Chapter 8: Captivity and the Rescue Plan.

"Well girl if you answer all my questions I won't exactly kill you," said the earth lord.

"Why should I answer a tormented man?" Miras shot back.

"Well you can show some respect to the lord of earth," said the earth lord.

"I know who you are numbskull," Miras said. She chuckled. But in rage the earth lord slapped her very hard on her cheek that it was too painful.

"Now girl tell me who are your friends?" asked the earth lord.

"I'll never tell you," Miras answered. She got slapped just as hard on her other cheek and the earth lord started to walk away. All she heard again was to put her in the cage until she is ready to tell me some answers. She awoke again with food in front of her. She scrambled towards it and started to eat it. She got questioned again put gave no answer but only to if the other children were around this area. They were. In fact right now they were thinking of a plan to rescue Miras.

"Well if we some how get past the platform I think it should get to the cells and chambers," said Laura.

"Well lets try to get past it," said Shawn. They nodded. They got back to the spot they could see the platform and saw a staircase that led down to the platform. They started down the staircase when they heard noises. They turned to each other and chuckled. They were going to ambush them. Oww! Awww! Nawww! Were the sounds of the monsters dying in shock. The three kids continued along the platform hoping that the rocks wouldn't just fall down into the darkness. When they crossed it they made big sighs and started to go down another staircase towards the chambers and cells.

"Well this isn't to hard," Shawn commented.

"But we've got to kill earth lord or else he'll cause a big earthquake," Elliot chipped in.

"Very true," Laura said.

"Well I guess that makes it a lot harder on the rescue mission," Shawn said.

"Well then lets keep on going then shall we?" asked Laura. So they continued on the path until it broke in three lanes.

"Well lets each take one way," Shawn commanded.

"Well there is the pathway to the cells, meeting room, and the pathway to the weapons chamber.... I'll go to the weapons chamber to get the weapons out of there," Laura said.

"Fine I'll take the meeting room," Shawn said doubtfully.

"Well I guess that leaves me with the job to Miras back," Elliot said chuckling.

So we'll get back to the others but right now this is what Elliot did. Taking the pathway he sped up a little quietly. The he heard sounds. He found a small gap in between the wall and hid in it. It was just two monsters (which he ambushed) coming by. Elliot crept slowly until he reached another staircase. He heard laughing sounds and talking sounds. Ok Elliot time to kill them yourself! Elliot thought. So he crept as far as close as he could without get seen, drew his 12 daggers out and threw one by one at the puzzled and screamed monsters. There wasn't that much commotion but that didn't matter now. Elliot took the cell keys from one of the monsters and ran up to Miras's cell. He unlocked the door and took her.

"Miras wake up were going to get you out of here," Elliot said as he continued up the staircase carrying the beaten Miras.

"Don't worry I'm sure Laura can fix that up," Elliot murmured at her. All she did was make sounds.

During that time this is what Laura did. She took her path which was only a person wide path moving quietly down the slanted path. As she hit a bunch of rocks she bent down and peered at what she could she. No one was in the big room. Just a guard sitting down. So I looked around the room there were cracks everywhere in the walls and the floor. So using her powers summoned at meat eating plant and it ate the monster. She unsummoned it and took all the items by summoning lots of tall grass making it into a bag and since there was a opening the led a long way down she threw them all down the passage way. So she was done her job. She quickly ran back to where the passage broke up.

During that time Shawn was having trouble get to where he went. There was so many pathway break ups that he could remember where he came from until he hit a wall. It was a secret door wall! He took that passage way and heard voices.

"Any sign of those brats?" said the grand voice of the earth lord.

"No my lord there very slippery they have found there way into chambers and cells and even could be listening to what were saying," said the commander of monsters in his land.

"Well go check outside the wall then," commanded the earth lord.

"Yes my lord," the commander replied. I crept back put outside the room as the commander came out side. I drew my sword and sliced him in half. He screamed with all his energy left to the earth lord. He came stumbling out and drew his own sword.

"Well kid! You insolent eavesdropper prepare to die," shouted the earth lord and his sword came tumbling down at me. For my dear life I blocked it started to fight him. He made me walk backwards with the pressure that he was putting on me. By five minutes of fighting and walking backwards I had gotten back to the part where our group broke up.

"What's going on Shawn?" asked Elliot.

"Well a little busy here with the earth lord if you mind now please move!" Shawn shouted as he stumbled into the stairs. If got up quickly and ran up the stairs and onto the platform.

"Alright lets duel," Shawn said hotly.

"Ok but you might wanna catch your breath your gonna need it," The earth lord said chuckling.

"I need nothing that you say," Shawn shot back.

"Well you are standing on my rock platform so you might want to hold on for your life or you'll end in the death pit," The earth lord said smiling. He could control the ground and was going to use it against Shawn. My face turned to horror. Fighting him on his on field!
