1Geode- So what's been happening?

Char- Yeah, this story actually seems interesting.

What?

Rae Rae- You two weren't here, so you missed it. Just start here.

Thanks, Rae.

Rae Rae- No, you're Rae, 'member? I'm Rae Rae.

Uh... Yeah. Okay, I'm ready. (Pops fingers)

The Finish

Taryn still had his head pressed into Hama, crying. Her heart wasn't beating, and she wasn't breathing, either.

"Don't die, Hama! Don't die."

"Taryn, I think she's gone," the Healer said sadly.

"N-no. She- she's not!" His tears had nearly soaked part of Hama's shirt he had his head on. "I won't let you go." Some of the villagers had managed to slip into the sanctum. When they had saw Taryn and Hama, they were about to walk over, but the Healer stopped them.

"No. Taryn needs to be alone with his relative."

The few villagers in the sanctum and the Healer had to look away and sheild their eyes because of how bright the glow had gotten.

"What is Taryn doing?" asked a woman.

"I don't know," the healer said, "but something tells me not to interfere."

"I won't let Alex get away with this..." Taryn said to himself and the unconscious Hama between sobs. He felt someone put a hand in his hair and assumed it was the Healer.

"Healer, can I please be alone?"

"Taryn..." Taryn stopped crying abruptly and looked up. It was Hama! She was alive! Her eyes were only a little opened and she sounded weak, but she was still alive.

"Auntie Hama! You're okay!" Hama smiled and wiped a tear from his tear-streaked face.

"Taryn... are you crying?" Taryn got up suddenly and turned away from her with his arms crossed.

"No. I'm not crying. I- my eyes are just watering because- of my allergies."

Hama winced as she sat up. "Turn around, Taryn. It's okay to cry." Taryn turned around and Hama saw more tears coming down his face.

"Not for a guy."

"Anyone can cry. Come here." Taryn walked over to her and sat on the bed. Hama put her arm around him and pulled him closer and he cried some more.

"I'll kill Alex for this."

"Don't say that." Hama told him. "It's true you must finish him, but don't think that way."

Taryn breathed. "I left Alanna and the others to come here... They must hate me. Especially Alanna."

"You do need to go help them now. But I'm sure they'll understand. Now get going." Taryn got up.

"What's happening?"

"All but three of them are down. Go, Taryn."

Taryn hurried out of the village and teleported away.

"Shine plasma!" Alex warped out of the way of Jades psynergy. "That's it, Sasha. I'm spent..."

"Me too, Jade..." Sasha said.

"Shine plasma!" Alex was hit with the mysterious purple strikes out of nowhere. He turned around. Taryn was standing there, looking at him maliciously.

Alex turned around. "Foolish child." he used the same trick on him that he had used on the soldiers outside Venus Lighthouse years ago. Taryn hit the ground hard and was downed.

"Taryn!" Sasha yelled. Alex laughed.

"He wasted his time..."

Sasha turned and ran toward Alex. She slashed at him with her Elemental blade. Alex laughed again.

"foolish girl! You can't-" Alex looked down at his chest. There was blood oozing from a fresh cut that went across his chest. He looked truly shocked for the first time.

How... How did she do that? She shouldn't be able to do that! That blade... Alex glared at her. Jade and Jed walked up.

"Sasha, how'd you do that?" Jade asked. Sasha shrugged.

"There has to be something behind this," Jed said. "You can do damage to him with your sword, but we can't do it with anything..."

"What are you three whispering about over there?" Alex demanded. He held out a hand toward Sasha and clenched it tight, raising it n the air. Sasha dropped her blade as she clutched her throat, kicking her feet as she got higher into the air and gasping for breath.

Jed jumped and tried to grab her. Jade slammed into him as hard as she could and grabbed his leg. Alex stopped and grabbed for Jade. Jed caught Sasha.

"Jade!" Alex was pulling her bye her hair until someone cast eruption on him. Alex turned around. Aiden was standing there.

"So... You're the Alex they were talking about..."

