佛夢達：可愛怡家族的命運

序幕　Who-You-You-Who

當艾迪亞聽到一個奇怪的聲音時，她正坐在她最喜歡的長板凳上看書。天空的顏色突然變暗。
戰爭要開始了，這是第二次世界大戰。艾迪亞是住在德國的一個少女，她在班上成績數一數二。她知道世界上每個角落發生的事情，因為她看許多的新聞。她知道納粹正在侵略許多其他國家。
想都別想！愚蠢的德國人！她想。你應該要做的是和盟軍合作。
炸彈的聲音突然在每個人的耳邊爆響開來，此時教堂鐘塔的鐘也剛好敲響了五下。
喔喔！快要晚餐時間了，我最好趕快回家。
艾迪亞跑回家的途中，英軍的炸彈像雨點一樣落下。公園裡開始著火，樹木頓時燃起熊熊火焰，人們忙著抱起他們的小孩逃竄。
我都已經十五歲了，還是覺得那些小嬰孩看起來很惹人厭……噁！
當她正在這樣想時，突然看見一個老人，在周遭一片慌亂之中，安然地坐在一個長椅上閉目打坐。他至少有七、八十歲了，有著滿頭的白髮和很長的白鬍鬚。突然，一陣強風吹過，那個老人不見了！
大概是我的眼睛有毛病吧！艾迪亞眨眨眼，繼續往回家的路上奔跑。
第二天，艾迪亞迫不及待地跑去公園，要看看那個她最喜歡坐在上面看書的長板凳是否依然無恙。雖然別人都覺得她的想法很蠢，因為公園已經被摧毀了，但是，看！它還好好地在那裡！
「Who-You-You-Who。」一個聲音突然出現。
艾迪亞感到背脊一陣發涼。她轉頭撇見一隻枯瘦的手放在她的肩上，一個老人的臉正對著她微微地笑著。
「呀！」艾迪亞大叫一聲，「是你！那個打坐的老人！」
「是的，噓……小聲一點。來，跟我來。」
「我不能跟你走。」
「我知道妳不能，但是妳必須。」
「好吧！」
 

第一章　跳越區

「所以，你叫什麼名字？」艾迪亞問。
「我姓藍普提，」老人回答，「戴天尼‧藍普提。走吧！別浪費時間。」
他們動身，沿著小樹林旁的一條河邊一直走，走了許久。樹木的形狀開始變得奇怪，天空的顏色變成紫色。艾迪亞意識到他們已經置身在一個不一樣的世界裡。
「我們在哪裡？」艾迪亞問。她可以看到在他們前進的方向不遠處有一些建築物。
「噓……在這裡要盡量放低聲音，要不然你就會自找麻煩。這是一個跳越區，叫做周尼波町。它被一個很邪惡的人統治。我告訴妳，他的名字做強柯。」
「等等！你說這一個跳越區，所以，還有很多其他跳越區？」
「是的。一個跳越區在佛夢達的世界裡就像是一個省分一樣。」
「佛夢達？」 
「對了，你的全名是什麼？」
「艾迪亞‧珍妮‧海根。」
「好，艾迪亞‧珍妮‧海根，因為妳在佛夢達背負了一個很重要的任務，在我們碰到危險之前，我必須先教妳一個特別的法力。」
老人戴天尼於是開始示範一些奇怪的手勢。
「不要用──」老人戴天尼還沒來得及把話說完，艾迪亞已經照做。她的雙手捧起來，然後往外甩出去。她的眼睛變成黃色，一陣旋風電漿從她的雙手噴射出來。她突然往上飛起，浮在空中。她所可以看到腳底下的東西，除了老人戴天尼之外，都開始扭曲變形，並捲起來，最終消失，像是被黑洞吸進去了一樣。
「老天！被解決掉了……」老人戴天尼一邊說一邊往後退。
「這一招叫做爾卓式，是一種傳奇性的法力。它可以導致整個跳越區的存在被完全撤回、抵銷掉。」老人戴天尼解釋。
「下一次，請妳小心一點！只有當你真的需要的時候才用它。」他嘆了一口氣。「來吧，是時候上路，開始我們的冒險了。」
 他們動身起行。沒多久，他們看到三個男孩。其中一個，有著咖啡色的頭髮，髮型很奇特，一撮一撮往上刺，背著一個雙肩背包。他跟艾迪亞打招呼：
「嗨！你好！」
「嗯……嗨？」艾迪亞回應。
「我看得出來妳是從地球來的。我跟妳一樣，也是從地球來的。」那個男孩繼續說：「我的名字叫克喜。我有幾個朋友介紹給妳認識。這個是阿米，另外這個是真要昇。我們都是從地球的同一個時間來的，我們來自2017年。你是從哪一年來的？」
「1939 年。」艾迪亞回答。
「是喔！ 我還有另外兩個朋友是從地球來的，蝦肉是從1956年來的，他是日本人。將安是從1972 年來的，他是美國人。 」
「妳身邊這個人是誰？」阿米問艾迪亞。 
「你應該要記得我的！」老人戴天尼說。「我就是發明可以來到佛夢達的『邀請通道』的人！」
「喔！戴天尼‧藍普提！」阿米敲著自己的頭。
真要昇突然插話進來。「嗨！我是真要昇。阿米和我都是克喜的好朋友。」 真要昇說道。「克喜，我們應該要走了，天快黑了！」
「好，我們繼續走吧！」克喜說著，從他的背包裡拿出幾個裝置出來。他把一個平板電腦連結上一個長相奇怪的機器。艾迪亞指著那些機器，說：
「那是什麼？」
「這就是讓我們可以開始這一切的東西！」克喜有點不耐煩。
他按下一個按鈕，前方馬上出現了一個漩渦入口， 把他們全部都吸進去了。他們在一個像蟲洞一樣的空間裡穿梭，正在前往另一個不同的跳越區。此時艾迪亞突然想起一個問題。
「等等，我是怎麼來到這裡的？」艾迪亞問老人戴天尼。
「Who-You-You-Who，這是一個能夠進入『邀請通道』的咒語。」老人戴天尼說。
「你是怎麼來到這裡的？」艾迪亞轉頭問克喜。
「我？喔，這個世界是被我創造出來的！用神祕的大十魔法。」
「嗯……什麼是大十魔法？」
克喜很驚訝，「妳不知道什麼是大十魔法？這從 1999 年開始就有了！喔，我忘了妳是從1939年來的了。」
「嗶嗶嗶嗶……」那個機器傳出了響聲。
「我們到了！」克喜說。前方出現了一個門口。
他們走出去，眾人驚訝得鴉雀無聲。

