"It seems that you have fallen right into my trap," Belos sneered as he approached the group threateningly.

"What trap?" Darington hated to ask.

Belos snapped his fingers, and the dungeon door behind them snapped shut and locked.

"We're trapped!" Gabby gasped.

"Yes," Belos cackled. "How unfortunate,"

"Let us out of here, Belos!" Blaze snapped.

"Not a chance," Belos walked towards them, eyes gleaming. "You had your chance to hide from me, and now, you cannot escape,"

He twirled his finger into the air, and a cages of steel appeared around Darington, Starla, Zeg, Watts, and Gabby.

"Hey!" Stripes yelled. "Let them go!"

"I might let them go IF you all surrender," Belos spoke. "Surrender everything, including your magic, rogue witches,"

"We'll never surrender our magic!" Blaze growled, flames appearing from his tires.

"Then your friends might as well be petrified," Belos huffed as he made the cages hover.

"What do we do, Blaze?!" Stripes shrieked.

Blaze didn't reply. Instead, he charged forward, tires twirling as he casted his spell of fire towards the powerful witch. Belos, however, managed to see it coming and swerved away before he could get hit.

"Go on, try your spell," he hovered Darington's cage in front of him as a shield. "You will not miss a second time,"

"DARRY!" Blaze gasped, his rage peeking. "Belos, YOU HEARTLESS COWARD—!"

"B, don't do it!" Darington yelled, snapping Blaze towards him. "Get out of here before you get petrified!"

"No!" Blaze shook his head. "I can't!"

AJ gritted his teeth and turned to Stripes, who looked just as worried before picking up the boy and setting him down on his driver seat then he pulled on Blaze.

"Come on! We have to go!"

Blaze glanced over at them in disbelief. He soon heard marching of the witch guards approaching them and sighed.

They had no chance of surviving if their stayed any longer.

With a heavy heart, he blasted the wall with his spell and led him, Stripes and Crusher out, calling on his staff to use for them to fly away.

Belos watched the escape amusingly, causing him to chuckle.

"I should have known they would escape. But they'll come back..."
