"Thanks Silvia, Jack. I owe you." Thea said softly as they both healed her and cured her from her stone state. Thank goodness for that. Although since Silvia could cure her from the Mouse Kings magic, could she have just healed her from the shrinking magic. Was Silvia the key to making them big again? Perhaps that was the key, but not now. Right now they were being attacked. They needed to do something. Thea threw fire in the shape of arrows at the mouse king. Of they defeated him then Silvia would be safe to try to make them big again.

Thea used fire


Silvia, seeing as she had now healed those who needed it most, didn't know what she wanted to do next. However as she looked around she noticed Jack laying on the ground. Damn it she wasn't there to help soon enough. Silvia ran over to Jacks side and began to heal. "It will be okay, I promise." She said as she continued to pour her magic into him hoping he would be back on his feet and fighting so she didn't have to. She didn't like fighting after all and wanted to avoid it. But that didn't mean she wanted others to get hurt so she could simply heal.

Thomas pushed himself off the place he sat, his gun cleaner than ever now. He didn't say a word as Aidan handed the staff to Annika and Annika turned her sister back. However seeing who pretty her sister also was he spoke up. "Now that we have got this staff I say that we go kick some Wenlock ass so I can show both these lovely ladies what I am really made of. I have been not taking things so serious thus far, saving the grand finale for last." He stated as he offered both the girls his arms then turned to Aidan and stuck out his tongue in a way to say, "I'm about to get laid and your not."​

As Lucas left Isabella continued to dance around attaching the last few wires and flipping on all their equipment. The heart monitor, the brain wave monitor, temperature to make sure it didn't raise too much more. She didn't want him dying on them, then they needed to find a new test subject and that would be a real pain. She ensured that all the stands for the drip bags were in position and round one that would help bring down the fever he was working up, hooking it up to one of the IV's. "There we are, all ready until we decide what to test today." She said in a jovial voice.​

​

It was about then that India approached them. It seemed that he had an experiment to run himself. She had been hogging the boy quite a lot the past three weeks, she supposed that she could share. India had insured her that he wouldn't injure the boy today, and she trusted him with that, apparently he was just going to cause hallucinations. Isabella's brow furrowed and her mouth moved from side to side as she thought. She soon walked over to a small fridge and grabbed out another IV bag out of it and soon hooked it up. "A paralysis I made myself. Prevent him from getting too worked up he can't hurt himself. Don't worry it won't effect his mind." Isabella looked at India as she forced Colton to lay down and started the IV so it was soon working into his system, but keeping the boy very much awake. She also added a face mask to control his breathing. With his coughing fits and symptoms she figured the more they worked him the harder he would be finding it to breath is it was probably the best for his health. The brain wave and heart rate chart should help measure how he dealt with stress, and no one else besides her could see what was actually going on in his mind. However as India injected Colton a part of her felt like it was none of her business to what was going on here. "I am going to go get a coffee. Tell me when you are done. I want to see if I can make him a bit better before he can you know, die on us accidentally. I haven't had enough time to work with him yet." Isabella explained before skipping away.​

​

After pouring a single cup of coffee Isabella made her way back to the lab in which Colton was contained. It always amazed her. She was never much for artificial intelligences and studying robotic type stuff but looking at it was fascinating. She soon found Lyle and tapped on his shoulder. "Whats up doc?" Isabella asked as she turned herself into an image of Bugs Bunny eating a carrot with her illusion magic. "India is working with our subject. Is there anything I can help with here? I know heaps of stuff and will do whatever you request. Just let me help, please! I'm bored!!" Isabella began to ask, talking rather quickly... perhaps this being her sixth cup of coffee might have been too much considering how early it was still.

Fear was apparent in Colton's eyes as India approached him talking about hallucinations and wondering how he dealt with stress. The needle came closer and Colton got increasingly more uncomfortable. He heard his heart rate raising as it come closed and the needle broke his skin. As it was removed Isabella hooked up another IV and laid him back putting on a face mask. Colton let out another coughing fit before the hallucinations began to take over his mind.​

​

The science lab that was around him grew darker, as he looked around it seemed there were eyes everywhere, watching him, waiting to take him again, to kill him. They were all eyes of evil men. No they couldn't have him. "Stay away from me!" He yelled as he used his powers to pick up pebbles and use his telekinetic bullets to throw them into the darkness at high speeds, trying to hit they eyes, but they eyes kept moving. In the lab however Colton had not picked anything up due to the fact that what he thought he was picking up was nothing more than a figment of his imagination as was him using his powers. In this deep of a hallucination his mind created a wall between what he did in reality and in his mind. The powers he would use, lucky for everyone did not actually happen.​

​

Colton continued to stumble around in the Illusion throwing things at the eyes but they soon faded to him finding himself on the edge of a cliff. He looked down and started to back away. As he did he felt an urge to go forward but he didn't, instead the ground disappeared from under him and he was falling, falling to his death. Panic was written across his face and the heart rate monitor. Some part of his subconscious knew this was just a hallucination, however it felt so real that that part of him was lost. He looked down to see murky water bellow him. However this scene soon changed too.​

​

He was now standing once more watching a thunderstorm... he hated those things. They were always too loud and the thunderclap reminded him of the gun shot that echoed through the alleyway as he ran for his life when he was ten. He couldn't prevent himself from shaking and the hallucination switched between that and memories. The quick flash of lightning were filled with his memories of that night. In front of him one of the storm clouds started to form a monster, a beast that was heading towards him. It no longer seemed to be made out of just clouds, but something more solid. Colton stumbled back in fear as he looked upon the thing. Any object her could find was being thrown through the air as a telekinetic bullet. He tired to run but he couldn't. Looking down his feet were lead. Sweat dripped down his face as his heart rate raised even higher than before. Though in his mind he couldn't so much tell he was coughing, he lay on the table having a coughing fit. He could hardly breath because of it, and this only made the panic worse. He couldn't tell what was real or not anymore. "Uncle Errol! Anyone! Help me!" He shouted out still staring down the monster.

Jason was staring Tobias down when he was grabbed by two men in their late twenties. It took both of them to pull him off and keep him away. Once away from Tobias Jason took a few deep breaths to try to calm himself down, not worry about it. Tobias was not serious, he never was, and Cynthia could handle herself so he shouldn't have to worry. However this attitude changed once again as Tobias mad another comment that made Jason fume again and pull against the two young men once again. "Keep your damn trap shut!" He shouted.

