Eva slowly woke up. She couldn't see or hear what was going on outside. She didn't know the others were alive. She was still deeply upset.
Her tears from before had dried up but Eva could still tell where they had been.
'I suppose I should look on the bright side of life. They wouldn't have wanted me to cry all the time,' Eva muttered to herself.
She sighed. She felt a tiny bit better. She needed time though and that's what she needed to focus on. She wasn't going to let anything disturb her. She closed her eyes and began to concentrate and relive her favorite moments of her time with them.
'I guess you would love to see what is happening outside,' Satis said.
Eva's eyes snapped open. She glared at Satis.
'Yeah, well I am busy thinking of the good guys here. In other words, everyone but you,' Eva stuck her tongue out.
Satis shrugged. What she didn't know would never hurt her.
Her false selves had fooled everyone. Canaletto was desperately trying to make them see the truth but it wasn't working.
Prince Aikka stroked his Eva's hair.
'I thought that…' he hugged her.
'It's going to be ok. Trust me. The new Avatar will make sure it does,' his Eva told him.
The words seemed to echo everywhere. They even reached Eva's cage.
'What the?' she yelled.
Satis had let down his guard. Eva was shaking with rage.
'You liar! I want contact with the outside world now! I don't care what I said! You're doing something and I don't like it!' she shouted angrily.
'Oh dear. I guess you do not want to wait until sunset,' Satis smiled evilly.
'What is happening then?' Eva asked curiously.
Canaletto heard the words of Satis. He suddenly saw the sun was about to set. He then realised what was going on. Eva then realised as well.
She saw a long lost memory of what sunset had caused for her. She didn't know how but she knew what Satis now meant.
'No! They're seeing illusions!' she cried in shock.
Her Jordan heard her. He glared at his Eva.
'I have fallen for it again! Yeah well, I am not going to be here for sunset!' he closed his eyes.
Everyone's illusions disappeared. The sun then set.
'Run!' Jordan yelled.
He pointed to the temple. Everyone started sprinting towards the safe area. Jordan followed them.
He then saw the dark spirits rise up. He quickly fired a beam of light and at them and ran on.
'Hurry!' he yelled.
Everyone was running for their lives. They didn't care what happened when they got to the temple. They wanted to live.
Evil came closer to them. Jordan wanted to fire another beam but he didn't want to alert everyone he was the Avatar. There still were people who didn't know. This universe could do without knowing.
They all eventually reached the temple. A white shield appeared and protected them all from the darkness outside.
Everyone breathed heavily. Satis silently watched and cursed under his breath. He turned to Eva. He flung her to the side. She slowly got up and then grinned. She pointed at him.
'They are alive! Yes!' she started jumping up and down with joy.
She felt happier than ever in her life. She felt like she was the highest cloud in the world and no one could get her down.
Eva had really thought they were gone. To know they still breathed meant so much to her. She knew them all. She even loved some of them…
She smiled. She just hoped they would be ok.
The others were catching their breath. They then all stared at Eva's Jordan after they caught their breath.
'What did you mean by you fell for it again?' Molly asked.
'Yeah, you seemed kind of annoyed about it. But then again, you have been annoyed about a lot of things,' Prince Aikka smiled weakly.
Jordan glared at him. He walked into the temple.
'Aren't you coming?' he asked.
'How can you see in there? It is pitch black in there…oh yeah I forgot,' Molly's Aikka sighed.
Molly found she had a torch with her. She turned it on and pointed it into the darkness ahead of her. It was a dim light but everyone could see. She saw the tunnel went on for ages.
'You want us to go in there?' Rue asked.
'Do you want to stay out here?' Eva's Jordan pointed to the dark spirits behind the shield.
Everyone shook their heads.
Jordan was already in the distance. He was at the very end of the light shining from Molly's torch. It was pitch black ahead of him.
'Yeah, I guess if we don't go you will,' Molly muttered.
Jordan turned around and raised his eyebrow.
'I know a way out of here. It can take us back to the Avatar ships as well. I can't really get us all up there,' Jordan pointed upwards.
Everyone stared at the floating Avatar ships.
'Yeah,' Danny remembered what happened earlier.
They all slowly went into the temple and started making their way to the centre. Satis was enraged.
He was already planning. He wasn't going to be beaten this easily.
'I will make sure I succeed. I think I know just the way to do it as well,' Satis smiled evilly.
Everyone had now reached the centre. They saw a small pyramid. Prince Aikka and Eva's Jordan shivered. They both remembered this room all too well. They kept looking around nervously, as if he would come out of the walls.
'Why are you so scared?' pilot Jordan asked.
'Oh it's nothing. Just something that bothers us a bit. It's not important,' Prince Aikka smiled.
Molly raised her eyebrow. She knew something was up. She sneaked up behind both of them. She took a deep breath.
'Boo!' she yelled at the top of her voice.
Prince Aikka and Avatar Jordan screamed. Molly laughed. After they both saw it was just her, they got very angry.
'That wasn't funny,' they said muttered.
'Yeah, well you are both hiding something. Just say what it is that is bothering and I'll understand. You aren't going to get anywhere if you keep things bottled up you know,' Molly sighed.
Satis had been listening. What they were saying interested him. Eva was still really happy. Her mind was open.
He looked and had an idea.
Prince Aikka saw it first.
'Get to the pyramid now!' he yelled.
Everyone looked around and saw what he meant. A Nurasian arrow was flying at them at top speed. They quickly dodged it but when it hit a pillar it exploded and sent them flying.
Everyone slowly got up. They rubbed where they had gotten hurt.
'Yeah. I can see why you hate this place,' Molly's Aikka sighed.
His other self was shocked. He was shaking. Eva's Jordan thought he could see something in the shadows.
'Let's just get to the pyramid. I don't think any of us want anymore surprises,' pilot Jordan said.
Molly was already next to the pyramid. She looked at it and then reached her hand out. Her hand touched it.
The pyramid burst into life and it glowed brightly. Molly stepped back in surprise.
Everything went white. Everyone walked slowly towards Molly. Glowing spheres appeared around them.
'Let me save the long introductions. Creators, everyone here. Everyone here, the creators. There, now let's go,' Avatar Jordan muttered.
Everyone stared at him.
'Yeah that was quick. You came here before me but I didn't think much happened that time,' Prince Aikka said.
'How else did I know about the portal?' Jordan asked.
'I think he probably thought it was thing that Avatars knew. I mean who wouldn't if they knew the truth?' Molly shrugged.
'That's not the only truth you don't know,' Prince Aikka muttered.
Molly raised her eyebrow. She then remembered something Eva had been talking about before she had gone.
'What is the Ultimate Prize?' she asked.
It had been something that had made her wonder a while ago. She had forgotten but now…it seemed important.
'Uh, well, that would be telling,' Rue smiled weakly.
'It's not like they are going to leave without knowing,' Danny nudged him.
'Not if I can help it,' Avatar Jordan muttered under his breath.
The Creators disappeared before they could even say their first words. The portal revealed itself.
Everyone stared at it. Avatar Jordan gestured at Prince Aikka, Rue and Danny not to say anything about the Ultimate Prize.
They nodded.
Molly looked at the portal nervously.
'It looks kind of like the ones back on the Avatar ships,' she noted.
She looked around. She saw no one else was as close to the portal as her. She shrugged.
'Better to try than stick here,' she muttered.
Molly jumped into portal.
Everyone followed after her.
They all landed in a heap. They all got up and looked around. It was dark but they recognized the place instantly. Molly grinned.
'We're in the Avatar's room! We're back!'
