Team Two…
"So how long do you think it will take to get actoss this place?" Bloom asked.
Tecna pulled up her computer screen. "By my calculations it shouldn't take us to long, as long as we don't run into any trouble."
"We are in a place called Deadman's Desert. It's pretty much a garentee we are going to run into trouble." Riven walked past everyone to catch up with Helia, who was taking the lead.
"Some boyfriend. He just goes and leaves me behind." Musa huffed.
"I don't think it's like that Musa. Riven just went up to talk to Helia. If you haven't noticed, this is a lot for Helia. His girlfriend has turn evil, is in love with someone else, and is now getting married. Riven is just trying to be a good friend. You need to support that."
"You're totally right Nabu. I'm being selfish. Helia needs us just as much as Flora does. It's also a good change to see Riven being so supportive."
Up ahead with Riven and Helia.
"Hey man, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing alright."
"Come on Helia. You're not fooling any of us with that answer."
Helia sighed, "You're right. The truth is I am worried sick. What if we don't make it in time? What if Flora marries Orion and stays evil forever?"
"Those are some pretty tricky questions, that I honestly don't know the answers to. But what I do know is, we all care about Flora a lot. We got beaten up badly last time and we came back. We will do everything in out power to save her."
"Thanks Riven. I have to say I have never heard you talk like that before."
Riven gave him a dismissive wave. "Don't get use to it."
Helia gave a little chuckle.
"It's good to know that you can still laugh." Nabu came up to walk with the boys up front
"Yeah. It's been awhile since I had a reason to laugh."
"Don't worry man. Soon we will have plenty of reasons to laugh." Nabu gave Helia a pat on the back.
"Hey, sorry to ruin your mussy guy moment, but is it me or is it getting extremely not." Musa started fanning herself with her hand.
"Well it is a desert. They do have a tendency to be hot." Riven smirked.
Musa gave him a small shove. "That's not what I meant. I meant that it seems that the weather has changed drastically."
"Well, we cant do anything about it. We got to keep going." Bloom said.
The group walked on for some time not saying anything.
"Guys, I don't feel to good." Tecna staggered a little.
"Yeah me neither." Musa leaned on Riven for support.
"I don't think any of us is feeling good." Nabu was leading on his magic staff.
Bloom fell to the ground. Soon followed by everyone else.
Bloom woke up and saw something in the distance. It was her lost birth parents, Oritel and Miriam, with them was Daphne. Bloom got up and started running towards them. But no matter how fast she ran. She never seemed to get any closer to them.
"Please, I can't lose you again!" Bloom yelled.
Nabu woke and saw his parents and Layla. Layla looked like she was about to cry and his parents looked angry. From the looks on their faces, he knew that they were canceling the wedding. Nabu tried running to them but couldn't catch up.
"You can't separate us!" Nabu yelled.
Tecna woke up and saw Timmy. She got up and started running towards him. He looked at her with a sadden expression and turned away. With his back turn he threw the communicator. Never looking back.
"Timmy, don't leave me here!" Tecna yelled.
Riven woke up and heard evil laughter. He then saw Darcy and the rest of the Trix. He wanted to fight them, but he knew they were too powerful. So he ran way. But no matter how fast he ran they seemed to always be close behind.
"You're not controlling me again!" Riven yelled.
Musa woke up and heard someone singing. She recognized it as her mother's voice. She got up and looked around but couldn't see her. She started running towards the voice, but no matter where she ran she couldn't find her mother.
"I need to see you, one last time!" Musa yelled.
Helia woke up and saw Flora back to her normal self.. He ran towards her. But the more he ran towards her the more she backed away. He was so happy to see that his Flora was back.
"Flora, you're back!" Helia yelled.
He kept running but then he suddenly stopped realizing that it couldn't be her. They hadn't confronted Orion yet. The magic still controlled Flora and she was still evil. And like that it was like a fog was lifted from his eyes. Helia looked down and saw that he was only a few feet away from falling into a giant ditch. He looked for his friends and saw that they were still in the trance and heading for the ditch. Using his laser string gloves, Helia grabbed all of his friends just in the knick of time. He ran to them.
He started shaking Riven, "Hey man, wake up."
"What, what happened?"
"I don't know but help me wake everyone else up." Helia ran to Nabu.
Everyone was now awake and wondering what had just happened.
"From my research I believe that what happen was the desert put us in a magical trance. It made us see someone that we wanted to see or someone we never wanted to see again. That way we would start running. The images brought us to that ditch to meet our ends." Tecna put her screen away.
"Luckily someone was able to break the trance in time. Thanks Helia."
"Of course Bloom."
"I don't know about you guys, but I have had about enough of this place."
"I agree Musa, and look over there." Nabu pointed ahead. "I think it's the end of the desert."
Everyone broke out into a run and headed to the end of the desert and the beginning of their true mission.
