Clay Pov:

After the challenge, I got back to my room to see Crystal waiting for me. She jump on my arm and gave me a hug well as close as a hug a lizard can give you.

Clay: We are going to see Neuro. I want to see if he can read your mind so I can find Jestro.

*Time Skip*

Clay: Hey Neuro Can-

Neuro: Can I see into Crystal Mind for you? I can try but the last time I wasn't able to into her mind other then what she thought that day.

When Neuro tried again but when he was done he look kind of scared.

Clay: What did you see?

Neuro: I wasn't able to see your friend but what I saw was a dragon.

Clay: A dragon?

Neuro: Yes a dragon. That properly the reason why I can't read your lizard mind. Dragons are known to be very powerful creatures and your lizard friend might have a connection to them.

Clay: I see. Thank you Neuro

*Time Skip*

Apply after the challenge we had with Lloyd, Chen was holding a great feast. I didn't go for two reasons. One I had a lot on my mind and need time to think while the other reason is I got food poisoning. Apparently I ate something bad yesterday and with what happen with Lloyd challenge my stomach isn't happy too with me.

Jestro Pov:

Monstrux: He not coming back

Jestro: Of course he'll come back. He clay friend.

Monstrux: Are you sure? He could of been lying

Jestro: He wasn't lying. I just know it

Monstrux: Jestro people lie to you all the time. Why is he so different?

Jestro:......

Monstrux: Is it because he said he knows Clay?

Jestro: Just shut up Monstrux.

Monstrux: He not coming back so you should just stop fighting me and let me take control of your body. I will make sure it goes to great use.

Jestro: Can you just leave me alone.

That is when I heard my door open and saw two people enter.

Jestro: You came for me.

Cole: Of course I did but we need to get out of here fast.

Zane: Indeed. The guards will be coming soon and we should leave before we all get caught.

I wall up to them but when I saw there faces turn to shock I realized they saw my arm.

Cole: What happen to your arm?

Jestro: Its Corruption from Monstrux. As long as I get to clay in time I should be fine

Cole: Monstrux? Wait Clay mention him. He that evil book or what ever that been manipulating you and taking control of your life.

Monstrux: It seem he knows his stuff

Jestro: Yes that him.

Zane: How long do you have?

Jestro: As long as I keep fighting, Monstrux won't be able to take my body that easy but I feel like getting weaker by the day.

Cole: Just hang in there. I'm sure we will get you to Clay as soon as we can.

That is when we heard people coming and we got the heck out of there. Of course we ran into Clouse and he as well as other people started chasing us. We were able to loose him through some tunnels but I don't know how long that is going to last.

Zane: Not that way that will only take us back where we started.

Jestro: Do you even know where we are going?

Cole: Maybe you should be leading Zane

That is when we all read a roar.

Jestro: What was that?

Zane: I am not familiar with that sound

Cole: I am. We need to move.

I started following Cole but Zane didn't seem to be moving and he look kind of confused.

Zane: I though I was leading?

Cole: Trust me you want to keep up with us

That is when I turn and saw Zane running from a huge serpent.

Monstrux: Well this just got interesting

Jestro: Shut up Monstrux not now.

We ran but we ended up running into a dead end.

Zane: This isn't a wall. Its the body of a large serpent.

Jestro: How big is this thing.

Cole: Doesn't matter. Come on we have to find another way.

We started running another Direction but the snake kept on following us and all I could here is Monstrux laughing in my head because he is enjoying this.

Cole: Another dead end

Jestro: What are we supposed to do?

Zane: The serpent strategy appears to be to surround us and coil in word. Very Clever.

Monstrux: I can help you know. All you need to do is use my power

Jestro Mind: Never

Cole: Yeah will my strategy is to not be eaten.

The snake then went at us but we dodge it attack. It kept getting closer to us though and giving the look as if we are its next meal.

Cole: It was nice knowing you guys. I think this is really is are dead end.

The snake tried to eat us again but we were able to dodge again.

Cole: I don't suppose you freeze them.

Zane: Chen took my powers like everyone else.

Jestro: I can by us some time but it will cost me. What we really need is find a way out of here.

Zane: Pixal calculate escape scenarios

Cole: Pixal? You got a girl stuck in your head!?

As Zane was trying to find a way for us to escape the snake got closer to us so I use Monstrux power which made the snake scream in pain.

Jestro: We need to go now

That is when Zane put explosive shurikens on the floor. The ground ended up destroying under us making us drop down escape the snake.

Cole: I'm going like the new you.

Zane: We must move quickly

Cole: Right

*Time Skip*

We were able to get to a safe area where we got some rest. That is when I notice that not only my whole arm is now black with class but also it started to spread to my chest and I feel something growing from my back.

Jestro: Um guys

Cole: Oh no Jestro.

Zane: Is this happening because what you did earlier to that snake?

Jestro: Yes. Whenever I use Monstrux powers, the corruption will spread to my body faster and not only that, using that powder makes me tired.

Cole: Then let me carry you. You look like your going to past out any second and we don't want that to happen

Zane: Agree. We have to keep moving.

Jestro: Ok

I ended up getting a piggy back ride by Cole as everything went dark.
