Zet, spurred on by a cryptic text, tries to find an old acquaintance, but discovers only his head stone. He disappeared under mysterious circumstances. His daughter, Meifa, an expert in feng shui, asks for his help finding a "sun stone" that can lead them to her father's location.
ZET: (thinking to him self) This very strange tale began on a blistering hot day.
ZET: (thinking to him self) I had received a mysterious text message from an old acquaintance of mine, but the message was just this: "Seek the sacred beast from Anzan.
ZET: (thinking to him self) I am at the meeting place of the 4 seasons.".
ZET: (thinking to him self) Pao, the sender of the message, was an acquaintance of mine, but it didn't mean that we kept in touch all that well.
ZET: (thinking to him self) I grew suspicious and started to research Pao's current where abouts.
ZET: (thinking to him self) They say that Pao is one of the 3 greatest Feng Shui masters here in Klarz, but when i found his where abouts, he had already left this world.
At a cemetery in Klarz, Zet stands before Pao's head stone.
ZET: (talking to Pao's head stone) Are you the one that sent me the text message?
Meifa, Pao's daughter, eventually rises from behind the head stone.
MEIFA: The one who visits from the inauspicious back door.
MEIFA: Receive the word from the heavens and lead me to the sun stone.
MEIFA: (rising up from behind the head stone) So the pakua divination is true.
She spots 2 thugs with guns behind Zet.
MEIFA: Look out.
She pushes Zet out of the way of gun fire and the shots hit Pao's head stone.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
They hide behind his head stone.
ZET: They sure are disrespectful criminals.
Meifa consults her luo pan.
MEIFA: (looking at her luo pan) The escape route.
She puts her luo pan in her back pack, zips it close, stands up, grabs Zet by the hand, and runs with him. The thugs shoot at them and miss.
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
THUG 1: (holding a gun in her hand) Darn!
THUG 2: (holding a gun in his hand) Darn!
They chase after Zet and Meifa. Zet and Meifa jump into a wooded section. They reach the end and under them is a strip of road. Meifa spots a big tall bus.
MEIFA: (holding Zet's hand and looking at the bus at the same time) Escape route.
They hop on top and the thugs chase after them in a car. Meifa spots a river next to them.
MEIFA: (holding Zet's hand and looking at the river at the same time) Chi of water.
ZET: (holding her hand) Hey!
They jump in and eventually resurface.
MEIFA: That was really close.
MEIFA: I'm glad we're safe.
MEIFA: My name is Meifa.
Zet stares at her, confused.
Later, back at camp, Max spots Vivi, Ellie, and poochyena from the shadows of the trees, spying on Zet and Meifa near the tent.
MAX: What are all you up to?
VIVI: (whispering) Hey, over there.
MAX: (whispering) Who's that?
VIVI: (whispering) I wonder if she's a new girl friend for him.
MAX: (whispering) She looks kinda old for him.
ELLIE: (whispering) Weird one.
ELLIE: (whispering) Loved one.
VIVI: (whispering) She could be his future wife.
MAX: (whispering) She looks to young for that.
Zet and Meifa drink tea near the tent.
ZET: I wasn't expecting Pao's daughter to be this old already.
ZET: You probably don't remember, but i met you once when we were younger.
MEIFA: How do you know my father?
ZET: I was an acquaintance.
ZET: It's been 7 years already, but your father sure was unlucky to be in a traffic accident.
MEIFA: On the way to Jupit, there was a sudden fluctuation in the air.
Ellie walks by them and starts an awkward chat.
ELLIE: Are you Zet's girl friend?
MEIFA: Excuse me.
Zet almost chokes on his own saliva.
ELLIE: Are you his future wife?
MEIFA: Excuse me again.
Zet looks around and spots Max, Vivi, and poochyena a few feet away and they disband.
ELLIE: All is fair on the battle field of love.
MEIFA: Excuse me yet again.
Ellie runs off.
MEIFA: Zet, why were you at the cemetery?
