Chapter Seven: Through the Tunnel
Kimiko and Raimundo decided they were far enough from the others and decided to walk to also save their energy.
After a long moment of silence Kimiko asked, "So, who were those people?" she looked at Raimundo.
He shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't go behind the scenes. However, I'm becoming interested in your story." he said raising his eyebrow looking at her, "I know I'm not supposed to mention Wuya,"
"Nope," replied Kimiko.
"I'm a little scared to ask about the gecko,"
"DRAGON!" shouted Dojo.
"Whatever, but one thing that bothers me, if you wanted to go so badly, why didn't you just go?" he asked stopping in his tracks.
Kimiko stopped as well and replied, "Well…." she looked over at Dojo, but before she could say another word they heard running coming from behind them. Kimiko looked back and saw Omi, Clay, and the two Jacks running down the tunnel.
"RAIMUNDO!" shouted Jack, the real Jack.
Raimundo grabbed Kimiko's arm and shouted, "Run!" they went flying down the tunnel. Kimiko kept looking back over her shoulder to see if they were getting closer. The others were a few yards behind them and were gaining speed. Raimundo and Kimiko came to a light at the end of the tunnel and when they saw that it was daylight, they quickly got to the end. And when they were outside, they realized they were trapped. There was a cliff right where they were standing and cliffs surrounding them and a river that was a river that was dammed on the cliff that was behind them. It was either jump or be captured. They saw that the others had come out of the tunnel.
Raimundo then thought about what to do. He thought, 'This is gonna seem strange but,' he grabbed Kimiko's waist, pulled her close and jumped off the cliff.
"AHHHH!" Kimiko and Dojo shouted as they were descending to the ground at fifty miles per hour. But then Raimundo, with the hand he was not using to hold Kimiko, made a gust of wind to carry them safely to the ground.
When they got safely to the ground Raimundo let her go and she began to ask, "H-how did you-?" Kimiko never got finish her sentence, for when they touched the ground Jack and Jack double were using the backpacks on their backs, or helibots as they called them, to fly in the air.
"Give it up Raimundo! You have no way to escape! Cough up the scroll!" they started descending to the ground.
"You will not get the scroll!" said Omi, and he jumped in the air and shouted, "WATER!" all of the sudden the dam behind them burst with water coming from it. Then Omi sent the water down towards the others.
Then Kimiko looked all around and saw a cave in the one of the cliffs. "Come on!" she shouted to Raimundo grabbing his hand and leading him to the cave.
But before they could reach the cave, Clay shouted, "EARTH!" and the cliff that was above the cave began to collapse. Kimiko and Raimundo got to the cave before the cliff completely collapsed. When they entered the cave the rocks from the cliff covered the entrance. Omi then filled the canyon with water sweeping even the Jack Spicer's out of there.
Inside the cave, Kimiko, Raimundo, and Dojo began to panic. The water from outside was quickly filling the cave.
"There's no way out!" shouted Dojo, "We're trapped!"
"No! There's gotta be a way out!" she started hitting the walls with her pan and Raimundo dived underneath the water to see if there was a way out. But no luck, they were trapped.
"It's too dark down there." he stated after he got to the surface.
Kimiko dived underneath to see for herself. Raimundo quickly grabbed her arm and said, "There's no way out. It's too dark to see down there."
Raimundo let go of her arm and she said, "This is all my fault, I never should have disobeyed Wuya." her eyes began to fill with tears, she tried to hold them back but couldn't.
"No, it's my fault. I shouldn't have took the scroll, and if I didn't we wouldn't be in this mess." he said looking down at his feet, if he could see his feet.
"This is no time for sobbing!" said Dojo, "We can't give up!" he tried to get the other two to not give up, but he gave up.
There was a long moment of silence then Raimundo said, "I can control wind." Kimiko and Dojo looked up at him, "Someone might as well know."
Kimiko replied to this saying, "I can control fire."
"What?" asked Raimundo a little bit confused.
Kimiko then got a great idea and said, "Can you use the wind to make the water part?"
"Well," Raimundo realized what she was getting at and summoned the wind before the water could reach the top of their heads. He made the water part, and Kimiko summoned a flame the size of her hand in front of her and looked around. Raimundo jumped at the sight of the flame. To her relief, there was a tiny hole by her foot. She bent down with the flame still in her front of her and began moving the rocks out of the way.
Raimundo began getting weak from the controlling the wind for so long and the water came down again. Kimiko managed to get enough rocks out of the and when the water came down it drained out with Kimiko, Raimundo, and Dojo being drained out with it.
Kimiko, Raimundo, and Dojo went onto shore. "We're alive." exclaimed Kimiko.
"How did you that?" asked Raimundo remembering the flame she had created.
"Oh, that. Well…." Kimiko looked over at Dojo then at Raimundo who was wide eyed. "That's kind of a long story."
