My head hurt. Somehow or other, the flume had thrown me against the wall. I fingered a thin line where the crystal had cut my scalp.

Bobby notice. "You're hurt, Jacob?"

"Yeah," I grunted. "I'll live."

Suddnely his ring vibrated. We all knew what that meant.

A note appeared. Bobby scooped it up and read alound.

"Bobby,
Saint Dane is on Second Earth! It's total chaos. You have to get over her now."
Mark and Courtney

"Oh, no," he moaned. "And I can't go back..."

Senna put a hand around his shoulder. "It's ok, Bobby. Your friends will be all right."

"I guess... Man, I wish my uncle was here."

"Press?" I asked.

"Yeah. He died here on Cloral."

"Oh. I heard a lot about him. Heck, I met him once. He was amazing; it's a loss to all the territories."

Everyone nodded.

Suddnly my ring was vibing!

I pulled it off, and, sure enough, it was a note.

"Jake,
Denduron is in trouble. You must come back!"
Barnes

"Da-- wait. This insn't Barnes' handwriting. It's a fake. Saint Dane is trying to set me up!"

A horrified gasp went up. Everyone began to wonder: Will I be next? Will I buy it?

"Saint Dane," growled Bobby. "He could be behind the flume too."

"No way. He's a traveler like us. He can't have that much power."

"You haven't seen him! He can change shape and make you believe anything!"

"Oh yeah? Well, I saw right through this." I held up the note. "Is yours fake, Pendragon? Go on; read it again!"

"I cant say. Its typed onto the paper." replied Bobby
"Huh?" Lee and Jacob asked
"don't ask its hard to explain" replied Bobby.
"Maybe he is getting more power. Enough to control the flumes. He might even send us to a void or something or seperate us" said Lee shivering at the thought of it.


**Sorry its short. I am sleepy. Good night guys and girls.**

"Argg... If Saint Dane was on Earth, would they have time to get at a computer?" The foreign word flowed easily; Travelers know all languages.

"I don't know!" Bobby paced and swore. "I don't know anything, and I hate it. I want to wring S.D.'s neck."

"Me too," I muttered. "A quig would be nice too."

"Wish granted," Senna griped. "Here comes a whopper."

*Senna isn't a very nice person, yet, by the way , and I have no clue what you are talking about Kyte, but I"ll see what I can dish up.*

Senna listened to all of this, was Spindal ok. SD wouldn't hurt him, he wouldn't know where he was, did he. NO, she thought, no he wouldnt' know. Spindal had been with her the whole time she had been a traveler, and even though he was younger then her, he had always been with her. She wanted to ring SD's kneck, and if they got ahold of him and the others couldn't do it she would. She could care less what happened to him.


*Tis short, I don't know what you mean by a whopper *

Arreanda

"I hate this flume" Arreanda muttered while climbing over crates "Why can't we have something easy, like the earth territories?" after a few minutes of wandering, she had found the flume. "Thank god, finally!"
"Cloral!" she shouted. Arreanda then heard the jumble of notes and was pulled into the flume. (Cuz' I feel lazy, I'm not going to write the fulme paragraph, because we've all read it a million times.)
When the notes became louder, one word crossed Arreanda's mind Water. She hit it with a loud splash, soaking everybody even more, if that was possible. "Sorry!" She chocked out, noticeing how serious everyone seemed she shut up, swimming toward the rock with all the Cloral clothing. Before even touching the clothing, she took a piece of dark green fruit from a vine, broke it and took a bite, "Mmm... I love this territory... So, what's up!? Or should I ask, how bad?"

**neither do i. Please explain. I cant remember.**

We all agree that the flume doesn't work, right? Most of the Travelers have landed on Cloral. We are all worrying because Jacob got a false not from Denduron.

The quig was coming! I hit the "Panic" stud. This was insane.

"Hobey-ho! Grab on," said a cheerful voice.

"Spader?" I asked.

"Who else?"

I grabbed his wrist, and we shot out onto dry-and relatively safe-land. I was gasping from shock.

"Oh, that was worse than the Arena!" I said between gasps.

"Hoo boy, you're a raw one."

"Yeah. I learned a little from Press, but he handled the quigs."

Spader winced at the name "Press." I could tell I'd hit a raw nerve.

"I'm sorry. But where is everyone?"

"Hoo boy," Spader said again. "Hey, Pendragon? Senna?"

The words echoed mockingly off the walls. The other Travelers were officially gone.

I was about to panic again when my ring vibrated.

"What the--"

It was an envelope singed "Mark Dimond."

"Oh no. It's from Bobby's acolyte!"

"Oh, hobey," cursed Spader. "We're dead if the rings stop working."

"Do you have yours?"

"Do I look like a careless person to you?"

"You do," I said in a lame excuse at a joke.

"Hey, I got it! Hala!"

I'm confused. What territory are we on? Arn't we in the flume on cloral?

((I'm just as lost as you are))

**yeah me too. From now on when we are posting we better type in the name of our characters and the territory we are in first then type the post.**

Lee
Territory not known yet.



Lee looked around. The last thing he remembered was the flume coming to life and pulling him inside. All was dark around him.
"anyone here?" Lee asked
"I'm here" replied someone a girl by here voice, probably Senna's
"So am i" said another voice i could not recognize.
"Lets go thought this again. I'm Lee and I'm from Cloral. How about you?" Lee said
"Senna, Veelox" replied Senna
"Arreanda, Quillen where the hell am i?" Came the other voice
"Yuck i hate Quillen. I dont know where we are. The first thing we need to do is get some light." Lee said
"No need for that walk to the far left." said floating head
"You are......... Aja??" I asked astonished
"get going" commanded the head
"In the flesh..... or holograph" i muttered
We walked left and suddenly found our selves in another place.
"I wont bother to ask how we got here" Lee said knowing Veelox's technology."i guess your back home now Senna"

**The other posters better think of something soon.**

**Everything else is not thrown out of the window. It still happened**

Senna
Veelox

Senna nodded, "Yes, we're in Veelox." SHe looked around, "I didn't bring us here though."

"Don't worry about that, at least we know where we are." Lee said, Senna nodded, Spindel walked over and smiled,

"You got back quick." She nodded and he come over and stood by her smiling his hello to the others.

Arreanda
Veelox

"Wow, I mean, wow. Flume rides always make me a bit dizzy, but with that many other people, wow." Arreanda drunkenly said.
Sanna started laughing at Arreanda "Who gets, dizzy, in, the, the flume?!" she managed to laugh out.
"I do, unless you have a problem with that!" Arreanda spat back, finally regaining her senses. "And what's wrong with Quillan?!" She snapped at Lee, getting testy.


*Yes, I know Arreanda is a total mental case, but I thought we needed someone who would lighten up the mood a bit, or screw everything up occasionaly, I'm good at those charcters, but nobody likes them...

Lee
Veelox



"Well you people kill others just for games is for starters. I could go on for years but i wont." snapped Lee
"Lets get going. we need to find the others and how we were sucked into the flume" said Senna
"Is there another flume somewhere in Veelox?" Lee asked
"I don't know i have to ask Aja" replied Senna
"Why?" asked Arreanda "Its no use right?"
"There may be a possibility that some of the flumes are still not controlled by Saint Dain. So if i am right there's one other flume on every territory. There might be a chance that Saint Dain still has not got control o them. But we still wont be able to get to Denduron." explained Lee
"huh?" said Senna
"Lets just get to the other flume" Lee said and walked to the left of the hall.