MEIFA: No one other than family knows he got into an accident.
Zet hands her a note version of the message he got and she reads it.
MEIFA: (reading the cryptic note) "Seek the sacred beast from Anzan.
MEIFA: (reading the cryptic note) I am at the meeting place of the 4 seasons.".
MEIFA: (holding the cryptic note) What is this?
ZET: I wrote it down on that piece of paper, but Pao sent me that same message in a text message.
MEIFA: (holding the cryptic note) When?
ZET: 4 days ago.
Meifa puts the cryptic note down.
MEIFA: Right before the accident.
MEIFA: Please!
MEIFA: Can you help me?
MEIFA: I'm sure the message is the key to the where abouts of the sun stone.
ZET: What's a sun stone?
MEIFA: The date and time you arrived was the best combination of Feng Shui.
MEIFA: Especially when you're on a quest.
ZET: What quest?
MEIFA: The quest for the sun stone.
ZET: Please help me Zet!
Else where, on the streets of Klarz, one of the thugs from before, talks to his boss on his communicator.
THUG 2: (talking on his communicator) Yes!
THUG 2: (talking on his communicator) We'll have it soon.
THUG 2: (talking on his communicator) I under stand.
He hangs up.
THUG 1: How was the boss feeling?
THUG 2: (holding his communicator) Good!
THUG 1: There's no way it could be good.
THUG 2: (holding his communicator) Of course not.
THUG 1: It's time then.
They hop into their car.
Zet and Meifa seek clues on the streets and Zet starts thinking to him self again.
ZET: (thinking to him self) I don't have any particular favors to repay to Pao or this girl, but i decided to help her for now.
ZET: (thinking to him self) There were too many things that made me suspicious to leave it alone.
ZET: (thinking to him self) Why did Pao send me a text message after his death?
ZET: (thinking to him self) What does the secret text message mean?
ZET: (thinking to him self) Who were those bad dudes that attacked us and there's some thing mysteriously cute about this girl named Meifa as well.
They sit on a bench, at a park, eating ice cream in cones.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) This universe is made up of 3 different chis.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) One is the chi of Heaven, the energy that comes from the sky.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) One is the chi of Earth, the energy that comes from a planet's surface.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) Lastly, there's the chi of magnetism, the chi that organisms like our selves produce.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) Chi from organisms you say?
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) The human body always produces a magnetic field.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) That magnetic field and the magnetic field of the Earth, react to one another to create energy.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) Universal feng shui is a method that reads the energy of nature.
Zet notices melted ice cream dripping from Meifa's cone.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) Ice cream.
Meifa quickly licks the ice cream from the bottom up.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) Universal feng shui you say?
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) Is it the same thing as fortune telling?
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) Other fortune telling methods only predict or prognosticate.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) How ever, universal feng shui has the power to turn bad luck into good luck.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) For example, if you were a feng shui master as powerful as my father.
Meifa stops in the middle of her sentence.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) What's wrong?
MEIFA: (blushing and holding her ice cream cone) I just realized that i never spent time like this with a boy before.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) Hey now.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) Let me point out that i'm not that old.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) If any thing, i would be like a younger boy friend to you.
ZET: (blushing and holding his ice cream cone) No wait.
ZET: (blushing and holding his ice cream cone) That would be kinda uncomfortable for me.
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) What am i saying?
ZET: (holding his ice cream cone) I mean that i'm at the age where i can be your younger brother.
Meifa notices melted ice cream dripping from Zet's cone.
MEIFA: (holding her ice cream cone) Ice cream.
Zet quickly licks the ice cream from the bottom up and eats the waffle part of it. Meifa does the same thing. She gets up and stands.
MEIFA: Lets go, little brother.
Later and else where, at the top of a tall building, Meifa identifies land marks.
MEIFA: I believe that "Anzan" refers to here, which is the Mountain Hotel building.
She points to a blue colored train.
