~Mari's POV~
Luke and I gazed at Ender, who was turning our minions to dust. "Goodness..." I muttered, setting down my pack and opening it. Luke looked over my shoulder, watching as I knelt beside the bag and rummaged through it. "What're you doing..?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. I sighed as I sat up. I looked down at the rope in my hand. "Plan; we're going to restrain her. You distract her in some way and I'll use these ropes to drag her onto the ground," I instructed, taking out another rope from my pack. "Then we'll try to calm her." Luke gave me an uncertain look before nodding and running towards Ender. "Hey! Ender! Down here!" Luke began yelling as he waved his hands. I imagined he looked like an ant to Ender, but shook off the amusing thought, readying my ropes. "Try to get me if you can!" Luke began to yell, running around the Obsidian world. Ender began to roar, flying after him. I sighed as I ran after them, far from sight. When the time was right, I threw one of the ends of a rope at Ender; One of her wings were caught. Bingo. Ender roared again, sending a ball of fire into my direction. Still holding onto the rope, I dodged to the left, then using my other rope to hook her other wing. My eyes widened as Ender began to drop to the ground like a brick. "Ah!" I screamed as I was pulled from my standing point, pulled onto the hard ground. Though I still held the ropes tight. Luke ran over to my side, helping me up. "Mari, are you okay?" He asked, glancing between me and Ender, who was trying to fight against the ropes. "I'm fine. Just calm her." I instructed. I staggered a bit to the side as I noticed blood trickling from my head. No biggie. Luke just gave me a look as if to say I don't believe you, but okay then ran to Ender's side, speaking to her softly as she still fought. I sighed then put the ropes on a nearby pole, then walking over to Luke, who was speaking to Ender with that....Awfully cute grin of his. It sickens me. "I...I just want my baby back! I want EnderLox back!" Ender screamed with tears pouring down her face. There was a flash of light before she changed; she was a human with her long black hair falling all the way down to her waist, purple dress flowing slightly and her eyes a beautiful blue. She collapsed onto the ground, clenching onto her heart with one hand. Luke pat her back a little as she buried her face in her hands. I sighed and turned my back away from Ender, refusing to watch her cry. "Ender. Sorry to ask this in such a forced way, but we have to ask you to stop burning all of Lady Mari's minions. We're running low on them." Luke asked politely. Ender looked up at him, wiping away her tears as she stood. "I...I'll stop, then...But, may I ask you a question, Lady Mari?" Ender asked as she turned to me. I turned around, tilting my head. "Shoot." Ender inched towards me, her eyes full of hope. "Can you...Can you perhaps find my..Son?" She asked. I swear she's just an overaged toddler. Thinking for a moment, I propped my chin on my knuckles. "Hm...Sure." I decided, nodding to her. Luke looked at me from behind Ender, confusion written on his face. I just nodded at him also. Ender cheered. I shrugged and put my ropes into my pack, throwing it over my shoulder and walking towards the portal with Luke. "W-Wait!" Ender shouted, running up behind us. I looked at her over my shoulder. "Hm?" I tilted my head. Ender threw her hand onto my head. She's kinda treated me like her daughter for years now, so I was used to it. "Let me go with you." She pleaded. Luke and I glanced at each other, shrugging before walking off again. "Come on, Miss Ender." Luke smiled. Ender's eyes lit up before she followed us into the portal. We all landed on soft green grass, looking around. "Uh...We're in the middle of nowhere." Luke commented.
~Sky's POV~
We entered a tall grey tower, looking around it. "Garron, are you here?" Seto called out, cupping his hands around his mouth. There was a small creaking sound as the door upstairs slowly opened, revealing a man with short white hair and beard with a silver robe/hat on, and a small red potion in his hand. "Greetings, Seto. What brings you and your friends here?" The man asked as he wondered towards us. Noelle stepped forward, her black and white skirt stuck to her sides. "Welperlezit, remember that deal we made..? Can we finish it off now?" She asked, seeming to pat down her white shirt. Garron nodded, gesturing for her to follow him. They went upstairs and Noelle shut the door, leaving the rest of us alone. "What do you think they're doing up there? And what deal was she talking about, Kitty?" I asked, turning to her. She just shrugged. "I don't know."
~ Noelle's POV~
I stood before Garron as he had sat down his potion on a wooden chair, then looked at me. "Is it just your memories, or is it everyone's?" He asked in a muttering way. "It's all of ours. I'm pretty sure me and the rest of the Sky Army want our memories to know our lives before we ended up here..And for Sky...He probably would want to know his family." I explained, glancing at the open window. Gandalf nodded before gesturing to the desk where his potion sat. "Surely. Please, do sit." He smiled. I shrugged, sitting down in the chair. I watched as Gandalf turned to a bookcase, grabbing a book (Oh, who would have guessed?). He turned to me as the book glowed a light blue, his staff standing on the side of him by magic. He grabbed the staff then swung it above his head in circles, creating a light wind to overcome the room. "G-Garron...I'm feeling.." I muttered. In a split second, I slipped off of the chair, passing out. "As soon as you wake, I swear..You and your friends will have your memories back."
