Chapter 19: "Mr. Ernie Says Hi."

"AHHHHHHH!!!!" Sidney and Nathan scream at the same time as the force field they are in whizzes through the open air. They are in the front, pressed against the energy-popping surface of the force field.

Also in the force field is "Galchenyuk-in-Zadorov," who is in the back, bracing himself.

Following the force field unwillingly is Jonathan. The force of the strength he used to throw the force field out of the headquarters tagged along with him, bringing him along in the ride.

"Jonny, do something!!!" Sidney yells. His eyes are as big as pucks as he stares at the blurred scenery passing by him.

"He can't hear you!" Nathan shouts at his friend. "Just brace yourself!"

Nikita just stares ahead, hoping for the ride to end and to get back on track with his mission.

Meanwhile on the outside, Jonathan is scrambling for ways to get out of this predicament safely. He peers down below him, seeing the streaking, flat lands flying under him.

An idea then pops into his head. "I'm gonna start lowering the force field down!" he shouts over the blasting air, like as if anyone can hear him.

He focuses his energy on the force field, getting a strong connection on it while travelling at such a high speed. He then begins to lower his arms, but then immediately stops as he spots snow-capped mountains rushing below him.

"Whoa!" Jonathan yelps, eyeing the long mountain range passing by him. "That was close...!"

Once the mountains passed, the air is slammed with smothering heat. The terrain below flattens out into desert.

Sweat starts forming on Jonathan's forehead. "I've' gotta put this down..."

With all of his strength, he refocuses his energy on the force field and lowers his arms. The force fields begins to gradually lower down as another mountain range pops out from the land.

"NO--!"

But it's too late.

The force field crashes into a sky-penetrating mountain peak, shaking up and eventually losing Jonathan's connection to it.

"AHHHHH!!!" Sidney and Nathan scream as they begin plummeting down in thin air. They hug each other with massive eyes peering down below.

Jonathan immediately rings another force field, this time around him and the two skaters and blasts off toward the west, getting away from the perilous mountain range.

Sidney peers behind his shoulder, spotting Jonathan right behind him in the force field. "Hah! Jonny," he huffs out with a sigh of relief. "You're here!"

"Yeah!" Nathan lets go of Sidney and high-five him. "We're safe!"

Sidney high fives Nathan back. He then turns back to Jonathan. "Do you know where we are?"

"No," Jonathan grunts out, not breaking his stare ahead as he concentrates on the force field flying rapidly. "First let me land this at a place that's not hot nor has mountains then we can figure out where we're at."

"Okie-dokie!" Sidney turns back to the purple-tinted view of now the flat, farm land.

A few moments later, an industrial area appears below the three.

"Ugh, I'm hungry," Nathan murmurs. "Can we land and grab something to eat?" He turns to face Jonathan.

Jonathan peers below him. "I guess."

He lowers the force field in a small parking lot. Once it hits the asphalt, he dissolves it.

The three take in their surroundings: a small, two-lane street to the left, a cute, yellow building to their right, rusted warehouses on the other side, clear blue skies above, and a decent temperature around them.
