Authors note: Bella with Chapter two of the maze as Bella still transformed tries to get to this "maze" the little girl spoke about
Chapter 2: Rooms and the girls tests part 1
where we last sawed Bella she was Clover from totally spies as she stepped into a odd hallway with two doors on the sides and a vending machine…right after pushing aside a scare attempt with a dummy.
Little girls voice: very good subject 360, Im already impressed, keep going there is more to see
she said as the speaker shot off as Clover swapped to be agent Venom, but de costumed into Flash Tompsion, now dressed in a black trench coat that is open revealing a black shirt underneath and black pants and black sandals "If this is one of the things to see I am not impressed at all" he said as he looked around "though why do I get a Deja vu feeling going through this *sighs* it dosent matter *Pats himself* just please let me have my iPod or something to write with *suddnely slaps his forehead* wait I can wish it, I wish to have a journal in this place" he said as the Heart of Imagination and toons glowed and formed a journal in his hands "thank you heart and *opens it and sees it instant wrote* awesome, now to figure out how to get out and be worthy of…what ever is going on" he said pocketing it on his hip as he looked around and then bended down and was surprised.
"Wait this car…its similar to when I transformed into Sentinel Prime in his movie verse form to my class reunion…" he said as he had a flashback.
(Flashback)
It then showed a rainy road where Bella, transformed as Sentinel prime is driving down "this is gonna be fun, a high school reunion, I wonder how everyone adjusted and did there lives "I cant wait to see everyone I wonder how they did…though shame I cant show my powers, its gonna be worth it to tell them how I did" said Sentinel though shivered feeling the rain "ugg Hope I can find a hotel to stay at for the night" he said only to see a deer as he gasped and swerved away nearly crashing as he transformed into his biped form and panted as he looked around "what is going on?" he said looking around shivering "that was weird, but unusual *sees a sign* hum "Peaceful hills hotel" good I can get some rest and dry off quickly and call to check up on my freinds" he said as it goes to black.
(Flashback ends)
"I remember going to a hotel last night…but after that…what happened?" he wondered putting the car down as the light at the end of the hall flickered as he sawed to his surprise a little girl playing with a yoyo as he became Gansley in his deep sea warrior form "what on earth? Hello? is something there?" he asked as the light really flickers as the girl disappeared as the yoyo rolled down as the light turned on "what is going on? Is it all in my mind *shakes his head* I need to pull myself together and get the hell out of this place" he said as he walked forward to the popcorn machine.
"Humm…its broken but *looks at the side and reaches in and with a small grunt pulled out a small metal tube* this can help *Looks in and sawed a spring and took it*, and I hope this has some popcorn inside that is fresh" he said as he looked around and then down seeing a box of discarded bullets as he got suspicious as he became Nesbit in his human form as he picked some up "weird why are there bullets here?" he said pocketing it as he looked on the door on the right as he sawed a key hole that seemed to need a token and a crayon "I can use it and I can make a map out of the paper I had" he said as he drew on it "perfect…*slowly turns to the other door as he walked over and was surprised to see it was open* this warrants red flags" he said channeling and becoming Robotic knight as he walked up and quickly opened the door…only to be ambused by a set of razor blades from the ceiling as they tried to saw the robot but failed to do so due to his hard armor but it snapped the string on the heart of imagination making it fall into the room.
"WHAT ON EARTH!?" he yelled in a rare state of emotion as the speakers sparked operating.
Little girls voice: Not really sharp are you?
that made the duel monster mad as he became Clayface or Matt Hagen as he raised a fist "This is a on purpose thing, and to try to saw me in half and…well saw me" he said as he kneeled down and became Spiderman (Ultimate Spiderman) as he used his webs to grab the heart from the room "ugg this annoying *Puts it around his neck* I hate surprises like that, but grateful that I became robotic knight" he said as he looked at the door and then became Nnotoria as he used the hilt of his zampanko to push the door open as he hured light buzzing as he peeked in and briefly sawed the room…it was filled with items cut in half "I will question the symbology in that later" he said as he hured the buzzing and took a step back as he sawed the saw blades as he reached out but got cutted "ouch, I need more practice in using Nntorias Hireo *sees the switch* I need to reach there, maybe as Vigilante" he said becoming the cowboy hero as he tried to reach for his guns but was surprised that he didnt have them.
"What in tarnation? where are my weapons…unless that little girl took them…but how?" he wondered really getting worried, but stepped out annoyed at the buzzing saws "Ugg that noise was stupid" he said partway closing the door as he looked down the hallway as he sawed a gun and it was in the light close to the dark as he made a face under his bandana at the hand print.
