"Just because the Summon King is dead," called Mr Parker, "doesn't mean that you can flee from us."
The doors of the Summon King swung open, and everyone was shocked to see what was remaining there. All the creatures of Cranning House. The monsters, Losana, Nomm, the fire demons and all sorts.
"What are we gonna do?" Tracy panicked, asking Daisy. "How are we gonna get past them?"
"I'll try to use my spells, all of them," said Daisy. "You lot try and fight them with everything you got."
Tracy, Sapphire and Tee joined the other. "Quick guys," she told them. "After we get all them, we're going to find Johnny and get out of here. Quick, just do everything, we don't need to be scared of them anymore.
Tracy grabbed hold of the sticks and used them to fight the Summoners. Elektra took the bigger weapons and like a warrior, hit them against the new monsters that had arrived.
After minutes of fighting, knocked out Summoners were lying on the floor.
"It's no use," said Mike. "We'll get so tired of it. We'll never keep up with them."
"Hey, what's that?" said, pointing at the far side of the Summon Room. "It looks like a flame."
Sure enough, there was a flame at the side of the room. It started growing bigger and spread around the room.
"Oh no," said Tracy. "We're all gonna die in the fire, and not even escape."
"Guys," said Cam. "See how the fire is on the other side. Maybe we'll try and get our belongings and find a way to escape."
"Yeah," said Daisy. "We can go through the wall that Tee was in. Surely there must be a way through there."
Everyone started rushing to grab their things. They saw a spectacular sight when they saw the fire spreading.
"Wow, all the Summoners and Mr Park are burning!" called Lily.
It was true. The fire had by now reached the Summoners, and Mr Parker was lying dead on the ground. Tracy noticed something else.
"Look where the fire started! There's people there. Who is it?"
Everyone turned to the source of the fire. There were two figures. One appeared to be floating and the other, just holding against the wall.
"It's Johnny and Oz!" shouted Sapphire. "Guys come down here!"
Oz and Johnny had reached the rest. "So clever of you Tracy," said Oz. "I knew you could do it. I was in the furnace. Johnny reached me at one point, and we plotted together. I had to pass you the Rath Knife, and we were waiting for you to detect the Summon King with it. And from the time you did vanquish him, Johnny and I had to set fire to this place. Now we could leave, while these souls are burning. Come quick, before the whole place burns down!"
The Dumping Ground had finally reached the exit of Cranning House. It was still night-time, and they were watching Cranning House burn down. It was such a sight, watching the holiday horror house burn down in front of them. Oz was with them, floating above, as the place burnt to a crisp.
When it was all done, Oz announced his departure. "Well, I'll have to leave you to it now"
"What? You leaving? After all the help you've given us?" Tracy said.
"It's my time to go," said Oz. "Twenty years I have waited for this. I am not alive anymore. I have to leave all of you... maybe to go to another world. Just don't forget me."
"Bye Oz," everyone said to him.
"Goodbye everyone," Oz replied. "Especially you Tracy, for being wise enough to save everyone. And you Johnny, for helping me burn down Cranning House. And you Sapphire, for freeing me in the first place."
He disappeared in a flash, leaving to move on to a different world.
"I think we should head back to Elm Tree," said Mike. "Come, let's try and ring a taxi. Are your phones, working guys?"
"Yeah," everyone said simultaneously.
They hasn't gone that far from the road when they saw the van. The Dumping Ground van.
"How did this get here?" said Tracy. "Maybe Gina came for us... I wonder why she just left her van here."
Mike noticed that the back of the van was open. "Hmm."
Everyone looked inside and got such a surprise. Gina was in the back of the van, tied up, with duct tape around her mouth.
