He's not dead

8:00 that night,

''We're here'' Sally said

''Whoa, it looks more magical in real life'' Ben said with eyes wide open staring at the frozen lake ''Look at that corner, it looks like something was dropped into it, the water froze like that'' he was in awe so he didn't notice the look on their faces, until…

''Say one more word and you'll be buried at an early age… alive'' Cal' said as he arrived holding a pair of gloves and a headset

''Sorry…''

''Why do you have that?'' Sally asked

''Just in case'' he said ''Let's get to work'' he said putting on ice skates, like the others

''Are we skating? I wasn't told I didn't bring mine'' Ben said feeling down

''Just stay there and be ready to throw what we ask you for'' Sally said pointing at a box filled with supplies mainly used for cutting ice

''… okay'' he said slowly as he watched them skate to the point of impact as Ben calls it

''Don't worry, you'll soon understand what they're doing'' Ben heard a soft voice beside him and turned his head to find Tyler holding the headphones in his hand ''You know, we weren't always this cold, especially Cal'. He used to smile all the time, we all used to… until 'that' happened. It's good they're finally coming back here after two weeks of avoiding this place''

''What happened?''

''… Do you know why this lake is frozen?''

''No… do you?''

''It's because there is something inside or should I say someone'' he said ''See that point of impact, something wasn't dropped into it… someone fell into it''

''What, really? Oh my god… so that's why. Who was it?'' he asked

''You'll find out really soon, just watch them'' he said pointing at the others who were discussing about something I couldn't hear as they were quite far.

…

''Is it frozen completely or just the surface?'' Cal' asked Jayce who had his ear pressed down to the ice

''It's just the surface, I can hear the water'' he replied as he got back on his feet

''So we just have to cut the ice, right?'' Sally asked

''Yeah''

''Okay, let's get cutting then'' Gwen said and turned to Ben ''We need the ice cutter, 2 of them!'' she yelled so he could hear her

Back on land…

''How do I get it over there?''

''Just throw it''

''What?'' Ben said looking at Tyler like he was crazy

''Just throw it, Sally would catch it, trust me'' Ben wanted to laugh but looking at the serious look in his eyes he stopped and looked back at them

''Okay, here I go…'' he said and threw the cutters with all his energy, as expected… it didn't go very far. Just before it touched the ice, it paused in midair and began to slowly move to them. With his mouth wide open, Ben looked at them to see Sally's palm open and pointing to the cutters, they slowly got to them and they started working like nothing just happened, he slowly turned to see Tyler smiling like a fool

''… What was that?'' he asked

''They're special…'' he said turning to Ben ''They have powers, oh and Jayce is a werewolf'' he said nonchalantly

''A WHAT?!''

''jeez… you have an exceptionally loud voice, you heard me right''

''Holy shit! They're real''

''Look, they're getting to work'' Tyler said snapping Ben out of his daydream

…

''Well, what're we doing now?'' Sally asked as they pulled a large piece of ice to see inside

''I see him; I can see him'' Gwen said as she peered inside on her knees

''New question, how do we get him out?''

''Can't you just scoop him out?'' Jayce asked

''That's not possible''

''Why?''

''Because there's no air in water'' she said looking at Jayce like he was a fool before suddenly looking at Gwen ''But there's earth underwater''

''I don't think I can control it like this'' Gwen said

''You won't know until try…'' Cal' said staring into the water

Looking at him, they all knew he would do something stupid if they don't come up with a plan now, Gwen suddenly got on her knees and dipped her hands into the water, then suddenly retracting them ''It's so cold''

''Here, let me warm up a part for you'' Lizzie said. They found out the reason Lizzie wasn't affected by Mikey's ice, was because she was fire. The moment his ice comes in contact with her, her body automatically starts melting it to protect her, so they found a way for her to utilize it and it worked…

Lizzie dipped her hands in the water a shh… sound was heard

''Try it now'' she said with her hands still in the water, Gwen did it again and closed her eyes trying to concentrate

''I got it'' she said and opened her eyes to get the exact place Mikey was in and pulled him out ''Sally, it's your turn''

''okay…'' she said as she lifted him and moved him to land before quickly skating there. Laying him on the floor, the others surrounded him, he didn't look like how they remembered. His hair was longer reaching his shoulders and it was white, before they could say anything, the ice started to crack

Kaa…

Crack… CRASH…

The ice suddenly broke into pieces as a Japanese dragon flew into the air and started to twist and turn like it was dancing

''Holy shit! It's a dragon'' Ben yelled.

While still in the air, it's eyes locked unto them on land before it flew higher and disappeared into the clouds

''Is it just me or did it look at us first?'' Ben asked

''It did''

ROAR…, a terrifyingly loud sound echoed in the air, they looked up only to see the dragon rushing towards them at full speed. Before they could even think about what to do, it was already right in front of them as it dived straight to the unconscious Mikey. The moment it touched him, it disappeared into nothingness like it was never there

''What in the world just happened?'' Ben asked, before anyone could reply to him, they heard Jayce's voice

''He's breathing''

''What?''

''Mikey, he's breathing, he's alive''
