"Dragon Booster?" The words sound dubious but that isn't her intention. Artha nodded, exchanging glances with his three friends.

"Have you heard of that before, Hera?" Jay asked, crossing his arms as he sat on the lounge next to Theresa. "They say they're from a place called Dragon City," he added, draping his arm across the lounge behind Theresa's shoulders. Archie and Herry looked at each other and smirked when Artha shot Jay a dirty look that Jay failed to notice. Hera shook her head in answer to Jay's question, clasping her hands together.

"We are from Dragon City," Artha retorted.

Hera held out a hand to silence them. "How did you get here?" she asked.

"Mortis – the dragon priest – told us of a device that could let the user control nearby dragons. He told us Moordryd was going after it. We followed him, and, and I fell. Kitt followed Moordryd while Parm and Lance helped me."

"I tried to stop him but he reached the goblet thing in time," Kitt added, biting her bottom lip.

"And then this black hole appeared on the ground and we started falling," Lance said, acting it out with his hands. Parm and Kitt rolled their eyes.

"And, well, you know what happened next," Artha said sheepishly, glancing at Jay's bandaged ankle.

"Yes." Jay said dryly. "Thanks for that." Artha smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head.

"A device that lets the user control nearby dragons?" Hera asked. Artha nodded.

"Have you heard of something like that?" Jay asked, sitting up straighter.

"There's a legend of a goddess whom needed a device to control nearby creatures, harnessing the powers of several Greek gods- with their consent of course. But she realised the device was too powerful when a god stole the device to take over from Zeus. So she altered the device so if the user had bad intentions or a bad heart, the user, nearby humans and the device would be transported to another dimension." Hera answered.

"So the device is here somewhere?" Theresa asked. Hera shook her head.

"It was designed so the device would be transported to a separate location than the user."

"So you guys were transported here, this Moordryd guy is somewhere else and the device is somewhere else again?" Atlanta asked, glancing at Jay. "Does the device work here?"

"The device works everywhere. Different civilisations have different legends surrounding it. It was said the creator was lost in another dimension, with the device lost with her."

"So the creator is in Dragon City!" Artha said. "So we can just ask her how to get back!" Everyone rolled their eyes and groaned. "What?"

"It's another dimension, Artha." Parm said. "We can't communicate with another dimension."

"Even I figured that out." Lance said with Artha, who responded by poking his tongue out.

"I could try and develop something that could enable us to communicate through dimensions, but it could take a while." Odie mused, frowning as he pulled out his computer. The group looked up as Hermes ran into the room, muttering something as he nearly crashed into Hera. "Hermes." Odie said, frowning as Hermes started fidgeting with his hands.

"What's wrong, Hermes?" Jay asked, standing and wincing at his ankle. Hermes tried to slow his breathing down.

"Cronus." Hermes panted. The group stood immediately.

"What about Cronus?" Jay asked. "Hermes, what about Cronus?"

"Cronus has a new machine." Hermes answered. "A machine that picks up the locations of objects of the gods. Objects that could help him take over the world and destroy you and the gods." Jay and the group exchanged glances.

"The machine must pick up on the frequencies the objects used to transport between dimensions." Odie said. "Trace it back to the location."

"Wait, this device thing that dude's after. It'll have its own frequency too, won't it?" Archie asked. Odie nodded, not looking up from his computer.

"And because the device was recently transported between dimensions, the frequencies will be more obvious, there being a higher chance of the machine picking up the frequencies." Odie replied.

"Wait, this sounds just like Hermes's caduceus." Theresa, glancing at Hermes. "Is it similar?" Hermes nodded.

"This device is much more powerful." Hera replied. "You have to find the device before Cronus, and bring it back here." Jay nodded.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Artha said, Parm, Kitt and Lance scrambling to follow him as he stepped in front of the group. "What about us? You're just going to leave us here?" Artha crossed his arms angrily.

"No," Hera said with a slight smile. "You'll be going with them."

Jay and the group gaped at Hera's order and began to protest over the others' voices, but Hera held up a hand to stop. "With this device, Artha and his friends will have the power to return to their own dimension."

"Any ideas on how to find it?" Archie asked with a little sulk, sitting on the armchair of the lounge again.

"Cronus's machine," Odie said. "If we find it, or try and recreate it so we can use it to find the device."

"How long do you think it'll take to recreate it?" Jay asked, standing next to Odie as he sat on the lounge again. Odie shrugged.

"Professor here can help." Kitt said, jerking her head in Parm's direction. "He knows all that stuff." Parm glared at Kitt, who smiled teasingly at him in return.

"You two start working on a recreation of the machine and we'll try and find where Cronus is," Jay instructed. "We'll go to the library," he said, and with a little help from Theresa, the two of them led the way to the library, with only Odie and Parm left in the room, Odie still huddled over his computer.

"So what do you know about frequency receivers and transmitters?" Odie asked, watching Parm out of the corner of his eye as Parm inched closer to where Odie sat on the lounge. Finally he gave in and walked over, sitting next to Odie.

"First of all," he said. "That," he pointed to a part of the blueprint Odie had brought up on the screen. "Should be over here." He gestured to another part of the blueprint, earning himself an impressed glance from Odie.

"They call you Professor?" Odie asked.
