Ty gripped onto Quentin's arms, flying over the jungle, he looked around. His eyes glow lightly, his vision stretching out to the jungle floor till he spots Jason running.

"I see Jason," Ty said.

"How?! That jungle is thick." Quentin said.

"I'll explain later, I'll drop you off by Jason," Ty said before he flew down and then dropped Quentin a few feet from the ground. Ty flew on ahead, hearing fighting, but he slowed down feeling a burst of dark energy behind him. He stopped and turned around. 'No...That can't be—' Ty cut off his thoughts and turned around.

"He's this way!" Ty yelled as he flew over Jason and Quentin. They both stopped.

"I'll tell them, you go help Ty," Quentin said going towards the fighting. Jason turned around and followed Ty.

Ty slowed up as he drew near Ravencross, he let his vision extend ahead again, he saw Tristan and Asthie. His hands clenched into fists. Asthie had tear tracks on her cheeks. Tristan grabbed her hair, pulling on it making her yelp.

"Do it, now!" He yelled. Asthie began to shake.

"B-But J-Jimmy—"

"Who cares about that traitor?! Do the spell or I'll make sure Harvey dies." Tristan snapped at the child. Ash's eyes widen and her eyes welt in tears. He whacked her in the face, knocking her down. "Stop crying! Revive Vincent, now!" She was yanked on her feet, she put her hands out, Tristan having a grip on her hair, her hands glowed over the coffin in front of her. The charging stones started to float up, glowing. Ty flew in, tackling Tristan down and away from Asthie. Ty gets up, trying to go to his sister but his tail was yanked back making him fall back. He dodged a knife, Tristan pinning Ty's right wing with his leg. He grabs Ty's arms, his hands and eyes glowing.

"You will not interrupt!" Tristan shouted. Ty struggled, moving out of the way of a spell. Jason tackled Tristan off of Ty. Tristan whacked Jason, making him fly into a tree. Tristan gets up and flicked a spell at him. Jason barely recovered from the previous hit, he looked at Tristan, he saw the spell and couldn't get up.

"Jason!" Ty shouted before someone jumped in front of Jason, redirecting the spell. Jason looked at Sky standing in front of him.

"Adam, I—"

"Rest, Jason. You stay there." Adam said to him. Jason looked away. Ty looked over at Asthie, he gets up and runs over to her as the last charging stone lost its glow. Ty caught Asthie as she fainted.

"Ash!" Ty said. The coffin glowed, Ty picked Asthie up and jumped backward away from the coffin, holding his sister. "Oh no." Ty looked at Adam and Cassandra. Adam grabbed Cassandra as she tried to do something. Ty backed up more. 'We have to leave, now! We can't do anything to stop that!' Ty thought. Ty looked at his friends. "We have to leave now!" Adam nodded. Ty flew up into the air and the others got up and took off away. Tristan put his hand up at the dark mages.

"Let them go! Let them go. We have other matters to attend to now." Tristan said as the coffin top flew off.

"Is that gonna work?" Brice asked Adam. Cassandra's hand over Seto's arm, her eyes glowing and her hand giving off an aura. Rosani touched Seto's arm.

"Har—Seto, wake up. We need you, now." Rosani said. Adam and the others gathered around the bed. Seto groaned and turned his head. She smiled, she sat on the bed, her hand touching his cheek, she turned his head. "Come on. I know you are exhausted. But...Vincent was just revived."

"Don't say that, you'll freak him out." Cassandra said looking at Rosani. Seto's eyes cracked open, his vision was blurred, but he blinked a few times to clear it. Rosani smiled, her thumb caressed his cheek. Rosani looked at the others, they are in Sacura, in the castle's infirmary ward. Ty, Statilia, and Asthie being the only ones gone as Ty took Ash home for healing with Statilia's help.

"Can you guys give us some space?" She asked.

"Sure," Cassandra said. She gets up, kicking everyone away, leaving them alone. Rosani looks back at Seto. Seto sat up, Rosani putting her arms around him so he is balanced.

"Whoa, give yourself a few minutes." She said. Seto looked at Mitch laying in a bed, asleep with his arm wrapped in bandages.

"M-Mit-Mitch. What...What—The ritual." Seto mumbled. He looked at Rosani.

"Um...the ritual worked. Vince is back but—" Seto froze, his eyes widen at her, her voice leaving his hearing. 'Oh god no. No. No. He can't....I...I have to leave. I..I have to—' Jerome shook him. Seto looked at him, wondering when he came in.

"Seto—What's wrong?" Jerome asked. Rosani touched Seto's arm. Seto started to visibly shake, Jerome letting go of him, confused.

"He's gonna kill me. He's...He's unbeatable. He's gonna finish the job this time. He won't stop till I'm dead and everyone who is close to me is d-dead. Oh god, I don't w-want to be some puppet again! He's—" Jerome grabbed his arms and shook him, gripping Seto's arms in his paws.

"Seto, get a hold of yourself!" Jerome shouted at him. "You're not gonna die! No one is gonna die but him because you are gonna beat him." Seto stared at Jerome, still shaking and fear written in his eyes. 'I've never seen Seto like this before.' Jerome thought.  Rosani touched Jerome's arm.

"Let me." She whispered. He looked at her and back to Seto. Jerome let go of Seto, she touched his arms. She tried to calm him down, but Seto sat there, shaking with this terrific look in his eyes. Jerome looked at Ian and Adam. Rosani puts her arms around Seto, pulling his back against her chest.

"Calm down, he's not here right now." She said. Cassandra went to Seto's side, trying to calm him down as well. Cassandra touched Seto's arm, feeling him shaking in fear. She looked at Adam.

"It is no use. Seto is afraid of his father, deathly afraid. You have to get some other mage to take out Vincent Magi." Cassandra said.

"What other mage is there?" Sky asked. Cassandra looked at Seto.

"I don't know. But, Seto needs to be out of Vincent's reach, far out of his reach." She said. Rosani hugged Seto tight.

"You're okay, we won't let him get you," Rosani whispered to him. Jerome stood up, he looked at Sky. Sky stared at Seto and then looked at Cassandra.

"Alright, take Seto far away from here. We will deal with Vincent best we can." Sky said. Cassandra stared at Sky, standing up.

"Sky, no offense. But you all don't stand a chance without the aid of magic." Cassandra said as she stood. Sky looked at her.

"I can't ask Seto to help." Sky said. He looked at Seto. 'I can't make him face his father when he is this afraid of him. This is the first time I've ever seen him like this, is Vincent really that powerful?' He thought.

"They will be looking for him," Jerome said.

"I know." Sky said. Sky looked at Seto. Sky looked at Ian. "Ian, you and Rosani take Seto off the mainland and someplace safe and remote. And keep them both safe." Ian nodded.

"Alright, but, what are you gonna do about Vincent and Tristan without Seto to help?"'Ian asked. Sky looked away from him.

"I don't know."
