I only have one more chapter prewritten, so I'll go with updates every other week. To Watcher321, I want to keep a few things vague at first, it's better for setting the mood. I just felt like some unnecessary pain/comedy (paimedy?) was necessary in this chapter since stuff is about to go down. Also, the rest of the team had armor and weapons except for Seto due to powers. Finally, there's a swear word fragment in this chapter and a broken nose with blood. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Sky's POV

We stopped running at least 50 blocks ago, which means there are only about 50 more. Good Notch, this is taking forever! At least we're still jogging.

"Are...we there...yet?" I manage to sputter out. Correction, I wish we weren't jogging.

"No." Seto replies. "And that's the third time you've asked in three minutes."

I speed up to be under Seto. "Well...excuse me but maybe...if I could...fly...like someone else...I know…..then maybe...this...would be...easier!" Seto looks down at me as I look up at him, he flies up slightly and looks away

"Oh shi-" SMACK! I looked forward and ran face first into a tree. I lay on the ground for a moment, completely disoriented after my encounter with the roughest bark ever. The rest of the team gathers around me.

"You are an idiot."

"Come on Sky, watch where you're going."

"Dude, are you okay?"

"I think you're gonna need some ice."

I swear at least another million questions or statements are said and then Seto and Jason fly down.

"Oh my Notch, Sky! I thought you saw the tree! I didn't mean for you to get hurt! Someone sit him up!"

As whoever sits me up (honestly, I don't know. The pain just kicked in though, so now everything hurts) touches my right shoulder, the part of me that hit hardest, I yipe. Upon further inspection, Ty and Jason sat me up against the tree I hit and now they're repeating 'sorry' and backed away about six inches.

"Is okay," I literally spit out as some mouth blood mixes with the nose blood.

"Okay, step back." Seto moves the now worried Ty and Jason aside and kneels in front of me. He goes into the bag he keeps around his waist (which I swear is endless, but that's another story for another time) and pulls out two potions that I recognize as potions of healing. Then, out of a pocket of his robe, he pulls out a handkerchief which he uses to gently clean my face.

"Let me know if it hurts."

"Ow."

"I haven't touched you yet."

"Evwythin hurs!"

"Fine, let me know if anything hurts significantly more and where while I wipe off the blood.

He wipes off most of the blood as I say 'ow' every now and then. He hands me a potion, I drink it and pull up the small screen on my sunglasses (which somehow didn't break) and check my health. Full hearts, good.

"I'm at full health now but can't breathe quite right." I sound nasally. Weird.

"Oh, um… This might hurt. A lot."

Uh oh. Seto reaches for my nose and there is a loud, distinct pop and quite a bit of pain as I guess he moved it back into place. About half of the Team thought that was utterly disgusting while the other part was unphased.

"Hang on." Seto shifts his hand and concentrates for, like, two seconds as where he was touching my face glowed purple.

He stands up and helps me up.

"So I fixed your nose and mouth and stopped the bleeding. Please watch where you're going, Sky, we have somewhere to be." He points at the light that was still there.

"Uh, yeah. Sorry about the whole tree thing… So, LET'S GO!"

Everyone else gives a battle cry of their own while Seto gives me that you're-such-an-idiot-but-still-my-friend smile and takes off above the trees with Jason as the rest of us run towards the light.

Just before we break into a clearing, Seto and Jason land in front of us. We all gasp rather loudly until Seto starts shushing us.

"Shhh, shhh, shhh. There's some sort of power in there, I can feel it, But the light is almost muffling it completely. So everyone, come here," we walk towards the edge of the clearing. "Do not cross this line until I deem it safe." He draws line in the grass using magic. "Stay here and don't move." He looks at me.

"What?"

"That includes you, Sky."

"Fine."

"Seriously though, whatever this is could kill us. Permanently." He walks towards the light.

Wow, I didn't think it was that serious. He could die. Forever. Suddenly I have new respect for Seto.

"Hey Seto." I call out just before he steps in. He turns around. "Good luck in there." The rest of the team say things similar to what I had said. Except for Ty, who said something like 'we believe in you, just don't die.' I send him a look and he shrugs. I turn around and smile as we wave Seto good bye.

"Thanks, guys." He waves back and disappears into the light.

Seto's POV

Sky calls to wish me good luck, as does the rest of the team, except for Ty who said something about belief and not dieing. I send him a bewildered look and see everyone else do the same thing. One by one they look away after Ty shrugs. I give one final wave, send my thanks, and step in.

I'm met with a rush of energy and power as I look around to see I'm in a blue cylinder. What was grass is the blue energy all around me. In the center of the energy field is a girl with dirty blond hair that touched her shoulders and bangs of about ten years floating in a meditative position two blocks above the ground wearing jeans, a t-shirt matching the color of the energy, blue glasses (darker than the shirt but not navy), sneakers, and a black cloak that looked like it was for an adult. I move to directly in front of her. My face drops and I gape.

"Is it…" She seems to be forcing herself to concentrate. "Is it really…" Her body tenses every time I speak. "It can't be." I touch her shoulder. Her slightly glowing blue eyes flash open and she falls out of her floating position and lands with her back on the ground.

"Ow… Wait. Oh no. I have to focus."

Her eyes had stopped glowing and I pull her up.

"Katie, Katie! It's me, Seto."

She looks into my eyes.

"S-Seto? But you're older now."

"It's been twenty years. I stopped aging at twenty."

"Twenty years… What about the rest?"

"I did as you said, they don't remember at all."

"Okay…"

The energy began to swirl around us.

"Oh no, I forgot. Seto, you need to step away from me."

"Why?" I stepped away.

"Because this energy was in me, controlled, but now it's out since it's been twenty years of build up. I'm going to have to absorb it all at once."

"But that could kill you!"

"Or it would kill half of the world and poison the rest. This is my choice."

She made a quick hand movement as the energy pulled my feet out from under me and swirled around her.

All opinions are welcome! By the way, I don't know why but for some reason I decided to end the first few chapters in cliff hangers... Please don't kill me!