Soon enough Tobias walked away to Cynthia, if she was going to kill him he was not going to stop it. The two men let Jason go and went about their business. Jason turned around and left the room. He was not dealing with that boy any more right now. He needed to find someone to watch those two or at the very least get them off the mission. Jason walked up the hall and to Benjamin's office hoping he would be in there. Knocking on the door he waited to see if he would be let in.

A scythe swung stopping mere centimeters before Tobias' throat. "Ballsy, for that I won't kill you. However I recommend you don't push daddy so hard next time. He will kill you." Cynthia responded sounding pretty friendly. However her face quickly turned deadly serious. "But ever say anything like that to me again and your head will be rolling on this floor. I am not scared to make it happen and you know it. So don't you dare test me." She scowled slowly lowering her scythe. "I need a coffee before we start today, that is IF we get any work done. But you have been slacking so much lately I doubt it will happen. Why the hell are you even still on this case. If you are not going to help leave me the hell alone." Cynthia said once again before walking towards the door of Raven Sun.​

Alisia laid on the ground not saying anything. She simply watched as Dane paced around her not even trying to stop her entire body from shaking. She didn't know what she was supposed to do anymore. Not try to escape again, no that was a stupid idea, not worth her trouble. Did she mindlessly help him or refuse. Should she even hold onto the hope of being saved? Probably not. What were the chances of them finding her now? She didn't even know where she was. Tears filled her eyes while, despite the ache from the cut in her back, she curled into a smaller ball.

Dane approached he and began talking about her fighting. She couldn't fight, she couldn't protect anyone. However he was convinced she could with a little help. Alisia only stared at Dane as he asked then assumed that it was okay to inject her with darkness or some crap like that. She looked away soon after just looking at the ground, showing her submission to him in every way. There was no more fighting, she didn't' have the strength to fight anymore.

At fist Alisia didn't think it would be that bad as he put his hands on her back, that thought only lasted half a second before he started injecting darkness into her wound causing her to scream out in pain. Tears ran down her face as she lay on the ground, back arched in screaming in pain. It lasted less than a minute then Dane stepped back and the pain faded almost immediately leaving her panting for air with a loss of breath. This left the young girl dazed as she looked up at Dane. She was surprised at how quick the pain had faded from her, relieved and Dane seemed to be done, so that was good, but fear remained. "What did you just do to me." She whispered in a raspy voice. Her throat ached from the screaming and it was all the voice that she could muster at the moment.

Xander watched Caleb as the table broke under his fist and listened to all the words that he had to say. He understood where Caleb was coming from. He had seen first hand, twice now what the man could do when he was not stopped and yet they couldn't stop him. He felt useless for allowing Dane to get away with the one person he wished to truly and fully protect. Not only did he take her away but she was also in such bad shape before. He couldn't imagine what else Dane might do o her. And yet Caleb's words were concerning to him.

"Don't allow your rage to make you into the bad guy." Xander started as he walked forward and placed a hand on Caleb's shoulder. "Don't let the anger drive you. We will bring him to justice. Put an end to him so he doesn't hurt anyone else but don't blur the line between justice and outright revenge. Know the limit before you push yourself to far. And remember you have to look after your daughter and set a good example for her. Do not become the enemy here." Xander said making his voice seem more calm than he really was. The truth was he was angry and upset and wanted to murder Dane as well but he would keep a cool face on, take him out when the time came in a calm matter so he didn't slip up and get someone else hurt. For now part of him was Glad the Dane was away from everyone else. He wanted Alisia alive for his own personal use, the rest of them were expendable. So the further the difference the safer everyone else was. There was so many young people here, if any one of them died to the hands of Dane...No he would keep them all safe.​

"Hello... Hello? Wakey wakey eggs and bakey. Are you ready for for another fun day of experiments?" Isabella said as she poked her head into where Colton was being kept. Lukey had actually set it up with one of the other scientists in the same building as her to lock him up when the boy wasn't needed. It turned out they weren't the only ones doing illegal human experimenting, this man was doing it longer than they... unless you count the experiments on her, but she gave them consent so that didn't count.


Colton stirred from the deep sleep he was in while laying on the floor of the place that had become his prison. They boy was a wreck, with numerous stitches and healing wounds from all the experiments. His eyes where bloodshot, his skin ghostly pale. It had only been three weeks but he had lost a good amount of weight in that time. Though he was never ill treated to the point that he might die... no they needed him alive for their sick experiments. As he tried to push himself off the a sharp pain coursed through his arm and he collapsed back to the ground. His arm had not been operated on or properly set, simply bandaged making things a lot more difficult to deal with. Though that was the least of his worries given the condition he was in at the moment.

As Colton tried to get up once again he got to sitting and let out a coughing fit. He had fallen ill the past weak and it had only been getting worse. He was having trouble breathing at times and it was starting to hurt to cough. His chest burned. As he coughed his eyes began to water, and those watery eyes are what was used to study Isabella, one of his captors. They were all insane though, everyone of them. What they did to him was inhumane and there was four of them each with their own experiments they wanted to run. At this point he was convinced that they had given up Errol and anyone else who at the beginning gave a crap to find him had given up. Who would spend three weeks trying to find him? He wasn't worth it and he knew it. There was nothing he could do about it anymore.

"Ha atta boy. Come on we have to get you to my lab." Isabella said as she switched out chains that bound him to ones she could use to lead him away. "Lyle I am taking the test subject to my lab now, you can have him back later today. This afternoon perhaps." She shouted hoping the other scientist, the one that allowed them to keep Colton there would hear her as she left towards her own lab. "You know you are a very interesting boy, the mental capacity and possibility for your powers is so great but your body.... you got sick unnaturally fast. Your immune system is so weak, like a babies. But you are not a baby you are a teenage male, you should have a good immune system. And on top of that Osteogenesis Imperfecta that is unusual and incredible and poor you at the same time. It is so fascinating to study." Isabella went on talking to Colton as she lead him to her lab and made him take a seat on the medical table.

From there Isabella began to dance around her lab to a silent song collecting her tools and such she would need for today's experiments. These preparations included a small jar that contain a small pink substance suspended in a clear liquid. Other tools included many wires and such that would be used to monitor his mind, heart, and such and give electric shocks when needed. As she did this Colton had another coughing fit. She turned to India and (MoK's) Lucas. "Um guys.... if you need to do more experiments on our subject that is fine but you might want to take it easy on him. I mean he seems worse than yesterday and that immune system of his, doesn't take well to anything." She stated simply before turning back to Colton swirling around the pink thing in the liquid.