Alex nodded. Aiden stared at him. "Not even a scratch... Well, except from Sasha." Alex scowled at his snide remark.

"Insolent boy." Alex warped away. Sasha, Aiden, Jade, and Jed looked around.

"Where'd he go?" Jed asked. Out of nowhere, he warped in front of Aiden and brought his sword down over him. Aiden went rigid. When Alex's weapon was a hair away from his head, a crackling force field knocked the sword away and Alex was electricuted and knocked back also. He turned around and looked at Sasha. She was glowing all over. Even her eyes were the color gold. She had her sword pointed out at him. "Don't you harm one hair on my friends." she threatened. Alex looked shocked. Then he noticed something. That ring she had had on earlier wasn't on her finger; it was on the blade. Glowing. The glow had started to fade, and Sasha went back to normal. Alex stood up.

"I am going to end this quickly." Black clouds filled the sky and thunder rolled across the skies. The ground beneath them started to shake and all around them, spouts of lava shot up from the ground. Aiden, Sasha, Jade, and Jed were surounded by a lava-like cage.

"I can't even do this..." Aiden thought, wishing he knew the similar pyroclasm. The fire started to close in. More thunder sounded and lightening hit the outside of the fiery walls. Then more spouts of flames popped up from the ground and Sasha, Jed, Jade, and Aiden screamed painfully, engulfed in the flames. Some lightening struck them as well.

Reid and Lena got to the jail, but stopped suddenly when there were two rings of light appeared in front of them. When the light disappeared, two dead looking monsters were standing outside the jail. Reid looked shocked. Lena glanced behind her back to see King Wade there. She scowled at him.

"You're a necromancer!" King Wade smirked.

"Did you really think you were the only one with powers around here?"

"Dad..." Reid stared at him for a moment until he heard Lena shout, "Solar Whip!" He looked around and a huge shining, white whip slapped the two dead things, wrapped around them and exploded. Reid got in a karate position with his hands out and punched the one running toward them as hard as he could. His fist went right threw the zombie. Reid pulled his fist out and kicked him. The zombie desolved into dust before he hit the ground. Lena hacked at the remaining zombie with her rapier. It punched the weapon with a rock-like fist. The top slid off. Lena's weapon... was broken.

She cursed. "Lunacy!" she held her hand out toward the zombie. It flashed brightly and when the light receded, it was dancing. Ried laughed. Lena smiled. "I love that one..."

The zombie started to dance faster and fater until the ground beneath it started to smoke. When the zombie got at top speed, it burst into flame and started going even faster until there was a 'poof' and the fire dissappeared, leaving only dust behind. Reid and Lena stopped laughing and went into the jail. But Kali was gone!

"Where is she?" Lena exclaimed. "Wasn't she in here?"

"They must've taken her to the gallows!" Reid sounded angry. "My dad just summoned those zombies to stall us while they got her out..."

"Well, let's get out of here!" Lena ran out of the jail, Reid right behind her.

"Any last words?" asked King Wade. The villagers watched.

Kali rose her head up. "Go to hell!" She spit in his face.

King Wade wiped the spit off and kicked her feet out from under her. Kali gasped gasped as the noose tightened on her neck and grabbed it. Everyone laughed as she got her footing. King Wade grabbed the string beside him and got ready to pull. The villagers chanted, "Do her in! Do her in!" Right before he pulled, someone jumped on him and started biting his neck as hard as they could. He yelled and spun around, trying to reach behind him for the culprit. The villagers started to roar. King Wade looked up at the gallows and gasped; Reid was freeing Kali! King Wade tried to go up there, but the person biting him bit harder and clasped their arms around his neck. He choked and clawed his fingernails into the arms and the person fell off. King Wade felt the spot where he had been bitten. There were bloody teeth marks there and blood ran down his neck. He turned around and saw Lena.

"You filthy little wretch!" Lena wiped blood from around her mouth. King wade ran toward her.

"Are you okay?" Reid asked Kali.

