-BC was parked away from the cafe, he had gone to the caves to find a place to stay. He couldn't fit in a Cozy Cone, and those caves were the only big enough shelter he could find. He entered the same one he had been in before, hoping that nobody would be there this time. He backed into a dark corner, and fell asleep. He was only woken by the sound of Adrian passing him. He coasted forward, and turned over his engine to follow. Something was up, and it was about time this town started talking to him. BC stayed back far enough that he could turn on his headlights, and hopefully not be seen. Although, as big as he was, missing him in a crowd was like missing a haystack in a needle. BC pulled up slowly behind Adrian, and spoke quietly:- Psst... psst... what're you doing? -This being the only car in the town that even acknowledged his presence, BC figured she'd be friendly enough to acknowledge him again.-

"Okay," Chase said shifting into gear.
~~~~~
Grayston growled as everything started to fizzle out. There went his advantage.
(((Nor with Phoenix... Maybe She and Ebony are somewhere with Sheila)))

((Ebony, your post is on the previous page, sorry about that.))
"It's personal." Adrian said annoyed. She wanted to do this alone. She looked around, assuring herself that it was just BC, no one else. "And where I am going is too narrow for a combine, I'm sorry."

"Let's go find them," agreed Boost, also shifting into gear.
~~~~~
The innerscape fizzled out and the two magic-users were finally thrust back into their real bodies. Jade, however, was unconscious due to the fact that she had been injured within the Innerscape.
There was the roar of a V10 engine approaching the Butte... Ebony had seen both Jade and Grayston leave town so she had decided to follow them at a distance so she wouldn't be spotted. When she saw that Jade was unnaturally still, she started to speed up, feeling both worry and anger at the same time.
What did Grayston do to Jade?
(((((OOC: As well as Amber and General Lee as they have NOTHING to do as well as Krill, Melody, Shale, and Indigo... Maven's currently tied up with Edward Jr. so I can't use her until Reiji comes online... and I'm beginning to miss Riza again... that's why I'm trying to think up ways for her characters to be useful so that she'll come back... but I just had an idea for Ebony... and maybe Phoenix is with her...)))))

((And Phoenix, since Jade is knocked out, Grayston has his powers back.))

Alright. Didn't mean to offend you. -BC backed out of the cave, and returned to his sleeping place. This place didn't seem any different from everywhere else he went. He drifted off to sleep there in the cave, hoping that when he woke up, perhaps the townsfolk would trust him a little more.-

((BC, sorry about this, but I deleted the post where she had entered the cave and lab to add some credibility, and I thought it had gone unnoticed.))
Seeing the pained expression on the combiner, Adrian shook her hood. "BC wait." She said. "How about I make it up to you? There is a field a mile or so west of town. I don't know if it is a tractor field, but it is something. I was going to tell you tomorrow."

"Maybe they're at the Butte," Chase suggested. "Mom does always go out there when she's upset."
~~~~~
Grayston panted and smirking now that the block was finally gone. He growled when he heard engines coming and waved his antenna and cast a invisblity spell and disappeared into the desert.
Phoenix shook of the dizzyness of her powers suddenly returning to her as she followed Ebony with Sheila.

Adrian was now inside the cave, leaving the black combine outside. She looked around and kept her engine off so that she wouldn't make a sound. After some silent crawling on her tires, she heard the two SUVs talking together so carelessly that they must have not expected anyone coming tonight. Adrian noted their position, and knew that there was another way in the lab, and if she kept quiet enough, the SUVs wouldn't hear her.
As she entered the lab, she inspected everything she could understand quietly, and looked at some of the things she didn't understand, but those were numerous. She stopped for a while to look at the black structure which contained her father, wishing that the solution to free him would just come to her.

T'ank you... -BC replied with a slight nod. It had been years since his old systems were ran, and tonight, he had that inner feeling of, "I need to harvest something." To a combine, that was a mixture of depression, anger, and whatever other negative emotion he could take out on a crop. He pulled away from the cave, and drove off in the direction Adrian had given him. Ah, a wheat field... ripe, too. He hadn't seen that kind of a crop in ages. Thinking about the way the townsfolk seemed to not even acknowledge his presence, BC lowered his header, and started in on the crop, cutting it to a perfect 3" height, his headlights on high beam, and going a full-harvesting-speed of 15 MPH. He was haulin' ass, and doing something else while he was at it... he was making a crop circle. His design: a large, intricate Celtic knot, the entire formation being nearly 400 feet across.-

"We can check there," said Boost, turning his front in the direction of the Butte. He paused, listening with his sharp hearing, "Hmmm... I hear engines. Wonder what's going on."
~~~~~
Ebony pulled up to see Jade laying unconscious and hurt on the ledge. Something had happened to the Enzo woman and Ebony was getting the distinct scent that told her who it was.
"Jade! Oh, Chrysler!"

"Is that Mom?" Chase asked. His hearing wasn't as sharp as his father's yet.
~~~~~
Phoenix pulled up close. She reconigzed the signature. "Grayston did this."

"Yeah, as well as your Aunt Ebs," replied Boost, "They both sound urgent. Something's happened there and it doesn't smell right."
~~~~~
"I saw both him and Jade head out here when I came back to town. Look at the slashes she has. What did he do to her?" said Ebony, pulling up the unconscious Enzo.

Though Adrian was not gaining much understanding in the equipment as she was merrily inspecting it, she was gaining some understanding in electronics. She noticed where each part of the system connected. But she couldn't risk doing it now, knowing that her father had perhaps been comatose for a year. She had to wait for Jade.
She memorized where the production was plugged in, where the black chamber was plugged in, and it unfortunately shared what looked like life support. She had to get better understanding of the doors to the chamber, and how magic and technology behaved together. For Jade not able to open the door earlier today, did say something, but Adrian didn't know what.

"Should we go see?" Chase asked.
~~~~~
"I sense his lightning as usual," Phoenix mummered. "And a fire spell along with a earthen sheild. He's used his magic somehow. Must have gone into the ineerscape."
