Chi Yi's POV

We arrived at the infirmary. It was blinding white and was filled with beds and people. It looked more like a mini hospital. There were drawers and cabinets everywhere. Martin looked around and called someone.

"Kelian! Eve!" A 12 year old boy with sandy blonde hair and emerald green eyes ran over to us, followed by a girl who looked 15 and had brunette hair with brown eyes.

"Eve, treat the girl. Kelian, get Igor to Private Room 1." Kelian and Eve obeyed and I scoffed,

"I have a name, you know! It's Cassendra." He ignored me and squeezed past random people. Eve asked,

"New demigod, huh? Your parents send you here or you found this yourself?" I never knew my parents, they were killed when I was barely a year old. My mom sent me to live with Ally before she died. And technically, I didn't find it myself, I just followed the trident. They were the words permanently tattooed on my left arm: Follow the trident. Plus, I was being chased by the Blakks and Aquito.

"I was led here, by a floating trident." Eve smiled nicely and asked,

"Your dad is probably Poseidon then. Can you drink all of this?" She gave me a shot glass half full with something that looked like a bit like whiskey. Anyways, I didn't drink anything for 2 days, so I nodded and I took all of it at one go, and instantly regretted it. It tasted so good, like a chocolate chip milkshake sliding down my throat. It was heaven to my throat.

"What's this?" I asked. Eve replied,

"Nectar, it's the food of the gods. We demigods can only take a bit before we go up in flames, so I advise you don't drink too much of it. It heals wounds to. Look at your cut." I looked at it and saw that it was healed completely. Just then, I saw a 15 year old walk into the room. He had this surfer dude look, with blue eyes and blond hair. He smiled at me and kissed Eve's cheek.

"Hey baby, you ready for tonight's date? Everything's prepared." She kissed him and they kissed on the lips for a while, which was kinda gross for me. Eve finally broke the kiss and told him,

"Striker, I'll come, but I'm busy now, ok?" He kissed her cheek and responded,

"Okay." He left the infirmary. I asked,

"Who's that guy?" She replied,

"Striker, my boyfriend. He's head counsellor for the Poseidon Cabin." She tended to my other wounds and soon, I was free to go. I followed Anthony out of the infirmary.

"So Chi Yi, what happened to you after the torture?" I shuddered and replied,

"I was kept as a test subject. The Shadow Clan could't get me because I was surrounded with a lot of Dark Water. They tried to ghoul me in many ways, but they all failed. Except once." I shuddered at that torturing thought.

"THEY GHOULED YOU?!" He yelled. I replied?

"Yes, now keep quiet!" He looked into my blue eyes and asked me,

"How?! When?!? I swear, I'll kill those Blakks!! Are you healed now?" I responded,

"Yes. I found an experienced Healer. I still remember her name, it was Sam Gray."

Leo S: WHAT

Chi Yi: :P

"Sam Gray? I think I know her, she was Alana's healer friend. Leo told me. She should really work here, if she wanted to. She's a good healer, the Authors and I had a mission there and we were really banged up, they healed us in minutes." All of the sudden, I heard Ally's voice in my head.

Chi Yi? Can you hear me? This is Ally.

I gasped, and Anthony looked at me questionably. He asked,

"Are you okay?" I replied,

"Ally just mind messaged me-" I was about to continue just as Anthony cut me off by pointing at something above my head. I looked up.

I was claimed by Poseidon.

After 3 hours...

Martin's POV

I watched Ally as she slept peacefully, her fever going down. How did Ally suddenly wake up to defend that demigod and faint again when she was done? I tried to think, but my thoughts always turned back to Ally's sapphire blue eyes. I sat by Ally and held her limp hand as her chest went up and down slowly. I was immediately pulled into a flashback.

We were 10 years old, and this was Ally's last day as a normal person. Before she joined her best friends and started to defend Slugterra like her parents wanted her to before they died. We were sitting on top of a grassy hill, admiring the glittering swimming pool and the backyard of my house, where me and my uncle lived. I knew my father was a god, but I had to keep it from everyone. Only my uncle knew. From the window, we could see the crimson couch and the crackling fireplace, the place where we burn food for the gods. For the first time, Ally was sleeping over at my house. My uncle was delighted, because he thought Ally could help me in life. Ally was leaning on my shoulder, like we did as friends. Even though it wasn't anything to her, it was everything to me. I could envision a future for us, us married, us parents of two children as beautiful as her. My heart thumped rapidly as Ally snuggled up my shoulder like she was tired. She sighed and asked,

"Marty?" She looked up to me and asked,

"Do you remember how much we all used to have water fights in that very swimming pool in the backyard? When we were 8?" I smiled and responded,

"Of course, Amazon. You would always win. Why?" She replied,

"I can imagine you and the others, having a water fight, but I'm not there because I'm off somewhere defending some cavern from some criminals." I told her,

"We don't even have water fights anymore, what's the fun of it if you're not there to wreck everyone?" We laughed at that fact and she sighed.

