"Go, now!" Akaria yelled as she kicked Yubel back against the opposite wall. Keith pulled Justin's arm across his shoulders before running out the tunnel Justin had just made. Emma and Jesse had to prod everyone else out the tunnel, as they were in shock. Once everyone was gone, Yubel glared at Akaria.

You're such a pain! She hissed. Akaria pulled out her sword.

"Tell me something I don't know."

xXx

"Keith!" Jesse yelled. Keith was leading the group, helping Justin move. "Go back and help Akaria!" Keith looked at Justin. Axel took Justin's other arm and mimicked Keith.

"I'll take him," he said. Keith nodded and sprinted back toward the dungeon. Emma looked at Jesse.

"You really think Akaria needs Keith's help?" she asked. Jesse nodded.

"Yeah, she looks really bad," he said. Justin looked back at him.

"You don't look much better," he said. Jesse scowled at Justin. True, Jesse hasn't been feeling great and has no idea why, but now was not the time for Justin to bring it up.

"Um, how do we get out of here again?" Syrus asked. Everyone looked at him confused.

"What are you talking about, soldier?" Hassleberry asked. Syrus sighed.

"How do we find our way back outside? I mean, I can't remember how," he said. Everyone slowed down their running until they were no longer mobile. Justin shrugged off Axel.

"I'm good now, thanks," he said. Axel nodded and took a step away from him. Jesse set Jaden down on his feet, choosing the pull his arm over his shoulders instead.

"Captain?" Justin called. Jesse didn't say anything.

Instead, he closed his eyes and thought, L'aquila guarda. Orecchi di carbonchio. Jesse opened his eyes and they were now a combined color of cobalt and ruby.

"This way," he said, leading everyone to the left. No one questioned Jesse's decision. They kept moving until Jesse heard something coming their way. He stopped moving and everyone followed. Jesse dropped Jaden's arm.

"Hassleberry, help Jaden," he said. Hassleberry nodded and took Jaden from Jesse. Jaden looked at him.

"What are you doing?" he asked. Jesse placed his index finger to his lips.

"Quiet, Jay. Something's coming," he said. Everyone silenced after that, pressing themselves to the wall in hopes of not being seen. Jesse leaned around the corner and saw nothing.

"Jesse! From above!" Emma shrieked. Jesse whipped his head up to see a monster lunging down at him. He had no time to react. Suddenly, the monster was gone, dead. Particles fell weakly to the ground at Jesse's feet. He looked up to see Keith standing in front of him, his sword drawn.

"I thought I told you to help Akaria," he hissed.

"He did. Yubel ran off," Akaria answered. Everyone turned to see Akaria leaning against the wall opposite them, her hands wound tightly around her chest. Suddenly, a monster appeared behind Akaria, blood lust in its eyes.

"Topaz!" Jesse yelled. Topaz Tiger appeared, launching himself onto the monster trying to kill Akaria. Jesse's eye color changed once again, mixing topaz into the cobalt and ruby color. Akaria scowled at him.

"Don't drain yourself, Jesse. Too much at the same time is too dangerous," she scolded. Jesse glared at her. Topaz walked around her, looking pleased with himself.

I'll take point. It's better for me to be surprised than you, he said. Jesse nodded. Topaz leaned down, pressing his nose to the ground. Everyone began to follow him. Jim picked up Akaria because she wasn't moving.

xXx

"That was too easy," Justin said when everyone made it outside the castle. Jesse nodded. Jim walked over to him, Akaria in his arms.

"Well it's about to get a lot harder. The bridge is down, remember?" she asked, looking at Jesse. Jesse cussed under his breath. Topaz looked at Jesse.

I'll leave it to you now. You're going to need my strength, he said. Jesse smiled at Topaz as he disappeared. Jesse's eyes returned to their normal emerald green.

"Got a plan?" Blair asked. Jesse nodded.