Colton looked closely at the substance that Isabella was swirling around in front of him. "What is that?" Colton asked in a tired, raspy voice before beginning to cough once more. He felt like crap and although Isabella told the others to take it easy on him, he knew that didn't mean they would leave him completely alone at all. Perhaps another surgical thing where he was put to sleep, that would seem to be what they thought of as taking it easy on him.

"Silly it is a small sample of your brain. You'd think you would recognize your own brain. I mean at the level it seems to function you should be smart enough to know what a brain looks like." Isabella explained as she put the vile down and began to put in different IV's. One in each wrist and one in each hand. After that came the wires to monitor and such. They did more it was just all she needed for now. However she got distracted from her work by over hearing Lukey. She looked over at him in time for him to explain it wasn't a date. "Sure its not. You don't need to hide anything from me Lukey. But whatever I have my own date... with science!" She said using her illusion magic to make her look like an animated vile of green chemicals kissing a test tube.


Cynthia lounged on the couch as she ate her breakfast. The investigation was not going far very fast. They were kind of at a stand still to be honest. No good lead in a couple weeks and she was getting impatient. She wanted to find the man and kill him already. The thought crossed her mind to ask Kye what she knew, however that would be admitting defeat and she refused to do that. She couldn't admit defeat, she wasn't that kind of person.

"What are you thinking about?" Jason asked as he walked up behind his daughter who seemed to be staring into space. "Working with someone else proven to be too much for you? I am impressed he isn't dead at least yet." Jason stated half joking but more serious than anything. He knew Cynthia hated working with people and the two people working together would easily kill each other if it wasn't for his threat. If only she had taken a less important mission. One that he didn't have to worry all the time. He still hadn't found anyone to watch over the two of them.

"I am fine father. mission is just a bit slow is all."

"Really now. Perhaps you should take on a different one. You know put on a good face for the organization for once."

"No." Was all Cynthia responded before Tobias appeared jumping over the couch asking about her number. "Try never." She responded to him before he stood up and face her father. This would be interesting. It didn't take long of Tobias talking before a death glare appeared on her face as she wanted to murder the boy however she couldn't due to her father being right there. It did seem like he had the same idea though.

As Tobias spoke Jason became increasingly more pissed off at the boy. He was sure it wasn't true, he knew his daughter too well for that but it still pissed him off. Soon after the boy stopped talking he found a hand around his neck. Jason pushed him into a wall holding his fist up near Tobias' face.

"That's okay I can make my own sandwiches. She doesn't have to do all of the work. I will be a great husband!"

The wall beside Tobias cracked as Jason's fist connected with it. He had said one too many things and gone too far. He true or not he didn't like how the boy was talking about Cynthia, the one thing that was precious to him. He knew she could handle the boy herself but he didn't want to leave it in her hands. This time he would protect her, not those who she was trying to kill out of anger.
​

"When the time comes I will, for now leave me alone." He responded not looking up from his gun that he was polishing. He heard Lucia's other comment about him. Was that all that they thought about him? They really knew nothing about him at all, however that was okay. They didn't need to know the truth behind why he was upset, they could believe what they wanted, it didn't matter to him. No one needed to know about his mother, his past, and what was inevitably to happen to him in the future.


As Silvia was trying to help the nutcracker and Beucette she was being yelled at to stay back. Silvia's arms were already sore from trying to hold up0 Ego as it was. Turning back to see the mouse king about attack them Silvia reluctantly obliged to the command of the nutcracker. "I'll come back and save you. I promise!" Silvia told both Beucette and the nutcracker. She cast a healing spell on both of them to try to help them out before turning around looking at the mouse king who seemed ready to attack them. She couldn't let anyone else get hurt and they had to end this fast to save the nutcracker. Silvia stood behind the mouse king as she cast Aero on him. "I can't let you hurt any more of my friends." Silvia said quietly as she looked behind her at Beucette and the nutcracker.

Silvia used Aero


The mouse king didn't seem too happy about her throwing a fireball at him. He turned back to her and attacked, or tried to at least. That covered her head as she let out a shriek bracing herself for the power that was about to come. However instead Clara's voice spoke out and the mouse king left her for the time being. However this would start a battle. At the very least she hadn't been turned to stone. Thea straightened up as she was not under attack anymore. However she would not let the Mouse King off easy. "Fire!" She shouted out as she threw another fire ball at him, jumping in the air as she flung it. "You will let them go!" She added on.

Thea used Fire​

As the tire blew out, the steering wheel yanked left and her entire body followed with it. While this happened a pebble traveling at high speeds just barely missed her head. "Now THAT was close. But what a rush? I have never felt such adrenaline. Woo hoo!" Isabella cried out having fun. However this didn't last long as Lukey was rude and grabbed the wheel from her. "Rude, if you wanted to drive so bad just say so!" Isabella crossed her arms and used that moment to create an illusion of the car being fine and driving away without a problem.

She took the wheel back starting to gain control again over the car. Meanwhile Lukey took some of her bombs to use against the people trying to stop them. Yay she was being helpful. However once their friends were taken care of Lukey grabbed the wheel again and pushed her out of the way. Isabella moved out of the way with a sigh. "Men." She huffed. She should be used to them by now considering she worked with two of them all the time, now you could consider it three since it seemed that Lukey would be hanging around.

Moving into the back seat beside the boy she watched him n all his moody glory. He was a wonder, and those weak bones of his, something else fun to look into more than just looking into his powers. She marveled at the specimen a bit but he seemed uncomfortable and it was getting late. "Perhaps I should help you fall asleep, less of a fuss for later. I mean we can't just let you walk around on your own and escape can we? I mean if you get too riled up Lukey might have to hurt you and we don't want that do we?" Isabella searched through her bag till she found a syringe. She filled it with a clear liquid and soon injected it into Colton and watched him as he faded to sleep. "Lukey you do have somewhere to keep him right? I mean my labs don't have a holding cell or anything. Assuming you do I want him at my labs bright and early. I know it has been a long night but time doesn't wait for science!" Isabella exclaimed knowing that they had time for nothing else that night, as soon as they got back to Vegas it was bed time.

