chapter 17

Jericho's group are walking across the tunnel of the hidden island with Eelin on the lead who uses a tracking device to know the direction of this place.

But then...

They suddenly found a mine cart. So when they check further on where it came from, they led themselves to a mine that's filled with crystals after exiting from the tunnel.

Mele: whoa! Look at all those crystals!

Magi: they're beautiful.

Jericho: so, does this lead a way to the flower?

Eelin: yes of course. It's what it says from my radar as we have to go all the way through the mine until we reached to the other tunnel.

They noticed another tunnel from the other side, however, they see it far away for them to reach through the mine. And they saw how deep the cliff that threatens them to fall from a great height.

While trying to think of a way for them to reach to the other tunnel, they have found a solution when they see a railway track.

They'll have to take a ride from a mine cart together to get there.

So the group get onboard on the cart and begins to ride across through the mine.

However, they didn't expect something that will get them in their way. Which is when a mine cart has indirectly triggered something while the group are not aware of.

Only Sukar's sense alerted where he sees something from the top ceiling of the mine. Which are dynamites that were planted.

"Dynamite!" Sukar alerted everyone.

As it's fuse has led the dynamite to create a massive explosion that causes a debris, where giant spike rock falls over.

"Incoming!" Jericho shouted.

Forcing to protect each other from getting crushed.

Where Mele punch the giant Boulder in an immense strength to shatter it into pieces.

Yuri rushes to use her umbrella to shelter both Jericho and Sukar from a falling rocks.

Eelin tosses a grenade at the giant Boulder that blow up into bits.

Seeing that there are more dynamites that causes more debris through their path, Magi begins to cast a magic shield over the top of the group as a shelter, keeping the giant rocks from crushing them.

Magi: where do they came from? Are we under attack?

Yuri: I don't see anyone around but us.

Sukar: we'll figure something out later. Right now we a bigger problem to deal with.

They continue to destroy every boulder in their path, only to noticed a giant Boulder destroy the track that they're going to run over through.

But Eelin uses her power to put the broken parts back together as fast as she can so the mine cart can safely pass over.

Then, more giant rocks are falling over the tracks, forcing Eelin to intervened by tossing more grenades to destroy it. But when there's a much larger size than the rest , Eelin brings out a rocket launcher to pacify the situation.

They thought it's over as the debris stopped falling, only to see a swinging blades that suddenly released from the walls.

"You've got to be kidding me..." Said Mele in disbelief As they're approaching towards another death trap.

"Stand back everyone!" Eelin begins to step forward and starts using her technopathy as it can also control any sorts of metal as she stop the blades from swinging, and also moves to the other side to allow the group to safely pass through.

However, a wall of fire appears infront of them that came from the tracks.

With the group face another death trap to which they're approaching, Magi uses her magic to create a forcefield all over the cart.

This protection allows the group to pass through the fire without harming them.

After making through, they see a surface that leads to a next tunnel.

"Okay. We're almost there. We'll make it in no-" before Jericho would finished his sentence...

*BOOM*

Another dynamite underneath the track exploded when the cart runs over. sending them flying where they got off from the cart as the track got destroyed and nearly fall down to death.

Only Eelin uses her scarf to grab on to the damaged track that's near to the surface. Then the scarf stretches to grab all the others to save them from falling. But fails to catch her radar device.

She's upset from losing her gadget but has to bring the others to safety first.

.

.

.

After climbing up to the edge of the cliff and taking their breath...

Mele: what was that all about? I thought this island only has deadly monsters.

Eelin: you didn't mention anything about those traps.

Yuri: *sighs*... Sorry guys. It's been so long that I haven't use my power, I must've forgot about the side effect.

Sukar: side effect?

Yuri: The many times I used, my power become weak. Which why I couldn't locate on the entire places, like I couldn't get to see those traps from earlier.

Magi: so, will your power recover?

Yuri: well, since the side effect had already started, it will take 1 hour to recover. Right now, it's only 50 minutes left. Sorry guys, I don't think I could help on this kind of situation.

Eelin: sorry I couldn't help as well. I dropped my radar from the mine.

Jericho: that's alright. There are ways to survive from this island. All we need is to work together to survive.

Yuri: I guess you're right. Let's just go then.

But before this.

Mele: hey guys. Look at this. *picks something from the ground.*

Eelin: hey, that's the crystal from the mine.

Magi: it must've fall off from the exploson.

