So with Petal once again...

The elf was trying to find the book that Leaf used to get to the human area of the planet. By the looks of it, it doesn't really seem like it's anywhere on the shelf. Petal kept looking through the shelves at a fast rate, trying to find this book, as Pine-Cone was looking around for it as well.

"Where did he put that book?" Petal asked, looking around the book store, before looking over to the elf who was helping her. "Did you found the book yet?"

"I don't see it anywhere!" Pine-Cone said, looking inside the same barrel Leaf hidden himself in before. Pine-Cone pulls himself out of the barrel, before walking over to Petal. "You think Leaf brought it with him to his house?"

"I doubt Leaf would bring a book to his house."

"Well, it was just a thought." Pine-Cone leans on the bookshelf he was standing next to, accidentally shaking it.

On top of the shelf, a book fell onto the ground, right behind Petal. The noise of the book hitting the ground behind her made the elf jump in fear where she's standing. The female elf looks behind herself, before running over to the book, picking it up.

She looks through the book, until she found the page that she was looking for. She flipped through the pages, until she found the one with the vortex that Leaf took to get to Canada. She stood up, before nodding her head at what the page was saying. After enough memorizing what to do, she places the book back onto the shelf, then looks over to Pine-Cone.

"Alright. I know how to do a portal like that. It's simple." Petal said. "We got to warn the other villagers that Leaf is missing."

"You're acting like they'd care." Pine-Cone said to her.

"Well they have to know why I am leaving, despite the king putting me in charge of the gem after he dies. They have to know where you're heading off to as well, considering that you are the one who defends the island's raccoons."

"Good point."

"Right. So we have to go tell the other villagers about what me and you are going off to."

"Alright alright...lets just go do that..."

"Great." Petal and Pine-Cone ran out of the book store, ready to tell the other villagers about what's going on.


Back with Preston and Esma...

The two arrived at what appears to be a spot with a table, and a couple ladders, heading up to a higher spot in this cave. Esma smirked, looking up at the higher platform of rocks that had another table with a couple bags on top of it. She points up, as she approaches the ladder.

"Keep a light shining up there. I know where Morcubus kept a couple pieces of metal that was left behind by mistake when he, Paul, Cyrus, and Michael were here last." Esma said. "It'll be quick." Preston looks behind himself, making sure there was nobody coming down here, before shining the flashlight upward. Preston than stood by, keeping the flashlight in the air.

"Alright." Preston said.

Esma climbed up the ladder, heading up to the top platform of the cave where the metal was located at. She ran over to the table that was up there. Turning on the lantern that was conveniently on the table up there, Esma notices the bags of metal that was on the table, causing Esma to nod her head.

"Exactly where I expect them to be at." The MorcuCorp girl said, before picking the bags up. "Just so happy that I get to collect the last few bags that were abandoned before the first Nightmare Crown was made."

She started placing some of the bags into her jacket as she was collecting them. Esma took all of the bags that were still there, before walking over to the ladder to climb down them. Once she was down near Preston again, the two were about to go out of the cave room they were in.

But before they could leave, James, Jenny, and Leaf came into the cave section, stopping the two before they could go anywhere. Preston and Esma stopped in their tracks, shocked to see that the three of them were out of the basement. Esma growled to herself, before pointing at the three of them, angry that they were here right now.

"How the hell did you three escape?!" Esma asked, angrily.

"With the help of one of your...friends." Jenny said, glaring at Esma.

"One of those workers at the warehouse allowed you to leave?! Those pricks, I swear, I'm going to kick their asses when me and Preston get back to that building!" Jenny shook her head.

"Oh no, it's not one of those workers at that warehouse. We're talking about the girl we happen to have found down there." Esma's eyes widened when Jenny said that.

"You don't mean..."

"Makoto? In a matter of a fact, yes I do."

Esma gasps as Makoto came walking into the cave section, glaring at the two that James, Jenny, and Leaf were confronting in here. The MorcuCorp girl shook her head, slowly narrowing her eyes at the sight of the robot girl in front of her. Makoto than glares at Preston. The robot than spoke, before waving a fist at the MorcuCorp girl.

