Welcome back! Also, I should probably explain what happened to some of the characters. So before they guys left the Wizard's Tower, they told Red, Barney, and Ross to stay there to watch over it. Once at Irene's Sacred Grove, Max, Stampy, and Squid stayed behind there when the group left to go find Husky. I'm sorry I totally forgot that they were in it......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Rob's POV~

"Garroth, thank you for doing this." Aphmau said, giving Garroth a large hug.

"It's my pleasure Aph. Me, Laurance, Dante, and Travis have to go back to Torona anyway. We'll make sure Quentin makes it to Irene's Sacred Grove safely." Garroth said.

"Thank you Garroth. Stay safe." Aaron said, hugging him as well.

Everyone in Aph's group said their goodbyes as we talked to Husky.

"Sorry again for shooting most of you with hot water." Husky said, motioning to Preston's face. "I feel so bad now. What can I do to repay you guys?"

Preston walked over and hugged him tightly.

"You can stay safe, and take care of yourself." I answered, hugging him after Preston let go.

"Thank you guys. I promise I will." Husky said, hugging Lizzie after me.

After Quentin pulled away, a hand from Dante was placed on his shoulder.

"You ready to go? The trip is a half a day's walk." Dante said. Husky nodded. "Good. Guys, it was great to meet you finally."

"And you as well mate." Lachlan said, holding out a hand for him to shake.

Dante shook his hand, as well as the rest of ours, before he and Husky were called.

"Goodbye guys!" They exclaimed.

"Bye!" We all yelled back as the disappeared into the forest.

"Alright! We need to get going as well. Roundstock is a two day walking trip from here so we better get started." Aaron said.

"Wait! Couldn't we teleport? I have something we can use to teleport there." Tiffany said, pulling out a small grey device.

"And what would that be?" Wag asked, looking closely at the object.

Tiffany shrugged.

"There's no name for it that I know of. I just know it can teleport to anywhere in the land." Tiffany explained, messing with a few dials on the tech. "Everyone needs to be in about 10 feet of where I am so get close.

Smirking, I walked over to Preston and quickly picked him up bridal style; scaring him as I did. I chuckled as Preston hit my chest lightly.

"Don't do that you cactus!" Preston stated, throwing his arms around my neck.

"But what if I wanted to?" I asked, kissing his forehead.

"You are one weird mother-fudger." Preston said, kissing my cheek.

"But you love me." I said, walking over to Vikk and Lachlan, who had their hands intertwined.

"You guys ready?" Tiffany asked, receiving a chorus of yeses. "Then let's go!"

Tiffany pressed a small blue button on the device. A quiet humming was heard as the world became blurry. I held tightly onto Preston as the world, slowly but surely, returned to normal. Only, we were standing in the middle of blackened rubble. Preston hopped out of my arms and held me close, eyes widened at the sight.

I gasped as I saw the carnage. The area we stood in, used to be the town square. The houses and shops were in ruins, blackened with ash. A few bodies littered the streets; some children, parents, and elders. Their skin was pale, with a grey tint to them. People ran around, trying to escape whatever had caused the mess.

I put a hand over my mouth as tears spilled out my eyes. Preston, Vikk, and Lachlan pulled me into a hug as I looked at the ruins of my town.

"We need to find Seto and his object NOW. Before any more innocents die." Tom said, rushing ahead.

I pulled away from the hug and ran after Tom; the others following after. But instead of turning left like he did, I ran straight ahead; right towards the castle.

"Rob! What are you doing?" Vylad asked, stopping me in my tracks. I turned to Aph's group who were all looking at me with confused expressions.

"If you don't know already, I'm the Prince of Roundstock. My family is in the castle and I need to get them somewhere safe!" I exclaimed.

"Okay! The Pack will go help Rob's family. Everyone else, we need to find Seto and his object!" Wag ordered.

I gave him a grateful look before taking off with the Pack right behind me. We soon reached the castle doors and pushed them open. Servants ran to me and Preston, asking what was happening and where we had been.

"Everyone! Please calm down! Does anyone know where my parents and sister are?" I stated aloud.

"Your parents are in their study while Queen Lily is in her room reading." An elderly servant said, pointing up the stairs.

"Thank you ma'am. Guards! Take the servants to the Underground passageway and keep them safe! Me and my friends will get the Royal Family." I said.

"Yes sir!" They exclaimed, starting to usher the servants to the cellar. I turned to my friends.

"Preston, since you know where my sister's room is, take Vikk and go get her. Take her to the Underground tunnels. Me and Lachlan will go find my parents." I told him.

He nodded and kissed my lips. In the corner of my eyes, I could see Vikk doing the same to Lachlan.

"Be safe." Preston whispered.

"I'll fine. You be safe too." I whispered back.

I kissed him one final time before he ran off with Vikk up the stairs. I turned to Lachlan who nodded. I turned back around and ran down the south corridor, with Lachlan right on my heels. I turned left, then right, another right, ran straight for a few seconds, before turning right again and stopping in front of my parent's study.

I frantically knocked on the door. A quiet 'come in' sounded from behind the door. I quickly opened it to see the shocked expressions of my parents.

"Robert! What are you doing back so early? And who's this?" My mother asked, rushing over to give me a hug. I hugged back before quickly pulling away.

