Chapter 3

Sky POV~

I burst into Seto's lab once again. The rest of Team Crafted was behind me. At first, we didn't see Seto, but then we found him passed out, asleep, on a desk.
"It looks like he accidentally spilled a sleeping potion on himself." Jerome said, pointing at the bottle on the table next to Seto's hand. It had a crack in it, and some of the potion was still pooled around it.
"Well, someone go get some water! We need to wake him up!" I said, and Mitch walked over to the sink and filled a bottle with some water.
"If you would do the honors." He said, presenting the bottle to me.
"Why thank you, good sir." I said in a fake British accent and accepting the bottle. I promptly poured the water over Seto's head, and he jolted awake, gasping. Seto looked around, confused, as everyone laughed.
"Thanks for waking me up." He said, finally realizing what had happened and using a spell to dry himself off. "What day is it?"
I told him, and he looked relieved.
"Good, I was only asleep for a couple of hours. Now, because you are back, I presume you found that Deadlox fellow." Seto asked me.
"Well, yes and no. We found him in the jungle, but he ran off, but we do know his eye color." I told him.
"Great, now I can find him!" Seto exclaimed, and walked over to a curtain he had on the wall. He pulled aside the curtain to reveal an alcove with a giant bowl full of silvery liquid.
"Now, I'm going to have to ask everyone to wait outside. This spell needs concentration and I can't have all of you in here making noise!" Seto exclaimed, and shooed everyone out of the room except for me, Jason, Mitch and Jerome. "Now, what is his eye color?"
"Maroon." Jerome answered.
Seto waved his arms around above the bowl, muttering something. Suddenly, the silvery liquid rose up and changed colors, eventually settling into a picture of Deadlox crouched at the trunk of a tree behind some bushes, looking at something. He was grinning, and then he lit a match, using it to light a fuse that was by his feet.
"Zoom out so we can see what he's looking at!" I told Seto urgently, and he zoomed the picture out to reveal a squid base in the jungle. There was TNT scattered all over it, and the few squids that weren't injured were trying to get rid of them and failing. In their haste, they kept tripping and dropping the TNT. Then, the entire base blew up. We heard chears, and zoomed back in to see Deadlox jumping up and down happily.
"Take that, you jerks!" He yelled at the flaming remains of the fortress, and then he took off into the jungle.
"Do you think you can teleport him here?" I asked Seto quietly.
"Yea, give me a second. You all might want to step back." Seto warned us, and we all moved back a few paces.
Seto backed up a step as well, and then pointed at the bowl, muttering some more. Suddenly, the figure running in the image above the bowl was jumping into the room.
"What the-" Deadlox started to say, looking around. He saw us standing there, and his eyes narrowed. "Oh, it's you guys again. Didn't I tell you to leave me alone?" He said angrily.
"I just want to ask you something!" I told him, trying to calm him down.
"Well? Ask me!" Deadlox demanded.
"Would you like to join the Sky Army? We could use your help fighting against the squids." I told him.
"Hah! Yeah right! I don't work with others." Deadlox laughed.
"Are you sure?" I persisted.
"Yeah. Besides, I'm too powerful. I'd give one side too much of an advantage, so the squids are always after me. If I joined you, it would pretty much declare war." He told me with a sad grin. "You guys seem nice and all, but trust me. It's for the best."
"If you haven't noticed, the squids already have declared war!" I argued.
"Yeah, against you. Not my people." Deadlox said back. "Deadlox isn't even my real name. It's just one of my many names. I'm called Deadlox, Ty Lox, and back home..." He trailed off, looking towards the window.
"What do you mean, your people? And didn't you declare war on the squids by blowing up that base?" I asked him.
"No. That was revenge because they had tried to capture me. They attack me, I attack them. It's always been like that, and the only one of my people the squids have ever attacked is me." Deadlox or Ty answered as he began to walk towards the window. I think I'll just call him Deadlox.
Deadlox opened the window, and turned back to us. "Bye." He said, and then he fell back, over the edge of the window. I reached it in time to see something black and purple folding into Deadlox's back, and then he was running back towards the jungle, moving faster than any speed potion. In moments, he was gone.
"What was that?" Jerome broke the silence.
"I don't know." I answered, and we turned to Seto. His face was as white as a sheet. "Seto?" I asked cautiously.
"I think... I think that was..." Seto stuttered, shocked.
"That was what?" I prompted.
"... Enderlox."
