Wow, I read some of the reviews and some of you were completely freaked out over what I did to Cat and Robbie. No need to worry, though; there are still two chapters left of this story, so who knows what could happen to them by then?

This chapter is going to be a long one as well, so hopefully I've played with your emotions enough to keep you interested! *laughs menacingly* And for you Bade/Tandre/Cabbie shippers that have been reading this story thus far… let's just say there will be some awesome ship moments in both chapters. I'm on the road visiting colleges right now, so I have a little bit of time to write, but I don't know how long that's going to last. And at the end of the story, I have an announcement for you all.

So until then… Let's dim the lights, cue the suspense, and get this story going! :D

Jade's eyes flew open and she gasped for air as she stared around her in a daze. She still felt dizzy, her chest hurt, and her body slam into the wall combined with the torturous fight against the disgusting goo made all of her muscles sore and weak. In other words… she felt like shit.

It wasn't the first time she had felt this much pain. She had gotten beaten worse by her dad than this when she was little. But the sheer fact that her friends (even Vega) had to suffer with her made her feel ten times worse emotionally.

It didn't take her long to figure out that she was sitting on Beck's lap. She laid her head against his chest in exhaustion and could feel and hear that he was breathing as heavily as she was. She looked up and found him leaning against the wall and staring down at her with concerned eyes.

"Hey," he said, barely able to get anything else out of his mouth.

She smirked. "Hey yourself."

She scooted off of his lap and sat next to him. Beck carefully examined her face, especially the cut on her cheek. "You feeling okay?"

"Never better!" Jade said in her mock Tori voice. She half-expected Tori to say "I don't talk like that!" like she usually did, but this time she heard nothing from the spunky brunette.

A little to their right, Andre was stroking Tori's hair as her head rested on his shoulder. She wasn't as lucky as the others (excluding Cat and Robbie, of course). Beck, Jade, and Andre were strong enough to fight against the odds physically and mentally. However, she, on the other hand, had passed out from dehydration and lack of air after exiting the tube.

Andre nervously kept running his finger through her hair, hoping that she would wake up. He was worried sick about her. He was so busy trying to find the hole Beck had cut out with the glass cutter while they were swimming that he didn't know if Tori had "drowned" or if she was just plain tired. "Come on, Tori," he murmured and kissed her forehead. "Wake up. We need you; I need you."

He gently shook her shoulder and Tori's eyes slowly fluttered open. "What… what happened?" she said, suddenly feeling the same pain in her chest as the others felt in theirs. She cautiously pushed herself up and a searing hot sensation shot up her back. She cried out in pain and Andre massaged her shoulders, trying to distract her from her anguish.

"We made it out, Tori. You're not trapped up there anymore," he said. "Look around."

She did as she was told and saw Beck and Jade whispering to each other and almost practically sitting in the same position(s) they were. "Oh my god," she breathed. "That was the scariest moment of my life."

Andre sighed. "I'm not going to argue with you on that one." He saw Tori space out with a troubled look on her face. "You okay?"

Tori glanced at him, startled. "I'm fine. I just want to go see how they're doing."

Andre steadied her waist as she struggled to get up. Her legs wobbled underneath her and felt like jelly as she took her time walking over to Beck and Jade.

"Can I talk to you for a moment, Beck?" she asked, interrupting whatever conversation they were having at the moment.

He glanced up at her and breathed a sigh of relief, glad to see that she was okay as well. "Yeah, sure."

Tori rolled her eyes at Jade's nasty glare and dragged Beck over to a nearby corner. Even though Tori had apologized and everything, Jade was still naturally protective when it came to any interaction between Tori and Beck.

"We need to talk about what happened between us," Tori started off. "I feel guilty telling you this, but…"

"It didn't mean anything? That it just happened in the spur of the moment?" Beck finished for her.

Tori looked at him in surprise. "How did you know I was about to say that?"

