“Where’s Chris and Hal?” Gillian asked as they jumped out the Sky Chaser together as their heads recovered. As they left the docking bay, they found Chris and Hal sitting and leaning against the wall gasping for air. Getting back on their feet, they headed back up to the bridge where Ellen’s trio awaited them.
While passing an air lock, opening the door was Thomas with Kayleigh in reality form held over his shoulder. Helping her through, she got picked up fully by Thomas and they continued until a tune like on a ferry chimed the corridor.
“All passengers of the Night Colony please head from Sector F to Sector D.” The voice was obvious to be Ellen’s as it was far to be a child than a recording plus the cheerful tone.

Arriving on Sector D, Chris looked around as they checked each door. A panel upon one of the doors showed an animation of clouds forming and lightning strikes lighted it. Another activated with wind crossing strands of grass and leaves flew along the panel.
“I guess this is where we maybe spending the night.” Gillian wondered and suddenly thought of something was wrong. “I’ve just realised we don’t have an exact change of clothing since we travelled to the Desert Zone.” Hal turned to her with a weird look on his face.
“You only just noticed?” He asked as David found one where it was spiralling into black lights while Rosie found one similar. Hal looked back to the doors, as he approached the grassy detailed panel, the door automatically opened to him. “They’re based on our abilities we have.” As Hal rushed in to look around, the room was clean and arranged like it had still been in space all the time.
“Places like this must have been sorted while we were on board and the main power was activated.” Thomas explained as he put Kayleigh onto her own feet and joined him within the room. When they looked inside the draws expecting them to be empty, it was stacked with all needed tops and bottoms and the very much-needed items. “Just like ‘home’, the only thing is, it’s very scary how they menarndity (magically) stock up with correct size.” Even though his Cronika language was difficult to understand, it was obvious to Hal what word to describe the stocking, he only nodded anxiously as they closed it up.
“So, we are in element arrangement then.” Kayleigh reworded the situation as she set off with Gillian to find a drop falling into water and lit candle animations on their door panels. Chris only noticed Rosie finally follow the two and when her room opened to her, she didn’t come back out.
“A long lasting side, eh, figures really,” David noted as he assorted himself with Chris beside him.
Within Rosie’s room, she collapse onto the warm, cosy blankets of her bed as her Virtual side vanished completely. Only turning her head for breathing, she watched the draws become filled with appropriate clothing. Turning over onto her back and her head on the pillow, she couldn’t stop thinking about interacting with the others, especially when she hadn’t seen Gillian for a long time. Something feels strange; I can recognise it from the past on Cube. One’s close, and the other is calling someone else, but who? She sat up and caught sight of a wide glass window on the far left of the room. Outside she could see many stars and few planets that now orbited Earth. If she had looked closer as she turned away back to lying down, the hidden colony from the Colony Night was just a tiny speck in the night sky.

Meeting back on the bridge after entering their own rooms, Sarah had picked up a ‘shooting star’ fly and seem to land somewhere back on Mystic Zone. While Ellen was trying to determine where it had landed with the help of Kayleigh, Thomas finally got a chance to show them his and Kayleigh’s discovery.
“We found it among the ruins of the Silver Craft,” He explained while Gillian assisted Hal on what the unknown Cronika words on the remaining places of the Colony were. “Honestly I haven’t seen it on before, not on the craft at all. Tornado Spacer may have dropped it while swallowing the Silver Craft in its winds.” He gave the mini cannon to David as Rosie finally appeared on the bridge and instantly took no notice until… “Galax, what do you make of this?” Thomas called as Gillian turned while her Virtual side took over for the time. Unfortunately, Chris and David along with Sarah and Little David were masking the object she was meant to see. Galax and Hal approached while Rosie stood by as Galax past Chris and Sarah and stared in shock.

