Chapter 9: A Sigh of Relief

The image of the airplane with Joe in the cockpit traveled through Cody's mind millions of times. He felt horrible about it. He didn't know what he could of done or was going to do. Cody was for sure that his best friend was dead. As he continued walking, he thought about the mysterious light he saw surrounding the tower, and the flaming figure that he had seen on the seventh floor of the tower. As he was heading to Mr. Fuji's house to tell him about his Pikachu and Bulba-stick, he heard someone say, "Hey, wait up, Cody!" It seemed to be a familiar voice. He turned around to see Joe! "Joe, is that really you? I thought you were dead! How did you live?" Cody asked Joe, being surprised about seeing his friend who he thought should have been dead. "Well, it all started like this." Joe said as he went into a flashback.

FLASHBACK

"I had fallen asleep when I began to hit the tower. When I hit, I woke up before the fireball hit the cockpit. I reacted quickly by pressing the eject button, and I launched myself up to the seventh floor. Once I landed, the ground began collapsing everywhere I walked. It was like a living hell. As I kept walking, a fireball hit me and I was knocked to the ground. Luckily, the ground was solid or else I would be dead. I kept walking, thinking I would die. Then, I stepped on a glowing square. Then, the entire building was glowing and it was repaired. There was no fire, no crashed airplane, no burns, and no holes in the floor. I was wondering what had happened when a Channeler came up to me and said, 'You have stepped on the Life and Light square. When you step on it, all past events of evil disappear forever. All of Lavender relies on that square to keep them alive and healthy forever.' So that's what happened and also why I'm still alive."

END OF FLASHBACK

"Well, thank god that you're alive," Cody said happily with a sigh. "Now, let's go to Mr. Fuji's house, okay?" he asked. "Let's go," Joe said as they walked to Mr. Fuji's house.