"Because I feel the same way." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, flicking the goo off that stuck to it.

"But then why did you try to kiss me in the first place, even when I refused to the second time?"

Crap, he thought. He knew she would ask him something like that. "I was trying to move on. I decided to stop being a coward and try and forget about Jade. It didn't work," he said softly.

"So you admit I was your rebound girl."

"No, you weren't!" He put a hand on your shoulder. "Look, you're an amazing person, Tori. I've always had feelings for you- but what I didn't realize until all of this happened that they were merely platonic. Don't put yourself down because of my stupidity, okay?"

She nodded. "Okay."

She looked over to where Andre and Jade were chatting. They looked like they were having a nice conversation.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Beck's voice. "You like him, don't you?"

Tori gave him a shy smile and she blushed slightly. "I think I might. And you still love Jade, right?"

Beck let out a nervous laugh. "That I do. "

Tori's smile grew wider. "I guess we both got lucky, huh?"

Beck grinned and gave Tori a quick hug. "Yeah, we sure did."

Tori didn't know if he was talking about their rescue or Jade, so she assumed that he was implying about both. She squeezed Beck a little tighter and hoped that everything would be okay soon.

At the same time, Jade had joined Andre in watching Beck and Tori talk. "So, you and Tori, huh?"

Andre snapped his head towards her with a wild look in his eyes and then looked down at his lap. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, don't lie to me, Andre. You so like her," she teased him.

He rolled his eyes. He couldn't lie to Jade; she always managed to get the truth out of him one way or another. "Okay, maybe a little."

She smirked and leaned against the wall with satisfaction. "Good, because I think she likes you too."

"And how would you know that?"

"She apologized for trying to kiss Beck and said she likes someone else now. And what other guy could she possibly be closer to?" She gave him a look that said Duh! "Get where I'm going with this?"

"Yeah, I gotcha." He shot the question right back her. "And how are you and Beck doing?"

She bit her lip and thought about it. "I have no idea. I don't know what to think now. I need to talk with him and figure things out after Vega's done with him."

She looked at him and smiled. "You scored a good girl, Andre."

He stared at her in disbelief. "I thought you hated Tori."

"I still don't like her. I just don't feel like insulting her as much anymore," Jade said, trying to cover up her mistake.

Andre chuckled and shook his head. "Good luck with Beck- he's a pretty lucky guy."

Jade, remembering how close they became on Broadway, gave him a side hug as she saw Tori walking over to them. "Thanks. And Tori's a lucky girl to have someone like you."

Jade got up and headed towards Beck, who was still standing in the corner. "So… how goes things?" she asked awkwardly.

"Everything's okay, I guess. A hell of a lot better than they were before," he laughed bitterly.

The smile dropped off his face and he became dead serious. "Look… I need to get something off my chest."

He took a deep breath. 'I'm sorry- for everything. The arguments, the breakup, what happened between me and Tori… "

He paused, trying to think of words to say that could possibly express his feelings. "I've screwed up many things in my life. I screwed up relationships with my parents, my cousin, my brother…" He looked Jade directly in the eye. "But there's nothing I regret more than throwing away what we had."

Jade's eyes widened in shock as Beck kept talking. "I'll understand if you don't want to get back together again because I was a major jerk to you. But I just want you to know that even though I've had lots of girls chasing after me… You are the only girl I've ever loved- and I'm not bluffing when I said that."

For the first time in a while, Jade was speechless. "I…I don't know what to say, Beck." Her bottom lip started to quiver. "You… you hurt me. Do you even know how I felt after you didn't open the door?"

She paused for a second. "I felt worthless. It felt like I was thrown under a bus and left to die. I feel like I can't trust you anymore." Tears started to form in her eyes. "How can I be with you if I don't know if I can put my absolute faith in you- that you would love me unconditionally, like you used to say when we first started dating? I don't know if I can risk the pain again."

