There was an island, far away from Perim. It was isolated form the other islands. Those who could find it was by sheer luck. Maybe it might be the opposite of luck.

Those who reached this island, who thought to find salvation from the merciless sea, met with creatures that either captured them for the rest of their life or straight up executed them.

This island was one of the few where the sixth tribe lived. The Elementalist.

It was a large plain with a tall hill, far away from the beach. The beach was the only entrance as the island was elevated a bit in the air. The only way by sea for the creatures who couldn't fly. It made it a natural defensive spot with the slippery path that couldn't be climbed even if the creatures had long and sharp claws.

The creatures whose power and body came from the four elements of Perim: Fire, Earth, Water and Air.

The island of the Elementalist was the main island where the council resided with many elemental creatures living together.

None of them were aware that one of them, one member of the council had a plan. He had a plan to make the five other tribes paid for entering the Cothica and keeping contact with it. Another thing was revenge for one elementalist who betrayed his tribe, Tera Motus.

For a long time, he formulated the plan to make the creature suffer, but that plan was difficult to build with their current predicament.


Chapter 10: A Way For Revenge

The creature made of sapphire colored water wandered around the village, deep in its own thought. His purple eyes glanced around as the creature adjusted his red loincloth. His build seemed to boil a little from his anger. He ignored his surrounding, except for the creatures who were a little too close to him. He didn't want to bump into any of them. It was especially troublesome with a fire creature.

He tried to forget the scream of that washed up fire creature who wasn't ready to get wet. He pushed that aide and focused once again in his plan.

The first phase was to make one. Everything was against his plan. The numbers, the power of the other tribes and the support of his own tribe, which was none.

He crossed his arms. Once he was on his own and none of the Elementalist were near, he quietly spoke what was in his mind, "I need to find a way to get a human…I cannot get them in Perim. They are just codes, not the real humans. Not only that, I need a specific human to get. One of the best choices, but I have no idea."

He hummed as his liquid fingers crossed a bit without fusing together. He sighed as he stopped near a large tree. He rested his back against it, "I hate this situation. We have all the right to get a revenge."

He closed his eyes and glanced down. He had to find a way to make the creatures paid for their sins. Alas, there was nothing. He cursed himself as his mind spiraled around that part. He needed to focus and not think about spiralling his thought again and again.

He glanced at the top of the hill. He looked at the large temple. The structure couldn't be seen well from the distance. He knew what the purpose of the temple was.

He crossed his arms and thought. He had a small smirk, "I just have to deliberately break the laws. The creatures did it too," he decided. He had an idea how to get the human and made the creatures paid for their sins.

The water creature went towards the temple. He quickly formulated a plan to move the guards or be alone in the temple if it wouldn't work.

He reached the large stairs that lead to the bronze temple. He climbed them. They were a few citizens that wandered up or two the stairs for different purpose.

The water creature reached the top and panted a little. There were so many stairs just to reach the top that it was exhausting. At least, it wasn't worse one that their ancestors made.

"Good thing I don't have lungs or I wouldn't have lungs anymore about this," the elemental creature grumbled.

He walked at the entrance. He glanced at the creatures who stopped near it and put a small token. It was a small offering to the Cothica. The purposes of those offerings were lost through time, but his tribe still respected the Cothica. Something the other tribes didn't do.

He took out one token and put it in a small box as an offering. It was a token made of a metal that had no value and offering nothing in terms of battlegear. He ignored the few glances offered by the other creatures who recognised the member of the council he was.

He gave a short prayer that his plan might succeed. He was well aware the irony to ask the Cothica to offer one of its habitants against their will in their sacred land. Still, retaliation for the five tribes act was in order.

He approached the large door. Four guards stood in front of it, once of each element.

"Hello," the water guard said as he nodded at the member of the council, "What do we owe you your presence here?" he sounded a bit suspicious.

The creature knew full well where the suspicion came from. The other members of the council warned the guard to step up their game to protect what was inside the temple. If the creatures of the other tribe came here, they had to be ready to fight back. Especially after Tera Motus treason. The guards watched each other's and the gate at the same time for extra protection. He was also aware they knew he wanted revenge against the tribe and the purpose to go to the door.

As this few seconds' thought came to an end, his plan sudden had a small change that would make his short prayer seemed less… evil or bad. Still, it was something he couldn't tell anyone, "I came to make sure that the gate isn't damage through time. We didn't inspect it for a while."

