Dungeons and Teachers (Which are fiercer than Dragons)
I Guess this is really Kara's Rescue, oh well couldn't think that far ahead. Or is it a funny Metaphor because they really didn't save Kara. Ahh the confusion @ @!!
Escape from the Pit - - - now does this mean they really escape or is it a metaphor.
***Edward, Liz, Natasia, and Kara***
Ropes and chains were flying everywhere. Cages moved in all directions on the bizarre system of ropes.
"Ahhh" Kara screamed as her cage plummeted towards the lava, but then stopped as a different cage came down and her cage was lifted up slowly.
"Quick, try and open the cages," Edward yelled as an empty cage swung into his. He quickly caught it with a flaming hook, and began to melt an opening to get into the other cage, which he saw would get him closer to an edge. Natasia, realizing her power, willed her flower into a spinning razor blade and began to cut the bars. Suddenly an empty cage was immersed in the lava and dropped off; the cages all dropped and moved about quickly. Fortunately all the kids stopped a bit, but oddly Liz cage began spinning.
"Ahhhhh" Liz screamed," I have to get out." She waved her hands to initiate an incantation and her dress glowed with bright flames and her eyes glowed with unbelievable power. Edward finished cutting the cage, and leapt on the top of it
Edward saw a close ledge and leapt for it. Immediately after he landed he began to fight a computer with a flaming short spear. Nat was about to cut through the cage when she noticed that Liz's cage was spinning almost to a blur, and she heard Liz yell, "PROTECT YOURSELVES!!!!" and she looked over as a bright glow radiated from Liz's cage.
***Melody***
She moved quickly, her feet falling silently upon the stone hallway. She flew down a staircase and came into a small room with a small pool on one end and an opening in the wall emptying water into it. Melody turned her head to listen. A weird sliding sound had been following her and now it seemed to come from the walls. Realizing she was too tired, from the lack of food, to change size, she desperately looked for something to defend herself. Reaching into her boot she noticed a hilt of some sort of dagger. She pulled it out and found it to be a heavy dagger with curve. A far-off knowledge told her it was called a Kukri. She focused her mind on it and the kukri grew slightly to fit her hand, when suddenly the water empting into the pool surged and a vague shape flew out of the wall opening and slid across the floor. Melody thought the shape to be familiar and realized it must be a fellow classmate. She rushed over to see a boy, soaking wet, in black studded leather armor.
"Mack?" Melody said wondering who it was and if they were still alive
"Uhhhhh. . ." Mack groaned and coughed up mouthfuls of water, "yea, Melody?"
"Yes, it's me, what in the world is going on?" Melody asked as Mack propped himself up on his elbows.
"Well, I'm not entirely sure." Mack said trying to compose himself, "but what I gather is that the teachers are up to something sinister. Some how they've transmogrified the school, or teleported it, or teleported us or something, and they've been trying to capture us.
"Yea," Melody rubbed her head, "I seem to remember seeing Mrs. Rayne, laughing maniacally, when I bunch of monsters took me too a cell."
"Guess that's about right, as far as we can tell she and Mr. Lavud are behind this."
"We?" Melody questioned.
"Oh that's right so far I know Edward, Liz, and. . ." he rubbed the bump on the back of his head, "Natasia are all here somewhere, somehow I got separated from the group."
"Oh and Jessica's here too, I saw her dragged along I hallway in front of my cell."
"Hmm, It seems there are a lot more kids here than I thought, oh also when whatever happened, happened the kids got some sort of magical powers." Mack said and demonstrated by creating a mini light show.
"I got that" Melody claimed as she increased her size to match his.
"Great! But quick we should try and catch up with the rest of the group" Mack said, realizing the situation. Quickly they made their way down a nearby corridor in search of the rest of the group.
*** Edward, Liz, Natasia, and Kara***
Liz's cage was spinning wildly and suddenly she screamed an incantation. Suddenly fire exploded out of Liz's cage, and flows out like water in slow motion (Blatant Matrix Rip-off). The flames extended out into an orb around Liz's cage and made a horrible hissing, whirling sound. Suddenly, realizing the situation, Nat created flower armor, and crashed through the cage leaping for the ledge. She made it and tried to find cover. Kara, aghast, tried to find cover from the apparent tension that filled the air, in her small cage. Edward, oblivious, continued fighting.
