Earth Warriors

Jen: FYI I'm not picking on him. I was pulling names out of a hat on who'd get injured, and well, it so happened to be him, TWICE! But in a way it makes sense on how he'd be disappeared and where he is since he's injured!

BlueStarNight88: ThanX! ^___^

TheDarkestAngel: A little ego-inflated? No, I'm j/k-ing, yes, I like the way your character be looking out too!

Med-jai Ferret: ThanX for following the story! Mucho appreciated!

--begin chapter--

Nny was thrown off farther away from the rest of the group, and in pain from his wound he rolled up from physical reaction, but it proved to be a bad reaction. He was pulled under the surface, being carried along by the swift current of snow and ice racing down the mountain. He then hit a large rock. He grabbed onto the rock, and bearing with the pain, he slowly, and steadily pulled himself up the rock. He was coming near the surface when he felt some packed ice above him, running out of air, he pounding on the ice with all his strength. After almost a minute of pounding on the ice, the ice cracked and he punched up making a hole. Immediately he put his mouth to it, sucking air. Then he started making the hole bigger even though more snow was coming in. He finally got up and onto the rock he sat on top being three feet above the surface of the avalanche. He looked around, wrapping his coat and the scarves he had borrowed tighter around him to keep from freezing. He saw a group of figures rushing towards him in the avalanche…IT WAS HIS FRIENDS!! He raised his hands and shouted , "Oi! Oi! I'm over here! Heeeey!! Guys! I'm here! It's me Nny!"

***

Almost everyone was near unconsciousness when they heard yelling. They all looked up and saw Nny only a few meters away, they rushed to center and grabbed the rock as they neared it. Finally hopping on they all hugged Nny in a group hug, Jen being nearest to him.

"I'm so glad you're alright! I was so worried!" Jen said. Nny smiled.

"I'm alright, especially now," he said, well kind of in a sense he stumbled a little smiling.

~~~In the dark parts of Crypto-Earth, past the Dark Mountains, which, as said before, is a thousand miles south west of the Frost Mountains on the Frost Plateau~~~

White walked up to a larger pod with green ooze in it that had a man in it, floating in the green ooze with an oxygen mask attached to him. White smiled, "Soon you will be my most powerful minion! And I will become a Forkan! Praise Allah! My dreams may be fulfilled!"

Then another figure came up, tall and regal with silver eyes. It cleared it's throat and White turned around and bowed. The tall figure narrowed his eyes at the pod with the man in it, "This is the one you were talking about?"

"Yes, sire, it is," White said, not daring to lift his head. The tall man snorted.

"Hmph, looks like a common Earthling to me. He doesn't seem to powerful, not in normal view but I do sense an energy radiating from him. This one will be useful. Tell me when he is ready."

"Sire, I have a guestamite."

"Tell me."

"In about Two Crypto-Years."

"That'd be four months in natural time-line of Earth."

"Yes."

"Fine, I'll wait. I'm going now," then the tall man left, his cape flowing behind him as he took long strides to his throne room. As his footsteps faded off down the hall White got up, looking down the hall that his master left through, scowling he spat in his masters footsteps.

"Damn him. One day I'm going to rule here. And he won't stand a chance against me!" White grinned as he looked at his prize. "With you by my side, no one will be able to defeat me!"

~~~In regular Earth~~~

It had been two days since they had gone missing. Evy was worried, and Jonathan worried for her. She paced in the hall, reading a book when Jonathan came down to his wine cabinet. Evy rushed to him, "Are they back yet? Oh, where could they be? They should have been here yesterday. Everyone else got to their home."

"Evy, ol mum, stop worrying. They probably stayed behind to help clean up the place. Besides a few other kids from the camp aren't at home either."

"What?"

"Mm-hm, and there have been reports that many children are missing. They authorities are investigating it now."

Evy sat down in a chair. All of a sudden this seemed vastly familiar. "Jonathan, it's him."

"Who? Imhotep?"

"No."

"The Scorpion King. Please don't let it be him, it's bad enough to look at him, let alone fight him."

"No, it's another evil. Remember the stories I told you about from a book I read when we were young?"

"Uh, none really come to mind at the moment."

"The one from that old book that was handed down generation to generation on Mum's side. It told of legends from all over the world. One was about a man so evil that the Gods condemned him to another world called Crypto-Earth. They had made Crypto-Earth for animals to live in peace away from the destruction of man, and some really good people were sent there. But the evil one's name was…I can't remember!"

"Lord Lynch?"

"Yes! That's him, Lord Lynch, his own name meant kill, assassinate. He was condemned to Dark Lands where the land was awful and uninhabitable in Crypto-Earth. I though for sure that that was just legend. But it said some prophecies!"

"Uh-huh, and how does this concern us?"

"I think the prophecies may come to truth!"

"Evy, ol' mum, little baby sister, only family left in the world aside from Alex, it's only been two days! Why don't we wait? Wait for a little while longer, then we go into the whole prophecies, and..and adventures etc."

