"There is a fighter in all of us, it just takes something tragic to bring it out."

Seto woke up, but he felt weak and can feel like he is moving but his limps are too heavy to move. His arms and head handing over Jason's shoulders. He struggled to move, coughing. His skin growing pale and clammy, his eyes closed again, Jason glanced at him.

"Just sleep, Seto. Sleep. We'll get you better real soon." He said calmly. Seto let out a shaky breath, waiting till he fell asleep again. Jason and Mason are both walking through a forest, relatively small but dense none the less, you could barely see the sky it was so crowded. Mason's been clearing the path for him so he doesn't have to move Seto around too much. They were checking on his wounds, they both know they have to find a doctor or something fast for him. Mason chopped a thin tree limb and pushed it forward, breaking it. He chucks it away in a random direction. He was about to cut another one, but a sword came out of nowhere, stopping at his throat. Mason froze. Jason was a bit far back, but he could see Mason stopped.

"Mason? What's wrong?" Jason asks. Mason looks to the side.

"D-Dad?" Mason stuttered. Commander Adam grabs Mason's arm, pushing him backward and onto the ground. He looks at Jason. Jason gripped Seto's knees.

"Adam, get out of our way. Seto needs help and fast." Jason said. Adam rolls his eyes.

"You think I would let you get away?" Adam asks. Jason stares at him, then notices his bandaged wrist and hand.

"What happened to your arm?" Jason asks before he looks at Mason. Mason gets up. Adam looks at him. Mason backs up noticing the Commander's red eyes. 'No. That's not my dad. My father's eyes are yellow. Not red and he has a purple amulet.' Mason thought.

"Wait...No. No, I can't fight the alternative version of my Dad. I'll lose." Mason said. Jason looks at Mason.

"Use his weakness against him, he hurt his arm, use that against him," Jason said. Mason looks at Jason.

"How?!" Mason asks.

"Are you two done?" Adam asks. Adam looked at Jason. "Cause we'll be taking that sorcerer." Mason puts his arm out in front of Jason suddenly.

"No way. You aren't having Seto." Mason said. Jason looks at him, he smiles a little bit. Adam looks at Mason. His eyes scan him and he chuckles.

"Let me guess, you must be the Commander's son? The one in Minecraftia?" Adam asks. Mason nods.

"Yeah. And you, you d-don't scare me." Mason said. Adam chuckled, he took a step forward.

"Then why are you shaking?" Adam asks. Mason's hands ball into fists.

"I'm not," Mason said. Adam stood in front of Mason, looking down at him.

"Than take your shot, I dare you." Adam snapped. Mason tensed up, staring at him. Jason looked at Mason.

"Mason, that's not Sky! Come on!" Jason said. Mason flinched, not moving. 'I can't..' Mason thought. Whenever Mason looked at Adam, all he could think about his father in that hospital bed, comatosed. He couldn't bring himself to hurt someone who looked like his father when he knew his father was on death's road. Adam grinned.

"That's what I thought. You're weak." Adam said. Mason flinched again, he looked away, Adam hits him, knocking him back. Jason backs up, holding onto Seto. Jason looks at Mason.

"Mason!" Jason shouted right before he felt Adam grabbed him. Jason struggled, he didn't want to drop Seto because that would hurt him more than he already is. Adam yanked Jason back, punching him. Jason yelped, he trips and the both of them crash to the ground. Mason gets up. Adam grabs Seto, throwing him over his shoulder. Jason scrambles to his feet, he tackles Adam down. "Mason! Get Seto away!" Adam runs Jason into a tree, Jason yelps, Adam pulls out his sword and Jason hits it with his knocking it off his target and missing. Mason takes Seto, he was hesitant though, he wanted to help Jason but he knew Seto needed help more.

He turned his back to them and starts running, Jason struggles, he hits Adam, Jason grabs Adam's hurt arm and twists it. Adam's grip on him loosing instant and his face scrunches up in pain. Adam yelps as he grabbed his hurt arm, feeling dizzy all a sudden. Jason grabs Adam's shoulder and drives Adam into the tree, his head hitting the tree. Adam groaned.

