Samantha was in Applease looking for Shoto. She went into Brim and asked an attendant, if there have seen any of the Rubix Cube. The attendant told her she could not say. When she got out three men approached her and offered to help her find Shoto. She was flattered, she accepted their offer and they continued the search.
Back at Heltons, Ryan had come down, and was still strapped to the bench. They left him outside the whole night.
"Hello, guy... I need some help here", Ryan screamed for help.
Lawhey heard him screaming and came out. He unstrapped him from the bench. Ryan wasn't happy with what happened. When the enter the house, he slammed the door and woke up Shoto and Helton.
Helton got up and started his daily workout, then Lawhey joined him.
"Hey, you are back", Helton said when he saw Ryan.
Ryan did not say a word, he fell like a tree on the bed by Helton.
"All you have to do is control it, and we'll be fine. You should try to hold your rage, meditation may help with that.", Helton suggested as he looked at Ryan on the bed. Ryan made no indication he heard what Helton was saying.
When Ryan didn't mind him, he got up and walked out of the room. He went to his desk and opened a book with a marker.
Samantha was getting fed up, her guides were useless. Someone who saw them pass days ago, told Samantha and the guy which way they went.
The followed the direction they were given, then after a while one of the guys said.
"Any further and we would have exited Applease."
"if we continue it will be days before we get to the meadow. There is nothing there for miles.", one of the guys said
"Hey how about we visit the Smith, we are already here. Let's see him before we get back", some of the guys said.
"Smith, as in one from the Smithsonian?", Samantha asked and looked at the in the face.
She saw there were serious.
"I'll love to see this Smith", she said in approval.
The guys lead the way to Heltons. Shoto was outside working out, Samantha smiled when she saw him. The other guys hurried towards him.
"You, we have a bone to pick with you. You and your friends beat my brother and help destroy a good man's name."
The man was talking, when Shoto got up and walked pass him. He looked at Samantha all surprised.
"What are you doing here?", Shoto asked her.
"Looking for you, I see you are still sleeping with the enemy", Samantha said and Shoto chuckled.
The some of men walked over to them.
"Sam, we will take care of him, you guys should handle the others", they said to Samantha.
Shoto squinted looking at Samantha.
"My name is Samantha, not Sam", she said to them.
"Okay, just leave him for us", the men said.
"You guy can't take him", Samantha said to the four men.
"We will be fine", they said in return.
Samantha agreed and stepped back, she watched them as Shoto beat them. The other two joined but it made no difference.
Then one of the men yelled.
"Sam please help"
Suddenly her skin turned black, her scales were all over her body. The men were surprised, they didn't know she was a dragon. Their surprise turn into happiness, they were glad they had a dragon on their side.
Then Samantha grabbed one of the men by the head and planted it in the ground.
Shoto withdrew, he stood there watching Samantha. She punched one guy and he vomited on her. She punched him till all his teeth fell out.
Moments later all the men were on the floor.
"I see you still loose it if you are called Sam", Shoto said to Samantha who was covered in blood.