She started sniffling and the tears finally broke loose and poured down her face. "Jade-" Beck said, putting a hand tenderly on her shoulder.

"But I can't stop loving you!" she cried, putting a hand over her face to hide her puffy eyes. "I missed you so freaking badly you don't even know!"

Beck pulled her into a hug, not being able to stand her pain any longer. "I think I do. I felt the same way," he whispered.

He tilted her chin up and kissed her for the first time in months, and Jade couldn't help but kiss him back. She had felt so lonely without Beck by her side that it was almost unbearable. But now, with him kissing her with the same passion as their first kiss three years ago, she felt secure; she felt like she was worth something to someone.

Tori tapped Andre's shoulder and pointed to the "new" couple making out in the corner like old times. "Aww, they look so happy together!" she exclaimed. 'I'm so happy for them."

"Yeah, I just hope that Jade will be less of a gank from now on," Andre joked.

"Oh, she will be." Tori smiled at him knowingly.

"How can you be so sure?"

"I told her I liked someone else," Tori laughed.

"Ooh, who's the new dude now?" Andre teased her.

Tori started giggling madly, her nerves now taking control of her brain. "I can't tell you."

"Oh, come on, I'm your best friend!"

"Says who?" she said with a twinkle in her eye.

"Oh, you're going to regret saying that!" Andre said and started tickling her in places that wouldn't involve her hurt back. Tori's giggling erupted into loud bouts of laughter.

"Aww, how sweet! It's a happy ending!" Arthur sneered in their ears.

The two pairs broke apart suddenly and, realizing that they weren't free just yet, snapped back into reality. "What do you mean? We're all back together again! You lose, so hah!" Tori stuck out her tongue in response.

"You know that he can't see you, right?" Beck said. Tori shrugged her shoulders in embarrassment.

"Oh, but I did. And I think at this point I know more than you all do. Did you even to bother to notice that something was wrong? That you are missing some people from your little posse?"

Jade was suspicious now. She knew something still hadn't felt quite right. It was quieter than usual. On occasion, they would be interrupted by a random thought or a puppet's snide comments. Wait a second…

"Oh my god." Tori said as the answer struck her. "Cat and Robbie."

"They didn't… make it out?" Andre stuttered, his heart dropping into his stomach.

Beck ran to the other side of the tube to look for them. He came back with his hands in his fists. "No sign of them. And that tube is completely full now. If they had been able to get out, they would be with us right now."

He looked down at the floor. "There was no other escape."

As soon as he said that, Jade's heart broke into pieces. She started to sob hysterically and buried her head into Beck's chest. "No! They can't be gone! Not Cat!" Cat was the closest thing she had to a sister. She was always there when she was down, no matter how much of a bitch Jade was to her. And even though Jade merely tolerated Robbie, she still cared about him a little bit. She didn't completely hate the guy, especially since Cat was so close to him in the first place.

Weirdly enough, Jade took the news the hardest and continued to wet the front of Beck's shirt with her tears. Beck and Andre regressed into a somber mood, even shedding a tear or two for their fallen comrades.

Tori, on the other hand, went into denial. Unlike the others, she had never lost someone close to her before and she refused to believe that they were dead. Whatever happened to that perfect world they lived in where they felt protected under their parents' wings? It was amazing how the tables turned on them so fast. She decided to ask Arthur herself about what really happened to them.

"They aren't gone, you wazzbag! You're just pulling our chains!" she yelled.

Everyone went quiet and waited for Arthur's answer. No response came for about a minute and everyone started to lose hope. Then, out of nowhere, came Arthur's signature soft, evil chuckle.

"I guess you'll have to find that out for yourselves."

Everyone's eyes lit up, their hopes suddenly renewed. "So are you issuing us a challenge?" Jade asked.

"Precisely. I'll make a deal with you. If you find your friends, I may just let you go. If you don't… you will not only never see them again, but you will be forced to work for me or be punished some more- it's your decision."