Mele: and there's more of them. Come on Magi, let's pick some more. We're gonna be rich. *picks up the crystals and put them in her bag.*

Sukar: come on. This isn't the right time for this.

Eelin: actually. I'm gonna take it as well. I'll use it for my experiment.

Jericho: yeah. It does look amazing.

Sukar: *seeing them collecting the crystals and sighs* whatever... Let's just go already.

After that, they proceed to enter the tunnel.

.

.

.

Until...

They found 3 tunnels.

They approach to observe just to make sure if there might be another traps. While splitting up to look closer on each tunnels, with Jericho and Mele checking over the right side, Sukar and Magi on the left side, and Yuri and Eelin is on the middle.

Sukar: hmmm... I'm not sure if this one might have a booby traps. Do you see anything Yuri?

Yuri: nope. My powers hasn't recover yet.

As the group continues to observe the tunnels,  unexpectedly, a floor suddenly opens beneath them.

Before they would say anything, they only scream.

"AHHH!!!"

With this, they ended up falling and gone separate ways.

.

.

.

Eelin uses her scarf to grab onto, also grab Yuri to save her from falling.

.

.

.

Sukar easily lands on the ground by foot. Then manages to catch Magi from falling after that.

"Are you okay Magi?" Sukar asked calmly.

"Ummm... Yes... Thank you..." Magi replied while blushing as she's been carried like a princess.

.

.

.

Jericho landed on the ground by foot, only Mele falls over him as she couldn't break the fall.

"Mele! Get off of me!" Jericho shouted.

"*stands up* Well sorry! I didn't mean to fall over you!" Mele talk back at him.

"*Stands up* Whatever. Let's just get out of here and find the others."

"But where are we?"

Realized that they're in a dark place and tries to look for a way out, they saw a high staircase that leads to the top floor. Which they decided to use it to leave the dark place.

It won't last as they almost reach to the exit.

However...

The stairs turns into a slide.

"Woah! Woah! Woah!"

Sending the two down.

At the bottom, a hatch opens revealing to have a lot buzz saws.

"AHHH!"

Seeing this causing Jericho to scream. So he uses the dagger he picked up from the pocket where he stabs on the slide then grabs Mele by her hand to stop themselves from falling towards the traps.

"Thanks Jericho."

They thought that they were safe from the traps, only to see many barrels that suddenly dropped from the above that is rolling down towards them which is filled with dynamites.

Jericho is left to be shocked, but Mele launch herself up where uses her super strength to punch the barrels to the air which exploded after that. Then leaps herself up from the slide as she continues to destroy more incoming exploding barrels.

Giving a chance for Jericho where he brings out another dagger as he uses to climb up from the slides as fast as he could.

Mele has managed to reach to the top after destroying the dynamite which there are no other Left dropping out.

Then noticed Jericho climbing up who almost reach to the top, to which Mele pulls him up to the surface.

After that, they rush towards the exit.

.

.

.

Elsewhere...

.

.

.

As Sukar and Magi are looking for the others throughout the tunnel...

While Magi uses her scepter to glow light so they could see in the dark.

Until... They trigger something!

"What the- Woah!"

Which is a net that ensnare them and they are stuck suspended above the ground that way.

"Another trap?"

"Don't worry. I'll get us out of here."

Sukar uses a knife to cut open the net so they could get out.

But before they would go down, a floor suddenly opens beneath them. Which is a giant monster with tentacles.

"*Gasp!* Magi stay back! *Only to be grabbed by it's tentacles and screams*"

"Sukar! *Also ended up being snatched by the tentacles*

Now being caught up by the monster as they're struggling to be free from it's grasp and the monster attempt to devour them.

Only Sukar subdued the monster where he toss a dagger on to it's eye.

But this angers the monster begins to squeeze Sukar in attempt to suffocate him.

Seeing her comrade screaming in pain, Magi desperate to save while being wrapped up by the tentacle. But struggle to aim her scepter to blast magic beam directly to the monster. Causing it to let go of the two from its grasp.

Once they fall off to the ground, they rush towards the exit to escape from the monster as it doesn't seem to be killed by the beam but got wounded instead.

.

.

.

When Yuri and Eelin enters to the place, they see the hallway that is completely empty.

"Come on, let's go ." Said Eelin who is about to walk across.

But Yuri grabs her by her hand, "wait Eelin. We should observe it first."

She grabs a rock from the floor where she tosses to this area, which it suddenly cut into to two.