Colton felt the jolt as the tire blew out and Errol did his best to stop the car. It wasn't working, there was no saving him. "Errol, please don't leave me. Please save me. I don't know what they want with me." Colton begged in his mind figuring that Errol was still listening. However no matter how much panic he was feeling he kept a straight face. He wouldn't let them win by showing his fear, but he was open with Errol about it, because he was the only one he could be open about it with. Colton really didn't have friends or people he trusted but he owed Errol his life so there was something there, connection, a weak one but one none the less. Some part of him through of him as a father but at the same time he didn't want to think of him as a father due to the view he had of parents now. So Uncle, Uncle Errol did just fine, though he rarely admitted it.

He had almost gotten his handcuffs undone when Isabella ratted him out and Lucas came to stop him. He pointed his gun at him causing Colton to stop what he was doing. The handcuffs he was wearing was removed but he knew that he was not going to let him go without handcuffs, he had something else up his sleeve. As Lucas reached down Colton focused on what was on the floor and started to move it around slightly. While he did this he continued trying to manipulate the lock on the door, but his progress was slow due to trying to focus on two things at once, he was not good at that. It didn't take long for Lucas to clue in to what he was doing. Soon the pistol made contact with the side of Coltons face. He lifted his hand to to his face but let out a sharp cry of pain as he lifted the arm that was broken. Colton gritted his teeth as he tried to ignore the pain and retain a straight face. As the new handcuffs were put on he felt a weakness. He tried to unlock the handcuffs but nothing was working. He tried something easier and tried to simply move something and even that didn't work. He couldn't use any of his powers. what happened?

With his powers nullified Lucas took the wheel once again and the girl Isabella climbed into the back. She leaned in uncomfortably close as she looked him over. He could tell the wheels in her mind were turning. He did his best to try to move himself away from her without hurting his arm more. As he did so she started talking about making him fall asleep. "Don't touch me you freak!" He called out as she found the needle and inserted it into him. "What are you doing to me?" He asked as his eyes felt heavy. The drug was taking effect far quicker than normal. He couldn't fight off or resist any of it. His body was not strong enough, meaning the dosage was far higher than he needed. Soon enough he slipped into darkness not knowing what was going to happen.


Cynthia only sat in silence while Tobias went to do his thing. She doubted he would be successful and the first time he wasn't. He was the second time though. Lucky for her he already had a number written out and it was not her own. He would never get her number, not in his wildest dreams. The number she had ready for him was one of a man that may have some information for them on the investigation of the silent killer. As Tobias returned asking for her number she handed him that. "Here you are. Have fun. Time to head back to base. We will continue this tomorrow." She told him.

Back at Raven Sun Cynthia didn't spend much time talking or even listening to other people as she often did. She liked knowing what was going on but she had her own methods of finding out. She didn't even stop to say hello to her father like she often did, though she knew that he would want her to debrief. She didn't care she was tired and sick of with Tobias. It was pretty much straight to her room and sleep for her. She would continue her investigation tomorrow.

​

Freya felt a little embarrassed when Zavion just blatantly said he noticed. She knew that he was able to see her heart and what was going on in it. But she didn't know exactly what he saw since she herself was having a hard time telling how she really felt right now. He said nothing else on the subject and moved on to something else. Nutjobs attacking people, great. Nothing like that happened that she saw yet. That was when he picked up on the again. Freya took a deep breath and looked at them, that was when Jackie stepped in though. Freya created a separate link with Jackie since she knew who she was already anyways. "Jackie now isn't a good time. Please be quiet. I don't know where you get these wild ideas but now is not the time." Freya said. She looked back at Lexcifur and Zavion. "Anyways between Lexcifur and Auntie Xero they let Jackie and Blanc know that Sapphire is our mother. They promised not to say anything and I trust them... but what if other people find out...." She explained slightly nervous.

As Sapphire looked around for Crybex Beuce approached her. She honestly didn't hear much of what he would say to her, she was a little out of it, plus it was Beuce so most of what he was saying did not matter most likely. She didn't know if she wanted to let him help her, however she couldn't afford to turn down help in her current state. "We need to find Crybex." She said placing a hand on Beuces shoulder. Magic flowed from her into him allowing for all his magical abilities to be stronger. Following this a set of armour appeared as well as a new weapon in his hand. "This should help. If you find him let me know. I will come to help, it is my fight. Oh and these powers are ony good on Riel, I don't have the energy to sustain them in any major distances, plus it is harder to keep an eye on you." She instructed.

Gwen followed Hunter through the door back to the library. While Hunter got himself in trouble and sent away Gwen avoided the conflict going to books to try to find the next part of the legend. It didn't take long before she got annoyed at looking through the books ad finding nothing. She finally decided to stop that and going to find it on her rpers computer. After a couple minutes of searching she found it. ​

​

Waiting for all the drama to end eventually. When people started to quiet down she hoped that they would listen to her as she began to talk. "Listen up everyone I found the next part of the legend. ​

Infinite in mystery is the house of the hero
We seek it thus, and take to the sky
A crevice stands within the earth's surface-
The wandering soul knows no rest.
So since I don't feel like bsing my way through what all of these mean I will just say thing. From my sources I know they refer to Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Lilo and Stitch, and The Incredibles. So lets team up and head out. What do you say? Oh and sorry Lucien for stealing your job, this is what you get for not posting." Gwen finished talking.

Xander tensed up as he over heard what was going on with Caleb and Audrey, he killed yet another person. He killed Caleb's wife and beat Alisia so she was almost not recognizable. Yet Dane still held her in a position that no matter what he did could bring her to harm. Damn it! As Caleb told Audrey to close her eyes Xander turned to his friend. "Don't do anything to rash Caleb. If it comes down to it I will kill Dane but you need to remember and make sure your daughter still has a parent left to look out for her, got it?" Xander instructed as Caleb ran after Dane.

Xander was about to follow in a flash when Danes words made him freeze. What Dane said was true in the sense that they weren't able to protect anyone from his powers, that didn't mean they wouldn't stop trying. He COULDN'T stop trying, not when so many people where in danger because of him. He would kill Dane and free Alisia, he had to, for her sake. However now he didn't have a chance as Dane removed himself from the situation taking the injured Alisia with him. "Damn it!" Xander cried out as the corridor shut. "If only I hadn't hesitated." He grumbled after punching the wall behind him. There was n o telling where he had taken her. But apparently they did know the next part of the legend. Dane had said himself the person who could stop him was in a cave somewhere, he would find them not just to kill Dane but because it was what Alisia wanted. It was were this entire trip started from.

