Veronica Newman gulped as she looked down the dark alleyway. She imagined the kind of monsters that would like a dark, creepy place like this, just itching to eat someone foolish enough to go down the alley. She took a deep breath. For my family! She thought, and went down the alley. She found what she was looking for. The silhouette of a man leaning against wall. In the dark alley, she couldn't see his face, but she knew who he was, Derick DeeCeve.
She curtsied. "Greetings, your Highness, how is the liberation of the Sporemon coming?" She asked.
"It goes very well. I'm glad you made your decision, Miss Newman. Our attacks on your friends and family will cease, once you bring the Savers into our clutches."
Derick handed Veronica a rolled up paper. Veronica curtsied again and left. It felt good to be in the sunlight again. She hated the secrecy and the lying to her friends, and her mother, but it was for a good cause. Now her mother and new friends would be safe from the threat of the Troop. Switching sides worked for Mom when she was my age. Why wouldn't it work for me? Veronica thought, racing up the hill to her house.
***
Maralay and Alissa had just finished the dishes when Veronica came in. Veronica put on the most excited face she could. "Guess what?" she asked the team.
"Ok. What?" asked Cody shrugging.
"Another tournament, and this time, it's sponsored by the Liberation Troop." Veronica unfolded the piece of paper Derick had given her. It was a poster for the tournament. "Why not hit them where they live?" asked Veronica with a smile.
She didn't like the plan, but for her mother's sake, the attacks had to stop. She prayed that the Lord would work this out for good somehow.

Next Gen- Trust, and Betrayal
continued from Teamwork
Andrew looked out at the stars. It was comforting to know the Thraen night sky was filled with the same stars and constellations as back home. His head bobbed in time with the music from his Ipod. He was trying to understand what God was doing.
"Have something on your mind?" Her voice made him jump. He then stopped his Ipod.
"Oh. Amanda. How did you know?" Andrew asked. She joined him on the Newman's balcony.
"Whenever my dad has something on his mind, he goes outside to get a word from God." Amanda said. "Now spill."
"Well..." Could he really tell her? Okay, it wasn't a big deal, just tell her. "Today when I met you, I felt....
nervous. I couldn't help it. I've never felt that way around a girl. Now when I look at Maralay or Veronica..." He looked over his shoulder at the door. He hated how his hands trembled. He banged his fist on the metal railing. "Ow!" He said, shaking out the pain. "I hate this. I just want to be friends with you guys. I've asked God to take it away, but He hasn't. " Amanda thought for a moment.
"Give it to the Lord," she said. "You prayed for Him to take it away, but have you let Him? You need to ask the Lord to take it away, believe it's gone, and it will go away. I promise. Heaven knows how many times I've asked for Him to take stuff away." She grabbed a hanging earbud and stuck it in her ear. "Mind if you start over from the beginning of your tracks?"
***
That morning, after a training session, everyone, except Kai, had a hearty meal of sausage and eggs. Kai just had cereal. "I like cereal." he said in defence, and kept eating.
Amanda sat by Andrew so see if she had helped him at all. He gave the A-ok sign.
But now Andrew had a different problem. His sister usually ate their parents out of house and home. She had barely eaten anything. Also, he thought she would cream him in practice, but he surprised her and then lost to Kai. Andrew thought of bringing it up, but Veronica scooted her chair back and stood up from the table.
"I have an errand to run." She said, and went out the door.
Veronica ran down the dirt path to town, and went down Main Street. She then searched the alleyways for the right one. 789 she read, and darted down the alleyway.

Next Gen- Teamwork
continued from A New Weird Problem
Amanda got permission from her parents to spend the week at the Newman's house. As they walked down the path, Kai and Amanda were up front talking about what they'd been doing for the past few weeks. Andrew was in back, far from Amanda. Lord, please don't let that happen again, he thought. A few minites ago, he felt nervous around Amanda and couldn't figure out why.
Three figures jumped out of the bushes. They wore the long robes that indicated they were part of the Liberation Troop. One of the figures had a sporemon the kids recognized as an Amafist. The other was a water-type called Megator, a huge aligator, and the other was an earth-type called Magnitite.
"Hand over your sporemon, now!" the biggest figure cried.
Andrew saw his sister nod, and knew what that meant. They rushed in front of the party. "If you want to get our sporemon..." Andrew started
"Then you have to get through us!" finished Alissa. Andrew marveled at how they worked together. Sometimes, they got on each other's nerves, and teased one another, but when the time came to be a team, they could cream anyone.
"Amafist, super punch!" the biggest figure called. The Amafist leaped an incredably high distance off the ground to come down and punch the earth sending shock waves through the ground. Amafist never got the chance.
"Horsea, hoof stomp!" Alissa said, and her sporemon, a blue horse with a frothy white mane and tail stomped the ground
"Costric, chained lightning!" Andrew cried and his furry, yellow monkey shot two big bolts of lightning from each of his hands. The lightning surrounded the Amafist on the right and left, and made way for the tidal wave Horsea created to sweep away Amafist.
"Two more!" Alissa said. A large boulder was launched their way. Costric nimbly dodged, caught the boulder, and threw it at the Magntite. That only left Megator. Horsea stomped again but this time the sporemon swam through the current and smashed into Horsea.
"It didn't work." Alissa said.
"I have a plan. Do that move again" Andrew said.
Alissa gave him a confused look and did the hoof stomp once more. As Horsea galloped toward the Megator, Costric jumped on its back. The wave hit the Megator and it swam toward their sporemon again. "Chained lightning!" Andrew called, and Costric's hand lit up with sparks. The water was electrified and the Magator was stunned, then knocked out. The other members congratulated Andrew and Alissa.
Andrew was glad they were headed to the Newman's house. He needed to think.
****
"Poor babies," Delilah mocked, as the three figures cowered before her. "Pathetic! My father isn't pleased with your attacks on the Savers. It's time we change tactics."

