Chapter 8: short letter.
Drake specified to Croc and Max, where they need floating, and they of rowing the oars. The morning was sunny, though and little bit foggy. - Sorry, I have told a lie to you. Jigsaw peace is not on the chilli island. - Said casket. - What!? What for we there are floating!? - Was indignant Max. - Don`t worry, my friends, we need floating to the chilli island a little later. - What for? - You understand this later. - Well, and where this jigsaw peace? - On the crocodile island. - But is blown up! - Yes, this peace is on the bottom of sea with many fragments of the island. - And what we need doing? - Oh, my God, offcourse search the peace. - In the million fragments? - Yes. - It is impossible! - Do not worry, my friend has told, that he take care of this. - Who is your friend? - Is a secret. - And where was crocodile island? - Is near the chilli island. row, and I shall tell you, when stop. - Okay. Maybe, you say - who is your friend? - If i tell this, he kill me. - Friendly friend... - With smile said Max. Not long time they were floating forward. Soon, they seen many stones and fragment of a beach. - Really it... - has not finished Croc. - Correct, this crocodile island. - Has continued casket. - When i need to start dive? - Minute later. - And where i need swim to find this? - When you dive, you start swim automaticly. Is like hypnosis. - Sounds fantastically, but, after the speaking casket i can belive to all things... - Okay, now you near this... Start dive. - Said a magic casket to Croc. - And me? - Asked Max. - No, is job for Croc. Some time Max argued, but has surrendered. The friends have wished to Croc good luck and he has dived into warm, dark blue water. Under water hapended something not clear. The fragments of boats, houses were visible, splinters of stones - looking really devastating. Croc not feeling this "hypnosis" has swim more deeply. And, when he swim more deepely, beginning to press pressure - rather unpleasant feeling, and this feeling was more and more. And Croc has appeared practically on the bottom. He swimed forward, because he feels, that he need swim here. " It is hypnosis " - Think Croc. On way, he see many different fishes - large and many small, with a big group swimed not known - where. The bottom was a many laying stones. On the sly among stones was darkly - green color - Croc was floating further and further. On the bottom was cold, because he swim deepely and deepely. Happend something terrible: he swim too long and air beginnings come to end. Croc understood: if he don`t take air, he die. But he can`t doing this, because he was under hypnosis and can`t swim in other sides. Sometimes finished, and he feeling, than he hasn`t air to rise upward. Croc begin choke ... And at last, Croc looked downwards and see two things - grey jug, on which middle the strip, on which was made the marks of a question and at the left - bottle from a green glass. Croc take jigsaw peace from the jug. It was green - blue peace of the puzzle. And, he take the bottle. After this, Croc begin try to swim upward. But he hasn`t air and understood, that is imposible. He prepare to die... And, unexpectedly, Croc feeling: something strong has struck to the legs, he has jumped up... And in the following instant, already was on a surface. At first, Croc hardly breathed. He see a boat, and behind it a small island in a fog. Max dived from the sea and said: - Croc! Are you okay? - Yeah... Is you has pushed out me from the water? - Yes! You swim too long! You have beaten all records of swiming! - Thanks! If not saved me, i`m choke! - Forget it... You find jigsaw peace? - Yes. - Thats wonderful! Hurry, swim to the Drake`s and Heman`s boat! Minute later and brothers reached the boat. Heman, with by impatience has asked: - Well, found the peace? - Yes, and not only. Near the jigsaw pace I have found this bottle. - Maybe - whether, who can has thrown this out... - for fun said Max. - I don`t think so - Seriously said Croc and begin looking on the peace - Hmmm... I think, in this peace drawed fragment of the green island. We can see all this picture, when collect all peaces. I have found this in a jug. This jug was not closed and filled by the wter. This piece of a puzzle is made from the cardboard, and this place, where drawed picture made from paper. You understand, what it means? The piece of a puzzle was throw here recently. Because, if it laid under water more longer - it inflatted. - Is very interesting, but maybe, you open the bottle? - Said Drake. Croc has lifted a bottle and with some effort pull out a fuse. He rotated the bottle and has poured out the water. He looked on the bottle, and by he`s long claw pulled out an old looking paper. More, than half part of the text was washed by water. - A short letter! - Has exclaimed Max. - And notice, half wet. Water in bottle have filled recently, and if this bottle lind with water inside mare longer, that it would become impregnated in the paper and read this be no possible. But this not happend, because this bottle, like the jigsaw peace placed under water recently. - Plese, read this text! - Okay, listen: " If you find this letter, give it to Croc! Croc, is written by your parents! Now we on the mobopolis island. Please, swim here... " - This is the end, washed off by water further. - Our parents alive! - Has exclaimed Max. Croc too was delighted, but then thoughtfully has told: - You don`t find something strange in this message? - Um... no. - In this letter our parents say only about me, and no one word about Max. Strange, realy? - Yes. - I Think this wrote crystalic baron, but when he wrote it, he don`t know about Max. And placed the bottle under water recently. He need, than we be ohn the mobopolis island. - Is not possible, because if he go out from me, i am observe this. - Ah, yes... Some time Croc thinking and after this said: - Why in a bottle was lot of water? Why the bottle was near the jigsaw peace? - Maybe, the bottle so long laid at the bottom, than water there was filled? - No. Water was poureded in this bottle, because with the water is weighs more bigger and falls on the bottom of the ocean. - Your parents knew, where is jigsaw peace? - Offcourse not. This letter may be maded by this crystalic baron. - But this baron "sits" in me! - Let's check up, who wrote this letter - man, or woman. Who can define it? - I! - Unexpectedly said Drake. - I can do id. Give me a letter. Croc has given to Drake a letter. After short viewing, he has told: - This wrote a man. - Man... Maybe, this wrote my father and maybe, this doing crystalic baron. Do you know, where is the mobopolis island? - I know, near here. - We shall float there tomorrow. - You planed to search there your parents? But how? - We shall attach the announcements with their faces, you remember, how they look? - Yes. Ìàêñ has told: - What unpleasant situation. We understand, than one person know, who is the crystalic baron. This person is casket. But he hiddig this! Say, why you when we was in Heman`s house say, than we need float on the chilli island? - Asked Max. - You know, i`m need be on the chilli island - answered casket - because in this island i need to find the doctor. Doctors on the chilli island can let me out from this casket. But i remeber, than one my "friend" asked me to tell you about this peace. - You can installed in the casket, like crystalic baron in Drake? - No, this "crystalic baron", how you named him installed me in this casket. - And what he`s thrue name? - I don`t know, but he said, than he named: "Secret sentineil"! - Why he installed you into casket and why you agreed? - This is very interesting story. Once in evening... - Aaa! - Loudly has shouted Drake. All at once have looked at him. Drake`s eyes were white, the mouth, are open and he did not move at all. - What happened with him? - In horror has asked Croc. - Do not touch him, he has fainted - Answered casket. - What we need to doing? - Hopelessly asked Max. - Immediately floating to the chilli island and show him to doctor. The friends are rowing, that was of forces and saw before itself island, similar faster on the large mountain with the stretched bridges. - Secret sentineil does not want to be mentioned - Silently said magic casket.

Chapter 9: chilli island.
