Aaron smirked at a very irritated Whiparella. She had been trying for hours to find his fear, but failing miserably everytime. Eventually, Whiparella stormed off in rage, giving up for the time being. Aaron sighed, finally able to relax somewhat. Aaron was tied between two trees, making it so he only could move about five feet in each direction. He watched the monsters working, a couple keeping their eyes on him as they worked. He looked and saw Whiparella storming his way with Jestro and the Book of Monsters.

"He won't give in," Whiparella said. "He doesn't have a fear!"

"Everyone has a fear," the Book of Monsters said. "You just need to look harder."

"I'm trying as hard as I can!" Whiparella exclaimed.

"The knights!" a monster cried.

They all turned and saw two monsters caring someone between them. Even with a bag over her head, Aaron knew who it was.

"Where are the others?" the Book asked.

"We only found her," a monster said.

Clearly the Book of Monsters wasn't impressed.

"Type him up and put them both in the evil mobile," he said. "Then, we're going to have a nice let the chat with the king."

Aarons hands and legs were tied together and he was tossed into the cell with Macy. She looked down, ashamed.

"You shouldn't have come," Aaron told her.

"I know," she replied quietly. "It's just that the others weren't doing anything to find you. I needed to do something."

"That something should have been to stay at the Fortrex and help them," Aaron said.

Macy looked down, embarrassed. Aaron sighed.

"You know what they can do," Aaron said. "Now that you're here, right?"

Macy nodded.

"They are going straight to the castle," Macy said. "To trick my parents into surrendering."

"We have to get a message to the others," Aaron said. "And hope that they can get to the castle before us."

"Is she alright?" King Halbert asked.

"She will be," Clay said. "Where she is, Aaron is most likely with her now."

"Why would you say that?" Lance asked him.

"Because," Ava said, walking to join them. She tapped on her I pad, then showed everyone. "Jestro is heading straight here. With Macy disappearance and Aaron already being captured, it's the most likely reason they would be coming."

"How do you know Macy isn't wandering the forest, lost?" Lance asked.

"We found her shield and armour in the forest," Ava sighed. "Tee minus ten minutes until they arrive here."

"Mornington, what a surprise to see you here," said Principal Brickland. "I heard you needed help?"

"Yes," Clay replied.

"Good, I have the top two classes at the Academy ready for action," he replied. "What would you like?"

"Can you set the around the castle entrance?" Clay asked.

Principal Brickland nodded, then called orders to the kids. A group of over twenty kids ran past the knights and took a post at the castle's entrance way.

"I'll watch them, you watch the King and Queen," he told Clay.

Clay nodded as he walked to join the students. Clay turned to Lance and Axl, along with the King and Queen.

"I can see them coming," Robin said, walking out of the Fortrex.

He tossed the knights their shields and weapons. They took a fighting position around the King and Queen. Lance and Axl on each side with Clay standing in the middle. The evil mobile rolled up, stopping a distance away from the castle.

"Those meddling knight beat us here," Jestro said.

"Doesn't matter," the Book of Monsters said. "We can do this either way."

Clay stepped forward, seeing Aaron locked behind the bars in the lower part of the evil mobile. Only problem, Macy was nowhere to be seen.

"Looking for someone," the Book of Monsters called out.

Clay glanced up to see Macy up with him, Jestro and, being held back by Jestro, Macy. Clay looked at Macy, seeing her struggling. Her hands were clearly tied together, along with the gag over her mouth.

"Hand her over, Jestro," Clay called.

"It's not that easy," the Book of Monsters said. "We want something in return."

Clay turned to Lance, then Axl, who both nodded.

"Alright, but we get both Macy and Aaron back," Clay said.

"If that's the case," the Book of Monsters said, "then we'll change the arrangements."

Clay cocked his head, waiting for them to continue.

"There is a snow globe in the castle's library," the Book of Monsters said. "We want that to start."

"I'll go get it," Queen Halbert said.

She turned and went inside. A couple minutes later, she returned with it. She handed it to Clay, who took it and looked up to the Book of Monsters.

"Alright, hand them over," Clay said. "And you can have it."

The Book of Monsters told Jestro to let Macy go.

"Let the archer out," he called to the monsters.

Aaron watched the monsters around him as he stepped out. He caught Macy, who was tossed down to him. He set her down, letting her walk beside him. Clay walked up to them as Jestro and the Book of Monsters joined them. Jestro took the globe as Macy and Aaron watched. Then they ran to the others, away from the monsters. Macy was swarmed by her mother and father, who were happy that she was safe. Clay turned, seeing Macy and Aaron back with the group. He was about the walk and join them when a monster grabbed his arm.

"Clay!" Aaron cried.

Everyone spun around, seeing Clay stuck in the Monster's grasp.

"Let go of me!" Clay cried, trying to pull free.

Everyone watched in horror as Clay struggled to get out of the monster's grasp.

"Nexo Knights!" someone called.

They all turned to Aaron, who tossed Macy her armour, mace and shield.

"Merlock! Nexo Knight!" he shouted.

All their shields went up into the air, downloading a Nexo Scan. Clay yelped as he was thrown into the cell. He ran to the bars, watching the other Knights fight their way towards him with the Nexo Powers.

"Hold on, Clay!" Macy cried.

"We're coming!" Lance added.

"We need to go!" Clay heard the Book of Monsters call from above him.

Clay lurched forwards, the Evil Mobile starting to roll away. He turned, seeing Macy running at him.

"No!" she cried.

Clay watched the snow globe land at her feet as she stopped, getting further away from him. Here he was, in the same position he was trying to get Macy and Aaron out of. It was a trap, and he fell for it.

"No," Macy collapsed to her knees as the other knights, Ava and Robin gathered around her. "They got away with Clay."

"We'll get him back, Macy," Lance said. "We got you and Aaron back, what's the difference?"

"That we lost him to get us back!" Macy shouted at him. "If I never left, he would probably still be with us."

"Don't think like that," Axl said.

Macy didn't respond.

"They'll be back," Aaron said, staring off into the distance.

Everyone turned to him. He looked down at the snow globe in his hands, and Macy gasped.

"They dropped the snow globe," she said.

"I know how we can get Clay back," Aaron smirked. "I know the perfect way, we just need to find them."