'I do not know what are in the shadows…but I need to be quick' he thought before he quickly dashed forward and grabbed the gun just as a hand swipped at him from the dark as he stepped back as the lights flickered on "what on earth?" he wondered as he sawed a picture of a little girl making a face as he frowned "Am I hallucinating? I have no idea *touches the heart of imagination* but I feel I am in a dream of some kind of nightmare" he said as he walked away from the hallway as he checked the gun "Empty…great *Pulls the bullet out and tests it* it needs gun powder" he said as he sawed a odd slider thing and something underneath in the tiles.
"Humm, I wonder" he said becoming Chazz (Yugioh Gx) as he moved the tiles around until he got a opening to reveal a gold token thing "Weird" he said as he sawed the door and place two and two together "Guess its connected" he said as he went up to the door and used the token to unlock the door which it did as it fell into his hand.
"Alright *slowly reaches out to open the door as he paused and became Pesche* Hold it last time I tried to open a door I got sawed, time to try a Alternate idea" he said as he slowly approached the door "I hear the sound of chrismas music playing" he said as he gently shoved it open and was surprised to see a cute chrismas scene with a tree, stockings over the fireplace and a gramophone playing the music and several presents near the tree as he looked around
"Huh? Quaint I guess" he said stepping in…however the moment he did debris from the ceiling fell as the tree went limp as soon everything seems to look like it was burned as even the fireplace flames seemed empty and cold…as behind him the door closed as he turned surprised.
"I stand corrected" said Pesche becoming Ant-Man (Marval movie verse) "Geeze the happiness was short lived" he said touching a tree branch as it snapped off and turned to dust "Shoot" he said as the geromaphone seemed to activate
Little girls voice: Jingle bells, Chrismas ends all is turned to ash
Oh what fun it is to see a subject through these tests
Jingle bells, memories fade, look under the tree
Even though its dry and dead
Theres a gift to you from me!
As soon as she finished the geromaphone stopped as the size control hero blinked "this…is not the type of gift I want, but *turns into Oogie boogie and waves his arms up* I WANT OUT! *Gets calm, so lets see what is under the stupid tree" he said sitting on his big rump due to his legs as he picked up a figuring and a present that oddly had his full human name "Arabella" and he pocketed them both as he stood up becoming firefly (The Batman form) "Well I got what she wanted me to get now what *turns as his eyes glazed over entering Hidden object mode* Is…next" he said as shook clearing the blue from his eyes.
"Not yet" he said as he looked at a small table and sawed a scaple and a metal box "humm *picks up both items as he pockets the scaple and opens the box as he finds two items "I can make gun powder out of this" he said snapping the items making a good powder in the metal box as he then pulls the bullet shell out and poured it in "Now a pellet is needed" he said pocketing it as he pulled the gift out and used the scaple to cute it open showing a figurine and a rubber point.
"A rubber bullet…well half rubber but good enough" he said as he took the shell filled with gunpowder out and placed it on and loaded it as he became vigilante as he placed the gun on his hip "Perfect, now for that hidden object area" he said as he kneeled again as his eyes glazed over as he went through the motions to find the items on his mind list sorting through them until he blinked and sawed in his hands was a green present.
"Ok I have now a green present…now what to do?" he wondered as he looked on the mantel shelf where the figurines were "I need to find them all *pulls out and looks at the present* and I think there is one more in this box" he said opening it and taking out the last figurine "excellent" he said as he became Ryuboshi using his tail as a lift as he placed the figurines as he sawed what needs to be done.
"Humm, all of them needs to be green so" he then started to re arrange them until all the lights on the springs are green as he laughed "Hahah, I did it" he said as the painting behind the figurines lifted revealing a silver version of the token he founded outside "these are something important…for what…who knows" he said taking it as to his surprise the book shelf on the second floor of the room moved revealing a secret passage confusing the orefish Merman.
"Huh?" he wondered as he slithered up the stairs but at the midway point he stopped seeing a girl poke out confusing him for a second "Darla?" he wondered until he sawed it wasn't Atticus adopted sister, her hair was red and frizzy and had a bow in her hair and a pink dress.
'strange could that be the girl I hured on the speaker and gramophone?' he thought as the girl seemed to giggle at the ore fish merman. "Well done subject 360, these tokens track your progress and everything you had learned, you need them to take your place with the others" she said as Ryuboshi got confused "What others?" he demanded as she just chuckled.
