Chapter 6: The Riddle Room
A metal door creaked as it swung on its hinges on the other side of the room. Sparx walked towards the door, when he was inside the next room the door behind him closed locking him in. I'm not getting going back that way then.
The room he was in was old and dusty, through lack of use. He looked around, there were five doors each a colour of the hyper force. But they weren't ordinary doors, far from it.
Each door was inside the mouth a sculpture of a snake with the colour corresponding sentence above it. It looked like the snakes were about to swallow their doors. Their tails folded under the doors and joined together in the middle of the room.
Sparx walked towards themiddle of theroom, cautious and wary. He didn't know what he was up against.
"Task one: The Riddle Room" a robotic voice said as the blue door opened. Riddles? I hate word games with a passion! Sparx shakily headed towards the blue door. He put one foot through when the snake's jaw surrounding the door began to close quickly.
Sparx, not wanting to be squashed, jumped through and landed on the icy cold floor. His breathing was heavy but slowly returned to its normal pace. What is it with 'self-closing' doors in this place! He looked around, the walls and floor were a deep Indigo in colour. A life-size stature of a robot monkey stood in the middle of the room.
On closer inspection the statue looked like Gibson, in fact it looked incredibly like Gibson. Sparx looked around, searching for any kind of clue to what he had to do. Suddenly Sparx spotted a door hidden in between the masses of Indigo.
Doing what anyone wouldSparx walked towards the door.
"Hey bone bag, I thought you said it was challenges!" He yelled, only silence was his reply. Sparx was about to open the door when the blue monkey leapt to its feet and ran In front of Sparx. Holy Shugazoom! This thing can move?
"You must not pass!" it said, its tone was lifeless and dull. Ok then maybe this thing isn't Gibson…… although he is a bit dull at times…right back to reality.
"You must not pass!" it said again.
"Yeah I kinda got the idea of that..." Sparx mumbled
"You can only pass if you answer my riddle." Its voice is so boring it could make Gibson's speech interesting, and that's saying something.
The creature's eyes met Sparx's before he muttered:
"Fine"
"Then let us begin." It said before sifting its position.
"Here is your riddle:
What belongs to you but others use it more"
Where's Brain Strain when you need him? Honestly, he's always there flapping his gums when you don't need him… oh well better try and work out this riddle thing.
Sparx thought of all the various things that belonged to him…..magnets well no one uses them, unless they never told me…
"Can you give me a clue?" Sparx asked, but the statue remained deathly quite. This things almost as fun as Gibson, What would Gibbs say at a time like this? Probably something like: well think probably use your brain to think logical! Me logic? Pah the day that happens is the day I marry Otto! Then Gibson would say something like: be careful what you say Sparxs.
"Your time limit is running out" The statue grunted.
"What the! I have a time limit!" Sparx shouted, however the statue didn't even flinch.
Sparx's mind ran another list of all he things he owned, but still no success.
"Heh it's probably something stupid, something like my name!" Sparxmuttered but no response came from the statue.
Try the simple things Sparx! A voice wormed into his brain. Sparx thought of Nova, of how bad of state she was in, what life would be like without her.
"Fine, you win" he grunted to the voice, which he could imagine was doing back flips right about now.
"Is it my name?" Sparx asked, the statue turned towards him and opened its mouth to speak……..
