Dude led us into a room filled with armors. Mal called out for him repeatedly. Annie and Cecelia preferred to stay near the door. I felt two pairs of eyes on me.

"Jay, stop worrying. Harry, stop checking me out," I said as I walked around.

Uma sighed. "I bet you lost some sleep with me on the loose, huh?"

"No. Dragons don't really lose sleep." Mal paused. "I wonder what fried octopus tastes like."

"Okay. Why do we not do this-"

"We're celebrating our differences," Uma said as Something stirred in the air.

"I believe we're being challenged."

I looked over at the girls. "Let's split up and look for Audrey."

"That makes absolutely no sense. Unless you give me my ember, she's going to spell you," Mal argued.

"Girls!" Harry snapped. "We have a situation here."

I looked over at the knight in horror. It was moving, and pink and green magic burst off of it.

"Do you like a prince, Mal? How about a knight in shining armor? Or knights?"

Audrey's evil laugh rang through the air as the armors around us burst to life. The cobra turned into a sword as my eyes swirled with red and blue.

Watch your back, watch your back

Watch your back, watch your back

We can counter their attack

Hit 'em 'til the armor cracks

This could get a little sticky

How to win this battle could be tricky

But I know the best way

Fall back let me lead, you hold the line

And we'll bring them to their knees

Swords in the air if you're with me

They got us outnumbered one to fifty

But victory is ours

'Cause I got a strategy, you take the left

And the rest of you can follow me (uh-uh)

This is my crew

Well this is my squad

This is my turf

Oh my gosh, look guys

We've got bigger fish to fry

Put your differences aside

'Cause right now we're on the same side

Until the night falls, everyone

We'll stay together 'til the battle is done

Watch your back, watch your back

Watch your back, watch your back

We can counter their attack

Hit 'em 'til the armor cracks

Until the night falls, we're aligned

It doesn't mean that we're on the same side

Watch your back, watch your back

Watch your back, watch your back

Hit 'em hard and hit 'em fast

They're too heavy to react
