Shortly after however, they were suddenly attacked by the Bison King. Our Heroes gave it everything they had against the Bison King, but no matter what they tried, none of their attacks worked on him. But the fight is suddenly is taken to a sudden halt when the Bison King uses a technique that Zack's grandfather, master Stevens once used. When Zack asked the Bison King where he learned the technique, it was revealed that's the Bison King was once a student to Master Stevens. It was then revealed that long ago, the Bison King made a deal with a witch to protect his treasure. However, the witch ended up tricking the Bison King, making a ring of fire around the castle, that way the Bison King and his daughter wouldn't be able to sleep in their own home. Desperate to put out the fire, the Bison King asks Zack in the others to bring Master Stevens to the castle the try to figure out how to put out the flames.

Chapter Twelve:

Picking Up Master Stevens:

We see Zack and Jacob riding on the Skylust cloud, making their way to master Stephens Island, however, they are also keeping an eye out for the Bison King Daughter. While making their way to the island, something crost Jacob's mind.

Jacob: Hey Zack?

Zack: Yeah?

Jacob: This just occurred to me. Do you know what the Bison King's daughter looks like? Let alone her name?

Zack: (He realizes that he never asked for a name or what the girl looks like) That's a good question.

Jacob: Well this is just great, we're pretty much flying around blind.

Zack: I'm sure something will come up, hopefully.

Jacob: You think we should go back and ask the Bison King what his daughter looks like and what her name is?

Zack: Nah, we're almost to the ocean, heading back would only waste time.

Jacob: I guess you're right.

Zack was searching for any girl of Bison King which his mind was thinking about her appearance.

Jacob: Hey, I can smell the ocean from here.

Zack: That's good. Once we get to the ocean, we will be at my grandpa's place at no time.

Jacob becomes curious about what the girl would look like. His eyes close about something then trying to find the girl.

Just then, the boys heard a scream, a girl scream to be exact.

Jacob opens his eyes and turns to see who was screaming.

Jacob: Whose screaming?

Zack: I don't know, but it sounds like a girl.

Zack and Jacob look down and sees that a twelve-year-old girl is being chased by a pack of mountain lions.

Jacob: I think she needs our help?

Zack: Yes, and she might be the Bison King's Daughter.

Jacob: Let's help her then... Do you have a plan?

Zack: We go in, fight the mountain lions, and save the girl.

Jacob: I call the right side!

Zack: Then I call the left.

Jacob and Zack jump off of their cloud then and they fight lions. The girl that the mountain lions were chasing was 4'7 feet tall and weighed ninety pounds. She had long black hair and dark brown eyes. She was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and blue shorts and shoes. Jacob and Zack begin to beat the lions and makes sure none of them gets to the girl. Soon, the mountain lions got the hint and started running away from the boys. After the mountain lions ran off, Jacob and Zack then look at the girl

Jacob: Are you okay?

Girl: (Hugs Jacob) Oh thank you! I thought I was a goner for sure.

Jacob was surprised about the hug and starts wrapping his arms around her.

Zack: Are you okay though? Those mountain lions didn't hurt you, did they?

Girl: (Pulls away from Jacob) No they didn't, but thanks to you two, I get to live another day.

Jacob: Why were they chasing you?

Girl: I was doing some hunting for my father, but as I was doing that, those mountain lions picked up my scent and started chasing me.

Jacob: Sounds like the hunter became the hunted. (The girl sadly nods)

Zack: (Just then, something crosses Zack's mind) Wait a minute, are you by chance the Bison King's Daughter?

Girl: Why yes I am? How did you know?

Jacob: Wow really?! What luck, we were searching for you.

Girl: You were?

Zack: Yes, we met your father a little while ago and he told us that you were gone hunting and have been gone for a while, so he asked us to find you for him.

Girl: Wow, you met my dad and got to live to tell about it? (Jacob and Zack nod at her) Wow, I don't think I know anybody that managed to survive against my dad. He's a very strong man.

Jacob: Yeah, we know.

Zack: By the way, what's your name?

