A/N: Alright, sorry this has taken a while, I had to finish assignments for school (term four just commenced). I'm going to wait for a few more reviews before I add (write) anything else, I don't want to be writing this story for an empty audience. To anyone who reads this: Hope you like and I have started linking this story up to aang's time, if your a true avatar fan then you'll have found out the one in the last chpt. There are two links in this one, have fun finding them.

PS; if you can't find them they will be revealed (hopefully if I write it) in the next chpt. Review if you find them :P

Will

Will took her into his arms, and began trying to get the story out of her.

"Alright so your dad is involved in a military group-"

"I don't think it has anything to do with the military", she interrupted as she wiped away the last of the tears.

"Okay, so your dad is involved in a company which 'experiment' on people with abilities, and by abilities you mean like how I can fly. And you also found out that they have taken Corey who can move clay… But they call it raw earth bending?"

Holly was staring at him, as he continued to try and wrap his head around it. He knew she would want to do something to help Corey, and he knew what she was already thinking.

"How about we go to Corey's place tomorrow, see if there is anything there?" Holly clapped her hands together and embraced Will once more, whispering excitedly, "That would be great!"

Holly

They briskly walked up the driveway, trying to escape the rain.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Holly asked once more.

"Yeah, I rang Casey up, she's just three houses down".

"She doesn't know why we're here does she?"

"No, she doesn't have the slightest clue". They knocked on the door, and waited for a response. But none came. After knocking three more times, Will tried the handle and found it unlocked. He swung the door open and they walked in slowly, being careful not to make a sound.

"How bout you wait here? I'll take a look".

"Over my dead body, I'm coming too", Holly snapped. They walked into the lounge room.

"Holly shit", Holly saw Will's jaw drop and she found her eyes fixed to the scene she found before her. The three lounges had been turned on their side, one had had all of its stuffing ripped out and scattered across the room. Two lamps lay on the ground, shattered, and the coffee table was snapped, several splinters had entered the nearby wall, giving it an appearance of a rock-climbing wall. Will and Holly then separated into different rooms and found them all in the same state as the first.

Holly looked into the last room, which she presumed was Corey's when Will finished his side of the house and came in to help her.

"There's nothing left in the kitchen that's not broken or crushed, except for the skylight" After a brief pause he added, "This doesn't feel right, wouldn't they have been more…well cleaner?". There must be something, anything to give us a clue. Holly started pulling the room apart even more, trying to find a clue that would lead her to where they had taken Corey.

"Wait. Stop Holly, if we want to find something we will need to clean this place up. I think we need Casey's help, she will know if anything is out of place". Holly stood still and squeezed her eyes shut, stopping the tears from making their own escape.

"Fine."

They knocked on Casey's front door, and it was almost immediately opened.

"Casey we need your help, can you spare a couple of hours?" Will asked.

"We just need you over at Corey's…" Holly added.

"Sure", she turned around and yelled, "Hey Zach come ring me when the pizza gets here".

Once they were back inside Corey's house and Casey had rid of her shock, Holly began to explain.

"All we know is that there is a company that has taken Corey for some 'experiments' because of what he did with the clay". Holly purposely left her father out of the explanation fearing how Casey might react. "And we need you to help us clean the pace up, and try and find stuff that isn't meant to be here". Casey quickly nodded her head.

"This will take a while so we better get started, Will you do the kitchen, and I'll do this room and Holly go do Corey's room. Make sure you put things where you think they go, and if you're unsure leave them out".

Over an hour later Holly put the last book back onto the bookshelf and then began to pack the checker pieces away. Casey walked into the room closely followed by Will, both sat onto the freshly made bed.

"I found nothing", Will said sadly.

"Me neither, I don't get how someone can make this much mess and not have left anything", Casey sighed, and began to help Holly, picking up the last of the checker pieces. She suddenly froze as still as a statue staring intently at the circular pieces in her hand.

"What's wrong?", Will asked looking over her shoulder. Holly walked around to stare at the circular objects in her hand. Among the black and white pieces of checkers there was another piece, slightly bigger and had a different design on it along with different colors. It had a brown edge, and pictured eight teeth like things surrounding a ring of eight smaller circles, which had a ninth, circle in the middle. It seemed familiar to Holly.

"What is that?" Will asked.

Shrugging Casey said, "I'm not sure, I've never seen it before, it must be our clue". She passed it to Holly, who had reached out for it. But before she could have a better look at it they heard two cars pull up into the driveway.

Zach

"…And it appears that a pilot, who was approaching his hundredth flight has died of a heart attack on the mainland, but this has led to some controversy, one of the scientists who had looked at the body says that he could have been poisoned. The pilot seemed to have drunken something before his fatal death, and he appeared all in good health, his last checkup only being a week or so ago, in other news-" Zach flicked the TV off and stared at the last three pieces of cold pizza, still in the box on the table. He picked up the telephone and stared at the screen. No messages. Over forty minutes ago he had sent her a message, she should have been back by now. He stood up and brushed the crumbs off of his lap. He walked out the front door, putting his jacket on as he went out into the rain. A car and a van, both black, turned into Corey's driveway and Zach watched as a man hopped out another man passed him something. That looked like… a gun… Four other men jumped out of the van and another two came out of the car. They all began to walk up to the house. Zach began to tear down the footpath and came to a halt behind the van, looking up as half o the men went around the back, and the others walked up to the door. He saw the men at the front door shuffling and one of them looked uncomfortable, reaching behind him and reposition an object shoved into the back of his pants. Even from this distance and the rain Zach could see the outline of a gun.

He heard a shout and the men at the front reacted immediately, kicking down the door and rushing into the house. Casey's in there. He was about to run into the house when he heard gunfire and then heard glass shattering. Will suddenly appeared in the sky, above the house and just as fast, came tumbling down onto the front lawn. He had both Holly and Casey clinging to him.

"Fuck!" Casey screamed. They hit the ground hard and two of the men appeared in the front door way, pointing their guns at the fallen trio and Zach.

"Run", Zach yelled and the other three took off. Before he could think what he was doing his raised both of his hands and as he did the droplets of rain began to freeze. Slowly at first but then quickened and once his arms stretched straight above his head the entire ground was frozen and lines of ice were sticking up into the air. Everything seemed to have stopped, if it was not for more rain pouring down and the shouts of the other men inside. The two men, at the front door, were stuck to the frozen grass, unable to move. Both were dumbfounded as to what had just happened and before either of them could figure it out Zach through his hands towards them the lines of frozen droplets flung towards them, shattering and knocking them out cold. Before any more could appear Zach ran down the driveway back to Casey's house.

Holly

"What the hell was that?" Zach asked as he came through the front door.

"Oh, I'd like to ask you the same question, how the hell did you make a miniature winter wonderland in a matter of seconds?" Casey retorted.

She ignored the conversation, not that she wasn't interested but because she couldn't help but hear a faint noise coming from the circular object she still held in her hand. It wasn't a noise as such but a feeling…of energy or something else. She found it hard to explain. It hadn't been doing this when we were in Corey's house but when the men had come, in the confusion she must have done something to set it off.

"It looks like a flower", Will pointed out.

"It is a flower, and it is mine so if you won't mind giving it back…" Holly and Will turned around to face a woman who was only about five foot, her dark brown hair was cut short and she stood there pointing a shining black sword straight at Will's neck. "Please" she added, with an almost pixie-like grin.
