His eyes were opening slowly, a natural, dim light immediately filling them in a way that gave him an overwhelming headache (Or did he already have one? He wasn't sure) and Phil groaned as he closed his eyes again, rubbing his temples to try and rid himself of the ache.

He couldn't remember exactly what happened, but he remembered sitting on the ledge in Planet White, looking at the stars and missing Dan, and then he remembered a sudden pain, and then Thomas, and then darkness clouding his vision.

Why the hell did Thomas hit him over the head, he wondered, and opened his eyes slowly to look around.

He was in some sort of a well that seemed to go up for awhile, filled a bit of the way with water. Probably one on Planet White that they used for getting their water to drink, but then quit using. Phil couldn't figure out why he was in here though.

He looked through his pocket and found a slightly damp piece of paper crumbled up inside.

He opened it, and it read:

'I want to shove it in your face, Phil, that what's to come is entirely your fault. I have the stone, I have my wish ready, and I'm going to Earth. I don't care how powerful you think you are, because you can't stop me. I'm going to make myself the strongest monochromian in the universe and Earth will belong to me.

I'm telling you this so that way you know, that when everything falls apart for you, it was because of me. I despise you and for as long as you live, you'll be under my command.

Oh, and Phil? I'm going to kill Dan, and your child. Have fun with that information.'

Phil paled visibly. He knew it was from Thomas, and he knew he was serious about it.

Something dawned on him and he read the note again.

'... I'm going to kill Dan, and your child. Have fun with that information...'

"I- I have a child...?" He whispered as tears rolled down his cheeks, and even though it was a mere whisper, it echoed. "Th- that means... Dan..."

Phil's eyes widened, and he looked to the top.

"I- I've got to get out of here...!" He shouted, panicked, shoving the paper in his pocket as he began to climb.

The rocks of the well hurt his hands and fingertips, surely causing them to bleed, but he'd have to heal them later. For now, he had to save Dan and his child.

Thankfully, his powers made him stronger and they allowed him to climb faster and he didn't need to breathe as much.

He needed to get the hell out of the well, and to Earth, before it was all too late.

Dan sat with his baby in his arms and his friends by his side. He passed the baby to PJ gently, who really wanted to hold her.

PJ was very gentle, as he didn't want to break her or something, and then he thought about something.

"Dan," he murmured, tilting his head curiously. "I'm just curious, but how do you kill a monochromian?"

"A number of ways," Dan replied, looking at all his friends. "I'll tell you if you promise not to kill me."

He laughed, obviously joking, and then proceeded. "You can kill them various ways, such as bleeding them to death, ripping out their hearts, etcetera, but suffocation and drowning will take longer to kill them because they don't need to breathe much. They can mostly die any way a human can, really. Ripping out their hearts is usually the most effective way, I think, because they can't heal themselves in time. And so, really, any way you can think to kill them will work, but not always, you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yeah," PJ uttered, nodding. He looked down at the baby. "I think losing your heart would be a sad way to die, really. It's like having your way to love taken away from you or something before you die, you know?"

"Yeah," Dan breathed out, taking a sip of the glass of water on the nightstand.

And then for awhile nobody spoke, until the front door was kicked down, which was so loud that everyone could hear it in the back guest room.

As Felix opened the guest room door to go see what the hell was going on, that was kicked down, too.

"Hello, Daniel," the intruder murmured with a wicked grin. Dan's and Felix's eyes were wider than saucers, for Thomas was standing in their doorway.
