"Where in the world is that bloody portal?" Sharri cried, as the Keepers searched all over Cyberspace through the Cybercoupe.
"It could be disguised as a black hole." Creech replied, "Who knows how it looks like?"
"How 'bout that?" Inez asked, pointing at a swirling fissure in Cyberspace, which seemed like a tunnel way.
"That's it!" Slider cried.
"Hold on, guys!" Digit cried, steering the Cybercoupe at high speed towards the portal, "We're going super speed!"
"Whoaaaaa!"
After a bumpy ride through the portal, they were thrown out of the other end, and below were cliffs and rocks.
"We're gonna crash!" Jackie screamed.
Digit tried to move the Cybercoupe, but it was no use. "Everything's dead!" Digit cried.
"I wish we could just Fly out of here-whoa!" Inez screamed as she was shot through the glass overhead ceiling by her Amulet, and wings sprouted out of the stone, making Inez hold onto the chain that was around her neck with all her might.
"What word made the Amulet do that?" Matt cried.
"Fly?" Jackie wondered out loud, as the same thing happened to her Amulet.
The others cried out the demand, as the same thing happened to their Amulets.
The Keepers and their Watcher flew away with their Amulets, as the Cybercoupe crashed and was completely destroyed.
"Dr. Marbles is gonna kill me for this!" Digit wailed, watching the Cybercoupe explode and crash.
"Hey, look at it this way!" Inez called, "It's a small price to pay for almost being killed!"
"Where to now, Matt?" Sharri called.
"I guess where the Seeker and the Finder are!" Matt called back, "What the-"
Matt's Amulet's wings disappeared, as Matt fell down to a hole on the stone ground.
The others' Amulets' wings also disappeared, and dropped the others towards the hole.
They all landed scattered in one area, in a cavern.
"Where is this place?" Creech asked.
"Judging by what happened," Matt said, standing up and dusting himself, "I'd say we're where the Seeker and the Finder - duck!"
"What?" Jackie exclaimed as the others ducked. Jackie understood when she saw a dagger flying her way.
The dagger pinned itself in the wall of the cave.
"DID YOU SEE THAT?" Inez screamed.
"No duh!" Matt cried.
The dagger was jewelled and made of gold and silver. GlassRibbons were strewn from the other end of the dagger. The end that showed in the open.
"WHO GOES THERE?" a voice cried.
"We're in for it!" Digit screamed.
"WHO ARE YOU?" the voice cried.
The as the Keepers and Digit got up, the owner of the voice appeared.
Sharri was the first to notice. She gasped.
The others looked her way,
The voice belonged to a boy seemingly at the age of 15. He had shoulder length, tousled brown-grey hair, that was filled with soot and dust. His face was also dirty. So were his medival farm boy style clothes, and his hands. His feet weren't scarred, but they were a bit bruised and dirty. A jewelled sheath for a dagger was attached to his belt. He had sparkling blue eyes, that seemed to be too blue for him to be human.
"Oh, I'm sorry." the boy said, noticing the Keepers, "I thought you were someone else."
Matt noticed it had a british accent to it. Okay, so, maybe he's from Earth, maybe he's from here, The Meridian Line. For one thing, he was in here for a very long time.
"Who exactly were you looking for?" Digit asked.
"I'll explain everything in the shelter." the boy replied, leading the way through the caverns, "C'mon."
"Not much of a civilized shelter but, good enough." Inez mumbled under her breath.
"I used to live in a civilized shelter." the boy explained, sitting down beside Sharri, "Before something destroyed our home, and our parents."
"By our, who do you mean?" Sharri asked.
"Me and my brother, Tohmis." the boy replied, "By the way, I'm Ryan. Ryan Welkohalas. And, you are?"
"Sharri Spotter." Sharri replied with a smile, putting a strand of loose hair behind her ear. Jackie could swear that she saw her blushing.
Ryan just smiled and the asked the others, "What are the rest of your names?"
"I'm Matt, and this"-Inez mustered and "Oof!" when Matt put and arm over her shoulder and squeezed her-"is my godsister, Nezzie."
"It's Inez!" Inez growled through her godbrother's torture, "Just Inez! And don't call me Nezzie!"
"Whatever." Matt smiled, letting Inez go.
"I'm Digit." Digit said proudly, as Inez pulled Matt's ear in the background.
"I'm Creech, and this is Jackie." Creech replied, nudging a distracted Jackie to get her attention.
"Oh!" Jackie exclaimed, "Hello!"
"And I'm Slider." Slider replied, then frowned when he noticed the two godsiblings fighting.
Jackie groaned in embarrasment.
"Are they always like this?" Ryan whispered to Sharri.
"Hm. I dunno for sure." Sharri replied, "The last time I met them, they weren't godsiblings. They were just friends. Well, more like rival-friends."
"There's no such term." Ryan frowned.
"Well, you know what I mean." Sharri replied.
Digit started fuming, then yelled at the godsiblings, "BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!"
