Chapter Three

In a waste land far from any other lands or even dimensions, a stranger stood waiting on someone to come about something of great importance to him. It was a desert, but not a no-mans land. People stayed there for their reasons, but it was mainly that they didn't have any chose in the matter. There were walkways and ruins of buildings but other than that, there was just sand, flat floating rocks and space. There was a sun, even if you called it a sun but it gave a light brown dead color. It was just something that just reminded of what the people there had lost in their past life. But nothing could bring the stranger pain any more, just vengeance. He was growing impatient with his messenger. He should have been here hours ago. It would have been hours if that place had time, but still it shouldn't take this long to gather the information that he needed. Soon I will be free of this place, and the one who had helped do this to me will take my place. He thought.

He turned to look at the sky again and waited some more. Dust rose in front of him and lay back to the heated sand again. This is getting ridiculous, he thought. His messenger will be punished severely for this. He knew what to do to him, even if he couldn't be killed again. Yes, this was no ordinary place. This was the place where spirits go to spend the rest of their afterlife at. It was mainly a misery place that they were in. No torture, no fires like the living thought to be, just plain emptiness to spend in for eons to come and nothing to do with it. Then the stranger sensed something coming for the distance behind him; his messenger has finally come at last. He will punish him later; first he needed to know where his enemy will be going now. The messenger came running to his master with great speed. He knew he will be rewarded for his deeds and the information that he had for him. When he got to his master, he quickly knelled to him and bowed his head.

"My lord," he said with great respect in his voice.

"You late," the stranger began. His voice was cold and dark. Evil had covered him like the black cloak he wore. His breathing was like of a machine's. He has caused fear in his voice alone to most people that have seen him. It looks as if he didn't lose his touch in that department for his servant began to tremble with fear the instant he began talking. He knew that his messenger was lacking with his information that he is about to give him. He will show no pity on the worm that is in front of him but like he said earlier it would wait till he is done with his duties to do it.

"Tell me what you know." the stranger demanded to the messenger. The messenger quick began to tell him the information that he has gotten.

"My lord, they are heading for the dimension that you predicted that they will head to. It appears that they are going there with great speed as well. They will be there shortly. And the bait seems to miss her lover as well."

"As I thought," he said coldly. "and what of the machine?"

"It is having some minor problems working here, we should be having it functional by the time they arrive." the messenger said.

"You fool!!" the stranger shouted. He grabbed the messenger by the throat and hung him in the air. The messenger gasped for air but did not struggle free from his grasp.

"I want that machine going now! Everything should be perfectly timed for this to work. It only works if the machine is at full power before they arrive."

The stranger dropped him on the ground then turned to walk away. The messenger quickly got up and knelled before his master again like nothing happened.

"The Jedi will pay for turning by son against me; he and his love one will suffer the same price. GO!"

The messenger quickly got up to his feet and bowed before leaving his master.

"Yes, lord Vadar."  

"Amy, Amy? AMY!"

Amy was tore out of her daydream back into the study group with her friends that she has left. That was the fifth time she had done that today. She didn't know what was going on with her. Yeah, her grades were still up but it was like something was missing in her life, something that should be here with her right now.

Her friends were getting worried about her and knew that they shouldn't talk about it. But they knew that they should try and talk about something other than studying.

"Hey Amy, how about we go and get something to eat huh, I'm starving."

Serena was serious about being hungry but she also wanted to get out of the room and stop studying. But the others had saw though her scheme and weren't going anywhere.

"Oh no, you don't Serena." said Raye. "If you don't pass this next text you're going to be grounded for life, remember."

"I know but it so boring! Nothing is worth this much boredom, not even my freedom." Serena said.

"Come on Serena, you can do it," said Mea with a pen in her mouth.

"Yeah, you almost had the last one don't give up on us just yet." said Lita turning the page in a book that she had on the table.

"It's no uses," Serena said with tears in her eyes. "I'm never going to pass it!"

Serena had begun to cry and put her head down on the table. She done this every time that there was a huge text that needed to be passed.  Like always, Mea and Lita tried to bring her sprit back up but as they tried, Raye began to grumble about how much of a baby she was and complain that she was always giving up on these types of things. But though all of this, Amy kept quiet. She was beginning to daydream away again to the night she went on that hover board ride that she went on that night with D.J. It was the best feeling that she had ever had in her life. Not because she was in the air for the first time, but because of the feelings and passion she felt up there with him. Then why did he leave me, did he think that I didn't love hem anymore. She thought.

She did want to go out with Greg, but it turns out that it wasn't what she thought it was going to be. She didn't feel what she felt with Dossie. It wasn't like that at all. Now she was going out with someone who she didn't even love. And the person that she really truly loved hadn't come to her dimension in six to seven months now. It was like he completely hated her now. She would give anything for another chance to be with him again. God did she miss him. It was like she was crying inside and couldn't hold it anymore. "I miss D.J." she said quietly to herself.

Everyone stopped doing what they were doing and looked at her for a moment. Serena knew that Amy had missed Dossie a lot so did some of the others. She gazed around the room and saw the same saddened face that Amy had on the rest of the others. Mea had started to look up at the ceiling, Lita had looked deeply into her book and sighed a little, and even Raye had looked a depressed. They all went out with the Kids Force except for her; she had Darien in her own dimension to herself. But she felt sorry for them all. It's been a while that Dossie left for good for the dimension. He said that he thought that they could take care of themselves and thought that they weren't needed anymore. But they knew that it was because he couldn't look at Amy the same way. Because of that the girls couldn't even see their boyfriends that they liked so much. I have to do something about this. She thought. She knew that she wasn't an Honor Roll student and couldn't be to save her life, but when a friend was in trouble she had all the right stuff.

"Look guys, we all miss the boys but that shouldn't keep us down huh?" she asked. "We all need to take a break from this anyway."

"It's that stupid Greg's fault!" Mea said angrily slamming her fist against the table. "If he didn't come back and sway Amy like that we will still have the boys with us right now."

Lita had tapped Mea on her shoulder and made her look at Amy. Tears had started to go down her face rapidly as she looked down at her text book she had. Mea tried to catch her self but it was too late. Amy got up, got her stuff, opened the door and left the room without saying a word. Everyone forgot their sorrow and tried to go after Amy that instant. Mea continuity said that she was sorry has she had got her book bag as the rest got their jackets. Serena had reached her hand for the door when she had heard had heard a voice behind her.

"Serena!" the voice said.

She had turned around to see Luna and Artemus, their cat guardians. Both of them stood on their four paws next to each other they all turned around to see what they had wanted.    

"We have some news that will sure to please all of you." Artemus said with enthusiasm in his voice.

Luna looked around the room with great disappointment in her eyes. "Where's Amy?" she asked. "We were hoping that she will be here to so we can tell her the news we have."

"That why we were going out," Lita answered. "Amy got a little emotional and gone out."

"Well that's all going to change when she hears this." Artemus replied.

"Come on and tell us what it is." Mea said agitated.

"Yeah, what's the big news?" Serena asked.

"Their coming back," Luna answered. "The Kids Force is coming back! They'll be here within two hours."