“Galax, are you ok?” David asked as she slowly backed off due to the sight of it. At last Rosie saw the cannon and gasped in horror. “Ok, do you have any idea?” Rosie frowned and moved Galax away from the scene back to where Hal and her had stood. “Well, out with it, what’s wrong with bringing this little cannon on board?” Taking a sigh, Rosie shook he head as her worn out Virtual side tried to activate to explain.
“When she was back on my home world, she had been on the run from something. I’ve seen this thing as well, and if I’m not mistaken, that’s part of them.” Rosie glanced over her shoulder seeing Galax feeling unsettled with arms grasping on the other. “I don’t want her thinking the worst can happen. There is a storage bay on H which stores objects like this for safety reasons. In time, I will tell the rest of this but if any of us finds others like this must send it down for safe keeping.”
“But why?” Little David asked her as Galax returned to normal and headed out of the room to the lift down to her room.
“The objects are demonic.”
“Demonic, but there’s mainly Characar that are classed as demonic only in this world.” David exclaimed as Chris and Hal looked at him, when he looked up he noticed Kayleigh stared in disbelieve. “Alright, those Characar creatures aren’t the only ones. Kayleigh and I had seen others on Talona, but aren’t sure where they have come from. Still we hadn’t found items that are…” He paused as he glanced towards the lift and back.
“Don’t start David,” Chris interrupted, they could tell that they weren’t his words as he continued. “Even if you still don’t trust Galax, doesn’t mean you can call what…” Rosie suddenly held her arm in front of him.
“He could be right,” Rosie mentioned while David became surprised as everyone else turned to listen. “Don’t mention this for her sake but I think that she is, even though she is good. Any of you noticed notice something out the ordinary before?” It fell silent, Little David held onto Chris while Hal turned to Ellen and Kayleigh started to think.
“Well, springs in her feet,” Thomas suggested as Hal nodded in agreement. Then Chris looked at David and remembered both points on Tetris and Shadow Realm.
“Her abilities in normal combat,” Chris finally mentioned as Thomas stared in confusion for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
“I think it will be best to keep this quiet, it may over do her after this.” Kayleigh suggested while Ellen and Sarah kept a look out on the monitor for anything. Rosie turned to each of them as they agreed on their outcome.

Back in her room, Gillian was sat on her bed, in front of her was a mirror set for her. Her reflection was Galax in her own normal clothing and sat differently to her like she was someone else rather than being Gillian herself. Gillian could clearly see she was upset slightly from the incident. How can I help cheer her up, it was quite a shock but not something to get scared about.
“It only reminded me about what happened on Rosie’s home world. So far though, I keep getting bothered about it as I’m being watched now.” Galax words became scrambled with her own thoughts as she moved into a better position. Gillian turned her head and began to lie on her pillow. Galax only vanished out of the mirror as the mirror was packed away back into the Night’s walls. Don’t worry, we’ll get to bottom of all this. She stared at the ceiling as the light flicked within the light bulb above.

Beyond Night, the hidden colony that never stopped spinning gazed across space to see the Night as a tiny colony to itself. Tantrum carefully walked the corridors, thinking about her times on her home planet of Sarin as she caught sight of the Night Colony within the distant. Turning away she watched as Tornado Spacer seemed to have caught half of the colony within its winds. Clanks and bursts of rock crumbled as they hit colony’s surface. They have all tried to take her down and failed, like this colony she’s well protected and resistant to all damage. She thought as she accidentally entered a room forbidden to her. She stared around the place and wondered and was puzzled. The room was huge; along the narrow way among the high walls were all barred cells. As she was about to take a step forward, she froze and looked over her shoulder.
“You aren’t allowed in this part of the Colony, Tantrum” It was Xstrum; he frowned as Tantrum shrugged her shoulders and turned to pass him.
“Every door here all look the same to me,” She teased as exited out to the corridor with Xstrum behind her. The door shut and locked behind him as he left her. If he hadn’t stopped me, I would have discovered the others. Tantrum predicted as she continued the other way.

Xstrum looked over his shoulder; no one was behind him as entered through a marked door, different to the rest onboard. Inside the other shadowed female waited for him. Her face was lit by the dim lighting around them; she slowly walked by him and stared.
“Tantrum isn’t to be trusted to remain on the Colony any longer.” She muttered to him as they stopped before a shadowed part of the room. “She’s only here because of her time powers but can use them to…”
“You can’t be trusted either,” Xstrum cut her off as he stepped forward and landed on a stair in front of him leading up. “You maybe helping out by assisting to his undeveloped powers, but your just the same as Tantrum.” They started walking up the flight of stairs with in shadows, as the floor became flat again they stopped while still blabbering on.
“Don’t start thinking I’m going to go soft as Tantrum is now!” She shouted, suddenly a blast of icy blue glass sprayed across between them. She gasped while Xstrum became impressed as the glass crackled and burst into fragments. “My apologies for shouting, I wasn’t meant to disturb you like this.”
“Tantrum is useful until she finds out the truth,” He groaned and in the dark, the figure glanced over his shoulder. “You better buck up or you’ll be heading back to where I found you. Like your foolish brother, you would be spending your days figuring out how to make a storm on Tri. As for you Xstrum, you mustn’t make things easy for our little guest to discover what our actual goal is.” A small violet light grew in front of the figure and burst into nothing.
“Your powers are still not ready,” The blonde girl mentioned as something was held against her. “You need to be patient if you want your powers to develop properly to their full potential.” As the object was removed away from her, his tone became calm.
“True, but some are not meant to controlled by others. If mine aren’t ready for the time and they discover theirs, this will be difficult.”

