A/N: I hate school. What kind of teachers give homework on the first day of classes? Satanic teachers at a Catholic school, obviously. One more freakin year and then high school. HELL YEAH! Oh well…let's get on with the chapter. Take note that this chapter is going to start a little earlier than the last chapter ended, because this chapter is in Bobby's POV.

"Okay, guys," began Bobby. The group was gathered around the flume in the Sherwood house. "If we don't come back here in twenty minutes time, that's your cue to come to Ibara. If we do come back, then we've been successful and we just need to find Saint Dane. Understand?" Everybody nodded, and Bobby turned to Emel. "Ready?" he asked. The girl nodded, and they stepped up to the flume. "Ibara!" shouted Bobby. The magical music began, and he was swept off his feet and into the crystal tunnel. As he came closer to Ibara, a dark silhouette entered his vision. When he was only a few feet away, he noticed that the shadow was wearing a black cloak.

So Saint Dane has taken the form of a Saint again, thought Bobby. This should be easy, then. Bobby came closer, and the flume ride suddenly ended. The Saint could be seen clearly now. He had spiky black hair, and his head was down.

"So you've finally come to destroy Ibara," the mysterious Saint said, in a too familiar voice. Emel arrived behind Bobby, and the Saint finished his sentence. "Good luck trying." The Saint raised his head as his lips closed, revealing an all too familiar face with a new haircut.

"What the hell?" Bobby shouted. "I don't believe this…Raux?"

"Damn right, Pendragon," Raux replied coolly. "I will never let you destroy Ibara!" Raux then whipped a knife out of a sheath on his belt, and lunged for Bobby. Bobby reacted by pulling a concealed knife out of his boot and threw it towards the blade of Raux's knife. The blades collided, and Raux's knife flew out of his hand while Bobby's landed with a clang on the cement.

Emel," Bobby hissed over to his assistant. "Hurry, go and plant the S. Bomb," Bobby said hurriedly to Emel, and quickly picked up his knife again. Emel scurried off, and Bobby faced Raux, his knife pointed towards Raux's startled face.

"Why the hell do you want to destroy this place?" Raux asked, as the two men began to circle around themselves.

"The memories, Raux, the memories," Bobby began to explain. "I've had nightmares about Saint Dane controlling me for months. You wouldn't know, but I'm sure you can imagine what its like to have Saint Dane inside you."

"Oh, I can imagine, Pendragon," Raux snarled a harsh voice that was not something he would speak in. Raux suddenly lunged again, bringing the cold blade of his knife to Bobby's neck. He moved his arm a bit, creating a small cut on Bobby's neck. Blood trickled down his neck and onto the blade.

At that moment, Bobby reacted to this by grabbing onto Raux's arm.

"I don't want to hurt you, Raux, but if I have to, I most certainly will. The S. Bomb is going to explode twenty-four hours from now. Find some way to stop it. Bobby whipped away from Raux, and headed towards the flume.

"Oh no you don't, Pendragon." Raux snarled. He lunged for Bobby again, but Bobby dodged the attack easily. Bobby quickly snuck up behind Raux, and stabbed him in the back. Raux screamed, and Bobby left the knife in Raux's back.

"Second Earth!" he yelled, and the flume activated.

"I will get you, Pendragon!" Raux screamed, Bobby gave him the finger and a smile, and the flume turned a corner and Raux disappeared from sight.

"Emel," Bobby turned, and hissed. She turned her head, and stared at the man who had called her name. "Hurry, go and plant the S. Bomb!" Emel nodded, and began to run away as the two men began to duel with knives.

Breaking into a steady pace, Emel ran down the cliff and into the city. She quickly found the center of the town, and pulled the white box out from inside her coat. Emel opened the box, pulling out a white sphere. A small hologram appeared of a female face.

"Hello, Miss Emel P--" began the hologram in a robotic female voice, but it was quickly cut off by Emel.

"No time for chitchat," Emel said to the holograph. "I need to set this bomb to go off exactly twenty-four hours from midnight tonight."

"Understood," the woman said. With that, the holograph disappeared and 24:00 appeared in red letters in the center of the sphere. Emel set the sphere on the ground, and the countdown to explosion began.