Next Gen- Weird New Problem
continued from New Member?
Sara O'Bon stood on a moonlit beach gazing up at the stars. She looked down and saw two toddlers holding her hands- her children. She slowed down to allow their wobbly legs to catch up. She smiled and enjoyed the wonder on their faces as they looked at the stars and gasped and pointed. She bent down and asked Andrew "Can you find the Milky Way?" Even back home on Threa the Milky Way streamed across the heavens. Andrew's little face told her he was thinking hard, and pointed to the cluster of stars stretching across the sky.
"Very Good!" she said and bent down to give him a hug. She felt a tug on her shirt. "What about me?" asked Alissa. She picked Alissa up and twirled her around. I enjoy this. Sara thought. But I thought the kids were teenagers. Alissa giggled as Sara set her down on the sand. Suddenly Andrew and Alissa grew up, to the age she thought they were. They gave their mother a tight, loving hug, and dashed through a portal to Threa.
Sara awoke and sat up. It had been a dream. She smiled, remembering her kids as little tykes, holding them to steady them, and walk, ever so slowly, letting them take their first steps. "Lord," she prayed. "Please watch out for Andrew and Alissa, and if it's not too much trouble, tell them their Momma loves them."
She rolled over, careful not to wake Sam, and tried to calm her mind. She had a Momma mind, trying to let her kids grow up, but not wanting to let go. She wondered if it was as hard for her kids as it was for her. She smiled. God would protect her two gifts from harm.
***
Kai knocked on the door. A girl, about Andrew, Alissa, Cody, Maralay, and Veronica's age appeared. Pretty. Andrew thought. He wasn't head-over heels or anything, but he did have to admit, she was pretty.
"Hi, Kai." the girl said. "Who are your friends?" Kai introduced each of them. "My name is Amanda Strander." After she and Andrew shook hands, his hand tingled. Even when Veronica shook hands he didn't feel that. What weird new problem faced him, so far away from home and family? Never in his life had he been..... nervous around a girl. He'd never felt it, save for just now, but, nervous? It had to come now?
Amanda looked at the others. "You probably know this," she said. "But my Sporemon was taken by the Liberation Troop a year ago. I don't want revenge, I just want to see if I can find him. Is it okay if I join?"
"Sure." said Andrew. He meant it, but he couldn't help feeling like something else wanted her to be on the team. Suddenly a shriek tore through Andrew's thoughts.
"IT'S A GIANT BUG!" cried Alissa.
No, it not," Amanda said. "She's my Sporemon I got after they took my old one. She's a Mariposamon." A large purple butterfly fluttered onto the door step. She reached down and petted it's furry head.
Deep in the shadows, three figures watched. "Well,well, looks like we got another Sporemon for the Troop" Kenta said, smiling evilly.

Continued from a Greater Challenge
"So are you prepared for your greatest challange, Kai Gero? After all, when you lose, your sporemon will belong to the Liberation Troop," the robed figure said.
Kai gave the robed figure a look that would probably melt steel. "See you in the stadium, then." Kai said to the figure and walked out of the room.
"Kai!" Veronica called after him and he turned around. With his sporemon, Coatal, behind him, he looked ready to take on a Great White Shark.
This dude is tough Andrew thought. "Hey, V." he said talking to Veronica. "Now's not the time to talk. I have to try to protect Coatal from that jerk."
Kai petted Coatal on its nose, and it made a humming sound.
"Okay, but when you cream this guy, I want you to join our team." Veronica said. Kai smiled a kind smile, and Veronica gave him a thumbs up. Kai returned the thumb's up, and walked away.
Veronica shrugged. "He looks and acts all tough, but he really gets excited about battling opponents. Slip only a little, and you're toast. That's why Kai is so serious when he battles with Coatal." Then the kids went back to their seats in the stands.
"Sporemon Trainers ready?" asked the referee. Kai and the robed figure nodded. "Battle!" the ref said, and the fight was on. A little yellow wheel with eyes zoomed around the figure and ran circles around Coatal.
"What is that thing?" Andrew asked, and looked in the monipedia. "Wheelies are Sporemon known to travel in herds, and their stampedes are devastating. They are often mistaken as hubcaps for cars," he read out loud.
The Wheelie was creaming Coatal. Coatal tried to take flight, but the Wheelie kept coming faster then Coatal could take off. Kai had to do something fast, or he would lose Coatal.
"Is that all you got?" asked the robed figure.
"No," Kai answered matter of factly. "My God has more power then any of your organization will ever have. Coatal, now!" Coatal's snake-like figure wound it's self into a wheel and matched the Wheelie speed for speed. All the Savers were amazed at Kai's quick thinking, or was it inspiration from Christ? Kai then timed an attack just right. "Coatal, Light Burst!" as Coatal rolled into position, it shot a mighty fireball from it's mouth at Wheelie. Wheelie spun in place, and then fell over sideways. Kai had won.
Kai and the other Savers walked out of the stadium. The Saver's Sporemon ran to them, tired of playing tag, and munching on grass while they waited for their owners.
"I know a girl that would help us defeat the Liberation Troop. They took her sporemon a year ago. Thinking of how sad she was helped me win, but of course, the real reason I won was Christ." Kai said, and smiled. Could the Savers have a new member?
****
"I-I'm sorry Miss." The figure stammered. He was in a throne room, and seated on a throne was Delilah DeCeeve, Dereck's daughter. She loved the power, and how every one groveled in her presence.
Delilah frowned. "Go back to the training room, you need much more training!" she snapped. The figure winced. She called three members by name. "Kenta! Jon! Keith!" They all bowed before her. "Take care of these new Christianity Savers. They could be a thorn in our side later on!"

