I don't own The Suite Life of Zack and Cody or Lilo and Stitch The Series.
Chapter 7- Elevator Terror
Cody looked up and saw London, holding the collar of his shirt a death grip. "Thanks," he managed to say. "How did you survive that drop?"
"Simple," London answered, swinging them over to a beam, "I found a rope and held on. Then I heard a bunch of screaming. What's going on up there?"
"Everyone thinks you're dead," Cody said, climbing a beam, trying to get to the top of the elevator shaft, as London followed him. "When we saw you fall, we all kind of lost it and started to fight the dark Maddie. We were winning. But whenever we tried to fight, our worst fears kept coming to life. We really need your help."
Hearing this, London started to climb a little faster, and pretty soon they were halfway up the shaft. Suddenly, the screams up ahead were cut off, and there was dead silence. 'Are we too late?' London wondered, and began to hurry, frantically climbing from beam to beam. When she got to the top of the shaft, she gasped.
Everyone was lying in the elevator, exhausted from fighting their hearts out. But their mouths opened in slient screams, because above them, stood a huge monster. London gasped, she had never seen anything like it. Its hair was a wrinkled bunch of red fur, matching its eyes. The skin resembled a frog's, and a tounge that was hanging out of it's mouth stupidly. What was worse, it was about 10 feet tall. ' This must be the monster when it's not transforming into other people's fears.' London realized.
"Hey, London, what's wrong? Oh.." Cody's mouth fell open as he pulled himself up along side London, and looked at the drooling menace.
The monster's gaze was shifted from the elevator to the two small kids hanging from the beam. It raised its hand as it looked at them, and then started to bring it down.
"Move!" Cody screamed, taking London and pulling her away from the bar. They landed on another beam only a few feet down.
"Any plans?" London screamed to Cody as they rolled from beam to beam.
"None, what about you?" He screamed back, trying to steady himself as he swung on a huge wire rope.
"Have you forgotten the order of things? You're the smart one, I'm the dumb one!"
"Yeah, well, dodging a huge beast isn't the order of things either!"
Just then, London saw a small space between the bars. She manged to squeeze herself between them, and tried to get Cody's attention. When he finally realized that London had found a hiding space, he barely manged to drag himself over to her. London pulled him in and they both held their breath.
The monster, seeing that it's prey was gone, began to rip the whole elevator shaft apart. Ropes and beams began falling into the dark abyss towards the bottem of the shaft. Finally, the monster spotted London and Cody, and began to cross a bar to get to where they were.
"Don't worry." Cody whispered to London, "the monster won't be able to get over here."
Something strange seemed to be happening though. With every step the monster took, it got smaller. Soon enough, it was tiny enough to fit into the hiding spot. London felt a small pain in her side and looked over to see Cody elbowing her.
"I've got an idea," he wisphered to her, eyeing the green menace, "just do what I say and everything will be fine."
As the beast got closer and closer, London started to move to the entrance of the corner of bars. So when the monster got close enough, one of London's feet sprung out and hit him in the shins. The monster, losing it's balance, fell over. It managed to grab onto London's hand, and was about to pull it down with her, when Cody grabed her and the waist and pulled. He mangaed to get her out of the shape shifter's grip. London winced as she heard a terrible scream come from the monster as it fell, and then a horrible thump.
No one spoke, until, from up above, Zack called out, "Is it gone?"
Well, after this, there's only one or two more chapters. Thank you to everybody who reviewed, and, I'll be coming out with another story in a few days.
