Just as a side note, this chapter takes place at the time that Crystal and Flaira get captured.

"Ugh… What happened…?" Flaira groaned, and then suddenly remembered: Gias's forces came and knocked both Crystal and her out.

"Wait! Where's Light!? And Cooper!? And-"

"Jeez, could you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep…"

Flaira turned around to see someone sitting in the corner of the room, blocked off by the shadow in the cell.

"Who are you?" Flaira asked, as she looked around to see Crystal in the other cell across from them.

"I don't know it's up for you decide…" The figure got up, and stepped into the light, revealing herself. Flaira looked at her with a puzzled expression. The girl looked to be around maybe 13 or 14 years old, had bright purple hair, and leafy green eyes.

"Name's Ashley. Your's?"

"Uh, Flaira, but how-"

"I got stuck in this stupid cell because I didn't want to join the alliance with Gias. Besides, I'm a part of the Rebellion, a group of soldiers that help the City of Hex's army. It's nothing special though; just bring them supplies, help with battles, etc., etc… Anyways, how did you goodie goodies end up in here?" Flaira's Hair Instantly stood up in anger, and glowed a ruby red.

"GOODIE GOODIE!? YOU TAKE THAT BACK! I WORKED MY BUTT OFF FOR THE ARMY! IF YOU WANT A GOODIE GOODIE, ASK THE GIRL IN THE CELL ACROSS FROM US!" Flaira screamed with anger.

"Ok, ok, soooory… Anyways, who's that over there? She hasn't woken up yet." Ashley asked, as she handed Flaira a piece of bread.

"Eat, after you were in those Elemental cages, you must be tired; those suck the magic out of you like nothing else."

Flaira hesitated, but she was hungry, so she took the bread and ate a bit of it, it was stale, but it was something to preventing starvation.

"That's Crystal. She's the Princess of The City. She's hardly had any battle experience though; he father wouldn't even let her out of the castle walls. Unlike me and you, who have had at least some experience… By the way, what weapon do you use for fighting?" She asked, as she got up, and looked around at the other cages, and around them. There was nothing inside of any of the jail cells, except the ones that they were in. There were a few guards guarding each of their cells, all of them being a mob called the necromancer from Hexxit. Flaira saw in one of the guard's pockets, they had a set of keys; no doubt that they were the ones for their cages. All of them looked exactly alike; except that they were all holding different weapons, one of them a sword, a dagger, a rapper, and a long sword. Flaira looked at the two guarding Crystal's cage, both looking very intent on their job. Flaira then grabbed Ashley by the collar of her shirt, and dragged her to the back of their jail cell.

"Hey- Ow! What are you-?"

"Just be quiet!" She dragged her to the corner that Ashley was sitting before, and started to whisper to her.

"Have ever tried to break out of here? The guard across from us has a set of key that will open our cages. Do you know of any way to know the four guards out all at the same time?" Flaira whispered, as she saw Crystal wake up, and crawl away from the guards in fear.

"Well now I see why you said see you said she was the goodie goodie… anyways, I would have something one me, but the guards took them away from me- wait… actually I have just the thing…" She got up and went over into the opposite corner of the cell, signaling Flaira to follow her.

"Alright, you need to stand up behind me, so that the guards can't see me grabbing something out of the cage, got it? It'll take me about 2 minutes, so try to distract the guards while I grab it out." Flaira nodded, showing that she understood the message. She got up so that Ashley could start to take away some of the bricks in the corner. Flaira couldn't think of any way to distract them, so she started to talk to crystal.

"Hey Crystal! Did you enjoy your little nap?"

"... Shut up Flaira, I'm not in the mood…" Crystal whispered, as she turned a little bit away from Flaira.

"Hey, don't get so depressed! We'll be out of here in no time!" Flaira said as cheerfully as she could.

"...Says you… How can we escape? It's over Flaira, We're about to be executed I bet, and I bet Light has forgotten all about you…"

"Jeez, you sure are depressed… Snowy."

Almost instantly, Crystal got up and went by the bars on the cage.

"What did you just call ME?"
"Oh, you don't remember Snowy? I gave you that nickname when we were kids. You used to love that nickname Snowy, aren't you happy I'm calling you-"

"WE BOTH AGREED WHEN WE WERE 13, THAT WE WOULDN'T USE THAT NICKNAME ANY MORE!" Crystal yelled, as she rattled the bars, and the soldiers banged on the bars to stop Crystal from banging on them any further. Even though the guards stopped Crystal from rattling the bars, she still was raging about the nickname in her cell.

"Alright, I've got it, now we just need to head back into the other corner…" Ashley said, as they went back into the shady corner of their cell.

"Alright, now we just need some sparks, and we should be able to light this baby up."

"I got this covered… SPARKLER!"

Suddenly, sparks flew out of Flaira's fingertips, and ignited the fuse, Ashley then quickly threw the bomb right in the center of the four guards.

"Hold your breath!" Ashley whispered, as Flaira covered their mouths, and Crystal seeing this did the same. It was too late for the guards to cover their mouths, because some purple gas came out of the bomb, putting all the guards to sleep. After what had seemed like 5 minutes, the gas cleared out of the room, and they were able to breathe again.

"Alright, hey Crystal! Grab the keys from the guard, and get us out of here!" Flaira said, as Crystal saw the keys in the guard's pockets, and grabbed them, and opening up her cage, and theirs as well. After they were all free, they all high fived each other and Ashley Started to speak:

"Alright, we have about a half an hour before they wake up. We need to grab our weapons, supplies, and anything else we may need. We need to avoid as many soldiers as possible, and find the escape pods. But first…"

Ashley picked up the Iron sword one of the guards was holding.

"Pick your weapon, we may need to fight."

Crystal and Flaira looked at each other, shrugged, and choose their weapons; Flaira's being the long sword, and Crystal's being the rapier. They all nodded, and ran off into the hallway.

"Hold up for a moment…" Ashley stopped them in front of a corner, peeked behind it, and jerked her head back.

"...Just as I thought… they have the safe guarded… Flaira, and be your long sword."

Flaira gave the sword to Ashley, and she threw her Iron sword at one of the guards, which stabbed him right in the chest. The soldier jumped, and looked stunned, but then Ashley threw the long sword at him, landing right in the chest as well, killing him. Ashley then signaled them to continue towards the safe, Crystal trying out the passcode, as Ashley and Flaira grabbed their swords, both of them covered in blood from the soldiers.

"Dang it! I can't figure out this code!" Crystal said, as she banged on the keypad.

"Here, we don't need that keypad; I'll just use a little magic! FIRE DRILL!" Suddenly, Flaira's entire arm came engulfed in flame, and started to swirl around, looking sort of like a drill, then, fire came out of the front of the flames, and Flaira directing around in a circle. The circle that Flaira drew in the metal melted away, making the vault accessible. They climbed in, revealing all sorts of different treasures inside. They found their things hidden right in front. They also grabbed a few extra things; such as food, armor, and extra weapons, then they climbed out, and went to go look for the escape pods. They had never noticed the security cameras watching their every move, from inside the cells, to breaking inside of the vault.

Will Gias capture Flaira and Co.? How did they not notice the security cameras? And will we ever find out about Ashley? Find out next time on THE AWAKENING!