Area 8, Colony Haunted Zake

After the battle on board the Silver Craft and the disruption from Tornado Spacer, nothing fully remains of the craft in the vast space. Far slightly away from the wreckage, the secret colony silently waited as a glimmer of light sparkled in a far distance boarded the colony.

*

Down on Mystic, Professor Vicra was comforted as a message from the Night Colony came through. She felt upset yet pleased as a picture of what remains was shown. The message suddenly broke up as Icla brought in a sealed case; Vicra turned and wondered about the static.
“Sorry if it broke the signal,” Icla muttered and placed the case on a table. “But I think this should be told to them.” Vicra couldn’t think what he was talking about as he opened the case. Inside was a small crystal that sparkled with life and fizzed of shocks. They heard everyone start complaining about computers jamming and breaking up like the message from the colony and turned to everyone. Vicra turned back to the crystal starting to react to all of the machinery.
“What is it, Icla?” Vicra asked with panic in her voice, it was unbelievable to watch but Vicra couldn’t help but quickly shutting the case with a slam. The computers around them returned to normal. Noticing that the moment had been precise meaning that the crystal had caused it, they carefully opened it a jar just as the closest machinery reacted just to be sure. “Where did you find this?”
“On an exhibition while they were busy with the Silver Craft.” Icla replied as they took the crystal out of the room. The next room contained no mechanical machines that could be tampered by the crystal. “It did the same thing when we tried to examine it, still it hasn’t stopped being so active. Crystals like this generally stop in a few minutes after discovery; this is taking over two hours.” Vicra was startled as they carefully opened the case again; the static around the crystal had slowly shrunk to tiny specks on the surface.
“I think Sparker or Riowner might have seen something like this before on Tetris.” Vicra wondered and turned to Icla. “Make sure no one tries to steal it while I call Night.”

*

Hal on Night waited as an automatic door opened for him and entered Thomas’ room. Thomas was sat on his bed with a book he had from a rucksack he recovered from the Silver Craft five hours ago.
“So, what’s this then?” Hal asked as Thomas sensed his presence beside him. On one of the pages, there was a strange kind of bonsai, which in place had berries; on the trunk were broken bark, and a branch flourished with blossoms. Thomas looked up at Hal as he joined him on his right.
“These are advanced earth abilities that were used on the Silver Craft.” Thomas explained as he noticed Hal laid back and wasn’t fully amused. Abilities to grow new kinds of life, I bet. Hal thought as Thomas shook his head. “This page talks about seeing others through this method. For example, all their conditions and thoughts can be seen using this. The one by us shows you were thinking that you were judging the page.” Hal sat up and caught sight of a plant on the bedside; the moment he shot up, the plant suddenly grew vines round the trunk and sprouted leaves. Thomas laughed as Hal felt confused, Thomas also watched as the vines disappeared and plant bent to the side.
“Cool,” Hal said as the plant returned to normal with green leaves sprouting out like it just turned summer. Hal looked at Thomas and felt impressed. “So, how do you grow them?” Thomas smiled and held the book so Hal could see.
“It’s actually quite simple, just a seed of an Alcas and who the thought on who you want it to represent.” Thomas explained, he turned to a bag beside them and pulled a small pouch and opened it to small pink seeds.
“Wait, you made that one act with me,” Hal exclaimed as the plant reacted with a branch breaking off and dissolving into the soil. There was a slight pause as the branch grew back into place. “Can it be anyone you like and swap them?”
“Unfortunately, swapping to certain people isn’t a good idea.” Thomas sighed placing the book between them and stood up. Heading round the bed to the other side of the room he picked up another one, while Hal studied the pink seeds and the book. When Thomas returned with another Alcas plant, Hal was surprised and shocked.
“What happened to that must be?” Hal wondered with an expected idea Thomas may already has.
“I found out when trying this one on Gillian but,” Thomas looked down at the plant; the trunk had broken in half like something had slashed the plant down the bark. “Gillian switched to Galax at some point and now this Alcas is dead.” Hal turned to the other Alcas which all of the leaves rotted and suddenly spilled dew onto the soil and plant pot. Looking back, he noticed Thomas also watched it seem to die in front of them. “I think it died because of ‘you know what’ down in the security hold.”
“You had one setup when we were given these rooms?” He asked while the houseplant’s leaves started to refresh and tilted in different ways. Thomas nodded, Hal smiled took a pink seed from the pouch and left the room and turned to Thomas before he left through the slid open door. “I’ll try it out; I just hope I don’t waste them all.” Thomas just laughed as he Hal felt puzzled as Thomas stopped and shook his head.

