Estelle pointed to a screen in the back of the van. "That's where we're headed."

     On the screen was a map of the Arctic Circle, and at the center of this map Trevor saw what looked to be a huge paint spill.

     "That's Naturia," Estelle said. "It's the Earth's newest continent. It's also an entity all its own. She calls herself Mother Naturia."

     "That's where we're going?" Niki asked.

     Estelle nodded. "That's where the last portal to Domitika is."

     "Domitika is where Silveria gets her energy," Trevor said. "Silveria's made of the energy from Domitika. Is that what the problem is? Silveria's back?"

     Estelle put a finger to her lips. "Shhh. We haven't heard from Silveria since you slipped that solidifier in her mouth, and that's the way we'd like to keep it."

     "It's got something to do with Adam Forwarder," Niki said. "That's where you all sent Adam Forwarder three years ago, to Domitika, right?"

     "I threw him into the portal like he was a football," Estelle said.

     "He's coming back?" Trevor asked.

     Noel nodded. "Through the portal at the center of Naturia."

     "And we're going to go get him?" Niki asked, "and he'll be coming out at the center of a now living continent that's also our enemy?"

     "That's about the size of it, yeah."

     Shawnacy slapped Estelle's shoulder and pointed to the navigation screen.

     "Someone's after us," Brock said.

     "It's Klawmaker," Noel said. "It's Klawmaker and the Silvers. I'll bet you anything."

     "It can't be the Silver Scorpion," Brock said. "I smashed her to pieces back at the warehouse."
