We came down the Wailing Alps, and went back to the Bounty to secure the pieces. Sensei was out on some business, so we tried to convince the rest of the guys to come. "Why should we risk our lives for some dumb rock?" Jay asked. Zane elbowed him in the gut.

"Because, it's a family heirloom! If they're lost, it's my responsibility as a grandchild who has the amulet to find the rest of the pieces! Think about it like Zane's Triple Chocolate Cake. If he only gave you guys one piece to share, you'd search the Bounty and then some to find the rest, right?" I asked. "He does have a point, cake is an important part of life." Cole smiled to himself.

"He means we'll help you search for it. But, just for saftey, even though I technically cannot die, I would like to stay back to stall Sensei Wu, just in case he asks about you guys." Zane said. "Sounds like a plan." Kai said. We got ready with some more tents, and more candy. We were just about to leave when my parents came by to pick up my sister.

"Hi, son! How have you been?" Mom hugged me tight. "Mom, I'm fine. Just one question. Can Bethany stay for a few more days? We're working on a really important project." I said. "Of course, but do you need anything?" She asked me. At that moment, I saw Jack, Mack and Steph walking out of the car to me.

"Hi, Jidder." Stephanie said as she gave me a hug. "Hey, kiddo. Hi Sir Stuffsalot." I said, gesturing to the teddy bear she was holding. "Yeah, he wanted to come along, but he got carsick, and he spit this out." She held up a sparkling gem in her hand.

"Uh, Steph? Where'd you get that?" I asked, wide eyed. " I told you, Sir Stuffsalot threw up." She giggled. "Okay, where'd Sir Stuffsalot get it?" I questioned. "I don't know." Came the answer. "Ask mommy. She knows everything." My little sister said, putting the gem in my hands.

"Hey mom?" I asked. "Where'd you find this gemstone?" "I found it in the attic. I was going to throw it out, but Stephanie likes sparkly things." She answered. "Hey Steffie?" I asked. "Yeah?" She looked up at me. "Remind me to tell Zane to make you a batch of cookies." I said. "Yummy!" She squealed.

She ran back to the car and they drove off, leaving only one piece left to find.
