Ok all the usual at the start, I do not own lazy town or any of the characters, this is a fluffy but hopefully a more dramatic then usual and please be nice I am a dyslexic and it can cause me trouble with spelling. This story is some what based around the film Labyrinth if you haven't seen it then I suggest you watch it . . . it is a very cool film.
Maze of love.
Chapter one: Captured!
For once all was quiet in Lazy Town, Robbie Rotten appeared for once to be taking a brake from causing his usual mischief and staying away from every one in town.
This meant there for that Sportacus was enjoying a rather peaceful afternoon walk with no interruptions from Robbie causing trouble for him or with out any one needing his help because Robbie was well being rotten to them.
In some ways he missed Robbie's mischief making because it meant that at the moment Sportacus was not doing as much as he use too and he found this rather boring on occasions.
On the other hand though Sportacus was also enjoying the peace that Robbie taking a brake from being evil was giving him, it had given time for Sportacus to think about something that had been pressing on his mind for some time now and draw a conclusion about it.
It had taken Sportacus a while to admit it to himself but the reason he had even first decided to stay in Lazy Town and the reason he was still here some four years later was Stephanie, his sweat Stephanie, she had grown into such a fine young woman of eighteen and boy was he completely and utterly in love with her.
Sportacus's main problem now was how on this green earth he was supposed to tell Stephanie that he was in love with her, Sportacus had no idea but he knew it had to be something that was special, very special.
Truth be told Sportacus was also worried about what Stephanie's reaction to a confession of his feelings would be, he was terrified that she would reject him and at the same time filled with hope that maybe she felt the same way about him as he did about her.
Sportacus reached up and pinched his brow, boy love sure was good at making him feel horribly confused he had to make a decision, did he tell Stephanie he loved her or did he run for the hills? The answer to that question came vividly into his mind Stephanie smiling up at him her brown eyes sparkling with laughter, Sportacus felt all the love he felt for Stephanie well up in his heart at that one image in his mind, so Sportacus decided to tell her what he felt and blow the out come of his confession, after all Stephanie deserved to know, Sportacus knew that needed to be open with her and himself about all of this.
Now with his mind made up as to what he was going to do Sportacus strode towards Stephanie's house, however he didn't get very far, as suddenly a hand clamped over his mouth from behind him, Sportacus's eyes widened he raised one hand to pull the hand away but before he could reach the offending hand something was wrapped tightly round the writs of the arm he had lifted and Sportacus felt his whole arm go weak.
Sportacus felt panic stab threw him what in heavens name going on? He had no idea but he knew that he had to get away and get away now! However before Sportacus could make a move to escape his other hand was pulled roughly behind him and also bound with the same substance that arm began to weaken also, then he felt them being tied forcefully together behind his back, Sportacus felt both of his arms go completely weak, Sportacus panicked slightly, these bonds they had to be sugar to be doing this to him, it could only be sugar but it usually only had this effect if he digested it so how was this happening to him when he was only being bound? Sportacus had no idea but now he knew that he was in real trouble and had to get away quickly.
The hand let go of Sportacus's mouth, he opened it to cry out, this however turned out to be what his captor had wanted and a gag of this strange sweat tasting substance was pulled forcefully into his mouth making his face go slightly numb and as he tasted the sugar of it Sportacus sensed his body weaken considerably.
Sportacus felt his legs being bound with these mysterious bonds all the way to his knees, both his legs went weak and he fell forwards onto his knees completely unable to do anything but kneel there, with his hands bound tightly behind his back, his head hung in dejection and his sky blue eyes filled with anger were focused on the floor.
Sportacus had never felt so helpless or furious in his whole life, as a hero he was trained to rescue others but what did a hero do when he needed to be rescued? He had absolutely no idea on that score what so ever.
Then a hand came under his chin, the hand lifted his face up none to gently, and Sportacus's blue eyes met Robbie's grey blue ones and the villain of Lazy Town laughed in Sportacus's face. "Finally after all these years of trying to get rid of you, I have you as my prisoner but this isn't the end for you, oh no Sprtakook I have even more planned to make sure you never get free of your captivity. I have designed an enchanted maze which will hold you in it's centre as my captive forever, after all no one will know what has happened to you or were to look it's the perfect prison for you. Whilst you are out of the way I can finally get Lazy Town back to the way I like it lazy and I also plan to somehow get rid of that pink cheerleader friend of yours."
When Robbie suggested he was going to hurt Stephanie or even get rid of her Sportacus's face took on a livid expression and he tried to struggle against his bonds but it was no good Sportacus was just to weak to do much of anything.
Robbie laughed cruelly at Sportacus as he saw what Sportacus was trying to do and then spoke in a sickly sweat voice. "Aww what's that matter don't want me hurting little miss pinkie well tough, I'll do what ever it takes to get her out of the way! And as for trying to get free I wouldn't bother, I've worked long and hard to make sure that me special sugar bonds would debilitate you more or less completely." Robbie let go of Sportacus's chin satisfied with the fact that Sportacus was completely helpless.
Sportacus stared at Robbie he felt so useless, there was nothing he could do to protect Stephanie from Robbie or get himself free of his bonds. Robbie's voice however interrupted these dark musings. "Oh Spirit of the maze which I have created come to me."
Sportacus's eyes widened as from thin air appeared a woman, with long brown hair, dark brown eyes, she wore all floating white and had large white wings, her eyes fell on Robbie and she spoke. "Yes one who created me what do you desire of me?"
"Ah there you are, you my maze are to take this man and keep him at the centre of your maze." Robbie said to her in a commanding voice.
"Yes my lord." She assented her head and turned to Sportacus, her eyes were filled with compassion for Sportacus when she saw what Robbie had done to him.
A white light surrounded the still bound Sportacus gently he floated up into thin air and was laid level in mid air by the power that surrounded him. At this point Robbie left the Spirit to do the rest of the work and slunk off satisfied that Sportacus was well and truly out of action.
Lazy Town blurred before Sportacus's eyes and then suddenly he was somewhere else, this had to be the centre of the maze, it was purple Robbie's favourite colour and the walls of the maze were really high.
Sportacus was hating absolutely every second of this run in with Robbie and just wanted to scream with aggravation at his present state.
The maze Spirit appeared beside him and Sportacus looked up at her his blue eyes wide with shock, the maze Spirit smiled at him gently and spoke. "Sportacus, yes, I know who you are Robbie told me, I'm sorry for the way that you are and I don't agree with what he has done to you one jot. I need you to listen to me closely, I can only let one person into my maze, only this one person can come to save you that is part of the rules he put on me, but Robbie didn't say that I couldn't ask you who you would like to save you nor did he say I couldn't go to get them. So please let me help you, picture in your mind who you would like to save you and I shall go and get the person for you."
Sportacus managed to smile slightly for the maze Spirit it was good to know she was on his side, he closed his eyes, well there was only really one person in the whole world that Sportacus would want to come and save him, his mind focused instantly on Stephanie and the Spirit spoke as soon as he did this. "I will go to the one you love at once and bring her to this place to save you."
Sportacus's ice blue eyes flew open and he stared wide-eyed at the Spirit, she raised both eyebrows at him slightly amused by his reaction to her words. "What you really think I wouldn't be able to pick up on that emotion being attached to her. It was completely obvious from the way you thought about her, that you love Stephanie and don't bother trying to contradict me I know the truth when I see it."
Sportacus closed his eyes, if he had been able to he would have sighed at how easily the Spirit had picked up on what he felt for Stephanie. The Spirit smiled down at Sportacus fondly and then in a flash of white light she was gone.
