Zena and her kidnappers walked down a large cobblestone hallway, Zena was looking down the whole time. The three escorting her were laughing and shoving each other, but soon got serious when they reached double doors, they were made of metal and gold with silver lining. The muscular one knocked on the doors as it soon opened, revealing a large throng room. Sitting upon a gold throne was a Gigantio the didn't look like her kidnappers, he was muscular like the red one with dark green eyes, he and spikes and horns on his head, he looked like a mutated horn toad. "Welcome my dear, I'm sorry we must meet like this, I had to meet you by yourself. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Pharax." he said with a calm façade, Zena narrowed her eyes at Pharax as he then orders "Get her out of those binds, they're unnecessary." the blue one dose as told and removes the mussel from her snout as she huffs.
       "I must say it's quite the surprise Ignitus took you as his mate...I was going to do that myself." Pharax stood from his throne as Zena eyes him down, as he approached the red one says "Careful, She's tricky to handle." Pharax looked at him "I'm well aware Savalios, I have my means of keeping her in my rule and control." he says as Savalios leave with the other two. "Please forgive my colleagues, the don't know how hard it is to have someone to care for...would you like something to eat? Drink?" he asked as she remains silent. "The silent type I see?" he laughs as Zena growls slightly out of anger.
       Meanwhile on Gigantio Island, Ignitus has called a meeting while Rai was talking with the council. "That's terrible! We'll conduct a search at once." said Merahra Rai nodded as he went on his way back towards Ignitus. Ignitus as pacing causing he was scared and worried about Zena, since their bond isn't strong enough, he can't locate her. Bismuth was worried about his friend and leader, He is never like this but just seeing him like this is nerve racking. From the ocean a Lizard of orange and red emerged, It spoke with a low male tone: "I'm searching for King Ignitus!". Ignitus approached him with fury in his eyes, "I've come here to tell you that Lord Pharax plans to take your mate as his, and I came here to help you stop him.".
       Ignitus' eyes oval eyes turned to slits as he grabbed the unknown Gigantio by the neck and said "You said Pharax had her correct?" the Unknown nodded repeatedly. Ignitus growls as he turns to Bismuth who froze up, "Want you and..." he looks at the Unknown "Savalios" the Unknown states "Savalios, to look through Pharax's palace and see if you can find Zena, me and the others will meet you there." Ignitus orders as Bismuth nodded. As Savalios and Bismuth left for Pharax's palace, Savalios says before they leave "Beware of Pharax's shifting powers." Ignitus' face fell in remembering. Meanwhile Pharax watched Zena as she fought against his best warriors, yet she was able to beat them, he then had an idea, he never thought of using it but under these circumstances he must, he shifted in Ignitus and walked towards Zena, she looked at Pharax and went wide eyed, Pharax smiled "Hello Zena" he smiled/smirked as Zena hugged him. "It's alright now you safe now." he said but Zena took a whiff of him and froze.
       "What's wrong?" he asked at Zena the shoved him off her, she growls at him as he shifts back into his normal shape. He smirks "So you can tell the difference between me and..." he was cut off by Zena grabbing his throat "You better listen up, I am not some prize to be won, I am a Gigantio and you better respect that." she drops him as she walks away, he stood up. "You want me to be the bad guy here, fine by ME!" He shifts into a large snake creature, Zena's eyes went wide as Pharax struck the ground. Meanwhile Savalios and Bismuth made it to the palace and saw guards at the gate, "What do we do?" Bismuth looked at Savalios, who didn't look at him while replying "Sneak in." Savalios gets up and looks at Bismuth, "Bismuth pretend you're my prisoner. That way we can sneak in and let Ignitus in through the main gate." said Savalios as Bismuth nodded and did as told. Bismuth pretended to be a prisoner, "I found this one trying to sneak in." said Savalios as the guards moved out of the way, as soon as they got in Bismuth looked at Savalios impressed "I'm impressed." he said as Savalios nods "You're not too shabby yourself." he says as the two ran to find Zena. Meanwhile Zena was trying to avoid Pharax's attacks, "You can't run forever!" he shouted in his hissing voice. "You can't fight forever!" She telepathically yells as she dodged another attack, she tries to fire her pulse beams but it didn't work.
          Zena ran in all sorts of directions to dodge Pharax's attacks. She then gets smacked into the wall, which hurt a lot, she winced in pain as she looks forward. Pharmacy transformed back into his original form, "Now are you willing to corporate?" He asked as some force froze him in place, Zena gets up as she looked at him and growls "At least that works." She thought as she telekinetically shoved Pharax to the wall. Pharax yells out in pain as Zena walks to Pharax as she grabs his neck and shove him into the wall, Zena growls at him and attempts to claw at his face, but Pharax smacks her in the face. She flew backward into a wall, Pharax lands on the floor and hurting. "You are stronger than I thought you were but sadly, not strong enough." he was about to strike her when a fist collides with his face, causing him to roar in pain. He looked at the attacker and it turns out to be Bismuth, "Bismuth?" Zena asked as Bismuth looked at him and smiled. "Yeah it's me, let deal with this guy first." Zena nodded but couldn't get up "It's ok Zena, rest until Ignitus gets here, while me and Savalios here get Pharax." Savalios appeared as Zena was shocked but she nodded.
        Bismuth and Savalios turned their attention to Pharax, meanwhile Ignitus and the others were in the middle of a fight, Ignitus kick an enemy soldier as he flew in the air. He can sense Zena in the palace, so he darts in after her as he also sensed her being injured. As he flew into the throne room he saw Zena on the floor watching Bismuth and Savaios fight Pharax. Ignitus dove to Zena and embraced her in his arms, "Are you alright?" Zena nodded and hugged him tight. Ignitus held her in return as Pharax looked at the pair and laughed "So the mighty Ignitus has finally arrived." he laughed some more as Ignitus growls, "Save me formality Pharax, this is between you and me!" he stood up while Zena looked at him and attempted to stand but fails. Pharax laughs "Don't be quick for a fight old friend...for i'm going enjoy this." Pharax flew into the air and summoned his plasma attack.
       "Sayonara Ignitus!" Pharax shouted as he fired his attack, all Zena can hear was "Stop the blast..." Zena stood up and looked at the blast, Ignitus growls as Zena stood in front of all of them. "Zena!" cried Ignitus as she lifts her palm up and a green ball of energy formed. Her face remained emotionless as she fried her plast. Causing Pharax's attack to explode on impact, "WHAT!?" cried Pharax as everyone looked at Zena in awe. Zena's grey eyes turn back to off white as she collapsed, Ignitus quickly caught her. Pharax was awe by her power and her will to fight, he then laughs "What an interesting turn off events, she'll make a perfect queen." Ignitus' eyes glow blue in anger, he clinches his fist as he teleports in front of Pharax. "YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH MY MATE OR I'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!" Ignitus roars as Pharax widened his eyes. Pharax nodded repeatedly as Ignitus' eyes turn back to red and few back towards Zena and picked her up "Let's go home." Ignitus says as the others followed.