They have reached the coast of the chilli island and quickly, not adhering a boat, stand on the ground. - So, - Begin Heman - seems, I already see the house of the doctor. See, house with a wooden signboard, on which the red cross is drawn? Hurry, go there and help Drake. Croc has taken Drake and has turned his white eyes to the neck, for not involve attention, and Max has taken casket. They fast runed into this small house. On the way they seen many interesting looking passers. The brothers have put their "cargo" on the wooden floor. Croc not for long looking on the doctor. He was inhobitant of this island and very similar to those passers, who went along the street. The doctor was highly, all covered by darkly green wool. But near the large eyes there are no wool and was visible orange colored leather. He has long snout, covered by the leathure, like near the eyes. On the end of the snout he has small black nose. He was dressed in hat with a red cross and in a white dressing gown. He has a large hands, a little similar to wings, but it is a little on less, than at the passers. The doctor has asked: - Hello. My name is Roldkiff. What can i do for you? - Something happend with this gobbo. - Is a faint? - Maybe. - If this is faint, i think this gobbo is dead. Gobbos are very susceptible to faints. - And you can not help!? - Hmmm... Wait, one second... Doctor has checked up the pulse of the Drake, quickly has looked something on the shelfs and at last, has taken therefrom small vessel with darkly - green blue liquid. He has returned back, and hold this liquid near the nose of Drake. Soon, Drake began to come back consciousness. At last, he asked: - Where am i!? - At the doctor`s. - And why you have taken me in this place? Croc and Max told to Drake, what happened with him, when he fainted. The doctor listened this too, with interest and when the story ended, unexpectedly has told: - Is realy happened with you? Though I did not hear all about your mystical adventures, but I can to you tell, that this "sentineil", who installed in Drake, specially has "turn off" him to distract attention from a theme, on which you spoke. Is was not a faint, is transe. I, understood, than this not faint, because he allive ad give him "anti thrance" medicine and don`t mistaken . - And can you pull out the spirit from this casket? - A... allright - the doctor having smiled, looked on the casket. He again has looked on shelfs, for that and has taken therefrom another medicine, liquid with violet color. - Please, open a lind. - said doctor to casket. Casket has opened his "mouth" and the doctor has poured into him inside this violet medicine. Magic casket begin jump up, and then happend something very strange. Casket quickly has scattered and from it has appeared high chillian - inhobitant of this island. He had red wool, as against the doctors, he don`t have wool near the eyes. He has long snoup, but small nose and violet eyes. He`s arms looking like the doctor`s, but more big. - Hi, Chill - Said doctor. By this words Croc understood, than doctor and Chill, who go out from the casket are friends. For confirm his theory, he asked: - You are friends? - Offcourse. - Has answered Chill. - But... How? How he left this casket!? - surprised Drake. - Very easy, by my medicine. Croc said one interesting idea: - Maybe, you can give this medicine to Drake and Secret Sentineil, like the Chill, go out from the Drake? - Ingenious idea! - Has approved Max. But the doctor has answered: - I am afraid, it is impossible. - Why? - At first, I do not have this medicine more. At second, the spirit of Chill did not resist, but the spirit of the sentineil can resist and all will fail. At third, this Secret Sentineil can do all, what he want with Drake. He can kill him, before than he drink the medicine. No, it is impossible. - Very sad. Max said to Chill: - Maybe, you tell us now, what want this sentineil? - I can`t. I don`t know and if i begin talk with you about him, he can kill us. You see, what he doind with Drake. - What we need to doing now?- Asked Heman. - Offcourse float to the mobopolis, like wroten in letter and i think find another jigsaw peaces. - How you has made the way to the baron Dante`s castle? - Not appeased Max. - I already have explained you, that i can`t talk about this story. Croc understood, than he can`t find out something new and has said goodbye to Chill and Roldkiff. When they go to street, Heman said: - If we swim to the mobopolis island tomorow, we need to find cheap inn. I have not enough crystals. - Yeah, we give all of the crystals to Seimour. - Don`t worry, i have some crystals. - said Heman. - I know, where is the cheap inn, because i already was on this island. - Has told Drake. - Excellent, go and show us, where is it. When Drake lead they, Croc said: - I think, this doctor know something about the secret sentineil too. He know, than we come to him with this casket and prepare only one medicine and Chill is his friend. - But Chill don`t know to what doctor we go. - Thats truth. Here there can be three cases. First: he forgotten to ask us, that we came to this doctor, but it hardly. Second: he knew, that we shall go to this doctor, because is closest to the coast place. And third variant, most probable: he knew, than this medicine can be only at this doctor, because he beforehand has asked him to prepare this medicine. - You are genius! Who learned you to reason? - Was surprised Max. - Maybe i such from nature... They go into the hotel, named: "Chilland". When they go into they number, they seen floor, without carpet. And they seen round glass, laying on a floor and, when Drake told, they understand, than this is table... Very poverty inn. Croc said to Max: - We can`t more seat here, let`s by some food. - I go too! - said Drake. - Is not present Drake, it is better to not go! Recently you have gone through a faint. Better, stay in number. Max seen, than Heman sit on the bed and asked: - You go with us? - Nope, i am too old... - You has only fourty years! - noticed Drake. - Fourty six... - Heman, maybe you can give us some crystals? - Take... Thirty crystals. Another leave for livelihood. They taken crystals, left the inn and Croc said: - Hey, Max! I have great idea! Now Drake don`t see us and sentineil, who installed in him don`t see us too. We hurry need to go to the doctor and ask him, what happened! - Great! Run to the doctor!

They quickly come to the doctor, who talk with Chill and Max said: - We said to Drake, than we go to the shop and tell him to wait us in the hotel. Sentineil don`t hearing us. Maybe now you told, what happened with you? Chill told: - Okay, but i don`t know too much... One time, someone knocked in my door. When i open, i see creature, very similar on the baron Dante, but made from crystals. He said, than he named: "Secret Sentineil" and offered to me a one bargain: if he installed me in... - he pick up first, what he see - my casket - if he install me in this casket, will present it to baron Dante, stolen me and return here. But, if stole me don`t him, but one crocodile (he said, than this crocodile is he`s slave), i need to told him stupid things about the jigsaw peaces... - Wait, but why this secret sentineil installed you in the casket? If he need, than we find this jigsaw peace, he may put in the casket short letter in witch was wroten all about this peace? - I don`t know, maybe he is crazy... He said, than if i agreed, he pay me one million crystals! He give me only two hundreed crystals and said, than pay me another, when i complete this mission. And he told, than i can go out from the casket in the anyone moment. (later, i understood than this is lie.) - And you agreed? - No, but he be angry and forcibly has install me in the casket. I began ask him to let me out, but this scoundrel closed casket with me by the key and i can`t speak. This sentinail go out from my house, (with me in the casket, offcourse) and go to this doctor, Roldkiff - my friend, and ask him to prepare this medicine, when Roldkiff answered why, he told all (with lie, offcourse.) When we float to the dark island, he said: "see, i prepare this medicine for you, when you return." And if i told about the jigsaw peace to crocodile, he pay me this money - repeat him. When he come to the baron Dante`s castle, he give casket with me to dantini and said, than this is present. When this dantini bring me to the baron Dante, he said than he don`t need this junk, and than he kill this dantini, if in the next time he don`t ask, who gives this present ant ask him to bring this casket in the dungeon of defright. A the next night, one dantini stole the gold key of my casket and on the next day you are coming. Thats all. In witch hotel you live now? - In the hotel "Chilland", in number thirteen. - Bad number... And, maybe you tell me, what happened with you? Croc and Max quickly has told all history, and then have left, having referred that is too long they do not come back in hotel and Drake can begin to worry, and together with him and one person... Brothers quickly go into the shop, buy the bag, for put there some things, like jigsaw peace and buy the pod of peace... When they return in the inn, Drake asked: - Where are you been too long? - Choosed the bag... - Answer Max. A little time they talking and go sleep. At the morning, Croc wake up wery late, and see: the beds was empty - where is Max, Drake and Heman? He go to the street and see they. They talked with Chill. - Ah, hello, "longsleeper"... - Said Chill - i give to your friends eighty crystals, maybe you can use this in your adventure... - Eighty crystals!? - Surprised Croc. - Yes: soon i will be a milionaire. - But how? - Has asked Drake. - Ahhh... this is a long history... - answered Chill, and say good - bye to the friends. - Ssory, but i don`t swim with you, i stay in this island. I realy not like traveling. - You realy think so? - Yes. After the small talk, they said good luck to Heman, seat to the boat and swim to the mobopolis island. - This Chill is suspicious... - Said Drake. - Very. - Has agreed Croc...

Chapter 10: Kibray.
On the mobopolis island lived creatures, very similar on the gobbos, but they named mobbos. They looking like gobbos, but more higher, they wool is red, and many of them wearing the clotches. Some mobbos don`t wearing the clothes, more often such mobbos live in villages. One village has very non standard name: "behindmobopolis". In this village lived one mobbo, named Kibray. He is teen years old, he be short and has violet eyes. His parents - Lily and John was very strange mobbos. By unknown reasons they forbade to build new house near them house. But, offcourse, their objection was are ignored for the reason, that they haven`t any rights for this. The house of the Kibray have two exits, first - basic and second - stock. And most interesting, that stock exit placed in the Kibray`s room. And more strange, than in the Kibray`s room placed another thing - cellar, the lid of witch allways closed by the key. When Kibray asked, that it for and why it allways closed, his parents constantly shirked a question. The life of the Kibray was very monotonous and it happened so, that he all sat at home. One of his favourite occupations was looking in a window, that he at this moment and doing. The time approached to evening and the sky looked very interestingly - it simultaneously was dark and orange. The clouds was white and it not looks too gloomy. Someone knocked in the door. Kibray has run to the door, because interested, who is coming. Kibray`s parents opened door first and on threshold the seen one mobbo - old woman. She came to them not first time. She looks that: tired eyes, with wrinkles on the face and dressed in old sweater. In hands she held small packade. - What do you need? - Asked father of Kibray. - Ooooh... What long way i has passed to find the normal buyers. Maybe, you want to buy my fresh apples - is not expensive! One apple - three crystals! - Three crystals? Well, come, show us your apples. Elderly woman has come in the house and has stand before a table to show contents of packade - apples. The parents of Kibray already wanted to choose an apple, but suddenly have heard sounds, like metal knocks about ground. They quickly have run out on a street having understood, that is knock of shovels, so the workers dig out foundation pit for a new house. On beginning parents became angry on the workers, then have told, that will pay them twice more. Kibray go to the street too, to look at this dialogue. But parents return and buy apples. The evening begining. Kibray understood, than he want to drink water and go to the kitchen. He take the bottle with water and swallow it two times. He return to his room and sudenly has wanted to sleep. And is so strong, that he is direct to the bed now and instantly has fallen asleep. He has woken up late at night, he not know, why, most likely, from some sounds. The sowing on a bed, Kibray has found out one strange thing: the carpet was displaced in the left side, and the hatch, witch his parents forbade open - was opened. He with curiosity looked to the opened cover, and decided to be lowered in this hatch and find out, what happened. The cellar was dark, on a floor laid crystals. Kibray in complete bewilderment went accurately, that no step on them. Further, at the end of a long corridor he has noticed a thick, iron door, which was open, and behind it a room, which was filled up by crystals and bags with them. Kibray has come in this room and suddenly - the heavy iron door was closed and he heard a gnashing of a key. Kibray frightened looked on a door. Five seconds he stood not moving, and then has rushed to a door, but it no open. He knock in door, try to open, call for help, but no - the door not open. He has sat down on a bag with crystals and some time sat there is immovable. He try understood, why the door was closed, what is this room, who closed the door and why the cellar was opened. Kibray don`t sleep this night - after such be impossible to sleep. In four`o clock with Kibray happened something very unexpected: he heard familiar sound of metal, then the ground began slowly strewed, and at last has fallen to his head. Having shaken off, Kibray has understood two things: that it is the workers, which dig the foundation pit and that, why his parents forbade to build here house: because they afraid than their treasures, will be found. Interestingly, why they stored this treasures here, why is so much also most interesting - who has locked him? Kibray take one bag with crystals and has got out from the hole, witch digged the workers for the house. The workers were too surprised for ask the questions. Kibray has knocked to the door of his house, but nobody not open. " The parents sleep " - thinking him. Kibray noticed unfamiliar traces, leads to the another door to Kibray`s room. He try to open this door, but is was closed too. Kibray was wery curious, and he want to find out, where lead these traces and he has gone by them. He went wery long, and so long, that he understood that he can go back only by this traces, because he may forget the way. He already has reached up some unfamiliar city. " This is Mobbopols! " - understood Kibray. Keen by unfamiliar landscapes he went further and further. At first grey clouds were gradually darken, and then has watered a rain. Kibray go faster - he need reach the place in wich lead the traces, before it will be washed off. Two things prevented Kibray. At first: the rain almost has washed off traces, and in second: it be crossed by millions other traces. One minute later and he don`t see this traces. Kibray understood, than he can`t find way back. At first Kibray felt hopelessly, and then has accepted decision - stop in hotel, take number, learn way to his village and return. But where he can find money for the hotel? He remain, than he pick - up one bad with crystals from the cellar. He open this bag and seen one strange thing, laying near the crystals. Is been small, yellow - green jigsaw piece...

