"Are you alright?" Kay asked Madison as he helped her to her feet and then glanced around as she nodded. No sign of the others. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a weapon, aiming at the wall he thought should lead to the outside and firing. The blast blew a hole in the wall but before Kay and Madison could step through, it resealed.
"I was afraid that would happen," Madison murmured, remembering the last time she had been in the Maze Card. She reached out and took Kay's hand, leading him over one of the walls and beginning to carefully feel her way along it with her free hand. "Come on. Maybe we can find our way out like this, or at least find our way back to the others!"

"So, what do we do now? We're missing two people and we have a third breaking the laws of physics on the ceiling," Zed muttered as he looked down at Sakura. "Exactly how dangerous is this thing?"
"It's not dangerous so much as annoying," Sakura told them as she thought of what to do. At least Madison wasn't alone. Surely that nice Kay person would protect her until they could find them again. She wasn't so sure about the poor woman on the ceiling though. Meilin hadn't fallen but she hadn't been trapped like that for long. Who knows what could happen if they left her up there? And what if the maze reconfigured itself again? Then she might be in serious danger.
"I think we better try and get your friend down from there first. Come on," Sakura said as she started along the maze looking for a way up.
"Wait!" Elle cried. "Don't leave me!"
"I'll stay here and keep an eye on her. She causes enough trouble right side up. Who knows what she could do upside down," X said as Elle glared at him. Apparently X's offer satisfied Zed though, and he quickly followed Sakura with Jay right behind him.