Next Gen- A Greater Challenge
"So loud!" Marilay cried as she pressed her hands to her ears. The roar of the crowd was deafening. The kids were in the Riverside Stadium, an arena that overlooked the river. The next generation of Christianity Savers, except for Veronica, covered their ears from the crowd's constant noise.
"This doesn't bother you?" asked Andrew.
"No," Veronica replied. "I've been to lots of Sporemon battles here. I'm used to it." Suddenly in an explosion and cloud of dust filled the area where the Sporemon had fought.
"That battle only started three minutes ago! No wonder you suggested Kai Gero for our team." Andrew said, stunned.
Kai Gero was the number one ranked player in the Newman's town. A snake-like body and head rose above the dust in the stadium. The Sporemon Kai rode was huge, and looked like a big, white snake with red wings.
Alissa checked the Monipedia. "It says here that thing is a Couatl pronounced 'Ko-Wat-Al' It likes warm sunny regions and only those with a honed gift of the Spirit can train one."
The head rose even further and the kids could see Kai more clearly. He was at least 16 with short blond hair and intense eyes. With his hands in his pockets and with the way he carried himself, he seemed to take any challenger lightly, because, after all, he was the champ.
"Like we need two apathetic team-members," Andrew thought, "Veronica, and now Kai?"
The Savers went to a lower level, where the noise of the crowds was muffled. The kids heard a differant kind of noise. Celebratory shouts and roars were coming from the locker room. Perhaps Kai wasn't as apathetic as Andrew thought he was. Then the shouts and roars stopped. The kids went into the room. Kai was standing, solemn again, with Couatl by his side. A robed figure stood, obscured by shadows.
"So are you prepared for your greatest challenge, Kai Gero? After all, when you lose, your Sporemon will belong to the Liberation Troop." the robed figure said.

Next Gen- Sporemon Left Behind?
Continued from Hello There!
A whinny sounded from behind the wrecked center.
"That sounds like a horse!" Alissa said, and ran around to the back of the building. "Oh, Wow!" She cried, making the others run to where she was.
Four sporemon were standing behind the center. One was a small, blue horse creature, with a frothy mane and tail, like the surf of the ocean. Another looked like a Golden Retriever, but with an extra tuft of fur on it's neck. A third, a yellow monkey with a ring of fur around it's face, and a long, prehensile tail. The final creature was a cat, light green with a dark green, almost black stripe down it's back.
Everyone was in shock. Even Veronica's uncaring mask melted into a look of wonder, and she unfolded her arms. Ali knelt down and petted the cat, which purred and rubbed up against her, getting leaves and vines all over her clothes.
"These sporemon were left behind by the Liberation Troop, because they were feisty little buggers. Aren't you, tough guy?" Ali crooned, making the cat purr louder.
"It's a miracle," Veronica finally said. The other children nodded their heads.
Suddenly the cat stopped purring, leaped away from Ali and up next to Cody. The Retriever-like animal bounded toward Marilee and gave her several licks on the face. The horse galloped up to Alissa, and nuzzled her cheek. The monkey jumped onto Andrew's shoulders and mussed up his hair, making it stand on end with static electricity.
"You mentioned something called the 'Liberation Troop', Mrs. Newman, who are they?" Andrew asked.
"A man by the name of Derek DeCeeve was one of the leading sporemon researchers on this world, and he concluded, wrongly, that man and sporemon never lived and worked together, and that they should be kept separate. He is deceiving young teens, around your age, to form a 'Liberatrion Troop' a troop of young people to ransack Adoption centers or anything else having to do with sporemon and human interaction. However, their reasoning is wrong. They team up with sporemon and use them to attack Adoption Centers and such."
"Whoa..." Cody breathed. "So, if they keep on deceiving kids our age, the future of Threa is at risk, and maybe even Earth?"
"Yes"
To everyone's surprise, Veronica jumped in, "What if we made our own team, and fought back against the Troop?" she asked.
Ali smiled. The anger in her daughter had finally faded. Ali caressed Veronica's hair and said "That's my girl."

"You mentioned something called the 'Liberation Troop', Mrs. Newman, who are they?" Andrew asked.
"A man by the name of Derek DeCeeve was one of the leading sporemon researchers on this world, and he concluded, wrongly, that man and sporemon never lived and worked together, and that they should be kept separate. He is deceiving young teens, around your age, to form a 'Liberatrion Troop' a troop of young people to ransack Adoption centers or anything else having to do with sporemon and human interaction. However, their reasoning is wrong. They team up with sporemon and use them to attack Adoption Centers and such."
"Whoa..." Cody breathed. "So, if they keep on deceiving kids our age, the future of Threa is at risk, and maybe even Earth?"
"Yes"
To everyone's surprise, Veronica jumped in, "What if we made our own team, and fought back against the Troop?" she asked.
Ali smiled. The anger in her daughter had finally faded. Ali caressed Veronica's hair and said "That's my girl."