Chapter 11: the giant.
Croc, Max and Drake do all, what they can. They have pasted pictures with his parents and adres of they hotel to almost all poles of the mobbopolis, but they parents don't responded. They don't know, what they can do anything else, for find his parents. Friends noticed, than mobbopolis island more advanced, than gobbo's islands. For example, hotel in which Croc on this island been more better, than inn of yellow island. Design be very similar on the yellow island`s hotel, but here been more free places. The room, offcourse not too cheaply cost, and therefore the friends almost did not have too much crystals. They planed live in this room, near the mounth, because they know, than parents may responded not very soon. After two weeks, when they sitting in they room, Croc said: - I'm afraid, than we may no find our parents in this island. We know, than they on this island only because read the message in the bottle. Who know, who wrote this? Is may be Secret Sentineil. But if he done that, what for? I can't understand too many things in this adventure. And nothing new don't happened with us. We only seat in hotel and wait. - Maybe something new happened soon... - lazy answered Drake. - Maybe... - I can`t waiting here more, let's walk in this island! - said Max. Offcourse all with pleasure have agreed. They leave room and go in reception. Here Croc noticed one thing: mobbo, with violet eyes talking with mobbo from reception: - And it will cost... sixteen crystals. - Sixteen crystals!? But is too much. I don`t have too many. - I nothing can help you, please, leave! This mobbo with sad face moving to exit, but Croc said him: - Wait! - Mobbo frightenedly turned - How many crystals you have? - You want to plunder me? - with fear ask him. - Offcourse no! I only want add my crystals to yours and thats been enough for your room. How many crystals you need? - Hm... Wait a minute, i shall count. Mobbo got a bag and suddenly - has pulled out a peace of a puzzle. - Oh my God, what is this?! - asked surprised Croc. - Is... - ...The jigsaw peace! - has continued Croc. - Yes... But, what it for? - Is a long story... But where you find this? - Is a long story too... . - Do you know Secret Sentineil? - No. Who is him? - Wait, maybe we pay for your number, and after this telling all, what happened with us. So, how many crystals you have? - Forty. - Yes, and i have another twenty. Croc give crystals to mobbos and said: - My name is Croc, this gobbo is Drake, this is Max - my brother. And what`s your name? - Kibray. When Kibray paid, mobbos give him a key from his number. - What is your number? - Asked him Croc. - Fourteen. - you be live in a neighbourhood with us! - Your is thirteenth? Bad number... They come to door of Kibray's room and he open it by key. - Well, maybe now you tell, why you need jigsaw peace? - Has asked Kibray. Friends tell him his story, but withoud the detales, the intrerested to heard the Kibray's story. - This is mysterious story, what i ever been heard! - Maybe now you can tell us, what happened with you? - Okay... Kibray tell them what happened with him yesterday. -... I have gone and looking on the traces. It leads me to the mobbopolis, along from my village. When i understood, than is too far from my village, i tried to go back, but rain are started and it clear all the traces. I can`t find the place, where i can sleep and i have gone to the first got house. I knocked in the door and mobees, who lived in this house open it (later i understood, than she named Zoe). She and her husband James have allowed me to sleep in they house, but they don`t know, where is "behindmobopolis". At morning i asked another mobbos, where is my village, but no one don`t know, where is it. - You try to buy map? - Yes, i tried, but this village don`t showed on the map. And after morning happened something unexpected - Zoe expelled me from the house. - And you don`t know, why? - Yes. - And after all you go in this hotel? - Off course. That`s all, what happened with me. - This history is too twist, happened too many magical and fantastic things and we don`t know only one - why? Why secret sentineil doo all this senseless things? - Has told Croc. - I thing, we find out it, only when collect all four jigsaw peaces. Now we have only two. What do you think, maybe combine it? - Good idea. - Croc has pick up peaces on the bottom of bag. He combined two jigsaws. - Hmmm... What drawed on this peaces? Looks like an island. - Maybe, green? - No, look on the right side. Similar on the white island, but left looking like green. Very strange... That's how they have got acquainted with Kibray. It is usual, when they go for a walk, they left Kibray to watch, whether will be what messages about their parents, or on the contrary. In mobbopolis friends have seen many interesting things. For example, they have found shop, in which the flying barrels were on sale. To barrels were applied: a helmet, gloves, two barrels, as the turbines were attached to central and, on the main barrel were special handles to keep. Behind there was a paper, under which there was a powder for flyng. And it cost only teen crystals - as much, how many them remained. At first it seemed strange, why it so cheap, but then have understood, that it's for rent. Is been very interesting to fly on the barrel and they buy it. To learn, how to fly was so difficultly, but they have instructions. Croc already wanted to show Drake, how to use this barrel, but suddenly has noticed, that the ground shakes slightly. At first he has thought, that it seemed to him, but when it happened in second time, he said to Drake: - I think... The ground are shakes slightly. But Drake don't answered nothing. Then Croc has looked back and has noticed, that Drake does not move. The first, what Croc think is than this "Sentineil" something doing with him. However ground began to be shaked stronger and Croc at last see the object on witch looked Drake. From the corner the giant essence has run out. This giant looks that: he consisting from hurricane or wind, in him been many spining bushes and sticks. His eyes looking, like two spheres of red colour. And this essence came nearer with rather great speed. Croc already wanted to escape, when has noticed, that Drake does not move - probably so strong there was a surprise. Croc quickly has taken the friend and has hidden between houses. At once - he seen, how this essence has passed nearly. After that, Croc is fast, holding the friend, runed in the hotel, in his number . Fortunately, he there has seen Kibray And Max, and by everything, they however looked a little surprise. - Are you allright? - asked Max. - Yes... There we have seen... - There there was an earthquake? - No, there was... You will not believe - giant! After pair of minutes of silence, Max said: - I think, I read about this giant in the newspaper...

Chapter 12: the "DMS" service.