The godsiblings immediatly silenced.
"Oh no..." Ryan whispered hoarsley.
"What?" Sharri asked.
Before Ryan could answer, another voice with a british accent yelled through the walls of the cavern and the shelter cave: "RYAN! DO I SENSE MAGIC?"
"Run!" Ryan cried, and led the Keepers and the Guardian out of the shelter and into the wild caverns.
"Who's that?" Jackie screamed, as they ran through the side wall path.
"That was my brother Tohmis for you!" Ryan replied, "One sound that's unrecognizable as a family member or a friend of Tohmis, he'll kill them rather than chasing them out!"
"Why?" Matt cried, as Digit caught up to the middle of the running by flying.
"I don't know!" Ryan called back, "Ever since last month, when Wicked invaded Sinnima and collected troops for the army, Tohmis has been acting different! Now save your questions until we're safe if you wanna get out of here alive!"
"Hey, Ryan!" a boy seemingly 14 years old greeted, "What's the-whoa!"
"No time to explain, Adam!" Ryan cried, grabbing the boy's arm.
The boy named Adam was slightly smaller than Ryan, but he was dressed similar to Ryan. The only difference was the colour shades, the brown vest, the style of shirt, and he wore very flat, worn out sandals.
"Who are these guys?" Adam cried, noticing the others.
"Uh..." Ryan turned his head to see the visitors, "Exactly who are you guys?"
"We're Keepers!" Sharri replied, "The Keepers of Amuletdium!"
"Oh my god!" Ryan cried, "Then we gotta get you guys outta here, fast!"
"Why?" Inez screamed.
"Tohmis is after the Keepers of Amuletdium!" Ryan replied.
"Look!" Adam cried, "There's the exit!"
"Even when you get out, don't stop running!" Ryan called to the Keepers.
With that, they rushed out into the meadow, and ran through the knee-high grassblades as fast as they could.
"You don't think he'll get the dragon, don't you?" Adam asked.
"DRAGON?" the Keepers exclaimed.
Suddenly, there was a neighing from the sky.
The Keepers and the two others looked up while still running, to see a flock of multi-coloured unicorns, with people and half-creatures, riding the backs of each one. Except for 9 extra unicorns.
"Hop on!" the leader of the group called.
Each of the Keepers, and Ryan and Adam, leapt up on one unicorn each.
As the unicorns flew up from the ground, a growling roar shook the caverns.
"It's the dragon!" Adam screamed.
"We're in for it!" Jackie wailed.
That's when the leader of the group cried to her allies, "Rebellion! It's time to outrun the Dragon of Darkness!"
The allies of the leader cheered, while the Keepers were shocked.
"You don't happen to be Annika, don't you?" Slider called to the brown haired girl.
"Why you wanna ask?" the girl called back.
"We're looking for Annika, the Leader of the Rebellion against Wicked!" Slider replied, "Do you have the Crystal Unicorn?"
Before the girl could answer, there was a distant crash. Soon, a black and grey dragon flew towards them. A boy at the age of 18, with long, silver hair, pale skin, black, soulless eyes, and wearing gothic clothing, was riding on the back of the magnificent dragon.
"It's Tohmis!" Ryan cried.
"That's Tohmis?" Inez screamed.
"That's him, alright!" Ryan replied, "We gotta go faster!"
"Rebellion, now!" the girl cried to her team.
They all flew swiftly and quickly through the air, the wind rushing past the Keepers' and the teammates' faces.
Inez screamed for one second because of the blast of wind. Her breath was snatched by the bellowing wind.
The breathtaking moment was interuppted when the dragon roared again.
The girl looked foreward and saw that they were at the top of a hill. More like a grassy mountain. Down below was...
"A PORTAL!"
"Down!" the girl commanded.
The unicorns galloped and flapped their great wings as they stormed at high speed in mid-air, down the meadow mountain towards the river portal.
The dragon wasn't too close behind...
The dragon roared, as Tohmis yelled out a battle cry, and soon, other dragons flew by his side and behind him.
"Wicked's army!" Slider cried.
"Through the portal, now!" the girl cried, as the unicorns rushed into the closing river. When the last one entered, the portal closed all too quickly for Tohmis and his army to enter.
The girl checked her surroundings for any sight of Wicked's Army or Tohmis. When everything was clear, a smile spread across her face.
"We succeeded, Rebellion!" the girl exclaimed to her team, as the whole team cheered, and flew down to a large campsite. Almost like an old village.
"Ahem." Slider said to the girl.
"Hm?" the girl faced him, "Oh! Yeah! See? Crystal Unicorn."
The Keepers, Ryan, and Adam, gathered around to see the pendant.
The Unicorn was made of Rose Quartz Glass, and was born on a beautiful chain that was embedded with crystals and silver.
"That's it." Matt said, "That's the Crystal Unicorn."
The girl smiled, and held her hand out to Slider. "Annika. Annika Metropolis."