She nodded. "I'm fine..." Though her voice was hoarse and her skin paler than usual. "Thanks, Reid. Woah, look at Lena!"

Lena was dodging the off swings of Reid's father's fists like it was nothing. She kicked him in his round belly and he fell to the ground. Reid and Kali went over to help. The villagers looked angry.

"Kali!" Lena ran over and hugged her. Kali looked a little surprised at the sudden hug and returned it.

"Uh... nice to see you again, Lena."

"Hey!" Reid interrupted their reunion. "You can celebrate later! You have to get out of here!" And he was right; the villagers were in an uproar and started coming after them. The three started to run for the village entrance.

"No! It's been blocked!" Lena exclaimed.

"There's a secret exit," Reid said. "But only I know about it. C'mon."

"Wait." Lena said. "If we go now, we'll be surrounded." She grabbed both of their hands and all of them started to glow. "There was a big white flash. Lena, Kali, and Reid stood there. The villagers showed up with rocks and brick and torches and such but looked bewildered.

"Where'd they go?" asked one person.

Reid almost spoke, but Kali put a hand over his mouth. "Shh..."

"Search the village!" said one person. Everyone split up.

"Come on, this'll wear off soon," said Lena. Reid got in front and started to lead them to the secret exit.

"So, are we invisible or something?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yes," Lena responded back. After a while he said, there it is!" He went up to the tall box and pushed it out of the way. They went in. It was a tunnel.

"So you've been saved, Kali..." Reid said. There was a very faint hint of disappointment in his voice. "You're lucky to have a friend as good as Lena."

"Thanks," Lena and Kali replied in unison.

Reid let out a chortle. "My dad's gonna skin me alive for this, if not worse. Well, here it is." They stopped at a wall with a bunch of stumps sticking out of it.

"Thank you, Reid," Lena said. "We really appreciate this."

"Yeah..." Kali sighed. There was an even fainter hint of disappointment in her voice. "Thanks..." Lena started to climb the wall. Kali and Reid just stood there, staring at each other.

"You should get going," Reid said. "...Before we get caught."

"Do you wanna come with us?" Kali asked suddenly. "I mean... You could get in some serious trouble when you go back."

"N-nah... I'll make it..." Reid said. "Just don't get kidnapped again, okay?"

Kali nodded. Then Reid pulled her into a hug. She returned it.

"Stay safe." he whispered in her ear.

"I will," Kali said back. They looked at each other. Reid gave her a surprising kiss on the cheek and started running back down the tunnel.

"Hope to see you again someday!" he shouted as he got farther away. "You too, Lena!"

Kali started to climb up the wall and out of the tunnel where Lena was. Lena smirked. "I see you have a boyfriend."

"Shut up, no I don't..." Kali said, restraining a smile. "I do have a headache, though, and every inch of my body hurts..." Lena had suddenly stopped smiling.

"You got beaten, didn't you?"

"How can you tell?"

"You look horrible! There's dried blood and scars all over you!"

Kali yawned. "Lena, can you do me a favor?"

"Anything."

"Can you catch me...?" Kali fell abruptly. Lena caught the unconscious girl.

"Nimbus!" The nimbus came right after Lena's call. Fang scooched over to make room for Kali and helped Lena get her on. Then Lena got on, standing on her knees. "Um... To an inn, Nimbus. It zoomed off.

Sasha and the remaining fighters fell to their knees. Sasha, Jade, and Jed cracked a nut and ate it. Sasha got up and slashed Alex surprisingly. Jade cast shine plasma again. Jed cast spark plasma and Aiden called on the djinni, Shine.

But the only mark on Alex was the one that Sasha gave him; a long, bloody cut down the middle. Alex yelled. "Time to end this!"

He kicked Sasha. She landed away from him and rolled over.

"Sasha!"

"No! Sasha!"

"Get out of the way! No!"

When she got up and looked up, he was running toward her at breakneck speed. Then her warped in front of her and thrust his sword at her. there was the sound of running, three gasps, and yells as Alex's sword got covered in blood...Sasha had a look of pain and horror on her face.
