Yumi: So exactly how did we get out of that dead end?
That's for me to know and the rest of you to find out. That includes the readers! I've lost track of how many chappies I've gone through without the disclaimer. Hmmmm, someone help me think! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9……….oh yeah! I remember now! It was………….finbar!
Yumi: BIGGEST SWEATDROP IN THE WORLD!
Odd: He had the biggest anger mark with loads of white hot yellow sparks. (I love that rhyme. It's so very rhyming. Remember yellow sparks and anger marks? Enough talking then.)
Chappie 9 Why would you find something like this in a digital world?
Yumi: Because this is a fanfic, a digital world doesn't exist except cyberspace, and you are writing that you will find this stuff in a digital world in this fanfic.
Quiet! No Fiddling while teacher is talking! (MAD MOD titans episode, for hearts and flowers)
Yumi: You're no teacher but sure I'll be quiet then.
As I was saying………..
"I have absolutely no idea what those could be for!" said Ulrich.
"Well they are obviously a pogo stick and a jack used for fixing cars." said Jeremy simply.
"I know what they are! It was mentioned in chappie 8, I meant what are they for?" said Ulrich.
"Oh 0o" replied Jeremy.
"Well they are for something but all we have to do is figure out what." said Aelita.
"Well pogo sticks are used for bouncing and jumping higher than you normally would. Jacks are for leveling cars so that you can fix them while they aren't on the ground. It's a handy tool because it promotes space for moving your arms." explained Ayeka.
"How did you know that!" questioned Odd.
"When you're a computer you know just about anything." replied Ayeka.
"Oh" said Odd and turned back to look at the wall that was blocking their way.
'My god these people must be really stupid! I just said aloud what I was and they didn't even notice. This is gonna be a snap.' thought Ayeka.
I dare not reveal yet Ayeka's true identity. It'll keep you readers asking for more if I don't lolz.
"I've got it!" said Odd.
"Space aliens passed through here and left these for us because they are really magical objects from their home world." said he.
"Eureka!" Jeremy shouted.
"We have to bounce up to the top of the wall and stick the jack into the small space between the ceiling and the top of the wall. Keep bouncing up and pulling the jack lever every time so the wall lowers enough for us one each to bounce over it." he finished breathlessly.
"Worth a try." agreed Yumi who hadn't spoken up till this time.
"Odd, you can bounce up and put the jack there. Yumi you can bounce up and pull the lever till it's low enough. I'm gonna take each of you across one at a time." said Ulrich in a important tone.
And so it began the long waste of 15 minutes used for their plan. After 7 had passed the wall was finally low enough. Ulrich started to pick up Jeremy and pogoed over the wall. He left Jeremy on the other side. Next he brought Yumi, and then Odd, then Ayeka, then Aelita was last. When he brought her over he stopped bouncing and jumped off the pogo stick. He was about to chuck it back over the wall when Jeremy stopped him.
"Wait don't do that. If you do then someone could easily follow us if they needed to." he finished.
"Okay. I'll leave it here then shall I."
The moment he put down the stick it vanished. When he looked up the wall had sprung back up to the top. He stood waking in its great height.
"Well never mind then." he said surprised.
They walked on. There were miles and miles of digital pathway ahead of them. They had a seriously long journey ahead of them. They seemed to have walked for hours and hours. They came to rest again against the wall.
"I can't go on this is too far and too much." said a panting Ulrich.
"Me neither." said Yumi.
"Let's go to sleep for awhile." she said.
They all fell asleep immediately. After many hours had passed they woke up. This time there were no monsters awaiting them when the awoke, but something was different then when they had sat down to sleep. Ulrich tried to put his finger on it but it just wouldn't come up. He finally found what it was and shook the others.
"What is it Ulrich!" said Yumi sharply. "I'm trying to sleep."
"It's the paths Yumi, look! They've disappeared. All the paths including the one we were on. They've all gone." he finished.
Yumi sat up to look and indeed when she gazed around there were no more digital paths. It was just bare digital walls and floors. No paths anywhere.
"What are we going to do about this!" asked Jeremy.
He had awoken the others and saw what was wrong.
"Oh I'm not sure. We have to do something or we shall never get out of here!" exclaimed Odd.
