This was hard to do. Hope you still like it! And yes, the only thing that Vania's father did was only that, just tied her up.
XxXxXxXx
The Ninja continue to fall. Cole has both Rocky and Blaze holding tightly to him buut they didn't know where Alizeh was.
Cole is able to turn around so he's now falling backwards and see's Master Wu, Alizeh is clinging to his cape. "Master Wu! Are you ok?!"
"What!?" Wu calls.
"I said are you ok!?"
Wu had a hand around his ear in hopes of hearing Cole better. "For the moment, yes!"
"Speed up! I can't hear you!"
"I'm falling as fast as I can! You have to slow down!"
"How?!"
"Use your Elemental Powers!"
"What?!"
"Your Elemental Powers! Use your powers to slow down!" He flaps his arms.
"Why is he flapping like a bird?" Blaze asked, while clinging to Cole.
"Maybe that'll help us slow down." Rocky said, while clinging to the other side of Cole.
"You really think that would work?!" Cole calls to Wu.
"Yes!"
Cole is uncertain. "Ok, here goes nothing." He looks at both boys. "Be careful boys." He warns, before he flaps his arms. "It's not working!"
"Master Wu!" Princess Vania calls behind Wu, causing Wu to turn around so he and Alizeh are falling backwards like the boys.
"Princess Vania?" Alizeh asks as the Princess is flying down towards them.
"I'm coming! But you have to slow down!"
"How?!" Wu calls.
"Use your arms, like this!" She flaps her arms.
"Jumping jacks?" Alizeh asks confused.
"It's worth a shot." Wu said and starts to flap his arms, but stops. "Oh, what am I doing?" He grouched, then calls to Vania. "It's no use! That won't work!"
"I've got an idea!" Cole calls. "Ok boys, I need you to let go of me for a moment."
"What!?" Rocky cried. "No!"
"I'm too scared!" Blaze added.
"Hold each other's hands." Cole instructed. "It'll be ok."
Rocky and Blaze looked at each other before grabbing their hands and letting go of Cole, who flipped back forward, he reaching for a vine and it slowed his fall for only a few seconds till the vine breaks.
"I need a bigger vine." Cole grabs another, but all it did was make him swing, and he slams into a wall and he continues to fall.
By this time Master Wu catches up to him, Alizeh is still clinging to his back. "Cole! Stop playing with those twigs and stay with me." Wu tells him, and soon they join hands.
"Gotcha!"
Suddenly Rocky and Blaze both grab Cole. "And we have you!" Rocky smiles.
"Hang on! I'm almost there!" Vania calls.
"Are you sure those wings will hold us of us!?" Cole asks her.
"No, but it's our only chance! Now reach!" She calls, stretching out her arm. Both Cole and Wu grabs her arm. "Gotcha!" Suddenly the wings break. "Oh no!"
"We're dropping faster!" Alizeh cried.
"Daddy!" Rocky cried.
"It'll be ok Champ. Just try to stay close." Cole reached for his son and pulled him onto his back, then reached for Blaze's hand.
"What do we do?" Vania asks.
"Firstly, allow me to say you are handling this situation remarkably well." Wu tells her.
Vania smiles at him. "Thank you, but I'm with you and Cole and I'm sure you've been in way worse situations."
Wu blinks. "Uhhh." He's at a loss for words.
"Uh, nope." Cole confirms.
Vania frowns. "But I'm sure you have a plan."
"Not me!" Cole said.
Vania looks at Wu.
"Alas, no." Wu said.
Vania starts to panic, then screams just before they fall onto a sticky spiderweb. They see bones and weapons around them.
"This is not an improvement." Wu said.
The Ninja struggle. "Dad, I can't move!" Rocky cried.
"Neither can I." Cole said. "None of us can." He struggles. "It's - it's not working. I'm just getting more and more stuck."
"We have to calm down and think. I read in a book by the highly acclaimed adventurer and explorer, Clutch Powers, that the key to staying calm is to do vocal exercises like." She then screams.
They all scream, a spider snatches Cole up and covers him in a web.
"Dad!" Rocky cries.
Master Wu struggles against the spiders web. "Hold on, Cole!"
"Cole! Try to remain calm!" Vania tells him, just as another spider comes out.
"What's happening? I can't see anything!" You can barely hear Cole's voice.
"That's probably for the best!" Wu exclaimed.
"There are two giant spiders fighting over you." Vania tells Cole.
"What? Get them away from me!"
"Uh, they have very large fangs and both look very hungry. Ooh, but the good news is, they just dropped you and are now fighting each other." Vania starts to give a play-by-play, suddenly a third spider shows up. "Uh oh!"
""Uh oh"? What did "Uh oh" mean?" Cole questions, still trapped inside the web.
