They kicked their own asses.

They were all running toward the squids when Seto tripped right over Husky's body, hit his head on a rock, and was instantly knocked out. His magic sought to protect him, which caused some beams of purple to shoot from his hands and aim for the nearest person beside him. Guess who that was? Bajan. He was on the ground in half a second, out like a rock, and Jerome panicked and dropped his ax, which made Ty stumble to the side to avoid stepping on it and slicing up his foot, only for him to fall right against True. The alien and human went down with panicked screams, before their heads slammed against each other. Then they were laying at Sky's feet, both completely knocked out.

Sky fell over them, not having nearly enough time to even try and jump over them, and fell right against Jerome. Sky hit his head on Jerome's shoulder, which was nearly as hard as metal, and he was out too as the sound of a crack ran through the air. Jerome tried to break his fall, but only ended up grabbing Seto's wrist, which ended up setting off his magic again and striking Jerome in the face. He was out like a light when he hit the ground. The squids stared at the mass of bodies before them, skidding to a stop. The forest was silent from all the shouts and noises, as the birds and animals had fled to a safer place. The squids slowly looked at each other, and they were silent themselves for a few moments before one looked back at the pile.

"... Are you sure this is them."

"Yes, I'm sure it's them." The leader snapped before he walked forward, grabbing Seto and Ty by the backs of their shirts and yanking them to their feet. "Now grab two and get walking, we need to get them to the base before they wake themselves back up again."

"They'd just knock themselves out again."

"Get moving!"

On a nearby branch, an eagle with gray eyes stared before they lifted their wing over their head, as if they were facepalming.


Ty's head and forehead were throbbing painfully as he slowly began to wake up, his eyes opening a crack. His vision was blurred, though he could hear muffled voices of anger and panic and the sounds of someone banging something against a stone wall. He let out a low groan, rolling onto his side before he slowly pushed himself into a sitting position, his head bowed. "Ty is up!"

"Great! Maybe he can help us, he's a street rat, I'm sure he's been in cells before!" Ty growled and raised his head, glaring weakly toward the voice only to see he was glaring at a stone wall. He sighed loudly.

"To the jackass who said that, I am flipping you off so hard in my mind right now." He growled, rubbing his head as he pushed himself to his feet. There was a snort as Ty looked around. "Alright, where the hell are we?" He looked down and pulled up his shirt, checking his side before he let it fall back down. "I still have my kidneys, that's a good start."

"We've been kidnapped and we're in the Squid Army base, in their dungeons." Husky's voice growled, and Ty looked up to see he was indeed in a cell, with some old hay in the corner for a bed. The walls were study though a bit cracked, and there was a barred window way up the wall near the ceiling. He could see the setting sun, making him huff before he looked in front of him to see a cell was across from his. His eyes widened. Sky was in the cell, though he hadn't woken up yet. He had been thrown in there rather roughly and was laying on his side, a bit of blood running down his temple.

"Shit, what happened?"

"We all knocked each other out, that's what happened!" Jerome snapped in the cell beside him.

"Well don't glare at me!" Seto snarled from where he was in the next cell beside Sky's. "It's Husky's fault that I tripped!"

"Oh, I'm sorry I got knocked out and had no control over where I landed!"
"Apology not accepted!"

"When I get out of this cell, I'm going to kill you!"

"You idiots, this is not to time be going at each other's throats right now!" True growled from the other cell beside Ty's. "You saw what they did to New Mine City, and they know who and what we are! They will kill us without hesitation! If we want to live-"

"What are we anyway!?" Jerome yelled. "We're just 'descendants' of people they fought with in the past! In the far past! I'm not going to pay for my descendant's mistakes! If anything, they should just kill Sky!"

"Jerome, shame on you!" Bajan yelled at him angrily from his cell, which was beside Seto's. "They didn't make mistakes, they fought for Minecraftia freedom!"

"Well I'm not even a Minecraftian!"

"Everyone shut up! Sky is waking up!" Deadlox hissed as he looked at the shifting Ex-Commander. Everyone fell quiet as there was a low groan from the man, trembling slightly as he pushed himself onto his hands and knees. His golden eyes gleamed with anger as he glared at Jerome, who stopped in surprise.

"I'm deeply sorry you feel that way." He said lowly. "Once we get out of here, you can go. I don't care." Jerome blinked in shock as Sky pushed himself to his feet, stumbling slightly as he grabbed the bars of his cell. His head was bowed in pain as he gripped the metal. "As far as I'm concerned, you can all leave." He snarled under his breath. "You're all useless and pathetic anyway."
