"The splitting up plan should work. " Said Sensei Lloyd. " Me, Copic and Zephyr will prepare the tea for going to Hiroshi's Labyrinth and back. Lisa and Nathan go with Zephyr to the fake location, Moe and Jadyn, your job will be to get Zephyr's family out of there. I won't be coming because of my injuries and Copic will staying here too. " " Hey! " Said Copic in protest. So that's what they did. Sensei Lloyd, Copic and Zephyr set straight to work making the tea, it was at bit complicated so Zephyr mostly stood back and let Sensei and Copic do most of it. She did what they told her to do though, no matter how strange. " Now crumple the tea leaves into it as you think of one of the locations you mentioned. " Instructed Sensei. " Good. Now do the same with these other ones. " Finally they were ready with more than enough tea just in case. They than all gathered outside, they all had fresh ninja suits on except for Copic who was wearing her lab coat and normalish clothes with her goggles on her head. Nathan was a black ninja suit like Zephyr, Lisa, Moe and Jadyn had wore when they were first training. Zephyr, Lisa and Nathan went first. " See you guys later. " Said Zephyr to Jadyn and Moe, Sensei and Copic. She grinned, she knew she'd see them all again shortly, Alpha probably wasn't even tracking her and she was just being paranoid, but since when did being paranoid ever hurt anyone? This was the right thing to do.
They activated the the traveler's tea and Zephyr, Lisa and Nathan stepped through the portal. The first thing Zephyr noticed was the change in temperature, it was much warmer here. Large trees srouunded them on all side's, floilage was everywhere, plants much larger than any back at the dojo. Wild animals made noises in distance. Some colorful birds flew over their heads making their familiar noises. I was all so fresh and yet it felt like coming home. Zephyr breathed in the fresh clean jungle air. Of course as expected some mosquitos did attack them, which wasn't pleasant, but at the moment Zephyr hardly cared. " Ouch! " Said Nathan, something must've got him. Lisa seemed to be studying their surroundings and said. " Hiroshi's Labyrinth, miles of jungle so dence no one can make it out. A least that's what the books and internet say. It's said to be filled with danger and getting lost is supposed to be really easy. How do you know where we are? " " Because we're in a part of the jungle I was always told to stay away from. " Said Zephyr feeling a bit nostalgic. " How clever. " Said a voice that wasn't Lisa's or Nathan's. Alpha stepped out of some foliage nearby. " What are you doing here?! " Asked Zephyr, she was more surprised to see him then she thought she'd be. " I could ask you the same thing granddaughter. Why aren't you with your family? " Some warriors also emerged from the surrounding foliage. " How'd you know I'd come here? " Asked Zephyr honestly not sure what to do. " How did you know I would follow? " He asked calmly. " Just a guess. " repiled Zephyr.
1. XD Of course she'd bring caffeine and music. . .
2. The beetle--? le gasp BEETLE, ARE YOU ONE OF ALPHA'S SPIES?!? BUT I TRUSTED YOU!!!
3. Atta boy, Lloyd! Warn the family as soon as possible!
1. Definitely the first things to bring when a younger sibling asks for a ride out of a dangerous place. Unless she already had it all in her van. 2. Paranoid much?
1. Maybe she has lots of random stuff like that packed in her van, you never know when you're going to need it.

One hundred pages! Hey, look at that, you hit 100! CONgratulations, NFM! I'm very glad to have been with Gravitation to see it hitting the first 100 pages. :3

I know! Thank you! I couldn't have gotten this far without you and the other readers.
Sensei then started playing through each and every level quickly and without any fails, speeding through it casually. What would have been levels that might have taken someone five to twenty minutes Sensei finished within a minute or less. "Is he? Is he speed running? " asked Moe. "In a way." Replied Jadyn. " How? " said Moe. " What did you think I do with my free time? Meditate? " said Sensei still grinning. Within a reasonable amount of time Sensei Lloyd had made it to the level they were at. With a mischievous glance at Moe Sensei took out the creature in no time hardly. " I think that's enough showing off for today. " said Sensei. He saved and quit, turning the game off and then said " Alright everyone out, you need to get back to your free time don't you? " He got up to leave the room but Moe stopped him. "Wait, please tell me everything! Teach me! " He grinned wider still and replied " Perhaps I can teach you a little. "

" I guessed as well, however I had help as well. It isn't hard to spy on someone once you know where they live. " said Alpha. " How did you get here so quickly? "Asked Zephyr. " Same as you. We used the travelers tea we took from you on both occasions. However, traditionally we do not use travelers tea or anything that could be considered to powerful in fear it could shift the balance, so this was sort of a first for us. " Repiled Alpha. " So that's why you never used travelers tea to find my father? " " Exactly. " Said Alpha. " So why use it now? After going after devices and trying so many other ways. " Said Zephyr. Alpha closed his eye and sighed. " I've grown desperate. Especially after finding out about you and finally meeting you. I can't wait any longer to find my son. The astroid will come soon and so will the all elemental masters fall. I must make sure my family is safe now before it all begins. I can always fix the balance later. " Zephyr wasn't sure what to say to that. Lisa and Nathan stood by her, they stayed quiet, probably unsure of if they should be fighting Alpha and the pack warriors or just let Zephyr and Alpha talk. The pack members stood by Alpha in similar way, except they seemed to be waiting like a dog waiting to be told it can eat. One of the warriors stepped closer. Zephyr pulled out her knife. Lisa and Nathan braced themselves beside her. The two small groups stood there in silence for a brief moment eyeing each other down. Zephyr tried to look as clam as her grandfather was, it wasn't easy though. Then Alpha said. " You know, that knife has our symbols on it. Look, there's the asteroid symbol and the wolf paw with three stripes through it. Just look. " Zephyr did, only because she didn't see any harm in it. It was as he said, she'd seen these symbols many times.
