Chapter Four: Battle of Yoshihito Village
Yoshihito Village, MooShu, Miranda's POV
"What are Ian and Jacqueline doing here?" I asked. The view was still black, full of dust and ash from the explosion. The smoke covered the entire window, but I noticed Holly peering through the hole in the door.
"I see them walking, and OH BARTLEBY THEY'RE KILLING XIN!" Holly grabbed her fans, I grabbed my trident, and John and Alex grabbed their staffs. Ian and Jacqueline turned toward us.
"The so-called wonderful group is back. Too bad you won't see the end of this." Jacqueline promptly took out her XShuBooms. XShuBooms were throwing stars in the shape of skulls that detonated. Ian took out his double swords.
"Time for the end pretty lady?" He was looking at Holly, who flipped open her fans. At this moment, the battle began.
Ravenwood Dorms, Fiona IceCatcher's Dorm, Destiny's POV
I pulled out the fliers I had my backpack and moved it to a blue messenger bag. The flyers read:
THE SHADOW CRYPT IS REAL!
DON'T DENY IT! THE EVIL IS ACTUALLY THERE, AND YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IT!
FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THE SHADOW CRYPT:
VISIT DRAGONSPYRE THIS FRIDAY AT 6:30PM! AND BE READY TO EXPLORE!
I took the Icy broom and walked out of the dorm room. Jumping on it, I ran with it between my legs and then jumped off the dock, the flyers flowing out. Then suddenly, I heard a ZIP! in the air. There was a sharp pain in the lower right corner of my stomach. Then, I fell unconscious.
Yoshihito Village, MooShu, Miranda's POV
The battle was going strong. Jacqueline and Ian caused a lot of damage, but it was okay, because Jenna was in pursuit of Jacqueline and Holly was in pursuit of Ian. The battle was going great until I felt a fierce pain in my arm. I collapsed on to the hard dirt ground, unconscious.
Holly's POV
After I had trapped Ian in some ivy, I heard Alex calling me to where the statue of Emperor Yoshihito (now burning) was. On the ground was Miranda, unconscious. I flipped off the roof to the scene.
"Okay guys," Alex began, "Here's the plan. Holly, heal Miranda and get to Estella. John and I will get rid of the fire at the Town Palace and then we can all escape together. Now, start!"
Alex started making it snow and then tried to freeze the fire. I pressed by hands to her stomach and her forehead, muttering the Rota. "I use the power invested in me to heal Yi Miranda for the safety of the world and my friends."
Miranda blinked and asked, "What happened?" I pulled her over to Estella, seeing the fire going out. Miranda was on the softest part of Estella, a cushion. It would take a few hours for the Rota to set in. Alex and John finally got to Estella.
"Thanks for that heroic action," Alex said. He kissed me on the cheek and I blushed, my face beaming red.
"Are you okay?" John asked.
"Yeah, fine," I replied, smiling at Alex. Then, he smiled back.
SpellCrafter Interrogation Center, Olde Town, Destiny's POV
When I woke up, blue eyes were staring me in the face. "Ah!" I yelped.
"What did I tell you Destiny?" a girl next to Ambrose asked. The girl had silky blonde hair that kept turning brown. Her pink lips were pursed together and her green eyes seemed mysterious. I looked down and I was tied to a chair.
"Um, you said stay out of Wizard City."
"Then why are you here?" Ambrose yelled.
I teared up a bit. "To reveal the location of the Shadow Crypt."
"Not this time. We cannot lose ANOTHER wizard to the Shadow Crypt. You are to leave IMMDIATELY." The guards shoved me, my bag, and my scimitar into the Spiral Gate. When I got out, I was in the Krokotopia Spiral Chamber, alone.
North-Eastern MooShu, Miranda's POV
I woke up on the cushion on Estella. Oh now I remember, I fell unconscious.
"Miranda's awake," John chimed. Holly and Ying rushed to hug me.
"Finally! We've been waiting on you to wake up."
I was still a little groggy, so I asked, "Where are we?"
"Well, we left Yoshihito Village 3 hours ago. Right now we're almost the main part," Ying answered. Everything felt great until I heard a laugh and an XShuBoom flew over our heads.
Estella got so low that we could hear her tearing through buildings. It was Ian and Jacqueline again. My way of solving the problem was lightning strikes. They sure scared them.
"Phew, that was close," Holly said as we landed, walking inside the Chamber.
DragonSpyre, Destiny's POV
I pressed my key into the air and walked into the portal. When I looked up, Bailey was grinning at me. And she had her sword out too.