"Come on, Adam. This can't be the real you." Jason said. Adam looked at Jason. Jason felt a ping of hope hit him when he noticed Adam's brown eyes, only to lose it when they turned back to red. Adam fully turned around, knocking Jason off his feet. But just as Adam was gonna attack, Mason runs into him, knocking him off his feet. Jason looks at Mason. Mason helps Jason up. Jason looked at Adam, Adam gripped his hair, squeezing his eyes shut, groaning in pain. Jason pushed Mason away.

"Let's go," Jason said. Mason ran, Jason, following him. Mason stops and Jason sees him pick up Seto. Jason pulls out his sword, he heard movement behind them and also it is nightfall meaning the mutants are coming out. "Don't look back! Keep going!"

"I'll be right back." Melissa said as she leaves. Miranda looks at Dan who is sitting in the chair. She smiles at him.

"So, you must be Dan Diamond." She said. She looks at Jessica. "Why are you here? Why is Seto here too? I thought you all hated him—"

"Shut up!" Jessica snapped suddenly.

"Jessica," Dan warned. Jessica looked away. Dan looked at Miranda. "You never shut up, do you? Are you depending on Adam to save you?" Miranda chuckled.

"Of course not. I know how he thinks, he probably went after Jason, Seto, and that kid. If you want, I can take you to Adam—"

"James!" Someone shouted. Miranda smiled, Dan and Jessica looked at the door. Dan stood.

"Oh shoot," Dan said. Miranda chuckled.

"This just gets better and better," Miranda said smiling. James went into the room. He looked at Dan.

"Are you gonna be smart or a brave moron?" James asks. Dan took a step towards him and James sighed. He flicked his wrist towards Dan and he flew back into the wall, cracks splitting into the stone wall. Dan sunk to the floor with bleeding cuts all over him and not moving. Jessica took a step towards Dan, worried.

"D-Dan," Jessica said. Miranda stood up.

"It was about time you—" James looked at Miranda.

"Adam is unable to come, so the King sent me to get you," James said. Miranda looked at him, worried flashed across her face only to disappear within an instant.

"And what happened to Adam? And how much trouble is he in?" Miranda asks.

"That is none of your concern and a lot," James said.

"Let me guess, he hurt himself again?" Miranda asks. James nodded. Miranda groaned and walked pass James. "Take me to Adam right now." James followed, Jessica ran over to Dan. She shook him, he didn't respond.

"Dan? Dan!" Jessica said. She puts her hand on his neck. She smiled when she felt a pulse. 'Thank goodness.' She thought. Inshire Jerome came in, and Mitch as well. Well, more of Inshire Jerome helping Mitch since he is still recovering.

"What happened?" Jerome asks. Jessica looks at them.

"Get him up, we need to get him to the infirmary now. I don't know what James did to him but he won't wake up." Jessica said. Jessica went over to them, taking Mitch's arm and putting it around her neck to keep him standing. Inshire Jerome went over to Dan and picked him up.

"Ian is still here and causing a problem," Mitch said. Jessica looked at Jerome.

"Dan needs help. Jerome, you take Mitch back, I'll figure out how to get Dan pass the fighting—"

"I'll get him to the infirmary," Jerome said. Jessica hesitated, she set Mitch on the chair next to the table. Mitch groaned a bit, grabbing his hurt arm.

"Are you crazy?" Jessica asked as she looked at Jerome. "Jerome, you are far from a fighter."

"And you aren't strong enough to carry Dan, and Mitch needs to get back to the infirmary too. So it won't be like I am alone." Inshire Jerome said. Jessica looked away from him, staring at Mitch.

"You see what you Minecraftians are causing? You are tipping the balance of Inshire—"

"Like it was ever balanced in the first place," Jerome said. Jessica looked at Jerome, her eyes set on Dan. Dan is unconscious with his head on Jerome's shoulder and blood flowing steadily out of cuts in his flesh. Jerome went past Jessica, leaving the room. Jessica turned around, staring at the door. Mitch looked at her.

"Try t-trusting him," Mitch said. Jessica looked at Mitch.

"Jerome and Ty aren't fighters—"

"Than why d-did Ty kill those Blackwell Soldiers, capture Miranda and Max, and injured Max? We're all f-fighters, Jessica." Mitch said. He coughed all a sudden, Jessica goes other to him, touching his unhurt arm.

"Come on, let's go." She said as she moved his arm around her shoulders.
