Carly looked at Alex for a few seconds, somehow knowing that he didn't like the plan anymore than she did and had to think about it for a while. After a few minutes, she spoke up. "I may not like this plan...but if it's necessary, then I'm in." She may not have liked the idea about being a prisoner, but she would do it, if it meant saving her sister.

" I don't like the idea of having to return, but if you need me, I'll help you as much as I can . Tracy said . She didn't want to go back there but if those trainers would be freed , she would help.

Alex looked at everyone and asked if they were sure.

Tracy and Taylor nodded that they were both sure .

"Alright, as long as all of you are sure." Alex said, still not liking himself for thinking of the plan. "Although I don't think we should use our real names though, just sounds like a bad idea."

" It will be easy to use an alias in town to get inside. I would be recognized though."Tracy said.

"True, but I have a feeling that Bryce would be willing to grant me a special request if I brought you back to town," Alex replied.

" I agree he would. I'm willing to go back as a prisoner and help you get out of town if needed. There are tunnels that are underneath the city . I should have used those to escape." Tracy said.

"Tunnels?" Ark asked.

" They were built about 200 years ago. They were used to bring in supplies and travelers. There are two towns. The surface and the underground . I know the tunnels by heart. The entrance tunnels are sealed, but the exit ones are open . We couldnt get in by the exits if we tried ."

"But could we use them to escape?" Alex asked as an idea was starting to form.

" We can. I know of an entrance to the underground near the gym ,that we can use to get out." Tracy said.

Alex grinned as he heard what Tracy said. "Now the only problem is convincing the guards that you're my prisoners. I highly doubt they'll buy it if you are freely walking with me, especially you Tracy."

" You could tie our hands behind our backs . " Taylor suggested.

"You could also lie and say you have them bound to you by magic," Angelus said as she gave her own two thoughts. After she did though, Nita and Kit looked a little shocked. Angelus noticed their shock and explained that dragon magic would not speed up entropy like their magic would.

" Also you could take our Bishies , but only until we need them to fight. " Tracy offered.

"That would probably be a good idea Alex, people would be suspicious if your prisoners had their own Bishies," Zero said, throwing his own two cents in as well. "Plus, I think we should stay out of sight as well except for Angel. That way, we can all use the element of surprise."

"I think that would be a good idea Zero. Everyone else?" Alex asked. He knew he was starting to get annoying, but he wanted to make sure that everyone was okay with the plan. He was betting their lives on his plan after all.

" I'm in. " Taylor said.
" So am I " Tracy said too. She knew this plan had to work .

"We trust you Alex, otherwise we wouldn't be giving you suggestions," Carly said. "I'm in, but if Max is hurt..." she started to threaten him, causing him to quickly promise to make sure Max or any of their other Bishies to get hurt.

" I'm ready to start the plan when you are Alex. " Taylor said.

Alex looked at the group one last time before taking on a leader-like role. "Alright then, we'll head out tomorrow morning. Angelus, is there some way to make the magic visible, just in case these guards don't buy the fact that they're magically bound to me?" He asked his dragon as she nodded.

"I can do it if it becomes necessary," Angelus responded as Alex nodded and thanked her for the information. She nodded before making herself comfortable on the ground before falling asleep. Alex chuckled lightly, but suggested that they follow her example.

Taylor laid down on the ground and fell asleep. He hoped that soon those trainers were free. He would fight as hard as could to make sure they were.

Alex laid down next to Angelus, not entirely sure if he could get to sleep or not. A lot rested on the young man's shoulders.

Tracy tried to sleep. She was scared to go back . Eventually sleep came to her.

Alex woke up in a cold sweat before seeing the others still sleeping. He looked up at the stars before sighing lightly, glad that it was only a nightmare and wasn't real. "And here I thought it would be just one big adventure..." he mumbled to himself as he heard a slight chuckle from behind him.

"Nothing in life is ever truly easy Alex," Jean said as she sat down next to her trainer and friend as Alex nodded.

"True. What are you still doing up though?" he asked, though he had an idea of what was going through the young woman's head. "This doesn't bring back any bad memories...does it?"
