The four humans could only stare in shock at the naga that was before them. Another one of their friends had been turned into a monster. Tye smirked as he wrapped his tail around Amanda, holding her in a tight squeeze. "Can't. Breathe!" Amanda choked out.

"Hold on Amanda, I'm coming!" Aurel shouted as he ran towards Tye's tail and tried to get it to uncoil from its position around Amanada. Tye didn't even blink as Aurel tried to move his tail. With his new strength, he could've easily smacked Aurel away but wanted to watch Aurel make a fool of himself. Speaking of the Prussian teen, he was actually running out of breath as he tried to free Amanda. Amanda was running out of breath as well.

"Please Tye, stop this!" Rose begged. "You can't do this."

"I have no choice," Tye stated like it was a matter of fact. "Beaute told me to deal with any humanssss I happen to ssssee."

"Oh so now you start listening to your girlfriend," Aurel said, making Tye blush.

"Shut-up idioto! You have no idea what you're saying!"

"Oh ja I do, you're scared of her! Ha! That's a bit funny!"

With every insult and joke that Aurel sent at Tye, Amanda was having less and less grip on her from the tail. Soon her face wasn't so blue and she was able to breathe somewhat normally again. However, Tye soon noticed this and wrapped his tail tighter around Amanda.

"I ssssee what you were trying to do there," Tye glared at Aurel. "Well I'm not sssstupid like you."

"Hey!"

Natie sighed, having enough of this childish stuff. She walked past Aurel and stared Tye directly in the eyes. "You will let my commrade go, da?" She simply spoke with a dark aura surrounding her.

Tye didn't back down. "Make me."

That's what began the long staring contest between Natie and Tye. Neither of them backed down, just waiting to see who was going to make the first move. During this, Tye really lost his focus on his grip on Amanda, which allowed Aural and Rose to get Amanda out of his tail. Slowly, the three backed their way towards the door. "On the count of three, grab Natie and run," Amanda instructed in a whisper.

"One, two....three!"

Rose quickly opened the door and Aurel grabbed Natie by her forearm and the four teens ran down the hallway, trying to find sanctuary somewhere else. Tye hissed in anger as he followed after the humans. He knew Beaute would surely have his head if let them escape. The teens ran like the wind until they found their way to Amanda's room. (The funny thing is that Beaute's lair is right across the hall from Amanda's room).

"Over here!" Amanda ran to the door and banged on it as hard as she could, hoping her roomate, Selena -the daughter of Switzerland- would open the door. "Selena! Let us in!"

"I'm trying to sleep," Selena groaned before turning over in bed. "I don't want to play any games right now Amanda."

"Please Selena! This isn't a game! Let us in!"

Selena moaned before getting up and unlocking the door. When she did, Amanda, Aurel, Natie and Rose ran inside and slammed the door shut. Tye was about to open it when a barrier appeared out of nowhere, blocking him from being able to even touch the doorknob. "Oww!" He shouted in pain. "What the crapola is this?!"

"Take that!" Amanda shouted. "Selena has a neutrality border and you can't get in."

"Dang it! But you can't sssstay in there forever. You'll have to come out at ssssome point." With that, Tye slithered away to try and figure out what he was going to tell Beaute.

When the teens were sure Tye was gone, they sighed in relief, except for Selena who was too tired to care at this point. "We should be safe in here," Amanda said.

"But he's right," Rose stated. "We can't stay in here forever. We have to do something if we want to save our friends."

"How are we going to do that though?" Natie questioned. "None of us know magic, da?"

"Ve'll think of something," Aurel stated.

"Hey Selena, do-" Amanda sweatdropped when she saw Selena fast asleep on her bed again. Wow, I can't believe she's sleeping right now, Amanda thought.

So the four teens thought on the situation for a while until Amanda got something; "What if we make a cure?"

"Make a cure?" the other three asked.

"Yeah. I've seen it in monster moviesl: people try and find a cure to the pandemics. All we gotta do is make a cure."

"How are we going to make a cure?" Rose questioned.

"First we should head down to the Chemistry Lab. When this sort-of thing happens in a High School monster movie, they usually make a cure in a lab."

"Okay." Natie said. "But what do we do from there?"

"..........I haven't actually gotten that far yet."

************

Sneaking down the stairwell, the four capitals felt the pressure building up as they tried to not make the stairs creak. The slightest sound could possibly attract one of their monsterfied friends. Amanda led the way down the stairs with Aurel bringing up the rear. "Okay, as soon as we get into the lab, we barracade the door and watch our backs," Amanda instructed.

As they were a few steps away from the exit, Rose's stair started to creak. Rose stopped walking and so did everyone else. They waited in silence, hoping no one had heard them and then sighed when no one came. Slowly and quietly, they exited the stairwell and made their way towards the Chemistry lab. When they got there, they saw that chemicals were all lined up on the shelves. "Okay, start grabbing a bunch of different chemicals and start mixing."

"Isn't that dangerous Amanda?" Rose asked.

"There's no time to think about that! We gotta get to work!"

Okay so there isn't much of a plan here. What will the group of four do?
