After Susan walked towards the lake, Hayley, June and Sierra watched Jaxon with weary expressions.
"Will you stop looking at me like that?" Jaxon asked after enduring their stares for 2 minutes.
"Okay, what 'really' happened when you were unconscious?" Hayley asked with scepticism. June and Sierra stared at Jaxon intensely.
Awkwardly looking away Jaxon said, "Nothing happened, just forget about it. I think Susan needs us." Before rushing towards the lake.
"We'll have to keep an eye on him," Hayley said to June and Sierra as she watched Jaxon's panicked figure rush toward the lake.
"Let's go help Susan," Sierra added as she rushed to the lake as well. Rolling her eyes Hayley followed along with June.
Huddling together June asked Susan, "What are you looking for?"
"When we fell into the lake I felt a large quantity of energy coming from somewhere in the lake," Susan answered as she tried to peer into the clear lake.
"I just can't seem to see the bottom," Susan added as she smoothed her curly hair back.
"Should we... enter?" June asked as she looked at their expressions.
Pressing her lips together Susan nodded with a frown.

Looking up Li Han and Su Hoayu froze in absolute terror.
"Oh, you appear terrified, I didn't see this expression when you met January." January chuckled as her blood-red pupils turned slowly turned gold.
Hearing this, Li Han's eyebrows crumpled together.
"Stop this joke January, it's not funny!"
"Oh, January's not here right now, you may call me Akeldama, but if it to much to pronounce Akel's fine," Akel said with a smile.
Su Hoayu turned white in fear upon hearing that name.
"Did anything happen to the demon when you were there?!!" Su Hoayu hurriedly asked with terror, his amber iris trembled as he held Li Han's shoulders.
Li Han: "Nothing happened."
Akel watched Su Hoayu and Li Han panic with a subtle smile, however, her eyes showed no hint of a smile.
Watching Su Hoayu and Lin Han, Akel continued, "Let me continue my self-introduction."
Li Han and Si Hoayu cautiously watched Akel as she sat on the window sill behind the chair, Su Hoayu walked towards Li Han, never breaking eye contact with Akel.
"As I said before my name is Akeldama, second heir to the throne, the demon you were talking about is January, my secondary personality."
Li Han: "What do you mean secondary personality?"
"Well every royal demon has 2 personalities, there are initially five, but the strongest live on, I found January interesting, so... I let her live," Akel explained.
Narrowing her eyes she glanced towards the door with amusement. "Your current technology doesn't work on me you know."
Slamming his plans on the redwood table, Su Hoayu asked threatening, "What do you want?"
"Now we're talking!" Exclaimed Akel with a wide grin as her golden irises gleamed brightly.

As they got ready to jump in, June hurriedly exclaimed, "Wait, don't you feel this entire situation... feels peculiar?"
Susan: "What are you implying?"
"I mean, everything that occurred felt off, the strong walls of the base suddenly collapsed, or the fact the other people in the base suddenly disappeared. I mean did you hear any screams except ours?" June's voice echoed within the caves.
Susan abruptly roared,"There was something wrong with the biscuits!"
Hayley: "Okay, can somebody explain what the hell is going on!"
"Remember, around 2 weeks ago, Jaxon ate a mushroom." Susan slowly explained.