"In the future, I'll be known as Ally, part of a group of four who save Slugterra everyday. We four will be looked up upon, be the role models of many. I can see it now. But Marty..." She took in a shaky breath and said,

"Remember me for who I really am. The playful, chill Ally who likes water fights and hates homework. Not one of the four saving heroes that send criminals to jail. Remember me as that person, the Ally that hates homework. Don't remember me as one of the 4 Slugterra Saviours. Remember the true me." Then I felt her snuggle into my shoulder more and her breathing turned into deep and slow ones. Her sapphire blue eyes were closed and she said no more. She had fell asleep.

"I remember the true you." I whispered. I heard a knock on the door and I rushed to it. I opened it and saw a demigod standing there. Both her eyes and hair were dark chocolate brown. She was the person who got claimed by Hades.

"Crystine? What are you doing here-" That's when I saw that she was holding the hand of a child. She had red hair and sea green eyes. She smiled at me and asked,

"Martin? Is Ally here?" She asked. I couldn't help but smile.

Leo S: CHU FINALLEH SMILE

Igor: THIS REQUIRES A CELEBRATION

Leo S: *pops party cracker*

She reminded me of Ally when she was seven. When we first met.

"Look who finally smiled!" I heard a familiar voice cheer. Igor stood behind Crystine and Kayla, grinning wider than he ever did.

"Shut up Igor." He smirked and walked away, checking a medical chart. I let in Crystine and Kayla and closed the door. Kayla ran to Ally's side and sat on the chair.

"Ally?" She asked. She didn't move. She shook her, but she didn't wake. Tears welled up in my eyes as I relieved the moments of my mother's death.

We were standing outside of a post office shop near an alleyway. I was holding my mother's hand, a grin in my face as I shifted my school bag. It was my last day of school and we needed to cross the road.

"Mummy, when I come home, can we have your homemade roasted chicken? Please?" I asked eagerly and showed her those puppy eyes she loved so much. She chuckled and ruffled my hair.

"Of course, let's buy a big fat chicken when on the way home." I grinned and said,

"Thank you, Mummy! You're the best mom in Slugterra!" I hugged her and crossed the road. I didn't know there that was a speeding mecha beast which was going to hit me until my mother yelled,

"MARTIN, WATCH OUT!!" Before I could react, she leaot to me and pushed me onto the sidewalk, and got hit my the speeding mechabeast. I got up and turned around to a scene of horror.

"Martin!!" Crystine yelled. I snapped back into reality and saw Ally still unconscious. Kayla was looking at me, her eyes filled with concern and confusion. I noticed that tears were streaming down my cheeks. I wiped them off and walked to the sink.

"Martin? Are you okay? What happened?" I didn't reply, I just washed my face with water and shut out everyone else. My mother's death scarred me too much. The only person I told about my mother's death was Ally.

Leo S: Naturally

Ashley: Cute :3

I shut the tap and wiped my face with a paper towel and threw it in the bin. Crystine asked,

"Are you fine now?" I took in a shaky breath and nodded. Kayla asked,

"Do you need a hug?" I smiled weakly at her and replied,

"I'm fine, Kayla." I got two more chairs for Crystine and Kayla, then I sat down on mine.

"Ok, so I think you want questions answered, right?" Crystine shook her head as Kayla started drawing on a sketchbook she got. Crystine replied,

"No, I have to tell you something. Igor told me you loved Ally. Not like I needed to be told that, I could see how much you care for her." I blushed slightly and Kayla giggled. Crystine smiled at her and continued.

"I know who stabbed Ally." I rose to my feet. Kayla looked at me questionably and Crystine told me,

"It was Aquito Shadow. He was about to stab me with a red dagger, but she jumped in the way. Then she knocked out Aquito and ran to the battlefield, telling me she suffered worse." A loud growl escaped my mouth as my body filled with anger and resent. How could Aquito do this?!

