Okay, these next five chappies (Or more) will be very long 4 u, and they'll all be centered around the groups I listed in the previous prologue chapter thingy! Tee-Hee! Glad 2 hear ur all enjoying it! PWEEZE REVIEW:)
Back inside Mistress Ammoraye's manor, she and her faithful servant Hirra (Yay! I finally gave her a name! LOL!) were still sitting anxiously by the monitors waiting for some sign of movement.
"My Mistress, are you certain that the mixtures we put into those cookies wasn't too potent?" Hirra asked as she removed the empty tea tray from the table.
Of course not Hirra." Ammoraye said coolly as she raised her hand and gestured for her servant to approach her.
"Oh, dare I question you, but how do you know for sure?" Hirra asked as she and Ammoraye gazed upward to one of the monitors.
"Because, this group is already beginning to stir." The dark woman said devilishly as she pointed a long black fingernail to the third monitor down.
It showed a bird's eye-view of Kyd Wykkyd, Beast Boy, and Gizmo.
They were still half asleep, and covered in small sticks, dirt and other debris from being dragged out into the forest so far.
In the woods…..
"Agh, where am I?" Beast Boy asked as he rubbed his head, and plucked a few little twigs from his spiky green hair.
As the changeling looked around, he saw he was not alone.
Right next to him, on both sides, lay Gizmo and Kyd Wykkyd. Actually, despite the long way they'd been drug through the woods, Wykkyd looked as though nothing had happened, and he was sleeping rather peacefully.
Gizmo on the other hand, was laying on his back, with his arms and legs sprawled out in all different directions; his tiny face was contorted from either pain or just having a bad dream. (Hmm, could be both…)
Beast Boy then stood up, and looked around.
The forest was so dense, that even now in the early afternoon, the very back of the forest from here looked like nothing but a pitch black hole.
Fortunately though, they'd been dropped in a clearing, so it'd be kind of easy for them to get back there if they ventured out and got separated.
Just then, Beast Boy her a small, almost inaudible moan coming from behind him.
As he slowly turned around, he saw Gizmo sit up and brush the twigs and dirt from his body.
"You okay?" BB asked as he turned back to the pair.
Gizmo nodded tiredly as he stood up. However, something didn't feel quite right to him.
As he reached his tiny arm back, he felt nothing-His tech had been removed, even the small control panel on the front of his suit had been taken away.
"AGH! My crud munchin' tech's gone!" Gizmo cried out as Wykkyd rose from his fitful sleep and eyed the group wearily.
BB then reached into his pocket, and then the other. They were both empty.
"My communicator's gone!" BB exclaimed as Gizmo and Wykkyd searched for their Hive communicators as well but, no luck.
"What the hell is this crazy lady tryin' to do?" Beast Boy asked himself in a whisper.
"Well duh! Isn't it obvious?" Gizmo began as he approached Beast Boy, whom didn't seem to be catching on so fast.
"What?" BB asked as he turned to face the child.
"Ammoraye's separated us. But she did it on purpose, and then she and that weirdo servant lady took away all our ways of communication so we'll stay separated, until we're able to find each other, or the way out." Gizmo finished as BB nodded with a less confused stare.
"Well, we'd better get moving, looks like rain's coming." Wykkyd replied as he pointed upward to the slowly clouding sky.
Back in the mansion, Hirra and Ammoraye were looking to the monitors that wielded Gizmo, BB and Wykkyd's path right now.
"Hmm, hmm. You know Hirra. This never gets old. However, doing the same things each time does loose it's pleasures rather quickly." Ammoraye said with a disappointed stare as she looked to her daughter's portrait.
"Why must you stare at me that way? I'm doing this all for you. After all, the more sacrifices you have, the better chance you'll have at getting out and coming home again." Ammoraye finished as Hirra looked at her Mistress with a surprised yet confused look.
(Hey! You'd do the same thing if one of your friends was talking to a picture! Lol! .)
Back out in the woods, the group was slowly growing more tired, and impatient.
Beast Boy had been leading them for almost thirty minutes, and they were still getting nowhere.
Kyd Wykkyd then looked upwards.