The worn, swollen eyes of Alisia laid on Audrey as she ran to her father crying. "I am so sorry." Alisia barely managed a whisper as she looked at Caleb in his anger. She was in part the cause of his wife's death. She didn't have that much of a choice but she could have refused. Was her and Xander's lives worth that of Juliet? She couldn't answer that question herself. As Caleb ran after Dane Alisia tried to struggle to free herself but she was too weak at the moment to have any chance. Dane was not about to let her go that easily. As she struggled she could feel the blade run across her back, and blood slowly soak her shirt, but at this point the blood stains were nothing new. She couldn't do much about the bleeding either as she was dragged through a dark corridor by Dane.

As she went through she felt weak, on the other side of the dark corridor she stopped supporting herself completely, if Dane let go she would completely collapse to the ground. Xander was left living which was a relief but now she was completely alone with Dane, no one to help her. She couldn't feel anything but numbness and weakness in her entire body. She felt as though she couldn't move. Even the physical pain from her injures no longer bothered her. She felt nothing, she was lost and didn't know what to do.​

Thomas sat around the fire looking from face to face of the people that were around there wondering if anyone had picked up on anything he had been thinking about before. Then again no one had ever paid much attention to him unless it was to get after him for flirting. That was about the only upside of being yelled at was that they actually were talking to him. Thomas sighed and was thinking of flirting with Annika again but after the no response last time and the looks she was given Aidan he knew it was no use. Instead he started to polish his gun not knowing what to say to anyone. The secret he had been holding back was floating around his mind but he could't say anything, it was really quite annoying.

Silvia didn't get an answer to her question, well not until they arrived at the next location and saw Beucette chained up along with the Nutcracker being tied up.Silvia wanted to help but the Nutcracker was in more danger. Silvia ran up to Beucette like she was about to help her but then ran past a couple feet to her great sword that lay on the ground. "I'm sorry I need to borrow this!" Silvia called back at Beucette as she ran off with it. When she picked it up she stumbled barely even able to carry the thing. However she forced herself to, she needed a blade.

Silvia could only hope the others were keeping the mouse king busy while she ran to cut the ropes on the Nutcracker to release him then back to Beucette trying to kit the chains repeatedly until they broke at some point. This was a lot of work for the young girl, she could barely manage to hold the sword up. She was panting and sweating but she had to keep going she had to help someone.


It seemed that there was more trouble, they had to go. It was not surprising though, she knew that there would be more. Thea stayed close to Clara as they ran to find out what was happening. The mouse king was there seeming ready to kill Beucette and the Nutcracker. "No let them go you meanies!" Thea called out. She started to run towards the mouse king and charging a ball of fire in her hand. "Leave them alone. They aren't the bad guys you are! Now turn us back big. I don't like being doll sized!" Thea yelled again. The flame in her hand had a blue flare going through it, that was when Thea threw it before it could get too wild. She through it at the mouse king homing it would be enough to make him let them go. Meanwhile she saw behind Silvia was working on their release.​

Thea refused to stop throwing flames at the wall although she was starting to feel tired again, she didn't have enough magic energy to keep this up much longer, but it was the only thing she could think of to do. She continued doing this until the sound of glass breaking caused her to stop what she was doing and look around to see what was going on. A wall had completely shattered and in its place stood another room where Alissia stood looking in at them, they had been rescued.

Thea was surprised when Clara ran over to hug her. Thea hugged her tight back as she felt the relief of the fact they had been saved. "I don't know what happened to him. I was really sleepy and then I woke up in here and he was gone. Are the people who took us going to hurt him? We have to find him and save him!" Thea half explained half guessed. She was not sure what to do but she was scared for the Nutcracker and needed to make it up to him for her burning him earlier.


Silvia didn't say much as Major Mint tried to comfort her slightly. Part of her mind doubted that it was true, if there was no door to escape. How would they ever find them to rescue them? But it looks like she was wrong. Glass shattered and a wall broke down revealing their friends. They were saved. Thea was shaky to get to her feet as she tried to walk. She was shaky for a few reasons. She hadn't really stood up when she had awakened, her anxiety had gotten the better of her, and she had not bothered with food or drink that day because she hadn't expected things like this to happen.

She walked near Alissia and looked at her but then down to the ground, trying not to sway too much. "Thanks for saving us..." She said quietly to Alissia and the others offering no helpful explanation. "Where are the others? Are they okay?" Silvia asked seeing some people such as Beucette were not there. She worried if they were in trouble or not.​

He had avoided the the elbow to the stomach, something not that surprising. He also managed a kick to his leg almost bringing him down. He could hear the lady near by yelling something about his concerns about his bones. She must have had powers as well. He knew enough about telepaths to know when certain this were the work of one. Colton grunted but remained standing as he felt the resistance against his powers, the man even got is hand to move even. Colton was surprised and put all his effort into trying to hold control of his power and not so much paying attention to other things around him. The gun hit the ground, it still worked.... or not.

Colton was not quite sure what had happened as he hit the ground. Something had rammed into him, probably the mans body and now he was on the ground. He hadn't expected it to happen like that and it was such a quick transition. He looked up slightly dazed as Lucas approached him, not allowing him change to do much before he stepped on his arm crushing the bone in his elbow. Colton grunted and gritted his teeth as he did his best to choke down a scream but even then it could be heard through his grunts.

Colton went to reach over to grab for his broken arm, hold it as steady as possible when Lucas grabbed him by both of his arms. Picking him up by both Colton released the scream that he had been holding back. His eyes watered from the pain as he looked the man in the face before being forced to turn around, a gun pointed to his back. No way of adjusting the trajectory of this one. Besides the pain was causing him to feel light headed, chances were that he would pass out before he would ever be successful at getting it to a point a bullet would do no, or no serious harm to him. Colton didn't even really have the mind to react to the comment Lucas had on his intelligence. It was not like it was anything knew, everyone thought all he was was an idiot, nothing more. It wasn't true but that was what they thought of him.

Colton had been restrained and forced into the back of a car, not a common car for a police or government person or whatever this guy was, not that it mattered much at all. It wouldn't be long before he made his escape, his powers made that quite easy actually. Though he had to be careful not to plan things out too much because of the telepath messing with his plans. He only glanced at Isabella when he heard his name.


