After a few months, Joey and four other Walkers went on a training mission. They were supposed to retrieve some signal beacons in a more scientific earth. But the earth they went to turned out to be a "shadow realm" and is in fact a trap, set by the same people who captured him earlier from HEX. Everyone in the team was captured by HEX, except Joey who was saved by Hue. When Joey escaped back to HQ, the leader, an old man named Joe (a.k.a. Old Man), decided that Joey is not capable of working in InterWorld, and wiped Joey's mind of his life in InterWorld. Joey was then sent home, where he thought nothing had happened, but feels like something is missing. After some time, while blowing bubbles with his little brother, Joey remembers Hue, and every memory about the Altiverse comes back to him. With all those memories back, Joey said goodbye to his family, Walks into the Altiverse again, and set off to save his teammates.