"There's a third spider, and it looks even more hungry than the others."
"Now what's going on?" Cole's voice comes from the web.
"It's going to eat you!" Vania cried.
"Do something!"
"I am doing something!" Vania cried, finally breaking free and throws an object at the spider. "Take that!" She throws another object at the spider, but spider turns to attack her. "Oh no!" She hurls a Naginata, then a shield. "Ok. Get away. Shoo. Shoo! Bad spider. Bad!"
The three kids are able to break free and run over to the web of Cole, just as Master Wu breaks free and Vania kicks a Naginata to him. Wu cuts Cole free.
They all regroup in the middle of the spiderweb.
"What do we do?" Vania asks.
"I'm thinking." Wu said.
The three spiders start to surround them.
"This can't be good!" Vania gasps.
"I have an idea, but I don't think you're gonna like it." Cole said.
"Just do it!" Wu told him.
Cole looks at him. "Uh, if you say so!" Cole takes the Naginata from Wu, then cuts the spiderweb, and the drop.
XxXxXxXx
Wu sighs. "We're falling again."
"Well, falling is better than being eaten by spiders." Cole said.
"I suggest that none of us tell our parents what's happening right now." Blaze said as he looked at Rocky and Alizeh, the two quickly nod.
"Agreed." They said in union.
"It's not the falling I'm worried about. It's the landing." Vania tells Cole and Wu.
They land on a slop and start sliding. "Take my hand!" Wu calls to Cole. "Before we get." Suddenly they get seperated. "Sperated!"
"Now this part is fun!" Alizeh smiles as she, Rocky, and Blaze slide around with Master Wu.
"Master Wu?" Cole calls. "Rocky!"
"Cole!"
"Daddy!"
"Are you still falling?" Cole calls to them.
"More like sliding!" Wu tells him.
"Ok, just checking. We are, too."
Soon they land in water, and soon everyone surfaces with Vania wearing Wu's hat.
"This is outrageous." Wu said.
"There's nothing to hold onto." Cole said.
"If only mom was here!" Rocky cried.
"Grab onto those rocks!" Wu calls.
They're quick to do so, creating a human chain as they grab each other as Cole holds on tightly to the rock, but is soon lets go and they continue down the water, till they get to a bigger rock. Cole makes it first and helps each of them up.
"Rocky, are you ok?" Cole asks as he holds his son.
"I'm ok."
"Blaze, are you ok?" Cole soon asks.
"I think so."
Soon the rock turns out to be a stone turtle, who bucks them off his back. And everyone falls back into the wall and down a waterfall, then soon find themselves in a whirlpool.
"Help!" Vania cries.
"Now what?" Alizeh asks.
"It's a whirlpool!" Cole cried. "It's like a giant toilet that's been flushed, except in this case, we're the."-
"We know, Cole." Wu cuts him off. "Just swim."
They soon start to swim, when Wu looks above them. "Cole! The stalactites! Break them off! Use your powers!"
"How? I can't reach them!"
"You can do it. You have to try!" Wu tells him, and Cole stops swimming and looks up, and powers up his earth punch. "Cole, you can do it! You are surrounded by Earth! Connect with your Element! Your powers should be stronger than ever!"
"You can do it dad!" Rocky encouraged.
"Concentrate, Cole!" Vania calls.
Cole successfully drops the stalactite into the middle of the whirlpool, stopping it. everyone swims to it. Blaze, Rocky, and Alizeh climb onto the top of it, followed by the adults.
"Great job dad!" Rocky smiles at his father, who was breathing heavily.
"I, I think we're safe now." Wu said.
"We just need to find a way out of here. And let's avoid going further down." Vania said.
"Is that even possible?" Rocky questions.
"How can we get any lower?" Cole questions, slamming his arms onto the stalactite, accidentally breaking it.
"Uh oh." Vania, and Alizeh said in union.
Soon they fall into a pool. Cole swims towards the three kids, grabbing them brings them to the surface, all three are unconscious. Making sure they're ok, he hurries over to the pool and soon drags out Vania and Wu are are also unconscious. Cole soon lays down on his back, closing his eyes.
Until a shadow hovers over him, Cole is quick to his feet.
"The good King Vangelis has cast you out, has he? Well, fear not, weary travelers, for you are safe now. You are in Rock-Bottom, and there is no further to fall."
A spider soon joins them, and Cole quickly backs away from it.
"Relax, pal, that's just Adam. He's harmless." The hooded man told him.
"You are safe here. You are among us. The Lowly." The third man tells Cole.
"Huh?" Cole stares at all four of them. "What?"
"Might as well get used to it, because there ain't no way back up. This is your new home, pal."
After everything that's happened in the last 24 hours, and being exhausted, Cole faints.
