They needed to move quick, Maurice and Chrysididaen went on the mission to retrieve the explosives. They were able to evade security and absconded with a pushcart full of dynamite.

 Chorda set up the trap, concealing the explosives, it was vitally important that the creature was unaware of the danger. They only had one chance at this.

 Ms. Zhang was still unconscious and was placed on a stretcher. 

From just beyond the tree line, Zeesha and Neesha, began rushing towards the group."Ugly!! You better be ready, Jean is only a few minutes behind us" one of the Fawnee yelled. 

 Just then Advisor Chorda felt a tug on this cloak, annoyed, he looked down to the cherub-like face of the girl.

She was smiling brightly at him, "I don't think you are ugly sir"

"GWaaaKK!! Child, I have no time for this nonsense, be ready to go"

A round faced boy appeared on the other side of the Vulturian. "I wanna go too!! I wanna be with my friend!!"

"Gwwaaakkk gwwaaaakk Gwaakk! This place is infested by children! Be gone, I need to concentrate!!!"

"What are you doing?", both children asked simultaneously.

"Trying to set the detention trigger...Maurice!!! gwwaaakk, qwwaaak gwaaakkk! Remove these little demons from my presence!!"

The round faced boy giggled, "Sera you made the Turkey man angry"

There was a sudden disturbance at the tree line, an ear piercing shriek startled the group. The children were grabbed, Zeesha approached Chorda.

"Ugly, how do I use this thing?", she was referring to the triggering device.

Chorda pondered not telling her the truth, it would be a convenient way to be rid of a nuisance. But considering how dangerous this situation was to his own safety. 

He decided to be forthright, "It is a dead man's switch, once you release the lever you have 5 seconds to detonation. The entrance to the portal is 50 meters down this tunnel. Once activated who knows how long it will remain open. Timing will be essential, before you release the trigger scream a signal for us to enter. It might be a little toasty, good luck. "

The tiny group waited nervously at the portal entrance. There was a horrifying screech all too close by. The heroic voice of Zeesha yelled, "Go go go!!"They all hurried into the gateway, the force of the explosion knocked them flying.
