Isaac and his sorcerer looked over the hordes of creatures they had created, all of them fast asleep as none of them had been conditioned to serve Isaac and not to kill each other. There were goblins, trolls, demons and outright monsters, everything a child's worst imaginations could possibly come up with.

Isaac smiled at the site, everything was going to according to plan, as soon as they were all conditioned he was going to set them lose on London. Isaac was also considering something else. If he was going to be a good ruler he should always have a queen by his side. Granted Isaac really didn't know much about love or romance, especially considering him and Isabelle had received none from their own home. But he knew from fairy tales that all good kings had themselves a queen by their sides. And who better Isaac thought then the spunky girl he was keeping prisoner in the dungeon.

Isaac had to admit he rather liked Wendy for her courage and spunkiness, he could see the attraction that Peter himself had to her. The problem was that Wendy was too much of a goody two shoes, but Isaac knew that he could have that fixed no problem. Though he didn't want to turn Wendy into a mindless slave, just get rid of the better parts of her personality, the parts that made her so nice and sweet. He was sure that once that was gone that Wendy wouldn't be able to resist him.

"Everything is going exactly the way I want it" Isaac said with a smile

"I'm glad your pleased sir" The Sorcerer said smiling back, happy that he managed to please his master

"Yes I am, you have studied your craft well and have far exceeded my expectations. So long as you keep on performing this way you will no problems."

The two boys headed back to Isaac's throne room with the intent of meeting up with Isabelle. Isaac had told his sister to meet him there as soon as he was done checking on the army and as soon as she was done feeding Wendy's brothers. They had to plan out exactly what they were going to do once they had conquered Earth, knowing Isabelle it would likely be something involving boys.

When Isaac and his sorcerer entered they received a site that shocked them both. There was Isabelle sitting on her throne bound and gagged and sitting right next to her on Isaac's throne with one of his feet up over the arm was Peter with a cocky smile on his face.

"This a comfy throne, I wish I had one like it back in Neverland" Peter said admiring the leather throne he was sitting on

Isaac looked at Peter with a mix of shock and anger, "What are you still doing here? Did you not understand what I told you?" He asked angrily

"Perfectly" Peter said back "And you know what? As much as I hate growing up, I hate the idea of you conquering the other world even more. Besides what kind of place is Neverland even going to be if you're ruling the world and making sure no one has happy thoughts?"

Isaac just smiled, "Peter, Peter you never could get the bigger picture, now could you? Well let me explain it to you."

"Why we should we bow down to them, depending on their thoughts to make our worlds. If anything we should control them and their thoughts and dreams, we should be making our worlds the way we want them to be."

"That's not how it works Isaac" Peter finally said sternly and getting up from his seat

"Who says?" Isaac asked angrily "Who says how it all works or how it's supposed to work? We have the power Peter, the power to do anything, to be beyond just boys, we have the power of gods, we can be gods."

"I just wanted to have fun" Peter said matter of factly crossing his arms

"I just wanted to have fun" Isaac mimicked in a mocking tone "Well there's your problem, you're all about just having fun, about being always a boy, you never realized what power you truly had and just what you could have done with it."

Peter didn't know what power he truly had, though he had always been tied to Neverland he never really thought of it all that way. Peter never really bothered to think much of anything outside of his task at the moment; it had never really occurred to him that he was something of a god. But that's more or less what he was and its way everyone in Neverland except for pirates basically worshiped him. But it didn't matter for Peter, god or no god Peter had his limits and he wasn't about to let Isaac steam roll right over them.

"It doesn't matter anymore Isaac" Peter said drawing his sword "I'm not going to let you do this"

"Always want to play the hero huh" Issac said with a sigh "I guess in the end nothing really changes"

Isaac snapped his fingers and out from behind him came many of his Ogre guards, all of who surrounded Peter.

"Shame to" Isaac said with a smile "There was a time when I was really hoping we could have been friends, but no, you had to go and slice my eye."

"Good times" Peter said with a smile

"Yes well I'm going to have my good times. I may not be able to kill you but I can still beat you to a bloody pulp and put you right back where you started, which is as my mindless servant. And my sister's boy toy." Isaac added looking at his bound and gagged sister who just glared at him angrily

"Oh and by the way your little lady friend, I'm going to have her fixed and she is going to rule by my side"

Peter's look went from playful to completely angry at this point; one was going to do anything to his Wendy lady, not Hook and especially not Isaac. But Isaac was right about one thing the time for talking was officially over.

"You know Isaac there is one thing that did change about me from the last time we saw each other" Peter said in a harsh voice

"Really and what's that?" Isaac said with an over confident smirk

"This" Peter said before letting out a loud crow and in an instant all the other children led by Wendy charged into the room catching Isaac guards completely by surprise. All of them were armed having made a stop at Isaac's armory with a little help from Isaac's sister who wanted nothing more than to keep her head on.

Just as quickly as they came charging in Peter went and lounged at Isaac but was quickly blocked by one his guards and the two engaged in combat. Peter managed to quickly dispose of him before another one quickly attacked him. The other boys quickly disposed whoever they were fighting, Peter had taught them all well.

