Dark crashed to the ground. He got up to see Second standing, alive and well. "Impossible!", Dark said.
Chosen charged at Dark, his fist ready to punch. Dark pushed the hand away from his face and threw a huge energy ball straight at Chosen, sending him across and knocking him out.

As he was panting deeply, he ran to Second, grabbed him, and flew off.
"Second!", Green said as he stretched his arm. Green tried to stand up, only for him to feel sudden pain around his wound. He winced and groaned from the pain.

As Dark was flying through the forest...
"Let go of me!", Second shouted.
"Gladly." Dark instantly threw Second to the ground.
Second fell to the ground facefirst. Trying to endure the pain, he pushed himself up slowly with his arms.
Dark kicked him hard, sending Second to a nearby tree.
Under his clenched teeth, Second breathed deeply.
He began to spit out blood as Dark kept kicking him until he passed out.

Blue came out of the forest as he carried Support. "Wh... where's Second?"
He turned to Green, who was covering his face with his hands. "Green?"
Responding, Green turned to Blue. He sighed. "I wish I could've been able to fight. I could've saved him."
"What exactly happened?", Blue asked.
"Second was taken. By Dark.", Green answered as he sighed.

"Wait. Where's Chosen?", Blue asked.
Green pointed to the smoke on the other cliff. Green was left with Support as a worried Blue and a terrified Red ran to the smoke.

They slid down the cliff and eventually landed on a platform on which an unconscious Chosen was laying down.
"Chosen, wake up!", Blue said as he picked up Chosen and shook him back and forth.
Chosen opened his eyes, his vision blurry and Blue and Red's voices muffled to him. He could barely hear Blue calling his name. "What's... happening? Am I dead? My whole body hurts. Where am I?"
"Chosen!", Blue shouted. Chosen jolted. His vision suddenly turned clear, and he could hear as normal. "Man, you had me worried."
"What... happened?", Chosen asked weakly.
"You tell me."

Blue and Red arrived with Chosen.

"Green? What happened to you?", Chosen asked, noticing the cloth Green was pressing on himself.
"This is just a scratch, don't worry.", Green responded.
"He got stabbed.", Red whispered.

Chosen paced. "Where did Dark fly off to?"
"He went there.", Green said, pointing to the forest at his right.
"There?"
"Yeah."
"If I remember correctly, there's a house there."
Chosen flew off to the forest, leaving everyone else behind. He was focused on saving Second.
"Hey, wait!" Red ran, following Chosen. Yellow and Stal followed.
Green struggled to stand up, and Blue helped him up. Warm flew and followed Chosen.
"We can't just... leave Support here. He's still alive, right?", Green asked.
"Yeah, but barely. I'll carry him.", Blue said.

Second opened his eyes. He was sitting on a floor made of stone bricks. The walls were made of the same material. The sound of water flowing echoed through the room. "Where am I?"
He moved his arms, only to be pulled by a rope tied to his wrists.
He kept pulling, but he was unsuccessful.
Water suddenly began pouring in. Second looked up to see a pipe. He struggled harder, beginning to panic.

Chosen and Warm landed beside a river. A house stood across the river.
"So... is that it?"
"Yeah." Chosen flew across and landed in front of the house.

Second kept pulling and pulling. "Hrnnngg! Come on!"
The water has already reached his neck.
He breathed deeply and submerged, and continued pulling.
A few seconds passed and he swam upwards for air. He breathed deeply and submerged again.
Unsuccessful, he swam upwards once again, only for the rope to hold him back. "No! I have to breathe!"
He swam down, placed his feet on the wall, and pulled with both limbs and most of his energy. "Come on!"
The rope finally tore apart. By that time, the water had already filled most of the room.
Trying to release the part of the rope tied to his hands, he moved his hands back and forth rapidly.
Second couldn't hold his breath any longer.
"Forget it, I have to breathe!" He stopped moving his hands and immediately swam upwards for air.
Before he could surface, he drowned.

Chosen smacked the door open.
"Hello, Chosen. You came sooner than I thought."
"Where is Second?" Chosen raised his hand, charging up a fireball.
"That reminds me, he should be dead by now."
"Dark, you MANIAC!!" The fireball became larger as Chosen instantly charged at Dark and threw it at him.
Dark summoned a shield and blocked the fire thrown at him. He slid back due to the force of the fireball. "Come on, is that the best you can do?"
Warm jumped in and threw a fireball right at Dark. Chosen jumped backward, avoiding the fireball. Dark immediately blocked it and summoned a blade on his right hand and a shield on his left.
Warm charged up a fireball on his raised hand, preparing to throw it at Dark. "Chosen! Find Second! I'll deal with him!" Chosen proceeded to do so.
"Ooh. I like your fighting spirit!", Dark said, grinning. "You know, you could work for me."
"Not a chance!" He threw the fireball at Dark. "You destroyed my home!"
"Oh, yeah, I know. It didn't deserve to be in my world. It was horrible to look at."
The fire growing on Warm's hands grew larger due to his rage. He charged at Dark and fought him.

Chosen went upstairs and checked all of the rooms there. "Where the heck are you, Second?"
He looked through a window, scanning anything. He jumped off the window, and walked around.
He kept walking, until he stepped on something and he fell.
He crashed to some water, and immediately surfaced. "Where am I? Wait... is he here?" He inhaled and went underwater.
He found Second, mouth opened, eyes closed, and hands tied.
He grabbed Second and swam upwards, soon surfacing from the water. He then hauled Second out of the water, laid him on the ground, and performed CPR on him, trying to wake him up.
Second snapped into consciousness and coughed, spitting out the water in his lungs.
Second panted and breathed deeply. "Chosen...? You... saved me."
Chosen stayed silent and smiled, relieved that Second was okay. Second pulled Chosen into a hug.

Warm was shouting as he continued battling. "RAAAAAAAHH!"
Dark kept on defense, being pushed back with each fireball being thrown at him.
Warm stopped, exhausted. But he was still glaring at Dark.
Dark took the chance and threw an energy ball at Warm, causing Warm to launch back and hit a wall headfirst, breaking it. He sat on the floor, leaning on the broken wall.
He put his hand on his head as Dark laughed. "You're weak. You're so pathetic. Like you could bring back your home just like that."

Stal entered the house and punched Dark. "We know we can't. You're the pathetic one for thinking that."
Dark grinned, eventually erupting into laughter. "I'm the pathetic one? Well... if you really think that..." He suddenly ran to Stal and punched him hard.
Stal's body must've been literally harder than he thought, because an instant pain came over Dark's hand and wrist.
Stal stepped backwards and directed electricity at Dark, electrocuting him. Dark crashed down, his arms holding him up from falling facefirst.

Chosen kicked Dark and Second punched him. They walked to Stal, standing beside him. Warm stood up and did the same. They were all prepared.
Dark rose and stood up. "Unfair... so unfair.", he said as he wiped off the blood on his mouth, his face showing an angry expression.
