"Excuse me Elder Rainie," inquired Annie, "Who is Adrian? My name is Annie, not Adrian. I would like to know why you have confused me with her?"
"Adrian was my human lover. Come closer children, I will tell you about her," Rainie began. The four teens - - who didn't like to be referred to as "children" - - sat down so he could explain. * * *
Now we really must switch gears at this point. You really need to know what happened after Kanon and Ashley noticed that the Hovercraft was gone. As you might have guessed, they immediately knew what had happened, and began the search. But with Lombardia sleeping in the volcano again, Valeria Chateu being grounded since Irving and Altecia's death, and the Hovercraft in an unknown location, things looked grim.
After some convincing, Ashley asked the King to lend him something he could use to search for the Hovercraft. With nothing much in the way of transportation, the only option was a rowboat. So they were forced to go to Plan B.
The duo headed to Under Traffic, in order to journey to the Sielje region. Ashley was hoping to ask Lilika to borrow the Teleportation Orb. He'd have gotten a Teleportation Gem from the shop, but - - as luck would have it - - they were all out.
Ashley groaned, "Why do these things always happen to me? Everytime I want to do something, it all blows up." He then began to grumble about Sword Cathedral, Knight Blazer, getting locked in jail, Odessa, Vinsefeld, Kuipier Belt, the twins, and Marina's wrath.
Kanon sweatdropped. "Sure Ashley. Whatever you say. You don't have to complain to me, I know all too well about things that go wrong. When I met my fiancée, I thought I'd finally be able to find someone to love me after the death of my mother. But then he died in the accident. At least you have Marina to come home to after you find the twins, all I have to look forward to is another adventure with Annie around the world."
At this point, they exited Under Traffic. The two friends began to head for Mt. Chug-Chug, the final leg of their journey to Sielje. But by the time they arrived, it was late. So Kanon and Ashley were forced to camp out, and continue on in the morning.

"Wake up Ashley," yelled Kanon, "It's morning Ashley."
The marksman got up in a flash. He ran to the stream to wash his face in order to wake himself up. Then he gathered his supplies, and went back to Kanon.
"One of these days, you're going to get in trouble. Honestly Ashley, you're the former field commander of ARMS, you should know how to get up," she chided.
Ashley told her, "You try raising two pranksters for sixteen years, then come back and tell me how tired you feel ever night."
Kanon looked him in the eyes. "I think I'll pass. Let's get going."
They headed through Mt. Chug-Chug with rapid speed. Kanon knew they would need speed in order to reach the teens before something happened. She wasn't worried about Annie, the young girl could take care of herself. But Irv and Alley were prone to getting in trouble, and would probably be neck deep if they weren't with Annie.
When they managed to get through the cave, they found themselves in the Sielje Region. It wasn't long before they arrived at the magic city, and went inside. Then, the two began to search the town for Lilika.
Suddenly, Kanon felt something collide with her, knocking her over. When she looked at whatever it was, she saw a brown haired boy with green eyes who looked about five rubbing a bump on his head. He had on black shoes, brown pants, and a white shirt. Over them, the boy had on a blue robe that was lined with a golden color thread.
"I'm sorry miss," the boy stated, "I'm in a hurry."
"It's ok kid. I hope you weren't hurt," Kanon said.
The boy replied, "I'm ok miss. It's only a little wound. I'm a sorcerer in training, and I can just use my magic to heal it in no time."
Just then they heard a woman's voice echoing throughout the city. "Xavier, where are you young man? You better not be causing trouble for the citizens again. I swear, I wonder what manners that your father teaches you."
"Mama," called the boy, "I'm ok, just fell down."
A woman with long brown hair, wearing mage's robes came into view in a little while. She came over to them, and grabbed her son's hand. When she saw the duo that her boy had collided with, the woman's eyes went wide.
"Ashley, Kanon, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Don't mind Xavier, he takes after Terry way too much," she exclaimed.
Kanon said, "I know this is a little sudden Lilika, but we need to talk. We're having a little bit of an emergency, and need your help."
So Kanon and Ashley told Lilika about the twins and Annie disappearing with the Hovercraft. Then they mentioned about the store being out of Teleportation Gems, and the need they had to borrow the Teleportation Orb from her.
Lilika handed it over at once. "Of course I'll lend it to you. I couldn't just stand by while your children are in trouble. Just bring it back when you're done."
After saying goodbye to Lilika and her son, the two warriors outside. When they looked into the orb, they saw that the Hovercraft was near Baskar Village. Wondering if they had used the tools to climb to the village, they decided to go ask Tim if he'd seen them.
