This chapter is gonna be short, and I made you guys wait a long time for it. My apologies. -sigh- School starts today…I miss summer oh so much. So from now on, updates will most likely come on the weekends. Hopefully I'll update every weekend. On with the chapter…
Oh yeah, and this chapter is dedicated to Lady Pendragon, 'cause she's getting surgery today (Monday.)
The Saint could feel it; the male and the female were coming to Ibara soon. He could feel them coming closer, feel their plan becoming stronger. He could feel the footsteps approaching. But that was the reason that he had his plans prepared.
The Saint smiled. His plans were perfect. Now all he had to do was set up the traps, and the Travelers who wanted to destroy Ibara, his Ibara, would pay. Everything was going to work out perfectly.
Ibara would end up safe, and the tow Travelers would end up meeting their fates. The Saint chuckled. He felt them near once again. It was time to set out to work.

"Who should we go find first?" Emel asked. Patrick thought for a moment, Bobby did also.
"How about Alder?" Patrick said. "I don't think any of us have seen him for awhile, and he's also a Traveler."
"Yeah," agreed Bobby. "We'll have to fill him in on everything that's happened in in the last year or so."
"C'mon, lets go!" Emel said excitedly. "Can we stop for coffee on the way, Bobby?"
"No," Bobby replied, and they set off towards the flume. They arrived in the subway station a few minutes later, and opened the door to the flume.
"Denduron!" Bobby shouted, and was swept into the flume. Nothing seemed strange during the flume ride, and a few minutes later, the music died down and Bobby landed in the cave on Denduron. Next, Patrick appeared, and then was followed by Emel. "Well," Bobby said. "Let's go find Alder, shall we?" Everyone nodded, and they set off down the mountain.
Soon, they arrived in the city, and the group searched frantically for Alder. Soon, they found him assisting some of the other knights doing various tasks.
"Alder!" Bobby called. Alder turned his head, and waved. Quickly, he ran over to his friends.
"Bobby! Patrick! And…who's this?" Alder stared at the attractive girl with wide eyes.
"I'm Emel," Emel said with a sheepish smile.
"We have no time for introductions right now," Patrick said. "Bobby, explain."
"We need your help, Alder." Bobby said.
"I can help." Alder said. "But it must wait until tomorrow. I'm busy helping Kagan right now." Bobby nodded.
"We can wait," he said. "Lets meet up here tomorrow morning?"
"Sounds good to me," Alder said, and went back with his friends. Bobby, Patrick, and Emel walked to the house where Bobby had stayed with Loor and Osa on his first journey to Denduron, many years ago.
"So what should we do to kill time?" Emel asked.
"How about we put the story of last year into a journal like thing, so it explains to Alder without us having to tell him the whole thing?" Patrick suggested with a shrug of his shoulders.
"That's a good idea!" Bobby said. Emel agreed, so the night was spent writing journals of Bobby and his turning to the dark side.
As dawn broke, the group of four people broke to the flume and headed to Second Earth. It was almost time for the destruction of Ibara, and the erasing of Bobby's horrid memories.
"Second Earth!" Bobby called at the top of the mountain. The flume activated, and Bobby set off for Second Earth. When he landed, he was met by Spader, Saangi, Cid, and the rest of the girls. Emel had sent a note through Bobby's Traveler ring to everyone for them to meet at the flume. Bobby and Saangi embraced and kissed, and Patrick coughed intentionally for them to stop after about two minutes of watching the two kissing.
"Sorry," Bobby said as he broke apart from Saangi. They both blushed, and Bobby chatted with Spader for a bit while Patrick handed Alder the journals.
"Read this," he said to Alder. "It will fill you in on what the hell's been happening and why you need help." Alder nodded, and set to reading the journals. About an hour later, while Alder was still reading, the group went to the Ave for some Garden Poultry, and by then, about two hours had passed, and Alder was finished reading the journals.
"I can't believe you listened to an influence of Saint Dane, Bobby," Alder said. "That seems like something you would never do."
"I was messed up, Alder." Bobby said sadly. "All of my friends were dead, I had no other choices but to seek help in the first person that told me they would help me."
"I probably would've done the same thing, had I known what the hell you were doing, Pendragon." Spader said cheerily.
"I would've probably done that too," Emel said. "But everything about that is done." she said, now becoming serious. "Now we need to focus on what's happening here and now," she said. "We're going to destroy Ibara. We're going to place the S. Bomb in the center of Ibara, and before it blows up we're getting the hell out of there. Saint Dane has inhabited another body, so trust no one, not even people you know. Anyone could be Saint Dane, after all, he took over Bobby, didn't he?"
"Well, actually he took over Azarus--" chimed in Spader, but Emel cut him off by placing her hand over his mouth.
"Well, he had Bobby under his control at least. So everyone, be alert and DON'T TRUST ANYONE."
"I think we got it, Emel." Bobby said. Emel then pulled the small white box containing the S. Bomb out of her pocket.
"This is the S. Bomb. We're just taking it out yet, but it's capable of destroying Ibara, with bombs left to spare." Spader gasped loudly, and stared at the box.
"Wow, that's cool, mate." he said.
"Yes, I know that its cool, Spader," Emel said.
"How do you know my name?" Spader asked. "We weren't even properly introduced!"
"Bobby told me your names." Emel explained, and Spader nodded. "Now can we please continue on with the plan here, guys?" Everyone nodded, and Emel continued. "Now that we're free of interruptions, we're going to set this off tonight. It doesn't explode for twenty four hours, so it will set off tomorrow at midnight. Everyone understanding me? Anyone lost?" The table at Garden Poultry was silent, except for the chatter in the background of the other customers. "Good," Emel said. "Let's rest up then, and leave tonight."
The group picked up their drinks and headed back to Bobby's house, where everyone was joining them for dinner.

Tonight, the Saint thought. They're coming tonight. It was finally time. Time for him to get his revenge, and protect his territory. He would be a hero. His wife would be proud of him, and he would avenge the death of his parents, who were killed by the actions of Bobby Pendragon. But now he would get his revenge on the Lead Traveler, to his wife's dismay.
"Forget what your wife says," chimed in the voice from nowhere. "If you save Ibara in its entirety, then you will be a hero, and your wife will not be mad at you. If you patch things up with her, then Bobby Pendragon and his friend will destroy Ibara, and both of you will be dead. Do you really want that?"
"No," the Saint replied. "No I don't."
"Then prepare yourself to fight tonight."

As night broke, the Saint arrived at the flume. This is where they would be appearing any minute now. Suddenly, beautiful music filled the Saint's ears, and the flume lit up.
"It's them," the Saint whispered to the air. He silently pulled a dagger from the sheath on his belt. The Saint could barely see the blade in the darkness. He hoped he would be able to see his enemies as they arrived. Soon, the flume music died, and dark two figures appeared. "So you've finally come to destroy Ibara," the Saint said. "Good luck trying."
"What the hell?" the Saint heard Bobby Pendragon say. "It can't be…"
