Welcome to my second SR FF. Feel free to put original ideas of events in the story and I just might put it in and say it was you're idea!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own spider riders, nor the resort mentioned later in the story. If any events in this story bare similarities and/or relations to real live events past, present, or future such relations are total coincidence.

Amber's POV It was supposed to be an average vacation. Enjoy a nice cruise to a famous resort, swim with dolphins, and have an all around good time. But NO! I just had to be the adventurous one! I just had to get my self sucked into a different world! Wait…I'm getting ahead of my self. Maybe I should start at when this began. Heck, maybe I should start with the people I didn't even know were alive.

Hunter's POV Hunter was reading in the palace library. You didn't read this wrong. Hunter was READING! Being in a world with out any electricity or soccer, it was the only thing to do. What, now that he had defeated Mantid and saved the inner world. "Hunter I can't believe how accustomed to reading you've become!" Shadow said from with in Hunter's manacle. Shadow was Hunter's battle spider. They had their differences at first but after a while they became close friends. Hunter was browsing when a particularly thick book caught his eye. On the spine was the very familiar word "Atlantis."

"There's just no way…"

"No way of what?" Shadow asked. "This book…"

"Yeah it says 'Atlantis.' What's the bi deal?"

"In the outer world there's a legend about this city called Atlantis."

"What's the legend about?" Shadow asked. "According to the legend in some unknown point in time there was a prosperous utopia known as Atlantis. Supposedly one day some thing happened and the once great city sunk into the sea. To this day scientists of the outer world search the seas for the legendary city but to no avail. If some one in the inner world knew about it… maybe…" Hunter thought for a moment. "Maybe what??" Shadow shouted. "Maybe it sunk into the inner world. But it almost surely would have been destroyed by the boundary between the worlds if not the water pressure."

"I understand the boundary between the worlds but the water pressure? What's that?" Hunter gave an explanation as to what water pressure was. For any readers that may not have paid attention in fourth grade science water pressure is: when you're deeper under water more water is pushing down on you. So if you're deep enough (and you could breathe down there) the pressure would crush you to death. Hunter opened the book only to be interrupted by an explosion just outside of the largest window in the library! The force pushed Hunter to the ground. He tried to get up but a few shards of glass had lodged themselves in his leg. It was very painful for him to try and stand. Hunter dropped the book and gripped his leg trying to apply pressure to the wound. He heard shouts and lots of stomping feet out side of the library doors. Hunter heard Igneous shout "debris from the explosion blocked the doors!"

"Hunter are you O.K?" Shadow shouted. "Yeah, I don't think its too deep." Hunter tried to stand up when some one jumped in the library through the destroyed window. The person was cloaked so Hunter couldn't even tell weather it was a he or a she. The cloaked figure charged at Hunter when he was still (partially) down and delivered a swift blow to the back of his neck, making him close to unconscious. The cloaked person picked up the book on the inner world story of Atlantis. "That… isn't… you're book…!" Hunter struggled to get up. "And who might you be? Mr. points out the obvious allot?" a female voice said. "You're a girl!"

"Wow you are Mr. Points out the obvious allot!" she said sarcastically. "My names Hunter Steel!" Hunter said frustrated. "So you're the earthen rider. Lucky me. If I bring you to my master I'm sure to become his favorite!" she charged at Hunter again only to be stopped by "ARROW OF LIGHT" Corona; a fellow spider rider stopped Hunter's attacker in her tracks. "Humph, well, I have the book. We'll get a few earthen kids soon enough. AQUA FLASH!" The cloaked woman pointed her finger in the air and a circular drop of water appeared above it. From the water there was a flash of light, and the net thing Hunter and Corona knew the woman was gone. "Hunter! What was that al about?"