Next Gen- Hello, there!
continued from Ready to Go
When the kids first came through the portal, the morning sky was bright and clear. They had all figured Threa would be different than Earth, but both planets looked the same. "Did we even transport?" asked Cody.
A building with a sign that read "Sporemon Adoption Center" answered Cody's question, but Andrew had another.
"Should we go in, and try to get our own sporemon?"
Alissa piped up "I hope I can get a horse-like one!" If there was one thing Alissa loved, it was horses.
"That might be a little difficult under the circumstances." a woman with short brown hair, and in her early 30's said, coming through the two sliding doors. The doors slid open and behind the woman the kids could see the Center was a mess. Papers and broken glass was everywhere, and pins and terrariums were overturned. Andrew realized who the woman was.
"You're Ali Charles aren't you?" He asked. The woman smiled.
"I haven't gone by that name in years. I'm Ali Newman now." Ali said. A girl about Andrew and Cody's age came through the doors. The way she carried herself and her body language told everyone she was ticked about something. "And this is my daughter, Veronica." Ali said. The girl huffed and looked away at no one in particular.
"Hi, Veronica." Andrew said, and in an attempt to be friendly, stuck out his hand for a shake.
Veronica held up her nose and huffed. Her mother nudged her. "Veronica, they're trying to be friendly, shake this young man's hand."
Veronica reluctantly mumbled "Hey," and shook each of the children's hands.
"I'm afraid the Adoption Center will have to close children," Ali said. "all the sporemon have been taken by a group of kids that call themselves the 'Liberation Troop', so you can't quite get sporemon easily right now."
A whinny sounded from behind the center.
"Maybe there are more sporemon here then you think" Marilee said.

Next Generation- Real?
continued from New year New Story- Next Generation
Mr. Mills turned the blaring alarm off.
"Thanks, I could hardly hear myself think." Sara, now a grown woman, said. She sat down in a chair and looked at the four children. Two of them, Andrew and Alissa were her own God-loving teens. The other two were her friend's, Kay Phillips, children, Marilee and Cody. "You all deserve to hear the truth," she said "would you please tell them, Dear?" Sara motioned to Sam O'Bon, once her best friend, now her husband. Sam nodded.
"You know the story of how Mrs. Phillips and I found the portal, became friends with your mother, and saved the whole darn universe from destruction," The kids nodded. "And that it was a game we three played when we were young, like Marilee and Alissa's Sargonia game."
Alissa piped up "You mean the one where we travel to another world, right Dad?"
Sam nodded. "That's the one, Sweetheart. You thought we made up Threa in our imagination, but..."
"It was real," Cody finished for him.
"Yes," Mr. Mills said, taking a dusty box off a shelf. "And this will take you kids to Threa."
"Now wait one minute, Mr. Mills, why can't the adults go?" Kay stood up, hands on her hips.
"It's a new age on Threa, Kay, and a new age needs a new generation. Would you please allow your young ones to go?"
"I'm sorry if I sounded mad," Kay replied. "I just wanted to know why the original Savers wouldn't be going."
Andrew gave all the parents a thumbs up. "Don't worry. We'll look out for each other and be an example of Christ like you taught us to be."
Mr. Mills took out an old looking gun. It was the same portal gun which drew Sam and Kay to Threa.
"You kids ready?" He asked.

New year, New story- Next Generation
“I don’t care. You are not wearing one, Veronica. I wore one when I was your age, and when I accepted Christ, I stopped. When we get to the shop, I have a Bible, so we can look up scriptures about morals.”
Ali Charles, now grown and married, wondered how her daughter could be so much like her at that age, caring only about what was popular. When she was young, she had tried to destroy the whole race of creatures called Sporemon, but when a group of kids called the Christianity Savers had shown her Christ’s love, she repented.
She looked at the Mill’s estate, now a Sporemon Adoption center, down the path. Her daughter Veronica was sulking behind her. How ironic that her mother hoped she would have kids just like her someday. She loved Veronica, and she didn’t want her daughter to go down a destructive path. She reached into her pocket and drew out a key to the center. “I love you and I don’t want you to end up like I was, V.” she said. The lock clicked and she entered the room. “Oh, no! We need to contact Earth, now!"
“O’Bon family, come forward,” Mr. Mills, now a proud grandfather said.
Sam O’Bon beamed as Sara held his hand and nudged her children toward her father. All the years of waiting and praying for a godly wife and children had paid off. Of their two young teens, Andrew was named for the disciple, and Alissa was named for truth with the spelling to honor their friend, Ali Charles. Sam looked at their friends, Kay and Darbin Phillips, and their children. Marilee was a thin, freckled girl with bright red hair and his daughter’s best friend. Cody, a black-haired boy around his son’s age, was Andrew’s best friend. It was great that his childhood friend’s children were best friends with his own. Mr. Mills baptized Alissa, and then Andrew.
“In name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, you are now a new creature in Christ.” Mr. Mills said.
Then, Kay’s children were next. All the children felt clean, and fresh, as if their old selves had died inside of them, and they were remade.
After a dinner of fish patties, the clink of metal filled the living room. The kids were in a battle royal of Cosmotops, a game with small, plastic tops. The parents were catching up on news. Suddenly an alarm sounded. Everyone covered their ears.
“Dad, what is that?” Sara yelled over the noise.
“It’s an alarm that I gave the Charles' before we left Threa, the center is in danger.”
“You mean the game you, Dad, and Mrs. Phillips used to play was..... real?” Andrew asked.

