The Rescue of Kara


***Kara***

"Blub, blud" the molten rock bubbled beneath Kara's cage. Kara, herself, sat in deep thought. As she continued to contemplate her predicament, it puzzled her for as she thought her mind seemed to have become much more organized. She began to wonder if the other kids were in this weird teacher controlled castle. It seemed faint but she felt that she could sense some of the other kids, at least Liz.
"Hmmm. . ." Kara thought to herself, it seemed crazy but she thought that she might have some sort of psionic powers. She focused hard and tried to contact any kids that she knew.

***Mack and Edward***

"Ahhh, the voices they're in my . . ." Edward trailed off as he saw Mack raise his hand.
"Nothing, I didn't say anything" Edward said with a nod.
"Hehe, just listen" Mack said putting his hand down. The voice sounded weak as if from some far away place.
"Help Me" It seemed to come from some remote portion of each of their minds, but it also seemed to draw them to somewhere deeper in the castle.
"Well, we got nowhere else to go, lets go rescue a classmate, perhaps they've found out more than we have." Mack said. And so they went off sneakily down the corridors.

*** Liz and Nat***

"That voice kind of sounds like Kara's," Liz said as they tried to find their way through the corridors towards the voice. Natasia shrugged as they continued on in the semi-dark passageway. They came through a door and entered a wide hallway splitting into three different passageways. The middle one went straight as far as they could see. The one on the right hand went up slowly, while the one on the left sloped downward.
"What do we do know?" Liz thought

*** Mack and Edward***

Edward put his ear to the door. "All clear" Edward said relieved. H e produced a flame and sent it up against the door. The door's charred remains fell to the ground with a horrendous crash. A bunch of Book golems with sharp pencils and ruler clubs got up suprised.
"All clear huh!" Mack yelled, and they quickly fell into battle. Edward produced a pair of long flaming daggers, and began to fight the nearest bookie.
"Ssrring, Ssrring." Edward's blades slashed through the bookie and he went into a fighting pose with his daggers close to the ground. The bookie grunted and raised it's ruler club. Then it looked surprised and it's top half began to slide off it's legs.
"Am I cool or what" Edward thought to himself, he stayed in his pose and didn't see a new bookie with a raised pencil right behind him.
"Ahhhh!!!" Edward screamed as the pencil began to come down.
"Roaror" The bookie issued a scream of pain, and ink (the blood of any book) began to seep out of the pages of it's head. The pencil stopped moving.
"What the. . ." Edward said puzzling. Suddenly Mack appeared standing upon the shoulders of the bookie with his rapier stuck to the hilt in the head of the bookie.
"Watch yourself." Mack said and promptly grew huge and the ceiling lifted to fit him.
"Rrrrrrooor" Mack let out a bellowing roar. The bookies stood, scared stiff. Edward seeing his chance produced several flaming javelins and swiftly but with much strength. Soon the floor was covered in ink and the bookie corpses impaled or pinned to the wall.
"Dayyom we are so awesome!" Edward said with a huge grin on his face.
"Yea, we rock!" said Mack as his illusion wore off and he appeared normal size and the ceiling came to be normal. Mack did his little victory dance.
"Ok come on we should get going." Mack said and he opened the door adjacent to the one they had entered.
"For future reference," said Mack shaking his head, "the doors open."
"Whahahaha" Edward yelled as he created a flaming axe and maniacally hacked the door down, "you were saying?" Mack continued to shake his head laughing quietly to himself.

***Liz and Nat***

Liz and Natasia sat for a long while pondering the road to take.
"I really want a different costume," Natasia exclaimed
"Quiet, I'm thinking." said Liz
"It's just these tights just aren't my style, I look like Link or something." Liz just ignored her. Then Liz realized something.
"I know what this is," Liz exclaimed, "the narrator's using the same three passageways as in The Fellowship of the Ring" Liz then promptly went up to each arch and sniffed carefully. She pointed to the way on the right.
"That way, the air smells less foul that way" said Liz and put I finger to her nose. She took a step into the passageway which was cobbled with large stones. The stone she stepped on sank into the floor and she heard a load click. "Uh oh" Liz thought as the floor crumbled away and she fell into darkness.
"Nooo!!" Natasia scream and leapt to the edge of the newly formed pit but was too late Liz was no where to be seen.
Narrator: Haha, that's for trying to guess my mystical ways hahahahah
"Where's that voice coming from" Nat thought aloud and scratched her head. Natasia quickly realized that to find Liz she'd need to go down the left passage. Off she went quickly down the corridor.

