Captured By Squids *remake*

Bonus

(Sky's POV)

"Come on guys! We're almost at the cave!" I said excitedly. I was running through the newly growing forest that we had planted, weaving through the young trees. Ty was close behind me, a smile on his face. Jason flew high above the clouds, and Ian was being carried by Jason in one arm, and Seto in the other.

I made it to the cave, and jumped in victory.

"I win again!" I cried happily. Ty ran up next to me, breathing heavily. Jason flew low, and dropped Seto and Ian, who both landed with a thud. He then landed on the ground, and turned off his jetpack. We all walked inside the cave. We had decided to turn the cave into a mini memorial for Jerome and Mitch, because we all knew how much they loved this old place. We all sat in a circle around the small shrine, and took a moment of silence. Then, the story telling began.

"Who wants to share first?" I asked. But before anyone could answer, the cave began shaking.

"What's happening?!" Ty yelled, covering his head. Jason, Ian, and Seto all followed suit. But, the shaking had stopped almost as soon as it had started, and a thick mist began filling the cave. Then, two ghost-looking figured emerged.

"Who...who's there?" I called out. The figured didn't say anything, but I could hear the swish of an axe and the clink of dog tags. The most began to clear, and ten I could see two ghost images of Mitch and Jerome.

"What's up guys!" Jerome said happily.

"Yeah, hey dogs!" Mitch exclaimed. I stared at both of them in amazement.

"This is strangely amazing and terrifying at the same time!" Seto cried.

Ty looked at them, and then quickly looked down at the floor, becoming quiet.

Mitch glided over and sat down next to Ty.

"Ty? What's wrong buddy?" Jerome asked, sitting down on Ty's other unoccupied side. He shrugged.

"I still feel like it's my fault that you guys aren't here anymore. Even if it wasn't me who killed you, it was still...me." Mitch scoffed.

"That's probably the stupidest thing I have heard, and trust me, I've hear a LOT of stupid things. We don't blame you for our deaths Ty. Isn't that right Jerome?" Jerome nodded.  Ty smiled, and nodded, seeming to understand.

Mitch and Jerome stood back up, and looked at everyone else.

"Well? Let's get a party started!" They both cried happily. We all partied the night away, until Mitch and Jerome finally had to go.

"Thank you all for the reunion. We'll make sure to keep watch over you guys!" Mitch and Jerome said, hugging us all. The most began to reappear, and no sooner did they come did they go.

"Well, that was a nice little reunion wasn't it?" Seto asked, and we all agreed. We sat at the memorial for a little longer, just reflecting on what a crazy life we've had so far. Then, Ty stood up.

"Who's for a race back to the base?" He asked, a competitive twinkle in his eyes.

"Your on!" Ian and Jason exclaimed. Ty took off, and they followed behind.

"You coming Sky?" Seto asked before leaving after then.

"I will, in a minute." I asked, and Seto nodded. Once Seto left, I walked back over to the memorial and sighed.

"You guys sure were idiots. We haven't needed to unflood the training area in 2 weeks. It's a new record." I said, chuckling to myself. Then I got serious again. "I miss you guys. I wish you guys hadn't had to go just yet. I feel like it's harder than ever to lead this army now." I whispered. Then, something grazed my leg. I bent down to find a piece of paper.

Dear Sky,

We miss you a lot too. But we're looking down on you, and that just shows that were still better than you. As for the army, you're doing just fine. No one could ask for a better leader.

Sincerely,
Your favorite Idiots.

P.S. You might want to go check out the training fields.

I smiled, and stuffed the paper in my pocket. I took one last glance at the memorial, and then ran off towards the training ground.
