Meanwhile, Christy was lost in the woods, and was about to need more help than anyone could've guessed. Akito didn't give up and was still looking for Christy after True Heart Bear, Noble Heart Horse, and Felicity went back to Care-A-Lot. Soon enough, he found her, but could sense something coming.

"Where are those guys?" Christy sighed as she sat by herself. "Maybe they ran away without me. Oh, why can't I be good at anything except shooting marbles?" she then shot a marble from her fingers which flew in the air, hit a tree, a branch which loosened a leaf, and soon caught the marble back in her hand. "Marble Champ... So what? Oh, if only I could run, or swim, or do something to be the Camp Champ."

Akito soon saw something red in a tree. It seemed to smirk before jumping into the bushes.

"John? Dawn?!" Christy gasped as she heard rustling in the bushes.

"Hey, whatya know?" A boy with short red hair in a red track suit appeared with a smirk. "The Camp Champ."

Christy soon looked around to see if he meant someone else. "Me?"

"Yeah, sure, you are the Camp Champ, ain't you?" The boy smirked.

"No, I'm not." Christy replied, backing up slightly.

Akito soon knew that this boy must have been Dark Heart and decided to step in.

"Well, you sure could've fooled me." The boy said before climbing up on the tree.

"Who are you?" Christy asked.

"Well, I'm from the camp on the other side of the river," The boy smirked. "Say, you wouldn't wanna be the Camp Champ, would ya?"

"She's going to be Camp Champ on her own." Akito said as he came out.

"Akito?" Christy looked over to the boy.

"Back off!" Akito glared at the boy in red.

"Who's gonna make me?" The boy smirked. "You?"

"You better leave before I make you." Akito glared.

"Oh, but I'm going to help this girl with her problem," The boy smirked before looking to Christy. "Whatya say?"

"Well... I don't know..." Christy shrugged.

"There's only one catch though." The boy smirked.

"What's the catch?" Akito asked.

"It's no big deal," The boy smirked as he came down between Akito and Christy. "Sometime, I'll drop by and ask you to return the favor, and you just do it. No questions asked, whatya say?"

"I know who you are." Akito whispered to the boy with a glare.

"Smart little dickens, aren't we?" The boy smirked to Akito as he sat on the tree and crossed his legs while Christy thought about the offer.

Akito was sure Christy knew the right decision to make, but had a feeling she might not.

"Okay, you got a deal," Christy told the boy. "Now go ahead and make me Camp Champ."

"A favor now for a favor later," The boy smirked and snapped his fingers. "Done. Do a cartwheel."

"You expect her to do a cartwheel after you snapped your fingers?" Akito asked.

"Besides, I can't do a cart-" Christy tried.

"Just do it." The boy glared.

Christy soon gasped and tried to do a cartwheel, and she was very successful in doing so. "I did it! I did it!" she smiled to the boy before doing it again. "You were telling the truth!"

"How did you do that?" Akito asked the boy.

"I have my ways," The boy smirked. "Besides, cartwheels are nothing. Now Christy can race, swim, paddle..."

"I am going to be the Camp Champ!" Christy beamed out of excitement.

The boy soon grabbed Akito by his right arm. "Mind if I speak with him for a moment?" He smirked.

"That should be fine." Christy shrugged with no objections.

"Just remember, when I come back, you owe me a favor, and I will be back." The boy reminded Christy before leaving with Akito.

Once they were alone, the boy let go of Akito.

"So, what do you want with me, Dark Heart?" Akito glared.

"You are smart," The boy smirked. "I like that in someone your age."

"My father is a famous detective." Akito crossed his arms with a scoff.

"And who is this famous father of yours?" Dark Heart smirked.

"Atticus James Fudo." Akito said.

"Really now?" Dark Heart smirked. "What an interesting name."

"What do you want from me?" Akito glared impatiently.

"If you keep me being here a secret, I won't hurt you or your friends." Dark Heart smirked.

"You don't scare me," Akito narrowed his eyes. "Why don't you leave now before I send you to the moon myself?"

"Oh, really?" Dark Heart smirked before he snapped his fingers.

Akito glared until his blue eyes seemed to flash a red color.

"Now that's more like it." Dark Heart smirked.

"What shall I do for you?" Akito asked.

"You will now do as I say and go along with whatever I wish." Dark Heart replied.

"As you wish." Akito bowed.

"I know you'll defintely help me against those pesty Care Bears," Dark Heart grinned. "You even seem stronger than you look."

