Jordan had been in the hospital for three weeks. He was suffering from a severe case of constipation.
    "Haha, get wrecked, Jordan," said Gary.
    "Shut up, you don't know how it feels to get constipated," said Jordan.
    "Here, drink this," said the nurse. She handed Jordan a spoonful of laxative. He drank it.
    "What have you kids been up to?" the nurse asked Gary, Olivia, and Arnie.
    "Here's what happened," said Olivia. She started talking.

    So Jordan, Gary, and I were watching Robocop, while Arnie was writing in his journal. At some point, Jordan decided to go to the bathroom. Suddenly, he started screaming and groaning. We asked him what was wrong, and he told us that he was constipated. After the issue went on for a couple of hours, we decided to send him here to the hospital. Afterwards, we proceeded to continue looking for the leaves. All of a sudden, we realized that Emperor Ginold and his goons had been following us this whole time. They chased after us for two-hundred years.

    "Hold on a second," said the nurse. "Two-hundred years? Are you, like, exaggerating or something?"
    "It's a long story," said Olivia. "But anyways, let me continue."

    Ever since the prophecy got to Emperor Ginold, he became bent on defeating Jordan, and he is doing everything he can to ruin his life. And that was what he was preparing to do. Like obviously. He already burned down ten cities in Northeast Planet just so Jordan can be mentally scarred. Billions of billions of people were killed. So anyways, Ginold found us, and he and his men chased us around the city. When we reached Time Square, Ginold caught us, and he took out a camera. I asked him what he was doing, and he told us clearly and concisely what he was planning to do. He was going to throw me under a car, record a video of him doing that, and show the video to Jordan in order to break his heart.
    But at the moment he was about to do that, a couple of gangsters on the street started fighting. Emperor Ginold was distracted by that, and I immediately escaped with Gary and Arnie. We asked the sword for help, and the sword made us invisible. But Ginold's senses and hearing are completely beyond the possible. He can easily tell where we are simply by smelling our footsteps and listening to us breathing. Thankfully, a taxi arrived at the moment Ginold was about to find us again, so we hopped onto the taxi and escaped. And we were very careful to breathe as little as possible. The taxi dropped us off at McDonald's, and we ate hamburgers and some french fries while we were at it. We also drank some cups of Coke. When we finished our food, we left the place and continued running from the evil emperor. But thanks to human technology, Emperor Ginold tracked us down with a cellular phone, and he grabbed me when I was about to jump into the sewers.
    "You're not escaping from me again," he said. "This time, Olivia, you will die. Jordan is definitely going to see you getting crushed by a car. Good riddance. Hehe."
    Suddenly, a deus ex machina happened. The sword had a discharge of energy at the best moment possible, striking Emperor Ginold and his men and blasting them into space.
    Afterwards, we decided to visit Jordan here in the hospital.

    The nurse blinked a couple of times. She thought Olivia was delusional.
    "Northeast Planet. Emperor Ginold," she said as she rolled her eyes and walked out of the room.
    "I take it that Emperor Ginold is dead," said Jordan.
    "I'll ask the sword," said Gary. "Sword, is Emperor Ginold dead?"
    I don't know. Said the sword.
    Jordan had a look of disapproval on his face. While Olivia, Arnie, and Gary were leaning on the brighter side, Jordan knew that this only meant Emperor Ginold was getting more and more powerful, to the point where the sword couldn't even track down his current status.
    "Come on, cheer up," said Gary. "Ginold's gone. He's suffocating in space at this moment."
    "No," said Jordan. "You don't know that. I don't know that. We don't know that. The sword doesn't even know that."
    "Once a pessimist, always a pessimist," Arnie grumbled.
    The nurse went back into the room.
    "Jordan, you will be able to leave the hospital in two days," the nurse said.
And when she left the room again, a purple leaf fell out of her pocket, and the leaf continuously glowed.
"The second leaf," said Olivia. She picked up the leaf, and she put it in her pocket.
"Let's go back into our hotel," said Arnie.
And they went back into their hotel.
