==Chapter Twenty-Three: Rescue Mission==
As the four were running through the jungle, Daisy called Thorn.
"Okay, just don't go in there by yourself. We'll be there as back-up." Thorn said.
"Right." Daisy said.
Thorn told Kyle and Rose that they had found Midnight.
"Hey, guys." Cocoa said. "Looks like the Alphas just left. Wonder where they went."
"The Mystic Ruins." Thorn said. "We need to tell Noon."
They went to the infirmary and found Noon and Aurgentum kissing.
Thorn cleared her throat.
"Sorry to interrupt but we've got some news that's a little more important than making out." Thorn said.
Thorn explained the situation as Aurgentum left.
"You're saying Alpha Squad kidnapped Quartz, Aurum, and Midnight?" Noon asked.
"Yes," Kyle said. "Daisy said they're going to kill her by the next full moon...tonight."
"I can teleport us there." Thorn said.
"You've been practicing." Noon said.
"Yeah, no thanks to you." Thorn replied.
The group made a hasty circle.
"Ianuae Magicae ad mystica nobis Ruins!" Thorn exclaimed.
Nails ran into the room.
"Guys!" she yelled.
The group had already begun to glow and didn't hear her. Nails ran next to them and touched Thorn's shoulder.
The group teleported away.
Honey walked towards the prison block as if she was in a daze.
"Honey, wait!" Daisy called. "Thorn said to stay outside!"
"We have to follow her." Quartz said.
"Come on, then." Lana said.
The group went into the prison block.
They went down the stairs into the old ruins. There was a lavender light showing them the way.
A flash of blue light emanated in front of them.
"Thorn!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Hi," Thorn said.
"I'm Lana, Honey's cousin." Lana told her.
"Nice to meet you. This is Kyle, Rose, Cocoa, and Noon." Thorn replied.
"You're Midnight's brother." Lana guessed.
"Yeah." Noon replied.
"Where's Honey?" Quartz asked.
"She was right here..." Daisy said.
The group ran through the main room and to the upper right door. The door was ajar.
"Rose, you okay?" Cocoa asked. Rose was moving slowly due to her boot.
"I'll be fine." Rose said. "You go ahead."
"Okay." he said.
"Rose!" Nails exclaimed.
"Nails?" Rose asked.
"Get in here." Nails said.
"What?"
"Just do it!"
Nails brought Rose into a storage room.
"Stay in here. Don't come out until the fighting starts." Nails told her.
"Okay..." Rose said.
Nails hastily left.
Footsteps came by the door. Rose saw two wolves, black and brown. Jonathon and Robert.
"I smell something." Robert said, sniffing.
Rose kicked a dead rat near the doorway.
"Please. Your nose is acting up." Jonathon said. "Just rats."
Quartz, Daisy, Lana, Thorn, Kyle, Noon, and Cocoa found Honey in a cell, standing over Midnight.
Honey turned around, eyes glazed over, shaking her head.
"Midnight!" Noon exclaimed. He ran to her and put his hand to her pulse. It was faintly there.
"Noon, heal her!" Kyle said.
"Sana!" Noon cried. His hands glowed white.
Midnight groaned, opening her eyes.
Honey blinked. Her eyes were no longer glazed over.
"Wha...?" Honey asked.
"Hello, Nails." Jonathon said, grabbing her from her hiding place. "It's been a while."
"Let's get out of here..." Thorn said.
Three statues surrounding the cells came to life.
"Ancient Echidna traps!" Lana exclaimed.
"She can't fight in this condition." Kyle said, motioning to Midnight.
"We'll take care of her." Cocoa said.
"And I can fight if necessary." Daisy said.
"Alright." Thorn said.
"Guys, form a defensive circle." Kyle said.
The five came back-to-back against the statues.
"They're Gizoids..." Lana said in awe.
"Which means they're nearly impossible to defeat!" Noon exclaimed.
"We have to beat them somehow..." Quartz said.
Rose came out of her hiding place. She heard the group fighting the Gizoids.
"What can I do, what can I do?" Rose asked herself.
She noticed a light on the other side of the room. She went inside the room, and found numerous Gizoids stuck in place, or in pieces.
"I've got it!" Rose exclaimed.
She hobbled as fast as she could to the switch.
The Gizoids were beating Thorn, Noon, Kyle, Quartz, Lana, and Honey to a pulp.
"Flante!" Thorn and Noon yelled.
The spell that was supposed to blast the Gizoids back only made them step back a few steps. Suddenly, the power surged on and off. The Gizoids' eyes glowed red, and an electric current overcame them. They fell to the ground, disabled.
"Let's get out of here!" Thorn exclaimed.
"Is Midnight okay?" Noon asked Cocoa and Daisy.
"She should be fine, given rest." Daisy said.
The group of eight exited the Nocturnus Prison and met Rose outside.
"You have me to thank for saving all your lives." Rose said, explaining how she pulled the switch.
"And, I have Nails to thank for saving mine." Rose said.
"What? Nails was here?" Noon asked.
"Yeah." Rose said. "She told me to hide, then disappeared."
Jonathon and Robert brought Nails into the jungle.
"What do you want?" Nails asked. "To kill me?"
"If you do kill me, G.U.N. will be all over you. They'll know it was wolves." Nails said.
"No, we don't want to kill you." Jonathon said. "We require a new member of our pack. I think you can guess who."
Nails' eyes widened.
"But why did you kidnap Quartz and Midnight?" she asked.
"We wanted to see which would rescue them." Jonathon said. "Unfortunately, the cat got in the way of our plans so we had to send Elizabeth and Emily after her. But they did not succeed in their mission. And now, a complete rescue mission from 'Omega Squad' took place."
"Are you going to see who will rescue me now?" Nails asked.
"No." Jonathon said. "Now, we watch, listen, and wait until the moment is right to approach the new recruit."
"And why tell me this?"
"Because if you don't help us, I promise you, the one you care for most will die." Jonathon said.
The group teleported to the G.U.N. Fortress.
"Midnight..." Quartz asked, "where's Aurum? She was still there when I got away."
"Ugh..." Midnight groaned. She began to cry.
"She's gone..."