Croc was surprised and asked Max: - Read in the newspaper? - Yes. There writen, that everyone began to name this giant "Hurricanoos", because he consists from hurricane. - I think, is not all, what wroten about him. What else? - Wroten about the service called "DMS", it tryed to struggles with Hurricanoos and in general, with all unlawful... Maybe, and us there to enter? - In no event! - Said Drake. - We already has too many problems - it is necessary to find two another peace of the puzzle and thus, we not know, what for. - It is valid, - has agreed Croc. - firstly we need to find out, who is the "Sentineil". What there wroten else? - Nothing interesthing... They think, than Hurricanoos may be created by the most famous villian - Ralph. - Is sounds strange... What for this Ralph need too create this essence and how he can do it? - I don`t know, nothing not wroten about this and I can only assume, what they means. This villian may create Huricanoos only by using the black magic, but is more similar on the our "Sentineil", eh? - Agreed with you, Max, he may be created by him, for killing us, you see not casually he has visited our town. All others was agreed with Max too. When they all go to his beds, Croc still don`t sleep for a long time, he did not take off from a head this Hurricanoos. For morning, when they have woken up, Croc has taken an interest: - Kibray, and where there is that house, from which you recently have banished? Simply, I still can not understand, why... how she named?... Zoe has banished you, would be desirable though that - that to find out. - Why not, i can show you whre is this house. I don`t forget this, because it placed near our hotel. - With pleasure come with you. - Said Max They all send from hotel. The morning, as well as always on this island was so foggy, and the way was a little difficult, but good God - Kibray has a good memory, and he quickly has found a road. From a fog has seemed small house with two windows maded from stones. They seen mobbo, which stood near the house and he looking rather imperceptibly, he was too similar on other mobbos to find something new in his face. For Croc all mobbos was looking like one, he is skilful to distinguish only gobbos, because has lived with them very long time. But Kibray was very surprised when seen him, he asked: - James! Is you? - Yes, and you... is... Kibray? - Yes. But... You see you were lost... - Later about this. Firstly, I am interested, who is nearly you? Kibray has acquainted James with everyone, he was surprised, having heard, that Croc and Max is crocodiles, because the island of the crocodiles was blown up, and by this reasons, it was necessary to telling him all what happened with them. They make the story more shortly, but tell it to James. He has Said: - I think, this "Sentineil of secrets", or how you call him..., is rather dangerous subject. Looks like, he uses the black magic, and it`s forbidden. We in "DMS" with such struggle. - So, you is from "DMS"? - Yes. - And how it deciphered? - Interested Max. - "Service of Destruction of Malicious Souls". - Max do the appropriate grimace - it there was a ridiculous enough name. - At last, can you say, what happened with you? James has noded. - Okay, Kibray. One day, Zoe returned to home in the afternoon and i see the birth - mark on she`s face, but I don`t seen it earlier! I have understood, that it is not thrue, is a fake. But one question - why she make it? I left this question without answer. But early in the morning - hours per five mornings, I notice, than she leaves the house and return in five hours. I have decided to find the answers to these questions. First of all I said to she, than i go to dangerous mission and don`t return. She has banished you - Kibray from the house, because it was a shock for she. Why I do this not clear things? I told it to you. - Most of all it interested Drake, because he (as well as other gobbos) think, than this act is disgusting. It was too severe in relation to Zoe (besides, she is his wife). - ...It was something like specious excuse, under which I could not come to the house. What for I needed not come in the house? Only because i wanted to follow behing she to the place, where she going, withoud superfluous complexities. You see, If I be "allive", I would be necessary to wake up hardly before five hours, to rise as soon as she will leave and follow behind her, finaly, when she returned, I need reach the house first and pretend, than I sleep. But now, I do not need to do these risky actions, only to look after her. And so, Zoe leaves at four o'clock in the morning and, as I have noticed, it is usual it happens in Sunday, that is tomorrow. - And you want to follow behind her? - Yes... I'm afraid, I don`t needed said it to you... - Don`t regret about this, you has acted correctly! - Has told Max. - Don`t you see, than all this events is same with the all happened about "Secret Sentineil". May be, Zoe goes to the "Sentineil"... or to the someone, who can know more about him! I we follow Zoe, we may find out all, what we needs! - Okay. Is important to talk so much, pointles here. Meeting tomorrow, at four o` clock or earlier. - Good-bye. They retuned to the inn, in they' room, and very long time talking about the jigsaw peaces and other secrets. No one still don`t have ideas, why "Secret Sentineil" need to do all this things. But they hope, than they understand more at sunday. Time going very slowly and they hardly have waited sunday. They come to the James` house very early, as they promissed - nearly four o` clock. They meeting with James and have waited ten minutes, but nobody did not leave the house. And these ten minutes seem to them by the whole eternity, they can`t wait more... By him already beginning to seem, that they came here or too early, or too late. Unexpectedly the door was opened... Yes, it was she - Zoe. Having waited, when she will go for a corner, they have followed her. Is not be easy, because is been a long way, and them there was five, and they needed to go silently. The road leads somewhere in a wood. There placed an old looking house. She was knocked there, having do equally five knocks. Should be, soon she has heard something like "come in", as has opened a door and has gone there. James has noded to Max in the side of a house, and he has understood, that James wants, that he should have peeped in a window (it been easy for him, because he was the highest of them.) There Max has seen a sofa, on which sat someone yellow colored, high and a little portly. By all, it was dantini. His head was small and the eyes was not very big too. Max has approached to James and has told what he seen. - Hmmm... - Answered him. - Under the description very similar on known criminal - Ralph. By everything, he has created Huricanoos. Croc, go better in a "DMS" service and tell them about it. - But I do not know, where it placed! - Okay, then I shall go. You stand here and better hide behind trees. Friens do what said him - have hidden behind trees waited, when he return. They stood silent, because afraided, than someone can hear them. At last James has returned and near him there were six mobbos, armed by arrows. Oh my God - agitated Croc, what can do mobbos, start up them and six, against Dantini? They look not much stronger, than gobbos... James has specified on the house, having told: "this is that place". Six mobbos come nearlier to it. Then all of them on a team have rushed into the house. Croc did not see, because that happened Inside, however heard noise. And there from house unexpectedly has run out this yellow dantini and has disappeared in overgrowth. Max has run for Ralph, but too late, the criminal was to not catch up any more, so it was necessary to come back. Only last hope are left - Zoe may told, what happened.

It was awfully of me - not post the next chapter for so long time. I can`t find express my sorry. Besides of the shortage of time, I need to put some changes into the plot of the story, because something that was written at age of 11 is not satisfied me. Anyway I think, it`s my duty to finish the fiction and I try to do it as quickly as I can. To my mind there are too many "strange" events and charecters in the fiction, that there is a question: "what for?" I promise, that everything will clear up at the end of the book. Or nearly everything... Three chapters are left...

Chapter 13: last jigsaw piece.
Long time ago, and the friends, at the evening have returned to hotel. Whether it is possible to say, that they have returned with empty hands? It is possible. But Croc has returned with not empty bag... What was inside it? Third jigsaw piece. Croc sit on the bed and start thinking, but don`t begin combine this piece with others. Why? Because he heard something interesting. Too interesting, that he forget combine the pieces. But this "interesting" not clear up nothing about the Secret Sentineil, it only complicated this. The Sentineil still have remained him a mysterious legend... Croc begin to remember what happened earlier and trying to analize this: In spite of the fact that Ralph was disappeared, was founded Zoe. She didn`t try to disappear. James has approached to her and beginning to ask she about all, contrary to to all assumptions of Croc and Drake, he did it slowly, not hurrying up , and main - with sympathy and thus, rather sincere. She looked shocked, maybe because not expected, that he is alive. Zoe told about all. Approximately it sounded so, short of all apologies and regrets. Earlier, there are a lot of years ago, before she married, she lived in same village with Kibray - "Behindmobbopolis", and was a friend of Kibray`s parents - John also Lily. When Zoe talked with Lily, she told about the past. Lily`s parents was pirates, and after all they have started to live here, far along from civilisation, and no one know, who they been earlier. In this house there was a cellar and they have decided to hide there they` part of pirate treasure. Zoe, of course, was very surprised heard this and don`t compeletly belived she. And, some time after, Zoe meeting James and was married with him. After that, they began to live in James` house in Mobbopolis. James never knew, that Zoe`s father was a bandit. But she was very unlucky - Ralph understood it, and he said, than he told this to James, if she don`t paid him a lot of crystals. But where she can get it? Soon she got an idea - take some crystals from a cellar with treasures in the house of Lily and John... She has changed clothes in elderly mobbees, who trading apples and has come in the Kibray`s house ostensibly to sell these apples, at the time, when the workers have begun to dig foundation pit. First two times nothing not happened, but in third time the plan has managed. Zoe, maked up as an old mobbees come to the Kibray`s house, and said: "Maybe, you want to buy my fresh apples, is not expensive! One apple - three crystals". Kibray answered: "Three crystals? Well, come, show us your apples." She come to home and show the apples to Kibray and his parents. But parents heard, that workers continue the work - dig the foundation pit, leave the home and begining to protest, because if the workers dig it, they may found the treasure. Kibray left the house too for see on this scene. Only Zoe still was inside. She has added soporific in water, when no one no see it. When the parents and son return, she quietly sell apples to them. Later she again has come to this house and having looked in windows, has made sure that all of them sleep, because they drinked the water with soporific. Then Zoe has gone to the house and was lowered in that cellar in the Kibray`s room. There was a small door and when she has open it, has found out there a lot of crystals began to fill the bag by them. But Kibray wake up earlier, than she planed, because he drinked not enough water to sleep longer. He has woken up just then, when she was in a cellar. Zoe has heard steps and has hidden behind a door just then, when surprised Kibray was lowered there. When Kibray has gone to a room with crystals, she at once has closed behind him a door, becaus afraid, that he will see she. With bag, full with crystals, Zoe has run to itself home, somehow erasing a make-up on a way. In the house James noticed birth-mark on she`s face, is because Zoe forget to erase it. At the morning Kibray escaped from the foundation pit and he has noticed Zoe`s traces on the ground. He has gone in their direction, to check up, where they leads him, but rain began and has washed off it. But is not thruth. The rain had not was in time to wash off traces, but it was ended here, because they were finished. And of course it leads him to James` and his wife`s house. Kibray, nothing suspecting, has decided to stop here, because he didn`t