"You, Esma! First, you and Brandi trick me into trying to have you take the warehouses in your town, now...this?" Makoto asked, berating her. "You stole my battery, and I have been away from Dr. F and Alexa for so long, I don't even know if they are either older or dead." Esma shook her head, glaring at the robot, walking up to her.

"You don't scare me, Makoto." Esma said, viciously at her. "If I had the chance, you would've been used to turn into the crown." Esma than looks at the three who confronted her and Preston first. "Now look here you three pricks, I don't know how the hell you think you're going to take me on, but I can tell you one thing, you three are weak. Me and Preston by just be two people, but we have a Nightmare Crown to build, and that will be enough to have your asses down within seconds." Jenny shook her head.

"I'm still work at the SPA Agent!" Jenny said, glaring at the MorcuCorp girl. "I can just pull my phone out and tell Agent Walker that you guys are up to something, and you will regret ever coming up with this second Nightmare Crown..." Esma pulls out a pistol from her jacket, aiming it at Jenny.

"Except me and Preston can just kill you right here, right now, and we'll be on our way!"

"Not if I have anything to say about..." Preston balls up his first, just as James stepped closer ready to stop Esma.

"Or I'll stop you, James." Preston said.

"Then I'll stop you, and Esma!" Leaf said, holding up his hand causing purple magic to come out of it. Leaf then realized that he is using magic in front of Esma and Preston, as they were staring at him with shock looks. "Ah crap..."

"Hello...you have magic somehow..." Esma said, giving the elf a smirk as she walked up to him. "...Now how is this possible?" Leaf lowers his hand, stopping his magic.

"Uh...I don't know...you asked me! You must be seeing things! This cave is kind of hot anyways, am I right? It's pretty cold up here, but..." Esma glared at the elf, before pulling him closer to his face, glaring at him.

"Tell me how you're magical!"

Out of nowhere, Esma was pushed to the ground by Jenny. She lets go of Leaf once she was pushed. Preston's eyes widened, before he glared at the geeky goth he was standing next to. James's girlfriend pushing the girl he cheated on Beebee pushed him to fight him.

James dodges a punch that he threw, before kicking Preston in his leg. Esma got off the ground, and then pushes James onto the ground. Preston ran up to James ready to continue his fight, only for Leaf to throw magic at him, causing the prep to fly straight into the wall. Esma glared at Leaf, charging at him, before Makoto taps the girl on her shoulder, causing Esma to look behind herself, and being punched by the robot. Esma fell to the ground.

"That was the first time I actually used magic to fight someone." Leaf said. "I thought Pine-Cone was going to be the first person I do that to. Jokes aside, now what?" Jenny looks at Makoto who has took the bags of metal from Esma. She hands the bags over to Jenny.

"Looks like we can leave. Without these bags of metal, they can't make that crown at all." Jenny said. "Come on, we should probably get to the car now." Jenny then looks over to Makoto. "Didn't expect you to punch that girl, dude. That was crazy."

"I never say anything too mean, but Esma had it coming ever since she ended up friends with Morcubus." Makoto said, nodding her head.

"Right. Come on guys, lets go."

The four of them ran out of the cave, heading off to James's car. The group ran through the corridor back to the bridge, jumped over the hole that was in the middle of the bridge, then headed out of the entrance. Once they got into the car, they headed back into the town.

During the drive, James began to speak to Leaf while they were heading back to the town they were at before. "You didn't have to show magic like that to them, dude." James said. "Now Esma and Preston are aware of there being an elf in this town."

"I know I should have done that! But...I had to." Leaf said. "I mean...Jenny could've been dead, and you were about to get your ass kicked...I had to do something to defend you guys." Leaf then looks down at his hands. "Truthfully...I was afraid of you guys dying, and...I had to live with the fact that I screwed something up. I'm already somebody who screws shit up back in the Forest of the Elves."

James looks down, before sighing to himself. He felt like the next stop, he will just have to talk to Leaf about the whole ordeal and how it went down. He was also kind of curious on why Leaf decided to leave the Forest of the Elves in the first place. The geeky goth sighed once again, before focusing on the road.


