Lloyd POV: So many questions are rolling through my head about Tyler, but right now I have more important things to worry about. Several people were attacking us and Tyler was right. These guys are well trained.

The guy in front of me was targeting my chest and was fast. All I could do, since I was surprised, was block and dodge until I could get my bearings. Finally, when I did, I pushed him back and sliced his right arm. He backed away, but I nicked his arm a little. He slightly moaned and tried to slash back. But I was already moving behind him. I knocked him off his feet, turned my sword, and hit him in the stomach.

That knocked him out and I sighed. I looked at the others. They were fighting hard, but I'm not worried about them.

The only one I was worried about was Tyler.

He kept his hands over the Crown and it still wasn't affecting him, but more blue lines were appearing on Grace and she was starting to move around a bit.

I ran over to him and asked, "Need some help?"

"Love some." he groaned out.

"Zane, what do we need to do?!" I asked, not taking my eyes off the Crown.

He finished off his guys and raced over. He used his scanner and said, "It looks like the Crown is trying to infuse its power into Grace like a parasite moving into a new host."

"What are you saying?" I asked.

"The Crown isn't this stone. It's just an ordinary stone from the desert. The Crown is really a source of power that has enough intelligence to move when threatened."

"And it started to move into Grace when she started her research." I said, putting two and two together.

"Any day now would be fantastic." Tyler choked out.

"Right, sorry. Zane how do we contain it?" I asked.

"Our best bet is something metallic and strong." he said and tried to use his ice powers to slow the transfer.

I looked around and saw a box. Not too far away and a good size. I picked it up and brought it over.

"Think this will work?" I asked.

"Yep." Zane said. His ice was melting fast and Tyler was losing his grip.

I opened the box and gave Zane the lid. I placed it right under their hands and said, "Tyler, you need to grab her hands and let go as fast as you can, got it?"

"Got it." he said, he sounds tired now.

He looked at Grace, grabbed her hands, and pulled them off the Crown fast. All the lines disappeared immediately from Grace and she fell backwards. Tyler caught her and Zane closed the lid and iced it.

"We're good, but sending this back to Borg would be our best move." he said, checking the box.

"Agreed." Handing it over to him. I went to Grace with Tyler.

The lines were gone, but she was out cold. No doubt she would feel this tomorrow.
