Disclaimer: I don't own Jon.
N/A: So the story continues now. We join our heroes on the Mont. Once again looking for information.

Jon was in the library, pouring over dictionaries and atlas's about Aethiopicus. So far no luck. At first he thought that the landmass in the right corner was a continent. It looked like the tip of Africa, but the island next to it didn't show up. He thought that the left corner land was Florida, but that too was wrong. Nothing on the map seemed to fit!
"This investigation is going nowhere!" Jon moaned as AJ came in.
"Me too. Maybe a solution will present itself tomorrow. You get some rest. I'll do some research."
Jon nodded gratefully, and went out to the main wall to watch the tide to come in. The tide was indeed impressive. Like AJ said, it moved extremely fast. What Jon did not expect was the ominous Green flash as the water crashed against the wall. Jon thought it might have been the Moss, but a man that was standing next to him was no longer there.
"Strange. He couldn't have walked off like that so quickly. Maybe I should tell AJ. This seems a little suspicious." Jon thought. He decided to go to AJ.

"Are you sure that's what you saw Jon?" AJ inquired.
"Absolutely."
"Okay then. What about the guy next to you?"
"He vanished without a trace."
"Hmm. Let's go to the graveyard. I conducted an experiment this afternoon." Jon followed AJ, unconvinced. "Here we are." AJ said. He unfolded a piece of paper from his pocket. He began looking at all the names on the tombstones carefully.
"What are you doing AJ?"
"Hold on. AHA! Come here."
"What is it?"
"Out of curiosity, I wrote down the Names, dates, epitaphs, of the tombstones. If there was a new one that I hadn't recorded, then our killer had struck. And here is a new one."
"What if you missed this on your recording?"
"I wouldn't. Trust me."
"So you are saying that this is the testing ground of our killer?"
"Correct. Let us check out that water shall we? I don't think it was moss that you saw."

"How shall we do this AJ? We can't just climb down the wall with a ten foot depth now, and the water is just like a raging ocean, we can't get down safely, plus I'm sure we are breaking a few rules." "I don't know really. I guess I could hold onto a rope as you grabbed a moss sample, then you scurry up." "I don't like this AJ." "Oh go on you big baby. You've got some more common sense for things like navigating a slippery rock wall and not getting killed. Now hurry up." "Don't we have a warrant?" "Where is your sense of adventure? Besides, did you ever see James Bond carry a warrant?" "No." "Exactly. Now go on down." At last Jon went down, retrieving a moss sample before being crushed by a monstrous wave. "Remind me Jon, why did we want to get Moss?" "There might have been a radioactive or some energy burst that caused that flash. Kind of like a sonic boom, just with no sound. This moss might be contaminated with some radiation." "How exactly do we find out whether there is radioactive stuff in it or not?" "Surly there is some lab equipment on this place." "You go get that done. Tomorrow night, we're going into that water to see what the big deal is." ?????

The test for radioactivity was successful. The moss contained a much higher amount of contamination than other moss samples. Something was in the water, causing that contamination.
"Now we are prepared to fight. Harpoon gun, Pistol, a neat dagger replica, and a few instant first aid kits." AJ said. "Plus the scuba gear." "Right. We'll get in the water at the ocean, and swim to the island before the Tide comes in. that way, we are in the water the whole time, and we can be there when the green light flashes." AJ said. "Okay. Let's get in the water." In moments, both were in the shallow canal that connected the area near the Mont. and the ocean. "Breathing okay? Can you hear me on Comm AJ?" "Roger. I can breathe fine. Vision is a little unclear though." "You get used to it." "I hope that we don't need to fight." "Me too AJ. Me too." Both swam along, seeing a bit of fish and crabs, but not very much but murky water. "Okay then, get ready. The tide is coming in. It should push us fairly well, so we'll get there in time." "So far so good." AJ said. That concept was only a fleeting second longer. For a conspicuous water jet propelled behind, 4 riders on it. "Look out AJ! We've got company!" AJ immediately to his left, a harpoon missing him by inches. AJ had his own harpoon out and fired at the nearest bad guy's chest. The harpoon propelled him backwards, with blood spurting out. Jon had his little knife out, and cut the tube connecting the mask to the oxygen tank on one guy. That was two down. The other two were prompt in making the little watercraft produce clouds of smoke. Within the murk, the two disappeared, while the machine remained. "Where did they go?" AJ asked. "I don't know. Let's grab that craft. Maybe it has an autopilot or something." It did. The screen said "Destination: Mont Saint Michelle Tide line. Portal systems on line. Standby for inter-hub opening. Inter-hub set to 1357."
