Chapter 12 ~ The Trap
Everyone had gathered back together still surrounded by tree branches with fears in their eyes and some had tears except Shira and Nikki who knows how to hold their emotions.
"Aiden it's okay. That was just a vision. The forest wants you to think your friends abandon you when it's not true." Shira assured him after bringing him back to the group.
"But it felt so real.." Aiden said shaking his head from all that screaming.
"Radar. It's okay. Jesse is still alive. I'm here. Everyone else is still here." Nikki patted his back.
"I know..." Radar looked down.
"Where's Jesse and Lukas?" Stacy asked.
"We're over here." the voice said.
They looked back to see Lukas, Jesse, and Lluna walking back to them. They were relieved that they were fine. What bothers is that Lukas and Jesse were holding hands causing Shira, Aiden, Nikki, and Radar to smirk at them.
"Glad you guys are okay. Lovebirds~" Shira chuckled.
They both blush and pulled their hand away.
"Whatever.." Lukas pouted still blushing.
"Now what? We can't get out of this place if they keep giving us nightmares." Stampy asked shaking to see the twigs surrounding them.
"Actually there is a way." Nikki said.
"Huh?" everyone except Shira raised their eyebrows in confusion.
"But you saw what they are capable of." Radar said.
"Shira? Care to elaborate?"
They all looked at Shira as she started to explain.
"You guys must think of positive things. Think of your friendship."
That gave Jesse an idea. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her photo that she had kept when she was in her room.
"It's us!" Lukas cried.
"It was right after we defeat the Admin in the Terminal and saved him to redeem himself." Radar said looking at himself in the photo.
"Wow." Aiden said looking at the photo.
"I still never forget when Jesse save me from the destruction of Sky City. Even if I was a jerk." he smiled looking at Jesse.
Jesse smiled back.
"That's cool dude." Nell said.
"Hmph!" Nurm also took out the old photo he kept.
"It's my old friends!" Jack cried.
"I still remember that time with all of us having a great adventure I would never forget." Jack smiled.
Nurm nodded with a smile also.
"I still have the photo that I would never forget before we meet in the mansion." Stacy said taking out the photo.
"Oh yeah! I remember! Oh how I miss them!" Stampy cried looking at the photo.
The happy memory came flooding back to them as they all remember the good times that they had went through all the adventures. They had done well for saving world, discover different things they had never done, and everything. And they were excited about going to different adventures they would ever go. Including making new friends. When they looked up from the photo, they saw no twigs around or even the trees with no leaves make a single move and that they were unexpectedly already out of the creepy forest. Their eyes widened as they were looking around.
"We made it." Jesse said.
Lluna grinned.
"All of our fears have vanished!" Radar cheered.
"Our photo defeated them." Stacy added.
Shira and Nikki smiled.
"Actually what made your fears disappear was your friendship!"
......
Meanwhile, Cassie was planning on trapping them once they get out of the forest. She uses her powers as she rises the monsters that are dead back to life. She raised all the monsters from the ground and made them strong with red smoke around and smart. She grinned evilly as the monsters bow before her.
"Get ready you guys. The Order are coming and we have to get ready to attack on my signal. Kill everything that gets in your way. I will try kill the girl, Shira and Jesse. Don't fail me."
The new monsters nodded and roared with their weapons hanging out.
She laughed hysterically feeling satisfied. But for some reason she was having some regrets inside her heart. She frowned a little that she actually doesn't want to hurt anyone including some others she betray with. Cassie shook her head as she looked at the monsters and looked at the poison arrow and grip on it.
......
After they were out of the Forest of Illusion, they are now by the nice grass with sun in the sky still.
"Boy am I glad to get out of that nightmare forest. It was horrible." Radar said.
"I told you guys friendship helps." Nikki said.
"You are smart. You know that." Radar smiled.
"Really? Well thanks." Nikki blushed.
"Somebody has a crush now~" Shira whispered into her ear causing her blush even more.
"Quiet!" she quietly hissed.
"I hope Petra, Axel, and Olivia would come. They would be surprised that we went to the unknown adventures. They would say "Oh man! I am so jealous! Without me?!" Jesse chuckled.
"Yeah. I wish Petra would see that." Jack said.
"Hmph." Nurm nodded.
"Never knew that this place would be weird. But hey...I'm having a blast." Nell said.
"Really?" Jesse raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah dude! Who doesn't? We get to have fun."
"I agree with Nell. It's our choice to go with you on these adventures. I just really wanted to see what's it like to go out." Stacy said.
"Thanks. You know for coming with us." Jesse smiled.
"I was hoping for some more people to come with us and I'm glad." Lukas said.
"That's cool." Shira nodded.
"You just said 'cool.' Since you have ice powers." Aiden chuckled.
"What if I said you are so blazey." Shira smirked causing everyone except Aiden to snicker.
Aiden pouted and blushed at the same time.
Suddenly, they heard groans and hisses. They took out their weapons looking around. The figures started to come closer as they saw all of the monsters with some red particles on their veins and eyes with their brand new weapons. The monsters surrounded the group as they got ready for the fight. Cassie then came out from the monsters group as she grinned evilly at them.
"Monsters.....ATTACK!" she suddenly disappeared as the monsters charged at them.
Cassie got her poison arrow ready for Shira and was sitting on the tree. The monster were no match for the Order as they took down the monsters in one swing as they killed the other. Nikki used her Golden Dragon power to swift them off making them all fall to the ground hard as they puff into smoke. Aiden killed three withered zombies in the head in a flash as Radar helped him and shot the arrows at the creeper spiders. Jesse and Lukas tried to go after Cassie but were blocked by many more monsters and killed them again. Nell used her two iron enchanted swords, remembering what Shira have taught her and she sliced their heads off in a blink of an eye. She saw them collapsed on the floor and disappeared in smoke.
"Huh ho! I'm totally gonna remember that in my book!" she jumped in joy and attacked the other monsters.
Stampy and Stacy were shooting arrows at the other monsters who are behind one of their friends and themselves as they hit their head with the arrow and use it again without looking back. Shira screamed at them with a Big Sister voice making them cover their ears in pain and she levitated the objects from the ground and threw the stone blocks with sharp object on it at them. They shook their head and was cut off guard as it pierced their heads and puffed into smoke. Cassie was carefully aiming at Shira who was distracted by the monsters as she swiftly spin around like a tornado and stabbed the spider. She smirked evilly as she got a perfect spot and let go of the arrow as it aim towards Shira. Jesse saw the arrow and noticed it was heading towards Shira who didn't see the arrow heading straight at her. She ran after her and went in front of her and in slow motion she dodged the arrow with her sword as it hit somewhere else which is the tree.
"Woah! That was close! Thanks Jesse!" Shira said.
"No problem." Jesse nodded at her and climbed the tree where Cassie had sit who was now angry.
Cassie still have two arrows left. She will use the rest later. Jesse jumped in front of her and hold her sword to towards her neck.
"This has to stop."
Cassie tsked.
"Like I would ever listen to you!"
"Is this what you really want, Cassie? Hurting everyone else?" Jesse pointed out.
Cassie flinched when she saw how serious she is and was thinking shortly before she shook her head and kicked her out of the way and disappeared into the darkness. Jesse fell to the ground feeling speechless if she was right about her.