Before anyone could even comprehend what he was saying, Jade said, "You have a deal."

"Jade! We didn't even get to discuss it!" Tori protested.

"Do you want to see them again or not? We don't really have a choice here, Vega!" Jade yelled, on the verge of tears again. "We're not just friends; we're a family."

Everyone was surprised. They weren't used to seeing Jade be so emotionally fragile and caring, but Beck understood. Behind her cold, bitter exterior, she really did have a heart; she just hid it behind a thick, icy wall of insecurity.

Tori smiled. "You're right," she said, hugging them all at the same time. "We are a family- and that'll never change."

Arthur saw this group hug in the security camera and grimaced. "Ugh, I think I'm going to puke. Where do you guys think you are, in a Disney movie?"

Andre broke away and waved his fist in the air. "We will find them, Arthur! You better watch your back."

Arthur gave the monitor a lopsided grin and shook his head slowly in amusement. Those kids just wouldn't give up! It was so sweet… and so freaking irritating at the same time. "Trust me, I won't have to. You have only two hours to save them before I decide to commence my operation. Good luck to you all." Then, his voice disappeared for good.

They all looked at each other in alarm. Only two hours? ! They didn't even know where Cat and Robbie were! Tori groaned. "Great. Now what do we do?"

Beck looked to his left. "Well, I'm pretty sure Arthur sealed the door we came in shut, so we have to find another way out of here."

Jade looked down and noticed the tool belt around Beck's waist (not that she wasn't checking him out or anything…). "Is there anything in that tool belt that could help us get out of this room?"

Beck followed her gaze and unstrapped the tool belt. "I almost forgot about this! Andre, lay yours on the ground like I'm doing right now." He started taking out all the tools out one by one. "Nice going, Jade," he said, impressed by her ability to act in tough situations.

Andre took his tools out as well. "Let's see, we have here a screwdriver, pliers, a lock picker, a glass cutter, a drill, a small pickax, and a hammer."

"Since it seems like there's no definite way out right now, we'll have to try and dig our way out. Andre, you and I will handle the drills; Tori, you can have the pickax; and Jade, you can get swingy with the hammer."

"Aw, baby, you know me so well!" she said sweetly before taking the hammer and suddenly slamming it into a nearby wall. Tori started chipping away at the crumbling concrete floor as Beck and Andre turned the drills on and went to work in a corner of the room so the girls wouldn't get hit by flying debris.

A little while later, concrete chunks were scattered across the room and Tori started coughing from all the dust now present in the air. "This isn't working!" she yelled above the noise of the drills. Even with all those tools, they had barely made a dent into the floor and walls of the room. "We've been working for an hour and what are we getting accomplished? Nothing!"

Beck and Andre stopped drilling and scanned their surroundings. They just saw the same thing Tori was seeing: no progress.

"There's gotta be another way out of this place," Beck muttered while massaging his temple with his hand.

He then glanced over at the glass tube, which was, unlike when they had first seen it, empty. "Hey guys!" he called over to them. "Look what happened while we were busy working!"

Andre saw where Beck was getting at. "And the holes you cut out are still there too! Maybe if someone crawls in there, we can find out where they went."

Jade rolled her eyes. "Duh! There has to be a reason why the goo isn't there anymore. What did it do, disappear into thin air?" She pushed the boys aside. "Stop staring at the door like idiots, I'm going in there."

Beck and Andre grinned at each other- the old Jade was back.

A little while later, her voice bounced off the glass. "Guys! I found something! It looks like some kind of flap built into the floor."

Tori, Beck, and Andre went to join here and they all stood there and gawked at the door. Tori shook in fury. "I hate this man sooo much."

"Don't we all," Jade muttered. She peeked through the opening and saw something a little out of the ordinary below her- she saw the tops of cylinders filled with some kind of clear liquid. She peaked a little farther and proceeded to see rows and rows of the same cylinders. What the heck are these things? she wondered. She intended to find out. "I'm going down."

