The man stood on the rocks in front of Henry waiting to be killed or to make a truce.

His blonde hair reminded Henry of a part of his childhood he enjoyed.

The times were they would be sent off into the vans as kids and Sammy would teach Henry to put his head out the window like him as the driver would yell every time while driving, telling them to stop!

His arctic blue eyes reminded Henry of the time he asked Sammy if he ate his sandwich and Sammy would always look him in the eyes to lie and say no.

He held up his hand to show Casper the red eye golden ring he had.. Casper held his crossbow even closer when he moved to get the perfect shot..

..It was the red eye?

Heelix pushed Henry in back of him, out the way to throw a sphere into the man's chest as he tried diving.

He died.

Henry panicked.

He hyperventilated and fell to the dirt! Henry began to question the entire mission breathing too heavily. Heelix tried his best to calm down his friend.

"Sammy? But it was Sammy?!"

"Listen to me Casper! You need to stay calm!"

"But Sammy?"

"They're watching Henry! He wasn't going to kill you!"

"What?" Henry said in disbelief and slight grief.

"He was bluffing. He got off the ground as soon as I started shooting the arrows that almost killed you! None of them wanted to kill us!"

Amari looked down at Casper's suit then back up at Heelix.

"Right.. Come on Casper, let's go."

"But I saw Grace die right in front of us!"

"Henry, I said they DIDN'T want to kill us!"

Heelix picked up Casper from the ground and brought him to an empty cave they all slept in for the night.

[In the cave]
"What happened to the team?" Casper asked Heelix. "They all came in to help us, but then left when the fight was over." Heelix answered then continued, "My guess is their sleeping on the mountains." "You missed all the good parts." Amari said to Casper. "By the time the fight with you and.. had already ended, so did our fight."

"Sammy! His name was Sammy Heelix!" Casper shouted, creating a loud echo in the cave.

His body shook with rage.

Amari went over to lay her head on Caper's chest while he was sitting up still in shock about his first day ever he was having at the beach!

They slept.

Grace's team completed the mission.

The plane came early to get the team in the morning.