remember, where is the road, which leads back in "Behindmobbopolis". When Zoe has seen Kibray on a threshold of the house, she was very surprised, and has tried to banish him. But Zoe`s behaviour seemed strange to James and he intentionally has agreed, that Kibray can stop here. Having noticed, that the wife last time behaves suspiciously: leaves somewhere early in morning, he has decided to follow she to the place, where she going. For this reason he said, that he leave the house and may not come back... Knowing artful disposition of the husband she don`t been compeletely sure, that he die. She feeling, that he alive and has conceived something. But what? Zoe was simply in a panic that he understand all, and she do all what she can - banish Kibray, because he been someone like witness. Of course, it was not cleverest decision, but she was shocked... Then, she go to Ralph, for pay him the crystals. Then she was caught. Some time they stood and looked on Zoe. Kibray asked: - But... Why I found jigsaw peace in the treasures? How it appeared here? - I don`t know. - with some misunderstanding answered she, looks like she really don`t understand, what he talking about. James wanted to calm Zoe and said: - Please, calm down. We do all what we can, that no one don`t be know about this. These Mobbos - he has specified a six Mobbos from "DMP" - my friends and we all shall take care about this. - Realy? - asked she. - Realy. - Has confirmed James. And suddenly they heard a mystery hoarse voice: - No one don`t know it only if you pay me teen thousand million crystals!!! - All quickly have turned back and have looked on Max. - What?... - Said him, - Only kidding... " This is not the best time for jokes... What a strange crocodile? " - Has thought Drake. - Okay... - Said James - Better, lets check out this house. And they all begin do it - check out the house. Croc only open the door of the wardrobe and seen here something, looking a little familiar... - Look! Unbelivible... It is the third jigsaw piece! Now Croc, who seats on the bed in hotel finish thinking, because he remembered, that he need to combine it with other ones. He quickly has pick the jigsaw from the bottom of the bag. All others, looking on the picture, that drawed on jigsaws too. They seen an island, left part of which looks like Green island, because it grown by juicy green grass, next part was full in snow, thats looks same with White island, and on the third part, which they collected recently, was lot of sand, like in the Yellow island. - Only one part left and we understand all! - Said Croc with great optimism. - Yes, but where it may be? - Has made Drake. - Most likely, we can find it "on the way", like others. I have no idea, why Sentineil need to use us to find it. How he can be sure, that Crocodile, who has elewen years and Gobbo can do it for him? I hope, soon this Sentineil tell it to us... - Croc been more sure, that all may ends happy, because recently he seen, that fantastic-looking things thruthly may be absolutely real. - Tomorow be court. - Has reminded Drake. - Oh, yes, I remember, that James tell us, that tomorrow we need to go to the court. But did you, know, what`s mean "court"? - Asked Croc, in the Gobbos` islands don`t been "court", because don`t been crimes, there are reasons for it. For example, Gobbos change the houses with others, one time in year and they don`t have problems, if dislikes they` houses. Drake tell, what means "court", he frequently travelled to other islands and know about it. - Ah... - Said Croc. - Gobbo islands! No crimes, no courts, no Dantinis, no Secret Sentineils... I can`t wait, when we return. But firstly we need to find our parents... - I hope, I meeting my parents tomorrow! - Spoke Kibray with veneration. - James said, they come to the court, for telling more about this events. But what do you think, keeping treasure, stolen by other Mobbos is crime? My parents realy don`t be having problems with judges? Others begin worried too, Max said: - Sadly, but I don`t know. I heard about Dantini`s court, but it may be two different things. Me and Croc with easy understanding you, we lost our parents too... - Anyway they alive! (it it is possible to understand even under the letter in a bottle), and you find them soon! You see the solution is close! - Solution is close... - Has repeated Croc. On the morning they, with yawning, slowly go to the hall of court. They still can`t remember all roads of Mobbopolis island, besides of that, they forget, where is this hall and Kibray leads them. Soon they appeared in the larde hall (much bigger that Gobbos` houses), having noticed, that they came later than planed. There was a judge, rather solid-looking Mobbos, Zoe, James and tmo other Mobbos, which interested Kibray more than others... It was his parents - Lily, who, by Croc`s and Max`s opinion looking same with other Mobbees, except poorly dress and John differed only by a small wrinkle on the forehead. Kibray was very glad to see them, but the judge has knocked by a hammer on a table three times and tell them to occupy their places. As a whole, the court has disappointed the friends. It was something long, tiresome and boring. There all of them long tormented by obviously questions. Max hardly has not fallen asleep... No one not been punished, because James said, that Zoe don`t stole the treasure, she has taken his crystals, but no treasure (of course is been lie). She agreed with it. Lily and John was agreed too, maybe, because they can`t belive it. James said, that most likely is may be Secret Sentineil, because Kibray finded here a jigsaw piece, besides, James not tell about the birth-mark. Lily and John don`t be punished too, if this treasure of their parents, is not crime. After the process was finished, Kibray has told to the friends: - Well, Croc, Max and Drake... I`m afraid, my adventure was finished. - Spoke he with unique sadness. - Parents insist, that I need to go with them back in my village... And I can not refuse... - But... We meet again? - With a little bit naivety hope has asked Croc. - Yes, I hope! My address - "Behindmobbopolis", house number six... - Oh, Kibray... We understand you more than others..., you has problems same with ours. But they can`t say goodbye normaly, because Kibray`s parents can`t wait more. - Good luck in your quest! Please, visit my house soon! - I promise! - Said Croc. They have returned tothe inn. No started the gloomy part of their adventure. On the the next day Croc feels himself like old man, because he feels nastolgy for the Gobbos` islands like him. What a great times! It was not necessary to work there, but he did not become lazy Crocodile. Gobbos don`t need work hardly, but they lived in a prosperity. Sometime Croc noticed, that in other islands everyone lives in another way. For example, James, who lied in court. Gobbos` religy forbids to tell lie. But if he said thruth, who knows what may happened with Zoe? It was not very easy situation. In the Gobbo islands Croc never know about that kind of problems... Or another moment - what`s bad if the Zoe`s father was a bandit? Mainly, that Zoe is not like she`s father. Mobbopolis is island of secrets... Faster go back, to home! But... his home - Crocodile island does not exist more. Also what happened with the parents? Maybe, they alive? Desire to departure from this island with each day are grew and thus, not only Croc, want it, others too. It looks imposible - find last jigsaw piece. Especially wind on this island blew stronger, the rains was more often, all this foretold something not good..., like if someone spoke them: " get out from these Island! " And month from which they paid coming to the end and they don`t have enough crystals for other time in hotel. Friends already put all their things in Croc`s bag and planed to float to the Green island tomorrow morning. Croc could not fall asleep this night, he think about his parents. Having put hands under a head he queitly laid, looking on a ceiling. He has noticed, that the ground began shivering, and has heard the shouts outside. " Hurricanoos!? " - has conjectured he. Croc has looked in a window and his assumption has proved to be true. On a dark street, overflowed by running in the different directions Mobbos, there was an essence completely consisting of hurricane, with bloody-red eyes and went rather quickly, despite of that he was huge. Croc has started to rouse Max and Drake. Drake has woken up at once, probably because he don`t sleep strongly, and Max some time hesitated. For this time Hurricanoos has come nearer to the inn. At first Croc has explained to them literally in two words what happened, and they have run out from hotel - stay in it was very dangerous, this huge creature may implicated the hotel, against because he consists by hurricane. When they therefrom have run out, they were already literally under legs of Hurricanoos. Escape from the monster was not to easy, he tried to absorb them inside himself. Croc hardly probable moved, and the monster was closer and closer... Max has stumbled on a stone, when running and him at once has absorbed in hurricane, spining with horrible speed. Drake hidding from the giant behind the alley. Croc was in a panic - he did not know where to run, Hurricanoos always followed him. The inn was directly before a coast of the sea, which strongly waves stormed and were broken on massive stones. There was only one outlet - to dive in the sea. Only Croc has dived, the waves thrown him on the sharp stones. He has screamed from a pain, because wounded the shoulder. Salty water annoy the wound, but he don`t screem anymore, when see Hooricanoos. Croc tried to resist the waves, he dived under water, where it don`t been so active. Infinitie amount of splashes got in he`s eyes and he can`t see in what direction he swim. He dodn`t see what happened with Hurricanoos too, before he has turned back. When Hurricanoos begun to go into water, he has noticed, that his legs became heavier and moving was more difficultly. Is because his legs was filled by water and it makes additional weight. When he go further, level of water was somewhere of his stomach. He not arbitrary begin to absorb the water, like other things, after he looked so, that if he named "Waternoos" is may sounds better. He can`t move anymore, because been practicaly full of water. But he don`t give up, the wind inside him blew with such power, that it firstly blewed out all water, with Max, and secoundly all water around of him was moved apart, and Croc was strongly has rejected back. Hurricanoos continued to blew strongly, but soon he finaly is tired, can`t do this anymore and he was covered by water. Croc, which hardly probable could be swiming, after all has noticed, that giant has disappeared. He was beaten, beaten by water... When Croc finaly has recovered from a shock, he swim to the coast and lying there. All his muscles are ached and he feels, how annoys the wound. He lyed sometime, nearly half hour. After that he seen, that nearly him lying Max. Max has blinked - it means that he alive... Nearly him stay anxious Drake. - You two are alive! - Said Croc joyful, but ailingly . - Croc!... Main, that you are alive! - Let`s go in the hotel... - Has told Max. They hardly have reached hotel and lying on their beds, they have got tired. They sllep more than half of the day. When they wake up, Croc asked Max: - And how you managed to be alive? I seen, that Hurricanoos has absorbed you. - Ow... When I was in Hurricanoos... It was horrible, I spining with crazy speed, then it seems, I lost consciousness, and recovered on the coast. Please, don`t ask me to tell more details... - May be, when Hurricanoos blew out from himselves the water, you have has fallen out together with it, when he continue blew and water "was moved ", you was bringed to a coast by waves. When them` discussion was finished, Drake carefully has noticed: - I remember, I has seen, that from the monster falen something other. I understand, what is it, when the waves bring it nearlier, to the coast. It was a chest. - And what was inside? - Of course I don`t know. - Wery interesthing... Maybe, lets go to the coast? - Has offered Croc. Max has agreed with him. Drake tried to stop them, it may be dangerous, but Max tell, that in this adventure all is dangerous. When friends have seen the sky, have understood, that they sleeps too long, was the sunset. On the beach realy was the moist and bursted brown woody chest. - But how we can open it? - Has asked Croc, having noticed, the lock on the chest. - Is very easy... - Has answered Max and broke this old chest by a stone. A little one falls out from the chest... Croc pick-up it, has considered and has made sure, that it that he wanted to see - the last jigsaw piece!

Chapter 14: Crystal island.
