7. Chapter Six: The Key of Destruction

Secret Chamber

3:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time

(Skipper's POV)

We willingly followed The Golden Squirrel and his three warriors into the secret chamber. The secret door slid closed behind us and we could hear the lava pit fill back up beyond it. We entered a gilded chamber with all kinds of squirrel symbols etched into the walls. In the center of the room was a giant compass with giant squirrel statues aligned with the four cardinal directions. Each statute had a Elemental symbol on it Water for the North, Wind for the South, Fire for the East, and Earth for the West. The floor had a giant golden world map etched into it with drawings of every signal world-ending disaster.

"Um Skipper," Kowalski said pointing to the ceiling, "that doesn't look good."

I looked up to see a flaming asteroid etched into the ceiling, "No it does not," I said.

"IF I could direct you attention to the plinth in the center of the compass that all the statues are facing," The Golden Squirrel said, "there you will find your coming doom."

We all turned to said plinth that the warriors had already gathered around. It was more of a stone table held up by an statue of The Golden Squirrel ripping the earth in two. On top of the plinth's table-top was a stone box and on top of that was a raised stone cylinder. On top of the cylinder was a flat disc with a very familiar shape curved into it.

The Golden Squirrel had a evil smile on his face…which was unsettling on Fred's face. The Golden Squirrel seemed to exude triumph as he disconnected the squirrel head from The Key to The Treasure of The Golden Squirrel.

"You know this key is referred to as The Key to The Treasure of The Golden Squirrel…but it also goes by an older…darker name…"

"Let me guess," Kowalski said, "obviously it's very cliché…"

"SILENCE!" The Golden Squirrel boomed, "Soon you shall witness the untold power of The Key of Destruction!"

"Cliché," Kowalski said.

"Touché," The Golden Squirrel replied.

The Squirrel then slammed the Squirrel head (eye's down) into it's curving. Obsidian then removed The Golden Squirrel head as the raised stone cylinder quickly lowered into the stone box…which then lowered into the center of the plinth…which then lowered into the center of the compass which was then highlighted in golden light. Four lines of golden light then shot out across the floor stopping at the bases of each of the statutes. The eyes of the squirrel statutes flashed and then glowed a blood red. And then the world map on the floor was highlighted with golden light, followed by the symbols on the walls and the flaming asteroid symbol on the ceiling.

Kowalski pulled out his compass and then turned to me, "Skipper! That compass on the floor is perfectly aligned to True North!"

"There is nothing you can do!" The Golden Squirrel said as his warriors started to chant in a ancient language, "The end of the world is nigh!"

And then a giant glowing portal opened and on the other side was the Central Park obelisk. The three warriors and The Golden Squirrel their eyes glowing red then walked into the portal.

"A whole bunch of glowing red eyes," I said, "this is beyond not good."

"I Concur," Kowalski said.

"What are our options here," Marlene asked.

"Follow them," I said.

"You mean through the big scary portal?" Maurice asked.

"Nothing's gonna happen Maurice," I said, "trust us we been through these kinds of things multiple times."

"And this is the most stable portal I ever seen," Kowalski said.

"So what does a unstable portal look like?" Maurice said.

And then the portal started to send out bolts of lighting and started to Pulsate and get very wavy.

"Like that," Kowalski said as the portal started to get more unstable.

"That portal can't last much longer and it's our only way out!" I said, "MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!"

"Plus we don't want to be on this side when it closes," Kowalski said.

"Um why not," Marlene said.

"Because unstable portal tend to explode went they close," Kowalski said, "and you do not want to be in a enclosed space when that happens."

"Um why?" Maurice said.

"He'll explain later!" I said as I threw Maurice through the portal.

"Um…I think I'll take my chances in here," Julien said.

And then the ceiling started to collapse.

"Unstable explode-y portal it is!" Julien said as he ran into the portal.

Marlene, the team, Mort, and I quickly rushed after him.

"Oh good your just in time for the next phase," Reginald said.

"You're persistent I give you that," The Golden Squirrel said.

Meanwhile in China Town the portal closed explosively taking an entire city block down with it.

And inside a sushi restaurant, Sushi Chef X slammed his fist down, "YOU PAY FOR THAT PENGUINS!"

Unfortunately his fist smashed thru a table getting food all over a customer.

"MANAGER!" the customer shouted.

"Why you little…" X said as he held the customer in a choke hold.

X then heard someone clear his throat behind him. X released the customer and turned around to see the ticked off Owner with two police officers behind him.

"Oh could this day get any worst," X said as he was handcuffed.

And then a piece of masonry crashed thru the roof and hit him on the head.

"Ooh, that's going to hurt," one of the police officers said as X passed out.