The End?
continued from The Light of His Word
"Hey, Guys!" Ali ran to the rest of the group "I found some Bibles in the ruins of your home, I think they can help us beat this guy." Mr. Mills stared in wonder.
"It's my Bible collection." He said. Sara wiped her tears away.
"So.... our house got destroyed.... so we could find these Bibles and save the universe? It's a miracle!
Mrs. Mills smiled at her daughter. It was great to see a smile on her face, even in the midst of tragedy. An earthquake shook the ground, and a yellow hole in the sky appeared.
"We need to stop him, now!" Kay said.
Sam pulled out his Bible from his case on his belt. "Then let's do it," Sam said and held up the Bible up to the creature. There was no effect. Kay took one and held it up. The Mills each grabbed one and held it up, and so did the Charles, even Grandfather. They each held a Bible, up, each member surrounded the big Evo type. A white glow spread throughout the Bibles, and a white stream blasted at Evomon. The creature put its hands on it's head, like it had a huge headache. It sank to its knees and let out a loud, long roar.
"It's working!" Sara cried.
"We are the ones who, even when the sun doesn't shine, even if it seems we are falling into darkness, even when we fell like we're worthless, we will trust in Christ!" Sam said.
"I know He's real, now, and so can you, Evomon!" Ali said.
"Please! I wanted to help you sporemon so much, and now I am!" Sara said.
The creature covered his eyes with his hands, trying to block the light. It was useless against God's truth. The creature roared one last time and said, "Jesus.... Christ.....is ..... LORD!" The white light shot out and the Christainity Savers had to shield their eyes. When the light subsided, four creatures, now pure with Christ's blood, stood. The Saver's sporemon ran to them, and played with them, chasing them around. They were welcoming their new creatures for Christ.
A week later, Sam and Kay looked down at Lugmon and Lightning, with tearful eyes. It was time to leave for Earth. They each hunched down and embraced their sporemon one last time.
"We'll never forget you." They said.
Sara, embraced them both. "And I'll never forget the friends who helped save our planet. I'll see you again ... someday." Sara turned and exchanged winks with her father. Something was up, but Sam and Kay, had no idea what. They turned and faced the blue portal, their ticket home. They jumped through and were back on Earth.
Sam's Dad opened the doors to the church. "It's time," he said. "But there's someone I want you two to meet." Sam and Kay went into the foyer.
"Meet the Mills family." Sam's dad said.
There they were. Sara and her mother looked beautiful in their matching blue dresses, and her dad looked dapper in his suit. The families choose the same isle.
"Dad said God wanted us to come live here. I got the Charles looking after the store. Besides, my best friend is on Earth." Sara whispered in Sam's ear. Sam looked at Sara and they both smiled. The congregation stood up to sing.
"Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch, like me.
I once was lost,
But now, I am found.
Was blind, but now I see."
Kay, Sam and Sara thought about Ali, the girl that started the whole problem, and saved the whole universe. They knew the reason God had sent them to Threa. He sent them to learn that the most unchangeable, unforgivable, person can change, when shown the mercy and love of Christ, our Savior.

The Light of His Word
continued from The Threat
Sam ran toward Evomon, a huge, black, dragon-like sporemon, hovering above what was once the four Evo type structures.
"Lugmon, Lava Blazer!" Sam shouted. Lugmon reared up, and shot a fireball 3 times larger than normal at Evomon. The fireball exploded between the Evo type's shoulder blades. It turned around, it's red eyes glowing.
"Insignificant!" it bellowed, and produced a huge ball of energy in it's palm. It shot the energy ball at Sam's feet, knocking him and Lugmon backwards.
"Are you okay?" Kay asked Sam. Sam sat up and rubbed his head.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It just disoriented me."
The others launched attack after attack at the huge sporemon, but every attack failed. Sam stood up.
"Enough!" he yelled. Something flared up inside Sam. It was the Holy Spirit. Sam closed his eyes and whispered, "Thank you for giving me strength." Sam ran to the others, Lugmon right behind. "With Christ, anything's possible, even your defeat!" Sam pointed at Evomon. "You can't even match a third of His power. Please surge through me, Jesus! Lugmon, once more! Lugmon, Lavablazer!" Lugmon jumped into the air, did a summersalt, and blasted the biggest fireball he could muster. The fireball hit Evomon right in the chest, but the powerful blast only made the creature stagger.
"You will pay for that, Human!" Evomon cried and hurled a big ball of energy at the Mill's house, destroying it.
"No!" Sara cried. Her mom put a hand on her shoulder, and her father carressed her hair.
Sam just stared wide-eyed. " I didn't mean to..."
A sound of a blast interrupted Sam, Evomon had thrown an energy ball at Ali and Catterwaler. "Auuurh!" Ali cried as she fell backwards. She looked around the Mill's estate, now a battleground. She saw something under a board. She reached out and grabbed it.
"A Bible?" Ali asked. Then she closed her eyes and a smile spread across her lips. The Light of His word would win the day.

