"Never forget what you are fighting for, because that could be the last thing you hope for."

"You failed." The King said. Adam looks away. They are in the Squid King's office, just the two of them. The King rises, he looks at Adam's wrist. "So, what happened to your wrist?"

"Nothing and I didn't fail. He escaped, but he and his friends have trackers on them. Miranda is tracking them down." Adam said. The King sighs, he moves around his desk, his tentacles grabbing Adam's wrist, pulling him forward a little. The King puts his hand underneath Adam's chin, moving his black sunglasses on top of his head.

"Mmmm..." Was all he said. Adam winced, pain stung up his arm when the King's tentacle tighten around his arm.

"Nghh." Adam winced.

"Miranda has been captured, and if you don't bring her back to me to be punished, you will get her punishment instead." The Squid King said. Adam looks at him. "So take this as a warning." A sharp pain stung his wrist, making him gasp. The King lets go of his arm, Adam instantly grabs it, pain pulsating from it. "These rebel groups are getting stronger, and it is your job to silence them. So far all you have done is disappointed me constantly."

"Than tell James to stop pulling Minecraftians into this world," Adam said. The King crosses his arms.

"Minecraftia is another platform for us to take over, and I expect for when Minecraftia's leader to fall into James's trap, for you to kill them. Right now the magic circle is killing Minecraftia, and it is easy to restore--"

"And what if James's alternate decides to mess with it?" Adam said, gripping his hurt arm.

"He won't if he knows what is good for him. Get your arm tended to, you are leaving to get Miranda and bring her back to me." The Squid King said.

"What about Max?" Adam asks.

"Is Max, Miranda?" The King asks. Adam shakes his head. "Than Max isn't important. You are dismissed, Commander." Adam takes a step back and then leaves. His arm was instantly grabbed by Ian,

"What did he do this time?" Ian asks, he pushes up Adam's sleeve revealing bruises forming on his arm. Adam pulls his arm out of Ian's grip.

"I'm fine," Adam said.

"Adam, your arm could be broken or fractured. And fractures can cause people to pass out--"

"I said I'm fine." Adam snapped. Ian looked away. "Prep the soldiers, we are going to rescue Miranda."

"And Max?" Ian asks. Adam looked away.

"No," Adam said. Adam walked away, Ian followed.

"But Adam--" Adam stops, turning towards Ian. Ian stops.

"Miranda is who we rescue, I don't care about what happens to Max." Adam snapped. Ian's eyes look at his arm again, seeing Adam is holding it. Ian met his eyes.

"First he twists your ankle, gives you a concussion, broke three of your fingers, and almost chokes you to death. Now he almost broke your arm. And who knows what James did to mess with your head." Ian said.

"I didn't ask for your analysis of me, I ordered you to prep the soldiers, so go do it. Now!" Adam shouted making the guards around them flinch. Ian walks pass, Adam. Adam grips his hurt arm, feeling pain sting up it, Ian glanced at him. He walked back up to his friend.

"Adam," Ian said. Ian pushes Adam towards the infirmary. "Go get your arm checked out, I'll prep the soldiers."

Barney looked from Jordan down to his hands in his lap. He was in the back, his friends near the middle of the room. He puts his hands on his arms. 'Come on...Come on, stupid memory. Come back, my Minecraftia friends are here, why aren't they triggering anything?' Barney thought. Jordan looked over at Barney.

"Is that...Barney?" Jordan asks. Barney looked at Jordan. Mitch grabbed Jordan's arm.

"That's Inshire Barney, not Minecraftia. Our Barney died, remember?" Mitch asks. Jordan nods. Barney looks at them. 'I..what? They think I died too? Jason told me but I didn't believe him..' Barney thought. Barney looks away.

"Well, Inshire Barney is just...annoying. Always asking questions." Mitchell said. Alesa looks over at Barney, she gets up and goes over to him.

"How's your memory? Your friends are here, do you remember anything?" She asks. Barney shakes his head. Alesa sits down beside him. "It will come back, give it time--"

"Time...Alesa, its beens months. Hows much more times does it needs?" Barney asks. Ty looks away from Barney, Jeffrey is curled up by Ty's waist.

"So, it was Ty you killed all those soldiers and saved Minecraftia Jordan?" Jessica asks. Mitchell nods.

