Lachlan had blinked, and suddenly he wasn't in the safety of Bella's home any more.Instead, he was standing completely still, dazed from the sudden teleportation, and was currently having a pale hand wafted in front of his face.

"YO! Lachlan, you there buddy?"

Rob called, removing his hand, and watched as his tall friend blinked back into reality, looking completely confused much like the rest of them, who were all watching from behind Rob and smiling when Lachlan finally responded.

"Uhh-yeah sorry guys i lost it for a second there...everyone okay?"

He looked around to everyone, before his eyes rested on Jerome.

"Hey! Jerome, what are your powers like?"

Everyone turned, looking like exited children towards Jerome.

"It's so weird...my vision is so much clearer now, and my colour blindness is completely gone...but i can almost-feel the wind better? that sound strange, but i really do!"

He looked desperately at Mitch, who just clapped him on the shoulders.

"Don't worry biggums!  When we all get our powers, im sure we will all have strange experiences."

With a huge grin, he took his best friend by the hand and started pulling him towards the temple.However, Jerome stopped him suddenly and let his hand slip back to his side.He noticed Mitch's look of confusion, by tried his hardest to ignore it as the others stood still behind him.

"I wanted to see what i can do first, maybe it could be useful in case we encounter anything.After all...we are completely defenceless."

The others looked at each other and their surroundings in dismay, looking for any sort of weapon that may stand out.Rob bent down, and picked up a rock with a clawed grip.

"I got a rock?"

He offered, but Preston just laughed at him and batted the thing out of his hands, making it crumble onto the floor.

"So...what do you think you'll be able to do Jerome?"

Lachlan asked, all eyes back on the Bacca. He thought for a moment, before jumping into the air.

He hovered slightly, before his feet hit the floor.He smiled slightly at the tiny discovery, and tried again.He jumped, but this time, he didn't land and instead flew straight up into the air, floating seemingly effortlessly about ten feet above them.

Mitch whooped in delight, whilst the others gave small shouts of encouragement, or clapping.Jerome bowed, before coming to rest gently beside Mitch one more.

Now grounded, they turned on their heels and entered the open temple.It was incredibly dark, the temple being in a dark farland maze wall after all, but there were five small radiations of light coming from the centre of the room.They moved slowly, and carefully, until they approached the glowing orbs.

Stones.

"They are just like the stone that Bella placed in my palm when she was transferring my powers...so what now?"

"We just...take one? take one each, and see if it effects anyone...i guess."

Preston declared, and the others nodded.

Rob grabbed a blue one.
Preston grabbed a white one.
Vikk grabbed a yellow one.
Lachlan grabbed a green one.
And Mitch grabbed a red one.

They each held them for a moment, looking at Jerome expectantly.He shrugged, before saying;

"Something should have happened by now, anyone feel any tingling or odd connections?"

Everyone shook their heads.
