## Summary

### Day 35: Saturday (August 27, 2033)

Mikey enters the basement and slashes all the poxians inside. The rest of the group runs to the door to the book. Chloe tells him to open it as he grabs the doorknob and pushes both the doors open. They were all amazed at the designs in the room. It looked like a castle's throne room and the temperature also sort of decreased in there. It felt like as if they just entered a house with the air conditioner blasting the whole day.

Suddenly they stumbled upon an omite as the omite attempts to run into them. They all dodge, but the dragon quickly turned around and blasts fire balls at Mikey. Mikey dodges, but falls on the ground. Chloe spots the book and shouted at Mikey to get it while they distract the omite. The omite began blasting more fire balls toward Mikey, but at the same time at George. George deflects it, but the other fire ball was heading straight for Mikey as they all shout his name.

### Day 36: Sunday (August 28, 2033)

Jun's team split up, but Coen was upset about Jun. Jun ends up finding a guarded door and hid behind the wall. He walks through the hallways and back to the entrance and screams as loud as possible like he was in danger. They manage to hear him and sprints back. They asked what was wrong as Jun says he found the door. The team runs back to the guarded door. Jun slashes all the guard's head off and kicks down the door. The cold wind breeze gushes out of the room.

The go inside to spot the omite in the air with some poxians in the room. Coen points at the poxians, asking what they are. Jun answered it is a poxian and to just go over there and kill them. He does it so easily, but the omite began roaring in the air as it flies to the squad. They dodges, but Coen manages to stab its eye. While Coen was doing so, it blasts fire balls toward Jun. Jun deflects it toward the omite as it gets wounded and falls onto the ground causing the floors of the castle to break. It also creates a huge shockwave causing the grounds to shake very hard. Moments later, the shaking wouldn't stop, so Jun assumed it was a quake and dashes to the book, grabbing it. They all start running out of the castle and through the huge opening in the wall that the omites enter from.

While running through the flat lands of poxus, Jun stopped his legs as the ground in front of him breaks apart into a large ravine. Summer and Coen was on the other side in front of him. Summer and Coen shouts Jun's name, but Jun assures that he'll be fine and to go back home without him. Jun throws the book as far as he can to their side as Coen picks it up. As Summer was screaming at Jun, Coen grabs Summer and shouts at Jun, promising that he'll come back to get him because Jun's his friend. Jun runs into a cave and hid, waiting for the quake to stop.

While Chloe and her team was chilling in Jun's house, Coen and Summer barges in, telling them that Jun needs help. They began explaining the incident. Mikey tells them that they have to save Jun now and started a new mission. Coen takes charge and tells everyone that him and Summer will show them the way where Jun is and will save him. They run through the caves and into poxus, but suddenly stops when Jun spots them. Heading back to Izuzunu, Jun apologizes to Coen for being too harsh as Coen apologizes for wounding his shoulders. They finally become friends.

### Day 39: Wednesday (August 31, 2033)

Tidus and his group enters the underground city as they look at the amazing view. Collin points at a building that looked almost like a castle. Later, Tidus barges through a door as they are fighting the kalkruts. Tidus manages to barge into the right room, finding the book. A kalkrut charges toward Melanie and Kayla, but she manages to kill him and send him flying through a window. She picks up Melanie and runs through a window with the rest of them. They fall into a pool, surviving the fall.

Later, the team walks through the dark caves under Lake Uhato. It will take them 4 days to make it back to Izuzunu, as it took 4 days to get to Lake Uhato and the Underground City. Melanie began telling Kayla that she remembers her past. She began explaining that she remembers her parents and how they would always take her to her favorite restaurant. Melanie began crying, telling Kayla she missed her parents, but Kayla cheers Melanie up and hugged her.

Meanwhile, Tidus asked Collin what he think he was in the past. Collin answered that he was probably an actor and laughed. Kayla runs with Melanie in front of them and grabs the suit. The suit was a swim suit that covered their entire body. It also came with an air tank, where they would swim back up to the surface. Kalya, Melanie, Collin, and Tidus all enter the lake and was underwater. Tidus turned around and closes the door attached to the inside of the caves.

The same day at the first kaimog castle, Eungi and the rest were dressed in doom brigade clothing as all the kaimogs and kalkruts look at them. Kyle keeps scratching his face as it's itching him. Eungi yells at him quietly to stop scratching his face before the paint goes away. Eungi finds the main base and enters the base and seeing all the kalkruts looking at them, soon the kalkruts turned back and does their own things.

Kyle spots a sign that shows the direction of the book. They followed it and finds the book in a room. Kyle suggests they take off the suit now, but Eungi yelled at him not to. It was too late because the kalkrut has spotted them all. They all run over the kalkrut and runs out of the castle as they release the kaimogs. Kyle and Edison began arguing with each other again about how long they've been out.

### Day 43: Sunday (September 4, 2033)

A week later, it is George's birthday as they are celebrating it, waiting for Eungi and Tidus's team to get back. George is turning 10 years old. Chloe looks outside to spot Eungi and Tidus. Later inside, they were preparing the armors and tools to fight the kaimog dragon. Jun puts on the first diamond armor set they finally created. Eungi then rips off each book's 50th page and puts them all together like a puzzle to find the potal. Eungi finds the x mark and points at it, saying that is where the portal will be. Jun grabs his new full diamond sword saying "Let's go kill that dragon".
