(Sky's POV)

"Come on guys. I have an idea of how we can figure out where Ty is." I said, motioning the guys out of the armory. They all exchanged confused thoughts.

"Um...Sky? How exactly are we going to do that?" Jason asked.

"You have a screw loose Sky. How are we going to figure out where the squid's base is?" Jerome exclaimed, looking a Mitch to back him up. Mitch just shrugged.

My face turned from determination to frustration and horror. How could these people be doubting me?!

"I'll explain on the way, come on-" I whined. "If it doesn't work it doesn't work! Come on, when have I ever given you a reason to doubt me?" I asked, and Ian murmured something into Mitch's ear, which made him snicker.

"What?" I asked, irritated.

"Remember the time when you thought it would be a good idea for all of us to dress up as herobrine and scare Ty? Yea, I still have the scare from his sword you know." Mitch said, laughing as he pulled up the white sleeve on his arm to show a scar about 2 inches long running up his arm. I rolled my eyes.

"Should I mention that was a Halloween prank? And that was more than 10 years ago?" I said, and Mitch just shrugged, smiling. I rolled my eyes, and walked out of the room, everyone else following me.

I lead them to the screening room, a place where we could record messages for the recruits and show them on all devices with a flick of a switch. It was a large room, filled with all sorts of different gadgets and gizmos. It had been designed by some of the smartest recruits we had, and it never failed to impress. I had them crowd around a semi large television screen. I looked down at the control panel below it, and hit a large blue button.

"I'm confused Sky, what are you doing?" Ian asked, looking over my shoulder.

"I'm trying to call the squids." I said casually. I was met with 4 loud gasps.

"Sky, now your just being stupid! The squids aren't going to answer a call from-" Jason exclaimed, but was quickly silenced when a large blue blob appeared on our screen. The squid mayor smirked at us, and folded his tentacles neatly on his desk.

"Ah, hello Sky army. What do we owe this great pleasure?" He said sarcastically. I huffed.

"Forget the act Squillium. Where's our friend?" I asked angrily, pounding my fist on the motherboard. The squid smiled.

"Oh, you mean him?" The squid said, turning the camera view to a dark picture of someone laying miserably in a cell. We all gasped.

"What have you done to him!" I screamed, tears forming in the edges of my eyes.

The squid laughed evilly.

"You really think we are stupid enough to tell you that? Well, we aren't stooping that low."

"Really? I mean, you've done it before." Mitch said with a straight face, his arms crossed. Jerome laughed.

The squid rolled his eyes at Mitch's snarky comment, and turned his focus back to me.

"Well, it was a nice chat with you Sky, but I must get back to my duties, as I suggest you do as well. But if you really want your friend back, alive anyway, I would try to get here in about 2 weeks or less. Who knows how long it will take him to change." My eyes grew wide.

"What do you-!"

Before I was able to finish however, the squid waved goodbye and stopped the web cam. I swore and turned around and faced the others.

We all just looked at each other in shock and silence, confused and worried about what the squids meant by, "who knows how long it will take him to change."