Isabella watched as the entire thing went down, the fighting and all. It did seem to be unnaturally easy for the boys bone to break. She couldn't help but be curious what he had that caused that. This boy seemed like he would be interesting to study indeed, and given his demeanor he might have some interesting things going on in his brain that India would enjoy. Five hundred million dollars, here they came.

Isabella climbed into the back of the car with Colton watching him closely. She was trying to resist the urge to mind walk, though she would like to know what went on in that brain of his. Since they were still in the middle of a kidnapping she knew that it would not be wise to do such a thing, she needed to keep herself vigilant. "I am going to have fun with you. I have never gotten to experiment on a telekinetic before. It should be fun. Just be a good boy now, wouldn't want Lukey to hurt you more." Isabella commented not mentioning how she planned to hurt him in the process of her experiments. However she couldn't talk to her precious test subject anymore due to someone calling for the boy and Lukey ordering her to take the wheel, so she did as she was told.

Colton turned around as the top was put down and the car slow. Behind them stood Christie trying to stop the car. The government man, Lukey had switched places with the girl, Isabella and was now beside him yelling at Christie to release them. Colton stared at Christie, surprised anyone was caring enough to help him. She was trying to stop them from taking him. However it wasn't long before he heard Lukey, or Luke or whatever the hell his name was, talk about casualties and lift his gun. He did the only thing he could think to do at that moment and used his telekinetic manipulation to create a track of sorts to manipulate the path of the bullet at Christie, however he was unable to get it completely away before the gun was shot. He heard her scream out which was good, it meant she didn't die instantly, he hoped he had did enough to save her life. He owed her for trying to save his, but it was a lost cause.

Through all of this Colton did gain an advantage. As Isabella took off driving like a mad woman and Lukey was focused on Christie who was now on the ground crying he found it past the pain and the grogginess of using his powers so much to get to unlocking his hand cuffs, now only to unlock the door. He would jump out. He may break a couple more bones but a small price for his life in his opinion. That was if Errol or someone who could help him would be up the road soon enough to help him before Lukey and Isabella came back for him.

"Lukey!" Isabella shouted from the front seat. "The experiment has gotten his handcuffs undone and now is thinking of jumping out of the car. We can't let that happen can we? I need the money from the experiments. They are going to give us lots of it if we can find how exactly his mind works." Isabella explained so calmly, foiling Colton's plan without having to look at him. She had kept a telepathic link with the boy, they were forged easier than they were to get rid of. In a large group it was easy to forge more than intended and cause it to be hard to focus anymore. She used the telepathic link to keep an ear on her experiment. She didn't want to lose him after all.​

"A chance to make up for the past and see your parents again? Make up for what you did? Doesn't sound like a selfish act to me. I just wish that I could change the past...." Thomas said thinking about his own mother and how his mistake means that he couldn't ever see his mother again. If only one of those crystals could bring her back but it was not that simple. Even if you could bring back the dead this case was a little different, it wouldn't be as simple as it seemed, it wouldn't be likely at all. Even less likely than he ever being allowed to go home, and at this point that seemed like wishful thinking. A dream that would never come to pass.


"They won't hurt him will they?" Silvia asked knowing the real truth of the matter. They were trapped, five of them while the others were free to help. She hoped that they were coming to help them and going to find the princess. But more importantly she hoped that they would find the nutcracker and save him since it was almost a guarantee that they would hurt him before they came back for any of them. She was in no rush to make sure she was okay it was about the others, however she did want out. At the very least they were on the ground. That was a bit of relief. "How long do you think until we will be saved?" Silvia asked to no one in particular.


Pacing around the room there was no escape. How was that possible? They had to be put in there somehow, so there had to be an escape right? But Thea could see nothing. She didn't know what to do about it. Thea soon walked over to a part of a wall furthest from everyone else and started to spout a constant spray of fire at the wall, hoping it would do something, create an opening for them to escape through. Anything but to keep her locked in there any longer. It wasn't that she didn't like the people but she was a free spirit and being locked up did not suite her too well.​

Galia used attack on Frieza

As Colton searched through the trees he glanced back at the park to notice that two more people had arrived, a young man and a young woman. The woman wore a lab coat while the man there wasn't anything that particularly stood out about him. He studied the two people for a moment and decided that it was probably a young couple sneaking off from their jobs to go for a afternoon walk in the park. So that being said Colton went about his business finding where around there that someone could hide then abduct a child without anyone seeing at all.

The search was going okay, Colton hardly noticed the mother leave with her child even. It seemed there was a couple decent hiding spots, but he was pulled out of his search by the mans voice. Colton raised his hands and turned around slowly because sure enough the man had a gun pointed at him a short distance away. His mind quickly ran through his options, what he was good at with his powers, what he wasn't, how he was going to get out of this.

He started by creating a telekinetic manipulation track to try to curve the bullet away from him, at least away from an area that would kill him. He was not good at getting it completely off track so if be shot off the gun it would still hit him somewhere, just less vital. The next thing he did was prepare himself mentally. A small breath to calm himself down and he was off on his plan, or as much of a plan as you could call it. He used telekinetic push pull to push Lukas' arm/gun out of the way so it wasn't aimed at him. The next thing he did was charge at Lukas, closing the distance to put his training to good use. He knew various forms of hand to hand however depending on how much this man knew it may or may not work out to his benefit. He could keep up with a lot of people however if they were evenly matched or better he could easily be beaten because of his disorder. But he had to try, he couldn't just sit there and let them take him away.

As Colton reached the man the first thing he attempted to do was go after the gun in his hand. He grabbed Lukas by the wrist and twisted it a certain way to try to make Lukas release his grip. Colton had positioned himself so that if he shot it would go straight past him. As he did this he also elbowed Lukas in the stomach. "You'd be damned if you thought I was going to go with you without a fight." Colton told him.


Isabella smiled and waved goodbye to the mother and son as they left the park following Lukey's instructions. With them gone it was time to proceed with their operation. Lukey gave her a nod, and she stepped back to let him do his thing. She knew better than to get in a trained fighters way. She was insane but not stupid. She watched as the boy turned around, he didn't look too happy but he was planning something. At first it was hard to tell what he was doing, it wasn't liked she could see the telekinetic manipulation yet, but as Coltons plan came together in his mind she heard every word. However she didn't have as much time to react as she would have liked. She never had to use her powers in a serious situation like this.

