Axl and Macy fought back and forth. Macy swung at Axl, who dodged and attacked back. She jumped onto the roof of a stand, avoiding a hit. Then Axl swung again, hitting her and sending her flying. Macy flew high into the air, her mace landing beside Axl. She hit the wall of a building, her armour getting caught as she slid down. She hung in the air, about five feet above the ground.

"I think we've seen enough," Ava said.

Everything disappeared around them, and Macy fell to the ground. She landed on her back, moaning.

"You alright?" Axl asked.

He lifted her up, setting her on her feet. Macy dusted herself off, picking up her mace.

"I'm fine," she said.

"What's with you lately?" Clay asked, walking into the room. "You don't seem like yourself."

"I'm just," Macy paused. "I'm worried about Aaron."

"We all are, Macy," Lance said.

"I'm sure we'll find him and get him back," Clay told them. "But remember we still have to try to stop Jestro and the Book of Monsters from getting the other evil books."

"I know," Macy sighed.

"We've got to be on our A game," Clay said, telling everyone. "We're down a knight, and Jestro has the advantage right now."

"Speaking of which," Merlock said.

Everyone jumped, turning to see his face on a wall.

"Jestro is attacking yet again," Merlock told them.

"That guy never takes a break," Lance groaned.

"But look," Merlock said.

The screen changed from Merlock's face to Jestro and the book laughing. Fires and monsters were in the background. Then they saw it. Aaron stood behind them, chained and being held back by two taller monsters. There was a group of monsters, taunting him, attacking him.

"Those…." Clay growled, unsure of what to call them.

"We'll be arriving at their location shortly," Merlock said, reappearing on the screen. "Be ready to fight. We might not have much time before they escape with Aaron again."

"Alright Merlock," Clay said.

"Let's kick some bad guy butt," Macy said.

Aaron pulled on the chains, trying to free himself. He wanted to help, everyone was running, screaming, as monsters chased after them. Then there was the small group in front of him. They were jumping at him. Attacking him. He couldn't even defend himself anymore.

"Do you really think they won't show up?" Jestro asked.

"Of course they won't," the Book of Monsters snapped. "They'd be too afraid to with their friend held hostage."

"That's not true!" Aaron said. "They won't stop. They'll defend the people no matter what the situation."

"Shut it," the Book of Monsters snapped at Aaron.

"No," Aaron replied, a smirk on his face.

"Do it," the Book of Monsters said to the monsters holding the chains.

They pulled hard on the chains, causing Aaron to cry in pain. They loosened and he fell to his knees, unable to move his arms from them holding the chains around his wrists.

"Now quiet, knight," the Book of Monsters snapped.

"You don't scare me," Aaron replied.

The Book of Monsters glared.

"Um…" Jestro said, looking the other way.

"What now!" the Book snapped.

He looked as the Fortrex rolled in. Clay, Macy, Axl and Lance rushed out, starting to take out the monsters. Aaron laughed in victory while the Book of Monsters growled

"Take him back to the Evil mobile," he ordered. "Don't let the knights get him back."

Aaron was pulled backwards, his feet dragging in the sand. The others disappeared from Aaron's sight, but he still heard everyone fighting. He struggled, trying to go back, to escape them. Then he was airborne. He flew into the cell, his chains off his wrists. The door swung shut and Aaron ran to it.

"Let me out of here!" Aaron said.

"Sorry, can't do that," the monster replied.

Aaron looked back to the battle, seeing the monsters being returned to the Book. Then he saw Macy running towards him. He lit up, seeing her coming.

"Get her!" he heard Jestro shout.

"Macy! Watch out!" Aaron cried.

Macy spun around, taking a fighting stance. She started taking out monsters left and right, then Clay joined her.

"Aaron," Macy said.

She spun around, looking to the archer trapped in the cell, watching.

"Go, I got everything here," Clay told her.

Macy nodded, dashing towards the Evil mobile. She easily took out the two monsters guarding Aaron and ran to him.

"It's so good to see you," Aaron smiled.

"Are you alright?" Macy asked.

"Yeah," Aaron said. "A couple scratches, but that's all."

"Where's your armour?" Macy asked.

"I have no clue," Aaron sighed. "Did you guys get my helmet and shield?"

"Yeah," Macy nodded. "Come on, let's get out out of there."

"Jestro has the key," Aaron sighed. "It's not going to work."

Macy looked at Aaron, worried.

"Look, I'm fine," Aaron told her. "Go help the others and worry about protecting the people."

"But Aaron," Macy started to argue.

Macy spun around when Clay cried out. Clay was flung into a building, landing with a thump as the monsters surrounded him.

"Go, Macy!" Aaron cried.

Macy bolted for Clay, reaching him just in time. Clay jumped to his feet.

"Thanks, Macy," Clay said. "But what about Aaron."

"Jestro has the only key to break him out," Macy told Clay as they fought.

"Well, we need to get it before-" Clay was cut off by a loud cry.

"Retreat!"

They spun around as the Book of Monsters and Jestro ran towards the evil mobile. Any remaining monsters ran after them.

"No, they're getting away!" Macy cried.

Clay grabbed her arm as she was about to chase after them.

"There's no point, Macy," Clay told her. "You won't catch them."

Macy sighed as Lance and Axl joined them.

"They got away with Aaron," Lance said.

"This isn't good," Axl commented.

Macy turned and stormed towards the Fortrex, pushing past the other knights.

"What's with her?" Lance asked.

"I stopped her from chasing after them," Clay sighed. "I didn't see the point. We might have lost her too, and that would have been bad."

"Your right," Lance said. "She's the princess and who know's what they could do with her in their clutches."

"I wish she would see that," Clay sighed.

"I'm sure she'll be fine," Lance said. "She's just going to be upset with Aaron gone. I mean, we're all feeling out of it. Aaron's our man in the sky, and it's a little trickier to fight without him."

"We all have to adjust," Axl said. "Macy's just taking it hard."

"Yeah," Clay said. "I know. I just hope she realizes that actions have consequences."
