"Tecna? TECNA!" Bloom yelled, running through the hatchery. "We're trapped in a maze, Riven! I don't know where we are"
There was a sharp sound down a corridor, then Riven paused. "Get down!" He said, slinging his arm around Bloom, pushing her to the floor.
"Hello?" The voice echoed through the Hatchery. "We've excaped from the Swarm- Brutesbane is leading them into the forest- he's live bait"
The voice belonged to Flora. "Hello?" Stella yelled. "Guys!" Bloom said happily, jumping up. "We've been looking for you," Sky said.
"Where's Tecna? Did you get the Psi-emitter?"
Bloom's expression changed. "We don't know what happened to Tecna! And we found a new enemy who's keeping the
Psi-Emitter! Its called the 'Overmind!' I think he's one of the Overloard's minions!" Timmy's expression
went grave. "Where's TECNA?" He yelled. "I don't BELIEVE you let her get captured!" He ran past Bloom, searching high and low. "Tecna"
He ran far ahead of the group, looking around wildly. "Timmy, wait!" Riven yelled, running after him. Riven grabbed his arm. "Timmy, you"
He was cut off by a loud groaning noise as the Hatchery shifted shape again. Everyone screamed as a wall formed inbetween the group and Riven.
Riven and Timmy were trapped together. "Guys!" Riven banged on the wall membrane. "Riven! We can't cut through the wall!" Yelled Prince Sky's muffled
voice from the other side. "Find Tecna! We'll try and bust down the wall!"
Riven took Timmy's arm as he ran down the corridors. "I think she's this way," Timmy said. "How do YOU know?" Riven grumbled.
"I just think she is, come on!" Timmy guestured down the hall. "She shouldn't be far. Let's go." He ran down the corridor, then paused.
He found himself in a room with large weapons made by the Zerg. Some of them had fresh blood on the edjes of the pointed spears.
"Tecna?" Timmy shouted, wondering if she was anywhere where she could hear him.
Riven picked up a nearby axe, turning it over in his hand. "Timmy, do you see this blood?" Timmy nodded. "Yes." He touched it with his finger.
"DNA sample it," Riven said, then Timmy took something out of his pocket. He dropped the blood sample on a holopad, and the DNA was scanned.
"Its Tecna's blood. She shouldn't be far," Timmy said, looking around fearfully.
Riven banged his hand on the wall in anger, then froze. He banged it again, wide-eyed. "What are you doing, Riven?" Timmy yelled.
"Feel the wall, Timmy..." Riven said, frightened. "There's someone behind it." Timmy scoffed, then took the axe. Slowly, he felt
the wall with his hand. "Its a body of someone- behind the wall. I'll cut around it..." He was hopeful as he sliced through the wall.
The hatchery moaned in pain as he cut it, and blood spurted out.
Through the Hatchery's blood, he could make out vauge colors of purple and green behind the wall as he cut. "Tecna!" Timmy cried,
taking her out of the wall. Timmy was frantic as he checked her over. "Tecna, oh Tecna!" He said, frowning. "Tecna, speak to me"
He took off his cape and wiped the blood off of her. "She's alive," Riven said. "You can see her breathing."
Timmy nodded, still frantic. He was so occupied in picking her up and running back down the corridor that he didn't notice
strange purple marks under Tecna's eyes.