"WHAT?!" I yelled. I heard footsteps behind me and I saw Ally on her feet, finding her daggers. She looked at me and asked,

"Martin, where are my daggers?" She asked. I expected her to strangle me or kill me with her bare hands, to at least shout at me. But she just looked at me like I was a normal person. Just then, she stumbled and I caught her before she reached the floor.

"Ally, you can't walk yet." I told her firmly, wondering where my sudden courage came from. Ally sighed and waved me off dismissively.

"I'm gonna be fine, Marty, I'm not as weak as you think." She told me and got up, but I carried her and put her back down.

"You are staying in bed until tomorrow. You're lacking too much energy." Crystine told me,

"Let Ally stand and roam, then let her see the consequences-" I unsheathed my own Vitalis Crystal dagger and in seconds, I had pinned her to the wall and my dagger was so close to her neck, she couldn't talk without cutting her throat halfway off. I growled in pure fury.

"YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT ALLY THAT WAY, YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE DAUGHTER OF HADES!" I felt a force taking away my dagger and hands pushing me to the ground. I saw Ally in front of Crystine.

"Martin, calm down! She's right, I walk, I face the consequences, and you're scaring the living Hades out of Kayla! Look at the poor girl!" I turned around to see Kayla cowering in fear in a corner. Ally glared at me before walking to Kayla. She brought Kayla close to her and hugged her. Kayla cried into her shirt and Ally patted her back, saying words that calmed Kayla down. After a few minutes, Ally carried Kayla in her arms and handed her to Crystine.

"She's asleep." She told Crystine and she nodded and left. Then she glared at me and asked,

"Why did you have to attack Crystine? That wasn't even an insult." She teleported to the cabinets and started searching for her daggers.

"Martin, can you be a nice person and tell me where my daggers are?" I replied,

"No. And I attacked Crystine because she was asking you to weaken yourself more, and your energy level is not up to your usual level." She finished searching the cabinets and told me,

"I don't need to be at my top. By the way, how long was I unconscious?" She started searching the closets. That's when I grabbed her hand and pulled her close to me. Her chest was touching mine, I could see her eyes on complete detail. Her eyes weren't just sapphire blue. They had a slight sea green tinge, probably because of Poseidon. The sea green tinge acted like a border or a gate around the mixed shades of blue, peaceful on the outside, but inside, they were fighting to the death. I saw sapphire blue, sky blue, turquiose, baby blue, ultramarine, ocean blue, cyan blue, neon blue, all clashed together, engaged in a deadly fight. It was amazing looking into her eyes., but despite the amazing battles in her eyes, I could see how dull the surface became, how glazed over they were, how drained they seemed.

"You've been unconscious for three days, but you still look tired." I whispered, concern lacing my voice. She pulled away from me and exclaimed,

"Three days?! What about the invasion, and Leo-" I interrupted her with a hand and reassured her,

"We won, and Leo's already out and about, because he didn't wake up suddenly and attacked someone. Relax for once." I saw the tiredness in her eyes, the longing to sleep peacefully. I narrowed my eyes and asked her with concern,

"How long haven't you been sleeping?" She denied,

"I have been sleeping regularly, why?" I got a mirror from one of the cabinets and gave it to her.

"Look at your eyebags, Ally! How long haven't you slept?! Tell me!" I demanded with concern and slight anger. She growled and with a defeated sigh, she plopped down onto her bed and murmered,,

"Ever since I died." I gasped. She didn't sleep for a year, and when she could, she didn't. Why?

"You idiot..." I muttered. She groaned and reasoned,

"You're the real idiot here, Marty, there's a war going on, and I'm a Commander of an army. If I die before the war is over, the Warriors of Hades go back tot eh Underworld. I can't sleep without someone trying to murder me." That's when I saw the pain in her eyes. The mental pain that kept her up all night. The mental pain that was put there by her time of torture. The mental pain that tried to drive her insane everytime she closed her eyes.

"You couldn't sleep due to nightmares. Is it true?" She lied,

"No. I told you the reason." I glared at her and she sighed again. I scooted closer to her, which was a brave move for me, because my heart was poinding in my chest, and all my senses screamed Tell her you love her!! Bringing my voice down to a low whisper, I muttered loud enough for only her to hear.