"you'll find out soon silly shifter, I cant tell you more but you will find out you silly shifter, you are really smart, if you can handle the pressure that is *she then holds out a key* here catch" she said tossing a key as it fell on the ground "Oops sorry" she said in a tone that means she wasn't as the secret passage closed causing him to glare "why that little…" he started only to hear the rushing of water.
"Oh no the room is filling with water!" he yelled as he felt emerged into the water luckily his gills allowed him to breath 'what the heck? I need to get this water drained now…someting is trying to make sure I am changing back' he thought feeling his powers try to tug and shift her to human as he swam to pick up the key the girl dropped and swam to the cabinet as he used the key to unlock it as he opened it he founded a machine 'this must drain the water' he thought pressing the button…but it beeped showing its denounce to work.
'it malfunctioned I need to fix it quickly' thought Ryuboshi as he removed the cover and sawed the wires needed to connect. Feeling he is running out of time before he changes to be Bella as he quickly arranged the wires to connect together as the lights glowed blue as the water started to drain as Ryuboshi panted as he felt his magic stabilized as he waved his head as he looked down and felt the railing…it was dry.
"What is going on?" he wondered as he felt his hair "even my body is dry…everything dry as a bone…" he muttered as the Gramophone started up
Little Girls voice: excellent, always listen to your instincts…they'll help you survive.
Now keep going, the maze is waiting
She said as a click was hured as he turned becoming (Ultimate spiderman) and sawed the door was opened "this is getting bad…deeply bad and fearful" he said stepping out as he went to what he dubbed as the 'halves room' as he saw the buzz saws as he became vigilante and got the gun out "One shot" he said as he aimed at the switch "got to make it count" he said as he fired as he struck the green button smashing it as the blades retreated as he smirked.
"Bulls eye" he said as he stepped into it as he looked around and sawed many items that were cut in half "what is the point of this?" he wondered as he sawed a doll…a wind up doll on a desk as he became Skeleton King (SRMTHFG) as he sawed it lacked a head as he placed it back on and pocketed it "I don't know why I am keeping this…but I am keeping this" he said as he kneeled down and sawed a dark area under the table "Humm, I need some light" he said as he looked around deeply worried and confused as he looked at the half mirror "a half mirror how odd" he said only to be surprised to see half his reflection…is showing his real self Bella…dressed in what Clover wore and her hair now short with the heart of imagination around her neck as he touched it, the image mimicking him "what is happening around me?" he wondered as his eyes caught on an odd painting as he walked over and sawed it looked like a scene in new orleans "Humm…*touches it* there is something behind the place" he said as he got a idea and pulled out the scaple out and used it to rip a hole in it as his eyes seem to turn blue as he stepped back becoming Shendu as he rubbed his eyes.
"Not yet, not yet" he said shaking his head as he looked around and sawed a shelf in the corner as he picked up a odd power pack "This can be useful" he said as he sawed a dresser closet as he walked over it but sawed something carved into it…it was a picture of a little girl and boy and a message "Me and subject 000…just who is this girl?" he said as he placed a strong claw on the door and took a deep breath…and quickly opened it as he got defensive incase of an ambush…only to see half a dummy, as it gestured holding something.
"Hummm" he wondred as he took the item in the dummys hand and sawed it was a box of matches as he looked at the painting and knowing it's possibly a hidden object game as he walked up, but noticed his eyes didn't glaze as he sawed the strange girl appear sitting on a railing in the painting.
'what in the name…how did she get in there? The fire demon sorccer said as the girl just smiled "Half dosent always mean less, as I sawed that you became some creatures who are half as well *raises a hand and points a finger at Shendu* you become a half dragonling named Drago *Shendu swaps to be Drago to his surprise* a half human half spider like Peter Parker *He becomes Spiderman* and a half human half Ion creature like aka D-Struct" she said as Spiderman then became D-sturuct as he just looked at his hands and glared at the girl "What are you implying?" he asked as the girl giggled.
"Life splits things in half all the time-that's how it is, I am sure you understand" she said as the Ion hero just touched the heart "Part-way but not in this extreame" she said as the girl giggled.
"Leave the NEST Behind you"
She said as D-struct frowned but in the context he can tell that she wants him to look for items "Fine don't answer my problems" he said as he became Wootox and with his long claws…ripped off a picture of a birds nest.
"HASTEN into the night"
She said as the Power ranger Kaju looked around till he sawed some strange words in the 'sky' and ripped it off.
"Discover a new PEACE"
She said as Wootox sawed a peace symbol as he ripped it off 'does any of this have any meaning except ripping canvas off' he thought
"As you take your first FLIGHT" she said as Wootox sawed a pair of angel wings on the fence and ripped them.
