The kids, all curious of the board, and all wanting even a look of
the board, gathered up at Slash's house the next day, all of them full of
excitement and curiosity. Slash came out of his house as the rest of the
kids made it to his house. "Just in time." Slash said as everyone gathered.
"Let's hope we can find where it is." "We probably can." Linda began to
say, "But we'll need someone also who already knows of Silver Mountain. I
hear Wendy has a cottage up on the mountain where she goes with her parents
on some vacations, we could go there."
Wendy Lane, the girl Linda speaks of, is considered the nerdy, more inventive type of the gang. Around the local Snow Town tracks, she is rarely seen, but she does have various homes where she can still continue her research and inventions, even when she's on vacation. Wendy always wears a lab coat, pink shoes, blue pants, and very, VERY thick and round eye glasses. Her hair is fixed in a pony tail that drapes behind her head. Wendy's inventions would probably be of use for finding the Mountain's Grace Catacombs.
The kids were able to call a bus to get them to Silver Mountain, as Silver Mountain was much too far to walk to. Within an hour, they had arrived. The misty, hazy clouds that swirled about the mountain gave it a very frigid look. "Alright, we're not here to race." Said Slash to the rest of the kids, "Let's go to Wendy's as Linda suggested, we'll probably find the place a lot faster with her around." As Slash spoke, they noticed the sky getting darker. "Hmm, must be getting close to nighttime." Jam spoke. "But I've never seen the sky get dark that fast."
Wind began to pick up as the clouds darkened further, snow began to whip the skin of the kids. "Uh oh, that's not night, that's a blizzard." Linda pointed out, "We've gotta find shelter, and fast!" The kids quickly took off, boarding down a snowy street, having trouble seeing through the oncoming blizzard. They slid down the street as fast as they could, but some of them were already feeling the turbulence of the blizzard.
Nancy began to have trouble keeping herself going straight, the wind then gave an enormous howl as it blew Nancy clear off the street! "NANCY!" Jam screamed as he saw Nancy fly into a large dune of snow. Jam quickly turned his board, gripping the snow to a halt, he snapped his board off of his feet and ran after where Nancy had fallen. "You alright?" he said, helping her up. What Jam saw of Nancy startled him, her skin was turning a pale blue, Nancy looked virtually faint as he helped her up. "This isn't good." Jam bit his lower lip, carrying her back to his board, he picked up his board and slung it over his shoulder on a strap. Jam ran over to the side of the street, still carrying Nancy, he ran over to a house that was nearby. Jam banged on the door fiercely, attempting to get the attention of anyone inside, the door was answered by a friendly face.
"JAM?!" The friendly face of Wendy said as she opened the door, "What are you doing up here on Silver." she cut short seeing Nancy almost frozen solid. "Whoa, get her inside!" Wendy demanded of Jam, Jam quickly ran into the house, laying Nancy on a nearby recliner, and covering her with his scarf and his hat. Wendy quickly rushed to the utility room in her house, and came back with a blanket, draping it over Nancy. "I didn't think you guys would be boarding out on Silver Mountain, especially with a Winter Weather Storm Warning out on the Weather Channel!" Wendy said to Jam as she walked over to her kitchen, starting a stove and putting a pot of milk atop of it. "I'll make her some hot chocolate that should help her get warm."
Meanwhile, the rest of the kids were still racing down the hill, many of them in an out of control slide all the way down the slopes of Silver Mountain. "Aieeee!" Tommy screamed as he went speeding into the side of a store, crashing face first into the brick material of the store. Tommy peeled his face off the side, and got up, running to the door and banging on the door. "LET ME IN!" Tommy pleaded as he banged heavily on the door, an old man opened the door, and ushered Tommy in, "Hey now, sonny, you can't be out'n this type o' weather now, eh? Get inside o' me house, an' ye can stay f'er the storm to clear." The old man was kind and gentle, allowing Tommy to help himself to whatever was in his refrigerator, as well as allow him to watch television, Tommy was relieved to find some sort of shelter out in Silver Mountain.
Slash and Linda though, were careening out of control, still going down the mountain at speeds that they found was even too much for themselves. Linda had become so scared that she had grabbed onto Slash and began holding for dear life, giving up on her own talent. "Bah, get off of me, I can't steer!" Slash hollered as he struggles with Linda, Linda's grip was tight, and he could not shake himself free of her.
