After a month of traveling through the Realm of the Abyss, Jack and the Allied Forces had finally arrived back at the Freedlands. Firestar was piloting the Zar Voyager.

Jack looked at John Zar, the man they fought so hard to rescue. He was sleeping softly, and he hadn't awaken since his brief talk with Surtr. Although he wasn't dead, he was severely ill, as were Vanessa Stevenson, Grandma Zar, and Sensei Esorong. They were infected with Devil's Scar. He thought of Waldo, who was captured by the Cult. Who knew what they were doing to Waldo?

"Dad, Grandma, Sensei, and Vanessa........just.......hang in there! We're almost there!", said Jack.

John opened his eyes for the first time in a month.

"Jack.......Jackson........Zar........my sons have come, and are grown up," said John.

"Dad, you're awake!", said Jack.

"How's mom?", said John.

"Mom is fine," said Jack.

"No.......my.......mom.......Phoenix," said John.

"Oh........ummmmmm," said Jack.

Jack looked at Grandma Zar, she didn't look so well. She and Sensei Esorong looked like the were in higher critical condition than the others, probably due to their insanely old age. Jack didn't know what to say, they could be on their death beds.

"They're fine," lied Jack.

John squinted his eyes and groaned in pain.

"ARRRRRRAAAAAGH!!!!!!", moaned John.

"Dad, hang in there! Mr. Shriek will get you all healed up!", said Jack.

"Jack..........where's William?", said John.

He was talking about Waldo.

"Oh, William goes by the name Waldo. He's fine," said Jack.

Resizagirl sat near Vanessa. Vanessa writhed in pain.

"Vanessa, it's fine! Just hang in there," said Resizagirl.

"DON'T......CALL.....ME.....VANESSA!!!!!!! SHE'S.......DEAD!!!!!!! DEATHSHADOW.......MURDERED......HER!!!!!! I......FAILED......HIM!!!!!!! I.....FAILED.....WALDO!!!!!!!!!! PATHETIC!!!!!!!", screamed Vanessa.

Jack looked out the window. After a month of seeing the absolutely dark Realm of the Abyss, Jack was glad to be back in the Freedlands. The Freedlands were still full of life, and it was bright and sunny. Although, it didn't feel the same without Waldo.

"Guys, we are approaching SAFE Academy!", said Firestar.

Jack saw SAFE Academy emerge in the distance. Murguol was nowhere near. Thank Exzar! The Cult hasn't attacked SAFE yet.

"The Cult hasn't attacked SAFE yet! I don't see Murguol anywhere! Was that bald headed creep bluffing?!", said Jack.

"No, he isn't bluffing! He's probably gathering all of his armies! I can infer that a massive army is approaching! An army comprising of every vile race in Spacechase: Dark Elves, Orcs, Dragons, and Men! Just look there!", said Witchdoctor.

Jack saw smoke coming from the center of the school. Something was burning.

"We have to get there quick!", said Jack.

The Zar Voyager landed. Everyone got off the ship and went to the smokey area. Students and teachers were crying in fear.

A wooden carving of a symbol was burning in purple flames, the Mark of Nousaurong. Lying around it were the bodies of 17 students. Written on the wall was a message in blood:
