Again another 2 chapter update so if you haven't already skip back to chapter 7 xx

Murray's POV

After visiting the Guru I felt great, the Guru might join us if we got rid of the miners and bring purity to the land. But first we had to complete our tasks.

My next job was to get to the huge truck; Sly met me once I was there.

"Murray, lets motor out to Ayers Rock and scare away those miners, your Guru wants it 'purified'." Sly said.

"Awesome! This is the biggest truck I've ever gotten to drive. I could crush houses with this baby!"

We headed out to Ayers Rock; they had a huge drill in the middle of a circular pit.

Bentley had a plan to get rid of the miners, it meant that Sly would have to climb onto the drill, take down the guards and hit a switch.

"Nice work Sly. The sonic vibrations caused by that drill should drive all the giant scorpions in the area to the surface. If we can capture a whole bunch of red solider scorpions, releasing them into Ayers Rock is sure to push out the miners." Bentley explained.

"Sounds like a job for the Murray!"

But to capture the scorpions I would have to flip the truck over, then again I'm not complaining.

After I captured about 20 red scorpions I set them free into an entrance to a mine which drove the dingoes out.

Now we had drove out some of the miners we had to bust the Guru out.

Lola's POV

It had been a day and I still wasn't any closer to getting any information from these miners, I had to speed things up.

If I was to find out Muggshot's schedule and work patterns I would have to spy on him, even if I risk being caught.

I took Penelope and Bess with me as I'm not sure what Muggshot's building was like and it could have security measures that I wouldn't be able to get past.

I was surprised by the lack of security, but then again we are in the middle of nowhere and the only people that are supposed to be here are miners.

While they stayed back I scaled the building. I could see into the windows and it looked like a plain office, but each room was full of plans or paper work, I could see why he was busy and had no time to wander round the site.

I approached the highest window which no doubt was his main office, and luckily he was on the phone.

"Just hurry up this phone calls gonna cost me millions! It doesn't matter if I'll have more than millions from this mine, I want a progress report, I'm here slaving away in some dirty mine and making sure the lazy dingoes are doing their job while your sat up in your palace having people wait on you hand and foot!" Muggshot yelled.

I have no idea who he's talking to but I guess this mining thing is only temporary, and whoever his business partner is must sure be well off.

"Well it better be coming along, I want the first ticket out of here and soon! Just make sure it's all built by the time I get there. Oh and one more problem, I seem to be losing workers… How am I supposed to know, collateral damage?! Just make sure I have more workers and you'll get your cut that is if you keep your end of the deal!" he slammed the phone down.

Unfortunately some miners found Penelope and Bess and a riot had started to break out and the miners were losing.

It also attracted the attention of Muggshot himself. He stormed out and down the elevator.

"What are those idiots doing now?!" He yelled.

I scurried down the building as fast as I could but I was too late he was already moments away from them.

I stayed back waiting for the right moment to intervene.

Muggshot stood in front of Penelope and Bess with a stern glare while they stood surrounded in a ring of dizzy and unconscious miners.

"What do we have here? I don't know if you ladies have heard but this is a mining site and authorised personnel only." Muggshot told them.

I could see Penelope was pale with fear while Bess seemed confident but I could tell she was nervous. I thought now would be a good time to jump in but Bess had other plans.

"Well… uhh… that's exactly why we are here we were backpacking round here but we don't have any money left and we saw your site and was wandering if there were any jobs available?" Bess asked.

"Well do you have any mining experience?"

"Well not really but there must be something we can do, I mean my friend here is incredibly smart and I have a lot of strength." Bess said.

"Well I guess you can work as a bar maid and make sure that the miners shack is running smoothly since you took out those guys I guess you'd have no problem with rowdy miners, and the other one can sort through some of my paper work."

"Great…I mean thank you when should we start?" Bess asked.

"Immediately." He strutted away back to his office.

I approached Bess and Penelope.

"This is great you guys! Bess can find out things from the miners and Penelope you can find out where Carl left his tools in Muggshots office."

"Uh-uh. Nope. No way. Not happening, thank you. If you don't mind I'll be back in the hideout." Penelope said as she walked away.

"What! You can't go back he's expecting you to get to work, if you don't hell be suspicious, besides the quicker you find the tools the quicker we get out of here." I said.

"Fine, but once I find them we leave." She stormed up to Muggshot's building.

"Well now she's done we can go to the shack and since you'll be by the bar all the time you can overhear what the miners say."

"Yep, I best be going. But what are you gonna do?" Bess questioned.

"I'll scope out this place and see if I find anything. I'll meet you later." I said and left to search the area.

Penelope's POV

Uh this place is a mess, sure I do enjoy paperwork and sorting files, but I'll be here for days.

Not to mention Muggshot put me on a much lower floor than his, if he catches me near his office he'll demand to know what I'm doing there.

Although I did notice that a lot of files contained details about his old casino, things like its income, materials used to build it and plans for the building. Plus some of it was circled and there was note paper everywhere with checklists for resources and supplies.

I mean I guess he was proud of his previous business accomplishments but I don't see why you would keep all this stuff for a failed business.

Oh well better get some work done.

Bentley's POV

It was my turn to see the Guru and to save time and have as a peace offering; I would bring him his staff and moon stone.

I approached the fence guarding the Guru.

"Hail O Guru of the stone… Murray has purified Ayers Rock and now I humbly deliver your walking stick and Moon Stone. The time for escape has come." I gave them to the Guru.

The Guru seemed pleased to have his stuff back.

"Thank you you're too kind. But tell me… how do you plan to escape?" I asked.

The Guru told me his plan.

"Gadzooks! You can transform yourself? Why once you've changed shape a guard is sure to come and investigate." I paraphrased.

"Heh heh, too true…Wait here comes a guard." I quickly made my exit.

We kept an eye on the Guru to make sure he got out without any problems.

Murray's POV

I watched from the hideout using some of Bentley's cameras installed near the Guru's pen. I watched as he transformed and waited for the shocked and suspicious guard to enter.

The Guru transformed back and jumped on the guards back controlling his mind and smashing him into the locked steel door.

Freedom!

The Guru busted out and got to a place Bentley had marked to lead the Guru to his next plan.

Bentley's POV

"Your talents are impressive Guru." I said as I just witnessed him possess a guard and knock him off a cliff.

The Guru wasn't pleased with the giant drills tearing the landscape and we needed to get rid of them if we were to purify the land.

We watched as the Guru hid from guards with his special abilities and took control of their minds and leading them into the drills.

Of course once that was done we still had other dangerous measures that using the miners to endanger their lives was better than harming any of us.

There was a giant saw on the back of a truck that was cutting into the land and needed to be destroyed; only problem was the electrical current powering the saw blades, the grinder was too strong to attack but the linked generator was unstable and easy to destroy.

All the Guru had to do was run the Guards into the generator.

An easy task as long as the Guru could make the jumps.

The generator took about three hits before breaking down and stopping the blade.

The plan was working and production was slowing at a rapid pace.

The next stages of our plan would hopefully clear out the rest of the miners and rid of the Mask of Dark Earth.