Croc practically instantly has picked-up other three jigsaw pieces from his bag. In spite of he was very interested, he carefully combined fourth jigsaw with others. He seen the completed picture - island with four parts, each same with one of Gobbo Islands. They have begun silently wait, because they knew: something should happen. And it happened. They noticed, that ground start shavering again. " Hurricanoos?! Again?! " - with a fright and surprise has thought Croc. But it was not Hurricanoos. Somewhere, in kilometer from the place, where stood Croc unexpectedly has "growned up" an island. It was looking, like island on the jigsaws: on the left side was green hills, the most part of the island was occupied by sand and canyons, there were high mountains, which peaks were all in snow and on the top was something strange, similar on large purple crystal, the clouds above this island looking not natural: one cloud blue, another green, next one - red. All of this looks too fantasticaly, that friends hadly belived they` eyes. - What is it?... - Max discouragedly asked. - An island... - Croc answered, still cliping his eyes on the giant crystal. Unexpectedly Drake has exhaled the squeezed shout and then has fallen on ground. He was convulsively shaked and his eyes been totaly white. It was completly like at the moment, when they floated to the Chilly island. Croc and Max was shocked, they simply did not know what need to do. - Drake! You allive?... - Croc shouted. Here from the Drake quickly has escaped something violet-colored and has fligt in a direction of the mysterious island. - What is it?... - Max said. Gradually Drake has come in norm. He don`t shaked anymore and his eyes looking normaly. Croc, having noticed this, give the hand to help him stand up. - Drake... Are you okay? What`s happened? - Nothing... Firstly I have felt, like the hot water falls on my head, then I can`t see and feel nothing anymore then was flare and I again can feel and see... - Are you allright? - Croc asked him again. - Yes, almost... - I need to find out, what occurs on that island! - He has told resolutely. - No, Croc! It may be dangerous! - Drake tried to dissuaded him. - But is too interesting!... - No, is extremely dangerously! Most likely, the spirit of the Sentineil has escaped from me! And he fligh on this island! He wants to kill you! - Especially, I need to find out! - To same, most likely he kill us if we there don`t floated there, you see, not for nothing he has forced us to find puzzles! - Max supported him. - No! I don`t want that somebody dead! But was too late, Croc already has jumped in boat and has floated on severe waves, feverishly rowing by oars. At the given moment he was guided only by one feeling - curiosity. Than he was closer to an island, that strongly it grew. He was closer and closer the grassy coast. When he finaly reach the ground, has looked back. Max and Drake swimed in that direction too, but without the boat. Only now Croc has understood all irresponsibility of the act, but was already late, and his curiosity not going down, contrary, has increased. He immediately has decided to investigate the island and mainly, reach huge crystal, placed on the top. Croc has looked around. To the left of him was a green hill, with alredy maded path. " It means, that someone lived here? " - Has thought Croc and decided, that it was Secret Sentineil. Hardly more to the right from the hill was smal river, not very deep. In the clean, absolutely transparent water Croc seen his face. For the last time he has grown thin and don`t sleep too much. From the hurmur of river and from a smell of fresh, juicy grass Croc has felt himself much better, all this added to him much vital vigour, that he has lost on the Mobbopolis island. But this place still was differed from Green island. Maybe only by mystery. Crocodile go further, didn`t noticed, that he completely lose his friends - he can`t see them. He passed the lake, coming on slightly sharp stones, placed on the bottom. Further he went through the wood. On ways to him there were plants of the most various colours and shades, plain and waterfalls. All this was amazing. But Croc understand, that is not Green island. Here he did not feel himself, as at home. He went further and further. To reach up this giant crystal was longer, than Croc expect. The evening begin. Crocodile very wanted to eat and he without the effort has got his favourite peas, which he don`t eat nearly two months. He tried to sleep, but has failed, is rather hard on this island, when knowing, that at any moment may happened something. He falls asleep only when the morning begining. When Croc has woken up, continued the voyage. He approached to mountains, covered by snow. The kind at these mountains was on so much majestic, that it practicaly inspired the veneration. Snow was not only on the mountains` peaks, also on the ground behind it. It looked incredibly - at once, after the grass all was in snow. Was awfully cold, usualy, when Croc was floating to the white island, he alredy bought a fur coat, but now, without clothes, he hardly probable did not die from a frost. " To be warmed, necessary to move " - He remembed. Croc has run, hardly probable not falling on the slippery ice. Then strong blizzard began, been too cold, that Croc feels himself, like the ice, fitted by skin... He was closer and closer to the end of this frozen place. Failing in snowdrifts he seen, that next part of this island is desert. He can`t wait, when reach it. And at last Croc do it. Fortunately, the winter part was a little bit less than wood. He having a rest from jog, nearly twenty minutes, the curiosity did not allow more... Croc regeret, that he left Max and Drake. Alone, he was doomed to dead... Than longer he went, that more strongly heated the sun. Hot sand began to burn his foots and thus, up to such degree, that he hardly probable could suffer. Crocodile, creaked by teeth went further. Suddenly he stepped on something very sharp also has screamed. It was thorn. The crocodile finally decided, that need to protect his foots. Especially, the sun began to heat more strongly. " What can I do? " - He thought - " Maybe, divide the bag on two parts and tie the foots by it? " - But Croc pitied the bag, because his foots will turn to ashes, before he will do this operation. On this, he had time only to take off the bag and stand on it. But here suddenly it seemed, that bag more hot, than ground... Is because bag`s gilded clasp, maded from metal was heated on the sun and Croc necessary to stand so, that not to step on the clasp, not on sand. At the evening, the sun slowly began going down for sandy barhans. Gradually heat slept, became even a little cold. In the desert always night it is much more cold, than day. Moreover, Croc creepy want to drink. He, poured cold sweat, hardly can go more. He already hardly was has not fallen on cold sand from by succumb, as has noticed the small river nearby to itself. " Water! At last! " - He has exclaimed. Having drink lot of water, he seen a mountain nearly him. Looks like on this mountain placed that giant gem, more similar on the crystal palace. " Soon I necessarily find out, what up there! " - Croc promised to himself.

Chapter 15: Secret Sentinel.
The curiosity has reached the peak and Croc has decided to climb mountain now. But how? Is practically impossible! There is not enough cracks and protuberances on this mountain. How then he can do it? Croc has decided to bypass this mountain around. He has noticed, that moss growned up on it, but there are no moss in desert. Hence, it was another part of the island. Here he sharply has stopped, having noticed the cave, leads inside mountain. Entrance in the cave has triangular form, and inside were seen rather impressive sized stalactides. Inside the cave was too darkly, that Croc simply was afraid to come. Who knows, what may be there? But he come inside, against, guided by curiosity. He carefully has made few steps forward. Nothing. Then he has continued moving forward and has collided with the wall by his hands. Here was impasse. Where leads this cave? Croc tried to go in different sides and collided with something again, now by leg in something rigid. Soon he understood, that is steps, leading somewhere upwards, like a spiral. He slowly begin going up. Suddenly Croc has heard something like squeal and loud stroking of the wings nearly his snout. " It`s bats " - he has guessed. One Gobbo tell him, that these bats eat meat and can eat him, by this, he quick runned to the end of the ladder. It was rather high and he heard all a little badly. At last, Croc has seen lunar light falling from the hole, above him. He did not hasten, maybe, someone wait him on the top and want to kill? He looked from a hole also has seen this giant crystal, but now more closer. It looking amazing. Looks like a mirror, in which was reflected more beautifully view on the all this island, from height. The severe-looking rocks of the desert were visible, in "northern" part of an island the polar light (or, how it call Gobbos - " northern rainbow "), was hardly possible to seen the hills, rivers and lakes belonging to the "green" part of an island, but it was more far. All this looks not real, like dream, the purple colour of the crystal, in which was seen this reflection only increased that feeling. Having seen more details, Croc make sure, that is the palace. Large door, leaded inside the palace was maded from crystals too, at currect moment it was closed. But most exiting was that this crystal palace been absolutly withoud any windows. Croc has left the hole for seen all this more carefully. Then he has turned in other side and has seen that was in reflection, but now in reality. It was rather high. The scratch was distributed him. He quickly has turned back. A door, leads to the crystal palace slowly fell to a bottom, in the same way, like in the castle of Baron Dante. When the door was lowered completely, Croc was in shock. There stood high, strong and brawny Dantini, full consisting from purple crystals, like he`s palace. He differed from Baron Dante by long, sharp hair more similar on thorns, and he`s face looks different. Especially his widely opened eyes, looks like he has gone through strong shock. And he hasn`t creases nearly mouth, like many other Dantinis. He was dressed in the huge armor (he needed only helmet and he be very similar on the knight), has cloak, again - purple-coloured. Crystal Dantini go forward, in crocodile`s direction. Croc receded, while was where. - What?! What do you want?! - Panically has asked Croc. - Here you are, destroyer of the universe. - Passionlessly said Secret Sentineil by voice, similar on sound, like when cutting the crystal. - Who? - Destroyer of the universe. - But I don`t understand... - Don`t understand? Is easy. Croc, you is a murderer, only a little murderer and nobody other. - What you mean?... - Don`t be silly. In the world exist "progress" and "regress", but "nothing" does not exist. Dantini has many new inventions and we can call them "progressive". Gobbos - backward people, they lag behind from Dantini more, than for 500 years, hence they - "regressive" people. They pull all islands back, to the prehictoric century. Gobbos is a REAL danger for all islands. These misterable, worthless, insignificant egoists, they happy to live on they` islands and dont think about dangerously of them. Dantinis` Black island is poor by minerals, but the Gobbo Islands is very reach of it. Did you understand now?! Gobbos simply don`t need too many islands. Who is the Gobbos? Is slaves! They can`t do anything other! Can you imagine, what may be, if Dantinis have this four islands? Then there would be an extraordinary PROGRESS! But you, Croc, very like that Gobbos and absolutely don`t care about the dangerously of regress! Is more than enough for call you murderer or destroyer of the universe. Got it? - Yes... - Good. Very sadly, that baron Dante can`t conquer Gobbo Islands