Back at the Forest of the Elves, it was about time for Petal to try to tell the other elves about the disappearance of Leaf. She got on top of a pile of boxes that were in front of one of the stores, and then stared out to a couple of the villagers who were standing by. They were talking among themselves, not knowing about what had happened in the past few days.

Wanting their attention now, Petal whistles for them to look at her. The villagers heard the whistle, causing all of them to look straight at Petal after she did that. With all the villagers attention on her, Petal began to speak, while pulling out the gem the king gave her.

"Other elves! I need to tell you all something very vital that has occurred on our island!" Petal said as loud as she could. "Leaf has disappeared a couple days ago..."

After she said that, the other elves immediately felt like ignoring her after she mentioned Leaf. The female elf shook her head. She knew that the villagers would ignore her once she brought Leaf into the conversation. Now she has no other choice but to finally show them the gem.

She held the gem the king has in her hands, making all of the elves look at her, surprised. They knew that the king is the one who has that gem, and even owns it. None of them could even believe that somebody like Petal even have something like that with her. As she held the gem in her hands, one of the elves came forward, pointing at the female elf.

"How do you have the king's gem that he uses to defend nature?!" One of the villagers asked her.

"Because...I am his granddaughter!" Petal said, looking at that villager. "He trusts me with the gem, since he is...moments away from dying. His time is almost up, and he handed me this gem, knowing I would be trustworthy enough to defend you all, and the rest of the island from any harm that comes to attack nature!" It was at that moment, Pine-Cone stood up onto the pile of boxes, looking at the villagers.

"She's telling you all the truth!" Pine-Cone said. "I was with her at the castle when the king was sick on his bed! I heard what he had to say about his granddaughter, and...I have to admit, I was shocked too." Petal nods her head.

"Now, for Leaf, I...I know he is a bit of a...person who messes up a lot...but he means well. He's a very nice person deep down, regardless of whether or not, he is lazy, or a bit of a silly person, but...regardless of that, he has a different interest from the rest of us, and we made him leave out village because of it." Petal then looks down at the gem in her hand. "...I...I was against him when he was asking me to side with him, when he needed a friend the most..." The female elf closes her eyes, before stepping off of the box pile. "...So it should be in my will to go and get him back here to our island. Me and Pine-Cone will do whatever it takes to bring him back, safe and sound, before whatever evil feeling the king felt..." Petal stays silent, before one of the villagers came forward.

"The evil feeling that we all felt years ago? What if you and Pine-Cone never return?!" The villager asked. Petal looks down at the gem in her hand.

"Then so be it..." Petal said softly, before walking off with Pine-Cone to go off to go create a portal to head to the human section of the world.

It took awhile, before the two could actually create a portal for themselves to get to the human's section of the world. Petal and Pine-Cone looked down at the portal that was there between Leaf's house, and the nearest boulder. Petal took a deep breath, feeling nervous about this.

"You really sure that this is going to bring us to where Leaf is?" Pine-Cone asked her.

"I believe we should be lucky if it does or not." Petal said, looking down at the portal, unsure with where it is going to bring them to. "But we're going to have to hope that this portal sends us to the place in this world where Leaf is located at. He could literately be anywhere in this entire world, but...I just hope that Leaf is on the other side of this one."

Petal closes her eyes, before she jumped into the portal. Pine-Cone gulps, before hopping into the portal, following Petal. After they both jumped into there, the portal disappeared from the ground.


Meanwhile...

Esma sat up from being knocked out. She glares over to Preston, who was still feeling hurt from that whole fight. She stood up, before walking over to Preston, looking down at him, just as he was getting up from the ground.

"Get up, Preston. It looks like Jenny and those three other pricks got away." Esma said, pulling the prep onto his feet. "We got to get where they are before they get too far from us." Preston rubs his head, nodding, before looking to the ground.

"How long were we out?" Preston asked.

"How the hell should I know?! Also, there's really no time for that question, we got to find those four right now. They have the bags of metal we need to build the crown." The prep got off of the ground, then the two of them started to run out of the cave.
