Chapter 8

"Keep running!" Ethan encouraged

"What, straight into the wall?"

"No, maybe there's an invisiportal up there!"

"Okay genius! I hope you're right!"

"Yeah, me too dude."

Conner and Ethan kept running and the wall grew closer and closer.

"Where is it?"

"Keep running!"

"Hey, why did lizard-brain stop back there?" Conner questioned

"Maybe because he knows he's lost us!"

"ETHAN! I DON'T SEE AN INVISIPORTAL!"

"IT'S THERE! I KNOW IT!"

"I DON'T THINK THERE IS ONE!"

"I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT!"

The two yelled as they prepared to kiss brick. They slammed into the wall, both of their bodies making a dent. It was at this point that Conner and Ethan felt like they had something in common with bugs hitting a windshield.

CRACK!

"I THINK I JUST BROKE MY FACE!" Conner cried

"Dude, that was your helmet. And it looks fine to me."

"Dude…let's…not do that again," Conner groaned

Meanwhile…

Monster Kira advanced maliciously towards Trent who was still sprawled across the floor. A wicked double-edged sword materialized in her hand. She thrust it downwards at Trent's chest and heard a satisfying crunch. The crunch she heard was not her victim but her sword impacting the stony floor. She howled in outraged dismay because Trent rolled clear at the last second. Now he was on his feet running away from her and throwing taunts over his shoulder.

"You've gotta be faster than that if you want to catch me! See ya loser!"

The chase was on!

Trent reached the main lab in a matter of minutes.

"Dr. O! She's right behind me! Prepare to fire!"

Before Trent could move out of the beam's projected path, Kira leaped on him and tackled him to the floor.

Dr. O couldn't get a clear shot.

"Trent! You've got to hurry! I don't know how long Conner and Ethan can keep our friends preoccupied!"

"I'm trying! She weighs a ton!"

She growled in his face. Fortunately he couldn't smell her putrid breath with his helmet on but the thought did make him shudder. Trent had never been more grateful for a helmet in his entire life. Trent finally managed to un-wedge his legs and kicked her off.

"NOW!"

The beam struck monster Kira in a blinding flash.

Trent and Dr. O held their breath.