"Agh, it's so dark with all of the leaves and tree branches up there you can't even see the sky anymore." He said idly as he turned to them, and then teleported himself up onto the to of one of the taller trees there.
As he opened up his cape, and stood on the widest possible branch, he gazed outward in every direction.
He could see Ammoaye's mansion, it was getting rather far away, but as he looked to the direction opposite of that, he was shocked to see that it looked as though this heel hole Ammoraye called a forest had nearly no end in sight.
With a heavy sigh, the pale boy teleported himself back down to the ground below.
"So, did you see anything that'll be helpful at all?" Gizmo asked as Wykkyd rejoined his group.
"Well, the best news I can give is that the manor looks a lot farther away then from where we started, and the bad news, is that I saw no end to the woods thus far." Wykkyd sighed as BB and Gizmo groaned.
"Well, we'd better keep on walking." Beast Boy said as he gestured for the pair to follow him.
6-hours later……
"My feet hurt!" Gizmo whined, wishing so fondly that Ammoraye hadn't taken away his tech, otherwise he'd be flying rather than walking.
Now, the group could see quite a good bit of the sky in some sections at least.
As of now, they all looked up to see that the sun was starting to set.
"Hey, anyone have a watch?" BB asked as the group sighed, and came up empty.
"No, but I'll bet it's somewhere near six or seven o'clock." Gizmo said with a yawn as they continued walking.
As the group continued on for another hour or two, the sun had already det, much faster than anticipated.
And everyone was insisting they stop for the night.
"Beast Boy, I really think we should stop and rest for the night. And besides, I'm sick of carrying sixty extra pounds on my back!" A very frustrated Kyd Wykkyd fumed as he gestured to Gizmo, whom was sleeping soundly on his back.
BB then yawned and agreed.
"Yeah, maybe you're right, we can get more done tomorrow." The green boy said as He sat down, followed By Wykkyd whom gently let Gizmo fall to the ground, relieved he'd not have to carry him around anymore tonight.
About only five minutes or so slowly passed, and Kyd Wykkyd had already fallen asleep, but Beast Boy just couldn't.
He was laying on the cold ground, wide awake as he gazed up to the solid half moon above him.
"We've
just gotta get out of here." He said to himself as he tried to get
back to sleep for the night.
Early the next morning, the team was already up, their stomachs aching with hunger.
"Aww man. I'm hungry!" BB exclaimed as the three of them harkened to the loud clap of thunder from in the distance.
As they looked up, they saw that the same spot where they'd looked at the wonderful shimmering moon last night, was now all dark somber storm clouds.
"Crap." Wykkyd said to himself as they started walking once more.
Only a few moments later though, a drop of rain hit the ground, then another, and another, until it began pouring.
"Agh! Let's go find a fuller tree to hide under or something!" BB suggested as he and his two comrades ran for it.
Just then, Gizmo tripped on something, and landed face first into a puddle of water and mud.
"Hey guys!" Gizmo called as BB and Wykkyd groaned and went back to get their friend/teammate.
"What the hall did you trip on anyway?" BB asked as he grabbed Gizmo up from the ground, and then examined the place where his small footprints ended.
There, wedged into a small hole in the ground was what looked like a leaf and moss covered rock.
"Ah, just a rock, forget about it." Wykkyd suggested, as BB bent down and began to wipe the "rock" clean.
"Hey, there's a hole, no two holes in this rock." BB exclaimed as Wykkyd took a closer look as well.
"Oh man. I don't think that's a rock." Wykkyd said as he grabbed the object and forcibly pulled it out of the ground.
There, in Wykkyd's hand, lay a partially intact human skull.
"Let's get out of here!" The mud covered Gizmo wailed as Kyd Wykkyd dropped the skull, and he and BB turned to run with the youngest group member.
Back in the mansion, Ammoraye's attention was fixated on the monitor with the abandoned skull on it.
"Hmm, one of our first victims I suppose. I am sorry if it frightened them a little but, they'll all wind up that way before they're able to escape." Ammoraye said idly as she took another sip of tea.
Meanwhile, Wykkyd, Beast Boy, and Gizmo had found a lovely series of weeping willow trees to hide under as the storm passed.
"Gizmo your filthy." Wykkyd said in a rather serious yet idle tone.
