When K.O. woke up from his nap, he smelled something cooking. He noticed Grovyle was tied up carefully so that he wouldn't move from his spot. The rope was also carefully done so that it wouldn't damage him anymore than he already was, even if he tried to get out. He looked ticked off and had a gag in his mouth. K.O. looked around himself to see if he was tied up as well. Surprisingly he wasn't. But he did find a Dawn's little teddy bear watching them from the room's entrance. The bear was apparently the guard for them. K.O. smirked while shaking his head. He takes his time to untie his friend, making sure the gag comes out last. "So you tried to move huh?"

"I wanted to know what that smell was. I don't recognize it, and yet I know most of the recipes that the humans do." He mutters.

"For someone who normally doesn't get along with them, you sure do your homework on them. Hehe."

"Shut up."

"Anyway, I don't know either, but since you aren't dead, and I'm not tied up, that just means that the girls are trying to cook something. I better go see what before they cook us instead though." He chuckles as he heads to the main room.

Dawn and Mandy are sitting with sticks hanging over an open fire. "Then I think you want to turn this lightly and slowly so that the berries are cooked throughout the whole thing." Dawn was explaining to Mandy as she turned the stick. Mandy was writing all of this down on a small card.

"For someone with amnesia, you sure know what you're doing." Mandy chuckled, unaware that her master had said something similar just a minute ago.

"Yeah, well I'm not sure how I know this and not my real name, I mean, come on. I know plenty of things, but nothing about who I was or what happened to me, or who my family is, or even who my friends were. It's like I didn't exist before now." K.O. noticed his apprentice glance sadly to her right, and then fixed herself again before Dawn could notice.

"I'm sure you existed Dawn." Mandy's voice was no longer as hard as obsidian, now it was as soft as a little girl who was about to cry herself to sleep. "You must have."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." She smiled like the little girl she really was, then she noticed K.O. and Grovyle were awake. "I told you that we should've tied them both up." She giggled. "Oh well, its about done anyway. Roasted Oran Berries anyone?" she asked as she placed them on a stone slab that Mandy handed her. She ate one herself with the biggest smile you've ever seen on a child, as though she had gotten a big slice of chocolate cake.

Grovyle took a bite with no problem, while K.O. looked at it funny. "It's not bad, K.O. Actually, its pretty good for someone who has amnesia." He smirked to his little buddy, urging him to take a try.

K.O.'s face scrunched up as though he had just eaten a sour lemon after that first bite. "It's different, that's for sure."

Dawn smiled and said, "I think it tastes like this candy I liked. I think that they were called Skittles. I would eat all the flavors at once, and that's what this tastes like to me." Once again, her memory would tell her a fact that was anything but useful. Nonetheless, she smiled even more.

The four talked about what should be done next now that Grovyle was feeling better and they were fed. K.O. took a few minutes to go and get some herbs and other supplies from a human town just little bit a way. When he returned he found Dawn was the only one awake.

K.O. went towards her to check on her. She was shaking and scared of something. She held her teddy bear tightly and kept whispering something. "It was just a nightmare, just a nightmare… it's not real. He can't hurt them, he can't hurt them."

"Dawn?" She looked at K.O. with wide eyes, but only for a second before she had calmed down.

"Oh, K.O. I didn't notice you, I … what's up? I told them to get a little more sleep while we waited for ya." Her eyes were no longer watery, as though she was experienced in changing her mood fast.

"You should get some sleep too. We gotta go save the world don't we?" K.O. smirked.

"Yeah, let's go." Dawn just smiled and then hugged him like a giant teddy bear. "Let's go and save the world." She smiled as she slowly let him go. She then fell back to sleep on the cave's stone floor.

K.O. took the opportunity to check her wounds again and found that she had bandaged them up again with new bandages, but they weren't as good as the ones she had done for Grovyle. K.O. moved them a little to see the wound and was surprised to see that, even though it had stopped bleeding, it was definitely three of the biggest scars that he had ever seen. 'Oh man, Dawn…' He gently tightened the bandages and applied some more poultice so that they wouldn't get infected. He looked at the scars that would have normally killed a little girl her age, and even most adults, and shook his head. 'It has to be hurting more than she's letting on. Why doesn't she say anything about it? What is keeping her going so long?'

"You noticed too, didn't you." K.O. looked up to see Grovyle looking down at them. He was standing at full height and looked a hundred percent, all except for the scar next to his left eye. It too had stopped bleeding, but was in no way going to heal with such short rest. "Don't look at me like that. I can still see with this eye, just a little different, that's all."

"How different?"

"She's glowing gold, that's how different." He muttered under his breath.

K.O. raised an eyebrow. "Gold is one of her aura colors. As a senior guardian I can see aura's, especially hers." He glanced down at her again, noticing the swirling gold around her wounds as well as some of the other colors. "She has more than most humans, but I've seen people with more." Then he thought to himself, 'just not many that are so powerful.'

Grovyle looked at Dawn again and then to K.O. 'So I can see one of her aura colors. I wonder if I can use it to keep an eye on the kid. Oh great, a joke. Now I know I need help. I keep making cracks like that and I'm gonna end up as a clown.' Then he sighed. "Do you think that she'll be okay?"

K.O. blinked in surprise. His friend was actually concerned for a human, a little girl nonetheless. He smirked, "Grovyle, let me tell you again; she jumped off a chandelier, she swished a wooden sword like it was a version of one of your arms, she didn't scream out in pain when she was slashed, just a sharp gasp, and she didn't panic when Mandy brought us into a teleportation ring of fire. That girl is something else. I'm sure she'll be fine once she actually takes it into mind to rest and relax without worrying." He then looked at his apprentice who was starting to stir in her sleep. 'They both need to, but unfortunately this world will always bring about troubled sleep.'
