Kail finally gets slit with one of
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Jackal’s cards.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“I’ve had enough of you humans!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Prepare to suffer!” Jackal yells.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The entire terrain gets a bluish tint
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
to it. Veronica warps away, and everyone
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
begins to float off the ground. Synan looks
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
up and sees a faint shimmering glow from
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
above. They are underwater. Zoe, Synan,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and Kail swim upward toward to the surface.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The surface only gets further and further away
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
from them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan finally runs out of air. He
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
soon realizes that he can breathe under the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
water. Zoe and Kail soon realize too. They
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
can also speak perfectly under the water.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Let’s get to the exit!” Zoe yells.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“This way!” Synan says. Zoe, Synan,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and Kail swim along the dark path under the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
water. The path just comes to an end, nothing
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
ahead but more odd-shaped mountains.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“The exit isn’t here!” Zoe yells. Kail
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
swims over to Synan.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Synan. I know how to use the Dark
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Stone. Since we both have one, we should
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
stand a pretty good chance against Jackal.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“How do you use it?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Kail touches Synan’s forehead. Synan
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
soon gets a golden flame around him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Wow... how did you do that?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“I made you power up to a mega-monster.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“How?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“You are not meant to learn how to do
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
it yourself yet.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“How do you know that?” Synan asks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Kail powers up and flies through the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
water back toward Jackal. Synan follows.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Okay, then I guess I’ll wait here then...”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan and Kail begin fighting Jackal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan notices that Kail has the same fighting pattern
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
as him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A portal opens up behind Zoe. Two hands
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
pull her through. A dark flash flies out of the portal
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and abducts Synan and Kail. The portal closes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Veronica stands with Zoe, Synan, and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Kail.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Great job you little jerks! You just
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
pissed off Jackal!” Veronica says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Is that a bad thing?” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“You bet it is! Listen, I don’t want any
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
of you to get hurt. Kail: Go back to the future.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You were not meant to be here. Synan and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe: Go back to your own dimension.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“But we need the Star Stone! We
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
cannot go back untill we have it under our
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
posession!” Synan says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Screw the Star Stone!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan and Zoe float up into the air and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
soon vanish. They appear in the Warp Room.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“She can’t do that to us!” Synan yells.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“The book! We can get back!” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe runs to the book pedestal. Nothing is there.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The cave begins to rumble. Small drops
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
of lava drip down the small hole in the ceiling.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“We have no choice, Zoe. We have to
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
go through the portal.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The silvery vortex flickers on and off
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
for a while and then stays on for a little longer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“The portal is closing. We have to go
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
now!” Synan yells.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe and Synan jump into the portal
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
just before it shuts down for good. They soon
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
arrive back in the Gap.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unamed is here waiting for them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Unamed! I’m glad to see you!” Zoe
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“You better be. I haven’t seen any of
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
you at all.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“What do you mean? You guided us
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
yesterday.” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Oh, no. That must’ve been another
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unamed.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“So, will you guide us back?” Synan
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Ahem...”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan and Zoe are silent.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“I will be the guide on your way,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
But coming back, I won’t play.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If to the other side you wish to go,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Then follow me and don’t be slow!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Unamed begins to hover away from
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
them. Zoe and Synan follow closely. As they
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
walk down one twisting tunnel, Zoe looks back
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and sees the squid-like monster. Probably the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
same one that annihilated Clawz.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Synan...” Zoe tugs on his shirt.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“What?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The monster flies past them and stabs
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe, then continues flying.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Ahhhhh!!!” Zoe screams in pain. She
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
was stabbed in the left shoulder. Unamed just
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
continues flying forward.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“We have to get going before we get
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
lost!” Synan yells. Zoe slides down the side
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
of the tunnel.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“I can’t get up. I’m paralyzed.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan picks up Zoe and runs to
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
catch up with Unamed. They soon reach the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
other side of the Gap.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Sarah greets them in the Warp Room.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Welcome back! Veronica told me
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
you were returning.” Sarah says. James stands
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
in a cold shadowy corner and watches.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Zoe got stabbed by a squid!” Synan
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Oh... the squid... It’s name is Snip.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Yeah, I bet. We have to help her
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
immediately!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“This way!” Sarah takes Zoe and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
warps through the book. Synan watches as
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
James vanishes into a cloud of dust. Synan
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
follows them through the book.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Will she be okay?” Synan asks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“I cannot be sure...” Sarah replies.
|