Unfortunately the three Darling children really weren't as well verse in combat as their other friends. And this had been their second battle while the others had spent quite some time battling both pirates and Indians. Also when it came down it to the pirates were cutthroat thieves and not true soldiers or warriors, Isaac's soldiers were all trained to protect him. This is why Peter made it clear that they had to take the ogres down quickly and not get into a dragged out fight.

That didn't help things especially with Wendy who was the most reluctant to outright kill anyone. The closet she had come was when she and John ducked under two pirates making them accidentally run each other through. This came as a big disadvantage when one of the ogres disarmed Wendy; she managed to dodge its attack but ended up being backed into a coroner by the ogres and another who had joined it.

Wendy called out for help which quickly caught Peter's attention while he was chasing both Isaac and his sorcerer and killing anyone who got in his way. He then quickly flew over to where Wendy was and decapitated one and ran through the other. Just then he looked back to see that Isaac had managed to grab his sister and tossed her over his shoulder and along with his sorcerer were making their way towards a secret exit that opened up in the wall.

"No" Peter cried out as he grabbed his crossbow, quickly armed it and aimed right at Isaac's head as he was heading into the passage. Though he had fired too late as Isaac and Isabelle had already gone through, however he had fired early enough to strike the sorcerer killing him instantly.

Just then the entrance closed up and Peter flew over trying to open it again but finding it completely sealed from the other side. There was nothing that even Tink could do to open it even with all of her fairy strength. Peter finally noticing his fairy glared at her with an angry, judgmental look.

"You should have stopped them Tink" Peter said meanly

If Tink had been paying attention she probably would have, but she was helping the others deal with the ogres that were in the room attacking them.

"It is not her fault" Wendy said "she was helping the rest of us"

Peter knew that Wendy was right but after everything that had happened he just wanted to kill Isaac and get it over with. Just then Peter finally noticed the sorcerer who was lying on the ground dead, an arrow having gone right through his head. Peter just stared at the body, he had killed many times in Neverland but every time he had forgotten about it right after. It's the thing that made killing so easy for him and while he had every intention of ending Isaac, seeing this boy just lay dead and not forgetting it made him feel very uneasy. Not to mention that he knew that he was the one who did it, the arrow came from his crossbow. Peter knew he shouldn't be feeling so bad for what he did since this was Isaac's sorcerer after all, but up until then he never really had to face a person he had actually killed before.

Wendy looked at Peter who was just staring at the boy with a blankness expression and knew that he was dealing with true guilt probably for the first time in a long time. And she was correct as Peter had never had to deal with guilt since he lived in Kensington Gardens and the last thing he had ever felt guilty about was leaving his mother. She really didn't know to what to say, as much as she liked to think that she had all the answers she was still just a girl.

Wendy was about to put her hand on his shoulder when they both got distracted by the sound of Tootles calling to them both.

"It's Slightly" he said excitedly "He's woken up, he's back"

Wendy quickly ran over to the scene where the boys were all gathered around their friend who was shaking his head and trying to get his bearings.

"Where am I?" Slightly asked confused

"What is the last thing you remember?" John asked

"I remember being dragged away by these giant trolls" Slightly said "They bought me to this boy and I think he cast some kind of strange spell. After that I think I was having some strange dream of being all alone with no around and searching forever"

"That must have been your nightmare" Wendy informed him

Upon seeing Wendy, Slightly got up and gave her a big hug so happy to see his adopted cousin again. He then hugged the rest of his family completely happy to finally be back with them all. He knew that as long as they were all together they could overcome anything. Just then it also occurred to him that he had left his friend Sarah, the girl that he had often had play dates with and who he secretly liked in those mines, along with many other children that were trapped down there.

"Sarah" Slightly asked "she is all right?"

"I certainly hope so" John said

"We have to help those other children" Wendy added "While there is still time"

Just then everyone turned to look at Peter who along with Tink had retrieved a blanket and were putting it over the body of the sorcerer. Peter then did a bow of respect that had been taught to him by the Indians a long time ago.

When he was done he turned to finally face the others and saw that his friend and most trusted lost boy was finally awake. It looked liked Apax was right when he said that killing the sorcerer would free Slightly.

"Good to have you back Slightly" Peter said

"Have you come to save us again?" Slightly asked

"Of course I have" Peter said crossing his arms and smiling trying to emulate his old cocky self, though as this adventure wore on that persona seemed harder and harder to keep up.

"Did you really think you were all going to have this adventure without me?"

"So what's our next plan" Tootles asked "Especially now that Isaac has gotten away."

"Well there are still all those children that Isaac has prisoner" Wendy said

"Yeah including my Sarah" Slightly said "I have to save her"

Peter looked at Slightly with a surprised look, his soft spoken passive friend had himself a lady friend, for some reason Peter never would have thought Slightly to be the type. Then again he had to remind himself that there was still a lot that he really didn't know.

"All right everyone" Peter said first triumphantly and then seriously "Let's go to work"
