Chip and Dale had been in their cell ever since they arrived yesterday. They had nothing to eat except porridge with hairs in it. Sometimes even full wigs. Chip now had a growing tummy because he couldn't eat the porridge as it was very disgusting, but Dale was so desperate to eat that he even ate that porridge. In fact, he spent the whole time taking the hairs and wigs out of his bowl of the porridge and ate it. It disgusted Chip a lot, but on the other hand Dale was busy and not giving him a headache like he usually did with his constant annoying questioning and stupid suggestions. That also gave Chip had a lot of time to study the cell they were in and try to think of a way how to escape. He tried to find a loose tile on the wall and the floor so he and Dale could make a tunnel to escape, but there wasn't. The cell had no window and the light on the ceiling was high that he couldn't reach it. He studied the cell door and tried to squeeze the keyhole, but he only got zapped to the back of the wall. After that, Chip gave up on ideas trying to escape and he had nothing to do except avoid watching Dale continue to eat the disgusting porridge and wonder why the hawk sorceress and her dragon army wanted them and what they were going to do to them.
Then the cell door got opened by the red and yellow dragons, who cuffed the chipmucks up and forced them out.
"Where are we going?" Dale asked.
"Silence!" the red dragon yelled. "And keep moving!"
The dragons took the terrified chipmunks to a room. On the way, the chipmucks tried to escape the dragons by trying to run in the darkest parts of the corner to hide or trying to be ill, but the dragons were too clever for them.
The room the chipmucks were taken to looked very much like an ancient temple. It was mostly dark with only six flaming torches on the stone walls, so all they could see were creatures. There were dragons, but there were more creatures the chipmunks had never seen before. There were giant, terrifying birds and winged monsters of all kinds and their sorceress Annie. They looked like they were all gathering around something in the middle.
"Welcome, chipmunks," said Annie. "Today your lives will change for the better."
"Better how?" Chip demanded. Then he got smacked on the back by the red dragon.
"Do not question the Lady of the Skies!" ordered the red dragon.
"Place them on the stone," Annie ordered the dragons behind the chipmunks.
The dragons obeyed. The chipmunks were worried as they stood on the stone. They couldn't even lift their feet up. It felt that they were completely stuck on the stone. They tried to get off, but they couldn't.
"What's going to happen to us?" Dale asked.
"I don't know," Chip said.
"I'll tell you what's going to happen," Annie said as she flew and hovered in front of them. "Your souls will leave your bodies so we can experiment on them."
"Our souls, you mean?" Dale asked.
"No, Dale, she means our bodies," Chip said.
"No, Chip, I really did mean your souls," Annie said.
"How?" Chip asked. "You can experiment on bodies, but not on souls."
"Then how do you explain this?" Then Annie clapped her wings.
The chipmucks heard some rumbling. They turned to see a few stone things popping out of the ground around the stone they were stuck on. They were completely shocked at what they saw.
"Weird looking statutes," Dale said.
"They're headstones, you moron." Chip would have hit Dale on the head like he usually did every time his best friend said or did something stupid, but he couldn't because he was completely on one end of the stone and Dale was on the other and neither of them could move their legs.
Annie just laughed evilly. "Oh, I hope I haven't put you off from this because – Oh, wait a minute! I don't even care because you're not even going to remember experiencing the event!" Then she laughed evilly again as she flew away.
Her minions laughed with her.
"Who said you could laugh?" Annie yelled at them. "Get to work!"
Then the chipmunks looked up to see the blue and green dragon carrying something like a golden box. They could see the bottom underneath it and it looked empty, but they knew that they were going to put it over them and it wasn't going to be good for them.
"Whoa!" cried Dale. "This is very cold and dark!"
"Put a cork in it, Dale!" Chip yelled.
"Soul Taking Crystals in position!" Annie ordered.
Most of her flying creatures flew above the box which trapped the chipmucks in and held out the giant diamonds.
"Remove the boulder!" Annie ordered.
Two dragons, the pink and purple ones, flew to the roof and removed the boulder revealing a hole in it. It lent down a ray of sunlight which shone on the diamonds and reflect to the golden box.
Then Annie chanted in some sort of language and waved her wings around. Then the golden box shone like gleaming gold and then it died down.
Annie smiled with evil joy. "Okay. Give me the diamonds and remove the box. Let's show them how they like their souls being experimented on, shall we?"
She was given all the diamonds, but after she finished looking at all of them, she was angry. "WHERE ARE THEY?" she roared as she flew them to the stony floor.
All her minions stopped working and looked at her.
"Not one of these diamonds have one of their souls!" she explained angrily. "WHERE ARE THEY?"
"My Lady!"
"What?" Annie angrily turned to the blue and green dragon, who had lifted the golden box up. She flew to it and saw that it was empty. Not even the chipmuck bodies were under there. Then she smiled and laughed. This time none of her minions laughed with her because she was doing the kind of laugh that scared them to death. "Blue Dragon?"
"Yes, My Lady?" the blue dragon asked.
"You are in charge of this golden box, are you not?"
"Yes, My Lady."
"And you checked there was nothing in it before you brought it over?""Yes, My Lady."
"Did you check that someone like Cy-Had was invisible and hiding in the box?"
That got to the blue dragon. "It didn't even pop into my mind."
"Didn't even pop into your –" Annie just chuckled evilly. "Well, because it didn't pop into your mind, Cy-Had made her invisible, rescued the chipmucks – both their bodies and their souls – and are now escaping! Why the lady I worship gave you brainless morons to me while I have to do all the thinking is really beyond me!"
"My Lady –"
"SHUT UP!" Annie roared. "You are all going to fix it by bringing them back! And if any of you ever fail once more while you work for me, I will turn into you all into something that's at least useful like... potions. Got it?" She smiled with delighted as she saw her minions quake with fear. "Good. NOW, GET GOING!"
"Yes, ma'am," all her minions said as they flew away.