Bella: My name is Bella.

Jacob looks at Bella and Zack then shrugs his shoulders then calls for his cloud to come and pick them up.

Jacob: Do you think she can ride on Skylust?

Bella: I will try to. (Jacob's offers his hand to her)

Jacob helps Bella on the cloud, and surprisingly, she is able to stay on, she didn't need anybody to help her up.

Zack: Wow, you must've been good all your life.

Jacob: I bet she is (Bella starts blushing for his hand was holding onto hers and his hand felt warm)

Zack: Okay, hang tight. Next stop, grandpa's island.

Bella nods at him, and the cloud took off to the ocean.

Bella: By the way, where are we going?

Zack: We're going to my grandpa's place, your father needs his help to put out the fire around his house.

Bella: Do you think he'll be able to help? Let's hope so.

Zack: We're hoping so.


Meanwhile, on Master Stevens's island, Master Stevens is seen sitting at his house reading a dirty magazine.

Master Stevens: Man, this is amazing.

Little did he know, however, was that Zack, Jacob, and Bella all arrived on his Island thanks to the Skylus cloud, they didn't get off all that once they arrive at the island.

Zack: Grandpa!

Hearing Zack's voice made Master Stevens jump, and he quickly hides the dirty magazine.

Master Stevens: Zack, is that you?

Zack: Yes it's me, and Jacob.

Master Stevens: Huh? Jacob too?

He walks out of the house and sees, Zack, Jacob, and Bella standing in front of his door.

Master Stevens: What are you kids doing here? (Sees Bella) And who is this?

Jacob: She's our new friend.

Zack: And the Bison King's daughter, Bella.

Master Stevens: The Bison King? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a while.

Bella: These two saved me.

Master Stevens: That's good to know.

Zack: The Bison King claims that he was once your student, is that true?

Master Stevens: Yes, it is true. Of course, he wasn't known as the Bison King around that time.

Jacob: So Master Stevens... Can you help us with a little problem?

Master Stevens: And what would that be?

Jacob: His home is surrounded by flames.

Master Stevens: So, the rumors of Cutthroat Mountain are true, that means he's been killing innocent people that go near his castle. I had hoped that these rumors were false. Damn him, I taught him better than that! What would make a man go from kind and gentle to such a violent man?

Zack: Greed?

Master Stevens: Very good Zack, greed can make people change.

Jacob was learning a new lesson from Master Stevens, his attention to sees the beautiful scene of the ocean. Walks over and watching the waves are flipping everywhere.

Zack: So... About the castle...

Master Stevens: Forget it, I'm not helping him.

The Kids: WHAT?!

Master Stevens: You heard me, I'm not helping him. The Bison King made his own bed and it's time for him to lay on it. The next time you see the Bison King, tell him he's on his own because I want no part of him anymore. (He turns around and heads back in the house)

Bella: Wait, you don't understand.

Master Stevens: What is it that I don't understand, other than the fact that your father dug himself inside a hole and became a soulless murdering monster.

Bella: Please Master Stevens, you don't understand the whole story, my father was tricked.

Master Stevens: By who?

Bella: By a witch. You see many years ago before our castle was covered in flames, thieves would always break into our home to try to steal our treasure, forcing my father to wake up in the middle of the night to stop them. Eventually, my father had enough of all the break-ins and made a deal with the witch to protect his treasure. However, the witch ended up tricking him, she created a ring of fire around our home preventing us to sleep in our home ever again. The witch then told my father that if he wants the ring of fire to be gone, he must deliver 1000 decapitated heads to her, only then, will she get rid of the Ring of Fire. So you see these Masters Stevens, it's all that witch's fault.

Jacob: I see. (Returns from the sight)

Master Stevens: (Sighs) Fine. I'll help put the fire out. (This makes the kids cheer in joy) (Thinking) Of course, I am going to give that Bison King a piece of my mind when I arrive.

Jacob and Zack were smiling at Master Stevens, then they are fist bump with each other.

Zack: Okay, now that you're on board, let's get going.