"Well yeah! I fell into a razzin' frazzin' mud puddle! What'd you expect?" Gizmo replied as Wykkyd began to wipe the mud off of Gizmo's face.
His red eyes then widened as he wiped mud from Gizmo's left cheek.
There on the side of his face, was a rather nasty looking cut from his lower jaw to almost his forehead.
"What?" Gizmo asked as Wykkyd looked at his face one more.
"Hmm. It's nothing. Just a little cut. Nothing major." The pale boy finished as he continued to wipe the grime from Gizmo's face.
"We're never getting out of here, are we?" BB sighed hopelessly as he sank down into his seat against the large tree trunk.
"Don't be impatient Beast boy. Everything has an end to it somewhere, of course we'll get out." Kyd Wykkyd said as he and gizmo sat next to Beast Boy, whom nodded approvingly.
"So, should we rest again until the storm let's up? You know, get up our strength for later?" Wykkyd asked once more as BB shrugged and then nodded as he too laid back against the hard ground.
"Maybe Wykkyd's right. After all, pretty much everything does have an end. And besides, we're sure to get out soon, right?" BB asked himself as he began to drift off into a deep sleep.
About two or three hours later, BB awoke, as he looked around, he saw that there was a little light shining down from the trees above, and that the harsh storm had finally ceased.
But as he looked back to the ground beneath the tree next to him, he saw that his group was nowhere to be found.
"Shit!" BB said to himself as he shot up from his sitting place to call for them.
"GUYS! HEY! GIZMO! KYD WYKKYD!" He yelled out as another voice followed. A familiar one.
"WE'RE OVER HERE CRUD HEAD!" Gizmo yelled as BB followed his voice, through a large patch of bushes.
"WHERE!-WHOA!" BB cried out as he fell through the buses, and into a soft patch of grass.
"Huh?" BB said quizzically as he got up, dusted off, and looked to his surroundings.
He was no longer in the dingy, dark, and lifeless part of the forest.
He was now sitting on the lush bank of a clear, shallow river.
"Holy crap. A-am I dreaming?" Beast boy asked as Wykkyd looked over to him and got up to face him.
"Nah. That's just what we thought when we got here." Kyd Wykkyd replied as BB finally realized that the young teleporter was only clad in a pair of navy blue boxer shorts.
"Uh…Why the hell are you running around in your underwear?" BB asked as Wykkyd looked over to the large tree, where he and Gizmo's clothes lay airing out.
"Because, after we found this place, we figured, ah, what the hell, the clothes needed a good washing anyways." The pale boy replied as he and BB looked over to the river, where Gizmo was standing, only clad in his blue boxers as well.
"There's one!" The small child cried out as he dove in a little deeper, only to come up seconds later, empty handed.
"What's he doing?" BB asked as he too removed his clothes and soaked them in the river.
"You think that'll answer your question?" Wykkyd asked as a soaking wet Gizmo walked up to them, a look of frustration set upon his face.
"I can't catch anything Wykkyd! I told you, we need bait or something!" Gizmo cried out as Beast Boy walked over to the river's edge, to find several fairly sizable fish swimming by.
"Oh, I can catch those pretty easily!" BB bragged as he transformed himself into a bear and began to swat passing fish out of the water and onto the shore.
"Impressive." Gizmo admitted with a nod as BB climbed out of the water and transformed back into his normal self.
"See!" He exclaimed as Wykkyd and gizmo smirked.
"C'mon let's get a fire going." Kyd Wykkyd said as he gathered a few sticks to start and keep it going.
"You know, this might not be all bad. After all, it was kinda funny when we picked up that skull last night!" BB pointed out as Wykkyd smiled, and finally got the fire to light.
"Alright, let's get these fish cooking!" Wykkyd said as Gizmo brought some of the catch over to his friend.
As they watched their dinner cook, Beast boy and the other two began to wonder, how we're their friends doing? Were they hurt? And, would they ever be reunited and get out alive?
AN TIME! YAY! XD-See! I promised ya'll a longer chappie! Okay, I worked real hard on this, and it's over 3,000 words! So PWEEEZE LEAVE REVEIWS GUYZ! (Tears!) . Will update soon!
