Hi everyone! So call me crazy, but I decided to have two multi-chapter fanfictions going on at once in this category. I just knew that for all those new readers, you probably don't want to start up on a story that has thirty-five chapters so I decided to add a whole new story with a whole new plot! Now don't worry, I will be updating regularly on BOTH FANFICTION STORIES :D
So have no fear, I will not let you guys down! I hope you all enjoy this story! I really enjoyed writing the first chapter.
Without further ado...Enjoy!
Finn's P.O.V.
I never knew my legs could carry me so fast. It was as if I was in no control of my body whatsoever. My arms flailed recklessly back and forth, my legs strode through the air, gliding in long strides as they meet the pavement. My quick breaths almost masked all sounds around me; sounds that I was aware I needed to be monitoring. I was not even sure how much longer I could run at this speed.
"FINN! COME ON!" a shrill pitched voice screamed. As I craned my neck up at the long structure that made up the Mayan pyramid, I noticed Amanda perched up in the pyrotechnics office, flailing her arms and legs. It was a difficult distance to tell, but it looked like she had been crying. Her complexion was an unusual beat red, and her normally big, sparkling eyes were now puffy and bloodshot. I was aware of the plan Philby had come up with to lure in the Overtakers. It was simple: all I had to do was run. Run through the world showcase and right to the Mayan pyramid, leading the Overtakers as close to the lake as possible. When I make it inside safely, Amanda and Jess were supposed to set off the fire effects, hopefully distracting the Overtakers while Wayne gets us out safely. I was now approaching the steps to the entrance to the pyramid. twenty feet, fifteen feet, ten feet...I was so close yet so far away.
"Watch out!" Willa cried, perched right inside the entranceway next to Philby, ready to hit the emergency switch to lock down the pyramid. Supposedly in case of a hurricane, the Cast Members used this button to electronically lock down the pyramid to avoid any damages inside. I craned my neck back and whipped my head around, only to come upon Gigabyte, right at my heels. He struck at me every few seconds, his gut-wrenching jaws poking out, ready to sink themselves in my skin. I knew the only way to make it was to jump.
"Be ready guys! I'm jumping in!" I shouted, beginning to make the preparations to jump the distance. Sadly enough, I was no Charlene, nor Maybeck. I can not run at incredible speeds for long times nor can I jump amazing distances. I argued with Philby, infuriated why he would choose me, plain old Finn, to complete such a dangerous task. His response was long and drawn out, and nearly put everyone asleep, but it basically summarized to: they want you the most.
I bent my knees, swung my arms behind my shoulders and flew off the ground, violently thrusting the rest of my body with me. It was about a ten foot jump, a distance not even close to my average long jump distance. My person best was only six feet and three inches, so this was going to be interesting. Afraid of the outcome, I pinched my eyes shut and braced myself for the landed, only to realize I was being grabbed at and pulled to an extreme where I thought my body was going to snap in half.
They got me.
"Help me out, would you, Whitman?!" Maybeck snapped. As I peeled my eyes open, I soon realized that it was him who grabbed me. He was now hanging halfway out of entrance to the pyramid, attempting to pull both his and my weight back inside. Charlene stood at his heels, holding him down so he didn't fall. He struggled, but within seconds we were flung inside. I tumbled backwards into the roughly textured floor, which unfortunately for me was made to look authentic, and not to ease falling. As my head nearly collided with the solid ground, I realized that I was being flung over someone...Then again, I flipped over someone. A soft groan came out from under me and I soon realized that I had completely crushed Charlene. As I lifted my head, I saw the door begin to slide shut and at the other end a loud, painful thump rung, echoing in the room for a couple seconds, indicating that Gigabyte had crashed.
"Hey Finn...Mind getting off of me?!" Charlene cried, pinned down on her stomach. Maybeck stood at our side, snickering like the normal jerk he is would. Once he got a good laugh out of all of this, he gave me a hand, carelessly pulling me off the ground. Next, he made his way down to Charlene, scooping her up as if she was a baby and carefully placing her back on the ground. It was evident...the daggers she was glaring in his direction.
