Three days had gone by, and Croffman was still trying to keep Tipphany alive. Just then, Tellennah came into the room with a small dagger in hand. Tellennah placed her fingers on the wall, absorbing the energy from the lab. She then charged at Croffman when he wasn't looking. Croffman quickly fought back and tied Tellennah down using Tipphany's enchanted whip. Tellenna struggled trying to escape, but it was no use.
"So you're the one who's been ratting us out. I hate to say it, but you need to be better at your job, Tellennah," Croffman said.
"Does it look like I care? Eclipse will make his next move, and then you'll all be nothing but a pile of dust and trapped souls in the void," Tellennah said.
"I don't think so. You see, you mess with Pixel, you mess with me, and trust me, you don't want to see me use full corruption on you," Croffman replied.
Croffman picked up Tellennah and took her to the cells in the lower level of the lab. There, Whisper and Brian watched over Tellennah while Croffman prepared the rest of the realm warriors to fight.
"Tellennah.. We should've seen it coming," M-minus said.
"We all should've but she acted so well that we missed it so easily," Michael replied.
"What now, Night Watcher? The Captain's betrayed us, Commander is unable to fight, and we only have so many people who can fight with us," Sharlette said.
"Maybe so, but I believe our Mystery Warrior here can help us form an army with more than enough people to help us win this," Croffman replied.
"It's not just my magic, Night Watcher. We need a Creetling strong enough to withstand the attacks from the entity core," Mystery Warrior said.
"I can do it," Brian said, walking into the room
"Are you sure, Hero? The Entity Core is very unstable," Whisper said.
"That may be so, but I'm not giving up so easily. I'm the only other Creetling here. We don't have much of a choice," Brian said, walking into the room.
"Alright, we got only one shot at this. Pixel should be able to at least help get in and try to free any prisoners that would be there. Hero, you and the others need to be able to find Eclipse. Hacker, you need to get into the system and jam the cameras," Croffman said.
"What will we do about Android?" Sharlette asked.
"Android's escaped!!" Skellington yelled.
"What?! Are you sure?!" Croffman asked.
"I'm sure. She used the energy from this place and teleported away," he answered.
"We need to move fast if we want to get to Eclipse," Michael said.
"Agreed. I'll grab Pixel. You guys start getting ready," Croffman said as he ran off.
Croffman ran to the recovery room as quickly as he could, but when he arrived, Tipphany was gone without a trace. All that was left behind was her weapons and armor. Croffman ran back to the rest of the team and explained what he had seen. They knew they were running out of time and needed to move as quickly as possible.
They knew where to find Tipphany, inside the Fire Entity Temple. This place was extremely dangerous. The heat in the temple could rise past the survival rate. Creetlings can only withstand the heat for so long.
