Then they were going to pick up Boots who the cockroaches had taken from the past Gregor. Better get back to the kingdom I will be there soon. ok said Luxa. As they got there he heard himself say were staying till this thing is over. Then he watched Luxa talk with his previous self when they went to the training area a the next day. He watched as she tried to teach him the careless trick of doing a cartwheel. He laughed to himself then he saw her cousins walk in. Then he walked away and watched from a distance they couldnt see him from. Then he watched himself sass to the girl Stellovot and watched Luxa say thank you to his past self. Then he watched himself do the basic training and then he watched Howard hit 7 blood balls then Luxa hit 10 and Stellovet hit 5. Then he heard Stellovet say in incent voice shouldn't the overlander be able to try. Then he watched himself hit all 15 blood balls. Then he saw himself running to Ares and jump on. Then he threw a smoke bomb so no one could see in the smoke and flew off on his future Ares. When he met up with his past self in Ares secret cave. He saw Luxa fly in and her and her bat where staring at the 2 Ares. Oh that's my friend Ares from the future he said. I will go if you want said future Gregor so you guys can talk. No it's ok if you stay they said. Then he watched them in a happy mode talking. When they were done he saw them go back to Regaila. They talked to Ripred and he met Twitchtip the next day they were ready for departure on the boats. Are you going asked Luxa of course said future Gregor and got in the boat. As they got in the boat his past self was mad at Luxa not coming. But he did not know like future Gregor that she would come soon enough. As they got on the boat past Gregor said he would take the first shift. Future Gregor kept him awake the whole time. But then while they were both on watch they saw it there was squid tentacles shooting up everywhere. They both got there weapons out and started fighting but future Gregor told past Gregor to make sure non would get in the boat. Then he jumped overboard very silently and started fighting with his echolocation. Then he killed the squid and got out of the water drenched wet past Gregor put a towel on him and then they woke up everyone in the morning to a bunch of squid marks all over there skin. What happened last night. we had some fun they both said and he brought out a bunch of squid and let the fireflies eat it. Then future Gregor and past Gregor passed out then they awoke their was Luxa sitting in the boat smiling down at them. I let you out my sight for a little while and look at the trouble you got in. I know who is in a lot of trouble past Gregor said to her. Yes she is said Mareth. I can go back now it's too far. I know you know you can't go back she said. If it weren't for Howard your arm would be cut off. Thx Howard. Your welcome I will save anyone that is in peril in the water. Then while they were on the boat. Twitchup said that there was something changing in the current. Then it happened before them was the word Twicthup had not said whirlpool yelled Howard. Then they were flying in the air Howard jumped out of the boat and pandora caught him. Then they saw Twitchup holding on to the wreckage. Aren't you going to go back for her said past Gregor. I think it would only make our chances of survival slimmer said Mareth. Luxa said Gregor. I think Mareth is right she said. The. He said I bet if Temp were down there or me you would help us but not a rat. He got his flashlight and put it between his teeth then he said to Howard you despise me the most didn't you say you would save anyone that is in peril in the water. He could see he had hit a nerve. I forbid you to go Gregor she said. Then future Gregor said I am going to have to disobey that order your highness and smiled. Then he grabbed past Gregor and jumped off the boat he heard yelling and screaming. But when he hit the water it was cold then he grabbed Twitchup and he told them all to take a deep breath. Then they were in the center of the whirlpool. Everything seemed to surround them but then something caught them in the center and they were under the water for about a minute and they were out of the water on his bat Ares future one. Holding onto him tightly was Twitchup and past Gregor. When they let go he said I told I had a plan and laughed. Then past Gregor said you could have told me before making us jump into a void. Sorry said future Gregor. Then Ares was flying them back to the boat. Make sure to go slow he said to Ares. Yes Gregor let us do this he said in a purr. When they headed in for the boat. Gregor saw that all of them were asleep. Then they got into the boat queitly. He saw on Luxa face tears still stained under her eyes. But there was more on hers than any other person's face. Then they stayed awake till everybody woke up past Gregor sat over Luxa when he saw her eyes open a little he said we are back. She jumped out of her sleep and hugged him. Your back Gregor and she started to smile. One of those rare smiles for this one was pure happiness. Gregor how did you survive. Well let me tell you said future Gregor. Then they woke up everyone. Future Gregor started off well I knew you were going to leave Twitchup. So Ares got ready to get me when I jumped in the whirlpool. Then we stayed under for about a minute. Then we resurfaced and flew back here said Gregor. So you had this all planned out said Luxa. Yeh I guess I did. But then a tear formed in his eye and he was already on Ares flying away. I just don't get he said to Ares why they were flying around. How come I can't go back I just want to see my Luxa again in own time and place and he was crying on Ares. Then he heard a bat behind them. What was that he said. I think it is Luxa said Ares as they drew back. Their was Luxa on her bat why did you go she said. I just wanted be alone. Come on let's go back. As they were flying back to the boat he pulled out the picture of him and Luxa dancing. He smiled and a tear fell down out of his eyes. But what he didn't realize was Luxa was peaking over and immediately put it in his pocket. Sorry to startle you said Luxa. It's ok said future Gregor. But then he lay down to sleep because tommorrow he had a lot to do. When he awoke he heard that they had discovered a new island and were going to search it. Don't said future Gregor no one go's on that island. Why not asked Howard. Because Pandora will die on this island. How do you know that asked Howard. I have already seen what happens to her because I have been to the future. Now please just don't visit that island. As you wish Mareth said. Thanks he said and he fell back asleep. But then when he woke up he saw Howard crying in Luxa arms. I told you not to go on that island said Future Gregor. Yes and we did not listen said Luxa sadly. Then the next morning when he up he heard they left us said Howard. Who left said past Gregor. The shiners. But they were bound for the whole journey said Mareth. By what their honor no they are bound by their stomachs. Then everyone laughed at least there gone said Luxa. Too bad you didn't get to eat them said Luxa. Naah I just said that so they would shut-up said Twitchtip. Were entering the labyrinth said Twitchup the Bane is close by. Then they were entering the labyrinth when they saw rats staring at them then they started throwing rocks. Those are useless attacks. Oh no fliers pull us up now said Mareth. There waking the serpent said future Gregor. Then a chunk went out of there boat. Future Gregor then got on Ares ready for action. When Luxa dived for his sister Boots on her bat. Future Gregor was right behind them on Ares. They were under water for about a minute then they submerged in another tunnel Luxa got off her bat and took a breath. Gregor she said and hugged him how did you know I was going to dive for your sister. I knew because in the future you save Boots and she gets back to the castle with temp. Then there was Boots coming off of the bat. Hey there Boots how you doing. We go ride she said. Well let's get out of here he said to Luxa. Ok she said. Then they were flying down holes with Boots in his arms and temp behind him. But then they got in a fight with a bunch rats and told Temp to run with Boots. Then they destroyed all the rats. We make a good team he said. Yeh I guess we do said Luxa. Then he kissed her on the cheek and while they were flying around the corner of the tunnel she smiled.