MEIFA: (pointing to a blue colored train) Over there.
MEIFA: (pointing to the blue colored train) The blue dragon.
She looks over to a white colored building complex.
MEIFA: The white tiger.
She looks over to a black colored dome.
MEIFA: The black turtle.
She looks over the horizon to see a red colored mountain, far away in the distance.
MEIFA: The red phoenix.
ZET: What's that?
MEIFA: The cross zenith is the 4 seasons.
She takes out her luo pan.
MEIFA: (holding and looking at her luo pan) The sun stone is here some where.
ZET: Are you sure?
Later and else where, the thugs sit in their car and spot Zet and Meifa.
THUG 2: (looking at them) There they are.
THUG 2: (looking at them) They're right over there.
THUG 1: (looking at them) Alright!
Meifa's luo pan leads them to the stone, stuck in a lion's head display. She plucks it out.
MEIFA: (holding the sun stone) I finally found it.
ZET: (looking at the sun stone) This black rock?
Zet spots the thugs' car and he takes Meifa by the fore arm and walks into a beverage store.
MEIFA: (walking with Zet and holding the sun stone) What are you doing, Zet?
The thugs get out of their car and a group of kids kicking a ball runs toward them. One of the thugs kicks the ball away.
THUG 2: Hey kids, beat it now!
KIDS: Stupid suits.
They run after the ball.
In the beverage store, Zet has a plan.
ZET: 2 bottles of orange juice.
Zet pays for the 2 bottles of orange juice. The thugs enter the store and Zet hits them on their heads with a bottle of orange juice each. Meifa leaps on top of one of them and beats her on the stomach. Zet pours the remaining orange juice on one of them and grabs him.
ZET: (holding thug 2 in a choke hold) Hey, who are you guys?
THUG 2: (struggling to speak) You think we would tell you that easily?
Zet puts him in a sleeper hold.
THUG 2: (struggling to speak) We're from the brown snake syndicate.
ZET: (choking thug 2) Interesting!
ZET: (choking thug 2) Why are you following us around?
THUG 2: (struggling to speak) I couldn't tell you that even if you killed me.
Zet tightens his hold.
THUG 2: (struggling to speak) It was because we couldn't get Pao.
THUG 2: (struggling to speak) So they told us to get the recipient of his text message.
THUG 2: (struggling to speak) I'm telling the truth.
THUG 2: (struggling to speak) We're on the low end, so we don't know any more than that.
ZET: (choking thug 2) I'm sure you are.
Zet breaks his neck.
MEIFA: Zet, is my father alive?
Zet and Meifa walk back to camp and Zet starts thinking to him self yet again.
ZET: (thinking to him self) Pao's words showed where this stone was.
ZET: (thinking to him self) Does that mean Pao is still alive some where?
ZET: (thinking to him self) Did he want me to find this stone and do some thing with it?
ZET: (thinking to him self) It feels like i created more mysteries than i solved.
ZET: (thinking to him self) For now, i've decided to check out this stone, which was our only clue.
Back at camp, Zet analyzes the stone.
ZET: (looking at the stone) This looks like it's a piece of that big asteroid that crashed here in Kalos 45 years ago.
MEIFA: We feng shui masters call it the sun stone.
MEIFA: It absorbed the fluctuations in time and space and conceals a tremendous amount of energy.
MAX: (looking at the stone) I can only think of it as a plain old rock.
VIVI: (looking at the stone) So how much would it be if we sold it?
ZET: No offense you 2, but we're trying to solve a mystery here.
ZET: If you 2 don't have any better suggestions about actually solving the mystery stone, rather than selling it, please take your silly ideas and comments away from me and meifa, while we try to solve this sun stone!
VIVI: Hey, you come up with silly ideas too some times.
ZET: I'm turning this camp site into a non-idiots area, starting this evening.
MAX: Hey, you're kidding about me and Vivi being idiots, right?
ZET: Do you want to bet your money on it?
MAX: Nah!
