ChickFlick Chapter 11
They pressed on as fast as they could; a deadly race between them and the fast-rising waters. Second place was NOT a good offer. The section of the tunnel they were in now seemed to go on forever, like they were going round in circles; everything looked the same. Probably because the walls were still made from bare earth and rock, and the only dim light came from miniature versions of the power cube in the battle arena. Pan shivered.
"This is spooky. It seems like he's expecting us. Lights are on, but nobody's home. I wonder what other little surprises Cell has in store for us."
That put everyone's imaginations to work. Soon they were all looking nervously over their shoulders and picturing terrifying things in their minds.
'STOP IT!' Eighteen mentally yelled at herself, 'everything will be fine!' That made her feel less scared. By maybe about one percent.
And the tunnel kept running on, straight and level. They flew, to avoid the cold water below them. The small power cubes were few and far between. To break the silence, Bulma queried
"What are we gonna do when we get there?"
That stopped everyone in their tracks. What WERE they going to do when they got there?
"I guess none of us have really thought about that yet." said Videl, and Pan and Eighteen agreed. "I'm thinking, what, about 15 of them versus the 4 of us?
"FIVE of us."
"Yeah. I doubt the guys'll be up to much of a fight." Of course, none of them mentioned the fact that Chichi and the guys might not be there, or that they might be too late. They had to keep up SOME optimism.
So onwards they flew.
* * * * *
It seemed like they were flying as fast as they could but still getting nowhere; very frustrating. Eighteen kept thinking, 'we MUST be nearly there, we MUST be nearly there!' But it was another ten minutes before there was any change in their monotonous journey. There was a wall. A stone wall, probably about a metre thick. In the middle of the wall was a small, wooden door. Just to the right, a very out-of-place signpost proclaimed:
BE WARNED
Whoever dares to walk through this door has entered the Temple of Terrors. Once inside, the only way out is the exit at the top of the pyramid. More information on the separate rooms of the temple can be found inside. Past this lies the only route to the mighty Lord Cell's base.
Eighteen snorted.
"An invitation if ever I heard one."
"I agree." said Videl.
"So?" asked Bulma. "Are we going in?"
"D'you think we have any choice?" Pan asked rhetorically.
And so they prepared to enter the Temple of Terrors.

Chichi awoke to darkness. She felt extremely tired, but slowly she could feel the energy creeping back into her weakened limbs.
'Huh? Wha...? Where am I?' asked her groggy brain. Slowly she realised. She was being dragged painfully along the ground by a little green creature with a grip like iron. She suddenly realised what this must mean.
"HEL-" But before she could shout for help, the Cyberman, (for that's what he was), clamped his hand tightly over her mouth. She was still too weak to resist much as he gagged her and bound her hand and foot in strong metal chains. He then slung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and continued on his way as if nothing had happened.
Chichi just felt like going back to sleep again, but she forced herself to hand on to consciousness. She HAD to know what was going on. Where were the others? How long had she been blacked out? Where was this guy taking her? The last question, at least, was easy to answer; every step that the Cyberman took was taking her closer and closer to Cell. Her blood ran cold.
'Okay Chichi, focus.' She told herself sternly. The last thing she remembered was the immense combined power of the shield and the hologram, and the surface of the water getting closer and closer as she fainted...
Just as she was thinking, 'hmmm, maybe I have enough power to blast him now', the Cyberman turned aside and started searching the wall with his fingers. Eventually he must have found what he was looking for, because he pressed on the wall and a section of it slid smoothly backwards.
'Ahah!' thought Chichi vaguely, 'a secret passage!' This hidden shortcut ran along parallel to the main tunnel. But after only about 20 metres, the Cyberman pressed against the wall, another panel slid open, and they were back in the main tunnel.
'So,' thought Chichi, 'not a shortcut. Just a way around some obstacle or something.'
She was jerked out of her thoughts when another Cyberman appeared beside the first one. Without a word to each other, the new arrival shoved a strange looking gun in her face.
"You ssssee thissss?" The irrational part of her mind felt like telling the Cyberman that she was blind, but her common sense told her to keep her mouth shut. Luckily, she listened to the sane part of her brain.
"Thisss iss a laser. Now watch clossssely." Chichi watched apprehensively as he bent down and picked up a small rock/large pebble [take your pick] off the ground. He threw it up in the air, whipped the laser forward and pulled the trigger. A venomous green beam shot out and hit the rock in midair. In a split second it had exploded with a loud zapping sound.
"That willsss be yousss if you tryssss anything tricky!" said the Cyberman, looking positively delighted, yet evil at the same time. Chichi gulped.
The first Cyberman took a piece of rope and tied one end around her neck. He then gave the other end to the other Cyberman while he untied her legs.
"Now get up and walk!" he spat. ChiChi stumbled up onto her feet, her hands still chained behind her back. And the laser was pointed straight at her head as they started walking.

Ok, I know this is a bit short but it was the only suitable place for the end of a chapter. And also, I wan't to get this out soon because I'm going away for a couple of days. So, hope you liked it. PLEASE REVIEW!!!