"Jade, you don't know what's down there!" Beck said, concerned for her safety.

"Babe, I'll be fine." Jade pecked him on the cheek and the others watched as she slid through the flip.

It wasn't a far drop, fortunately for her. She found herself sitting on top of some of the cylinders. She jumped down and whipped her head around in frenzy, looking for any potential threats. It was pretty much the same as the computer room, except there were many more wacky machines that she had never seen in her life. There was also a glass dome in the center of the room; it was small, round, and looked like it was placed there for a reason.

Jade sighed and relief and looked at what she had just jumped off of and let out a scream of fright. Wait, were those-

People. There's people in those things. She gaped at the captives, not believing what she was seeing. There was one person per container and each person was still fully clothed. The victims' ages ranged from adolescence to what looked like mid 50's and nobody was wearing any sort of mechanism to help him/her breathe. Now, she was convinced that this was where Cat and Robbie were being held.

She ran to the very back row and gasped- there they were, right in the middle of the row resting peacefully in the clear liquid. Jade ran to Robbie's canister and tapped the glass furiously, hoping that he would wake up. When he wouldn't wake up, she did the same thing to Cat's container. Again, she got no response.

"Don't worry, we'll get you guys out of here," she whispered as she stroked the glass trapping Cat. She bit her tongue and looked at Cat's face. She appeared to be sleeping, but her chest was not moving. Was she actually dead or just being held in a comatose state? Jade desperately hoped that it was the second possibility.

Before she could call the others down, she shrieked as she felt her arms being squeezed together behind her back. "I suggest you prepare yourself for what's to come because it's not going to feel very pleasant."

Jade gritted her teeth in pain and promptly kicked whoever was behind her hard in the shin. Mr. Muerto, not expecting her to retaliate in the first place, loosened his hold on her and cursed under his breath. Jade then turned around and whacked him in the jaw, then kicked him in the stomach, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Jade looked around for more people coming at her and turned to run, but not before a hand grabbed her ankle. Her attacker pulled her leg out from under her and they began to wrestle.

"Guys! Help! Now!" Jade hollered, trying to fight against the man's unlimited endurance.

Hearing Jade's screams, Beck immediately barreled through the flap with Andre and Tori close behind him.

"Jade! Where are you?" Beck shouted.

"Over here!" Jade's voice was muffled as she tried to get Mr. Muerto off her back. He twisted her arm behind her and she cried out as she heard something snap and pain shooting through her arm like knives.

Beck saw her in anguish and instantly became furious. "Get off of her!" He sprinted over to them and pried the man off of Jade.

He helped Jade up as the man was taking the time to regain his composure. "Run," he whispered, and Jade didn't give it a second thought.

"Guys? A little help here!" Tori cried. Jade turned the corner and saw Tori and Andre fighting two other guys. She ignored the fire blazing up her arm and proceeded to punch Andre's attacker in the face.

The young man recoiled away from Andre, taken aback by the sudden assault. Andre, seeing his chance, shoved his shoulder with a great amount of force, causing the attacker to turn around and groan as Jade nailed him in between the legs. His face turned grey and scaly and he fell down stiff as a board, as if he had been deactivated like a robot.

Andre realized something. "That's what turns them off!" he told Jade.

Jade turned around and saw Tori running around the room like a scared chicken with an older woman behind her. "Tori! Beck! Kick them between the legs!"

"That's so inappropriate!" Tori cried out in response but turned around and did so anyway. The woman let out the same noise and turned off as well. Beck, still wrestling with Mr. Muerto, did the same thing. The bald man's face lost all of its color and pretty soon his body matched his eyes- dead and lifeless.

Tori and Beck ran to join Jade and Andre. "Anyone else coming to get us?" Tori asked.

"Doesn't look like it," Andre responded. He scanned the room for other accomplices, but he saw none. "Only four people? Why didn't he send out more to torture us?"

