"Timmy, are we set to go?" Riven asked anxiously. Timmy was messing with a small hand held device.

"Almost… I just have to fix this one last thing…Done!" The six heroes filed onto the ship. Timmy went to the main control panel while the others got set for take off. It was late at night and the boys were sneaking off to go to the Rodeo Realm and they needed to get going soon or they would get caught.

"Timmy what is that thing?" Brandon asked. "It's an outer-realm transporter Tecna and I invented. I just set it so it will transport was straight to the Rodeo Realm." In a few minutes, the ship was set to go. Timmy flipped a few switches, hit a few buttons and they were off. In moments, they had blasted into the Rodeo Realm. Helia carefully maneuvered the ship so they landed silently on the ground a good way away from the town. Then he lowered the hatch and all six boys marched out. "O.K.," Timmy whispered as they walked. "I've got a lock on the place the girls are supposed to be."

"What do you mean supposed to be?" Nabu asked.

"I mean exactly that. Miss Faragonda put a spell on the girls so they can't be tracked. I have no way of knowing where they are, only where they should be."

" Well, this complicates things," Sky observed. They walked for a good ten minutes before they saw the town. Timmy looked down at the map of the realm he had with a yellow square highlited.

"The girls are staying in a place owned by the director of the show and his six sons. According to my virtual map, this place sticks out like a sore thumb. It shouldn't be to hard to find." Finally they found the two-story building. The peered in the front glass doors and saw at least ten armed guards. They ran around the back of the building to regroup.

"O.K. we're clearly need a new plan," Sky said.

"Well, my map says there are six empty rooms over to the left here," Timmy said pointing over to the girl's room.

"That sounds promising," Riven said, getting up. He went over to the first window and tapped lightly on it. "Musa? Bloom? Anyone?" The other boys started doing the same with the other windows. No answer for any. Finally, Sky whipped out his boomerang and pried a window open. The others gathered around while Sky whispered the girls' names through the half-open window. They waited for five minutes with still no answer. One by one the climbed in and looked around. The room was totally empty. The boys fanned out and found no sign that any of the girls had even been in there. Or that anyone had been in there for that matter. Sky stayed behind while the other boys went around to the other rooms and searched. Luckily, there were no guards posted at any of the rooms or anywhere in the whole hall. They all came back after a few minutes with no luck. And one by one they all pilled out of the window again. "Now what!" Riven said loudly.

"Riven, keep your voice down!" Nabu whispered.

"Yeah, you'll get us caught!" Sky said.

"I don't care at this point!" Riven retorted. "I need to know Musa's safe! We need to find her!"

"We need to find all of them!" Helia said heatedly.

"O.K., O.K.! Everyone needs to keep it together and cool off!" Timmy whispered. "Here's the plan. Riven, you and Nabu will go and scope out the outskirts of town and see what you can find. Sky and Brandon will go into town and search but be careful. Helia and I will head back to the ship to see if we can track the girls down while we search from the skies. Got it?" The others nodded and headed off to their posts.

An hour passed before they spotted anything. Finally, using the ship's telescopic vision, Helia spotted Stella riding a horse with another boy. Timmy radioed the others and they met up right outside the town. Now they were all in the ship riding to meet Stella and the boy. Brandon was fuming, ready to fight. After what seemed like forever for Brandon they touched down right in front of the horse. It's eyes widened and it bucked, throwing both Stella and Cody to the ground. Before the hatch door was even open all the way, Brandon was sprinting down the ramp. "Stella!" He hollered running up to help her.

But Cody beat him to it. "Are you O.K., Amber?" Cody asked, picking Stella up.

"Ye-Yeah. I think so…" Brandon drew his green power sword and got into a fighting stance.

"Let her go!" Brandon growled. "Now!" Cody and Stella looked at each other, then back at Brandon. The other boys had joined Brandon now and were trying to get him to lower his weapon. Cody stepped protectively in front of Stella and walked closer to Brandon.

"Can I help you with something?" he asked cockily. "Yeah. You can let my girlfriend go now and maybe I'll let you walk out of here with your head!"

Cody chuckled and turned to Stella. "Do you know him, Amber?"

She stepped closer timidly, eyeing Brandon."I…I don't think so…"

Brandon almost dropped his weapon. "W-What are you talking about, Stella? Of Course you know me!"

"No…No I- Why did you call me Stella?"

"Because that's your name! C'mon Stel, it's me!" Stella stepped closer to Brandon and looked deep into his brown eyes.

"I think I know you…Yes! I do You're-" Cody cut her off, grabbing her arm and pulling her to look him in the eyes.

"You don't know him! You don't!"

Stella's eyes misted over. "You're right Cody." she said in a monologue voice. "Take me home please."

"That's right." Cody sneered. He turned her in a random direction and gave her a little shove. She started to stumble forward and wouldn't respond to Brandon when he called he name. Cody laughed loudly at the dumbfounded look on Brandon's face. "She's mine now." he said softly. "Stella isn't there anymore. And there's not a single thing you can do!" He started to laugh again and Brandon raised his sword high, bringing it down with a swish. Cody moved swiftly to the left, dodging his attack. He pulled out a sword of his own that he had kept concealed and the two boys started to fight.

The other heroes started forward to help but Brandon hollered, "No! Go get Stella and find the others! Come back for me when they're safe!" The boys reluctantly obeyed. Riven ran off and pulled Stella onto the ship and they took off.