now, because they has good relations with other islands and if Dante try to win these three islands, they will be united with others, it be too much for him. - But... Why you compel us to find four jigsaw peaces? - Because only by that way we can be free from regress! - But how?... - Okay, I explain. Firstly, a little bit about me. I`m specimen of rare breed of Dantini - Crystalian. I some kind of sorcerer and better than Dante. Not each Dantini may become sorcerer, it was possible for me. My parents were lost, when I was only six years old and left to me this beautiful crystal palace. Long time ago, on this island lived Gobbos and this crystal was temple, where they prayed, now is my palace. In youth I very like to be alone, on this has dismissed all servants. My resources were practicaly limitless. I could do practicaly everything, but did not do it. Because I knew - necessary to do all with advantage for others. And then I got an idea: what, if I unite with Baron Dante? Then we can easy conquer Gobbo Islands! It is possible to make everything! For example: tell, that I shall divide their Islands on jigsaw peaces (like this one) if they will not surrender it to us. But how I can unite with him? For do that I need to show him all positive sides of our union. But Is very difficult to do it. I come on a Black Island and can you imagine, it was possible to talk with him. But, only I begin to speak about all pluses of this union, he has told to me: " You is a fool, isn`t it?! My castle is not right place for worthless lazy-bones, who thinks that they are almighty! Now I shall order to quartered you, to teach others not coming here for nothing! ". As you understand, Croc, I don`t have too much time. I have made a spell and executor, which called up Dante, has burned down. It have an effect, but still not enough. I began to show him other spells, then I have divided this island on four jigsaws, knowing, that can combine it at any moment. Dante still don`t been satisfeid completely, he has suggested to me something like test: I needed to bring a little crocodile, who named Croc inside this castle, only by using so many magic, as I can. He said, is just simple revenge. I have agreed. But I don`t know, how can use many magic for this. I decided to row on the Yellow Island to one my friend - the prophent and ask him for advice. - But he is Gobbo! And he can`t help you in your evil planes! - Is very simple. This Gobbo is a Dantinist. - Dantinist? - Yes. - But how Gobbo may be a Dantinist? - May be all. You know, Croc, life is multi-faceted. Sometimes heroes in reality proved the traitors, or on the contrary. I continue to tell this. As soon as I has gone in the house of prophent, he has told me, that I die very soon. I asked, who wants to kill me. "A little crocodile " - He answered. I was very surprised, very similar, that he told about you. I always belive the prophent, his predictions always came true. I have told him about our meeting with Baron Dante and we began to think, what we can do with you. Also have thought up. I should be installed in your friend (it safely, conveniently, It is possible to watch all your actions). Before installed, I should force your friend, under fear of death to ask you rowing on the Yellow Island and go to this prophent (ask you about this must only your friend, because, if I do it, you may too strongly be frightened and make some kind of blunder.) Then, prophent should tell you nonsence about the magic casket, hidden in the Dante`s castle and if you don`t find it, you become dead. That`s all. But one problem - not enough magic. I also has decided to tell your friend about four jigsaw peaces, which really existed. But still not enough. Then, I have installed Chill in the casket, which you should find, having asked him to tell you about the jigsaw under water (just in case if you don`t die in Dante`s castle, yes Croc, it is necessary to be carefully with you, because you escaped from the castle for the first time and I don`t need forget the prophent`s prediction) also has bring this casket to Baron Dante (it was ingenious - Baron was surprised, having seen casket, who can talk and was more surprised, when I promised, that you come to the castle yourself to take it.) Yes, it was a delightful plan, after it I definitely be the ally of Dante. All was awesome, before you have met your brother - Max. However I have decided, that Baron be glad to kill him too. But my plan be a flop, this fool Seimour has stolen key of the casket. Baron Dante was too much interested and, in spite of he wants to kill you, he began to ask, whence you have the key, even has forced you to open the casket. And you escaped again. At the night, when you sleep at Heman`s house, I have left from Drake (If do it, when the victim sleeps, he nothing will feel). I have arrived to Baron Dante. He was very angry, has told, that I at any cost must kill you, again - by using magic. Now my second plan about murder under water come in handly. I have thrown there jug with jigsaw inside (in case if my plan not works) and bottle with a fake letter from your parents, which was written by me, only for decoy you on the Mobbopolis Island where another dangers await you, if you don`t die here. You was still alive, though I even used my hypno-magic, by which you swim to the target like under hypnosis and I planed, that you die withoud air. After this moment I understood, that need more seriously approach to you. However, I expected, that you can survive, because you is crocodile, and can be under water longer. As I also expected, Chill hardly was has not told all about me, on this I have taken advantage of an old trick - begin to get out from Drake, as was again installed back, after that your friend have fainted, but has stopped Chill`s mouth and strongly scared you. While you sleep in the hotel of Chilli Island, I have set off to the Mobbopolis island, to plan the following attempt murders. There, I have met my friend Ralph and consulted with him, how I can kill you by using lot of magic. Ralph, with inherent to him simplicity has told: "Can`t kill small green scum? But is so easy! You can create a giant monster by your magic and he will do with this crocodile all what you need!" So I also has thought of Hurricanoos. This monster has a merit: he consists of hurricane and can implicate things, placed far away from it. However I felt, that is not enough. Is may be too easy - escape from this huge, slow creature, therefore has asked Ralph to suggest me something else. We thought some time and at last Ralph has told me another one way to kill you: "you know, there is such Mobbes, it seems Zoe she`s name, so, I managed to find out, that her father was a bandit. I also have decided to blackmail she, of course, she was very scared, has told, that necessarily will bring me the crystals, said, even knows, where it hidden..." In two words, Ralph has told me all, what you already know about Zoe. There is the plan: Zoe need to add fertively a jigsaw peace to the trasure in Kibray`s house (of course, by order of Ralph), and only then takes a part of this treasure. Some time after, works dig out the foundation pit and find these treasures. Surprised workers will run to the "DMP"service. "DMP" bring out Kibray`s parents into the open, they will told everything, but "DMP" can`t understand only one thing: whence here the jigsaw piece? About this will write in the newspapers and when you, Croc, will read it (if you don`t read this newspaper, I can take care about this, don`t forget, that I installed in Drake) you come to the "DMP" service and will ask them to give you this piece, will tell, why you need it. Of course, "DMP" don`t believe you, with they` usual "common sense" they will decide, that you tell lie, that you are sorcerer and use black magic (it, as well as another magics forbidden on this island) and they do with you all what they do with another sorcerers - will burn out you on a fire. - But why do you think, that they will took me for a sorcerer? Is absolutely unfounded... - Croc, looks like you lived with Gobbos too long and think, that all others live like them! But is not true! Frequently they was burned someones by mistake. You already know, what was after that - both plans was failed. You without difficulty escaped from huge, slow Hurricanoos, how he called in newspaper. The second plan has not managed too - Kibray has "brought" to you this jigsaw piece when has find the hotel! - Why Kibray has stay in same hotel with us? Or it happened only by chance? - Well, not completely so. Kibray, when Zoe has banished him, searched for hotel, but only one hotel placed on this island. And so, you was very lucky, that you have met this trustful fool James, which has believed to all your story. I left one jigsaw piece for Ralph, he talk to me, that soon will thought up, what do with it. Finaly, you find it, when he has escaped. You survived again! But soon I was lucky - was very windy day and storm. Exelent day for Hurricanoos! In windy days, he becomes especially powerful, because itself consists of a wind. But I has didn`t care about one thing - he can`t stand water. By this reason murder was failed. Just in case I have thrown in Hurricanoos a chest with last piece (but I was sure, that you don`t need it, because you will dead). After that, you have connected all parts together and then my island has appeared. I call it "Crystal Island". - But I still don`t understand... Why you have forced me to search for the jigsaws? - Why? By three reasons: for use more magic, how asked Dante, because I needed to create things, what for you will risk and in case, if you survive. I planed, that you will die, before reach my palace. And now, Croc, you talk with me. Very sadly, but I don`t know, what happend after this. Now you understood all, what interested you? - Not absolutely... What happened with my parents? - You still don`t know this? They die with other crocodiles. - I don`t believe this. And why they did not departure from the island? - Croc! Maybe you think, that I omniscient? How I can know this? You want to know anything else? He understood, that in all probability, if he will say "yes", Secret Sentineil will tear him to pieces, Croc feels, that he forget to ask something, but can`t remember what, also has unsurely answered: - Yes... - In that case, come in. - Secret Sentinel has pointed to entrance, leading inside the crystal palace. Croc nothing can do, it was necessary to obey. He has come inside the temple, following Secret Sentineil. In spite of there are no windows, was enough light, it has penetrate inside, because "roof" was cut under the form of a cross. Croc can`t imagine, how Secret Sentieil can live here - walls shone by lunar light, was hardly-possible to see anything. - How you can live here? - Asked Croc. - I don`t always live here, sometimes I live on "Green" part of this island, sometimes on "White", etcetera. Croc has remembered, what he wanted to ask: - Why you call yourself "Secret Sentinel"? - When my parents have settled in that place, they named it "Secret", because this temple looks strange. "Secret Sentinel" sounds pretty good - mystery and intriguing. Other strangeness of this palace consist of in it never been any personal things, even in the castle of Baron Dante was possible to see pictures, on which was drawed his mother. Croc asked, why. Crystal Dantini said: - Because it was horrible - what my parents had done with this temple. It may sounds unbelieveble, but this palace looks like a mansion... I think, that all must looking "natural". If it was temple - it must to be temple and nothing else. This "abode" was divided all into four extensive rooms. Croc has seen, that in each room placed huge metalic gongs on it was drawed a yellow bird, with blue wings and tail, bird has a small beak, and large eyes, like Gobbos. Gobbos use this gongs for pray. Secret Sentinel began to turn the lever and the exit was closed. He has approached to Croc: - Well, small