"Fwoosh!" fire flooded out of the sphere, and a huge explosion rocked the room.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!" there was a collective scream as Liz's cage shot up to the ceiling and all the other cages flew to the edge of the pit singed and flaming.
"Noo!!!" Nat cried for her friends. As she screamed there was a burst of energy and Liz's cage broke the ceiling and bounced up into the darkness above and flew out of sight along a corridor above.
***Melody and Mack***
Silently, they flew down the corridor, which curved slowly to the left. They had been running for sometime but their seemed to be no end to the corridor. Finally, they came to a large, dark room. They stopped a moment to catch their breath, but could find little to rest upon in the dark. After composing himself, Mack took a few steps towards the middle of the room; with a snap of his finger he created a small ball of light to illuminate his path, and nearly flew back against the wall. He was but a few inches from a seemingly bottomless pit. Powering up the light a bit he saw the room clearly. Cobbled like the rest of the castle, the room itself was about the size of a football field and was empty except for a long deep pit that separated the room in half.
"Hey Melody, I think you outta come see this" Mack said. Melody walked up and then took a step back. Mack took a pebble off the ground and made it shine brightly; he took it a dropped it off the edge. They watched the pebble as its glow died away down deeper in the pit.
"Anyway you can think of getting any further?" Mack asked.
"We could turn back," Melody said hopefully.
"I don't know, we came a long ways without seeing any other corridors, let's see if we can't get across before we do that." Mack said thoughtfully
"Ok," Melody said tiredly, "I can get us across but I need some rest first."
"Sure thing, take a breather, I'll stand watch," Mack said.
"Thanks," Melody said resignedly, she was extremely tired, and drifted off sleepily back to normal.
***Edward, Nat, and Kara ***
Smoke and dust fumed about the room. Nat looked out across the room but could see nothing but a brown darkness. She lowered her ashen flower armor and out of her flower a huge fan sprung. Emanating a low whirring sound, the fan quickly removed the smoke from the room. Peering past the room she saw cages cracked and sizzling along the sides of the room. Huge chunks of ceiling filled the lava pit and only a few scrapped parts of the computers remained, she saw no sign of her friends. Suddenly, a somewhat bewildered voice came from above her. "Are you alright." Natasia looked up to see Kara floating in a bubble like force field. Nat sat amazed as Kara came floating down and landed on the ledge.
"That's really difficult," Kara said with a touch of exhaustion.
"Wow" was all that Natasia could say.
"Oh no, where's Edward?!?!" Kara worried.
"Right here" came a happy voice from nearby. Nat and Kara looked around bewildered. Right near them, the black scorched wall moved slightly and a black as ash Edward emerged; he was seemingly unhurt.
"Looks like I'm fire resistant" Edward said very pleased, "is everyone ok?"
They checked themselves and all seemed to be in tact. Slowly, they thought of what was to happen next.
"Wait, what about Liz?" Edward thought. The all looked up at the abnormally high ceiling and the gaping hole of darkness Liz had flown through.
"Quick we have to go rescue her" Kara said as she rushed through the closest door. Nat and Edward just stood there. Kara came back through the door and looked across the room and saw a fanciful staircase on the other side of the room.
"Liz is that way" Kara said quickly and rushed across the room. Nat and Edward looked at each other and followed Kara up the fanciful spiral staircase.
***Jessica***
Jessica sat at her desk tired and frightened of the upcoming doom. Suddenly a clear cube slide out of the wall, and sat on the floor. Intrigued, Jessica moved in her chair to get a better look. Suddenly, Mrs. Rayne face appeared on it.
"Care to see your friends, Jessica?" Mrs. Rayne asked evilly.
"Yes, please," Jessica said feebly. The cube wavered with color and showed an unconscious Liz on a stone floor. Suddenly Jessica's eyes widened and she yelled.
"Run, Liz, run!!!!!"