Evy nodded.

~~~Back with the group of friends that we all love~~~

They had waited for a few minutes then the avalanche stopped. They sat in a group, huddle together on the huge boulder, shivering. Katrina looked around, then asked, "What do we do now?"

"Wait, a while, I guess. Help should be on the way," Alex said. Artemis slapped him over the head.

"You bloody idiot! This isn't a ski resort! This is a fucking volcano that is active as we just saw, and any minute now it's gonna spout ash, coal, smoke and what not! This isn't Earth, it's CRYPTO-Earth!"

Alex rubbed his head, "Then what the FUCK ARE WE STILL DOING HERE?!"

"WELL, INCASE YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AROUND IT'S LOOSE SNOW! WE COULD FALL THROUGH AND FREEZE!!" Arty yelled.

Ava whispered to Jen, "Ooh, I think we're witnessing a lovers' quarrel."

"Oh, I know, the way they fight sometimes you'd think they ARE married," Selena whispered to Ava. Jen nodded in agreement. Arty turned to them.

"I heard that!" She said with a crazed look on her face. The girls shivered, and the men trembled with FEAR!! But of course all woman have the ability to give "The Look" which makes men tremble in their shoes, it's the way to whip the boys!

"Sorry," Selena said. Then Arty turned back to Alex, wearing the same Look, and he quieted.

They were trapped. Trapped on a damned boulder, in the freezing cold and to top it off they were on a fucking volcano!!! Now they were in a tight spot. Each thinking of how they could get off. When an idea struck Lyra.

"Hey, why don't we just sled down using this?" Lyra said pointing to a wide, fairly thick, maybe about five inches long slab of wood that came down and was stopped by the boulder. Everyone looked over the side of the boulder and grinned.

"Good idea, Lyra!" Ava said, grinning happily.

"But there is one small problem," Rain said. Everyone looked at him wondering what the problem was. Rain continued, "The 'sled' type thing is about ten feet below us. How do we get it?"

"Simple, we tie our scarves together and hoist the lightest one down to get the slab," Arty said. Everyone nodded in agreement except Jen.

"No, we'll need something stronger, just tying clothes together won't do. Y'see the clothes aren't meant to be tied, therefore it's not strong and can't hold much weight," she explained. Everyone's slumped, then Nny got an idea.

"Hey! Then why don't we all just all onto an end of a scarf and let the smallest one down?" Nny said brightly. Everyone got up and nodded. "So who's gonna go down?"

Everyone looked at each other, then the boys looked at the girls. Alex said, "Well, one of the girls should go down, after all, they're the lightest. Maybe Jen of Selena."

Everyone nodded except Jen and Selena.

"Um, I don't think I oughta go, after all, I'm useful! I can change into animals!" Selena said backing away from the group, laughing nervously.

"No, Selena, you should go, after all, you're much lighter than I am!" Jen said, also backing away from the group, only slower than Selena.

"Oh, noooooo-" Selena fell off the boulder and landed with a W U M P on the wood they were going to use as a sled, amazingly the wood didn't break nor did it go farther into the snow. She got up, her eyes wide and skin pale, panting in panic. She looked around and then looked up and gave them the victory sign and yelled, "S'all cool! I meant to do that!"

"Alright! We're coming down!" Alex said then jumped onto the wood, everyone following in no particular order.

"Alright, it's time shake, rattle, and roll!" Arty yelled. Everyone just looked at her weirdly and Arty blushed and sank down. "Er, did I just say that aloud?"

Everyone nodded.

"Oh…."

"Well, let's go!" Nny said and started to push the sled in the back because he was in the back. Everyone else helped and in no time they were sledding down the mountain.

"Alright, you two on that side, you two on the right, we're going to do this right!" Rain said, pointing to Selena and Jen first then Katrina and Terry. "Now, you four will steer, keep the sled straight!! Other people get in the center and don't shift around a lot! You two in the back and help Nny give us acceleration!" He pointed to Alex and Khan. They did so.

Rushing down the mountain side they did! When they felt it rumble again, making them shake. Arty looked back and saw smoke coming out.

"Shit! Smoke's coming out! Ash will soon too I'm willing to bet! We need to go faster!" Arty yelled. Alex looked back and saw fire at the top!

"Fire! There's fire on the top!!" Alex yelled pointing to the top. Everyone looked back and saw the fire too.

"Oh man!!" Khan said and cursed in his native language of Arapahoe.

"C'mon people! Don't pout, that gets us no where but dead in the situation!!" Arty yelled going to the back and pushing against the ground to gain more speed. They all helped in going down the mountain. To everyone's relief they saw solid ground in the distance but had no idea what they had to do to get to it.

Just a few meters ahead of them was the end of the ce sheet, it dropped fifteen feet to more snow then went on for a few more meters to the tree line. Terry recognized what was going to happen and shouted, "OH MY RAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

They flew off the ice sheet and into the air for a few meters and went down! The hit the snow with a thud and continued down the mountain when the saw the tree line. C R A S H!!! The ran smack dab into a tree! They were scattered about some on tree branches others were flown back and some forward onto a bed of pine needles and pine cones. They got up moaning in pain.

"Ooh! My back!" Alex said straitening up. They walked to each other and went down the mountain.

"Damn!! This is one hell of a tall mountain!!" Arty said as the practically ran down the volcano.

"Hell yeah," Miguel said. "I think it's bigger than Mt Everest!"

"Damn! But I agree, I think it is too!" Vassilij said. They then reached a cliff. Every sat down, groaning.

"Damn! It may be out of the snow but it's still fucking cold!" Arty said pulling on her coat. Everyone mumbled an agreement as they sat down. What were they going to do now? They reached a wide cliff, too wide to walk around! It was awful, the drop was more than twenty feet, and they knew a drop more than twenty feet could kill them. How were they going to get out of this one??

"So what do we do now?" Arty asked.

"I don't know," they all replied. They all sat there not knowing what to do next, not sure if they would live this time.

Then suddenly they heard a large explosion and looked up and saw lava being forced up out of the volcano!!