“Don’t worry; I know where to get them anyway.” He replied as Hal left him and headed down to his own room. As he walked down the corridor, he watched Chris rush past him and entered a nearby lift behind him. Hal started to think as he glanced down at the pink tiny seed in the palm of his hand.
The minute he entered his room, already a pot of soil was setup for him. As Hal sat down and placed the seed into the soil, out from the wall came a small watering can and poured water into the pot for him and then returned into position. I wonder where that goes after it was used? He had thought but then watched the plant start growing the bark and the leaves off the branches sprouting out.
“Ok, so Chris we’ll start off with for a moment.” Hal mentioned as the plant responded with a faster pace of growing and rushing through the seasons. “That wasn’t hard to tell,” he thought as the plant stopped on a basic summer tree.

A half an hour past while Hal was amusing himself with noting all the responses Chris was doing. The Alcas had been doing most of what Hal had felt when he had joined Thomas in his room and plus a few blossoms seem to of fallen at this point. “I’m starting wonder if this can watch element usage as well as feelings.” With that, the plant started to grow a new trunk beside it and little sparks were produced on the dip of the leaves as they developed pointed sides in lightning shapes. “That’s more like it. I guess this can be useful if I tried this on Gillian, it may avoid Galax’s emotions.” Hal noted on another piece of paper the new discovery for him until he noticed his light seem to brighten slightly. He turned back just in time to watch the Alcas react differently now. The main Alcas became stunned with the entire leaves stand stiff. Hal was more concerned with the other; the electric like leaves turned yellow and started to fizz rapidly. Soon Hal caught sight of sparks jumping off the plant and land on the wall, he soon noticed the light flicker that the light burst and everything went black except for the sparks couldn’t stop. “Take that one off now.” Hal cried as the plant broke off from the bottom and fell onto the desk. All the sparks stopped while the light turned back on, Hal quickly got to his feet rush out back to Thomas.
Thomas opened his door to find Hal at his door and was surprised to see him. Hal panted and looked up, as he stood straight.
“What’s the problem, something the matter?” Thomas asked as Hal gained his breath.
“Chris’ element has gone berserk while I was using the Alcas to monitor him.” Hal gasped, as Thomas was shocked as Hal headed off to the lift with Thomas behind him. “Something has definitely happened to him.”