Prologue　Who-You-You-Who
Adiale was sitting on a bench when she heard a strange sound. The sky went dark.
A war began, it was World War II. As a teenage girl in Germany, Adiale was top of her class. She knew what was happening in every corner of the world because she watched too much news. She knew about the Nazi’s invasion.
Don’t overthink it, you stupid Germans! You should be their allies! Adiale thought.
The sound of bombing started to explode in everyone’s ears. Then, the bell in the tower rang five times.
Uh oh! It’s almost dinner, I’d better get home.
She ran home as English bombs started falling and set the park on fire. The trees burst up in flames, people ran to get their babies and children.
I am a mature 15 year old and I still think the sight of babies are disgusting. Urgh!
But then, she saw in the midst of all the confusion, a man sitting on a bench, meditating. He had to at least be 70 or 80 years old. He had a long white beard with lots of white hair. When a gust of wind came by, the man disappeared!
It must have just been me. Adiale blinked her eyes, then raced home for dinner.
The next day, Adiale went to see if her favorite reading spot was available. Most people would call her dumb, but she wasn’t. When she got there, the bench was in one piece!
“Who-You-You-Who,” a voice said.
A tickle ran along her spine. She turned her head to find a bony hand laid on her shoulder and an old person’s face gently smiling at her.
“Aah!” Adiale yelled. “It’s you! The meditating guy!”
“That’s right. Shh…, you have to be quiet. Here, come with me.”
“But I can’t!”
“I know you can’t, but you have to!”
“Fine!”
 

Chapter I　Jumpers

“So, what’s your name?” Adiale asked.
“Lamputi,” the old man said. “Derteinium Lamputi. Let’s go! No hesitation.”
So they left the park and walked beside a river next to a grove. The trees started to change into a weird shape and the color of the sky was becoming more purple. Adiale soon realized they were in a new world.
“Where are we now?” Adiale asked. She could see some buildings in the distance, in the direction that they were approaching.
“Hush, try to keep low profile here or you will put yourself in big trouble! This is a Jumper called Juniperdinto. It is ruled by an evil man. Let me tell you, his name is Jrunk Lerwan.”
“Wait, did you say THIS Jumper? So there are more?” Adiale asked.
“Yes. A Jumper is like a province in the world of Formonda.”
“Formonda?” 
“Anyway, what’s your full name?” asked Derteinium.
“Adiale Juniphèr Hagën.”
“Ok, Adiale Juniphèr Hagën, because you carry a very important mission here in Formonda, I need to teach you a special power before we run into any danger.”
Then Derteinium started showing Adiale a move using his hands.
“Do NOT use －” Just before Derteinium could finish his sentence, Adiale had tried to mimic the move by cupping her hands and throwing them out in the air. Her eyes turned to yellow, then a plasma was ejected from her hands. Adiale suddenly flew up and was floating in the air. Things that she could see, except for Derteinium, started to twist and roll, then finally disappeared, like being sucked into a black hole.
Adiale just destroyed everything in this Jumper, by accident.
“Oh, my! That settles it…,” said Derteinium while stepping back.
“That was called the ‘Adro’, a legendary power to undo the existence of a Jumper,” Derteinium explained.
“Next time, be careful, please! Only use it when you have to,” he sighed. “Now, it’s time for our adventure.”
They set off. Soon enough on their way, they saw three boys. One of them, with coffee-brown colored spiky hair and carrying a backpack, greeted them,
“Hi!”
“Eh, Hi…?” Adiale responded.
“I can tell that you are from Earth. I’m from Earth, too,” the boy said. “My name is Chrishie. I have a few friends that I want you to meet. This is Armi, and this is TruEthan. We all came from the same time of Earth. We are from the year of 2017. Which year are you from?”
“1939,” Adiale responded.
“I see. There are another two boys from Earth. Sharo is from 1956, he is Japanese. John is from 1972. He is American.”
“Who is this person standing next to you?” Armi asked Adiale.
 “You should remember me!” Derteinium said, “I’m the one who built the Invite Tunnel for entering Formonda.”
“Oh, Derteinium Lamputi!” Armi knocked on his own head.
TruEthan came in that instant. “Hi, I am TruEthan. Armi and I are Chrishie’s best friends.” TruEthan said. “Chrishie, we should get going. It’s getting dark.”
“Okay. Let’s get a move on!” Chrishie took out a few devices from his backpack, then connected a tablet computer to a weird machine. Adiale pointed at the device and asked,
“What is that?”
“The thing that started this whole thing!” Chrishie said impatiently.
He pressed a button, a portal appeared and sucked them in. Now they were travelling in a wormhole, off to a new Jumper. Adiale suddenly thought about something.
“Wait, so how did I get here in the first place?” Adiale asked Derteinium.
“Who-You-You-Who,” Derteinium responded.
“Who-You-What-What?” Adiale asked.