"I'm not totally sure. But I can tell you what I know."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Amber's POV Amber ran in to her room followed by a number of her female cousins. "I cant believe you convinced our parents to get every one to spend a week in Cancun!" Three girls besides her jumped onto lavish beds in a room designated for the girls in the family around their age. "Amber was the one with semi-long dark hair. Her eyes were as dark as her hair. She wasn't much of a risk-taker but she would if she had to. She was a logical thinker. She's a straight A students. If she found a book she liked she could finish it in record time, but she liked mystery manga/animes just as much. "Hey Amber, what'cha reading?" one of her cousins asked "a book about a series of murders that occur on a ship carrying a priceless jewel and a 14 year-old on board solves the mystery."

"Isn't this ship carrying TWO priceless jewels?"

"Oh would you calm down!" Amber said "It's just a book! As much as I'd love for something REAL exciting to happen there's nearly no chance some thing like that would happen. And to top it all off the victims have maigor connections to the gem." The group calmed down "I cant wait till we get there."

"I know! Amber exclaimed "I can't wait to get footage of us swimming with dolphins for extra credit in science!" they all anime fell and sweat dropped (LOL). "Well… back to the jewels. What were they called again?"

"The jewel of the sky and the jewel of the sea. The jewel of the sea is a huge sapphire; the jewel of the sea is a blue diamond." Amber pulled out her lap top and took advantage of the free wireless. "Did you know that the jewels are said to have special powers that can only be unlocked with in a city in a different world?"

"Gee wiz. Hey I think I saw a vending machine out in the hall. Could you go grab us a few ice creams?"

"Sure." Amber walked down the hall, when she went to the vending machine she noticed that some one forget their ice cream in side, and it was her favorite; a cookie ice cream sandwich. "Oh! Lucky me!" she reached in and just then some one else did. It was a boy from her school, Adam Sunoco. And this Adam just so happen to be amongst the hottest guys in school! "Oh uh… was this you'res?"

"Yeah I can't believe I forgot my favorite kind."

"Oh this is you're favorite too?"

Amber dropped the pamphlet on the jewels that she was carrying. Adam picked it up and looked at it. "So you want to see the jewels too?"

"Yeah I do!"

"I have V.I.P passes. You want to go see them later?"

"Sure, no problem!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Hunter's POV Hunter was telling the other riders about the strange woman and how she said that her master was intent on the kidnapping of several earthen youths. "But why would some one go so far as to attack the city for a book on a city that is nothing more than the stuff of legends for 2 worlds. What's so important about earthen children?" Igneous asked out loud. "I wonder…" Hunter said. "You wonder what?" asked Lumen. "When I came into the inner world, my physical strength was allot more than it had been before."

"But that still doesn't really explain why they wanted the book and why they're after earthen kids."

"I just may have an explanation." A boy with short silver hair came in. "Who are you?"

"My name is Athrun (no gundam seed reference), I'm an expert on the city you call 'the stuff of legends.'"

"So what can you tell us about this 'Atlantis' place?"

"It's the source of the inner world's water supply. If any thing were to happen to the city, all those in the inner world would undoubtedly die of thirst."

"I simply don't understand how a city can be the source of the inner world's water." Lumen said. "Hunter, you're from the outer world right?"

"Yeah."

"Do you mind explaining the water cycle to everyone?"

"Sure, O.K… remembering the third grade… Its basically this endless cycle that water goes through. Have you guys ever noticed that when you heat water up that steam comes out?" The riders nodded "that's actually water" the riders were stunned "you cant be serious!" Magma said. "No! Its true! In the outer world the water turns into steam, it gathers in the air, it turns into these puffy white things in the sky called clouds, and then the water comes back down in the form of rain."

"Rain?" they all asked at the same time. "Its pretty much water that falls from the sky. It comes in many different ways, my personal favorite is snow."

"Snow?"

"Its frozen rain."

"How is it frozen?"

"That's a subject for when we have more time on our hands." Athrun said cutting the conversation short. "The truth is when water evaporates, or turns into steam, it goes straight to the outer world. That's why there hasn't been any change in the amount in the outer world. The city was once in the outer world just as the legends said. But one day when it was under siege, after all the innocents had gotten out of the city the oracle brought it into the inner world. What was attacking it; we have little idea of what it was. All we know is that the city now emanates with the oracle's power. Its almost an oracle key in it self, it brings the water in from gates under the sea of the outer world, cleans it with the oracle's power, and releases it into the ocean of the inner world."