"Lukey! Look out!" She called out just as Colton used Push/pull. Hopefully at least Lukey would have time to deal with the kids assault on him. "Lukey he is worried about his disorder being his downfall, something about breaking a bone. Hee is frail, use that to your advantage. But don't kill him! I need him!" Isabella shouted at Lukey as he hands rested by her bombs. She knew better than to use one now, Lukey was to close and she would get both of them if she used it, that wouldn't be a good thing.


"I don't know what is going on in that tiny brain of yours Tobias, but I don't want to, no girl in their right mind ever will." Cynthia said over her shoulder before going back and focusing on gathering her information. "But I will take that bet if you want, just to prove you wrong. Good luck with it and have fun. I will be doing something actually productive with my time." She commented. Cynthia highly doubted that he would complete it but if he did she would simply give him the number of the lead investigator if she could ever find it and get him to get the details they needed instead of whatever she could find on the internet. She didn't so much feel like talking to people so she would avoid it as much as she could and make Tobias do it instead.​

"Marry you?" Isabella asked with a questioning look on her face. "Hello what is going on in that brain of yours?" She asked making it appear like she was in his brain knocking on some metal door. "I don't want to marry you. I don't want to marry anyone. I am not interested in that kind of relationship. I don't have time for them Sorry for giving you any ideas." She told him earnestly. "As for my dreams, I have plenty of those, like how I can use my powers for another joke, and I have a dream of making the most colourful bomb that can completely paralyze people in a moment. They don't need to even inhale t stuff. It would be so cool, and a great weapon, though hard to do so it wouldn't harm the person throwing it. I have a dream of one day making that a reality." She explained to him as they got in a car and left for the park that Lukey spoke of.

Upon reaching the park Isabella looked around and saw a mother pushing her child on the swing. It was cute, she almost didn't want to read their minds. How could a family so innocent have powers, plus she couldn't kidnap either of them if she wanted to. In the end she didn't bother with them. There was no guarantee that her experiments would be safe and she certainly didn't want to break up this lovely family. She soon moved on to the shady kid by the tree's. Sure enough just to their luck he was what they were looking for. So Isabella did what she did best and made a scene about pointing it out to Lukey.

Colton did not turn to Nicole as she started yo yell. He didn't even bat an eyelash to be honest. His mind was far off thinking about if he was right about what had happened to Carter, what Carter might have gone through or was currently going through. No matter how much she yelled at him or cried he wouldn't believe her until they found Carter and he was safe and there was full evidence that Nicole hadn't done it.

After Nicole's fit came Christie's lecture. What the hell was his problem? Oh she didn't know the half of it. She didn't know what he had went through. She didn't know the reality of this world that they lived in. "You can't deny it isn't a possibility." Colton said masking what was going on in his mind with a monotone voice and a hidden face. He had nothing else to say to her and felt no need to justify himself in any way.

The next thing that happened was even worse than the yelling and the Christie lecture. Jean had called Errol in and here he was. Great even going out for once he could escape the man. He was here to torment him no matter where he went. Though don't get him wrong, Errol was the closest thing he had to a father of any sort anymore, but that didn't mean he didn't hate his lectures and such, they were pointless. He was not about to change any time soon anyways. Luckily Errol kept to business and even asked him to leave if he wished. There was no hesitation to take him up on that offer.

As the door slammed shut behind Him and Christie he turned to her. "I am going to check out the park see if I can find anything. Prefer you not follow me." Colton said as he shoved both his hands in his pocket and started to walk off still never once turning to face Christie. He needed his space. He didn't want to screw over the entire mission because of his emotions. He did want to help the boy, he wasn't that heartless. He had gotten in trouble as a kid on the street with his powers, nearly getting himself killed, so he was scared what Carter could be going through if he was still alive. If suspicion was correct he had powers so he would be going through horrors if certain people found out, those who feared powers.

It wasn't long before Colton arrived at the park. There wasn't much around, a mother sitting on a bench watching her kids play, some trees around, nothing worth noting really. What Colton had to find out was were was it possible for Carter to be taken without anyone noticing or hearing. He didn't imagine the kid would go without a fight, but then again he didn't know the kid very well. Colton started towards the trees to see if there was anywhere dark enough over there for someone to hide. It did occur to him that he probably looked rather shady himself but it didn't matter at this point, solving the case was what mattered.


Cynthia tried to block out Tobias as he rambled on about what he knew. She knew most of the same stuff until he brought up the book. Gross. Cynthia turned around and gave Tobias a swift kick to the nuts. "Too bad that you will never be able to try out anything you learn. That would require, you know, getting yourself a real live girl." She stated as she flicked her hair behind her back and walked the rest of the distance to the library. Entering she made her way to a computer and began her research. Checking for things like where the last ten kills by the Silent Killer were and their dates. If they could figure out his next time and place then all they would have to do is figure out target and they would be golden, well on their way to catching this killer and gaining the reward.​

Gaia could finally finish her part of the plan. She could summon the mysterious thing that she noticed she could summon earlier. Well it was better than doing nothing after all. She didn't want to whack the guy with a cannon, that couldn't go well, there was no way it would. So weird summons were a much better solution. And the summon was indeed weird. As she summoned it a flying cat thing appeared. Well it was time to see where this went.

Galia summoned the Exceeds

Freya looked from Lexcifur to Zavion when she heard Lexcifur speak through there telepathic link. She looked over at Zavion all the sudden and this time actually saw how beat up he was. How did she not see it before? She was so dumb. "I'm sorry Zavion. I am a horrible sister. I was, my mind was somewhere else." Freya said looking away as she started to get to work on healing Zavion. As she did so she she continued with her telepathic link. "We still have the problem of mom and auntie. What do you suppose we do about that? They are going to give away our identity here... again." Freya spoke unquestionably nervous.

Alisia did as she was told, slowly but surely moving directly in front of Dane as she felt a sharp point press to her back. Alisia tried her best not to cringe knowing what was behind her. As long as she behaved she would be safe. That was the promise right. She had gotten hurt when she misbehaved and ran away but he wouldn't do it if she didn't misbehave right? That is the hope she held onto as she moved towards the dark corridor, head down and eyes averted.

"What did you do to her?!" Xander spoke the moment he saw Alisia. She was holding her ribs, face was swollen and she was covered in blood. He told her to run.... He had been the one that told her to get away and listening to him got her nearly killed. What a damn idiot he was. Now Dane stood with a knife to her back so she couldn't attack without Aliai getting hurt more or worse yet killed. What had happened that Dane felt the need to use her as a shiled coming back in? Was just beating her enough to cause him to do that? It was possible now that he had seen some of Xanders power, his speed and all. "Coward! Using a young girl as your shield so you don't have to fight. How low can you get?" Xander called out at Dane.

