CHAPTER 5
Journey To the Temple of Dawn
"Are you guys normally this slow?" asked Carey. They were climbing a mountain in Arizona, and Carey was already at the top of the mountain.
"You didn't have to carry Numbuh 3!" yelled Numbuh 4. Numbuh 3 had gotten tired, so Numbuh 4 was carrying her on his back. They all heard his yell echo through the air. Then they heard a rumbling noise.
"AVALANCHE!" yelled Carey.
"BUT WE'RE IN ARIZONA!" yelled Numbuh 4. "HOW CAN THERE BE AN AVALANCHE!"
"I DON'T KNOW!" yelled Carey. "BUT IF WE KEEP SHOUTING IT'LL MAKE IT WORSE!"
"BUT HOW CAN THERE BE AN AVALANCHE IN-"
He didn't have time to finish because the avalanche came.
"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" everyone screamed. Suddenly, they were stuck under a bunch of snow.
"GET US OUT OF HERE!" yelled Numbuh 3. "SOMEBODY HELP!"
"Numbuh 3, calm down," said Numbuh 4.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!"
"You won't die if you just-"
"SOMEBODY SAVE ME FROM THIS HORRIBLE FATE!"
"SHUT UP!" yelled Carey. "DS, melt the snow."
"What does DS mean?" asked Numbuh 3. They had told her everything else except what DS meant.
"It means Demon-Slayer," Numbuh 4 explained. "And how the heck do I melt the snow?"
"Your powers are focused on your emotions," Carey explained. "If you feel angry, you will be able to melt the snow using the element of Fire."
Numbuh 4 concentrated real hard. He got angrier, and angrier. He thought about the sadness Carey had gone through in her life. He knew he had to stop this demon, or face death.
"Hey!" yelled Numbuh 3. "The snows' melting!" By the time she finished that sentence, the snow had melted away, leaving them on a rocky surface.
"Great job, DS!" said Carey. "You melted all the snow off the mountain!"
"You sure the sun didn't do that?" asked Numbuh 4.
"Yes, I'm sure," said Carey. "If the sun could do it, why didn't it melt the snow a long time ago? Besides: when there's snow in Arizona, it means we are getting closer to the Temple of Dawn."
"Cool!" yelled Numbuh 4. "I have super-powers!"
"Duh!" yelled Carey. "How else did you expect to fight the demon? With your bare hands?"
Then they heard another rumbling noise.
"WAFFLE SLIDE!" Carey yelled.
"WAFFLE SLIDE!" yelled Numbuh 4. "WHAT THE HECK IS A WAFF-" Boom, billions of waffles fell on them.
"What do we do now?" asked Numbuh 3. "We're trapped in WAFFLES!"
"What do I do?" asked Numbuh 4. "Toast them?"
"Feel really annoyed, and you will move the waffles using the element of Earth," Carey explained.
"That's easy since these unexplainable physics are driving me nuts!" Then, he moved the waffles. "Is that it?"
"I'm afraid not," Carey said. Then a volcano exploded. "LAVA AND MAGMA!"
"OH COME ON!" yelled Numbuh 4. Then they were all trapped under burning hot lava and magma.
"OUCH!" yelled Numbuh 3. "THIS STUFF IS BURNING ME!"
"WHAT DO I DO!" asked Numbuh 4.
"Feel calm and peaceful and you will cool the lava and magma with the element of water," Carey explained.
Numbuh 4 tried to feel as calm and peaceful as he could. He thought of sleep, calm, quiet, sleep.
"It's cooled!" Numbuh 3 exclaimed. "But how do we get out from under all this rock?"
"Once again, feel really annoyed, and you will move the rock using Earth," Carey explained.
Numbuh 4 felt really annoyed that he was under this lump of rock and that his journey wasn't over yet.
"I can see the sun!" yelled Numbuh 3. "But how do we get out of this hole?"
"Feel free and happy, and you will be able to fly us out of this hole using the last element, Air," Carey explained.
Numbuh 4 tried to feel free and happy. He was happy that Numbuh 3 was traveling with him! Otherwise, he would've had to travel with Miss Serious, and not have proper support from a peppy girl like Numbuh 3.
"Whee!" Numbuh 3 exclaimed. "I'm flying with Numbuh 4! I'm gonna sing! Flying, flying, with Numbuh 4! He is so cute, and he can shoot, fire and some more! Fire, Air, Water, and the Earth! And he'll comfort me, I am sure, when I get hurt!"
At the end of the song, Numbuh 4's face was red.
"Numbuh 4, why is your face all red?" asked Numbuh 3.
"I, uh, it's really warm up here, that's all!" Numbuh 4 struggled to say.
"Smooth," Carey said, sarcastically.
"What's that pointy house down there?" asked Numbuh 3.
"That is the Temple of Dawn," Carey declared. "I have already made a reservation. You need your rest, DS. It's gonna be a big day of training tomorrow."
"It's only 7:30!" yelled Numbuh 4.
"Well for training at this temple, we must wake up at 5:00 A.M." Carey concluded.
"Fine," said Numbuh 4. He landed, and walked into the Temple of Dawn.
