"What is it now?" I groaned, picking up my phone for the fourth time that day. It was the Ranger School yet again. First, it was about Keith pulling a prank on Summer. Second, it was Summer flunking a lesson with Ben, and they were found kissing at Ascension Square. Third, Keith had replaced Mr Kincaid's hairspray with super glue.

"Keith and Summer are not in trouble this time! There is a big problem! It was lunch time, and Summer was with some of her friends eating lunch outside. There was then some sort of attack on the school grounds, and some man in blue kidnapped her." I was having a sip of my drink at that time, and it was hot. But as soon as heard the 'Man in blue kidnapped her' part, I spat it out, burning my legs as a consequence.

"Say what?! Does anyone know what the man looked like?!"

"Ben does. He said that he had spiky blue hair, a long blue trench coat with white flame patterns, cyan eyes, blue clothes underneath the jacket and apparently, sticking out of one of his pockets, was a battered photo of you."

"Ice kidnapped my daughter..." I whispered. Then the shock of reality slapped me in the face. I began to cry a bit before turning off my phone. Damien noticed and walked over to me.

"What's the matter, Ambs?"

"I-Ice... S-Summer... H-He kidnapped... H-Her..." I broke down then. Damien hugged me.

"Dont cry... We will find Summer. Trust me, Amber." I then thought of something. If Summer was kidnapped, wouldn't that mean that Ice had forgotten about Keith, or had he been kidnapped too? Then I came to a realisation. Keith has ghost powers, like me. He could have done something like slip through a wall. Summer has water powers, like Damien. She couldn't have defended herself well against Ice and his ice type Pokemon.

"D-Damien?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you mind if I go to Hia Valley to calm myself down?"

"Why Hia Valley?"

"Because... My parents' graves are there. I get some sort of calming sensation whenever I visit the graves..." Damien nodded before calling his dad, to tell him about Summer. After about two hours of walking from Pueltown, I had reached Hia Valley. I was there to calm down, but there was another reason too. I wanted to find out about how Summer and Keith had somehow got mine and Damien's powers.

After a few more minutes of walking, I had reached that horrible cabin. I walked into the abandoned building and began looking around. Then I found something amongst their plans.

Project XZ

Using the DNA obtained from Juppeta, Zenigami and Blacky,

We had enough human DNA to construct a tool of destruction in human form.

We had to create our own DNA though, as the sample from Juppeta was too old and weak, Zenigami's and Blacky's were from people a bit too old for the DNA to be used.

We called him 'Ben'.

He was the same age as Juppeta and Zenigami's children.

Once he is close enough to one of them, we will order him to kill that one and bring them to the cabin.

But we have assistance too. If 'Ben' fails to succeed in his mission...

Juppeta's brother will take that one, and then we will experiment on the child.

I almost screamed at that. They unnaturally created my daughters crush, and now they want to experiment on her! I quickly called Damien and explained the situation.

"Right. But it could be dangerous with Ice around, so we could do with Acilla, Sapphire and Garnet's help in getting Summer back."

"Okay. Just be quick! I hear them coming!" I quickly hid under a table as they walked in and shoved Summer onto the floor. She looked really beaten up. Summer didn't notice me though, as she looked really weak. Please hurry up... Summer might not have much time left with the way that this is going...
