May 8th. Midnight.


(Jack's POV)

Not long after Jake drove Jenna to the hospital, New World Island's News broadcast an emergency.

News: "We have received reports of a Zoroark going on a rampage across New World Island."

"That was a live feed from the entrance of Ghost Town

"That was a live feed from the entrance of Ghost Town. Zoroark appears to be enraged and unleashing Night Daze at random. Authorities have tried to calm it down, but with no success. One of them has been sent to the hospital."

"I don't know about you guys," I began, "but I'm going to the hospital to check on..." I paused and looked at the staff and others. "Crysta."

"We're coming too," Mrs. Tao said as Ben and the twins nodded.

"Let us know how she's doing when you get there." My mom told me.

After we all got dressed, we climbed into Mrs. Tao's car and drove away.

May 9th. Morning.


Half an hour after the doctor told us Crysta was gonna be fine and her sister (A.K.A. Zorua) was allowed in her room, Officer Jenny came barging in on her motorbike. At first, we thought she was here about her colleague Zack, who was admitted an hour before Crysta, but that turned out not to be the case.

"WHERE IS SHE? IS SHE OK? WHAT HAPPENED?" She demanded in a panic from her bike.

"Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!!" The receptionist cried. "Calm down, Officer Jenny. Who are you talking about? Zack? He's recovering just fine."

"I'M TALKING ABOUT DARKRAI'S VICTIM!! THE ONE IN CRITICAL CONDITION!!!"

"Um... Officer Jenny," Melody said as she cautiously approached the receptionist's desk. They both turned to look at her. "I... don't know what you've heard, but Je- Crysta isn't critical," she continued. "The doctors told us less than an hour ago that she's fine and is resting right now."

There was silence for a few minutes before Officer Jenny sighed in relief.

"Good. Now that that's settled," Mrs. Tao said as she stood beside Melody. "Who told you that Crysta was in critical condition?"

"Haven't you been watching the news?" Officer Jenny asked disbelievingly.

"Yeah, we know about the Zoroark that's on a rampage," I said. "But what does that have to do with Crysta?"

"Here, I'll show you," she said as she got off her bike and came into the waiting room to change the channel on the TV.

"I'll just move your bike outside by the door," the receptionist told her.
