Calvin and Hobbes landed inside the giant black cloud. There was a big machine that was mass-producing Snow Goons by the second, and a portal that sent the Snow Goons down to Port Mystic.
Hobbes heard loud noises coming from a door that read "DO NOT ENTER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES! THIS MEANS YOU!"
"I think we found out where the big boss is." said Calvin as they ran inside.
Behind the door was a colossal spiral staircase leading up. Calvin and Hobbes couldn't see the top.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" roared a deep voice "You pathetic ingrates! You will never foil my never-ending staircase! Your witchling friends are doomed! MUHUHAHAAHAHA!"
"Oh yeah?" called Calvin "watch us!"
Calvin and Hobbes ran up the stairs as fast as they could. About a half-hour later, they were still climbing to the top.
"How long have we been climbing?" panted Calvin as he took a deep wheeze.
"I don't know, I lost track when I couldn't feel my knees!" moaned Hobbes.
They looked at the statues of Snow Goons that were all over the stairs.
"What do you suppose these things are for? If you ask me, they really don't bring out the-"
"That's it!" exclaimed Hobbes "That is how we get to the top!"
"How?"
"See how that Snow Goon statue's arm is pointing down? We should go down!"
"Why? It'll only get us farther away from the top."
"Just trust me!" said Hobbes as he took off back down. Calvin quickly followed.
They ran down the stairs until they came across another statue.
"Now this Snow Goon statue is pointing up, so let's try going that way!"
They ran back up and they came to another statue that was pointing up again.
Calvin and Hobbes followed the pattern until they finally came to the big doors at the top.
"Wow, what would I do without you, Hobbes?" asked Calvin, grateful.
"Let's answer that question later! First, we need to save the girls and put a stop to the Snow Goons' evil plans!"
"Right, let's go!"
They opened the doors and walked inside. The big showdown was about to begin!