"Actually, I do. Stay here," he said. Everyone nodded. Jesse took a few steps back, facing the mouth of the canyon. He closed his eyes.

Agilita di gatto. Velocita di tigre. Volo di Pegasus.

Jesse snapped his eyes open. Amethyst, topaz, and sapphire swirled in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, Jesse took off in a sprint toward the canyon. He blurred past everyone and when his feet reached the edge of the canyon, he jumped.

"Jesse!" Jaden yelled. Everyone stared at Jesse in shock as he practically flew across the canyon, but he was just a few inches too short. Jesse's hands gripped the rope from the bridge. He continued to slide down, the rope burning his hands, causing him to flinch. Jesse dug his feet into the side of the canyon, stopping his decent. With a sigh, he looked up and saw he slid down nearly twenty feet. His hands throbbed.

"Jesse! Are you okay?" Alexis yelled. Jesse looked back over his shoulder to see everyone but Akaria knelling at the mouth of the canyon, staring at him. Akaria and Jim still stood. Jesse just nodded and began to climb up the bridge like a ladder quickly. In less than a minute, he was pulling himself up onto the land. Jesse coughed forcefully as his eyes drained again to emerald green. He whipped his mouth on his arm, feeling something warm on it. Jesse looked and saw blood.

"I've gone too far," he whispered. He spit at the ground. He whipped his mouth again and turned back toward the bridge. "But I still have to go farther." Jesse didn't close his eyes, but kept them open. "Forza enorme." Jesse's eyes turned bright amber. He looked up. "Everyone back up! Justin, get ready to play catch!" Everyone backed up, confused. Justin stood at the opposite end of the bridge.

"Ready, captain!" he yelled, bracing his feet on the ground. Jesse dropped to his knees and latched his hands onto the bridge. With one quick jerk, the bridge flew up. Jesse whipped his arms forward, like snapping a blanket onto a bed. The bridge fell horizontally. Justin caught the edges of the bridge. They were frayed, being the end that was cut.

"I thought the bridge was cut the other way," Atticus said. Keith looked at him.

"The bridge was flipped. It's a simple trick. Yubel did it in hopes of keeping us trapped here," he explained. Emma smiled.

"But she forgot to factor in Jesse," she said. Justin smiled widely he bent down and, still holding onto the rope, punched the side of the canyon with both hands. His hands sunk into the earth easily. Justin pulled his hands out with a snap, leaving the ropes. The earth closed around the rope tightly, holding it so tight the bridge no longer shook.

"Let's move," he said. Emma, Keith, and Justin bolted across the bridge. Still, it didn't shake. Everyone else didn't look convinced.

"Go," Akaria said. Everyone looked up at her. Akaria was pale and seemed weak but her glare told them that if they didn't move, they'd be left behind. Everyone took off across the bridge, Hassleberry still helping Jaden. Jim and Akaria were the last to go across. Suddenly, Akaria gasped, as did Jesse.

Jesse whipped to look at Emma, who had made it across the bridge first.

"Emma, we need a storm. Yubel's coming," he said. Emma nodded and pulled out her sword. Without a word, she slashed her sword out in front of her. A strong current of air shot across the canyon. Yubel was revealed in the gust and flew back toward the castle. She crashed into it, causing the part she crashed into to collapse around her. Jesse smiled at Emma as she sheathed her sword.

"Nice work," he said. Emma smiled at him.

"Everyone's across," Justin said. Jesse looked at him.

"Drop it," he said. Justin nodded and extended his hand toward the partially destroyed castle. He pulled his arm back slowly and then the ropes slid out of the earth. The bridge fell again, slapping against the side of the canyon they were all on. Jesse sighed and smiled.

"Well, what do we do now, Akaria?" he asked. There was no response. Jesse looked at Jim. Akaria was limp in his arms, her eyes closed. "Akaria?"

xXx

Yay! Jaden's with the gang again, but what's wrong with Akaria? O.O
