"So that's why there were so many vans in town the last few days. I want to help you as much I can." Tracy said.

Ark looked at the blue dragon for a few seconds. "Tracy, perhaps you should place...Saphira? back in her bishiball. At the moment I don't think she can fly," he said while glancing over at the dragon.

" You're right , I am Saphria" The blue dragon said before she went in to the Bishie ball.
" Will she be alright? I tried using my med kit, but the wounds are too deep." Tracy said sadly.

"She'll be fine. One of my friends has a Sora that knows Cure. I'm sure he'll heal your Saphira," he said. "Of course that's hoping my Angelus doesn't mind a second dragon in the group."

" That's good . I hope your Angelus doesn't mind. Saphira usually likes other dragons. The only one she didn't was the gym leaders black dragon." Tracy said as they walked .

"Black dragon?" Alex asked in alarm. "The leader's name wouldn't happen to be Bryce...would it?" Alex asked

" It is. He's not a very nice guy to work with. I worked at the gym for 3 years and six months ago he walk in with a bunch of others and tells us he's in charge . No one knows what happened to Jason , the previous trainer. He had a green dragon . Most of the gym workers have dragons. Except the other ones. They have rare Bishies and would not want to fight any of them. "

Ark didn't know anything about green dragons, but an idea did form in his mind. He would wait until they got back with the others. He would have to ask if they were okay with what he had in mind after all.

Taylor was glad to see Ark heading toward them . He also saw another trainer too. " Carly, Alex is back . " He said quietly to her. She had taken a nap, while he kept watch.

Alew saw Taylor standing guard and waved towards him as Angelus was behind him. He assumed that Carly was sleeping behind her. Alex walked towards them, Tracy just behind him as she was not sure if the other trainers would trust her or not but hoped that they would.

~~~

Carly slowly woke up as she heard Taylor exclaiming that Alex was back. Once she saw that Alex was indeed back, she made herself look somewhat presentable and dusted off enough dirt as she could manage.

" Hi. I'm Tracy. " She said hoping the others would trust her.
"It's nice to meet you Tracy." Taylor said .

"It's nice to meet you Tracy, I'm Carly." Carly responded as she held out her hand to shake Tracy's.

Tracy shook Carly's hand with a smile. It was good to be around people she could trust.

Alex smiled at the scene before he remembered that Saphira needed medical attention. "Taylor, can you ask Sora if he can heal Saphira? She took injuries while helping Tracy escape."

Taylor nodded and brought Sora out and explained the situation. Tracy got Saphria out and Sora began to heal the blue dragon.

Tracy watched as Sora healing Saphira, hoping that the magical spell would work and heal the wounds that she received while helping her to get out of that infernal place. Alex would wait until Saphira was healed before he asked Tracy to share the information that she found out.

Sora finished up and asked? " Are you feeling better Saphira?" The blue dragon shook her head yes and thanked Sora.

Tracy grinned and gave her dragon a hug. "I'm glad you're okay Saphira." Angelus gave a small chuckle at the affection shown by the human girl.

"Tracy," Alex said, getting the girl to look at him. "Perhaps you should tell the others what you told me?"

Tracy told the others whats she had told Alex . She noticed the look on Taylor's face when she mentioned that she might know where the missing detective might be . She waited for the responses from the other two.

Taylor was surprised that Michael might be closer than they thought. He hoped Tracy would stay around , but knew she would want to get to safety.

Alex saw the look of surprise on Taylor's face and also wondered if Tracy was going to stay around, especially with what he had planned to get into the city and to beat Bryce at his own game.

"Did you see a little girl with him by chance?" Carly asked with a little bit of hope in her voice.

" I did. We weren't allowed in the basement area , but I was in the storeroom and heard them questioning a girl that had been there training. " Tracy said.

Carly's eyes widened with hope. It could be Deanna.

"Tracy, I know you probably don't want to go back to this town, and I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to head to the next city over," he whispered to Tracy before backing away from her and addressing the whole gang. "Everyone...I might have a plan to get into this town and free some, if not all, of the captured trainers."

" What's the plan? What ever it is , I'm in. " Taylor said determined to help the trainers.

"I know you want to go Taylor, but I think you should listen to the plan first. I'm...asking a lot from you guys. Jean was gathering info about the gate and they won't just let anyone in. You either have to have a dragon or...prisoners willing to trade for your entry. If you have both, your prisoners can come with you...what I'm trying to ask is..." at this, Alex looked down in shame, not liking the plan even though it was his.

Taylor didn't like what he heard about the town , but was willing to help.