"I told you all he still had fight left in him," Mitchell said. Jessica crosses her arms. She looks at Ty.

"About damn time you made yourself useful," Jessica said. Ty looks at Jessica and then looks away.

"Hey, be nice." Minecraftia Jerome said. Ashley looks at Jerome.

"So, how are we gonna tell who is who?" Ashley asks. Dan looks at them.

"Easy, Minecraftia Jerome is nonhybrid and Inshire Jerome is a hybrid," Dan said. Ashley sighs, irritated.

"You know, thanks, Dan. I couldn't tell one of them was a hybrid and one wasn't." Ashley said. Dan smiles at her.

"Anytime," Dan said. Mitch looks at Minecraftia Jerome.

"Inshire Jerome should be called...Fluffy." Mitch said.

"That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why?" Mitchell asks. Mitch looks at them.

"Because he's fluffy," Mitch said. Inshire Jerome smiles.

"I like it." He said. Mitchell rolls his eyes.

"Of course you do," Mitchell said.

"Where's Jason?" Jessica asks.

"Jason is here?" Jordan asks. Mitch looks at Jordan, he nods.

"Yeah, he is. He's been here this entire time. Wait, how much of Minecraftia decayed?" Mitch asks. Jordan looks at Mitch.

"It's nearing the Sky Army, almost touching it. Seto tried fixing it as you remember, but Wag figured out that it is because Seto tried activating his magic circle when wizards can't do that. It will only hurt other mages. So Wag teleported me here to get you all, we all need you back in Minecraftia. Things have gotten worse—"

"Sky will snap out of it." Minecraftia Jerome said. Mitch shakes his head.

"No, Jerome. He won't. Ever since Barney died, Adam has been harder and harder on himself. And he's in a coma too, can't lead when you are asleep." Mitch said.

"Adams in a comas?" Barney asks. They look at Barney. Mitch nods.

"He was stabbed in the chest protecting Alesa, it put him in a comatose state, barely hanging on," Mitch said. Barney looks away. 'Adams....' Barney thought. He stared at the floor as they talked. His eyes widen.

~Flashback~

"I'lls be okays! You go gets thems." Barney said. Sky looks at Barney, he moves Barney's hand.

"But your eye—"

"Gos Adams!" Barney said.

"I'll be right back, don't move!" Sky said before he turned and ran away. Barney coughed, his eye hurting him, making him dizzy and nauseated. Then he hear footsteps, but black dots decorated his vision, he felt something pushing down on him right before he passed out.

~End Of Flashback~

"Barney?! Barney!" Barney heard someone yell. He was on the floor, Alesa hovering over him, the others behind her. "Barney! Wake up!" Barney's eyes open, he looks at her. "Are you okay? You collapsed all a sudden." Barney sat up, he looked over at Mitch and them and then at Alesa, mostly confused. She smiles a little. "Wait, did you remember something?" It took a second for him to hear her question but he nodded.

"I-Is remembers...how I lost my eye," Barney said.

"How?" Inshire Jerome asks.

"In a...In a war. During a battle," Barney said. Barney looks at Mitch, Jordan, and Minecraftia Jerome. "The same battle that...I disappeared from Minecraftia." Mitch's eyes widen, the other two were shocked or didn't believe him. Mitch walked towards him, cautiously.

"Wait, you are...our Barney?" Mitch asks. Barney looks away.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Minecraftia Jerome asks.

"I d-don'ts knows. My head has-beens scrambled as Is woke ups here." Barney said. Inshire Seto looks at Barney.

"Why didn't you tell me? I could have sent you back." He said. Barney looks at Seto.

"You're scarier than Minecraftia Seto," Barney said softly.

"Seto, wait, Jordan. Did you see Seto at all yet? He's hurt pretty badly." Mitch asks. Inshire Seto looks at Mitch.

"Wait, my alternate got himself hurt already?" He asks. Mitch nods.

"He was shot multiple times by the royal guard," Mitch said.

"Are those the same people who screwed up your shoulder?" Melissa asks. Mitch shakes his head.

"No. But, we should find Jason, Seto, and Mason. Before something else happens to them." Mitch said.

"What about Miranda and Max?" Dan asks.

"Mitchell, interrogate them. Get as much info out of them as you can." Melissa said. Mitchell smiles and nods.

"I can do that," Mitchell said.
