At the Chaos Gate was a small party of people. They stood there out of the way, as if waiting for someone to come. In that group were Bryce the Hacker, James the PK'er, Leah the Twin Blade, and Ryan the Long Arm. They were waiting for Austin, the Wavemaster.
Bryce had already sent the invitation to join their party. Now all they could do was wait.

Ryan: Dang it! How can he make us wait so long?!?!?!?
Leah: Watch your temper, Ryan. I bet he's on his way right now.
Ryan: Leah, do you have to be so darn optimistic all the time?!?!?!?!?
Bryce: She's right. All we can do anyway is wait.
James: Besides, it would take too long to go to every single area and look for him. There are too many possibilities.
Ryan: Well, we could start.
Bryce: No need. Here he comes now.

At that moment, Austin had warped in to the Root Town. He rushed over to them.

Austin: Sorry I'm late, guys. My mom was giving me a long speech about playing video games too much.
Ryan: Finally! Now let's go!
Bryce: Hold your horses, Ryan. Let Austin put in the coordinates.

Austin went up to the Gate. He put in the coordinates Happy Sad Foxtrotting Forgetfulness. All of them warped out.

All of them reached the Chest Room at the same time. They all walked toward the chest that stood there in the middle of the room on a tall platform.

Austin: Well, this is it.
Ryan: This is where you found that wierd server?
Austin: Yup.
Leah: I'm scared...
Bryce: Well? Who wants to open it?
Ryan: Not me.
James: No way, man.
Leah: I'm not gonna!
Austin: I will.

Austin walked up to the chest. He looked behind him at the rest of the party behind him for a moment, and then turned toward the chest. He opened it.
A broken stone tablet appeared and floated above the chest. Suddenly a great flux of power nocked all of them off their feet. Light was pouring out from the tablet.
Suddenly, a mysterious voice spoke.

Voice: W h y h a v e y o u c o m e b a c k ? Y o u s h o u l d n o t b e h e r e . Y o u s h o u l d l e a v e . Y o u m u s t l e a v e n o w . . .

Suddenly, a bright flash of light blinded them. They all warped to the mysterious server. The tablet disappeared.
And the server crashed again.
Everyone was booted off of the server.
But now the problem was much worse.
Five people were missing.
