"what? How long have you been there?" Will snaps at Jordan.
"long enough to know we might have a chance at finding tomahawk" Jordan firmly says.
"Should we see who else is gonna join..." Devon asks. Jordan shakes his head. "this will stay in between us, will are you coming or not?" Jordan asks.
Will looks around his room, rolls his eyes. "Fine, but can I at least tell Jody..."
"No! Just as" Jordan insists.
"Fine" Will puts his hands in the air in defeat.
"Okay meet in my room in an hour" Devon says as he zooms off within the blink of an eye. Jordan exits the room leaving Will alone in his room. He flops onto his bed, still unsure why he agreed to go on this mission.

Before the boys had to meet up Will found Jody in the training room, doing a workout with the punching bags.
"Hey" Will says in a quiet voice, trying not to scare Jody while she was in the middle of punching the bag to death.
"Hi..." She huffs as she grabs the punching bag before it swings too much. "W-Whats up?" She says as she tries to catch her breath.
"Well, um... Would it be okay if.... Maybe..." Jody moves her hand, signaling for him to spit it out. "Can me Devon and Jordan go into the city for a couple days?" He asks with one big breath.
"Sure? Why are you asking me?" She asks in an uncertain tone. "Well I didn't want you to worry and your sorta the leader so I thought you'd want to know" Will says as he runs the back of his neck.

"I'm fine with it, as long as you and Jordan don't rip each other's necks off" She jokes as I nervously smile.

Will let her continue her work out, he went back to his room to retrieve the bag he had packed for their mission. He packed light things, nothing that would way him down. Extra clothes, money, a weapons or two( just in case) and some food.

He met with the others in Devon's room as planned.
They left the base by foot and traveled into the city in silence. They made it into the loud and hot city around noon. They grabbed some take out and ate it on the road. 

Devon led them towards the location where he thinks Tomohawk will be located. They found and old warehouse that used to be a powerplant. 

They found the entrance, Devon broke the lock and slowly walked into the darkness. 

They make their way around the powerplant, not seeing anything too interesting. 

Everything seemed normal except for the locked door with black smoke emerging from the cracks. 

"He must be in there" Will tells them as Jordan rolls his eyes. "No shit sherlock" he mumbles. 

Devon nodded before moving his hand a little high off of his side. Then moving it so fast that it looked like a blur. He moved his hand towards the door, his hand went right through the door, he started to rapidly vibrate his whole body and stepped through the door. 

Jordan touched the door where his friend just stepped through. 

What Devon saw on the other side made his mind fill with fear, anger and sadness.

His best friend was standing on a platform, in a long dark trenchcoat with his hands gripping the poles sticking up fro inside the platform.  A dark black smoke like aura emerged from his hands. The smoke swirled around his body. 

He saw the black smoke turn the polls Tomahawk grip, they turned a dark purple and the polls jetted into the platform, then the energy was transferred into tubes that led into capsule where 5 humans laid unconscious. their bodies looked normal, except for the black veins traveling up their bodies. Signaling that demonic work is in process.

"J-Julio?" Devon mumbled in fear, calling him by his real name. 

Julio's head rapidly turned around to flare at Devon.  His eyes grew wide with wonder. But that didn't last fro long because they narrowed as he took his hands off the polls.  He turned his body towards Devon. 

"Well, well well old friend" he smirks as he jumps down from the platform. 

"What... What's going on here?" Devon asked as Julio raised his hand, the smoke returned and floated around his hand. "Blackmagic," He told Devon. 

He gaveJulio a disgusted look. "Oh come on! How do you expect almost the entire Cube developing powers?" Julio asked.

"Y-You did this?" Devon asked as his eyes filled with tears. 

"Finally! I thought I'd have to explain it to you" Julio shakes his head. 

The smoke around his and turned into an aura. 

"Isn't this beautiful?" He asks sisterly as he motions his hand towards the 5 capsules holding the humans. When he moved his hand, the dark Aura left a trail of purple aura behind. 

"You're a monster" Devon growled.  "I've been called much, much worse" Julio admits as he shrugs. 

He moves his hand out towards devon as he takes a step forward. 

"Join me!" He gives him the same warm smile he'd always give Devon when eh was sad, a smile hat once would make him blush and smile,  at that moment all his worried would wash away. 

But not now, this was not the Julio he once knew and loved. This a demon who is simply processing his past friend. 

"What d-did you do with Julio?" He says in a disgusted tone. "Devon, please... I'm still the same Julio you once knew" Julio tried to convince Devon, but he wasn't buying it. 

"Drop the act you evil piece of shit" Devon spat in anger. 

He didn't eve want to face the fact that this might actually be his friend. How he might have always possessed this black magic. That everything he ever thought he knew about Julio was an act. 

"I didn't want to do this, cause I did like you Devon. But if you don't join me then this is my only option" He tells Devon as the aura around his hand swirls and turns into a lethal deadly sword. 

He aims it at Devon and sends it rapidly flying towards him. 

But the sword stopped as it started o pierce the surface of Devon's shirt. Jordan appeared, holding the sword, holding on as tight as he can in the grip of the sword. 

"Hey Tomahawk, remember to leave your back door locked, yeah?" Jordan smirks as he swings the sword around and towards Julio. He ducks and the sword vanishes into thin air after it passes over Julio's body. 

Will grab Devon's hand. "We need to get out of here" Will insists as they turn to face the door Devon had previously phased through. 

"Oh no, I can't let you leave, not after seeing what you did" Julio says as he sends black smoke circling around the three boy's bodies. 

Will quickly shift into cat form, escaping the smoke and going behind some crates. 

Devon and Jordan were floated into the air, unable to escape the smoke that covered their body. "Come with me" he levitated Devon and Jordan towards the capsule. He moved his other hand and 2 of the capsules doors crhased open, the bodies that were preivously in there fell the the floor and Devon and jordan struggled but were placed into the capsulses and |Julio snapped the door shut. 

The two boys quickly went uncious.
