(Avacyn is clinging onto Trey's arm tightly as they walk through the forest.)Avacyn: I can't believe you chose me to be on your team!
Raine: Avacyn?
Avacyn: What is it?(Raine knocks Avacyn away from Trey.)
Avacyn: Hey! What's your problem??
Raine: We aren't here to play. And stop clinging onto Trey's arm like some child.
Avacyn: Ahhhh, you're jealous. Don't like how close I am to Trey?
Trey: Now isn't the time you two.(They approach a clearing in the forest.)
Trey: We've travelled this far in, where is he?
Avacyn: Not even one emeratz either.
Trey: It is odd. This place is a battlefield, yet it's quiet.(At that moment, they hear a soft male voice.)
?: Avacyn?
Raine: Who's there? Show yourself!
Avacyn: (Uh oh, I know that voice.)
?: Hahaha, you're still with them?( A man walks out from behind a tree. He is 6'3 with brown, short hair. He is in his mid twenties with a muscular build.)
Trey: You know this guy?
Avacyn: Heeeeyyy, Luke...
Trey: Wait, you were in the government? Like Raine?
Avacyn: Ah, well...(She begins to back up.)
Trey: Why are you backing up? What's wrong?
Luke: Wow, even after what you've done to them you have the courage to stay like you're one of them?(As Avacyn begins to back up faster, Raine grabs her arm tightly.)
Raine: I never saw you in our units...what did you do in the government??
Avacyn: Uh.....
Raine: Explain! Now!---------------------------------
Raven: A lightning elemental, eh?
Jack: That's right, toots.(Jack grabs Zellos' leg, shocks him, and tosses him into a tree.)
Raven: Don't call me toots.
Lilith: And don't call me that either.
Jack: Can I call you fried?
Raven: Wha-.(Jack shoots a bolt of lightning at Raven, but she seems to burst into a gush of air.)
Jack: Interesting.
Zellos: Half moon.(Zellos strikes from above, but Jack's body turns into electricity. Zellos' slash goes through Jack and busts the ground. In a gust of wind Raven appears in front of him and throws a kick engulfed in wind.)
Raven: Gale force five!
(The wind catches Jack and flings him backward.)
Jack: Very interesting.
Zellos: Elemental body too?
Jack: We are better forms of you.
Lilith: Woah, don't get crazy.(Jack looks behind him to see Lilith clap her hands together and a sword appears.)
Lilith: Attila!
(Jack fires several jolts at her. Lillith swings her blade and the earth at her feet form a shield.)
Jack: Oh? Aren't you all wind elementals?
Raven: How did he know that?
Zellos: We have a snitch.
Jack: Snitch? Yes.
Lilith: Really? Who?-------------------------------
Luke: Avacyn here has been leaking information about every amalgram within Tucson for years.
Raine: What did he say??
Avacyn: *Ripping away from Raine* No, wait! But-!
Luke: Our psychics received information from her. It's how we know so much. There is one of her in every city.
Trey: Avacyn, but you're one of us.
Avacyn: Trey, I-...
Luke: Wrong, she isn't an amalgram.
Raine: So, she's an emeratz.
Avacyn: No!
Luke: She started as an amalgram but was experimented on so that her power functions like an emeratz. She's a first generation emeratz.(Trey and Raine look towards Avacyn.)
Avacyn: I'm sorry-.
Raine: You betrayed us! You two timing-!
Avacyn: I tried to quit, ok!
Raine: ...
Avacyn: After being here a while, I came to like and appreciate you all, but their psychics forced their way into my mind and stole info.
Luke: It's true, she tried, but failed.
Avacyn: I'm terribly sorry.
Raine: I can't speak to you right now.
Avacyn: *Looks over at Trey* What about you?
Trey: ...
Luke: *Laughs* Aww, come here Avacyn, we'll take you back.
Avacyn: I don't know, it seems like a bad idea.
Luke: You see them, they turned their backs on you. Now get over here!(Avacyn hesitates before she walks to him, but Raine grabs her wrist to stop her.)
Raine: No you don't.
Trey: It's not your fault.
Avacyn: What?
Raine: I was used as well. So it's not like I don't understand.
Trey: You're an amalgram first, and emeratz second.
Avacyn: *Eyes tearing up* Trey... Raine, thank you.
Luke: *Slow claps* Whoopty doo! Great! Stay, die with the rest of them.
Avacyn: No, I will not die. Not before I redeem myself. And I think I'll start with you.
Luke: You think you can take me and my Crimson Erza?
Raine: She won't do it alone.
Trey: True that.
Luke: Fine, go ahead and try.(Luke pulls out a pocket knife and slits his jugular.)
Raine: Well, that was easy.
Avacyn: Get ready.
Trey: Get ready? He killed himself.
Raine: *Tapping on Trey's shoulder* Treeey!(Trey looks over to see Luke's blood form armor over his body and Trey's jaw drops.)
Luke: Blood is my weapon. More specifically, my armor, shield, and weapon.
Trey: *Summoning his sword* Yes, a meta breaker! This should be interesting!
Raine: Now for some fun.
Avacyn: Aurelia. (You've been forced to slumber, and it's been awhile, but I need your power.)(Avacyn grows her armor, wings and halo, then summons a long sword and creates a shield on her left arm.)
Avacyn: Let's do this!
-----------------------------------
(Zellos hits a tree, knocking it down. Raven hits the ground, beaten up. Lilith is barely holding on, fighting fatigue.)
Jack: This is it?? Come on!
Raven: Zellos.
Zellos: Not yet.
Raven: *Angrily* Brother!(A lightning bolt shoots through Zellos' sternum.)
Lilith: Aww, crap.
Zellos: *Groans*
Alma: (Uh oh!)
Voice: (Do you want help?)(Alma flinches and groans.)
