Colt pulled back the wooden panel and paused, unsure of what to do. Kira was glowing faintly, a low voice came from the corner she kneeled in. Tip toeing closer he saw a small mirror in her hands. He sat tentively on her mattress and waited, she spoke a language that sounded like English but when he tried to understand what she was saying, he couldn't. Frowning, he stared at her back until she had stopped glowing.
"Kira?" he whispered
She turned and nodded at him before pulling a grey book from her shelf. She turned the lamp on and flipped frantically through the pages of the book, finally she yelled out an undistinguishable word that made Colt cover his ears. The pages flew in the opposite direction in which she had been flipping. Kira gave an exasperated sigh and glared at the book. When the pages finally stopped turning she started to read.
Colt could hold his curiosity no longer. "What's going on?" he burst out. When he got no reply he asked again. "Kira, come one! What is it?"
Kira heard something faintly, annoyed, she grabbed a rubber and flicked it behind her.
Colt glowered at Kira's back and opened his mouth to ask her again when a rubber flew into his mouth. He shut it in surprise, nearly swallowing it. A disgusted noise came from his mouth before spitting it out and wiping his mouth numerous times with his sleeve. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?!" he bellowed.
Kira slammed the book shut triumphantly, making Colt jump. She jammed the book back on the shelf and ran out the door. Leaving a stunned Colt sitting on the mattress. 'Had she heard a word he'd been saying?'

"Where are you going?"
"To the tree?"
"What tree?"
"The treasure tree."
"Why?"
When he got no answer he ran after her into the darkness. When he finally got to the tree he began climbing, heaving himself onto the branch he found Kira peering into the box. He looked over shoulder, wondering what she was doing. She prodded the black material with a cautious finger, when nothing happened she sat down, disappointed. Her sudden movement caught Colt off guard, making him fall forward into the trunk.
"Colt! Are you all right? What are you doing here? I thought you had gone to bed!"
Colt pushing himself out of the trunk and sat down next to Kira. "Yea, I'm fine. What were you doing in your room."
Kira stared at him. "How did you know?"
"I was sitting on your mattress the whole time and when you left, I followed you up here."
Kira shook her head in disbelief. "I had no idea. Sorry. I guess I was a little absorbed with my research. Rocky and Tum Tum have been transported into my world using a portal. They are either sitting in a cell right now or they're dead. Probably the first one option. The mutiny is not one to kill strangers, they will try to make them join there side."
Colt sat in stunned silence. "They could be dead?"
"Highly unlikely. Someone, probably Yaman, told the leader and they prepared a trap for me so when I reached in to take the treasure I would be sucked in and caught, Rocky and Tum Tum probably wanted to know what the weapons were so they opened it and reached in and got sucked in."
"We gotta save them!"
"I know, I asked my auntie to connect a portal to this chest in 2 minutes. All we have to do is stick out hands in the chest and wait. I hope we land near them."
Colt nodded.
"Do you have your sword and some stuff on you?"
"Yea, the rope."
"Good. Come on, stick your hand in."
"Uh, ok."
They both stuck their hands in but when the jerk came they gripped the others hand as they whirled into the other world.

"I can't believe they're the guys who are after Kira"
"Yea, we gotta tell them."
"How?"
"I dunno."
"You reckon they'll come and save us."'
"Yea, I hope so."
"Me too."
Tum Tum curled up and tried to sleep while Rocky just sat there, deep in thought. He head to tell Colt that Kira was in trouble and that the bad guys had caught them. 'Relax' he told himself. 'Kira's got magic, she'll know' with that, he nodded off to sleep.

The next day Tum Tum woke up on a cold stone floor. He opened his mouth to let out a wail when he remembered what had happened. He curled up tighter, trying to forget his stomach.
Rocky stirred and shivered, slowly opening his eyes he looked around him, trying to remember. Just then, the heavy door clanged open and two men marched in. Tum Tum gulped, he wished Colt was here to say something smart to those guys. Rocky got up and shifted into a fighting stance, Tum Tum saw and did the same.
"You are to be taken to the training chamber."
Rocky nodded, "We're coming, right after this!" He lashed out with is foot and caught the man in the chest. The burly guard stumbled backwards, caught off guard. Tum Tum did the same, kicking his guard in the stomach.
"Come on Tum! Let's light this guy up!"
The two of them fought, kicking and punching any part of the guards. Finally, their guards lay in a dazed heap on the floor and the two of them scampered out into the labyrinth of tunnels and cells that made up the prison.