***Edward and Mack***
They had continued there march down large stone corridors and they seemed to slope down all the time. They began to get bored so they began to practice their harmony with the ice cream song from the Music Man.
"Ice creeeeaaaaam" said Mack in a low voice
"Ice creeeeaaaaam" sang Edward on a slightly higher note when suddenly they heard a huge crash in the next room they ran quickly and came to a door and the end of the corridor. Before the reached it Edward produced a flaming battering ram and bashed the door into flaming cinders. Inside they saw a host of bookies and a horrible beast the seemed to be only a mass of eyes and mouths. Also the saw the ceiling had been crashed through and Liz sat semi conscience among the rubble.
"Edward, I'll go protect Liz you try and kill those bookies and that thing." Yelled Mack over the commotion that was going on.
"Awww, but I want to be the hero" Edward whined.
"Cloaker" Mack pointed to himself, "Pyro weoponer" Mack pointed to Edward.
"Ohh, right" Edward said agreeably and produced a pair of flaming dueling staves and took out the nearest bookies. Mack ran over to Liz and with a few hand movements they disappeared. In the little cloak bubble Mack had created he asked
"Are you hurt?"
"Shipoopi" Liz mumbled in a daze
"Ok, wake up" Mack said and shook Liz slightly. Liz shook her head and woke up.
"Good your awake, there's a fight going on can you fight." Asked Mack
"Uhh," Liz said wearily, "I'm kinda weak" Just then Edward got a little closer and after slashing a bookie into pieces he made a few guttural sounds like a dying seal as a victory screech.
"Errr" Liz remembered and hated the sound she took out her mace, leapt out of the cloaked field and pummeled the nearest bookie into the ground. They continued the fight and felled many bookies but soon it became wearisome and they began to lose the fight.
"We need alternatives," Mack yelled, even though he was invisible when he fought, the monsters could discern about where he was from the foot prints of ink.
"I'll try something," Liz yelled over the fight. She remembered that she had some how controlled the weather and she tried to master it again. A strong wind blew from all around and Liz was lifted off the ground. Suddenly her robe shined with bright red flames and most of the bookies burst into flames and were reduced quickly to puddles of ink. Edward, took out the rest of the bookies with flaming throwing axes. Liz, fainted and fell from the arms of the wind.
"I'll catch you," Mack said but he was too late as Liz fell to the ground with a clunk.
"or not. . . sorry" Mack said quietly. He got over to help Liz up.
"You ok" Mack asked. Liz shook her fist at him. At this time Nat burst into the room from a different door, because the first door that Edward used was still in flaming chunks but that doesn't have very much to do with the story so I'll go on. Well anyway Liz got up and ran to Nat and they hugged.
"Wow, Natasia is here too" Edward exclaimed.
"Yes, I'm here" said Nat and she stuck here tongue out at Edward. So they grouped back together and began to talk.
"So you guys are here too, anybody else with you?" Edward asked
"Nope just us, and we got some neat powers too." Said Liz
"Yea, that was cool with the flaming wind" Mack said, "but what exactly are your powers?"
"We're not sure" said Liz "I can control weather and fire and Nat's got a flower weapon/armor/thing."
"But I want a different costume," pouted Natasia and she stuck out her tongue again.
"Yea, you look like an elf." Edward smirked. Natasia gave him a dirty look
"Well, what about you guys." Asked Liz. Edward proceeded to show off producing multiple weapons and handling them.
"What about you Mack?" Liz asked again.
"Oh, watch closely." Said Mack and he took his rapier and cut off Edwards head, and it bounced along the floor.
"Eeeeeee!!!!" Natasia screamed and then made the flower into a giant metal fist and hit Mack hard. Mack flew against the wall and crashed through it. He landed among the rubble in the next room with his feet in the air. His illusion wore off and Edward's head reappered.
"Mack's an illusionist; he can make things look the way he wants or disappear entirely." Said Edward.
"Ooooohhh" Nat exclaimed, "Sorry Mack"
"FINNLAND!" Mack cried only semi-conscious. Now I bet you thought I forgot the giant amorphous blob monster with all those eyes and mouths, well you are wrong. While the kids had talked, the blob monster, unbeknownst to the kids, had been absorbing the bookies and the ink and growing larger and larger. Finally the kids turned around
"Eeeeeeeee!!!" Edward screamed.
"Run!" yelled Liz. And they took off, forgetting at this time poor unconscious Mack behind. They ran down the length of the long room, and then went through a big archway with the blob monster right behind them.
"Can't you guys do something" Nat yelled
"We're too weak from the fight." Liz yelled back. They kept running till they came to a huge double door. They rushed in and tried to barricade the door.
"Boom, boom, boom." The blob pounded against the door Edward used some of his, nonflaming, dueling staves to blockade the door.
"That won't last long," Edward yelled.
"Please save me!" The voice seemed very close.
"Ahhh, the voices are in my head!!" Edward screamed.
"She's close I can feel her." Liz said. They turned around and saw that the door led into a huge room with cages hanging from the ceiling over a huge pool of lava. In one of the cages sat Kara trying to get the kids attention. Around the outside of the pool, stood some huge computer monsters which were slowly making their way over to the kids.
"Don't worry we'll save you" said Edward and he produced a pair of dueling staves and began the battle.

***Edward, Kara, Liz, and Nat***

"So Liz how is your fanfic coming along" said Edward from one of the cages
"Shut up, Edward" Liz said. All the kids were in the cages intricately hung with ropes in a weird pulley system. Liz was beating her head against the side of her cage.

***Afterward***

Liz: Wait!!! I wanna know what happens

Nar: Too bad I'm tired I'm just gonna end it there.

Mack: CHIPOTLE

*Mack wanders around the afterward chat and then falls over*

Edward: I think Mack's still only semi-conscious

Nar: No duh, do you think I don't know that

Edward: I'm sorry just don't kill me!

*Edward is almost struck with lightning but he dodges it*

Edward: Ha I defy the ultimate might of the narrator

Nar: Do you guys want experience points or what?

Kara: Can I forfeit my experience for more lines; I mean I don't really say anything.

Nar: Don't worry you'll get more lines

Edward: Ha I have a whole lot of lines and I defy the power of the Narrator.

*Edward is struck by lightning and dies*

Nar: Whatever

*Everything goes back to normal as if the afterward never happened, in fact I don't even know why I wrote an afterward I tired and bored.*