The Threat
continued from Grandfather
Sara looked at Ali. She'd never seen Ali so happy. Her grandfather had hooked her arm in his and was swinging them both in wide arcs. Alaina rode piggyback on Grandfather's shoulders, messing up his already unruly hair. Josh and Joe took turns holding their grandfather's hand, smiling all the while. Kay was skipping along the path with Lightning, because she was too happy for the Charles family she couldn't possibly slow down to walk.
"Oh, no!" Grandfather cried as he looked toward Pithicus, being brought to the Mill's zoo on a stretcher, glowed yellow. "How could I forget today's date! It's my conference!"
Ali gulped. "Then that means...."
With a mighty heave the roof from Evol type enclosures flew off, and yellow energy poured out. Pithius was gone, and a huge, 50-foot, black dragon-like sporemon appeared hovering above where the roof had just been. Grandfather ran to the sporemon, waving his arms. "Evomon, I am your creator, and there is one who has created me. Come, and let me teach you about Him!"
The sporemon talked with a fierce, deep voice. "I am created? NO. I am too perfect to be created. I have evolved four sporemon into one sentient being, and now, once Earth is here, I will bring about the ultimate sporemon evolution! Portal Gap!" With that the sporemon spread his clawed hands and a round yellow ball appeared, in its center, an image of a city.
"That's Earth," Kay cried. "It's New York!"
Sara realized what was going on.
"He's trying to merge Threa and Earth, overstepping the boundaries God put between our worlds. This is a universal disaster!" Sara whispered.
Sam pumped his fist. "We can't give up now! We've come so far. God sent us here for a reason, and this is it. We're Christainity Savers. We have creatures for Christ. If God is for us, who can stand against us? I say we give it all we've got, we can't let Him down after He sent us on this mission." A triumphant look was in his eyes. Sam and Lugmon dashed off toward Evomon.
The others followed, yelling their battle cry all the way "CREATURES FOR CHRIST!" They all were ready to do God's will.

Grandfather
continued from Baptism
A lone, robed figure struggled up the steep, mountain slope.
"I'm too old for this." the figure muttered. His sporemon, almost invisible because it was white and blended in perfectly in with the landscape, squawked in agreement.
A cave slowly appeared, and the man knew his target was inside. He made a snowball, and threw it into the cave. A thunderous roar came from the cave and a big, brown-furred beast lumbered down the slope toward the figure.
"Peregrine! Go!" The man thrust his arm out and the bird-like sporemon soared above the Pithicus.
"GRANDPA!" the voice was familiar to the man, Alaina's. He turned around to see 7 kids running toward him. The man threw back his hood. Grandfather stood, looking at Pithicus and Peregrine's battle.
"Mega Talon!" Grandfather shouted.
The sporemon's talons on its feet began to glow and it dived towards Pithicus. The Evol type stood on hind legs and roared, but it was too late. Peregrine struck the sporemon, and it was defeated in a single blow. Grandfather turned to the Christianity Savers.
"How could my own grandchildren betray me?" he asked. Alaina shook her head.
"We didn't betray you, Grandpa, we found truth. Please, come with us. Can we be a family again?" Grandfather looked hurt.
"Truth?" He asked. "My Elisabeth, your grandmother, died! I prayed, and prayed, but did He respond? NO!"
Ali went and stood between Alaina and Grandfather. "You're my family. Even you, Sara, Sam and Kay. You guys helped me see truth, and I want to thank you for supporting me." Ali got a fierce look in her eyes. "But this is my fight. I'd like this to be between my grandpa and me."
Sam gave her a thumbs up. "It's all you! We'll be praying for you!"
"Peregrine! Beak Dive!" Grandfather said.
Up in the air, the sporemon swerved and came down at Catterwaller. It was too fast. Catterwaller stayed on his feet, but he felt he blow. Ali had to cover her face to shield her from the snow that the attack had kicked up.
Ali looked at Grandfather. "What if Gramdma's time had come? What if she's now in heaven, a better place? Catterwaller, Lightning Claw!" Catterwaller leaped up and slashed at Peregrine, but only manged to clip his tail feathers.
"Science says there is no Heaven," Grandfather replied. "Jesus was a historical figure, but he was never from God!"
Ali stood up straight and looked Grandfather in the eye. She'd always loved her grandfather. He always worked hard, and was responsible. Even now she loved him. That faithful love of Christ, that allows you to love, mixed with the bond family members shared stirred up in her.
"I've seen him Grandpa. He is real. He died for you, and loves you."
Grandfather was taken aback but quickly regained control.
"Go now! Peregrine!" Grandfather shouted and Peregrine swooped down. Ali nodded at Catterwaller. Right as it swooped, Catterwaller jumped, did a somersault, and shoved Peregrine into the snow. Catterwaller stood, lightning sparking on its left claw.
Grandfather sank to his knees. "No one has ever beaten my Peregrine before. I guess.... I was wrong."
Grandfather looked at the four children. "C'mere you four, give your new Grandpa a hug."
They all surrounded Grandfather, and engulfed him.
Sam looked at the heartwarming scene. He then looked at Kay and Sara. Big mistake. They were crying. Sam couldn't help it. He cried tears of joy. At last, the family was back again, and now the threat had ended.
Or had it? In the pens that held the Evol Sporemon, yellow energy surged. The shock waves went out across the zoo, making the animals run for cover. The date on the calender read October 9th, the day the sporemon were programed to strike.
To be continued.......
A lone, robed figure struggled up the steep, mountain slope.
"I'm too old for this." the figure muttered. His sporemon, almost invisible because it was white and blended in perfectly in with the landscape, squawked in agreement.
A cave slowly appeared, and the man knew his target was inside. He made a snowball, and threw it into the cave. A thunderous roar came from the cave and a big, brown-furred beast lumbered down the slope toward the figure.
"Peregrine! Go!" The man thrust his arm out and the bird-like sporemon soared above the Pithicus.
"GRANDPA!" the voice was familiar to the man, Alaina's. He turned around to see 7 kids running toward him. The man threw back his hood. Grandfather stood, looking at Pithicus and Peregrine's battle.
"Mega Talon!" Grandfather shouted.
The sporemon's talons on its feet began to glow and it dived towards Pithicus. The Evol type stood on hind legs and roared, but it was too late. Peregrine struck the sporemon, and it was defeated in a single blow. Grandfather turned to the Christianity Savers.
"How could my own grandchildren betray me?" he asked. Alaina shook her head.
"We didn't betray you, Grandpa, we found truth. Please, come with us. Can we be a family again?" Grandfather looked hurt.
"Truth?" He asked. "My Elisabeth, your grandmother, died! I prayed, and prayed, but did He respond? NO!"
Ali went and stood between Alaina and Grandfather. "You're my family. Even you, Sara, Sam and Kay. You guys helped me see truth, and I want to thank you for supporting me." Ali got a fierce look in her eyes. "But this is my fight. I'd like this to be between my grandpa and me."
Sam gave her a thumbs up. "It's all you! We'll be praying for you!"
"Peregrine! Beak Dive!" Grandfather said.
Up in the air, the sporemon swerved and came down at Catterwaller. It was too fast. Catterwaller stayed on his feet, but he felt he blow. Ali had to cover her face to shield her from the snow that the attack had kicked up.
Ali looked at Grandfather. "What if Gramdma's time had come? What if she's now in heaven, a better place? Catterwaller, Lightning Claw!" Catterwaller leaped up and slashed at Peregrine, but only manged to clip his tail feathers.

