Lance departs for the area.

Everyone in school seems to be talking about a kid named Aquais' birhtday party. When the final bell rings, all the children race to the Bay Recreation Center, a large rec center run by Aquais' parents.

About half way through the party, a flaming creature immerges from the flames of the birthday candles. While everyone else in is awe, Lance arrives with several forest creatures. In all the chaos, the main characters (Ace, Roxy, Will, and Aquais) are left with the flaming creature to fight Lance and his forest creatures.

As the battle continues, the main characters discover that each of them have extraordinary powers. The flaming creature is hurt badly during the battle, but Roxy aids him.
