girl named Lexie Hunter. She was beautiful, but she was dead. She was killed by a disease, one that slowly eats away at you mind and heart, but keeps you physically fit. The first stage of this death was a coma. It had no cure.
Time Lord looked out at the sun setting, "I am doing this for you Lexie Hunter, for our love," he said.