Alisia shifted slightly as she heard Xander speak. She didn't dare move too much. She couldn't move to much without a dagger going through her spine. She was in enough pain as was. Every time she tried to move her entire body ached, but mostly her side where she had been kicked several times. She wanted to bag for help but not a word escaped her lips. She wouldn't even look up at Xander, she wouldn't show the true pain that showed in her eyes. And she didn't want Xander getting too close, not when Dane said that he was going to kill him next time he saw him. "Just... don't kill him, please." Alisia's voice was barely a whisper as she pleaded with Dane not to hurt Xander once again.​

"Yeah I was thinking the same." Samuel said in response to needing to meet someone. They didn't tell anyone much about themselves or really their entire quest, what they wanted to accomplish. So how would Tom know that they needed to meet this fellow. Then again Tom wasn't the brightest bulb in the bunch so he could have just made wild assumptions. Either way there was no harm going to meet this man. However Samuel did keep his hands close to his weapons, in easy reach.

Samuel looked confused as Tom poked Oscar and exclaimed that he was wrong. This would be interesting to listen to. As Tom and Oscar spoke Samuel knew better tan to open his mouth, but then again that didn't mean he couldn't just think the things he wanted to say. It hurt him a little inside to listen to Tom speak. "If know everything I am sure you would know pi, however I would be surprised if you could even recite the first three numbers. You'd probably even need your fingers to count to three. And this man, helping anyone? Yeah right. No one could help anyone. I have been enough places to know that." Samuel stopped thinking about what Tom was saying for a moment when he thought about the idea of getting help, it could be good but it could bite them in the butt too.

Samuels mind went back Tom as he mentioned the man could read minds. "Is that so? Well this will be fun. Tom seemed to be convinced that he is so great that his mind can't be read. But that would require him to have a mind. It is okay not long before we can get out of here. Get Oscar away before he pisses Tom off too much. He might be an idiot but he is a brute. Brain over brawn but I have more brains and I don't really want to deal with it. No offense Oscar but you are the fighter I am the brains. However that being said it doesn't take much for anyone to outsmart him." Samuel sighed as Tom finally moved to the side and they could meet this man who apparently read minds. "Samuel Leighyard. Nice to meet you, this is my brother Oscar." Samuel offered his hand as a polite gesture.


"Nice to meet you both." Sasha said as she turned away from he two men to focus on packing. She hadn't gotten too far when Gaius started to grab things and look at various items. "I will have to request that you don't touch anything. We have many staff here as well as high class and royalty that we have to serve and everything must be in perfect state for that. I will collect the food and get ready for the journey ahead."

Sasha disappeared into another room as it was a big pantry area. From there she collected a portable cook top food, matches, and any other items that she might need in the case they were gone for numerous days. She took a small purse of her own money from her pocket and put it in the bag that she was taking with her, just in case that she needed to buy food for them on the way. She didn't have much money so she hoped that what she had would last them. With all that packed in a decent sized travel sack she swung it over his shoulder and exited the pantry, grabbing some fruit from the fridge and adding it into the bag she looked at the two of them. "I have provisions for the three of us that should last at least four days as well as money for food if we so need it. We should be ready to go. So after you gentleman." She explained allowing them to lead the way out.


Xera looked into the cage and saw a skeleton sitting there reaching for the door. "Well it seems someone has been left there a little too long. Sucks to be him." Xera said as she closed the door on the skeleton. "See I like giant rats and skeletons as much as the next person but I don't think I am quite up to opening another one of the doors yet. How about someone else does it and I will be around for back up just in case." Xera told the others as she held her sword out but kept back. These people who said they would join them, she wanted them to prove their worth by actually doing something., Standing there watching them do everything made her think that they had something to hide. They were too nice to get their own hands dirty and just wanted to watch as others did so they could turn them in. She had to be at least somewhat cautious ​

The monster was dead and now they had access to the stone, which Annika grabbed. She didn't seem to have any problems with it but then again he didn't think she was greedy at all. Then Aidan grabbed one. Thomas waited a moment to see if anything happened. It didn't seem like it would so he looked at Aidan. The man had a reason for needing it so it seemed. "So why do you need this Aidan. It seems not to be out of greed which is surprising considering who it is, so what is the reason?" He asked.

Thomas then turned to Annika and handed her the staff he had gotten earlier. "So shall we save your kingdom and your parents?" He asked ready to set off. "And what is a princess without her knight in shining amour?" He asked clearly trying to hint at something. How great it would be if he could succeed in getting with the princess. He would be a god among his friends... if they could ever see him again... Which chances were that they couldn't.​

Colton sat down and and listened to everything around them. He didn't talk, he didn't need to, but that didn't mean he wasn't paying attention. He didn't have anything better to do anyways. He could let his mind wander but he felt as though he should at least try to be of some help to them if he was here. It was an excuse to get away from Errol and Danni but that meant that he had to live up to his side of things.

As the lady spoke and explained about her ex-husband then what happened that ended up being put in the paper Colton thought of the implications of what had happened. Was it possible that Carter had powers? Yes it was more than possible. It was possible that one of the other kids there had powers too, but Carter might make more sense. If that was the case then what was to say the mother didn't do it? If Carter had powers like Colton suspected may be the case and he started to show them more around the home Nicole could have gotten scared of her own kid.

"What is to say that it wasn't you?" Colton spoke up in a grim voice as he looked up at Nicole. "I mean it is possible that you discovered Carter had powers and were scared of him so you got rid of him. You used the excuse of a kidnapping so no one would point fingers." Colton said in a monotone voice as a soft clank was heard from his pocket and the two pieces of his brain teaser clicked back together. Bringing his hands out of his pocket he glanced over to Molly and then back to Nicole. "It wouldn't be the first time I saw something like that happen you know." Colton stood up and walked to the window and stared out for a moment thinking of what his mother had told his brother to do. What happened. He wondered if there was any sort of missing persons or murder case for his sake like there was for this boy. It was possible, but his dad being in the police probably covered it up and no one actually cared that he was gone. Colton pulled his hood further over his face so less could be seen. The sorrows in his eyes couldn't be seen.
