“There you are.” said Tryphon as Zane turns around and sees the figure Lucas was talking about. Zane froze as it scared him really bad. “That must be him!” he thought. “I must stay calm.”

“Silly boy.” Said Tryphon “I’m surprised they haven’t found you yet.”

Zane hesitated on what to say as he tries to explain how he wasn’t “caught” yet. “Come on! Think of something” Zane thought again as his thought process keeps freezing up on him.

“Um. I-I was able to find a hiding spot. Y-yeah, Tree Oak Grove is filled with them…”

Zane looks nervous as Tryphon looks like hes not buying his excuses.

“Really now?” he said as he looks at Zane a little closer. 

“Were you always green? I thought you were blue?” tryphon asked.

“Uuuuuuuuuuuh.”

“Eh never mind. Come on, the others are waiting for you.”

Tryphon leaves as Zane lets out a sigh of relief and looks where Lucas and Jerry are hiding and gives them a thumbs up to signal them that he took the bait.

“Ok thats our queue.” Lucas whispered “lets go.”

Lucas and Jerry sneak around the town as they follow Zane and Tryphon to see where he could be hiding. Many spots to duck and cover to make sure they weren’t spotted until they made it to what it looks like a worn out building that somehow is standing on its own.

“Was that always there Before?” Jerry asked as Lucas shakes his head “no”. Something is up. The two of them make their way to the building inside and Tryphon pull on the torch handle as it acts like a leaver to the fire place as it reveals a secret passage way. As they watch the two of them go inside. As quickly as it opened, the passage way starts to close as the two of them barely make it inside the secret passage as they dared not to open it again. They kinda fall behind as they get up and checked to see if their ok for a second, then they make their way down the spiraling stairs. Once they see the ground, the three of them peek over the wall and see the most shocking thing ever. A bunch of people who were cursed into Hubatians are hanging around in here, some of them are out and about, some are in cages like a wild animal as Zane looks around in horror of what he might’ve stumbled into.

“What the?”

“My gods” jerry whispered “theres a colony of them down here.”

“Those cages.” Whispered Ubuvu as he looks ferrous. “Hes treating them if they’re like wild animals to him.”

Lucas and Jerry make their way to another hiding spot behind the creates to see what Tryphon could be planning and try to get Zane out of there.

Tryphon takes off his hoodie as he revals to be very old man with pale hair and brown eyes as he looks like he lost his mind a little bit.

“I’m glad to have you back my child.” Said Tryphon as he looks around. “But I do believe we might have some….lose ends.” Lucas was confused by what he said as he heard Jerry get taken by a royal guard whos been cursed.

“Ow hey! Let me go!” Jerry yelled as hes being dragged out of his hiding spot. Before Lucas could react, one of them grabs Lucas by his hood and drags the both of them out of hiding. Zane wanted to interfere but if they see him help the others, it’ll expose his cover so Zane just watches as Jerry and Lucas try to break free from their grasp as Tryphon chuckles.

“Look what we have here?” said Tryphon as he looks at the two of them and points at Lucas. “You can let go of this one. I like to talk to him.”

The guard lets Lucas go. “Dang that hurt.” Mumbled Lucas as the hood was choking him out.

“You must be the young hero! I’ve heard everything about you.”

“YOU!” Ubuvu stepped out of his beast form and confronts tryphon. “Your the one thats been taking the poor souls! What are you doing with them?!”

“They’re an opportunity!” he yelled “when I heard talk about the Hubatians coming back in their monstrous selves and I thought about using them for my army.”

“You heartless creature! Those are innocent people who’ve been cursed and you care about some stupid army?!”

Lucas felt a strong energy coming off of Ubuvu as he looks like hes about to burst. Lucas tries to clam him down but before he could, something happened.

“Uuh, Ubuvu?”

“THATS IT!”

All of a sudden Lucas froze in place as he relized he can’t control his body as someone took over him. Everyone watches as they don’t know whats going on with Lucas until when Lucas speaks, he sounds more like the king himself.

“You…you shall be punished!” Ubuvu yelled as he took full control of Lucas. Ubuvu goes right after Tryphon as he chuckles “I don’t think so. You there, stop the young one!” Tryphon command as a purple and blue Stravulian goes after Lucas as the stravulian in question looks famailiar.

“SUZY!”

Jerry spots his own sibling being used for Tryphon’s wishes as he breaks free from the Stravulian’s clutches and chases after him in anger.

“Just wait till I get my hands on you I-” Tryphon took out his amulet and brain washes Jerry before he could lay a finger on Tryphon.

“Not so fast young lad.” He said with a smug on his face. “You didn’t think about this sooner have you? Now, be a good boy and don’t interfear with my plans.”

“Y-yes sir.” Jerry respond as hes in ontrol from the amulet.

“Very good.”

Tryphon looks up and sees “Lucas” and Suzy who look worn out from their fight as Ubuvu gets ready to take another swing, two stravulians came up and hold each of his arms to keep him from fighting as he struggles to break free.

“Let me go you- gasp!” Ubuvu looked at one of Lucas’ arm as he relized he took control of Lucas without warning.

“Oh no. W-what am I doing?” Ubuvu retreats as Lucas gains control again. Lucas looks lost as hes already exhausted. “W-what just happened?” Lucas asked.

“Good work everyone. Keep him steady.” Said Tryphon as he takes his amulet out. “Having a king like him should be interesting.”