crocodile, is time to die. - Talking Secret Sentinel absolutely impassively. - I consciously going to do this murder, for the sake of the great objective and no one can condemn me. Of course, is a big shame - don`t kill you for so long time, but never mind, mainly, that when I do this, all Gobbo Islands will belong to Dantinis. But now I want to check up, that prophecy will come true or not. Well, Croc! Show me, how you will kill me! But Croc know, that he can`t do anything with this huge, mighty Dantini. Looks like Secret Sentinel knows that too, but he wanted to mock at little Crocodile, who let him to waste so much time. Croc thought: "why he wear the armor? Specially, for scoff at me? If is true, there are no way to survive!" Only he tried to escape, as Secret sentinel grab him by a hand: - Is so unfairly, Croc! I asked you to show your abilities, and you overmodest! - Knowing, that he scuffing at Croc, his intonation still was impassively. - Don`t afraid, I shall not use magic! I want to look, that you with will do... While Secret Sentineil stopped to speak, Croc quickly has run to the exit. - Where are you going? - Mockingly has inquired Dantini. Croc tried to push the lever, to open a door. - Incorrect! - Crystal Dantini said. - you are too weak to push this lever! Now is my turn! With these words he has slap Croc`s snout by the massive fist with such power, that he has fallen on ground. - And particle still, he was a worthless prophet, like other Gobbos! Prepare to die! I will not use magic, as I promissed! He has approached to Croc and begin to kick him by legs. Crocodile had a very narrow rolled away in other side and then has rise on his feet. He has run, not knowing where, he only want to disappear from Secret Sentinel. He has run in one of four rooms with gongs, on which was drawed Beany the bird. Croc suddenly has remembered one ancient legend, which told to him one Gobbo: "There was a magic bird, named Beany and if you hit in the gong with bird`s face, she by all means will take away you from here!" Now crocodile also has want this: to be found most far away from here, as possible. He has looked back, Secret Sentineil did not run to him, he flied. Croc quickly has struck in large gong. Loud sound was heard. But he don`t seen any bird. Can he do anything else? Nothing, only die... He has looked on the sorcerer again and was very surprised. Secret Sentineil has grappled with his head and closed eyes. Croc has struck to gong again, but nothing happened. He do it another two times, but crystal Dantini has regain constciousness and approached to him. Dantini was silent, probably, having understood, that the prediction can be not such empty phrase, how it may seems firstly. He was in seriously mood. Croc, by his small growth has managed to rush through and escaped from this room. Having understood, that Croc runs to the next gong, Secret Sentinel begin to use magic. He has thrown in Croc an electrical sphere, which unexpectedly has appeared in his hand and hardly don`t hit in his target. Croc reach second gong and has beat it. While Dantini grappled with his head, Croc has run to another one, but sorcerer has recovered and continued to throw the electrical spheres. And he don`t missed now, one of it has hit in Croc`s hand and he has cried, having felt, as if him was claped by thunder. He has tried to move by a hand, but the hand is useless - it didn`t move. Not wishing to be target for electrical spheres, Croc has run in another room and with all might has beat in third gong. Again, taken an opportunity, he run to last, fourth gong. The destiny of all Gobbo islands depend on his life! Secret Sentinel was on close enough distance to Croc and has hit in the right leg. The crocodile hardly not fall on the ground, he jump to fourth gong and has beat in it by the right, only one active hand. But Secret Sentinel was not going to die. What he can do now? Only go to another gong. Croc look around and no see his enemy. Maybe, now he became invisible, by his magic? Anyways, Croc need to be hurry. But it was impossible: only one hand and leg can move. He slowly has come there by one leg, helplessly lean against the walls and has been horrified. Secret Sentinel has obstructed that gong and don`t let him come closer. - Well, murderer of the universe - come on, hit the gong! Croc shaked with fear and nervous pressure, has approached closer to Dantini. - Say good-bye to your life! - Sentinel has exclaimed. In Secret Sentinel`s hand quickly has appeared electrical sphere. He can`t miss from that distance. But Croc unexpectedly has beat the gong by his long tail. They heard loud sound and long echo after it. Sphere in Secret Sentinels hand has fallen aside. He begin to burst and hardly said: - The prophet was right. Our islands will never seen happiness, they doomed, and all this because of you. You doomed too, Croc. When you grown-up, you will be another Gobbo and no one else. You is destroyer of the universe! - He said without any scoff, like earlier, now it sounds like simple establish a fact. Soon Secret Sentinel has covered by cracks. He sadly has omitted hands and shattered on one thousand shiny little crystals. Croc closed his eyes by a hand, for don`t let flying splinters got him. Nearly Croc layed many purple crystals. He has taken one of it, on his look, accuratest than anthers, as the souvenir, also has put it in a bag. Croc closed his eyes, because he hope, that when he will open it, he instantly find out, that all of this was only dream. But nothing not changed, when he open it, except one... Walls of the crystal temple bursted, and thus awfully creaked, little pieces of crystals falled from it. "Soon this temple will blown-up on million pieces, like Secret Sentinel" - He understood. Croc, leaning against wall go to the lever. The cracks now been more bigger, temple already begin to slowly fall gown. Croc really can`t turn the lever, as promissed Secret Sentinel, anyway it was impossible - only one arm can move. Giant clods of crystals begun to fall, only two secounds and temple will blown-up. But the door was made from crystals too and it already bursted. Now Croc got an idea. He bring all his weight to cracked door and has fall out, outside the temple. He was full in wounds and grazes, because wounded by splinters. He laid on ground and knows, that is impossible - rise on legs before the temple will blown-up. Soon this palace will shattered on many little pieces, which deeply will enter in Croc and never leave him... But now he seen tall crocodile with swampy-green skin, it was Max, which just rose from the cave. - Croc!? You full in blood! What happened? - There is no time! Faster, help me to stand up! Max has give Croc a hand and he leaned angainst him, has gone. Only then have jumped to cave, happened all about Croc think so much - huge crystal instantly has exploded on small peaces. It sounds like when the glass is broken, but much louder, that why some time after this the brothers nothing heard. After that they have looked outside the cave and have seen there splinters of a crystal, laying on ground, it was not so much, is because most of it was throwed off further. There also laid four gongs with Beany the bird, full of little and large splinters. - Oh God!... What happened? - Max surprisedly asked. - Eh, Max... Please, later about that, I very tired... Let`s get outta here... - Okay, okay. Already was morning and sun slightly has lighted the way. When they at last come nearly exit from the cave, Croc has layed on ground. He has noticed, that all sand nearly entrance was filled up by splinters. - But what happened? - Asked Max again. - I don`t not know completely all... - And why this huge crystal has blown up? - Now that`s what I can`t understand. I tell you only one thing: Secret Sentinel not exist anymore. - Really? And how did you win? - Please, Max, later... How did you find me? - Well, I with Drake swim to this island for find you. He has remained to wait me nearly your boat, and I go to search you. Also has come there. But now, Croc, tell me, what happened! - Please, later... I feel weak and wanted to be resting...

Max didn`t mind his rest. More than two hours Croc leaned and think about all what happened, Max in the meantime bandaged his wounds by bushes of the nearest tree. Croc`s left hand and right leg again can move now. He fell himself as if he "return to life" and with pleasure has told Max all about recently events. Max, while listening him, constant said words, such as "scoundrel", "villain" or "rascal" about Secret Sentinel. After paying the compliments Max has said: - Croc! You have made impossible! It sounds incredibly, but I believe you! Well, now we know all? - Hmmm... Looks like not completely all... - What else? - Well, firstly, we know practicaly nothing about our parents. Secondly, I still don`t understand, why Secret Sentinel and his palace were broken, when I beat the gongs. - Yes... But anyways, I think, soon all will clear up! - Optimistically has told Max. - I too. We need to leave this island... I want to meet Drake! - You are sure, that you stronger enough? - I hope... Be better if we leave it now, at morning, while in desert is not on so much hot. Max has agreed, he didn`t want stay here so much too and very soon they have set off to the way back. In the desert still was hot, but less than last time. Croc has noticed, that the desert is much smaller, than it may seems firstly. And some problems was with northern part of an island - Croc rested not enough to run without stop for so long time. They decided to improve situation - have waited, when the sun will peeped out. This time it was especially hot, snow began to thaw a little. Further was Croc`s favourite part of this island - wood. However he was don`t so much glag to see these landscapes, because is tired and knew, that soon will row to the real Green Island. In the red-orange sky were seen familiar multi-coloured clouds, trees still swayed by breath of a wind, the waves also were beaten over a stones nearly coast, all of this "spoke" that life continue. But Croc don`t was realy sure about that... he still worried about some problems... Drake, alone, sat on a coast near the boat, sadly look down on the ground. He heard familiar voice: - Drake! He has seen two crocodiles running to him: - Croc? Croc! Drake fall in Croc`s arms and did not leave him for long time. - Croc! You are alive! I don`t question that! I always knew, that you are unusual crocodile! But what happened? I saw, that huge crystal on the top of mountain blowned-up. What happened there? - I shall tell with pleasure, but please, Drake, let's sit in a boat first. They quickly have sat in a boat and steel strongly row, especialy Croc. He has noticed beans of peas laying there. - Peas? - Croc said. - Yes, I collected it especialy for you! - Said Drake like a solicitous father. - Thank a lot, Drake! I`m very hungry. - No problem. I can do everything for you, Croc! They profused in the expression of thanks for some time, and then Croc has told everything, up to smallest details. - This Sentinel is scoundrel, isn`t it? - Said Max after Croc`s story. - Yes, he is very strange... - But I don`t know, why that Secret Sentinel and his palace crushed by several beats to gong? - Croc asked. - Oh... - Said Drake. - I think, I know it... Long time ago, one my friend Gobbo, the doctor, told to me about "resonance". - Resonance? What is it? - This is when you beat to many things simultaneously and simultaneously came sounds of this beats. When this happen, some things may broken. - Practicaly understand... but I beaten the gongs not simultaneously! - I hope, I can explain that too. All these gongs are in approximately equal from each other distance. When you beat one, sound waves make to be shaked others gongs, and they do it simultaneously. When you beat another one, this operation repeats, but more stronger. It works, because Secret Sentinel made from crystals, he broken, as well as his palace! - Drake!