"Tell me the truth." She groaned and responded angrily,

"Yes! Now leave me alone." I sat down next to her and put an arm around her. She tried to scoot away, but I pulled her close to me. She avoided my eyes and I asked her,

"Ally, why didn't you tell anyone from the Apollo cabin? They would gladly give you some sleeping potion, and we have morphling in our storage lockers. Igor and I would give them to you, or Eve. You could ask the Hypnos cabin too, they have sleeping potions, and just being in there is gonna make you sleep in no time." She tucked a stray lock of her beautiful brown hair behind her ear and informed me,

"These nightmares remind me how I can't ever truly escape. And they'll never go away, no matter what I do. It's nice you're trying to help, but they'll never go away." I got up and got some Sleeping Potion from the concealed drawer under the table. It was enough for a few hours sleep.

"Martin, you can't make me drink that." She looked angry, almost scared. Her expression showes surprise, anger, fear. Then she told me,

"If you were ever my friend, you wouldn't force me to drink that." I was about to protest when all of the sudden, Ally gasped.

"Cassendra." She muttered and looked towards the concealed drawer, which was open. Her daggers and blaster were inside. Before I could stop her, she grabbed them and teleported away. I groaned.

"Ally!" I yelled and ran out the door and after her.

Leo S: NOW SHE FORGIVES HIM

Chi Yi: At least she did forgive him, the Mally door is open :D

JBV'S POV

I was showing Cassendra the lake, the favorite place for children of Poseidon. I needed to get my mind of things. She seemed interested in everything, just like Ally, before she became a complete asshole. She asked,

"I sense Ally's presence here. It's slightly worn off and old, but she used to be here. Right there." She pointed at a particular spot, near a rock and a few meters away from the lake and near a few trees. Exactly where Martin had been staring this whole time he's been depressed. Igor told me he was always looking there, and tears would form in his eyes. The person who asked him what was so special about that spot is still in the infirmary recovering from his wounds, according to Rafe.

"Yeah, what about it?" I asked curiously. She asked,

"Isn't that the spot Martin always looks at? The spot that Martin keeps everyone away from?" Now that I thought of it, it was. Ally and Martin must have some good times there. I may not be as smart as a child of Athena, but I figured that Martin had this immensely huge crush on Ally. He took crush on the next level. But before I could reply, Blakks appeared out of nowhere and gagged both of us. I was gagged by Brandon and Cassendra was gagged by Emily and Pyrono.

"You're coming with me, missy!" Emily yelled. Completely on instinct, I heeled Brandon in the balls and he fell back, groaning. Cassendra tried to imitate me, but she was already near to being unconscious. Pyrono smiled as he aimed a wand at me and yelled,

"Stupefy!" I felt the spell hit me and remembered no more.

Ally's POV

I arrived at the lake to find Valdezi unconscious and footsteps leading to the forest. I felt Cassendra's fading presense and growled when I noticed something foul. Dark Energy. A Blakk or Aquito was here. I looked at Martin. I saw sorrow in his dark chocolate brown eyes. I expected to see humour and smiles, but instead I saw so much sorrow and sadness, too much for a normal 12 year old to handle. It was even more than I have ever saw in my entire life. My heart ached to see all this sorrow in one person. His hair was umkempt and disarray, and he looked like he cried himself to sleep every night. He was awfully thin, like he haven't ate. Martin took out a wand and pointed at Valdezi. He muttered something and a streak of light hit Valdezi. He stirred and sat up, then he asked,

"What happened?" Martin replied,

"You were Stunned and Ally had the instinct that someone was going to come here." My heart was pumping rapidly in my chest as I panicked over the fate of my cousin. When I finally calmdd down, I told them,

"We need to rescue Cassendra. She's my cousin. I'll gather a few of the soldiers." I ran to the cabin for the Hades Warriors and went inside. Leo was sleeping on the couch. Esther, who was a mother, was looking at pictures of her and her son. Amanda, who was also a mother, was sharpening her dagger. The rest were nowhere to be seen.

"WARRIORS!" I yelled on top of my lungs. In seconds, all of the warriors were downstairs and in front of me. I told them,

"A demigod has be captured by the Blakks. I need a few people to join me to get them back. I pick Leo Shane, Junjie, Amanda Storm, Esther Valdezi, and lastly, Edmund Davidson."

Striker: :O

JBV: OoO