Chris finally reached the bridge to find Ellen with a transmission from the Mystic Zone. As Chris joined her, she allowed the message to play for them.
“We just discovered something some time ago, Professor Icla says it fell out of the sky from somewhere and found it. We’re not sure what it is but I think either Sparker or Riowner could tell us something. Please come to the Mystic Zone science lab as soon as they get this message.” It was Professor Vicra’s voice; she was the only one who could send messages like this to the colony. Ellen turned to Chris while he glanced at her.
“I’ll go myself, ok.” Chris said as he turned and just as he headed towards the door, Gillian came in and joined Ellen. Chris then turned to map of the colony, suddenly a light bleeped at him on a certain floor.
“Chris,” Ellen called to him, when he looked over his shoulder, Ellen smiled and nodded to him. “You’ll need to use the transporter that’s just lit up on the map ok.” She reminded him as he turned back to the map to check it, she was right. Turning back he nodded.
“Thanks, Ellen,” He replied as he set off down to the transporter. Ellen turned to Gillian who was busy putting on the security cams on in the hold where lay the founded Hyper Blaster slept now, unused since Thomas had found it outside the Silver Craft. She felt slightly depressed when Ellen looked back to what she was doing.
“Do you know where Rosie has disappeared to?” Ellen asked, Gillian glanced at her cousin and tried to think. “I’ve looked everywhere for her but she seems to have vanished.” Gillian suddenly had a thought come back and switched the cams to record and took the security screens off.
“She’s thinking of way to get back to Cube,” She replied and turned away from her. “But the Colony doesn’t have the coordinates to set for it. She’s gone off to places to find the correct directions there, since we don’t have anything that could be close by to signify on its location.” While Ellen listened, the alarm set off and brought up a strange and odd shaped rock planet.
“That’s strange,” Ellen wondered as Gillian looked up as well. The rocky world was covered with large craters upon the surface. “That looks as if it’s seen many days.” Ellen flicked switches and buttons until another window opened with everyone named on board and not practically doing anything. “Besides that we need someone to check this place out, shouldn’t we head home to tell our parents about this.” Gillian blinked and could visualise home, none of them had been able to go home during their boat trip, which took them on their adventure.
“I think we should, but what about Chris,” Gillian thought as she glanced over her shoulder. “Surely he’s homesick too.” Thinking about such, Ellen called up everyone else to the bridge. All but Hal, who insisted for the small time would stay onboard until Chris came back so both could go. David and Kayleigh instantly headed out the minute they were told. Of course though, unfortunately no one was going to be at the bridge during this time. “Are you able to Thomas, even though David doesn’t trust you still?”
“I’ll be fine, besides Hal’s onboard too” Thomas replied as they left the bridge and down to the transporter. Thomas turned to the screen of the rock and silent world; he pressed some the keys, beside that window came up another with a tracking system. “Sorry guys, I’m not playing this for you,” Thomas muttered as a file was detected and was deleted off the Colony. “I’ve got better reasons; it’s not going anywhere.” Thomas smiled as the screen closed and opened the map that had suddenly located something faint. They can try but they aren’t going to get it that easily.

*

Chris finally landed back on Mystic Zone and was greeted by Professor Icla, one of the scientists that worked there. As Chris looked around, he recognised the place meaning he was already at the lab.
“Come, come,” Icla started as Chris followed him into a new and different part of the building. It was filled with boxes still unopened which contained technology that he had never seen before. “Don’t mind the stuff lying around; we’ve just got it from Pentagon.” He mentioned as Chris caught sight of Vicra stood with a silver-looking case on a table. She looked up as Chris glance at Icla and felt puzzled.
“Don’t mind asking, but ‘Pentagon’ would be?” He asked as they joined Vicra in front of the case, closely it was crafted to hold off energy.
“Pentagon is another realm that builds high technology,” She explained but then placed her hand on top of the case. “Inside here though, is why you’re here.” Vicra dug into her pocket and pulled out a small disk and placed it under the case’s handle. It clicked open; before Vicra opened it she nodded to Icla to close the door.
“This seems to affect our systems when exposed.” Icla noted as he closed the door and nodded back to Vicra as he came back.
“You ready then?” She asked, Chris nodded slightly as she slowly and carefully opened the case. Chris suddenly caught sight of light within the case as it came from a strange crystal inside. It sparkled and gave off small sparks of electricity inside and onto the cotton like material that crystal had snuggled into like a sleeping child. Chris was amazed but then through Sparker’s memory, it he could recognise it to something similar in the past.
“It’s an elemental gem, how did you find it.” Chris wondered as he turned to Icla. He scratched the back of his neck as he looked odd.
“It landed here yesterday,” Icla finally spoke but he looked at Chris oddly. “It’s been reactive for quite some time, but now…”
“I might need to show the others about this,” Chris mentioned as he reached out for the gem while it didn’t give anything off. The moment he touched it, he couldn’t help fully grasping it and couldn’t let go. “What, what is this?” He exaggerated as the crystal reacted violently, sparks flew ferocious as Chris, Vicra and Icla could feel all of the tension round the room. The crystal grew worse, Chris couldn’t move, his hand was fully paralysed on the gem.
“Chris, drop it!” Icla cried, as Chris tried to turn to him.
“I would have already; it’s like a magnet on me!” He cried back as Vicra shielded her eyes with her arm as light grew as the shocks grew too much for Chris to handle.
The light dimmed away, as Vicra looked up and glanced round. Icla had collapsed onto the floor while the room fizzed with electric strands twitching all around. Chris was gone; when Vicra gasped she rushed out of the room into the lab, most of the technology was trashed and some beyond repair. No one was around when it happened, but most of their research was lost forever until noticing something odd within the walls.
“Could this be…” Vicra wondered and quickly entered an unopened storage room. Inside she found an old file, which looked salvaged than seen in the incident. As she scanned the pages, most of the data was murky and unable to read but not much was useful except some that was clear to read. “Tantric ... powered by ... Tantric crystals. ‘Zitos 163, Heviad 75 and Quita ... 24’, Ichigo Cube.” Vicra thought carefully as she turned a page and suddenly caught a word, which she thought of never seeing.

