On with the story!

THE WORLD DESTRUCTION TOUR

Their was a long, awkward pause.

"The world destruction Tour?" asked Artemis.

Foaly nodded.

"Seriously?"

Foaly nodded again.

"Never heard of it."

Commander Root smiled at this.

"Well, Mud-Boy, I wouldn't expect you to of heard of it. It's a Tournament that goes between schools for magic, dark arts possibly, and strength." He smiled. "The rumors said you were in the competition this year."

"…But," continued Foaly. "You don't go to a school like that. We were just calling to ask."

Holly looked at Artemis inquiringly. "But then… why are you at Gothic University?"

Artemis looked around the room at his new classmates and teachers. Then looked at Holly and gave an innocent shrug.

Holly, Root, and Foaly all groaned.

Artemis sighed. "I just got accepted."

They all groaned again until Holly asked: "So are you competing?"

Artemis laughed. He just got here! He wouldn't be entering a competition for Gods sake!

"Well…DUH!" said everyone making Artemis jump.

"Huh? But-but- I just got here!"

Suddenly Rose, and 2 other girls came in all with boxes of Dunkin' Donuts, and their coffee.

"Got the donuts!" cried Rose. While the person next to her, who had dark brown hair, and was wearing all patriotic stuff a fag on the shirt, blue jeans with red and white flags on it, the works, was passing out donuts along with another girl with red hair.

Raven, after taking a bite out of her jelly donut spoke up and said "We knew you were coming for a year now. You ARE competing."

She paused.

"…Or else."

Artemis gulped. "Or else what?"

"Exactly."

"So…" began Artemis now feeling nervous. "When is it? And who are we competing against?"

"Well… since we like to compete against people from other books, umm…. Hogwarts. (This is not going to be one of those thing's were Artemis goes to Hogwarts, keep reading!)

"…Their contestants are Harry Potter, DUH! Draco Malfoy, which gives us an advantage, those two will worry more about killing each other, Racheal Dugan, Chelsea Grinard (They aren't in the HP books, I just felt like adding them.), Hermionie Granger, Blaise Zimbonie, and uh… and a teacher, who is Remus Lupin. Now, that should be interesting."

Foaly, typical sarcastic Foaly, thought it might be fun to say: "Well Ravy, you being the all powerful master of strength and intellect should know better than to pick Artemis for something like this. Who else you got? Don't tell me you are going to be the teacher that's competing, are you?"

Raven Knew he was going to say something like that, and being the all powerful master of strength and intellect, as Foaly so kindly put it, already had a comeback for it.

"Why, Foalonous," Foaly paled and his eyes widened, Holly and Root gaped at him. "I have a perfectly good reason for picking Artemis, and I'm sorry to say, well, actually, no I'm not, I'm down right proud to say, your still sore because I won that bet 276 years back. And, um… Yes, I will be competing this year, along with Artemis, Bob, Bean, Evil, Rose, and Fell. So, when my school wins, be ready to face a Hell. Lot. Of gloating."

Root looked at Foaly, who was currently horrorstruck. "And you made fun of MY name? 'Julius' isn't half as bad as 'Foalonous'! What kind of name is that anyway!"

Raven closed the Laptop lid. She looked over at the other contestants and said "You ready to play?"

One week later, June 3rd

The suburbs outside New York City

8:06 a.m

The Gothic U students were meeting up with the Hogwarts students, who were now having a glaring contest.

To break the silence, Dumbledore (who will hardly EVER appear in this fic) said: "Students and teachers, may this be a friendly tournament, in this game you are going to across to different places in the world, and since we are in muggle populated areas, I would advise you not to use magic, but that is not quite a rule. You will find clues, and other challenges, this tournament WILL begin with a clue. But first there is one rule."

The teenagers looked at each other.

"…You must stay together. Stay together. You must stay together."

There were murmurs of "OK" and "Alright"

Then Dumbledore continued.

"I am now going to read the clue, but before I read the clue, there is one rule, you must stay together. Stay together. Stay together. Tasty, tasty. You must stay together. That is not part of the clue. I am now going to read the clue. But before I read the clue, there is one rule. You must stay together. Stay together. Stay together. You must stay-"

"ALRIGHT ALREADY! WE GET IT!"

"-I am now going to read the clue. The clue reads:

Time creates the past

Rivals and enemies,

Pitch a ride around

And around the town

To find the jewel

But run home

Before times

Half up.

There was a silence. Then Dumbledore said: "Work out the clue, and don't forget! STAY TOGETHER."

And he left.

The Gothic U students turned to each other. They started walking down the street away from the other students.

"Okay…" said Fell. " I think that clue may have been hinting that Dumbledore's suffering from Alzheimer's. But as for the rest of the clue…"

Artemis thought. "Time… rivals…. Ride…. Town…. Dark? I didn't understand a word of that."

Suddenly they noticed Raven, Fell, Evil, Bob, and Bean going into a hat shop.

"Hey! Wait up! Where are you going!" cried Artemis. He and Rose chased after them.

"We must stay together! Stay together! Tasty, tasty!" shouted Rose as the 2 entered the shop.

The others were looking at Yankee hats.

"What are you doing?" asked Artemis.

"Looking at Yankee hats, what else?" said Raven not even glancing up at him.

"But we are supposed to be thinking about the clue!"

"We are thinking about the clue. We're multi tasking. Well…" said Fell glancing at Bob. "Bob isn't. But we decided we're not going to hold his IQ against him."

Bob was looking at a hat that read: I LOVE CHICKENS

"Big surprise," muttered Artemis.

Bob turned to Artemis.

"You got a problem with chickens?" he asked.

"What? No! No, it's just uh…."

But no one was listening their heads had turned to the TV. A Yankees game was going on.

"….And the Yankees pitched another home run!" cried the narrator of the game.

A thought sprung in Artemis's Head.

He was staring at the Yankee hat in Evil's hand.

"Give me that!" he cried.

"What? What, you got some thing against Yankees too?"

"No! Let me see that!"

He grabbed it out of Evil's hand and stared at the hat.

"Time creates past… time…. rivals… and something about a jewel. Jewels are rubies, sapphires, diamonds…. DIAMOND! Times half up, Half-Time! Rivals are people who have the same goal as you, like to win a battle, or a game! And past time! America's past time is Baseball! We're in New York, sooo……"

Everyone looked at each other.

"YANKEE STADIUM!"

Authors Note: So that's the chapter! Coming up next, Yankee Stadium! You know what's funny about this fic? I'm a Red Sox fan. Yankees suck. But I like NY, so what chose do I have? Well, please review more than you did last time.
