They landed in the middle of a cobblestone street lined with squat stone houses. Occasionally, someone walked by, usually stopping for a moment to stare at the four of them. In the distance, Youngblood swore that he saw a castle. He gazed across this unfamiliar landscape, but he still had no idea where Figment could have possibly taken them. Revenge and Pepper looked equally confused. "Where are we?" Youngblood finally asked.

"Orléans, France, and the year is 1430," Figment said. He shrugged and then added, "I wanted to meet Joan of Arc."

"What if the Watch finds us?" Pepper asked.

"I think we'll be okay," Figment said. "We'll wait here for a little while, and once we're sure that it's safe, we'll get back to business. In the meantime, maybe I'll get to meet one of my favorite historical figures!"

"That would be cool," Pepper said. "Joan of Arc was a total badass."

"I know, right?" Youngblood said.

Meanwhile, Revenge had gotten distracted. "Hey, I found a tavern!" he exclaimed. "Can I..."

"Absolutely not," Figment said before he could even finish his sentence.

Revenge didn't listen. He opened the door to the tavern and went inside. At first, nothing out of the ordinary happened. The tavern was mostly empty, with only a few medieval peasants inside, but before long, all of them were talking about the young man with the jet black hair and the painted face. Pepper poked his head inside and said, "Revenge, get back out here. You're drawing too much attention."

"So?" Revenge said.

Pepper was about to say something, but all of a sudden, Billie Joe Armstrong appeared inside the tavern. Youngblood was more than a little bit starstruck. He'd always wanted to meet Billie, although he had no idea what the Green Day singer was doing in medieval France.

"Oh hey Billie," Pepper said.

"You're friends with Billie Joe Armstrong?" Revenge said.

"Yeah, we toured together last year," Pepper said.

"That's so cool," Youngblood said. As ambivalent as he was about how famous My Chemical Romance would become, he couldn't wait to go on tour with Green Day. That would be like a dream come true.

"That's enough chit-chat," Billie said. "You're all coming with me. Y'know, I thought there might be more than one of you running around, but I didn't think there would be four of you in the same place at the same time..."

While Billie talked, Figment quickly typed something into his wristwatch. Youngblood wasn't sure what Billie was up to, but he knew that he'd never take him alive.

In an instant, all of the time travelers were gone, leaving the people in the tavern even more confused than they already were. Maybe it was magic or witchcraft or an act of God, but all of them were sure that they had seen something extraordinary, even if nobody could figure out exactly what it was.
