The Escape
The three heroes who had just recently secured themselves a prophecy stone are now in peril, because of a collapse.
Shagon:"Why do you think this place is collapsing" Pao:"I am pretty sure it was because of all the enchantments the stone powered"
A lot of the corridors collapsed near them and Pao created a magical shield around them all that stopped and destroyed the rocks and pieces of ceiling that dropped on them.
Pao:"We need a way out of here quickly, the entire place is coming down" Shagon:"I agree, we need a way out" Tracker:"Sense any exits nearby"
Tracker:"No, but wait, I think the big part of the collapsing is about to end"
The shaking and most of the big stuff ended
Shagon:"Good, where are we" Pao:"I have no idea, this place does not show up on the map" Tracker:"I sense something weird about all of this"
Shagon:"Well let's try to find a corridor to an exit that has not collapsed" Pao:"Let's go then."
The trio walk around, but there seem no end to these corridors. Shagon:"What is this part of the facility, this has gone on for miles now" Pao:"I agree there, definitely isn't something right about this, maybe if I use the power of the stone on my map, it can reveal what's hidden"
Pao takes the stone and touches the map with it gently, there's a sudden burst of lights and parts of the map, become revealed.
Pao:"Seems like the map broke through the barrier that kept parts of this facility hidden before, seems like the stone wasn't the only think powering this place, this place holds many secrets, but I believe, this place should be destroyed"
Shagon:"But, what if we can use the power to fight Phobos and Nerissa" Pao:"It is obvious, there were experiments here, without the knowledge of Elyon, What I believe there were people here that wanted to rule Earth themselves, it seems like they wanted to use the shadow, stone and whatever they created with them to overthrow Elyon, It is essential for us to destroy whatever they created" Shagon:"How do you know all of this" Pao:" The information was revealed, when the parts on the map where, there was some kind of information coded on the crystal"
Tracker:"A way out on the map?" Pao:"Yeah there is a way out of here very near, but first we got to get to the core of this facility" Tracker:"Why?" Pao:"I already told you that we need to destroy this place and by planting a magical charge there, we can blow this place up"
Tracker:"So are we near the core" Pao:"Luckily, we are but if we go there, the charge will destroy this place before we can reach the exit, so we need to escape some other way" Shagon:" What did you have in mind"
Pao:"Teleporting" Tracker:"But I thought you said, that you can't teleport without those post thingies" Pao:"Well, I can teleport, but I can't focus it without a magical medium, like for example, the guardians could teleport, thanks to the heart of kandrakar to everywhere on the world they were, unless there were certain shields put up, same way Elyon could teleport anywhere on Earth, but leaving the city unguarded, for other normal people, the posts were needed to focus teleportation, I am not sure, but I think I can use this stone as a medium"
Shagon:"I understand, but if you're not sure, why risk it" Pao:"Cause even if I can't, we have to destroy this place, cause even more information has come to the map, it seems like there was a organization calling themselves the Cult of something, can't understand the language, they were planning to destroying Elyon and turning Earth into some ancient society, where they have all the power." Shagon:"What happened to them?" Pao:"I have no idea, but like I said they were able to create a weapon, that completely ignored the power of the crown of light, if this well into the hands of Phobos or Nerissa, they could completely obliterate us, this weapon has no use against anyone else though, they're second phase would've been to destroy Elyon and all who choose to go against them by controlling the shadow"
Shagon:"I understand, this is more important than the stone, we have to destroy this place, so it can't be used against Elyon" Tracker:"I am ready to sacrifice myself for Lady Elyon, though I really hope, we can get away from here, without getting harmed mortally"
The trio without a word head towards the core of the facility.
Tracker:"Is this the core" Pao:"Yes, this is the core" The trio looked at a machine with a large glowing red ball in it. Pao:"This is what kept the map blocked out before I used the stone power to deblock it, it is a magical man made energy source"
Shagon:"Let's plant a charge and get out of here" Tracker:"What is this magical charge exactly" Pao:"It's like a bomb, but it's a magical force that when released, goes out of control and explodes, the unstabilising takes 2 minutes and then the charge explodes, if I activate it, it can't be stopped, this will damage the core a lot and the core will destroy the entire facility, so should I do it"
After a silence of 40 seconds. Shagon:"Arghh, just plant it already" Pao took out a small box, that had 2 parts, she turned one of the part and the box that glowed white before, suddenly started glowing red. Pao:"It's done, no turning back now." Pao planted the charge next to the machine.
Pao:"Ok it's time to teleport" Pao took the stone out and started concentrating on teleporting, suddenly the stone started glowing hard and releasing a aura of energy. Pao:"Sorry, I can't do it, there just isn't enough of energy in one stone" Tracker:"Does that mean, we die" Pao:"Sorry guys I do not see a way out of this" Shagon:"But what about the core, can't you also use the energy from the Core in union to the energy from the stone to teleport"
Pao:"It still won't amount to enough of energy, but you gave me a very good idea here, the explosions, if I time it right I can use the energy from the explosion in union with the energy of the stone to teleport, we only have 10 seconds, it was great to know you and you should know, I ain't sure if I will reach Celenheim this way." The time ran out and the charge exploded, the core exploded, the explosion destroyed the entire facility, the stone drew energy from the stone and Pao was able to use the stone as a medium, after the explosion, the trip appeared in the throne room in Celenheim.