Max and Vivi stand a few yards away from the camp site and stare at the sun set.
Back at camp, Zet and Meifa talk some more about the sun stone.
ZET: (looking at the stone) So, what are you gonna do with this stone?
MEIFA: I have no idea.
MEIFA: I don't know what my father is or was thinking.
Poochyena grabs the stone in his mouth and runs to the luo pan.
ZET: Wait!
The luo pan moves.
MEIFA: (looking at the luo pan) The luo pan.
ZET: (looking at the luo pan) What's happening?
MEIFA: (looking at the luo pan) That can't be.
MEIFA: (looking at the luo pan) I took the magnet off.
The luo pan stops and points at a specific direction.
MEIFA: (looking at the luo pan) I see.
MEIFA: (looking at the luo pan) I get it now.
MEIFA: (looking at the luo pan) So that's the point.
MEIFA: (yelling) WE CAN DO IT.
MEIFA: If i remember correctly, my father owned a sun stone as well.
MEIFA: I'm sure that the 2 sun stones are resonating to show me the where abouts of my father.
ZET: So that's why Pao made you look for this special stone.
MEIFA: Yes, but i don't know why my father sent the text to you and not to me.
Ellie examines the chemical composition of the stone.
Max and Vivi still continue to stand a few yards away from the camp site and they talk about Zet and Meifa.
VIVI: What do you think?
MAX: They make a good couple, if you ignore the age difference.
VIVI: I think it's a dangerous combination.
MAX: What is?
VIVI: The more righteous a boy is in his youth, the more likely he's gonna fall for an older female later in life.
MAX: Is that so?
VIVI: Yeah!
Back at camp, Zet and Meifa talk some more about the sun stone and her father.
MEIFA: My father was one that believed in universal feng shui, but not other people.
MEIFA: So my mother left the house and took me along.
MEIFA: That was 6 years ago.
MEIFA: I'm sure my father was able to find our where abouts easily, but he never even tried to look for us.
ZET: I'm sure there was a reason behind it.
MEIFA: Why was my father targeted by those men?
MEIFA: Was it because he was friends with bad people?
MEIFA: Please tell me the truth!
MEIFA: What kind of man is my father?
ZET: Pao was the consultant for a syndicate.
ZET: That's the truth.
ZET: Pao had leaked info to me about the syndicate, back when i was an assistant for the IKP.
ZET: Pao already wanted out of the syndicate back then.
ZET: How ever, it's impossible for some one who knows important syndicate secrets to leave the gang.
ZET: I'm sure Pao was afraid that more bad things would happen to his family.
ZET: Well, i'm sure you can confirm it all when you contact him.
Ellie continues to examine the sun stone, a few yards away from the conversation Zet and Meifa are having. Zet opens up Ellie's laptop and turns it on.
MEIFA: Here!
MEIFA: There's an energy around here.
Max and Vivi join in on the conversation.
VIVI: There really isn't any thing here.
ZET: How about the laptop?
MAX: (looking at the laptop screen) Nothing is coming in on Ellie's laptop.
MEIFA: (looking at the laptop screen) That can't be.
MEIFA: (looking at the laptop screen) I'm sure that some thing was about to happen.
Ellie's laptop picks up a signal.
MAX: (looking at the laptop screen) Wait!
MAX: (looking at the laptop screen) We got some thing
A rocket is fired near the camp site and Ellie rushes to pick up her laptop from harm.
BOOM!
MAX: I guess we have guests.
ZET: They sure are persistent.
ZET: Max and Vivi, please take care of them!
VIVI: I thought they were your problem?
ZET: If you don't help me out, we all die.
VIVI: Fine!
Max and Vivi take off on their bikes with their guns and their walkie talkie cell phone radios.
VIVI: (pedaling and talking to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) What rotten luck of the draw.
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) Some times it's good to act with out asking "What's in it for me?".
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) We're miracle workers who are going to grant the princess' wish.