"I'm strong like my dad." Akito replied.

"Show me how much you can lift." Dark Heart smirked.

Akito soon went straight to a big tree and lifts it up.

"Impressive..." Dark Heart approved. "You would make an excellent general."

Akito soon placed the tree back in the ground.

"I think I'm gonna like ya, kid," Dark Heart smirked. "Keep Christy busy, I'll be back."

"Yes, sir." Akito saluted before going back toward Christy as Dawn, John, Felicity, Vincent, Estelle, and Kelly were coming back after babysitting in Care-A-Lot.

After he left Dark Heart, Akito's eyes went back to normal.

"Oh, Christy, you won't believe where we were!" Kelly beamed. "I can't wait to tell Barbie."

"We met these cute little baby cubs." Dawn smiled.

"And we took care of 'em!" John added.

"And we did a great job at it." Felicity said.

"Yeah, John and Dawn didn't mess it up." Vincent smiled proudly.

"Anyway, what we're all trying to say is that we don't have to win races to be champs," Estelle told Christy. "We're all friends here, and whenever we need help, the others will be there. Good friends are the real champs, so none of us have to run away anymore."

"Who's running away?" Christy replied. "Not me."

John and Dawn smiled to their friend at first.

"I plan on sticking around for a while." Christy smirked before flicking her marble them.

"You're giving us your marble?" Estelle frowned.

"I don't need it anymore," Christy smirked as she walked away. "I got more important things to worry about now."

"Akito, did something happen while we were away?" Estelle asked.

"Everything is fine," Akito told his twin sister. "Christy just needed a little pep talk."

"I think she got a little too much." Vincent said.

There was a strange sound heard as Akito walked away mysteriously.

"Did you hear something, Dawn?" John asked his sister.

"I don't think so... It's getting cold, John," Dawn replied as she hugged herself. "Let's go in."

"I think going inside sounds like a good idea." Kelly agreed with a shiver.

Felicity didn't feel that cold as she was born cold-blooded, but she agreed that they should go inside.

"Coming, Kito?" Estelle asked her twin brother.

A vulture seemed to nod to Akito.

"Yes." Akito nodded.

They soon went into their own cabins. Barbie and Ken soon split up for right now to go watch the kids in their cabins. Unknown to them, something big was happening. Felicity brushed her hair down while Kelly was calling her parents on the phone and Estelle stared out the window.

"Are you all right, Estelle?" Barbie asked.

"I'm fine, but something seems different about Akito..." Estelle replied. "I'm not sure what it is though."

"What do you mean?" Barbie asked.

"I'm not sure." Estelle said.

"Hmm... You wanna go see him?" Barbie asked. "You still got time before Light's Out."

"Thanks, Barbie, I think I will." Estelle smiled before hugging the teenage girl and going to see her twin brother.

Estelle was almost to her twin brother's cabin. Akito was seen alone, but when he looked around, his eyes seemed to be a hellish red just like Dark Heart's. Estelle gasped and ducked away, out of her twin brother's sight. Akito soon let out his two Pokemon. Estelle poked her head out as she checked on her brother.

Akito stared emotionlessly to his Pokemon, they looked happy to see him. "Go and see who is spying on me." He ordered.

The Pokemon nodded and then went out to carry out his demands. Akito nodded back to them.

"Gee, that felt evil..." Ponyta commented about how Akito sounded firm and serious.

"I know what you mean." Larvitar agreed.

Estelle hid away from the Pokemon as she watched her brother. Ponyta and Larvitar looked all around outside of the cabin.

"I don't see anything." Larvitar said.

"Me neither..." Ponyta replied before expanding the flames a little bit. "Maybe this'll help since it's getting dark."

"That works." Larvitar approved.

Estelle soon used her magic to try and teleport back her cabin. Luckily for her, she made it.

"Something smells like strawberries and roses." Ponyta commented.

"That sounds like Aunt Estelle's shampoo." Larvitar replied.

"I wonder why she was outside the cabin?" Ponyta wondered.

"Hmm..." The two Pokemon hummed to each other.

"That's not, Akito..." Estelle panted nervously. "It couldn't have been... His eyes were red and yucky." She then saw Dark Heart in his vulture form.

The vulture seemed to smirk at her.

Estelle covered the window with the curtains and shivered nervously. "What in Equestria is going on?" she muttered to herself before burying herself with her comforter.
