Maxx, Dan, and Zach were holding hands in a triangle with their eyes closed. Shannon made Cody drink a different substance. Cody inmeantally went unconscious in a deep sleep. Shannon was saying words in Arabic.

Maxx felt a cold breeze across his face. When he no longer felt Dan's and Zach's hands, he opened his eyes. When he opened them, he saw that he was in a haunted building.

Maxx looked around. "Wait, this is the studio..."

Then he noticed that Dan and Zach were nowhere in his sight.

"DAN! ZACH!" Maxx yelled.

Then he heard Zach's voice. "We're over here!"

Maxx followed the sound of Zach's voice and met up with them by the stairwell.

"Where do you think Cody would be?" Dan asked.

"Knowing him," Zach thought for a second. "He would probably be recording in the studio."

The three of them headed to the studio. In the studio they saw Cody singing in the microphone. Then the light in the studio went out. Cody looked up at the light and stopped singing.

Cody left the studio and walked into the recording room where Maxx, Dan, and Zach were.

"What the fuck was that?" Cody looked at the three of them.

Dan whispered to Zach and Maxx, "I don't think he knows he's in a dream..."

Maxx walked up to Cody and wrapped his arm around his shoulder. "Probably some technical malfunction."

Maxx gave Dan and Zach a look that saying come on guys. Play along.

"Yeah," Dan agreed. "Just malfunctions."

"Well that sucks. I was so excited to record the vocals," Cody had a smile on his face.

"Cody you mind if I can talk to Maxx and Dan in private?"

"Sure, Zach," Cody put on headphones and turned the volume all the way up.

Dan was impressed. "That works."

"So what's up, Zach?" Maxx asked.

"Shouldn't we find 'Maxx'?" Zach stares right at Cody.

Maxx got annoyed. "The fake Maxx. The man with the chainsaw."

Dan looked at Cody. "What about Cody?"

"We have to bring him along," Zach exclaimed. "He has to face the nightmare. We'll help him with that."

Maxx took off the headphones from Cody's head. "Come on, Cody. We're going to take a stroll around the studio."

Cody got up from the chair. "Okay?"

They walked around the studio until something came up. Then they walked into an empty room.

"I don't remember there being an empty room in this place," Dan looked at Zach and Maxx.

All of the sudden, the door was slammed shut. Maxx went to the door and tried to open it.

"It won't budge..."

Zach was getting a little scared. "I think we found it..."

"Found what?" Cody asked.

"That," Maxx turned Cody around and they saw the man with the chainsaw.

Dan whispered to Maxx, "It's you..."

Cody started to back up in panic. "Please no again."

"Looks like you brought some friends to enjoy the fun...," The man started his chainsaw once again. "This time there going to be more blood spill..."

Maxx stood in front of Cody. "You imposter! Why do you have to pretend to be me!?"

The man laughed. "That's what you think? Oh Maxxy boy, I'm not you. Nor Danny. Nor Zach..."

Cody backed up. "Then... Who are you?"