As Eelin surprised, Yuri uses her x-ray power to analyze the area which she  discover that it has invisible lasers all over this area.

Which Eelin activate her glasses that becomes a night vision to see through the hallway.

"You're right. It does have invisible lasers"

"Well then, do you have a mirror?"

"Ummm... Yes."

"I have one as well. We'll have to use it to pass through the lasers."

Once they brought out their mirror, they begin to use it to deflect the lasers so they could easily walk across the hallway while Yuri uses her x-ray vision and Eelin uses night vision to see through the invisible lasers.

However, To their horror...

The lasers begins to move which it's coming close to the duo.

"Eelin watch out!"

Yuri rushes herself towards Eelin and uses her umbrella to protect themselves from the incoming lasers.

When seeing the exit that's straight ahead, they rush themselves to reach, while evading the incoming lasers also continue to use the mirror to deflect it, until they got out in time without being harmed.

.

.

.

Each of the group who were separated had face every death traps that they tried to evade.

Jericho and Mele try to balance over a slim bridge to avoid falling over the pit filled with lava that's beneath them. But also dodges the arrows that's aiming at them.

Sukar and Magi avoid being impaled from the sharp blades that burst out from the ceiling, thanks to Sukar's sense.

Yuri and Eelin are trapped in the thick room that has nothing but filled with ticking time bombs. But in order to avoid getting themselves blown up and getting out of this place, they'll have to disable the bomb as it's counting down. With Eelin trying to figure out which wire to cut to disable the bomb while sweating as it's
Almost running out of time to blow up.

.

.

.

Upon struggling to survive from most of the booby traps, they all managed to escape the place they had been through. Which they ended up reunited with each other at the same time.

"You guys are okay. What a relief." Said Eelin.

"You think?! We almost die trying to get out of this mess!" Mele spoke out.

"Easy now." Magi tries to calm her sister down.

As the a group are taking their breath from their exhaustion, the entrance that the group got out from there suddenly shut close.

The group are surprised and wonders why it close, then suddenly, a wall begins to open which it releases a rushing water behind them.

Realizing that it's gonna flood the whole tunnel, the group makes a run for it.

But it's too late, they're engulfed by a water.

.

.

.

The group have now all been submerged by the water in the tunnel.

Sukar: (in mind)... Must... Keep... Breathing...

Yuri: (in mind) we have to survive...

Eelin: (in mind) but how...

Mele: (in mind) how do we get out of this...?

Magi: (in mind) is this the end...?

They attempt to hold their breaths and do something but all is lost.

.

.

.

"No! Can't die like this...! Not here...! Not now...! We came all the way... Just to save Lumi... She's counting on us...! We can't just stand there and die...! We have to keep on going!"

Jericho thought as he was desperate to get out of this rushing water, so they could resume their quest to save their friend.

While trying to think of a way to save everyone, he remembers something. He pick something in his pocket which is the water gem he picked up from earlier when they first arrived in the hidden island.

So he tries to activate it's power which it only create a current that made the water to drag the whole group through the tunnel filled with flood.

Then when they got out from the tunnel, the current drags out he group out from the water to the surface then lands to the ground. It turns out that they come out from the river and they're in the middle of the jungles.

Jericho: (exhale)... So... (exhale)... is everyone alright... (exhale)...

Everyone: (exhale)... Yeah... (exhale)...

Sukar: you save us there...

Jericho: yeah... It's thanks to this water gem that I found... and I'm glad that work...

With the group being exhausted where they took a breath, Jericho realize something that he forgets which he becomes shocked.

"Oh no... Coco!!!"

He remembers that his pet space mouse Coco was with him the whole time, and worries for it's condition that he had been through.

He quickly pick his pet from his shirt pocket, only to see it completely unconscious.

"Hey Coco! Are you okay?! Come on, stay with me!" Jericho becomes worried and tries to call for his pet to respond. While pushing it's stomach which it only spits out water from it's mouth, then, this regain Coco's conscious and shows to be completely okay, much to Jericho's relief.

"Guys I think we should find a place for us to rest, it's getting dark." Said Yuri as she noticed that it's getting dark and suggest to find a place for them for a shelter.

When Jericho checks on his watch which is only 39 hours left. "I guess you're right. We do need some rest after everything we've done, after all, I'm getting tired. Besides there's, still more time to save Lumi. Let's go then."

So the group stands up and left to find shelter.