Then, things went from bad to worse, Slash's eyes widened as he saw what they were approaching, "Linda, let go, NOW!!!!" Slash screamed as he looked onto a multitude of curved cliff-side turns, Linda still wouldn't budge, Slash grimaced as he attempted to steer along the turns, he came extremely close to falling off the sides of each of them, but somehow seemed to maintain his course. "Phew, that was." Slash started, unable to see what came in front of him in half a second, another quick cliff-side curve snuck up on him, hiding in the mist, Slash shrieked as he attempted to turn, but was much too late before he found himself airborne, as well as now in a freefall. It was at this time that Linda finally let go, now attempting to grab a hold of the side of the mountain as she screamed, "Ahhhh! Help! I don't want to die!" Linda cried out, their freefall seemed almost a good five minutes, as they landed with a loud "Pwoomph!!!" into an extremely thick snow dune.
Linda was knocked unconscious by the fall, while Slash got up slowly, shaking himself free of snow, he looked over to Linda, brushed his hair back in concern as he pondered what to do. Slash looked down at the snow dune, and got an idea, he began digging frantically in the snow, looking around, sure enough, he found a small chasm that both he and Linda could fit in, and perhaps even start a fire for the night. Slash picked up Linda from the dune, laying her in the chasm, then ran out to grab branches and wood for a small fire.
Back at Wendy's, Nancy was finally awakening as she caught the delicious smell of hot chocolate around her nose, she smiled to the smell, opening her eyes in bewilderment, not knowing at all where she was. "You're awake, thank goodness." Jam said as he sat down on a wooden chair next to Nancy. He put a cup of hot chocolate upon the coffee table in front of himself and Nancy, offering it to her, Nancy smiled, took the cup, and drank slowly, feeling the refreshing warmth and the delicious taste at the same time. "Where are we?" asked Nancy, "All I remember is falling, getting pushed up off the street and down into a large heap of snow." "We're at Wendy's." Jam said, "I was able to find her place, it was by pure accident too." Nancy giggled a bit, "Wow, but where's Slash, Linda, and Tommy?" Nancy continued to ask questions. "I dunno where they went Nancy." Jam said, "They were still going down the mountain last they saw of you, and last I saw of them, I hope they're fine."
Tommy sure was, he had fallen asleep after gorging on the old man's entire refrigerator, luckily for the old man, he also used his basement as his own private refrigerator, thus allowing himself food even if guests were to arrive. "Gee that boy kin eat a whole lot!" the old man chuckled as he saw Tommy snoring humbly in front of the television. The old man covered Tommy in a large, wool blanket, and went to his own room to sleep.
For Slash and Linda, the pain continued, Linda was still out cold, and with nothing but a small bonfire to warm her, she herself was not awakening from the fall or the cold that bit at her skin. Slash had hunched himself up in the chasm, attempting to keep himself as warm as he could. Slash took a large piece of tree bark he found, and placed it in front of the chasm, at least now the cold air could stop circulating within the chasm. Slash looked over at Linda, and frowned, he had hoped Linda would have woken up by now, but her being in such a "skin-revealing" attire, she was probably three times as cold has he was. It suddenly hit him; Slash took off his coat and put it on Linda, perhaps now she would warm up. Slash noticed a lump in his coat, he reached in and pulled out a bomb, but the fuse was not lit. Slash began thinking, "Hmm, I wonder if." Slash took no more time thinking, he looked at his Blaze Board and began fiddling around with it. Slash looked all over for creases and mechanisms that could open the back of the Blaze Board, but found none, he then took drastic measures, he lit the bomb with the campfire, and put it behind the board. The board slowly clicked a bit, and opened up, two latches opening to intercept the bomb, Slash put the bomb in and held onto the two latches, he heard them click again, and then let go, finding that his little plan had worked, he had locked the back of the Blaze Board's mechanism open. Slash also found a strange dial inside the back, he turned it all the way to the left, and as the bomb ended its fuse, it didn't explode, but rather produced a flame similar to that of a torch. Slash was confused, looking at the flame, he then turned the dial a little to the right, the flame growing bigger and bigger, he then began putting sticks and branches into the burner of the board, keeping the flame going, even if the bomb's fluid had run out.
Night fell on Silver Mountain, Jam, Nancy, and Wendy at Wendy's House, Tommy sleeping at an old man's shop, and Slash and Linda marooned in a small chasm, staying warm by the flaming end of Slash's Blaze board, would they truly be able to endure the harsh, even colder night.?
Wendy Lane, the girl Linda speaks of, is considered the nerdy, more inventive type of the gang. Around the local Snow Town tracks, she is rarely seen, but she does have various homes where she can still continue her research and inventions, even when she's on vacation.