"Now that's what I call a water purification plant" Hunter thought to him self. "There is a gate way that can take us to the city limits. Most likely using the book the inner world's new threat has gotten to it. We have to hurry."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Amber's POV "I can't believe we weren't allowed to see the jewels!"

"Well you've got to admit, when there was an attempt at their theft just about no one besides the owner gets to see it." Adam and Amber were eating ice cream on the deck on one of those tables with umbrella shades. They were disappointed. Some one had attempted to steal the jewel of the sky and the jewel of the sea so no ones allowed to see them until the police have gotten to the bottom of it. "Hey, maybe we'll find a clue and get to solve the mystery in a crazy adventure!" Amber said sarcastically. "Nah, one mystery per vacation is enough for me."

"Come again?"

"Oh, you know the kid from our town; Hunter Steel?"

"Yeah, he vanished at some ruins not too far from the resort we're staying at. Don't tell me…"

"He was my best friend. He was going on and on about this journal his grandfather left and this inner world place. I remember his grandpa telling us stories about it when we we're kids. If you ask me, he found a gate way there, and I want to find it too."

"Oh, that's so sweet. Who knows, maybe he did end up in another world. I mean who never said there aren't any besides ours." I wanted to share the big lunch I made but this is nice too. Amber thought as she nudged her waterproof back pack with her leg. "Didn't the weather forecast call for clear skies?" Adam asked as dark clouds started to coat the sky. Suddenly there was a flash of lightning and every one noticing the sudden change in weather flinched all at once. Rain began pouring down like crazy. "Well so much for a warm afternoon at the water park." Amber said with a sigh. "How are we supposed to get to our rooms with out getting soaked?" some one in the crowd asked. "I don't have t worry." Amber said happily about being in a swim suit (tang top bikini with short swimming trunks). The wind began to roar "here take these." Adam pulled out a jacket that was a little big for Amber but it worked. Thunder clashed again and then. BOOM! "THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION!"

"IT WAS WHERE THE JEWELS WERE!"

"Passengers please remain calm and evacuate the ship! This is not a drill! I repeat! This is not a drill!" Every one began to panic as the passengers filed onto the life rafts. "What about our families?"

"Don't worry. You have you're cell phone right?"

"Yeah."

"Ok then, call them once we get to shore. After all, they were in a restaurant no where near the explosion." They had made it on to their life boats and they were heading away from the sinking ship. Amber put on a pair of goggles (not the lame swimming kind, more like ski goggles but only more like sunglasses) to cover her eyes from the beating rain. Then all of a sudden the waves began to jerk relentlessly. Then out of no where "I'VE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE!"

"SIR! CALM DOWN! AUUUGH!" Amber fell over.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It was like a nightmare. The waves pulled at and beat againsed Amber. She could barely hear Adam screaming her name any more and she was over come by fear as she began to lose her strength. And then she was pulled in by an overpowering current. Amber was pulled under the water. She began to spin down in the water. WHAT'S GOING ON?? Amber was about to give up when she saw two lights. One a sapheric blue, the other more of a sky blue. The torrent of the whirl pool caused them to cross each other a few times. Eventually the two light were drawn into another one at the sea bottom. The whirl pool was so powerful that Amber was pulled down almost instantaneously, so she still had some breath. As if by some sort of miracle Amber found the strength to swim towards the lights. She grabbed them. There was another huge flash of light, Amber was surrounded by a wonderful cloud filled blue sky, and she managed to get a breath. Then again she was in water, falling. She looked down and saw what she thought was a dream; a white city filled with water (A.K.A this is like a super sized Pnuema with fountains and stuff). She looked in front of her face and saw the ocean of what she could only think to be a world with in our own.
