Me: I got this idea from a dream! Really! I hope you like it!

Stephanie's POV

"Steph! We need to go! NOW!" Kaz yelled. We were running for our lives. Our whole place was in flames. I know what your thinking 'What the hell is happening?'. Well, you'll find out later. Where is the fun in telling you now? "Galleria! Run!" my mom screamed. "I'm running!" I yelled back. I turned to my twin brother; Kaz nodded. We were thinking the same thing. We needed to get to Chaotic. It had to be the only safe place left in the world. We stopped running when we got to hide behind a really thick tree, hoping that they won't find us. "Mom, do you trust me and Steph?" Kaz asked. He was a redhead with red-tilted glasses and brown eyes. Our mom nodded. "Of course I trust you two" she said. She and Kaz looked exactly the same. Same red hair, same brown eyes. Even if Kaz is my twin, I looked nothing like him or Mom. I had long ebony hair and ice-blue eyes and I had clear glasses. "Mom were we are going, don't freak out. We know what we're doing" I said calmly to my mom. She thought for a second and nodded. "OK, what are you thinking of doing?" she asked. We smiled in spite of what was happening in the world. "Mom, hold on to me" I said. My mom hugged me. Kaz smiled. Me and Kaz got out our Scanners. "Oh COME ON!" I yelled when I caught sight of them. Why didn't they leave us alone? They did enough damage to Perim! "Steph! We need to port to Chaotic NOW!" Kaz screamed and me and him ported.

When we reached Chaotic, we could see that Mom was having one of her 'Silent' panic attacks. "Kazdan, Galleria, where are we?" she asked, looking around Chaotic. "We're at Chaotic" me and Kaz said together. Our mom eyes widen and began to search like mad. I griped my mom's arm and pretty much dragged her to a table. When a robot came over, Kaz ordered us 1 Coke for him, a Sunkist for me, and an iced tea for our mom. After we were done with our drinks, me and Kaz explained our mom about Chaotic and Perim. She nodded at times, but mostly asked questions. And when we were done, she smiled. "Wow, I'm sorry I never believe you about Chaotic. Can you forgive me?" Mom asked. We smiled. "Of course we forgive you Mom" Kaz said. Sadly, our happy little moment was broken by my Scanner ringing. I rolled my eyes and sighed. I walked out until I saw a large tree with lots of shade. As I answered, to see it was Tom calling me.

"Hey Tom, are you OK?" I asked. He had a bit of blood on his forehead, and there was some cuts above his icy blue eyes. " I'm fine. I'm just glad your safe" he said. He was so sweet. "Yeah, I'm glad your safe too Tom" I said. I so have a crush on the guy, you got a problem with that? Didn't think so. He had short black hair and ice-blue eyes like me. "So, did your family make it out?" he asked me. I nod. "Yeah, thank goodness and you? Is everyone in your family OK?" I asked. Tom looked down and I could see that he had tears in his eyes. "No, my mom…" he said. "Listen, I got to go, see you soon" The call ended. I felt so sad for him. And me and Kaz knew her! Tom's mom was a really nice lady. She had black hair and dark green eyes. I am so going to miss her. "Come on girl, get up" I thought to myself. I really need therapy. So, when I come back to the table, I saw Peyton there and a man and woman I guessed as his mom and dad sitting with my mom and Kaz. Lucky him. His dad look just like him, except he had brown eyes. His mom had his lime green eyes. "Yo Steph! Where were you?" Peyton asked. I gave a really sad smile, even for me. "Outside, talking with Tom" I said sadly. Kaz finally noticed how dark my eyes must had been. "What happened Sis?" he asked, looking away. I sighed. Poor guy, this was going to break his heart. "It's his mom you guys. She died" I said slowly and sadly. "No, not Emily" my mom said. Her eyes were watery. The two had been good friends. "Yeah, he hung up on me because he was crying" I said. Everyone sighed. "Where is he?" Kaz asked. I shook my head and shrugged. "Don't know, but it looked like Kiru City" I said. He sighed. I felt so bad for him, after all his best friend's mom died. Kaz stood up. "I'll be right back" he said and went to the Transporters to ported out. Peyton and me sighed. "Stephy, I'm going too. I need to know if those two are OK" he said seriously, his lime green eyes flashing. It was one of those rare moments when Peyton was serious. I nodded. "Go" I said. He smiled and left. Peyton's mom smiled. "He always cared for his friends" she said as she started to cry. Peyton dad patted her on the back.

"Hey Steph!" I turned around to see Sarah and I guessed her mom running towards us. Sarah hugged me. "Thank God you're OK!" she said. I smiled in spite of what happened. I was glad to see her, she's like a sister to me. Yeah, but she didn't look so great. She had a large cut on her arm, but other than that, she looked fine. "Same to you" I said, giving a sad little smile. Sarah was a blonde with emerald green eyes. She looked just like her mom. "I can NOT believe what happened. And everyone here looks so calm…" Sarah said. I nodded. She had a point. Everyone look OK. Like they didn't care what was happening on Earth. "Listen, we need to tell the tribes what's happened. Can you go to Mont. Pillar and tell the Queen?" I asked. Sarah nodded. "Sure." she said. She was about to port out, but I stopped her. "By the way, can you call Peyton and tell him the same thing?" I asked. Sarah smiled. "Sure" she said. She ported out soon after.

I ported to the Underworld. It was really gloomy here, but I don't mind. I sighed and began walked to Chaor's castle. It took like 15 minutes to get there. As I walked thru the doors, but two guards stopped me. "Why are you here?" one of them asked. "I need to talk with Chaor. NOW." I said, the last part slowly and deadly, like venom was coming from my words. The two guards looked at each other, looking scared to death. "Of…Of course ma'am. We well escort you" the other guard said

automatically. We walked in pure silent for a while, but it felt like 5 seconds. Before I knew it, we were in the Throne Room. Chaor, Takinom, and Agitos where there. I straighten my back and narrowed my eyes. "Stephanie, why are you here?" Takinom asked. "'Cause I needed to speak with you guys" I said, trying to keep to a straight face. "About what?" Agitos asked. I shook my head and smiled. "I know none of you will believe me" I said. "Come on, what could possibly do that?" Chaor asked. I sighed. "All right, but you asked for it. The M'arrillains are back." I said calmly, waiting for the explosion. Sure enough, there is one. "What?! The M'arrillains are back!" Chaor yelled. "Um…Yeah. That's what I said." I said, staring the three UnderWorlders down. "You GOT to be kidding me" Takinom said. I growled. I was beginning to feel really weak. "Did I stutter or something? I said the M'arrillains are back" Agitos narrowed his eyes. "How do you the M'arrillains are back?" he asked. I sighed. "Because me, Kaz, and my mother were attacked" I said panting, it was getting harder to breathe. "Are you OK?" Takinom asked. There was alarm in her voice and eyes. I nodded slowly. "Y…Yeah, I'll be OK" That was the last thing I said before I fell into darkness…


Me: Thats it for now! What happened to Steph? Where is Kaz, Tom, and Peyton? Why are the M'arrillains back and how did they get to Earth? How did they parents come with them? The answers (well, so of them) we be on the next chapter!
