As everyone rises from the depths of the unknown place below the house; We must find genuine answers. They called their parents, but not a ring back was in sight. As the hours passed, time ticked away like lightning. Hours turned into a day, a day into two, two into a week. Panic amongst them ensued. "Where are Mom and Dad?!" yells Tyshawn.

K'lina said, "I have no clue they told me they had family matters to intend to," raising her voice.

Aaliyah sits down on the couch to clear her head. She closes her eyes, then she thinks about what may have happened. As she realized that her parents might have gotten abducted, or worse, may not be alive... Then she told the others. Tyshawn became emotional and enraged... then K'lina noticed something. "His ey- his ey- His eyes are glowing!!" stuttering and yelling.

Suddenly, Tyshawn began spinning like a madman. Some fire began spreading all over his body as his arms and legs glowed brighter and brighter. He soared to the sky like a hawk, spinning uncontrollably. It was as if his arms stretched so far out, and flaming feathers sprang all around him. As Aaliyah was wondering what to do, K'lina was frightened. Then, at just eight years of age, Tyshawn dived to the ground, then jumped right back up, transforming into who he became.

"I am Phoenix," said Tyshawn. The transformation faded away as his rage subsided. "Amazing Ty!" Aaliyah exclaimed. It drained Tyshawn of all energy as he collapses on the ground. Aaliyah runs over to her brother to make sure he's alright. His condition seems to show he'll be out for a while, K'lina says.

In the meantime, while Tyshawn is out cold, Aaliyah looks around the house for the missing books. She searches high in the attic, but all she finds are old boxes. There was nothing useful to be found except some beakers for science experiments and K'lina's incantations. Aaliyah knocked over a box as she left the attic and a note & a key, and a book full of incantation spells fell out of it. It says a spare master key to Crystalville Town Hall. "Hey, this key goes to any door in the town hall. This place is very special to my family because my mother owns this town," whispered Aaliyah.
