Beyond the River of Tomorrow *on hold*

Chapta 10....... Thousand?

Drake's POV;

I awoke to a dark room, the same empty room i saw every time i woke up from the torture the day before. My cloak sagged to the ground, soaking wet and torn. Shackles held my arms in place, and a helmet, tightly secured with Seto's magic, was wrapped around my head in a pinching agony. I heard the gates open, and i strained to hear what Tyler was planning this time. The only things i heard was "arrows" and, "water". So instead of a sword, they chose the next thing i hated. Tyler and Seto grabbed some water, while the rest of Team Crafted loaded their bows. I saw Mudkipz dip his in water first, so i braced myself for the pain. The arrows wizzed by, one by one, at first. Then Tyler roared out the same question. "WHERE IS HAYDEN?!?" I replied in the same way i had days apon days before. "I... Don't.......Know!" I screamed as well as i could with the arrows dug deep into my arms and legs, weakening everything. They shot more arrows, and water was splashed on me as well. I crumpled, too weak from yesterday to even stand. Tyler repeated the same question. "Where is Hayden!?!?!" I scrambled to my feet, and with the last bits of my strength said, "I don't know, and if i did i wouldn't tell you!" Then i saw out of the corner of my eye, Mitch was loading his bow. Instead of aiming at my legs, he aimed right for my chest. I closed my eyes, and waited for the blow.

Robin's POV;

Hayden was running, like I had never seen her run before. She jumped and ducked at precise moments, and even dodged into the shadows. I had to draw rollerblades for Daniel and I to catch up. I felt bad for Daniel, because he was blind, so I drew him this gadget thingy that I hoped helped him see. It was like goggles, but all one piece and tinted like sunglasses. It had buttons on the side to adjust, and he seemed to be pressing them a little. He sped ahead, and I sighed with relief when I saw him dodge a market cart. Earlier, after Hayden had told us about the stone army's fall, she stopped and listened. After, she took off without a word. Daniel and I followed at her heels. Then, she stopped in front of a large, marble building. I recognized it as Ty's castle from the guidebooks we passed apon entering. She hesitated, then jumped into the shadows. I sighed and drew a tracking device thing to find her. Daniel looked at me through his glasses/goggle things, and said softly, "Should we follow her, or is this private business that she wanted to go on herself?" I shook my head and raced on after Hayden's shadow, and swung open the huge doors. Several guards called to me, but I ran on, Daniel at my heels.

Hayden's POV;

I heard Drake. He was in pain. I was almost to him, almost there, with Robin and Dan behind me. I sped into the basement, and with blind efforts threw out a shield to what I hoped was Drake. There was the clatter of an arrow hitting a wall, and I looked up to see faces of anger and awe. Team Crafted was standing in a semi-circle around Drake, who was chained and his clothes were torn and bloodied. He looked at me with surprise weakly, then collapsed to the floor. "Hayden! There you are!" I did not realize I was out of my shadow form till Ty said that, flinging his arms around me. In a seeping rage, I threw him back and ran over to Drake, checking his wounds. Team Crafted huddled around Ty, helping him up, then noticed me filing Drake's chains. I wondered why Drake had not used his telekinesis to stop then or at least teleported away. Then I noticed the magic field around the band/helmet thing on his head. "Seto..." I said to myself, anger rising even more. I heard the drawstring of a bow being loaded, and I saw Mitch taking aim. My head too focused on filing away Drake's chains. Then Mitch fell to his knees, his arm severed off. Behind him stood Daniel, his scythe positioned in a swinging motion completed. The goggles he was wearing had fallen off, but I saw Robin trying her hardest to project into his head the scene. She was getting stronger, but Daniel was learning to rely his other senses as well. He blocked a blow from behind by Jerome, and the sword that he wielded clattered to the floor. I continued filing Drake's chains, until all that remained of all his shackles was a tiny band of steel. I broke it, and he rose slowly to fight. "No Drake. Get down. I will fight for you." I push him down, then stood. Ready to fight the remains of Team crafted, that slowly made their way towards me. I had nearly forgotten about how I could summon the other leaders by using a small bit of my life force, which would recharge. I very carefully separated a bit of power and sent it directly to the base. It would be a pure miracle if it got to the base, let alone work properly. I just hope that the strings of fate are on my side.

Justin's POV

The large, handmade tapestry above the Shadow doorway glowed a great golden black color. Everyone stopped and looked.

"Seth, you might wanna see this!?"

At the same moment, Braylon comes out covered in a sea green ooze.

"Oh. SETH! YOU REALLY GOTTA SEE THIS!!!" Braylon's voice had a slight note of panic. It hit me, Hayden needed help. Or something else. All the same, I grabbed my blades an stormed out with Braylon behind me, her bow slung over her shoulder.

"Time to go save our insane and terrifing baby sister."

"She'd have our necks if she heard you say that, Justin."

"Only if she was here Braylon, only if she was here." She rolls her eyes, and sacks me on the head.

"Right, keep moving moron." I smirk knowing Braylon was younger than me.
