They were all eating in the kitchen. Alice and Lunar explained what had happened to Ruby and Ray and Bryan nodded. The others continued to eat. "So, now what?" Matt asked. "Isn't it obvious?" Mia asked pushing off of the counter she was sitting on. "We go after them." "No." Bryan said, "you do not know how to use your powers." "Ok?" Mia said, "we can learn!" Bryan sighed. "Alright. All of you, show me your relics." Mia and Carter held out leather bracelets. Mia's was black with a moon and a swirl on if. Carter's was white and had a sun and a matching swirl on it. Matt had a red bracelet and Katie had a silver now and arrows, in a silver quiver. Lunar touched the choker necklace with a cracked tear shape that was fastened around her neck. Cora pulled out her gold sword and Mikah petted her pet rat, that was wearing a small silver rope with a paw charm on it. Alice and Rose looked at their necklaces. Rose's had a Ruby pendant. Bryan nodded. "Our enemy has powers of her own. Now you all need to learn yours." He nodded at the door and walked out of it and the others followed. Bryan walked down multiple hallways, and turned multiple corners until they reached a huge gym-like room, that had a very high ceiling. Bryan waved his hands and a set of training supplies appeared. "Cool!" Matt exclaimed. "Wicked." Lunar agreed eyeing some of the spikes on the training pieces. "Welcome," Bryan said, "to the training hall." There was a period of silence and Mia smacked her gum loudly to get everyone to snap out of it. "So are we going to start now or what?" Bryan nodded solemnly. "Each of you choose a training object, and start going. Read all of the instructions first, please." They nodded. Matt and Katie went over to a two people exercise, Carter went to the rope, Mia and Rose to the kick dummies, Lunar and Alice to the obstacle course, Mikah went to the tunnel section, and Cora just kind of traveled around doing random stuff. After what felt like hours, they were tired. "Now for power training." Bryan said. Cora groaned. "I'm tired!" She complained. "Well so am I!" Mikah agreed, stroking Luna the rat. Bryan slumped. "Come on! You have to have more endurance than that!" "Well, I can keep going!" Carter said, smiling. Mia rolled her eyes, "suck-up," she muttered. "I'm sorry Carter, but we must rest. You have an hour!" The group turned to go, but Bryan stopped them, "first, why don't you look at these." He handed them so catalogs. "Really?" Rose asked, "Furniture catalogs?" "Explain." Alice agreed. "Well you don't want to stay in plain rooms do you?" Bryan said. Lunar grinned. Bryan waved his arms and they flew back to their rooms.

Ruby and Ray sat slumped on the insides of the bubble. "When, are we getting out of here?" Ruby complained as she kicked at the sides of the bubble. Ray shrugged. "Oh silly," the woman exclaimed, your friends will come here, and they'll walk right into a trap!" She laughed and turned and walked through a tunnel. Then Ray looked at her relic, an iron sword. She smiled and drew if and began hacking at the bubble. Ruby nodded and kept kicking and punching, since her relic was a necklace, and wouldn't be much good physically. "We'll get out of here eventually." Ray said. "And when we do, bubble lady is going down!"
