!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!
on the other side of the Effectual Door,..the Greens Temple students free-fall in total darkness, screaming the whole way until they splash down into rushing water that pushing them rapidly along,..when the water finally slows down they all wash up on the side of what looks to be the banks of a jungle river. They look up in the dark night sky, and see that they fell between two large mountains.
Harlem New York has no mountains, and it d*mn sure don't got no jungle!,..says Sue coughing up water,..
JOEY!,...WHERE ARE WE!?
-Having washed up on the jungle banks of the world of the Effectual Door. They all drag themselves up into the brush in the deep dark night of what seems to be where they went through a door from Harlem New York. Everyone is shocked with no idea what just happened. Joe!,..where da hell are we?,..asks Sue. I'm not sure!,..All I know is "this" is the place I was told to go if things ever got so hairy the school had to make an escape. That's it?,..that's all you got for us?,..asks Sue. Who told you to come here?,..Uncle Dave, or my dad?... It was Master Dave,..He never really went into details. He always spoke of it in passing. It was always understood the very possibility of needing to flee Dragon's Temple of all places would be laughable! Yet here we are!,..says Brett aka Ninjaman. Doesn't ever open his mouth,..picks NOW to speak!,...says Joe gruffly. ..BECAUSE!,..replies Gunner,..HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO TAKE THIS!?" SHHHHHH!!,..says Phares,..I thought I heard something!!? Me too!,.says Brooke... It sounds humongous,...but far away!,..says Jake.
Everyone quietly move out,..this way!,..says Joe
After walking all night, everyone is tired hungry, and restless.
Do we even know where we're going? asks Brooke,..The sun is coming up, so maybe we can establish where we are geographically? jajajaja!,..Have you not been paying attention?,..asks Jerry,.Does any of this place look normal to you!?,..I don't think we're even on earth! We're on Earth!,..replies Joe. You said you don't know anything!, snaps Sue,..How is that you "KNOW" we're on Earth!
Joey Dynamite just stares at Sue,.. "we're on Earth!"
It's a parallel dimension!,..says Brett Joe gets a surprised look as if he didn't think anyone would figure it out.
Everyone GASPS!!
GOT-DAMMIT!,.snarls Jake,...REALLY!!? Junior master Joey, please tell us Thunder told you how we can,.....WHAT ARE THOSE THINGS!!?? They look like giant birds!,..says Phares. KEEP MOVING!,..says Joe
Is it me or does it look like they are following us!?,..asks Jerry. They're too far up,..they can't see us!,..replies Joe
I don't know!,..says Brooke with concern in her voice,..It looks as if they are keeping an eye on us! !!THEN MOVE EVERYONE!,..shouts Joey D,....GLOW UP!
Everyone glows up, and rockets through the forest by bouncing except for Sue, who still struggles with glow concentration. She turns around and the guy who helped them get into the mall storefront is also struggling to keep up. Who are you, and why do you have no glow?,..asks Sue... Never mind hold on to me! At very high speeds, the students of the Dragon Temple begin to realize they are in fact being followed.
EVERYONE STOP!,..HIDE!,..shouts Joey Dynamite
Everyone hides in the trees, but this causes the huge flying figures to come in closer, and closer until they disappear.
Huff-huff-huff!,...where'd they go? !!HA!!,...THEY'RE GONE!,..we lost em,..oh,..oh,...OOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!
JAAAAAAAAAKE!,..screams Sue,...AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!
One by one each student is snatched then taken up into the air. They are taken to high mountains, where deep inside is a Temple. They are dropped right in front of the temple shrine steps. !!Well, well, well, what do we have here!? Welcome strangers!,..Welcome to the wonderful, Majestic Court of the Crane! Who are you?,..asks Joe
Good of you to ask!,..I AM YOUR LORD, AND MASTER,..SHAOFAN!
You all look famished!,....No matter, we were just getting ready to feast!
As all the crew walk across the huge court, there are giant stone doors that close as they walk pass. There is a dark and evil aura coming from the now locked up area. Everyone feels it. There seems to be a faint muffled scream of a human coming from the other side. Everyone looks at each other but continues to move forward as if they didn't hear as they are being guided by the same troop that brought them there. They are presented with a mountain of food. This feast was in honor of our near to be finest hour!,..says Shaofan bragging,  .....But since we have guest, we now declare this feast on behalf of our sojourners!
