Flamara POV

After waiting for a while Blaze returns. "So, what did you find?" I ask him. I see images of our friends in their rooms. "It looks like Khaleesi and Glimmer are in one room and Riff and Jack are in another." I tell Hannah. Blaze looks at me and I hold out my arm. He jumps into the air and lands on my arm, sparks fly, and he returns to the tattoo.

"That is so cool!" Hannah says. "Should I try to reach out to them?"

"If you can." I say. Hannah Closes her eyes. She starts murmuring words, but I can't understand any of them. A couple of awkward minutes go by and Hannah opens her eyes and yells;

"Jack!"

"What? What happened?"

"I was able to reach Jack, we have a pretty strong telepathic bond because he's really the only one I talked to telepathically, but he said a Guard came into his room and then he disappeared." Hannah explains.

"What did he say before that?"

"He said he is in a room with Riff and they saw you're Phoenix but then he was interrupted."

"Did you try anyone else?"

"No, I couldn't find them." Hannah says, she looks disappointed. A guard opens the door behind us.

"You are coming with us, NOW.'' he says. We stand up and allow him to put handcuffs on us. He takes us out of the room and down hallways. I try to remember where he takes us, but I eventually get lost. There are multiple guards surrounding us.

Don't do anything right now, we are way out numbered, let's just do as they say and maybe we will find the others. Hannah says telepathically.

Ok. I say back. Finally, the guards take us to the throne room. They open the doors and tell us to sit in chairs facing the thrones. Our friends come in after us. Glimmer and Khaleesi follow the directions of their guards calmly, but Jack and Riff are more resentful. Jack looks over at Hannah and frowns, she probably told him what she told me, and he didn't like it. I can tell glimmer is in pain when she winces as she sits down.

Kato walks into the room followed by Jane, then Stella walks in with a staff that has Kato's orb at the top. "Welcome to my palace." She says coolly.

"What do you want, Stella." Riff says.

"You will address me as Queen, as you are under my roof." She sneers.

"I will never call you Queen." Jack snaps.

"Oh?" Stella says and walks over to Jack. He sits up straight when she walks over. She whispers something in his ear, and his eyes open wide. "You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?"

"You wouldn't." he says in disbelief.

"You want to test me? With one word I can make it happen." She says. Hannah gasps. "What's wrong sweetheart?" Stella turns from Jack to Hannah.

"How could you even do that? You really are as evil as they say." Hannah says. Stella walks over to Hannah.

"You think I'm evil?" Stella scolds. Hannah nods. "Kato, lets show her what we can do."

"NO!" Jack shouts. All of a sudden Glimmer starts to breath heavily.

"Glimmer, what's wrong?" Khaleesi asks.

"I- I can't- Breath-" Glimmer sputters out. "My head fe-feels so light" She starts to mummer other things, but I can't understand. Then she starts to scream.

"STOP YOUR GOING TO HURT HER!" Khaleesi shouts. Glimmer screaming stops and I hear someone whimper. I look over at Hannah and her face is scrunched up in concentration.

"Get out of MY FRIENDS HEAD" She yells.

"STOP THIS NONSENSE" Stella yells at Kato and Slams the staff on the ground. Glimmer and Hannah look up. "All you will surrender to me or you will suffer, just like your parents."

"Parents?" I dare to ask.

"Yes, your parents. Do you want to see them?" Stella asks, a smirk on her face. She lifts up her staff and a Cage appears before us. All of our parents, the Kings and Queens of all the elements, are in it. "Look at who it is." Our parents try to speak, but she must have done something to make them mute. Their mouths are moving, but no sound comes out.

"Mom?" Jack asks.

"Dad?" I say. Our parents smile, but they all look tired. That is why she separated us, to make it easier to take our parents.

"Give us back our parents Stella." Khaleesi commands.

"What makes you think you can call the shots, you're a nobody." Kato says.

"I am a nobody because of YOU, you tried to kill me out of jealousy, something that started the first war anyway! I have every right to call a shot as you!" Khaleesi remarks.

"Actually, you don't. It was never proven that you are family." Kato taunts.

"Kato, I know this family matter is important to you, but we have other pressing matters right now." Stella says, clearly bored.

"Why don't you two get married now? That would solve both your problems?" Glimmer asks.

"Excuse me?" Stella turns to Glimmer.

"Glimmer, what are you doing? I whisper to her.

"Trust me." She says and winks. "If you and Kato married, then he would be next in line for the Crystallizers, and then you could rule both kingdoms."

"That's not how it works." Stella says bluntly.

"What do you mean?" Glimmer asks. I can see that She is distracting Stella while Khaleesi removes her electric chains and begins to help Riff beside her.

"Well, a Queen cannot rule if she is married." Stella explained.

"Oh, it's the same as earth, except we are now letting women lead. Actually, a country is in better shape when a woman leads, did you know that?" Glimmer says as she gets rid of her own chains.

"No, I do not care for earthen history." Stella says, beginning to get tired of this conversation.

"But doesn't matter anymore, because you are going down." Hannah says and stands up. I stand up next to her, and so does everyone else.

"Oh, you want to do this the hard way." Jane says.

"Fine, let's do this the hard way." Stella says. The cage holding our parents moves, and each pair is separated into their own cage, and they move back.

"Let's do this." Glimmer whispers.