"Eh hem..." Willa coughed, stifling her giggles. Maybeck and Charlene immediately grew red and wandered away from each other. Philby just smirked and shrugged before making his way to the trap door on the ceiling to let Jess and Amanda down. Only he would have discovered this secret trapdoor, which led to a staircase that eventually met its way at the pyrotechnics office.
"Thanks!" Jess smiled as she leapt out of the trapdoor, closing the ceiling tile down as she cascaded gracefully towards the ground. She rounded out in a pose that Charlene said is called "sticking it", receiving a round of applause from both Charlene and Willa. The group erupted into a fit of giggles as we all made our way towards the San Angel Inn restaurant, the destination where Wayne told us he had left the fob. In a letter describing this plan we just executed, his informed us that he would stop by once we returned to our beds and it was safe for him to pick up the fob. We all knew we could trust his plans without any questioning.
"Hey, ummm...Before we cross back over, do you think we could hang out a bit? I mean-we never have time to really relax and we're guaranteed that we're Overtaker free when we are locked in here." Amanda suggested.
"Why not?" Philby shrugged, deciding to mess around with an electrical box near the entrance to the restaurant that would normally not be visible to the naked eye. Yet then again, he is Philby. Lights began to flood the whole pyramid, making it much easier for us to see each other. The thin line tracing our DHIs glowed brightly, although most of our lines flickered. I knew it could only be from the fear we felt, and there was no possibility that something could be wrong with our DHIs. We all made our way to one of the tables, pulling three extra chairs so there was enough for the seven of us.
"So?" Maybeck finally said, after an awkward silence fell upon the group.
"Should we discuss tonight?" Charlene asked, although she seemed a bit distracted. She twirled her hair playfully, and I could see out of the corner of my eye that every few seconds she would glance over at Maybeck who sat next to her. Something was definitely up between the two and they weren't doing a great job at concealing it.
"I think we should wait until tomorrow until our minds are all clear and we've gotten a couple hours of sleep." Philby suggested, and soon all heads were nodding in agreement.
"I'd just like to say though...Did anyone else find the purpose of tonight's mission a little odd?" Willa asked, her eyes expressing concern.
"At first I thought Wayne wanted us to get count of how many Overtakers were guarding Epcot, but now I don't really think so. It just all seems so weird..." Philby responded.
"Well I guess we'll find out tomorrow? I think though before we go to sleep at 8:30, we should IM just to discuss a bit. Maybe there's something up with Wayne...I just have a feeling." Maybeck announced. I didn't fully agree with something being fishy with Wayne but I decided to agree in order to not cause a commotion.
"So tomorrow, 7:30 we'll all meet in our private D-Gamer room on AIM. Get to bed around 8:15 so we could all cross over. And I guess we will take it from there?" I finalized. Everyone nodded in response. I could tell everyone was drained of their energy, too tired to even say "yes", or "okay". I peered over at the fob lying in the middle of the table. As everyone wearily began to connect hands, I grabbed the fob and held it over the table, making it easier for Wayne to find later. I felt someone squeeze my hand tightly and as I looked to my left, I realized it was Amanda. Her smile was faint, and her eyes showed her exhaustion, but the squeeze back I sent her seemed to really lift her spirits as her eyes immediately lit up. And with that, I pressed the button.
TA DA! Chapter one on my new story is now up! Woo hoo c; This was very exciting to sort of be detaching myself from "Disney Disaster: Is the Magic Gone?" but not entirely because I'll still be updating regularly on that too! It's funny, I always had thought about writing two multi-chapter stories at once, but was too afraid to. Now altogether, I'm writing four different multi chapters [some are in other categories], but I thought that was pretty cool! So what did you guys think? Good...Bad? Love...Hate?
Please review and let me know! I love hearing from you guys!
Well, ta ta for now!