VIVI: (pedaling and talking to Max on her walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) We are?
Several robot bikers are dispatched.
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) Are these robot fighters?
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Vivi on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) So these would be the 7 dwarves.
They fire 2 more rockets near the tent.
BOOM BOOM!
ZET: (yelling) DARN!
ZET: They're trying to scare us.
Ellie starts yelling and running around in a circle.
ELLIE: (yelling and running around in a circle) WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.
ELLIE: (yelling and running around in a circle) WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.
ELLIE: (yelling and running around in a circle) WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.
ELLIE: (yelling and running around in a circle) WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.
ELLIE: (yelling and running around in a circle) WE'RE UNDER ATTACK.
Max and Vivi gun down all the robo biker fighters and they all explode.
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM KABOOM!
They both holster their guns.
ZET: (talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Max, come back here!
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Zet on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) What is it?
ZET: (talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) If we apply lots of energy to that stone, we can draw out all the forces trapped inside it.
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Zet on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) What are we going to do?
ZET: (talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) This is an all or nothing plan.
VIVI: (pedaling and talking to Max and Zet on her walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) I don't care what it is, just please hurry!
Ellie leaves her laptop with Zet and attaches the sun stone to a boulder.
ELLIE: I put it on.
ZET: (talking and holding his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Alright!
ZET: (talking to Max on his walkie talkie cell phone radio) Shoot the rock with your gun.
MAX: (pedaling and talking to Zet on his walkie talkie cell phone radio at the same time) What a great plan this is.
Max and Zet hang up. Max pulls out his silver 9 millimeter gun and shoots the boulder and a big portal opens up.
BANG!
A van is trapped inside. A live video call from Pao is received on Ellie's laptop by Zet. Zet drops his walkie talkie cell phone radio in shock.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen) Looks like you made it in time, Zet.
ZET: (looking at and talking to Pao on Ellie's laptop) Pao, you're alive.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen and looking at Meifa) Meifa, it's been a long time.
ZET: (looking at and talking to Pao on Ellie's laptop) Pao, you're in unstable territory.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen) I know.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen) There isn't any stability left in the portal any way.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen) I sent you that text message because i wanted you to bring my daughter here.
ZET: (looking at and talking to Pao on Ellie's laptop) So you're trying to tell me that you used feng shui to bring us here?
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen) Of course.
ZET: (looking at and talking to Pao on Ellie's laptop) Pao, that's not true.
ZET: (looking at and talking to Pao on Ellie's laptop) This wasn't completely your doing.
ZET: (looking at and talking to Pao on Ellie's laptop) Meifa is here now because she wanted to see you.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen) You might be right.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen and looking at Meifa) Meifa, it's wonderful to see you 1 last time.
MEIFA: (looking at and talking to Pao on Ellie's laptop) I despised you all this time, but now i don't.
PAO: (talking on Ellie's laptop screen and looking at Meifa) Fare well Meifa.
The portal and connection disappear and Pao dies.
MEIFA: Papa, i'll always miss and remember you.
Meifa sheds tears and the portal closes up.
5 days later, Zet starts thinking back to him self for a fourth time, about the mission he, Meifa, and his team had been on.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) I really don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that we took her on that dangerous mission.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) In any case, this was how this mysterious mission ended.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) Before she went back to Klarz, she told me that even though i was 13 and she was 16, that she thought i was very mature for my age and that i was good looking too.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) She also told me that if i was at least 15 years old, that she would've made me her boy friend.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) Personally, i liked her a lot as a friend, but hearing an older girl say some thing like that to me, kinda made me feel flattered.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) The non-idiots ban was lifted from the camp site.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) Once again, daily life had returned, just as it was before.
ZET: (thinking to him self for a fourth time) One thing that has changed, i no longer read the horoscope page in news papers.
This was another good chapter filled with crime, drama, action, mystery, discovery, and nostalgia. Zet and Meifa are good friends, but they don't go well together as a pair.
