Scourge returned through Chaos Control to come face to face with Armand staring at him "What troubles you, Gatekeeper?" "I turned my gaze upon you in Hot Crater, but I could neither see you nor hear you. You were shrouded from me, like the Rock Giants that somehow entered this realm". Scourge dismissively walked past him "Perhaps your senses have weakened after your many years of service" "Or perhaps someone has found a way to hide that which he does not wish me to see". Scourge stopped and turned back to Armand "You have great power, Armand. Did Striker ever fear you?" "No. He is my king, and I am sworn to obey him" "He was your king and you're sworn to obey me now. Yes?". There was a pause and then "Yes" "Then you will open Chaos Control to no one until I have repaired the damage my brother has done".


Coral was in her motor home reading a book in a bed when she heard a knock at the door. She ran to the door and opened it only to see Razor carrying Ellidy over his shoulder "Oh, Gaia. Is he okay?". Razor laughed "He's fine. Not injured at all. I promise you". He entered and accidently hit Ellidy's head "I'm sorry, my friend" "What happened?" "We drank, we fought, he made his ancestors proud". Razor lowered Ellidy onto a bed. Ellidy laughed "I still don't think you're the God of Thunder. But you ought to be" he patted his arm. Suddenly Pearly ran in grinning "You're back! Did you get your sword? Can I see you shoot lightening? Can I go through the portal? Can I see your planet?" "Pearly, I told you to go to bed" Coral said. Pearly sighed "But I-". Razor kneeled down "I'm afraid I didn't get the sword back. Although if I ever do, I don't think a tired child would be able to go anywhere". Pearly smiled excitedly "Okay" she ran out to the tent, she turned back to Razor "I hope you get it back!" she rushed into her tent. Razor then looked around the motor home "Are these your chambers?" "Well, there Pearly's too but she keeps wanting to sleep outside" "She's a brave child". Coral then realised that the motor home was a mess with dirty dishes "Um, maybe we could go outside" "Yes, of course".


They now sat on the roof of the lab around a flaming grill "I come up here sometimes when I can't sleep or I'm trying to reconcile particle data". She laughed and looked to Razor "I'm really glad you're safe" "You've been very kind to me, and I've been far less grateful than you deserve" "Well, I hit you with my car a couple times, so I think that kind of evens things out". Razor chuckled "Perhaps I had it coming". Razor then remembered something and took out the notebook. He handed it to Coral who stared at it as if it were solid gold "Oh, Gaia! I don't believe it!" "It was all I could get back. I'm sorry it's not as much as I promised" "No, no, this is great! This is… I don't have to start from scratch now. Thank you". She keeps going through the pages reading it when she suddenly looked really sad. Razor could tell "What's wrong" "G.U.N's gonna do everything in their power to make sure this research never sees the light of day" "No. You must not give up. You must finish what you've started. Because you're right. Here, look". Razor opens the journal to a blank page and starts to sketch "Your ancestors called it magic, and you call it science. Well, where I come from, they're one in the same". Coral smiled and saw that he was drawing nine planets "What is that?" "My father explained it like this. In my world is an ancient tree. Its roots connect us to eight other worlds". Coral stared amazed "Tell me more" "Well, there's Mobius. Then there's Lost Hex which is where I'm from. Hot Crater…


Uma and the others were sitting around a fire. Ian was pacing and he saw Fleming eating "Our dearest friend banished, Scourge on the throne. Lost Hex on the brink of war, yet you've managed to consume food for a family of ten. Don't you care!?" "Are you questioning my loyalty!?". Uma stood up "Stop it! We all know what we have to do" "We must go and find Razor" Reynard said. Ian didn't look so confident "It's treason" "To hell with treason, it's suicide" Fleming added. "Razor would do the same for us" Uma said, Fleming looked around nervously "Shush, Armand might be watching". The doors suddenly opened, and a guard entered "Armand demands your presence" he left. The four of them stared at the door "We're doomed".


They were now in the Chaos Control dome standing in front of Armand "You would defy the commands of Scourge, our King, break every oath you have taken as warriors and commit treason to bring Razor back?". Uma nervously nodded "Yes" "Good". He strides away as they watch him confused "So you'll help us?" "I am bound by honour to our king. I cannot open the bridge to you" he left. Ian frowned "Complicated fellow, isn't he?" they then all realised Armand left his sword behind.


The next morning at the lab Razor brought two plates of breakfast over to Ellidy and Pearly sitting at a table "Thank you" they both said, "You're very welcome". The four of them sat around the table and ate with Ellidy clearly having a hangover. Razor then took a mug and examined it "May I have this?". Coral nodded "Sure" "Thank you. Please excuse me". Razor left the lab holding the mug. He walked down the street until he made it back to the diner where Izzy was sweeping outside "Excuse me, Isabela". Izzy turned around with a fright "Oh, my gosh". Razor handed her the mug "To replace the one I broke. Please forgive me for my behaviour". Izzy took the mug in surprise "Oh that's alright, thank you". Razor smiled "If I may, I'd like to come back here for more of your splendid coffee" "Anytime" "Wonderful". Razor left and Izzy stared at him "She could do worse".


The warriors landed in the desert. Reynard immediately walked away as the others composed themselves "He must have landed nearby. It's time to put our tracking skills to work. Spread out and check the sand for indentations of his feet" Fleming said. Ian shook his head "No, the winds would have blown them away by now. We should look for signs of a campfire". Uma then realised Reynard was heading to the town "The Mobians seem to have advanced".


At the base Rob entered the lab "Something happen?" "I don't know, sir. We've got massive energy readings out of nowhere and then just disappeared. Fifteen miles due northwest" "Let's go take a look".


The four entered the city, everyone was staring at them wondering why they were carrying weapons. Fleming saw a baseball roll out of an ally and under a car. A young squirrel ran out and tried to get the ball. Fleming ran over to her "Allow me". The squirrel watched amazed at him as he effortlessly lifted the car and picked up the ball. He put the car back down and handed the ball to the squirrel "There you go, lass". The squirrel smiled "Thank you" she ran back to her friends. Fleming laughed and went back to the others "Is it just me or does Mobius look a little different to you now?" "It has been 1000 years" "Changes happens so fast, I mean, you leave for a millennium and look at the state of the place". They keep going and two G.U.N agents see them from the roof of a building "Should we call this in?".


Scourge entered the weapons vault and stood in front of a grid wall. He hit his father's trident against the ground. The grid began to open and the Swatbot walked out "Ensure my brother does not return".


Razor was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen in the lab while Coral was talking to Ellidy and Pearly. Ellidy didn't look confident "But you won't be able to convince the scientific community of any of it. Not without hard evidence". They suddenly heard a knock at the door. Razor looked and saw his four friends grinning at him through the glass "Found you!" Fleming yelled. They waved at him, Coral and the others were staring at them with their mouths hanging open.
