Blitz suddenly opens his eyes and soon looks around to find himself in some strange dark abyss. No signs of life, no scenery, not a soul.

"Hello..." Blitz calls out, but his voice echoes.

So far, no one answers.

"Anyone here?!" Blitz calls out.

Again, nothing and no one.

Suddenly, he begins to hear music, more specifically circus music. Blitz becomes confused and wonders where all the music is coming from. Just then, the lights turn on and Blitz finds himself in the center ring of what seems to be a circus, similar to the one his family owns. Soon, there are elephants and horses begin to circle around with the audience watching the show. Just then, a beautiful white horse walks over to Blitz and gently licks him. Blitz giggles a bit and gently pet the horse.

"Hi Blitzo," A familiar voice says.

Blitz becomes shocked and looks to see the person riding on the horse and wearing a circus outfit is...

"Mom...?" Blitz says, shocked.

Indeed, it's Blitz's adopted mother, Lucy.

Lucy reaches her hand towards Blitz, "Come on Blitzo, let's ride."

Blitz smiles and takes his mother's hand. Then rides on the horse behind Lucy. Suddenly, Blitz is now a child from his circus days.

Lucy turns to Blitz and says, "Now say giddy up."

"Giddy up," Blitzo happily says.

Lucy then begins to ride the horse with little Blitz on it. Little Blitz begins to laugh with a smile on his face, laughing. Lucy giggles with a gentle smile on her face.

Soon, he sees Marina dive into the water and her legs are an actual mermaid tail, much to his surprise. However, Marina smiles and swims with the fishes in the largest tank he has ever seen. He then sees his father, and Uncle perform magic with Tim. Andy and Candy performing acrobatic and trapeze. Malcolm is also able to use his body to bend his body in rather impossible places and bends. The animals in the circus are also performing all kinds of tricks and being trained by his aunt. There are even the friends from the circus who are performing the tricks they all know and are having a grand time. Little Blitzo is very happy to see his family performing in the circus being praised by the audience, just like old times. Life in the circus is one of his best times.

But all of the sudden, Blitz finds the scene changes into the circus that is already starting to burn down. Blitz becomes scared and petrified to see the circus is starting to burn. It makes him remember the tragic events that caused his family death. Blitz quickly turns around in shock to see Charlies, Malcolm, and Marina's body lying on the ground, shot dead and bleeding.

"Dad... Malcolm... Marian..." Blitz asks, stunned.

Blitz feels his body shaking and wraps his arms around himself in fear. Suddenly, Blitz remembers.

Blitz cries out, "Mom...! Mom...!"

Soon, Blitz is able to find his mother under the same support beam of the circus tent.

Blitz rushes over, "Mom! Mom!"

Just then, the circus tent begins to fall over and begin to crash towards Blitz. Blitz screams in fear as the entire tent falls down as it burns.

Meanwhile, down the halls of the HQ, Moxxie, Millie, and the others are walking down the halls as they try to find Blitz. They continue to walk down the halls as they still have their disguises on.

"I can't believe this is working so far," Drew softly whispers.

"I know it's a long shot, but it's the only way for us to explore around this place and find Blitz," Berry says.