“Professor Vicra,” A voice called as she turned to find another with short black hair and held a disc in his hand. “Those were coordinates weren’t they?”
“Kiran, I thought you left for the Ruin Zone,” Vicra mentioned as she exited the room holding the salvaged file from the room.
“We have another problem on our hands though,” He replied as Icla joined them, recovered from the incident. “But this one has some connection with what’s happened here.”
“What do you mean?” Icla asked as Kiran turned to him and back to Vicra.
“Zacut’s project is about to be unleashed from the Colony,” He replied in sorrow.

*

“What!” Ellen cried when they heard the news, Hal and Thomas held the Alcas plant in front of them to show everyone. David stared out the glass window and noticed static currents rush along the surface on a planet they haven’t set foot on yet. “Chris’ element isn’t able to do such that his level, so what could’ve caused it?” Suddenly, she remembered that Vicra had mentioned something Icla found. “What ever was discovered might be the cause of it.”
“Might is more like ‘it is’, we need to get down there and stop him.” Sarah suggested while turning to the others. Thomas was carefully altering things on his watch; when she stepped closer to see what he was doing, Thomas stopped and noticed her. “What’s up?” She asked as Thomas paused but then shook his head.
“It’s nothing, really,” He replied but the conversation had caught the Shadow David’s attention and his Virtual side, still having suspicions. “What are we waiting for boys and girls, let’s go!” Thomas mentioned while they agreed with him; as Gillian, Hal and Kayleigh followed Little David hugged his oldest sister until David behind them both let them both go.
“I’ll stay on watch this time,” He said softly as Ellen wondered, she took her little brother to the door but then turned back to him.
“Are you sure?” Ellen asked, he gave a slight nod to her and they both went as Sarah was about to join them.
“Sarah,” David spoke as Sarah turned round to her name. “I have thoughts on him too, and I’ll deal with him if he’s what I think he is.” Sarah then realised that he knew and said no more as she left him to it. David then turned to the Alcas plant on the side that still revealed Chris’s elemental state. “Now can you do Thomas and his element?” In response, the Alcas only sparked and fizzed, it didn’t listen and kept on Chris. “Figures,”

*

Down on the surface of a city, it was lit up within the night but the light only came from Chris’s electric energy. The lights had all burst into shards of glass, with broken glass and lampposts scattered everywhere in Chris’s path it seemed that he had only just got there.
A few miles from his location in the city, Rosie stood on a rooftop with a straight and clear view to his whereabouts, which could be told as electricity spread out and out of the street and up the buildings. In her hand was a CD case with strange words and lettering, holding up to her eyes she tried to read it while stepping to her left. Suddenly lightning struck where she was stood before and bounced into nothing and disappeared. Rosie looked down and saw the marked floor beside her, as she kneeled down to take closer look another bolt struck had struck a building in front of her. It bounced and disappeared above her; taking a pinch of the dust and examined it.
This is what my abilities give off, but could that mean that I’m…Rosie thought as she looked up to notice lightning strike a feet in front of her. He definitely doesn’t know I’m here. She stood up until a shock came to her head and shot around to find someone behind her.
“You aren’t going anywhere,” They said as Rosie looked carefully and was surprised. Now opposite her while sparks still fly, a cloaked figure stood before her. Their voice was different as they spoke again. “You’re going to hand it over, if you know what’s good for you.” A hood covered their face but Rosie wasn’t worried about him but rather the other threat that she caught behind her. She was now stood between them and one she could recognise.
“I wouldn’t bother, you won’t make it anyway,” A familiar voice spoke, even though Rosie knew who it was she still didn’t know their name.
“So who’s your new friend or are you hanging out with him.” Rosie mentioned as the hooded being pulled their hood back to reveal that it was a boy. Rosie was startled slightly but not scared as electricity flared up the sky. “Right now I can’t waste time with either of you.”
“So no ones introduced properly,” The one in front mentioned as he folded his arms and sighed. “Tantrum, can we get this over with,” Rosie was shocked as she turned as Tantrum held her palms up and shot a wave of energy towards her. As the sky darkened, Rosie vanished as the energy was extinguished in midair.
“I had told it wouldn’t work,” She replied to the other on the other side of the rooftop. “Xstrum, don’t push it and it may just go according to plan.”
Under the rooftop, Rosie looked up to the ceiling above her. They finally got here to sort Chris out. Tantrum, the same one from Cube but I’ve heard that name while searching for way to Cube to see if that Pendant Staff is still there. As Rosie left the room and headed downstairs as the place suddenly started to shake with rumbling beneath her feet. As she headed down the next flight down stairs until the lights flickered and blackout, without hesitation she continued.

