Veego came into her room and said, "Challenger purple, I thought that you would prove yourself to me... Now look at this, you have already lost a challenge! The next thing yoe know, you'll be in our dungeon room, or worse dead." She smiled a cold smile at Gemma and left saying, "Dinner will be served soon." With that Veego left the room.

"A giant robotics company. It's been affecting Third Earth too, though only mildly. It's First and Second Earths we need to worry about. Right now, DADO is a small company, using revolutionary technology. However, if it were to get any bigger..."

When Veego left a huge Dado came into her room and dragged her to the dinner table. All of the challengers sat there and waited for the food to be served. When it was served everyone scarfed it daown, except for Gemma. "Do you not like our food Challenger puprle?" Asked Laberge. "Yes, but I'm not hungry right now." She smiled a little and tried to get up, but the Dado pushed her back down. Wow security is tight after you loose she thought. Then when she had eaten her food the dado pulled her up and put her into her room, it was like she was prisoner. When they closed and locked the door, she called for 18 and said, "Send this note to Jake from third Earth."
The note read, I didn't pass a challenge, I might need some help soon, or the dado's might just kill me. She frowned, and gave the note to 18.

"All hell would break lose." Jade said finishing her sentence. "We have to bring this company down and fast." Jade said trying to be calm about it.

"Yeah, or it might be the turning point for all three territorys."
Suddenly Jake's ring lit up. After the usual light show, a purple peice of parchment came through.
"'I didn't pass a challenge,'" Lily read. "Gemma needs help too."

((Wow guys! I'm really happy. It seems like you guys like the idea. I enjoy reading your stories. Oh, and I think my character is already going to know about the whole Traveler thing. It's easier that way. For me at least. I'm lazy! xp ))
Izzy sprinted off the dock and into the blue Coral water. She was a strong swimmer, as were all the Aquaneers. In her earlier years, before joining the Aquaneers and following in her mother's footsteps, she spent nearly all of her time in the water.
Swiming swiftly and silently, Izzy grinned as she jumped onto a skimmer. "I think I'll just borrow this..."she said grinning wickedly. Pulling the throttle, she zoomed out of there.
Glanceing at her Traveler's ring glinting in the sunlight, she turned the skimmer and headed toward the underwater flume a man called Press had shown her two years ago. She needed to confirm that the cave was still there.

Jade looked down to the floor, thinking about all that was happening. Gemma needed help also, but unfortunatly Jade couldn't be in two places at once. She sighed and looked back up.
"We need to get Gemma out of there before she gets hurt...or worse. Once we get her she can help us with our problem, and then we can help her with her's. We have to hurry though, I don't want anything else bad to happen back here while we're gone." Jade told Lily calmly.
But Jade wasn't calm, she was as nervous as all get out. Her own territory was in danger, and the last thing she wanted to do was leave it to go and help someone else. But she knew if anything happened to Gemma she wouldn't be able to forgive herself. So this was the best plan she could come up with.

After several minutes, Izzy reached the location of the underwater cave. Turning off the Skimmer, she dove into the water. Treading water for a second she placed an air globe over her head.
Diving down, she swam under the submerged rock formation to the opening marked with as star. Surfacing, she found the cave just the same as she had left it.
"Geez. Nothing exciting ever happens around here. When do I get a piece of the action?" Sighing, Izzy had nothing better to do on her day off, so, climbing out of the water, she sat crosslegged on the edge of the pool.
Looking up into the flume she remember visiting Zadaa and Eelong. She wasn't fortunate enough to see the other territories, and it was so long ago she doubted she even remembered all the names.
Sighing heavely, she reached up to grab a watermelon like fruit of the vines clinging to the wall. "Great. And now I'm eating because I'm bored..."

She sat in her room waiting. Then 18 came in and said in his odd robot voice, "Someone will be at the flume soon, do you want me to put clothes there?"
She looked at it and said, "Yes, put in challengere clothes so they come directly here, but no loops!"
18 went away, that's when he said, "And you have an even in an hour." he said.

Lily smiled. She couldn't begin to understand what was going through Jade's mind, but her cool demenor gave her confidence. To Jake, she said, "We'll need more clothes down at the flume. Do you have any? We can bring them when we go down."
Jake nodded. "I'll borrow some from my sister's closet and meet you there." He dashed off, leaving the travelers alone.
"Let's head down to the flume."

Jade nodded and followed Lily there. The way down there Jade thought about how they were going to get Gemma out. Jade had only been to a few of the territories. Third Earth, First Earth, and Second Earth. As you can see, not much difference there. This was going to be a totally different experience.

Ilandere frowned and put her crossbow back in its sling. She began walking past the man and around the corner.
“Where are you going?” he called after her.
“Excuse me sir but I have a job to do, so if you’ll excuse me I’m going to finish my shift and go home. I didn’t believe this rubbish eight moons ago, I’m not going to believe it now.”
Ilandere continued walking and the man followed behind.
“So that’s what happened.” He said, “JinRah told you that you were a traveler, didn’t he?”
“Yes.” Ilandere said coldly.
“He’s not lying.” The man continued, “You see, I’m Press and I’m a traveler. All those stories JinRah told you are real. The stories about the other Territories, about the flume, everything. They are all real.”
“Mr. Press, you are not going to persuade me. I suggest you leave.”
“If you will let me prove it to you, I think you will like being a traveler. I know JinRah did.”
This comment made Ilandere stop dead in her tracks. She sighed.
“Alright,” she said quietly, “If you follow me, I’ll give you a map to my living quarters.”
“No need,” Press said, “JinRah’s acolyte has already given me the information.”
“Very well then. I will meet you there when my shift is over.” Ilandere walked away, leaving Press alone in the cold tunnel.

It didn’t take long for Ilandere to finish her shift. She checked out and returned to her home in Kidik. Press was waiting by her doorway, fiddling with a ring on his finger.
“You have something to prove, Mr. Press.”
“That I do. But, it will have to wait till morning. In the meantime, be preparing for departure. Tomorrow we will leave for another territory called Cloral, I want you to meet the traveler there. But first I want you to think about someone you truly trust; they will be your acolyte. And, you need to wear this.” He said thrusting two rings with grey stones at her.
“It was JinRah’s traveler’s ring. It’s yours now. The other one will be for your Acolyte. Get some rest. I will be back in the morning.”
Ilandere nodded and went inside. She suddenly felt very tired and fell asleep.

"Ready?" Lily asked as they stood before the flume. Jade nodded. "Alright. Quillian!" The flume opened.