"Because he's an idiot," Jade sneered, hoping that Arthur could hear her. "What kind of dictator who wants to take over the world does that? Clearly his ego is going to his head."

Suddenly, the pain in Jade's arm escalated without warning. She screamed and dropped to the ground cradling her broken arm. At the same time Andre dodged a fireball that was shot from one side of the room. "What the hell was that? !" he cried. They glanced to the side and saw a not-so-pleasant-looking Arthur with an assortment of weapons attached to him.

"You sons of a bitch," he growled, slowly walking towards them. "Why must you keep doubting me? Do you know what I had to go through to get to where I am right now? Do you even know what pain is?" He looked over at Jade and laughed. "I know Jade does now. Isn't that right, Jadelyn?"

Too consumed by the pain eating her arm, all Jade could do was groan in agreement. "My dad was my life. He was my best friend. He taught me everything I needed to know about life. And a drunk driver took all of that away from me."

He clenched his hands in fists and Beck swore he saw smoke coming out of his ears. "And now I'm going to do the same to you all. My father will be avenged!"

He pressed a button on his watch and a hologram appeared in front of their faces. The teens watched in horror as the robot people and tanks started to exit the building, crushing and killing everything in their path.

Andre couldn't take it anymore. "Stop it!" he yelled. He ran towards Arthur and tried to tackle him. However, his attempt was in vain as he bounced off of Arthur like a rubber ball and got slammed into the floor.

Arthur shook his head and looked down at the boy. "Silly, silly Andre. Your heart contains compassion but lacks control of it." He got a long, skinny weapon that looked like a gun out of his holster. "I'll give you guys ten seconds to make a run for it. Then, we'll fight it out."

He gave them one last grin before putting on his sunglasses and crossing his arms. "Let the battle begin."

Jade quickly motioned the others to come closer and began to give out instructions at warp speed. "Tori and Beck, you guys take weapons and try to break Cat and Robbie out. Andre and I will hold off Arthur."

"We will?" Andre said and a knot formed in his throat.

Jade gave him a look and Andre surrendered. "Okay, boss. Whatever you say."

They were interrupted by a fireball burning a hole in the middle of their group. "Go! Go! Go!" Jade shouted and pushed Tori and Beck in the other direction as she and Andre ran for cover.

Tori and Beck weaved frantically through the rows of people with glass cutters and hammers in their hands. When they finally found them, Beck took out the glass cutter and started carving a hole in Robbie's container and Tori got to work with Cat's.

However, within minutes, Tori got impatient- the cutters were so slow! "This isn't working!" she shouted and started slamming the glass with her hammer. Beck followed her lead, realizing that the cutters weren't efficient as well.

The glass finally gave way and the clear liquid poured all over them. Tori and Beck reached inside, grabbed Cat and Robbie out of the containers, and set them on the floor. "Cat, wake up!" she ordered, freaked out by how lifeless her body seemed to be. She shook her shoulders and felt her pulse- it was sluggish and slow. She was barely alive. Beck tried to wake Robbie up but saw the same thing. It was like they were in comas.

Meanwhile, Jade and Andre hid behind machines as they escaped attack after attack shot at them. First, he threw fireballs at them. When that didn't work, he moved on to the tranquilizer darts. Finally, he stopped and wiped his forehead, looking exhausted from his failed efforts.

"Hah!" Jade came out from behind a machine and stuck her tongue out at him. "You'll never get us! We're too quick for you!"

Arthur slyly grinned under his hand, satisfied that she was buying the act. He snapped his eyes up and stared at her intensely.

Andre watched in disbelief as Jade's hurt arm was slowly moved behind her. Jade's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open as Arthur's eyes burrowed into her own. Before she knew it, her legs turned to jelly and she collapsed full force onto her arm.