The sphere suddenly morphed, and blended into the ground. Knowing Third Earth, Emel knew that this bomb could not be stepped on. She smiled to herself, and headed back down towards the flume.

"You're not going anywhere, Miss Emel," came a voice from behind Emel that she recognized as that of Raux. Raux appeared behind Emel, and grabbed her arms. "Pendragon left you here, sweetie. So come with me. If he wants to blow up Ibara, he'll get blown up with it!" Raux grabbed onto Emel's arms and forced them behind her back. (No, he is not going to rape her. This is a T rated fic, people!) Raux took a rope and tied it around her hands, and tying it tightly, making the rope cut Emel's arm. Next, Raux poured a foul liquid into Emel's mouth and gagged her. Emel screamed a soundless scream, and she suddenly became sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

When she opened her eyes, Emel was lying on the cold stone floor of a small hut. Her finger, she noticed, felt significantly lighter. Her fingers crept across each other, and Emel noticed that her Traveler ring had been stolen.

A small wooden table was in the center of the room, with one wooden chair to accompany it, which happened to be occupied at the moment, by none other than Raux. He seemed to be writing something. Emel then noticed a small flash of light, and saw her ring sitting on the table.

He must be writing a note to Bobby, Emel thought. Then, another thought entered her mind. Shit…how much time has passed? For all I know, it could be 11:59 right now and I could die in one minute.

"So you're awake," Raux said, not looking up at her. "Don't worry, only about an hour has passed. Pendragon still has time to come and save you, so don't worry about that. When he comes is not my problem." Raux snickered.

Emel rolled her eyes. Hopefully Bobby would save her…

The phone rang, waking up Bobby Pendragon from a nice slumber.

"Hello?" he said drearily.

"Pendragon? This is Spader," came the reply from the other end. "Do you know if Emel ever came back last night?"

"I dunno, Spader…why do you ask?"

"Well 'cause we've all got notes from our rings. Ransom notes. For Emel."

"Hold on a minute, Spader." Bobby rose from his bed, and on his dresser where he placed his ring at night, was his ring, was a piece of flame paper. Bobby touched it, and it set into flames on his hand.

Pendragon, Raux's voice filled his head. I'm keeping Emel here captive. So if you want to see her again, come on back to Ibara before it blows up. Looks like you've set yourself up for a disaster, huh? Raux began to laugh, and the flames disappeared.

"Damn," Bobby said, and returned to the phone. "Spader?" he said. Spader replied, and Bobby continued. "We're gonna have to rescue Emel. I should've known that something like this would happen. Meet up at the flume at nine tonight."

The time came, and the group gathered at the flume. "Let's go, guys. We have until 11:50. Hopefully, this won't take long and we'll get right out of there and…kill Raux, if we have to. Then, if everything goes right and Ibara is destroyed, hopefully Saint Dane will be as well. But if he's not, we're gonna search tomorrow. Is everyone ready?" the group of Travelers nodded, and headed into the flume. "Ibara!" they called, and it began.

As they arrived, Raux was there to greet them.

"So you've come a bit early," Raux said. "Well, that's ok. More time to laugh at your dead bodies."

"What caused you to do this?" Spader yelled. "Why are you evil now? We were friends! You helped us defeat Saint Dane!"

"A voice tipped me off about you wanting to destroy Ibara. And I just can't let my home territory be destroyed."

"A voice?"

"This voice," Raux said, in a voice that certainly was not his. A voice like heaven. "The voice of your favorite Traveler and Saint." With that, Raux began to transform. His hair stayed the same, but his face changed. His eyes turned into a cold blue abyss, and his body changed from the black cloak into a grey suit. "Miss me, Pendragon?" he said. "I just love using my heavenly voice. It's something I've been wanting to do for years."

"Dane," breathed Bobby.

Sorry that took so long to update. School is horrible. I'm sad…oh well. I've lost some reviewers! AHHH. Oh well. Hopefully they'll review again soon. Thanks to Lady Pendragon, believer07747, and Uchiha James for reviewing!
