"Jay?" I shook my head, "I knew something was up." Panbems were pilled up behind him in rows. "Look, it's not what it seemed-" Jay started, but stopped when a Panbem put a gun next to Jays head. I gasped. "I didn't know..." I whispered. Jays eyes were bulging out, bright and white. The blue eyes that seemed once horrible and killer, now looked harmless and pleading for mercy. "Don't," I started, "I know you're here for me. Here to take me. Like you did my father!" My mind raced to the thought of the Omega Machine, its locked up. It's in a safe. It's fine! The Panbem charged for me, and took the gun with him. I ducked, and ran my sword through its head. Ashley came running in, along with a group including Greyson, Hencio, Unios, and Webeni. "A little help here?!" I yelled to them. They each pointed their guns at the Panbems and walked over to me. A hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me over to the Panbems. I saw Midnight over in another room. Cold metal was harshly pushed on the side of my head. I yelped, "Help me!" I saw Jay by my side. He whispered in my ear, "I'm so sorry. They threatened my mom, and and... Killed my dad. I had too. And I have to do this." He jerked the gun from the Panbem holding me. I ducked and escaped it's grasp. Jay grabbed the gun and pointed it at the Panbems. The portal! The portal. I had totally forgot. I nudged Greyson in the side, and his eyes widened. He was thinking the same thing. We need to protect the portal! We pushed through the crowd of Panbems. We dodged bullets and swinging swords, to the stage. I pushed through the stage door, and ran out, and over to the portal. I quickly punched in the code. We ran inside the small room. "Protect it at all cost!" I ordered Greyson. The door shook, and rattled. "They'll make Jay tell them the code," I whispered. The door creaked up with a squeak. Panbems filled the hallway. Jay looked guiltily at me and Greyson. The fat, green, blacked eyed, leader of the Panbems stepped in the room. He grabbed my sword, and took me by the wrist. Another Panbem did the same to Greyson. "Let them go!" Jay yelled, trying to unleash me. The Panbem leader (Squisher) threw Jay back, knocking Jay out. "Jay!!!" I yelled as I struggled to get away from Squisher grasp, "Let me go you idiots!" "Never!" Squisher chuckled. I struggled more. Greyson actually got out. He ran over to me, but -like Jay- Squtier tossed him aside, like a beachball. He landed in a heep of limps, passes out, and piled on the floor. "Greyson!!!!" I squeak. I stared at them, stranded on the bottom of the floor outside the room. "No!" I yelled, "You won't get away with this!" Squisher chuckled, "I already did, sweetie." I struggled more this time. Squisher types in the number 1576. "I know what this is," he said loud and clearly, "A time portal. A time machine, if you will." Squisher pushed me closer to the side of the portal. "And you get to be the first one to travel back in time!" Squisher chuckled louder than before, "Bye bye, C.J.!" "NO! GREYSON!!!! JAY!!!!!!" I yelled, as Squisher pushed me into the portal, and everything turned into red and black spots.