"No time to explain. All you need to know, is that a group of our friends were kidnapped and turned evil, and the sorcerer of the group is here killing and destroying the town! Me and Lachlan have come to get you guys while Preston and Vikk get Lily. Now come on! We need to go!" I said quickly, grabbing my mother's hand.

"Wait! Before we leave I need to grab something that will be useful." My father said, standing up from his seat and opening a drawer in the desk. He pushed a few things around, before pulling out a small box. He walked over and handed it to Lachlan.

"I found this on my desk yesterday morning. I have no clue as to who it belongs to, but it might belong to your sorcerer friend." My father explained as Lachlan opened the box and pulled out a red creeper face necklace.

"That's it! That's his object!" I stated. "I remember that from meeting him last year."

"Great! Now we just need to get this to the rest of the guys." Lachlan said, pocketing the necklace.

I turned to my mom and father.

"We have to go, so I'm sending a few guards to take you to everyone else, is that okay?" I asked. They nodded.

"Guards! I need you to take my parents to where the servants are. And let Preston know we need him at the castle doors." I stated to the guards outside the study.

"Yes sir!" They said, one rushing off to most likely find Preston.

"You boys need to go." My mother said, placing a hand on my shoulder. "We'll be fine waiting."

"Are you sure mother?" I asked.

"We'll be fine son. Now, go!" My father said, ushering us out the door.

Lachlan grabbed my arm and pulled me along.

"Come on mate. Let's go!" He said. I nodded and led him back to the main area.

As we got there, an explosion shook the castle, causing me and Lachlan to stumble.

"What the Nether was that?" I asked, looking to Lachlan.

"My guess...." Lachlan started as another explosion hit. "Is that Seto is here."

Confirming Lachlan's guess, an explosion hit the wall next to us; sending us flying. Lachlan and I were thrown into nearby pillars; groaning as we hit the ground. I coughed a little bit as I looked up to see what happened. Standing where we once stood, was Seto. Like the dead bodies we saw earlier, his skin was pale and have a grey tint. His once hazel with purple eyes, were now pitch black with grey specks. Black marks ran from under his eyes; making it look like he had been crying black tears. A sadistic smirk sat on his face as black magic filtered through his fingers.

"Well well well. If it isn't the little heroes." Seto said. "I've been told a lot about you."

"From Herobrine I assume?" I said, standing up and using the the pillar for support.

"I hope he said nice things." Lachlan said, wincing as he stood. He was using the the pillar to support him as he stood on one leg.

"Nah. Mostly just things about how I should destroy you!" Seto said as he used black magic.

I began to suffocate, my hands going to my neck on instinct. I could tell Lachlan was meeting the same fate from the gasping noises he was making. Black dots began to fill my vision as I continued to gasp for air. Insane laughter filled my ears as my vision became blurry.

"SETO STOP!" A voice yelled, causing Seto to release me and Lachlan.

"Brice..... Be careful...." I said quietly.

~Brice's POV~

"Brice..... Be careful...." I hear Rob whisper.

"Seto please don't do this." I said, tears spilling down my cheeks as I looked to my boyfriend. Seto's eyes flashed, turning brown before going back to black.

"Why should I listen to a little wimp like you?" He said, a frown present on his face.

"Because you love me." I said.

I began to walk closer to Seto, who growled at me.

"Don't you dare come any closer!" He threatened. "I can kill you with the flick of my wrist."

I ignored his warning and stepped closer. Seto backed away in fear a little bit.

"I'm not going to hurt you Seto." I said, now right in front of his face. "I love you."

Seto's eyes flashed brown as he began to cry. He gripped his head in his hands as his eyes began to flash from black to brown.

"Get......my.........necklace!" Seto exclaimed as he sunk to his knees.

"Brice!" Lachlan called from where he sat next to Rob. "Catch!"

Lachlan threw something at me, the object glittering in the air. I caught it and quickly took a look at it. It was the red creeper necklace I gave Seto for his 16th birthday. I ran over to Seto and removed his hands from his head and threw on the necklace.

Seto was calm for a second, before he started screaming. An explosion came from the necklace, knocking me back. I slid across the ground with a groan. I quickly sat up and looked around, panicking.

"SETO?!" I exclaimed. "SETO WHERE ARE YOU?"

A pair of arms wrapped around my waist and the voice I had longed to hear echoed through my ear.

"I'm right here Brice. I'm okay." Seto whispered into my ear. I broke down in tears and hugged my boyfriend close. He held me tight and whispered softly in my ear, trying to calm me down. Eventually, I had calmed down and sat there in Seto's lap, him running a hand through my gravity-defying blonde hair.

"Happy anniversary babe." Seto said into my ear, causing me to laugh.

"Happy anniversary love." I replied.

"Seto. We need to ask you a question. What do you remember before now?" Tucker asked as everyone surrounded us. Rob and Lachlan were leaning on their boyfriends, looking to me and Seto.

"I remember asking anyone if they wanted food, and was told to get some for everyone. So, I went to get some pastries from a cart vendor. I bought some food, but as I walked away, I got jumped by a man with flaming red eyes. He put anti-magic cuffs on me and teleported me to the Nether; where Jerome and Herobrine were waiting. Then the man who attacked me eventually brought everyone on the Team. They then started putting spells on everyone. After my turn, everything was hazy. But I remember the location to one other member of the Team."

"Who do you remember?" Tyler asked, looking anxious.

"It's your boyfriend Jason. He was sent to the city of YorkWorth."
