-Steve-

As the squid rushed back to tell King Squid what had happened with Sky, he thought. Normally, squids don't think. But this one did. Why was his coat all... gray? Why had he told the squid that his mane wasn't Sky, it was Adam? What he should've said was "I will mess you up, Squid Army!" But he didn't. So the squid named Steve was rushing to tell the King Squid about the terrible news.

When Steve got to King Squid, he was shocked. The King Squid had made him that way!! "Go offer him a piece of budder," said King Squid. Steve made his way back to Sky's cage with a piece of budder. He found Sky huddled in the corner of his cage. His amulet was on the ground, still glowing purple. But somehow Sky was still living. Steve knocked on the door to Sky's cage. He turned around, and saw that a squid was there holding some yellow thing. "What do you want, squid?" "Ummm, I came to give this to you."Steve saw that Sky was wearing a different amulet, one that looked just like his other one, except it was gray instead of purple and budder.  He offered the budder to Sky. "What's that?" Sky asked. "It's an enchanted piece of budder."  said Steve.

" I don't want it. And what's budder?" Sky turned to go back in the corner. Steve tossed the budder in the cage. He didn't want it, either.

-Sky-

As he went back into the corner, Sky heard the 'budder' clang onto the floor. He didn't want it. He didn't care. His friends were as useless as this thing. It wasn't worth anything. But something about this budder made him pick it up. It was glowing yellow, probably from the enchanting. He studied it, and it was emitting a low sound, not loud enough to hear. But it got louder. And it turned into a song. "Budder...Budder....Budder..." it started with. Then, it started singing Sky's own Budder Song!! It got so loud that Sky threw it into the river surrounding him. He didn't want to listen to it. It was a song. He wasn't in the mood for a song right then.

-Ty-

"Okay, are we ready, guys?" He had explained the whole thing about Sky being captured to the rest of them. Everyone was ready to go out and save Sky. They ventured forth until they got to the spot it had happened. Suddenly, Ty heard a familiar song.  "You can keep your diamonds, emeralds, and iron.... all I need is Budder to build up my temple...."

"Guys! Do you hear that? It's Sky! Singing the budder song! He's alright!"

"I'm not too sure about that, Ty..."

And Jason pointed to a gray Sky, sitting in a cage.