*

As Thomas arrived first with Hal behind him, they both looked over their shoulder to notice they have just exit from an ordinary houseplant. Hal searched round the city streets, Little David suddenly burst out of the ground with Gillian behind him.
“Ok, what happened?” Little David wondered as he stared at Hal and Thomas. “Why did wind up in the sewers?” Thomas started to figure things out while one appeared before them; it was Ellen who arrived.
“Hold on,” Thomas exclaimed and took out something his pocket, a tiny speck from a marble glowed furiously in his hand. “Ow!” He yelled as he suddenly dropped it, the marble hit the ground as it became alit in flames.
“What else do you have in your pockets?” Hal asked as the flames burst into two figures, all of the flames disappeared to reveal Kayleigh and Sarah unharmed. They were just as surprised as everyone else but their shock was cut short after a blast of electricity caused a major blackout, it was now dark.
“Alright, lets get going,” Kayleigh reminded them as they headed off in Chris’ direction; while on the way Hal, Ellen and Sarah switched to their Virtual forms and armour forms and took flight. David and Kayleigh took their route underground for a different technique in store. Thomas grabbed a hold of Gillian just as she also switched into Galax Star, both headed after the other three ahead. Unfortunately, as they got to the rooftop, both of them could see the static and dangerous sparks of fury across the city.
“It’s best if you sit this one out,” Thomas suggested as he glanced over his shoulder. Galax blinked in confusion, when looking back he could see a glass formed bird head straight for the core. It gleamed through most of the light and sparks but then lightning shot out in the opposite way and struck to destroy the approaching bird. The bird screeched, as it was real and shattered into pieces. “As bad as this is, even if you have your abilities. I’m not risking you or Gillian against him.”

With that he used his armour to fly and join them, leaving Galax behind and keep her distance. Hal now as Riowner, caught sight of Thomas flying towards them. Ellen and Sarah known as Pinpin and Pinpon were blown back to Riowner and Thomas were waiting.
“That’s the best move we’ve got,” Pinpin cried out as they spilt up as a strand of lightning tried to target them. “What now?” She asked when they were back together; Hal couldn’t think what to do as he watched the horror before him.
“Hal, pull it together!” Thomas shouted, as they needed to move again and regroup. “It’s not his fault, even if it was he can’t develop this much.” He and Hal split up as another shot straight by them.
“So there’s a source,” Hal reminded himself as he joined Pinpon in front of him, she looked over her shoulder and nodded.
“We need to get in the centre though,” Pinpon mentioned as Pinpin overheard them, from below the core from the ground came an epicentre of an earthquake. Bursting out was a molten beast; it climbed with such force and tried to engulf the core of electricity. As it, the sparks reacted within the beast and broke out of the mouth and developed more so the beast retreated. “That’s why Kayleigh spoke to David before we got here. We need someone to break their limit, like a power Canandram.”