EAT UP!!,..EAT UP!!,..IT'S DELICIOUS!!
They all eat and it is indeed delicious, various meats, fish, and fruit and vegetable dishes.
WONDERFUL!,..WONDERFUL!,..says Shaofan, Now that you all have eaten!,.we invite you to join us on our campaign! !!Campaign!?,..asks Joey Dynamite.
YES!,..the Majestic Court is the premiere kingdom of all the lands, but alas there are still dissenters that would usurp our Majestic imperial way of truth of honor! WILL YOU JOIN US!!? !?WHAT?,..chimes in Brooke,..We can't!,..we don't even!,...........
Shaofan's face turns very grim.
What my fiend is trying to say is we need more time to think about it, after all we're new here!,..says Joe
If I may ask Master Shaofan, who are these dissenters? Why would your wonderful court need us!?
They are evil clans who want to destroy the free loving ways of our court. See those villages below, those people, they depend on us to protect them. There's the Dark Lion Clan, the Simian Clan, and the dreaded Emerald Dragon Clan. They have been known to unleash horrible evils on the entire lands and peoples from waters to waters! So what say you!? ...But why would you need us?,..asks Sue,..Your guard is vast, and seem capable enough.
I sense a great power in you all! A power that could help insure our victory.
!AGAIN!,.chimes in Joe,..I have to ask my Lord for a moment while we consider among ourselves?  Surely you can understand?
Shaofan once again gets a face of indignation but calms down and reconsiders.
Where are my manners!?,..I'm sure you all are tired from your journey,...Where is it you all come from anyway?,....It doesn't matter!,..Rest up!, rest up!,..tomorrow I will hear your "AFFIRMATIVE" answer! (smirking) Proper quarters are arranged for each and everyone of you. Aaaah, my Lord we would need accommodations that would house all of us, so we can deliberate,....Yes??
Shaofan's countenance drops again, but again he refrains.
Fine, fine,..it shall be as you desire!
All the students are put into a room big enough to fit them all in, but the unmistakable sound of a lock can be heard as they all are ushered in. Once they feel as though they are not being spied on they begin to speak.
!!OH MY GOD!,..WHAT IS THIS WEIRD WORLD!?,..shouts Brooke. Why would the Master have us come here!? I absolutely don't trust this guy or the these flying people!,.says Sue. There is no telling what he's trying to get us into! I agree!,..replies Joey D,..We have to get out of here! Well I'm always ready for action!,..says Gunner. You think we can beat all those soldiers!?,..asks Phares,..They look well trained!
I must admit they easily got the drop on us, but it looks like we aren't going to be given much choice!,..says Joey D,..Your thoughts on the matter Ninjaman?,...Brett!?,..Where's Brett!?,       WAIT!,..  Who are you!? !!You know me,..I'm Mr. D! Mr. D!?,..asks Joe,.. I can't say I do know you! Where did you come from?
Isn't he one of these guys?,..asks Phares. He's not one of us!,.says Jerry. He was back at the Mall!,..says Brooke,..He came here with us?..
How did you guys not notice that? We're not girls!,..replies Gunner. That makes absolutely no sense...says Brooke. BUT SERIOUSLY!,..says Joey,..Who are you, and why should I know you?
I'm from the J. Yu School out of the Maryland DC area. Thunder asked me to help out! D.C. and Virginia area huh?,..asks Gunner. Maryland!,..you said Virginia it's Maryland! Ok then!,..back to the problem at hand, what do you think Mr. D? Well, they seem battle ready, we would do best to try to avoid any kind of frontal melee attacks,..also,.  they are interrupted by Brett who runs back into the room nearly hysterical.
IT'S!,.......IT'S!,.......IT'S!,........I,................GASP!,...UGH!!
!!WHOA!,..CALM DOWN BRETT,..WHAT IS IT!!?
M,.......MONSTER!!,.........IT'S F*CKIN' HUGE!!!