Baptisim
continued from Deal or No Deal?
"And in the name of-" Ali Charles was submerged into river water, muffling the words. She came up again, aided by Mr. Mill's strong arm. Sam, Kay, Sara and her brothers and sister, applauded. Ali beamed. She out of the water, dripping and laughing.
"It's really cool they all wanted to be baptized," Kay said " I guess they really have changed." Kay went down the river bank to congratulate the four siblings. Sam was about to join her when Sara grabbed his arm.
"Um, Sam can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Sure, Sara."
"What you said on the night we had spaghetti, that I was a great friend, what did you mean by that?"
Sam thought for a moment and answered "You're one of my best friends, because you're like a sister," Sam looked at Josh, giving Ali a hug. "My definition of a great friend is someone who is always beside you, helping you through life. A friend is a comrade." Sara smiled. "Plus, sense you're around my age, you can kind of tell me how girls around my age think about boys like me." Sam added.
Sara laughed. " It's a good thing I can tell when you're kidding!"
Suddenly a roar rang out.
"It's coming from the mountains," Mr. Mills said, looking to at a mountain. "But what are those two brown things?"
Josh knew a once. "The first one is the fourth Sporemon, but the second one...."
Alaina finished for him "Grandpa!"

Deal or No Deal?
continued from:A New Battle
Ali flinched as Josh slammed the front door behind him.
"Shhhhh! This is between us siblings, can you please keep it down?"
Ali almost rolled her eyes. No, don't, she thought. That was the old Ali, not the new one. She'd never win them to Christ that way.
Joe shrugged, "Sorry."
Ali went a little ahead of her brothers and sister and stood ready. Her siblings did the same.
"The deal is: if you three can beat me, I'll gladly go home with you." The other three children burst out laughing.
"All... three of us... at once," Alaina gasped in between breaths. "No one can beat us three to one, Ali. We have to believe in ourselves, so you can come back."
Ali shook her head. "It's not just about teamwork, or yourself. I've gotten stronger through Jesus, and He is my power. He is one I believe in. I've seen with my own eyes what He can do."
"Amafist, Super Punch!" Josh called. The big purple sporemon punched the ground sending a big crack though the ground toward Catterwaller. Catterwaller leaped nimbly over it, and silhouetted against the moonlight, came down toward Amifist. Amifist raised it's hands to block, and claws scratched harmlessly.
"Amifist's hands are made of solid Amethyst. You can't hurt him!" Josh said. Suddenly a huge fireball whipped through the air, striking Catterwaller. Magmine and T-Dex stood side-by-side. "Double Blaster!" Alaina and Joe cried. The two sporemon unleashed a two fireballs, that met and became a new super-huge fireball.
"Ali!" Sara, Sam, and Kay ran over. They knew better then to get in the thick of things. They each held hands and bowed their heads.
With friends praying for me, Ali thought, and Jesus' strength, I won't lose!
Catterwaller dodged the fireball. Both Ali and Catterwaller were tiring out. They breathed hard.
"They're getting tired! Strike for our sister, we want her back!" Josh cried.
Amifist, Magmine, and T-Dex all dove at catterwaller at once.
"Lighting shield!!! Lord, show them your light!" Ali yelled.
A yellow shield incased Catterwaller protecting it from the attack.
"Look!" Alaina pointed.
Ali had a glow around her, pure and white. There was some thing in her eyes. The attack faded and the three sporemon lay, defeated. Then someone stepped from behind Ali. He was dressed in white. The three seemed to realize something, and bowed to the figure.
"Welcome home." He said, smiling.
Then they began to change. Josh's skull on his shirt changed to a cross, Joe's mohawk flattened, and Alaina's shirt covered her waist.
Sam smiled. "Hands in,everyone!" they put their hands in a circle, one on top of another. The new team had formed!
A gnarled fist banged the control panel. "No! They've betrayed me! I guess the last sporemon is MY responsibility!"

