Alex blinked his eyes open. The pain in his body was a lot to bear but he shook his head to clear his mind. He found himself tied to a stone tablet now. Upon further inspection, he discovered that he wasn't in his normal clothes anymore. Instead, he was in a plain white kimono. His arms were spread out to his side and his legs were tied together. The Reaper silently cursed his damn luck and looked around when he heard the faint sounds of chanting. He gulped in nervousness with each second that passed by as the chanting began to get louder and louder.

'Shiiit Izzy!'

Back in Death City, the senior class passed around the living room of Gallows Manor. Izzy had ordered Tom and Harry (Thomas and Hadrian) to take Markus on a stroll around for the Vampire to cool down a bit. Everyone was a bit shocked to find that Alex and Markus were dating, so they were blissfully quiet as the kids tried to think of a way to save their youngest. Izzy jolted in her seat and they turned around and stared at her. They watched the young meister grow paler by the second.

Izzy groaned and slumped forward a bit. Bella and Katie rushed forward in case the young meister fell to the floor.

"Shiiiit"

Everyone turned to stare at the young girl as she stood from her seat.

"We need to get the boys. I have a general location of where Alex is. We need to get there fast, there's some type of ritual going on and we need to save him!"

The students quickly ran out the door and dragged the three boys with them to grab a bus and get to the airport.

Alex dazedly looked around the room. The Italian chanting was making him confused and his body felt like lead. Someone was leaning over the teen. They were saying something, but Alex couldn't read what they were saying.

The exhausted teen felt his eyes slipping closed, the last thought running through his head.

'Iz, Markus... hurry'

A relatively large group of people stood outside of the ruins of Arachne's castle. The grounds around them began to shake.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Izzy looked around and then to the ground. "It feels like an earthquake, but it's not. It's something else!"

The group quickly threw themselves down onto the ground. The shaking continued until the building exploded. The screams of every one were barely heard over the sound of the building collapsing.

They heard groaning and saw Alex on the ground in front of them. The teen was covered in blood and unconscious, but he was there and alive in front of them. The adults quickly scrambled over to the teen and deemed it safe to move him. Markus went over and gently lifted his boyfriend into his arms. They nodded to each other and made their way to the South American branch.
