I have 10 minutes to do this, so I'll update now. Luckily, I wrote this when I had a little more time. I don't own MKR.

Chapter 12

They all took in their surroundings. They had just walked into a huge cave. There were torches of fire illuminating the place, & the walls were made of mirrors, each different from each other. Some of them gave the impression that you are thinner; others gave the impression that you are taller, & others gave the impression that you are fatter. They showed you all the ways you could be or dreamed of being, but none of them showed your true self.

"What a strange place…" Fuu said out, looking at one mirror that made her 6 foot.

"Seriously…" Umi muttered, looking at her thinner self.

Hikaru rolled her eyes, but caught herself in the fat mirror. Wincing, she shut her eyes. "Guys, lets go before I actually become fat."

The girls took one last look & nodded. They began to walk as Ascot spoke up. "It's obviously a labyrinth. The target is to find the exit."

Fuu thought to herself. 'Well, this will be much easier than that hurricane…' She laughed quietly to herself.

"The realm guardian must be trying to find out if we're smart enough to get out of here." Ferio pondered.

Lantis nodded. "A fighter must have courage, strength & intelligence." he said out loud as they all started to think.

They tried to find an air draft, but there were none. The doors had closed once more, leaving no gaps to let air enter the gave.

Hikaru created her sword & destroyed a mirror. She smiled, but the mirror just rebuilt itself!

Hikaru's eyes opened. "Ok…Lets try this." She shouted out. "Fire Arrow!" The arrows hit the mirror, but the mirror reflected it back at them!

"Dive!" she shouted as she ducked. The others followed until the arrows finally stopped bouncing.

Jumping up, Hikaru began her Red Bolt attack, but Lantis stopped her. "That won't work. It would just give you a headache & might kill us."

"Then what are we going to do!" she shouted, out of her carefree character. She was tired & hungry. "It's like a jail!" she shouted, but wouldn't say what was really bothering her.

What bothered her the most were her reflections. They were all staring at her, as if they were pitying her. She tried not to look at them, but it was impossible. They were everywhere.

"I'm going to go mad if I don't find the exit soon. Come on, Hikaru, think!' she told herself.

But Umi interrupted her thought. "Obviously, we can't get out of here using magic. If I use my water powers, we will drown. If we use our other attacks, the mirrors will reflect it back at us, just like Hikaru's."

Fuu nodded. "This place is full of mirrors, it must mean something…But what? A mirror…What does a mirror do?" she thought out loud.

"It reflects the truth or the reality." Hikaru impatiently said. "But none of these mirrors reflect the reality! They all distort it!" she cried out.

Fuu snapped her fingers. "I don't see any mirror here that reflects the reality as it is. So…" she started.

Umi's eyes widened. "The exit must be the mirror that reflects the reality!" she shouted.

Hikaru & the guys were confused, but Umi & Fuu quickly walked through the corridors, paying attention to the reflection, the others behind him.

Suddenly, they noticed a single mirror in the corner. It showed two 16-year old girls with long green hair & short blue hair. It was them the way they were.

Umi stretched out her index finger in the direction of the mirror. Her finger passed through. "It's a portal!" she exclaimed.

Stepping through, they found themselves in a huge room, with a fine green carpet decorating the floor, beautiful paintings hanging on the walls & candlesticks illuminating the room, giving it a comfortable & warm atmosphere.

On the other side of the room, there was a throne decorated with precious gems. But, there was no one sitting on it. It was empty. Out of nowhere, a shadow appeared after them. Jumping slightly because of the shock, they watched the face carefully.

She was a beautiful young girl, with dark red hair and deep brown eyes. She was smiling as the guys began to 'swoon.'

Frowning, Umi stepped forward. "Magic Knight of Water, Umi." she introduced herself, glaring. "And you are?"

The girl smiled once more as the guys' eyes turned to hearts, even Lantis'. "My name is Kameko."

"Hello, Miss Kameko." Fuu stepped up. "I am the Magic Knight of Wind, Fuu. Are you the realm guardian?"

Kameko nodded, smiling once again. "Yes I am. How may I help you?"

"We need the jewel to seal our Pillar Powers." Hikaru explained. "I am the Magic Knight of Fire, Hikaru."

Kameko's eyes flared up. "Pillar Powers, huh?" she asked, sweetly. Turning, she motioned. "Please come sit."

The guys followed like puppies, but the girls were cautious. Umi & Hikaru finally stepped forward, but as they did, a barrier surrounded them!

"Hey!" Umi shouted, pounding on the barrier, but it wouldn't give. "What is this?" she asked Kameko, glaring.

Kameko began to laugh, seemingly evilly. "You really are as dumb as they say!" She created a scimitar & laughed. "Now I'll destroy you!"

But she was stopped by a whirlwind restraining her. Turning, she saw Fuu holding her back, fire in her eyes. "You aren't going to hurt them." she said coldly.

Kameko broke free & laughed. "Oh, really? And you're going to stop me?"

Fuu nodded, created her sword. "Yes, I am." She glared right back at the girl.

"Well, lets get it on!" She shouted, getting ready to attack.

Another cliffhanger. The mirror thing I actually got from one of my smart friends. Please RR
