By the time I reached Castle Doom, I had to catch my breath. Before I did that, I hid behind a tree, and thought. Doom would never make it so easy to get to the door or windows of his castle. Doom's castle had to have some form of getting around because where it was happened to be the fourth location it was in ever since we have been fighting Doom. Before, it had been on a mountain, on a hill, and right at the edge of Doomstadt. One thing that looked awfully suspicious about the land around Doom's castle was all of the little mounds covering it. Doom should have known better than to use land mines to keep this little girl out. But before I stretched over them, I had to take precautions. There was a particular kind of land mine that had just been invented at the time. They blew up under ANYTHING that went over and not just stepped on them. I took out my slingshot from the knapsack along with a ball bearing, and aimed at the sky beyond the castle. The instant that ball bearing went over those land mines, fire shot over one hundred feet into the air from at least seven mines. I shook my head.
"Yes indeed, Doom has gotten those new and improved suckers..." I said under my breath.
For a moment, I was stumped. Even though there was a path I had made of used mines with the ball bearing, I was afraid it was too thin to walk through without triggering any mines beside it. Suddenly, I realized what could make the path larger, the wind-up toys! I had gotten over twenty toys back at the store. I took out the one half of those I had in my knapsack. Then, I walked to where the tiny path of used mines began. I winded up two of the little toys, and let them loose on the bumpy ground. It had not even been three seconds when the first mine near the path went off. Two more seconds later, another one was set off a little ways farther from the first one. I walked onto what was now a safe part of the path. More destroyed wind-up toys and mines later; I would make it to safer ground. But, there was another obstacle that was keeping me from getting into Doom's castle, his robotic guards. An idea then just came to me, and I smiled. From observing them, I noticed the automated guards walked around the castle in such a pattern, they faced each other at one point every two minutes. When it got to that point, I leaped to an area in between them and said.
"Your computer chips cannot hold one megabyte of memory!" (Computer talk for "You have no brains.")
A split second after I let that out, I instantly made myself as flat as I could outside the castle wall. The two robots shot a bolt of white-hot plasma from where their hands were supposed to be. I had gotten out of their line of fire in time to see them eliminate themselves.
"Two down, 998 more to go."
I thought, as I began to ascend the castle wall towards a window. Like most medieval castle windows, this window was not covered making my breaking into the Doom's home sweet home easy. Before I jumped in, I mumbled very quietly.
"It's show time."
