XY slides the knife across Tims throat.

"How does it feel? Metal is quite nice to the touch." -XY

"What do you want to do with the artifact anyway?" -Tim

"You see. You're gifted." -XY

"But you are simply a strand of me." -Tim

"Created in a lab. We both know Tim." -XY

"We can be friends. I'm sure we can conquer the world." -Tim

"Survival of the fittest." -XY

Tim tries to break free again but fails.

"It's really simple to escape Tim." -XY

"Where are we?" -Tim

"We're headed towards the southern portal. Once there, we'll be teleported to a different dimension. Once we enter through the portal, the spirit world will be no more." -XY

"And then we'll lose all of our powers. Everybody that's capable will lose their abilities." -Tim

"Exactly. Everything will be balanced." -XY

Tim struggles to escape.

"You're finished Tim." -XY

XY stabs Tim in the chest.

Tim faints.

The team are aboard the airship and are heading towards the southern portal.

"What happens if we go through that portal?" -Dexter

"The entire spirit world gets destroyed." -Nicole

"Great. He's forcing us to move." -Phoenix

"Why though?" -Dexter

"The spirit world is the center of all energy. Once it gets destroyed, there will be no more energy. It will be left to mankind to discover it's energy once more." -Nicole

"Why can't we stay here?" -Sam

"Once XY enters through that portal, that bomb you guys disarmed will be forced to start again and we'll have..." -Nicole

"One minute and thirty-seven seconds." -Dexter

"We better get to the southern portal as soon as possible." -Nicole

The team arrived at the southern portal a few hours later.

"I'm surprised XY hasn't entered yet. I won-" -Nicole

An explosion hits the airship.

"Shit. Everybody, jump out!" -Phoenix

Everybody jumps out from the airship to the ground.

The airship crashes aganist the ground, triggering a massive earthquake.

"Great." -Nicole

Another earthquake followed through with that one.

"Okay, everybody into the portal." -Nicole

They all enter through the portal and went inside of the dimension.

They were spawned on a hill overlooking a massive city. Dexter looks all around them.

"It seems we're on a island." -Dexter

"There's a massive bridge on the opposite side. That is where we go." -Nicole

"Why?" -Dexter

"We have to go back to earth as we know it." -Phoenix
