Scooby Doo in France.
Split up.
"Well guys there are two tunnels connected to this room and I think we..." before Fred could finish Shaggy interrupted him.
"Split up right? C'mon Scoob lets go find the ghost." Sighed Shaggy as he headed for the left tunnel, only just as he was about to head down the tunnel he tripped on a vine which was connected to some sort of leaver.
Now when Shaggy had tripped on the vine, he pulled the vine which was connected to the leaver, which had switched the leaver on. Once the leaver was switched the floor underneath the gang's feet started to crack open.
"Jeepers!" Shouted Daphne as the ground she had been standing on gave way, causing her to fall down a large black whole.
"Daphne" yelled Fred, running over to the whole.
"Fred. Help, I can't hold on much longer." Screamed Daphne, since she was dangling over the whole, her fingers slipping off of the newly formed cliff.
"Don't worry Daph, I've got you." Said Fred, as he pulled Daphne up and back onto land, well not safe land though, as it was starting to give way from their weight.
"Quick down this tunnel", Shouted Fred, as the ground started to crumble away again.
There was only one problem though, the crack had gone right down the middle of the cave they were in, at first the crack was small, very easy to jump over, but as the ground crumbled away the crack was way too big for anyone to jump over, thus meaning that those on the left hand of the cave couldn't go to the others on the right hand side of the cave. The good thing though was that each side had a tunnel, which was a relief for everyone, since the floor in the cave they were in, was now gone, and the only thing that was there now, was a large black hole.
"Um Fred, I don't think that is possible." Replied Velma standing in the tunnel on the left side of the cave.
"Yeah I see what you mean." Replied Fred, who was standing in the tunnel to the right.
"I think our only chance of meeting up again is for us to follow these tunnels, and find another way out of this cave." Velma shouted back.
"I agree, we better get started." Replied Fred.
And at that the two parties set out the only was possible for them, Fred, Daphne, Jennifer, and Harold going down the tunnel on the right, while Shaggy, Scooby, Velma, Devon, and Michel headed down the tunnel on the left.
"Fred, look at this." Said Daphne as she leaned over and picked up a pair of glasses.
"What is it Daph." Asked Fred coming over.
"It's a pair of glasses." Replied Daphne, handing them to Fred.
"Hmmm, now where have I seen these before." Said Fred out loud to himself.
"Maybe you are thinking of Mounsoir Lebo Knol." Answered Jennifer.
"Who is he?" Asked Daphne.
"He is za man at ze Desk of ze Praia Hotel, you zee, he haz zem type." Replied Harold.
"Yes, you right, that's where I remember these from, but why are they here for?" Asked Fred.
"Maybe he haz something to do with the Battant Sorcière." Replied Harold.
"Or, maybe he is Dead!" Screamed Daphne, who had just backed into a skeleton.
"What do you mean by dead?" Asked Fred as he shone his torch on Daphne, to see her fighting with a skeleton.
"Get it off of me." Cried Daphne.
Fred then walked over to her, pulling the skeleton off.
"I don't think that's Lebo Daphne." Said Fred.
"Why not?" Asked Daphne, recovering from her little ordeal.
"He didn't have enough time to rot, then decay, and ontop of that turn into bones, we saw him at the hotel when we checked in remember." Stated Fred.
"If it iz not Lebo, who iz it then?" Asked Jennifer, with a shiver.
"Probably some poor miner, who couldn't find his way out of the cave. See... there is a pair of shovels over there." Pointed Fred with his flash light, at a pair of shovels, that looked like if you touched them, they would turn to dust.
"Mon Ami, lets continue down za tunnel, I get a feeling we are not alone." Said Harold.
"Yes, lets continue." Agreed Fred, as they all started walking down the tunnel again. They had been walking for about five minutes when all of a sudden a small light could be seen at the end of the tunnel.
"I think we found the exit." Said Fred, as he began to run to the light, followed closely by the others. It didn't take them long to reach the light, only they didn't run out into the open, they ran out into an army of skeletons, and in front of them stood the Battant Sorcière, its sword ready in its hand.
"Nice going Fred." Said Daphne.
"Don't move." Was Fred's only reply.
"Oh, do not worry, I am zaying very still." Replied Harold.
"And I do not intend to move." Added Jennifer.
Fred then looked behind them to see if they could make a ready retreat, but it was too late, it had been blocked off by more skeletons, that looked like they had just been pulled out of an old War grave, as they had rusted pieces of metal and armor, hanging off of them, with torn pieces of clothing under the armor.
"It kinda reminds you of that time in Egypt." Said Fred.
"Yeah, only we had an army of our own to fight back." Replied Daphne. (Scooby doo in where's my mummy)
"Does zis happen allot to you?" Asked Harold, just staring at them.
"Yeah it does Harold." Jennifer answered.
Just then the army started pushing them towards the Battant Sorcière with their swords.
"I think we better do what they want." Whispered Fred to the others.
"I wasn't thinking of doing the opposite." Reassured Daphne.
The Battant Sorcière who been on a horse when they entered now was seated on a large chair caved out of a rock. The army then made them bow before the her.
"So, you have decided to come search for Joan of Arc, well you have found her, and now I shall demonstrate my powers to you." Screeched the Battant Sorcière in a voice that was enough to send a shiver down everyone's spine. "Bring out the prisoner." She screamed. At her words four soldiers walked over to a small door in the side of the caves wall, and opened it. They then picked up a small frighten looking man, and carried him over to the Battant Sorcière, between her and the gang. It was then that they recognized that man as Lebo.
Then as they watched, the Battant Sorcière screamed at the top of her voice, and waved her hands over the man, causing clouds of smoke to consume him, she then screamed again, and this time she put her hands into the cloud of smoke that had consumed the man, and pulled out Lebo, but this time he was headless.
When the gang saw this, Fred went Green in the face, Daphne fainted, but Fred managed to recover in time to catch her, Jennifer almost vomited, and Harold, did vomit.
"You have seen my powers, and now I shall do that to you, unless you tell me where you're friends are." Screeched the Battant Sorcière, bringing Daphne too again.
"We don't know where they are." Replied Fred.
"Don't lie, or the red head will be next."
"Fred." Said Daphne worried.
"I don't know where they are, you have to believe me." Fred said his voice was very convincing, and so it should since he didn't really know where they were.
"I warned you, now the red head will get it." Screamed the Battant Sorcière as she pointed at Daphne, causing the four soldiers that had carried Lebo over, to head towards Daphne.
"You stay away from her." Shouted Fred, as he punched one of the soldiers. Only getting a laugh from the Battant Sorcière.
More soldiers then started to head towards them, to grabbing Fred, by the arms, another soldier also grabbed Jennifer by her arms, and two more held onto Harold arms. The three could only watch in horror as Daphne was tired up, and dropped on the same place Lebo had been when he lost his head. The Battant Sorcière then let out a loud scream as she waved her hands over Daphne, and the smoke consumed her.
"Daphne." Shouted Fred, with all his might.
Okay, what did you think? Intense, exciting, please let me know. Sorry to leave it on a cliff hanger, but I just had to do that:)
Also I have a question for everybody, do they think the Battant Sorcière is supernatural, or a person in a costume, please answer when you review?
Thanks for Reading.