***Liz***
Slowly, Liz began to wake up groggy from the amount of energy she exerted. She began to crawl around in the dark amid her smoldering cage. Moving with lethargic motions Liz managed to prop herself against the wall. Her mind was filled with a fog that seemed to be keeping her from thinking straight. She was staring out across the room; though she saw nothing she felt she was not alone. Suddenly, terror began to come over her; she felt the presence begin to become more powerful. Frightened, she began to begin to feel her way along the stone wall. Quickly, she realized she'd need a light, and felt around her bag for something. She found something that glowed, the other flaming water balloon. She held the balloon up, but it only gave off a dull orange glow. She looked out but the lights radius was very small, and there seemed to be nothing there. She seemed relived, but her disquieting terror did not depart from her mind. Out of the depths of her thoughts she conjured images that seemed to stand menacingly in the darkness. She tried to calm herself, but she continued groping desperately. Finally, weariness overtook her and she fell into a light sleep, despite the quick dart in the darkness that she caught in the corner of her eye.
***Melody and Mack***
Mack had found a large rock near the ledge and was sitting on it vigilantly, while Melody rested nearby on a sleeping roll that Mack had found in his pack. Melody raised herself up and looked much healthier.
"I'm ready to try to abridge the cavern, but I thought I saw something along the cliff." Melody said worriedly
"Yes" Mack said thoughtfully, "I saw it too; he was an aid to Mr. Lavud."
"Then he must has escaped," Melody exclaimed happy for another comrade.
"Escaped, Melody, or set free," Mack said mystically.
"I guess I didn't think about that." Said Melody
"That, Melody, or this" Mack said confusingly
"I think that was implied, Mack" said Melody a bit frustrated
"Implied, Melody, or implode" said Mack (????)
"Ok. . . well I guess I should try and get us across,"
"Oh right," Mack said apologetically, "what do you have in mind?"
"If you have something straight and flat I'll show you," Melody said. Mack shrugged and searched his pockets and pack.
"All I got is a pencil, that ok?" Mack offered it, and Melody took it, and walked over to the edge. Suddenly, she glowed with bright light, and it glowed to the pencil. She pointed it to the other side and the pencil shot out across the room and created a sort of bridge.
"Wow" Mack said. Melody looked tired but, it quickly fled from her face, and was replaced with a smile.
"Shall we?" Mack asked and offered his hand. They went across the bridge, it was a very tricky business, but they went slow and careful; with this caution they made it across easily. There was only one corridor on this side of the room, they were going to take a slight rest to get things straight when they heard a scream, though not high pitched an unmistakable girl scream.
"Liz!" Melody and Mack said together and rushed through the corridor towards the source of the sound.
***Edward, Nat, and Kara***
Kara stood with her hands to her head and a blue energy emanated from her.
"Liz is very far away" Kara said, "that flame really got some distance I can barley sense her."
"Well, what do we do?" Nat asked desperately.
"I say we progress with as much haste as possible," Kara said trying to stay level headed.
"But haste only costs 1/3 to ¾ . . ." Edward trailed off at the looks he got and realized who he was talking to, "Never mind" he said hastily. They reached the end of the staircase, and came to a set of beautiful wooden doors. Nat pushed through in a hurry and got into yet another room with a lava pit. Yet they saw something dumbfounding and when they all stood in the room the looked at it dumfounded. Huge marble figures were set up above the lava on a huge iron clad grid. There were two sets of figures, sixteen figures each. One set white and one set black.
***Afterword***
Edward: Oh come on how obvious is the chess board thing we have to face.
Narrator: Shut up, I thought I made it cool and mystical
Edward: Sure it was. . .
Jessica: Well at least the narrator tried for you, I only one measly portion
Narrator: I'm sorry Jessica, is there anything I can do to pay you off?
Jessica: Yea, kill Edward
Edward: What!!!
Narrator: Sure thing.
Edward was promptly struck by a flying pig and died, and there was much rejoicing
Everyone (even Edward): Yay
Jessica: Several times
Narrator: You're the boss
Edward was reincarnated and then died, and then reincarnated again. Then he was struck by lighting and died. Then he was reincarnated and then died.
Narrator: Is that enough?
Jessica: One more
Edward was brought back to life and then was mauled to death by wombats, and then was reincarnated since he has some significance in the story.
Jessica: Ok, now we're even
Edward: Ok, that was different. Thanks a lot Jessica
Jessica: Narrator, can you do me a favor. . .
And so ends another section of Dungeons and Teachers. Sorry if this one was a bit drawn out but the next one will be better. And away I go "Whoooooooshhhhh."
