Synan, Zoe, and Veronica stand near the

volcano in front of the collapsed castle, watching

Sage’s transformation.

“I suggest you run, kids! Run while you

still can! I’m assuming your death will be less

painful if you’re further away from Deity.”

Veronica warns.

Synan and Zoe run back the way they

came. They run to Logan’s campground.

Elsie greets them.

“What’s happening?” Elsie asks.

“Sage over there will soon transform

into Deity, and then the universe is doomed!”

Synan says.

“What’s the safest way out?” Elsie

asks.

“The safest way, would probably be

the half of the island we are familiar with.

We’ll have to go back through Illusion Cave.”

Zoe says.

“What about the books?”

“We lost the books. The last book

we had is inside the castle. The castle is gone

now.” Synan says.

“As I can see.” Elsie adds.

Elsie and her parents, Synan, and

Zoe run for the exit to Illusion Cave.

They get to the exit and run inside.

The first room they enter is the Gold Room.

A voice greets them.

“Welcome back, Synan!”

“Who are you?!”

“My name is Joseph. Want to know

what I look like?”

“What?”

“Well too bad! So, have you returned

to fight me again?”

“No. The island, no, the universe is

in danger.”

“Well, duh!”

“So, we’re trying to escape.”

“You cannot escape the universe.”

Joseph laughs.

“Whatever!” The group runs past

where Joseph assumedly is. They run through

the winding corridors toward the other side

of the cave.

They run further down, toward the

Book Temple. They all enter. Sarah is not

here. On the desk, there is a book with a

note taped to it. The note reads,

“I left this universe in a retreat to

the other world. If you are wise, you should

follow. I entered this black book.”

Synan picks up the book. The picture

is very dark, and hard to see anything.

“Should we go, or stay to stop Deity?”

Zoe asks.

“I have a plan.” Synan says. The island

is rumbling.

“Elsie. You and your family, enter this

book.”

“Okay.” Elsie and her parents enter the

book. Synan looks through the desk for a book

to Earth. He soon finds it.

“Zoe. Are you staying or going?”

“I’ll stay.”

“Alright, then. Enter this book to Earth.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll follow.”

Zoe warps. Synan picks up the black

book and then warps into the Earth book.

Earth is rumbling when Synan arrives.

They run through the city getting everyone into

the other world. When the city is empty, Zoe

warps. Synan soon follows.

They all meet up in a dark cave in the

other world.

“Synan. I think this was really the

Netherworld!” Zoe says.

“Shh! You’re going to scare Elsie!”

Synan whispers, “and besides, I brought

the book to get back.”

James appears in a hallway. He walks

toward the large group of people.

“So, I guess you two made it alive

after all.” James says to Synan and Zoe.

“James. You can help us save the

universe!” Synan says.

“Oh really. How would that be?”

“Sage has not yet transformed. He is

still human. You can use your mega-monster

powers to stop him before it’s too late!”

“...You got a point.” James says.

“Then will you help us?”

“Sure. Include me in the group.”

“Alright. Let’s get back to the island!”

Sarah walks in. She has a linking book

back to the island.

“Okay, everyone. Use this linking book

to get back to Earth.” Synan tells the Earth people.

“Warp back when the sky lightens up

again.”

“Okay.”

Zoe, Synan, James, and Sarah warp

back to The Land of No Return.

They run to the site where Sage was

seen last.

“Now!!” Synan yells.

James fires a laser beam up at the

transforming Sage.

“No! Don’t!” Veronica yells.

The beam hits Sage.

“What?” Zoe asks.

“You’re just going to piss him off! If

that happens, he’ll get worse and attack the

refuge world!”

“Uh-oh.” James says.

“Look! He’s about to finish! Run

for your lives!!” Veronica yells.

“I hope we didn’t piss him off too

much!” Zoe says.
