Fall's POV

They lead us into a hall wide enough to fit a Steelix and still have about 20 yards left. Henry and our little escort lead us off to the side as Ryex and Ash kneel before a blonde women wearing light pink topped robe with wait from chest down, and a jade green gem at the base of her neck.

"My queen." They say in complete unison.

"Rise my Knight and Guardian." The women says with a slight smile. I'm not quite sure which is the knight, but my cheeks still flush and my temper rises for a second. Drew flicks his hair next to me and winks at me, not helping my temper. A slight glow appears from behind my back and he tries to slip away. A guard intercepts him and puts him back in our group.

"Madam, these two have brought guests." Henry gestures for us to walk forward, and I'm the only one who does at first. A flinch from behind me tells me Drew messed up again, but when close enough to the queen I do my best imitation of a curtsy.

"Well, if it isn't miss Terra! Is your brother with you this time?" The queen asks me.

"Yes ma'am. He's..." I just realized Sky wasn't with us, and that could mean trouble.

"Ma'am!" A guard rushes in with something in his hands.

"Yes?" She replies.

"There's something outside, something-" He's cut off as a swirl of spacial energy rushes in, grabbing me.

"Help!" I scream as Ryex lunges for me and I'm pulled through while reaching for him.

Ryex's POV

I stand at attention with Ash as Fall talks to the queen. The instant the energy was in here I was thinking what to do. Then it grabbed Fall. I lunged for her but missed by a hair as she's pulled into the nothingness. The others try to hold me back, but once on grabbed Ash, we were all in. Me, Ash, May, Salad Head, and surprising enough Violet and Icee, hurtling through space. Invisible hands split us apart, one of them pulling me to a burning forest. I look around to see that it wasn't the forest burning, but a house. On a nearby tree there were three names, "Akaru, Shinaru, and Hurara." My ears tear up as I look around, recognizing it with amazing clarity. This was my house, and the names on the tree were those of me and my siblings.

"Help me... Akaru..." A women's voice falters and fades as I turn. There laying on the ground was a woman muttering my old name, clad in burning clothes. Her eyes were a dull grey, though they were normally a bright blue, and her hair was as red as my eyes.

"Mum? Is, is that you?" I say, but she acted like she couldn't hear me. I walk over and try to help her, but my arms phased through the wreckage covering her.

"She can't hear you." A male voice with a considerable amount of malice in it says.

"Where are you, why can't I help her?" I yell to the open air.

"Because that would mess with time. Now then, it's time for you to go to the lobby." A swirl under my feet pulls me into a large room with a low mummer around the low walled metal circle. I fall to my knees, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"Ryex!" A voice from somewhere to my right calls out. Soaking wet arms wrap themselves around my person as I stare sightlessly at the floor, feeling broken and empty. "Are you alright? Hey, talk to me." A wet hand forces me to look at the familiar face of the one I always cared for. I force my head away and stand up, as if I was programmed to do so.

"OK, what do you want now!" I yell up at the ceiling where there was a swirl of energy.

"Simple, revenge." The voice says before an eerie silence fills the room. I look to the nearest door, inspecting the lock.

"Everybody around door B-5 and near me, back off a tad." Everyone in the group does so as I reach into my mind, my outer eyes closed and my inner set wide open. 'PYRO!'

"What's up?" A man with hair literally made of flames says.

'Let's go.' He grins at that and jumps into the air, to a little mental seat giving him control till I override. 'Look, the goal is to get the lock off that door. Simple, right?'
