Grian was panicking, Scar was still laying unconscious and Cub could come back at any moment for him.

He needs to escape...he and Scar need to escape. The weird feeling inside him couldn't leave Scar behind.

'Uh-Think , what to do!, what should I do-'
Grian got an idea.
Really stupid idea but for the time being ,it was the wisest thing to do.

Grian started bumping around hitting the glass walls of the container. Trying to make it move, fell and crash in the end to free himself.

After couple of minutes the water started splashing out and the container started moving back and forth.
'So close '

Grian was aware of the loud noises he would create after smashing the glass but he underestimated the loudness a little bit.

The container fell with the lounge crash sound of shattered glass, which echoes through the room.

'Oh crap.'
Grian thought as he tried to stood up. Now again in his human form with quite a few cuts , he walked towards Scar.

He had a few minutes max before Cub appear. He could feel it.

Grian crouched next to Scar and gently shake him.
"Scar, Scar wake up."

No reaction.
He checked his pulse.
Scar heart was beating slowly.

Grian wrapped his arm around Scar and tried to carry him .Scar was taller and heavier than him, which didn't help.

"Where are you going fishy boy? "

Grian froze he didn't wanted to look behind. He could feel the Sculk Master appearance behind him.

I that second Grian also noticed something. On Scar's neck was a necklace with a weird looking rock or maybe it was crystal. It looked exactly like the sculk that was around and when Cub stepped closer it glowed.

Grian tried to grab it but someone hand stopped him from touching it.

He looked up to see Scar's green eyes looking at him.
"Grian..."

"Yes?"

Scar closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry.."
And pushed Grian away, causing him to fall.

" Did you finally decided on who's side you should be?" Cub smiled showing off white sharp teeth.

He held his hand in front of Scar.
Scar looked at Grian.'Forgive me..'

"S-Scar.."

Grian tried to stop him but his left leg hurt and he couldn't move. A blue crystal thing was trapping him. How didn't he notice it.

Scar took Cub hand.
He made an awful scream as the darkness started covering him.

"No!" Grian yelled, he felt tears falling down.

When the now Sculk Scar looked at him, the eyes were light blue and cold.

"The world will feel the power of darkness."
Cub laughed.

" Now it's your turn fishy boy to be nice and give me your powers."
Cub took a few steps towards Grian.

He took up a crystal form his pocket and when he was really close , unexpected the blue crystals that were trapping Grian disappear and Cub fall down.

"Run G. I'll stop him."

Grian looked at Scar, he was happy to see the truth Scar but quick he stood up even tho he's leg still hut.

"I can't leave you here!"

"I'll be okay. Don't worry ." His eyes changed back to green.
Scar rip his necklaces off and throw it to Grian.

"Scar? But-"

"You traitor!"
Cub yelled as he got up off the floor.

"Go!" Scar yelled blocking Cub's hit.

Grian took the necklace and ran away not worrying about where he was going.

"Gem is this..." Pearl looked at the big dark structure.

"Yes..the Sculk Castle... it's looking slightly different since I last saw it."

"That's because he's powers are stronger than before." Cleo explained, they didn't need to say who was he, everyone already knew.

"Do we really have to go there? We don't even know if Jimmy's brother is there." Budus said.

"That's my brother too."

"Of course he's here. Norman is a very smart warden he can find anything and everything." Tango's hair glow brighter.

"Calm down Tango. We don't want to burn it all... Yet."
Jimmy kneeld and pet Norman.
"Can you smell Grian."

Norman make some noises.
"Oh.. okay."

"What did he said."

"He said we should step away or else."

"What that even means?" Bdubs asked and in that exact moment the whole floor was starting to shake.

"Grian!"
Pearl yelled , she wanted to ran into the castle but Jimmy stopped her and pushed her away.

" We won't save him if we all died."
-------

The walls were shacking.
Grian heard someone yelling his name but he wasn't running towards exit. Scar's necklace started glowing brighter. He was going to save him.

Grian eyes glow as he ran as fast as he could to the room he just ran away from.
He's leg stopped hurting and he felt something like new magic flowing inside him.

He found an old sword laying in one of the rooms he passed, Grian decided to take it with him.

Something tell him that won't be enough to defeat Cub but if he and Scar try together...

The sun will light through the dark.
