Chapter Nine: Danger's over... Let's go and purposely put ourselves in more danger!

Finn rolled his shoulders as he ducked into the warehouse. It has now been two weeks since they've dared to step out of the house. That had to change after the somber mood everyone had been in all day, a small girl had been attacked by a broom last night while camping with her family. His hard, he looked over to the rest of his friends. "Okay. This is what the plan is gonna be for tonight. Willa and Charlene will look for the wind clue, while Philby and I look for the stone clue. Amanda, Jess? Do you recall anywhere that might be where its hidden?"

Amanda nodded, even as Jess pulled up a map of the kingdom. Lifting a finger up, Jess pointed to one of the rides. "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh has several mentions of wind throughout it." She moved her finger to point at two more attractions. "Now then, for stone we have two choices. Tom Sawyer Island has a ton of rocks all over it...and Thunder Mountain, well, its in the name."

Willa pulled up her information on the two attractions, comparing them. "I think thunder Mountain is our best bet."

"What am I doing the entire time your guys are searching for clues?" Maybeck spoke up, arms crossed across his chest.

Finn flashed him a tight smile, before nodding to the girls. "You will be fetching Wayne as soon as we have the answer to the riddle. Amanda and Jess will be standing guard for you."

"Good."

"Everyone know what their doing?" Finn took a deep breath, bracing himself to activate the portal to the kingdom.

"Yep!" "I am as ready as I can possibly be." "Come on, let's get goin already!" "Stand guard, got it." "Please be careful out there,the Overtakers will stop at nothing to stop you from succeeding." "Let's just get the last two clues already."

...

Philby bit his bottom lip, pausing once again to scan the information that Willa had sent compiled and sent with them. "Okay...as long as we stay on the tracks we should be okay..."

"Like how we were okay with Splash Mountain and It's a Small World?" Finn muttered out of the corner of his mouth, inching his way along the track slowly, nerves throbbing under his skin as he glanced over at Philby. His constant stopping was making Finn far too nervous.

"Yeah... there as to be a reason behind the attractions coming to life like that." Philby frowned, already tugging out a vial with some kind of glowing blue liquid sloshing around in it. Upon noticing Finn's confusion over the vial, he shrugged helplessly. "Just in case of emergency. It's literally just a smoke bomb."

Finn slowly nodded to that, before continuing along the track, pulling his sword out so as to tightly grip it in his hand. "Come on... the sooner we find the clue...the sooner we can leave this place behind."

Philby nodded in agreement, inching his way slowly along. After several minutes of silence between the two of them, Philby lifted a hand up, lifting his pair of 3D glasses up, and then dropping them back down. Satisfied with the results, he pointed to where some pictographs covered a large slab of an artificial cliff. "There."

Finn glanced over to where he was pointing, immediately picking out a few letters. Like Philby, he lifted his 3D glasses up to double check that he wasn't imagining it. The letters disappeared instantly. Dropping them back into place, the letters reappeared. "T, P, N. Memorize tha..." The ground shook heavily, suddenly, knocking both boys down. Philby's vial smashed against the ground, a blue smokescreen quickly covering the two boys. "Philby!" A coughing fit tore from Finn as he accidentally inhaled some of the blue smoke.

Philby coughed loudly as he scrambled to his feet. "We need to get out of here! I've got a really bad feeling about this!" Philby darted forward, grabbing Finn with one hand while the other seized the fallen sword. Philby hauled Finn to his feet, shoving the sword's hilt into his hands. "Come on!"

Breaking at a run, the two boys sprinted towards the final stretch of track, where they could exit without triggering any alarms. Finn stumbled as something cold squeezed at his legs, holding him in place. "Philby!"

The redhead spun around, already pulling out and mixing several vials together. "Hold on Finn!" His gaze wasn't on Finn though...it was on something behind him.

An earsplitting roar tore through the air, making the hair on the back of Finn's neck to stand up on end. Slowly, he turned around to see... the giant fossil of a Tyrannosaurus Rex that they had passed not that long ago running straight towards him. "Shield!" Finn yelled loudly, quickly summoning his force-field. The extinct dinosaur roared again, its powerful jaw snapping shut over the force-field. Finn flinched as the high tech flickered under the assault. "Philby! Do something!"

"I'm working on it!" Apparently that was a bad idea to say, if the dino's sudden interest in Philby was any indicator.

Finn whirled around so as to face the back of the dinosaur as it ran after Philby. Whipping his right arm back, he narrowed his eyes dangerously at the moving fossil... his arm nearly popped out of its socket with how fast he flung it forward, his sword zipping through the air as it flew towards the walking pile of bones. Screeeeeeeech. Finn winced as the metal dug itself into the backbone. With an rather angry roar, which by the way Finn had disturbing that he could tell the roars apart, it turned back around and charged at him. Finn flung both arms up, covering his face as if that would help the force-field to withstand the attack better this second time around...

The attack never came. Startled, Finn looked up to see that the fossil had been turned to a giant ice sculpture. "Sorry... it was all I could do in such a short notice." Philby shrugged helplessly, already carefully putting away his vials.

"If this is what you can do with a short notice... I hate to see what you can do with a few days notice." Finn shook his head as he jogged back up to him. "let's get out of here."

A/N: Done! Hmm, yeah all of that just happened. And apparently Finn's force-field can't stop a hungry T-Rex forever...on the bright side he had Philby with him! Next chapter they'll get the last clue and put the letters together...while eating froyo in a crowded froyo shop cause why not? Poor Philby, he was thinking he could use a smoke bomb to cover a hasty retreat in case something attacks them... he wasn't expecting that he would fall down thus shattering the vial it was in before the T-Rex showed up to stop them!

Me2Jessicarabbit: Glad that you liked the last chapter. I hope you like this chapter as well. This one was more of an action pack one, while last time hardly anything really exciting happened. I am rambling now so... yeah. Thank you!