“If that’s so,” Pinpin thought, Ellen also wondered about when one will activate to be useful. Suddenly a vibe within her caught her attention; she took off further into the sky. Riowner and Pinpon quickly noticed her disappearance into the air and couldn’t be seen in dark even from the light of scattering electricity.
“So plan C is,” Kayleigh’s voice startled everyone and turned around but then needed to move as another strike of lightning headed for them again.
“Pinpin’s just gone herself,” Pinpon cried as now known as Pequra, Little David’s feelings could be felt. Suddenly just as he looked up, a shining light could be seen from above.
“Hey, everyone, a starlight!” Pequra shouted as they all looked up to see.
Above Pinpin’s armour having two thin, light metal tassels had now split into a total of four. They gleamed with light as Pinpin spun round once in the sky; as she would blast her own ability of sand from her palms something else was new.
Below, Riowner felt himself becoming cold as they saw a huge beam of ice crash down and froze all the electricity on the spot. They were surprised with this move but more surprised as Riowner took his chance. He took off straight for the frozen body of the electric strands. As he set a blast to the centre, it shot a ball a lot stronger than he expected. As the smoke cleared, he noticed he actually shot a way in but the blast slowly caused the ice to begin to melt.
Flying inside, he had a clear flight in, finally coming to a stop, he landed and skidded along the ice. There in the ice was Chris, Riowner’s shot melt the ice around him but was unconscious. Riowner started to freeze within the cold while checking on his brother. In his grasping hand, a tiny glow shone on. Breaking the ice around Chris’ hand using his earth abilities, he retrieved a shining crystal. Quickly placing it in his pocket, he worked on getting Chris out of the ice.
Returning to Galax powering down and coming out from cover, Thomas and Kayleigh were first to land with Sarah and David following them. Above, Ellen glided down still in her armour; Sarah and David felt some confusion.
“Pinpin lost energy while up there,” Ellen explained tried to look behind her back. Still four tassels fluttered behind her, their thoughts became jumbled up with no exact solution to put the pieces together. They turned and looked up at the huge amount of ice shatter, as Hal broke through carrying Chris still unconscious. When they landed, Chris started to stir a bit and slowly opened his eyes.
“I think he’s going to be fine,” Hal said as Chris struggled to balance on his feet. Hal glanced from Thomas to Ellen and then to his brother. “It was a neat trick that, Ellen. Plus these earth abilities really help in a way.” Gillian smiled with relief as Chris could stand on his own and puzzled as he looked around at the strange world.
“Right, does anyone mind explaining what happened?” He asked as everyone stared at one another and then turned back to him. “This is probably going to take a while then.” All of them nodded in agreement to him, Hal reached into his pocket and brought out the crystal. The minute everyone noticed it, slowly it began to react again to Chris for being a few inches away.
“Besides that Ellen hasn’t powered down yet,” Thomas reminded them as Ellen struggled with finding a turn off switch with Gillian’s help. “We might have a problem once we take this to the colony.”
“How do you mean, Thomas?” Kayleigh asked as she revealed the red marble Thomas had in his pocket when they arrived.
“I mean, this thing isn’t ordinary from what I’ve seen and may affect the Colony Night in way.” He stepped forward to see Ellen and Gillian and glanced back at Kayleigh. “In the mean time we’ll head back for now, and Chris try not to use your electric abilities for a while. They might be still a bit feisty from what just happened ok.” Chris took his word as he glanced down at the crystal still in Hal’s hand.
Kayleigh wasted no time as Sarah joined her and were engulfed in flames, leaving only the red marble to drop onto the floor. David picking up the marble, he then realised the heat had vanished and became cold in the air. “What I don’t understand how she had that, when she didn’t pick it up.” Thomas wondered as Hal’s other memories seem to jog.
“I think that’s the Virtual form’s idea, seems she been like that since Riowner has known her.” Hal explained as he placed the crystal back in his pocket. As Thomas looked around the rooftop he found a ventilation pipe coated in silver. Taking Ellen and Chris over, both held onto him but wondered what he was doing. As he touched the pipe, all three of them were sucked into the silver pipe and were gone. “Thomas must have transported them back to the colony.”
“I get it now,” Gillian exclaimed as she turned to David and Hal who still remained. “David visualise a path to the Night colony’s transporters.”
“Now hold on a minute,” Hal mentioned before they started to move.
“What’s wrong,” David asked as Hal caught sight of a figure take off from a building not far off. It was far darker without Chris lighting the night, but he could see them disappear into the night.
“There was two people over there,” Hal explained as Gillian turned and searched the area but her sight wasn’t good enough to notice much. Suddenly a dark light shot into the sky from the horizon and disappeared into space.
“I know that one anywhere,” Gillian’s words didn’t sound like her, as Hal figured out it was Galax’s own. If that’s so, Rosie must be up to something for us. This doesn’t tell me about the other two. He thought as grabbed a hold of her and David.
“Alright, lets go David,” he finally said, with that David touched the ground and a light pulled onto David’s arm and dragged down Hal and Gillian as well as David himself.

As they vanished, Tantrum and her friend called Xstrum sighed in relief as they used a device that teleported them to set location. Knowing their failure to stop Rosie, her travels were not secret. Her armour was active as she flew along space with the sun behind her. Not far in the distance, a colony slept in void but this wasn’t the Night colony. Rosie caught it position in the corner of her but didn’t stop. That’s the same one that attacked me when I left Cube the first time. Right now, my time isn’t here to go for it. She continued as the colony was no longer in sight, she knew that she still far from the safety zone.

Back on the Night colony, Gillian, Hal and Little David arrived to find everyone else was wondering what took them.