The guards suspiciously gazed at him. The four looked at each other's before the fire creature sighed, "I am sorry, but no one can get in here without the other members of the council. You are the one who insisted that no exception should be made."

He cursed himself for making that decision after the entire mess they ended up with. He crossed his arms and replied, "Very well," he turned around and left.

He had a plan B. He needed to wait for a while and infiltrated discreetly. As a water creature, he had the advantage to get in here and to avoid detection. It took half a day, but the guards were about to switch and their concentration dropped a lot. He could sympathize with them getting tired and ended up talking with each other's way more.

He used that distraction to turn into a puddle and approached the door. He left his loincloth behind. He didn't go through the only entrance immediately. He went to the wall and climbed it up. He made sure to be above the creatures and out of their vision. Once he reached the door, he slipped through the cracks and went in there.

His body reformed at the other side of the entrance and went towards the back of the temple. He could barely see anything. It was dark and no source of light shined within it. He reached another door when he hid his face against it. He searched for a crack to enter in it.

He found it and went through it. He took a few steps in the room with a source of light that shined in the darkness. He raised his eyes and looked at the large structure. It was a gate, just like one that was hidden in Chaotic. This one was still functional, even if it wasn't use for a long time.

The light that came around it was pale blue.

He was still impressed by what their ancestors built long ago when the beings from the Cothica came to Perim long ago. He raised his hand, but stopped. He dropped it as he remembered his plan.

He approached the portal. He watched an ancient tablet with a crystal shard on it. He approached it and pressed a bit on it.

The portal opened up and a light shined in the middle of the gate.

The creature smirked. With the door to this room closed behind him, no one would notice the portal activated, unless someone tried the same as he did. He approached it, "Let's see if they will be cooperative with my… suggestion," he chose his words carefully.

He passed through the gate and reached the Earth, which Perim believed to be the Cothica.


Kaz and Tom sighed as they survived another day of class with those cultists still observing them. Thankfully. Khybon managed to force them to stand farther away by his mere presence. He also ignored the other students who questioned him about his life on Perim, as many of them weren't Chaotic Players.

The Underworlder was glad when the day came to an end and his charge returned home.

"I still got no news from my code self. I wonder who captured me," Kaz sighed after he checked his scanner. He put it back in his pocket after a minute. He gazed back, "And those weirdos are still watching us. I'm so sick of this cult."

"They are indeed annoying. I wish I could destroy them already and be done with this," the muscles inflated on the creature as he showed a bit of his anger. Just a punch would be enough. They were only humans.

"And why don't they really care about Khybon?" Tom asked as he glanced at them and the creature, "They showed up when the creatures came on Earth, but they don't seem to really care for Khybon. They weren't curious about him during the entire day."

"I'm right here you know," the muscular four arm creatures. He looked at the cult, "When you say it like that, it is worrisome for you two. They want something out of you and it cannot be any good at all," he looked at Kaz, "And you are sure you didn't do anything special, except for being our guide?"

"No. We did nothing special. Even then, why are they more interested in you Tom?"

"I don't know. Anyway, we should keep going. They really are on my nerves," Tom decided as he began to accelerate his pacing.

Kaz did the same thing. He just hoped that his code would be freed soon enough.


Peyton and Sarah watched the street together and noticed a few of those weird people watching them.

"It sucks the police can't do anything about then!" Sarah grunted as she crossed her arms.

Peyton played a bit with his guitar, "We just need to stay chill and find a way to get over it."

"I can't stay chill when there is nothing that stopping them from doing anything worse!" she grunted back.

What they learned from the Codemaster didn't help in the matter at all. She sighed and rested her back against the wall, "Did you remember anything yet about this Titanium?"

"No," he glanced at his scanner, "Nothing at all. I just know he might try something in Perim," he turned back at her.

The orange scanner suddenly booted up for a second on its own, before it closed once again.


Someone chuckled loudly as he read the report. He adjusted his red cloak. He gazed at his council.

"We finally made some progress! It is only a matter of days before we will invite our friend here! Our next phase is slowly approaching!" the creature declared.

"Yes, king Titanium. Still, would it be wiser to wait for a bit longer than getting the coordinates only?" one member of his council asked.

"We waited for so long," Titanium replied as he gazed at his council, "I know our time has come. The moment we have enough information, we will move on. This is my order."

"Yes, my king!" the member of the council nodded as they put their hand on their chest. It caused a loud metallic sound to echoed in the throne room.


AC: This is the end of this chapter.

Next: Visiting the Danians.

Sarah visited the Danians for a scan quest and took some news from Wamma.
