Ringleys Wish 10 - Get Them!

Things didn't looked that good. Kitchel and Earth were paralysed, Ringleys was trapped, Ekidonna had the Dragon Eye, and Thatz was in no position to fight. He'd been in bad spots before, but this topped them all.

He was cut off from his train of thought however, when Garfakcy lunged towards him again, and he started flying down the tunnel as fast as possible.

"I'll be back guys!" he shouted to Kitchel and Earth, as Garfakcy slung the cage on his back and chased after him.

* * *

"Just how far does this cursed tunnel GO!" Ekidonna shouted, throwing down his bag and leaning against the wall. "If I don't find this stupid lake soon I'll blow the hole place down!"

Patience was not one of Ekidonna's gifts.

The Yokai sighed, and picked up his bag, ready to move on, when something, looking over its shoulder, rammed into his head, causing him to fall down.

* * *

Thatz was tiring. Garfakcy had taken out his ash, which seemed to be able to paralyse him. He'd been able to avoid it part of the time, but he hadn't been a Faerie long enough to be truly agile, and his legs were feeling numb. When he looked over his shoulder to see how much distance he had between the human, he rammed into something, hard, and fell to the ground. A second thump told him whatever he had hit had also fallen.

Not that he could care too much about that, when Garfakcy's hand closed around him.

* * *

Garfakcy just grinned at the stunned Faerie in his hand. "Put up quite the fight Dragon Knight, but now its time to go." He unceremoniously dumped Thatz in the cage, where he fell to the ground. As Ringleys went to his friend's side, Garfakcy turned his attention to the demon slowly getting up, clutching a newly formed bump on his head.

"Ugh, who the heck are you kid?" he groaned.

Garfakcy just smirked. "Ekidonna I presume? I was just getting a few things for Lord Kharl"

He turned his back on the thief, and took out some ashes, ready to transport himself home. Inside the cage, Ringleys helped Thatz up.

"What do we do now?" Ringleys begged.

Thatz shook his head. "I don't know. Hope for a miracle?"

And to both Faeries amazement, that 'miracle' came, although in a form neither would have ever expected.

Ekidonna, finally back up, caught sight of the Faeries in the cage, and realised just exactly who they were.

"What the?" he shouted to Garfakcy, and grabbed the cage from the boys hands, staring at the two small figures. He grinned wickedly.

"Hey!"

"Ah, the little Faerie I caught earlier, and the Dragon Knight? What happened to you? Get cursed by a witch? Not that it matters, this'll just make revenge all that easier . . . huh?"

Garfakcy yanked the cage from the demons hands. "Sorry, but you'll have to skip the revenge thing. These two have a date with a pot of boiling water and some rather painful spells."

Ekidonna grabbed the cage back. "Sorry to disappoint you little human, but I think I'll be keeping them."

Garfakcy growled, summoning his ash weapon. "If that's the way you're going to play this, then prepare to die."

Ekidonna's bag hit the ground, along with the cage, rolling on its side, and out came his sword. "I haven't had human flesh in a while" he hissed.

* * *

Thatz and Ringleys watched as the two went at it. Ekidonna was fast, but so used to his gun, not as skilled as Garfakcy.

"Well, we've bought ourselves some time" Thatz stated. "Now how to get out of here."

His eyes lit up as he spotted Ekidonna's back. Quickly, he flew to a barred wall, and started pushing it.

"Ringleys, a little help here" he groaned.

* * *

Fortunately, Ringleys caught on, and slowly, the cage began to move towards the bag. A few rolls later, and the two were right beside it. The Dragon Eye was very close to the top.

"Yes!" Thatz shouted, and tried to reach it. To his dismay, his arms weren't long enough, and the Dragon Eye was a centimetre too far away.

"No!" he groaned.

"Wait, what about that?" Ringleys asked.

Thatz looked at whatever the Faerie was looking at. In range, was a long piece of wire. Thatz recognised it as the piece he kept in a pocket in case of . . . lockpicking. Ekidonna really had stolen everything.

"Ringleys you're a genius!" he said, and picked it up, flying to the lock and jamming it in.

* * *

"Its about time" Kitchel moaned, as the feeling came back into her limbs. "You feeling better Earth?"

Although still woozy, Earth managed a nod.

Kitchel went and picked him up. "We'd better go and help those two, right?"

Earth nodded again.

"Hey!"

The two turned to see Imo running up to them, bandages wrapped around his head.

"Oh hi Imo!" Kitchel greeted. "You woke up I see."

Imo sighed. "You're not allowed here!" he persisted. "You must leave immediately!" Kitchel just grabbed his arm. "Well there are four others in here ahead of us, so help us get them too. Come on!"

"Hey, wait!" Imo pleaded, as the thief dragged him down the tunnel.

* * *

" . . . and a little to the left, Bingo!" Thatz shouted, as the lock finally clicked open. "Now lets get this stupid wish undone!"

Unfortunately, their luck ran out, as Garfakcy spotted the two opening the cage door.

"Their getting out!" he shouted, ignoring Ekidonna and racing towards the cage. Not wasting any time, the two leapt out, and raced for Ekidonna's bag. They had to fly up again however, as Ekidonnas hand lunged to grab them.

"Thatz, we have to go forward!" Ringleys shouted, dodging Ekidonna's hand.

"But, the Dragon Eye . . . "

"We don't have a choice!"

As he narrowly missed a handful of ash, Thatz had to agree with the young Faerie, and the two bolted down the tunnel.

"You idiot!" Garfakcy shouted to Ekidonna. "Lord Kharl could have revived Left Bird by now if it wasn't for you!" and raced down the tunnel.

"Hey! Nobody talks to Ekidonna like that!" Ekidonna shouted, and took off after the boy, completely forgetting his bag.

To be continued . . .

Okay, I need computer help. Whenever I click on something that opens a new window (link, reviews, pop ups, pictures etc) they don't load up. Anyone have ANY idea how to fix that? Anyone?