"Jade!" Andre cried out, but Arthur held out his hand, stopping him from going any further. "I should've done this the first time we met," he muttered. He pressed yet another button on his watch and a tiny metal creature with spider-like legs and a funnel-shaped body flew out and latched onto Jade's face. Since Jade was squeezing her eyes shut from all the pain she was experiencing, the virus forced one of her eyes open and prepared to stick some sort of needle into it.

"Soon you will be one of us." Arthur gave out an evil laugh and Jade braced herself for what was to come. I love you, Beck, her final thought was.

Out of nowhere, Andre hit a button on a machine and the glass dome popped open, revealing a big red button. Arthur lost his concentration on Jade and the virus fell onto her lap, no longer activated by his telekinesis. He gritted his teeth in anger and aimed a virus at Andre.

However, since his concentration was all screwed up now, Andre jumped over it and smashed his hand on the button. He glanced back at Arthur, ready to dodge the next blow, but it never came.

Arthur watched in horror as his weapons melted off of him along with his invisible body shield and he was rendered helpless. "Noooo!" he cried. "My powers are gone!"

He growled and cracked his fingers in preparation. "I guess I'll have to do this the hard way." He took his time to rip the watch off of his wrist before lunging at Andre.

Right after Andre had pressed the button, Cat and Robbie's eyes had snapped wide open. "Tori!" Cat cried. Tori gasped and hugged her tightly while Robbie and Beck gave each other pats on the back.

Tori heard Andre cry out and panic filled her brain. She gave Cat one last pat on the shoulder before running to see what was happening. Seeing his chance, Beck did the same thing and ran over to tend to Jade. Cat crawled over to Robbie and he offered her his arms.

"I'm scared," she whimpered. Robbie hugged her to his chest, wondering what the heck was going on. He couldn't see what was happening with the others, and it scared him just as badly as it scared Cat. But he knew he had to be strong for her, just like she was for him when he had gotten rid of Rex.

"Ssh, everything will be okay, I promise," he whispered into her hair.

Cat jumped as she heard Tori shout. "Stop! You're hurting him!" Robbie just held her tighter and buried his face into her shoulder.

"Tori, no! Andre's fine!" Beck exclaimed, but to no avail. Tori had already jumped on Arthur's back.

However, Tori joined Andre pinned to the floor in just a matter of seconds as Arthur's brute strength overwhelmed her skinny figure. They glanced at each other with horrified looks in their eyes and watched helplessly as Arthur pulled a knife out of his pocket and held it just inches above their faces.

Arthur gave them one last nasty look. "This ends now," he growled and raised the knife above his head. Jade gasped and buried her face into Beck's chest and Beck squeezed his eyes shut. Robbie and Cat still couldn't see anything but still held each other tightly after hearing Arthur's words. Tori squeezed Andre's wrist and held back a scream. They all braced themselves for the moment they hoped would never happen: One of their friends would die.

Ten seconds passed and nothing happened. Tori opened her eyes in time to see a giant shoe nail Arthur hard in the head and knocked him unconscious. Behind him, a female smirked in delight.

"And you thought that I couldn't rock 10 inch heels."

Hahaha so I guess it's no surprise who saved the day this time! Or is it? Wow that was a really long chapter! It took me forever to write it though because I'm not exactly the best at writing action scenes so I apologize for the amount of clichés I used and the amount of words I repeated. Last chapter will be posted soon!

Oh, and The Blonde Squad was awesome! AWWW! Robbie was such a sweetheart! He's my new favorite character now X3. I love him without Rex! And the amount of Cabbie was overwhelmingly fabulous and cute. But oh Cat… Why are you so damn oblivious sometimes? But I felt so much better when I saw Ariana's tweet. Cabbie's going to happen! Eeeeeep! I just hope she's not trolling us like Dan did… :( But I guess we'll have to see for ourselves!

Please reviewwwww! ! ! And look out for a The Blonde Squad oneshot coming to theaters near you soon!