"Forget your old FAMILY" she said with a dark sneer as Wootox got mad 'never' he thought as he sawed a photo of a family and ripped that off.
"CUT your old ties"
She said as Wootox sawed a knife and really tore off a chunk of the painting.
"Let yesterdays TEARS" she said as Wootox with his six eyes tried to find something that can relate to "Tears" till he sawed a poster of a crying clown as he ripped it off "Become tomorows SMILES" she said as Wootox sawed the overturn clown caravan and ripped it off.
"Wouldn't that be SWEET" she said as Wootox rolled his eyes and ripped off a sign for a candy store "A life INFADINT" she said as Wootox sawed some rope in an infadint symbol.
"It can be yours you'll SEE" she said as Wootox sawed the eye and ripped it off "Just have FAITH in me" she said as Wootox took of the statue of the angels as he sawed bricks as he removed them revealing half of a diamond token as he sawed the girl was gone.
"She is gone, but what is she trying to accomplish, no forget that…who is she?" he said as he sawed the dark underside of the table and swapped to be a Dusknoir as Dusknoir Bella pulled the matches out and lit them revealing junk as he started to move them out of the way as she founded two doll arms "Alright now to put them on" she said exchinquishing the match and palcing them on the doll "Good now I need are the legs and the key to wind it up" she said pocketing it as she looked at the painting.
"there is more hidden there then what I seen" she said as she floated up to the painting and ripped the rest of the canvas off revealing a lock that like the first door needed a silver token as she took it out "if it worked before" she said as she placed it in and lifted the knob opening the door as the token fell into her hand as she pocketed it "That is good now…" she started as she stepped in surprised to see many pigions in a pigion coop as she became King Candy "Oh poor birds, they are as trapped as me" he said in sadness until his eyes caught something on one of the cages.
"A ledger…a hotel Leger" he said as he jumped up due to his short size and grabbed it as he looked looked at the front "Peaceful hills motel…*opens it and sees his real name "Arabella Kelly"* Hold on I recognize my signature in this guest book" he said as a flashback happened
(Flashback)
The flashback then shows Sentenel Prime back in vhehical form driving up to the hotel before changing into Gansley in his deepsea warrior form bending the rain away from him as he went to the front desk back as Bella as she looked around 'I wonder where the help is?' she thought as she sawed a bell and decided to ring it, but first sawed the newspaper seeing something Atticus, Cherry, Mo and Patch did as she chuckled "Good job guys, you really are amazing" she said "Hello there" said a male voice causing her to jump and become Whirlwind (Avengers assemble) with a gasp but luckully a glamor covered him as he turned and sawed a middle aged man dressed in plaid and has short messy brown hair and a beard as he panted "Oh you startled me, sorry about panicing" he said as the man waved a hand.
"It's ok new Freind, my name is Tom, what can I do for you?" he asked as Whirlwind sighed "Well…I will like a room for the night, I have a school reunion and I need to get going along the path after I rested" he said rebecoming Bella under the glamour as Tom smiled "Sure you can take room 360, just sign here" he said pushing the ledgester forward as Bella wrote her name down as Tom looked at it "Hum, Arabella, that is a really lovely name" he said as Bella chuckled "Thanks, though the whole town is very quiet" she said as Tom smiled.
"Well the whole town is a sleep so try not to disturb her, I'll see you when you wake up" he said as a bit of a confused Bella watched him squish a bug as she seemed to walk up the stairs'
(Flashback ends)
I remember finding refuge in that hotel…the receptionist tom was nice, but after that..blank" he said "Well I am glad you are surviving and handeling this place better than most the slubs who died in here" said a voice causing the candy King to jump and become Loki (Ultimate spiderman) as he waved his staff only for a strong hand to grab it as he sawed who spoke to him.
One he can tell was cherry, but the other was a new comer, she was a bit older then Cherry physically wise about 23, with long brown hair in a ponytail and glasses and a shirt with a goblin on front, an odd pair of headphones and blue jeans and brown tennis shoes and seemed serious, she was the one to grab Lokis staff.
"Really Bells?" the goblin girl said with a smirk confusing the trickster norse god on how she knows his real name "How do you know my real name? Forget that, Cherry how are you here? Is it your dream powers?" he asked as Cherry looked at him.
"Well Bella…that is a long story, but I want you to meet Beth Hale, leader of Team Real of the protectors force…and how we got here…" she started as Beth gave a smirk.
"An even longer story and explination on why you are here" said Beth as Loki belived that there is gonna be a long flashback of explainings
