The group of youngsters, now minus one, waited impatiently. They'd told Tol

about Kevin's disappearance and he immediately went out to search for him. That had

been several hours ago and everyone wondered if Tol would find Kevin or even if Tol

would return, himself.

Suddenly, Johnny leaned down to listen to something Plank "had to say."

"Guy's, Plank want to know what's gonna happen to us even if we happen to be

of any help. He says we don't have anything to live for afterwards."

"I guess we'll have to make a new life for ourselves." Suggested Edd.

It was then that they heard a hissing sound from the next room. Despite the

fatigue they felt, the kids managed to pulls themselves up and prepare themselves for

whatever was there.

After a moment, the hissing stopped and a lone figure walked into the room. At

first, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. However, the sour expression put their

minds at ease.

"Kevin, you're alive!" Yelled Nazz, running over to hug him.

The others also told of their relief at seeing him alive. However, their time of joy

was soon ended as something came in the same way Kevin had. It was none other then

the snake man. Stunned by the sight of him, the kids leapt back into defensive positions

again.

"Take it easy." Announced Kevin. "This is Randar. He saved me from one of

Black's goons. Good thing too. I mistook the guy for a kid like us."

"You s-s-s-s-s-should never go out there alone like that." Continued Randar.

"Victor Black is very intelligent. He has-s-s-s a way of tricking people."



After the whole experience they'd just received, the group worked harder and

harder in training. Soon, they each discovered a part of their new life they excelled at.

Ed, being the strongest, was easily the best hand-to-hand fighter. His only

problem was his lack of concentration. Edd had studied every book Tol had down there

and learned almost everything he needed to know about the history of the new world and

most of it's new inhabitants. Eddy found that his scamming skill could be put to good

use in this time in tricking enemies.

Rolf felt very much at home in this new world since he hadn't used very many

modern items during his former life, so he had little adjusting to do for his new one.

Johnny, being used to translating for Plank, found his nitch learning other languages used

around the new world.

Nazz and Sarah were fast becoming expert archers and even Jimmy was

beginning to learn to fight.

Perhaps the most changed, was Kevin. After his encounter with Randar, he'd

stepped his training up more then anyone, trying to learn everything he could, so he'd be

prepared next time he went out.



Finally, the day they'd waited so long for came. During dinner, Tol stood up

before the group with a big announcement.

"You kids have all done better then anyone could've expected. Now it's time for

us to do our part to save what's left of the world. Tomorrow, we go out there."