A New Battle?
Continued from Spaghetti
"Ali?" "Ali!"
Ali knew that voice, but couldn't place it.
"Grow away" she grumbled sleepily.
Alaina touched Ali's lamp on her bedside table, or at least what worked like a lamp on Thrae.
Ali sat up. "What's a matter?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
She looked at the dim room. Ali, Josh and Joe were standing by her bedside.
"We've come to take you home, Ali." Josh said.
Thoughts of her broken home, and her father she never even knew swirled in her head.
"What?"
In an instant she realized that they had been pretending! They weren't interested in Christ, they had come to take her back to her grandfather's!
"I have a deal to make, guys." Ali said, going over and petting Caterwaller, to get him to wake up.
*******
"You're a great friend, Sara."
That thought kept hounding Sara Mills, as she lay staring at her ceiling. She knew she couldn't sleep. Not even reading Tears of a Dragon by Brian Davis on her new Kindle (or what they had like a kindle on Threa.) wouldn't help.
The front door slamming interrupted her thoughts. She went over to the window. Ali and Caterwaller stood battle-ready. As were Josh, Joe, Alaina and their sporemon. Something was going on. She had to tell her parents!

Spaghetti
continued from: Together again?
The Mills family and Charles were eating dinner together in their dining room.
"Wow, Mrs. Mills," Sam said, "this spaghetti is really good."
"Thank you. Kay told me about this earth dish, and I figured I'd try. Of course, Sara did most of the cooking." Mrs. Mills motioned to Sara.
"I'm not that good..." Sara said sheepishly.
"Are you kidding? This stuff is the best. I bet with Apatobront, you get all the herbs you need to cook with," Ali said.
"Some of them. Thank you," Sara explained.
Sam didn't know what was bothering her. She had been quiet all afternoon.
Suddenly, Alaina slammed her fork down. "I just don't know what happened, Ali! You're so.... changed. You're the happiest I've seen you. What happened?" Alaina asked.
Ali smiled " An amazing, wonderful thing happened to me. I was saved by Christ."
Alaina asked about Him, and how to get saved, just like Grandfather had planned to get Ali back. Even though Ali was worse than they feared.
**************
While the commotion with Ali and Alaina was going on, Sara motioned to Sam to follow her to the Sporemon pens out back.
"I don't know how to thank you for saving me from faling off that cliff ..." she started.
Sam replied "Don't worry. Jesus is the one who really saved you.I followed you because I felt you needed help. God has always spoken to me with feelings."
They rounded a hill and saw an awesome, golden sunset. Sara remembered the night that they had teamed up. She remembered she said something about draining the worries of the day. She would try to untangle her mind.
"It's beautiful." She whispered.
"Yea," Sam agreed. "I'm glad I have such a good friend like you, Sara."
Sara smiled, and as they walked back up to the house, she felt lighter. Maybe with the other Charles, they could help their Grandfather see the Light of Christ.

Together again?
Finally continued from Reassurance.
Three kids raced though the forest chasing a giant green dragonfly.
"Apatabront, Tree Stomp!" Sara said. Apatabront leaped ahead and pushed its front feet into the ground. Again trees, all in a row, like a staircase, came up from the ground. They were headed toward Drafly, but it swerved, and went sideways.
"Yes!" Sam cried, happy that the move worked. Then he knew something wasn't right, and raced after Sara in the direction the Sporemon dodged.
In a small clearing on the edge of a cliff, Sara and Apatabront stood ready. Drafly knew he was caught, but wouldn't give up without a fight. It beat its wings so fast it stirred up the wind, pushing Sara off the cliff!
"Lord, HELP!" Sara yelled.
A hand grabbed hers. Sam was bending over the cliff, holding on to Sara to keep her from falling.
"I got a feeling you needed help, so I followed you. God works in mysterious ways, I guess," Sam said, pulling Sara to safety.
"Thanks," she said.
A loud meowing brought them back to their mission. Caterwaller's claws flashed in the sunlight, and smashed into the Evol. It went down, but Lighting's Battery Recharge move finished it.
"Are you okay?" Ali asked.
"I'm fine, thanks to Sam."
Kay ran over.
"Yes, I'm fine!" Sara said, not even giving Kay a chance to ask. They all laughed. Then something in the bushes made a sound.
"Lugmon-" Sam never got a chance.
"Wait, don't! We're on your side!"
"I know that voice," Ali said. "Alaina?"
Three kids stepped out from the thicket. One had a backwards baseball cap, one had a skull on his shirt, and one had a very short shirt.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ali asked.

Reasurrance
"What do mean the next stop is Hell?!" Ali yelled. All she knew, was she had to get to SM Labs to tell her brothers and sister about Christ, so she hopped on this weird bus. What was happening?
"The way I see it," the driver said, not even taking his eyes off the road. "You know deep in your heart, you haven't changed one bit. And Hell is where you go if you don't believe Jesus is Christ." The driver turned to her and gave her a grin that sent shivers up her spine. She and Catterwaller huddled in a corner afraid to do anything.
Suddenly a bright light shone in front of the driver and the bus was cut in two, as if by a sword. Angels came down and surrounded Ali. Then she herd a voice that made her heart leap. "STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"
Then Ali awoke. She covered her face with her hands, then took them away. She was safe in the Mill's guest bedroom. She was so confused. Had she really changed?
****
"Wake up!" Alaina yelled and went back and forth pounding on her brother's doors. Josh's door opened first.
"All right, all right. What is it?" he asked.
Alaina pounded on Joe's door until he woke up
"It's 2 a.m. Sis. What's wrong?"
"Ali is missing!"
*****
Ali stood on the hill behind the Mill's house, in her pajamas. She looked in wonder at the myriad of stars. "I don't know what to do, Lord. My family doesn't know you, but they need you. I can't go back. They'll never accept me now. I need.... reassurance." A cool night breeze blew around her, and in that moment she knew everything would work out. She went back to bed, dreaming about the happy family she hoped they could be again.
