"Ok everyone I'll take care of all the ghosts for the time being" said Nick"Why you" asked Selena
"Because I've traveled with them this entire time. Besides it's just till we escape" said Nick
"Understandable. Sorry for doubting ya" said Selena
"No problem. Anyway ghosts get around the bars. I'm pretty sure the cold you let off will be able to cool the bars down and freeze them so they can snap and break" said Nick
Nick led the ghosts to a side of the bars and all of a sudden the bars got colder and colder. Until a few of the bars broke off leaving a gap in the cage.
Just then the first parted leading forward to the next area.
"Great job Nick. Let's go to the next room" said Eli
Eli, Eli jr, Selena, Hailey, Nick and Shane ran to the next room followed by the ghost of Jeromy, Jesh, Marissa, Linden, Noah, Big Kev, Tyler, EJ, and Dalton.
"Is it hotter in here or is it just me" asked Selena
"Selena we are literally topless so no heat feels hotter through clothes of that leaked sense. But yes I feel it as well" said Hailey
"I think this explains it. It's a lava pit" said Eli
We see the lava pit and a door on the other side.
"How are we going to cross this" asked Shane
"Yeah no clue think we are stumped" said Eli jr
"Umm guys. We know Steele isn't that smart. We can literally walk around it" said Nick
We then see. A small ledge going around the lava pit that is a little higher so the ground isn't as hot.
"Well fuck. This continues into another door but we can continue to the door we saw originally" said Hailey
"Hey Linden go check if the door down there leads somewhere and Marissa check this door and see if it leads anywhere as well" said Nick
Marissa and Linden agreed "you got it boss". They went to check and reported back to Nick.
"The one I checked has a big room and seems like the correct way" said Linden
"Mine also leads to what seems like the right way but the door after you need a key which seems like it leads to the way out" said Marissa
"So we need to find a fucking key why can't we just break it down" asked Shane
"Because tha ya cheating. Besides this section needs to be longer to build suspense and set up the next chapter" said Eli jr.
They continued across the ledge to the door across from where they started and entered the next room.
"Seems like a Puzzle" Said Selena
"Well yeah but what do we do. Like it's no jigsaw puzzle. It seems more complicated" said Shane
They thought about it for what seemed like hours and tried everything they possibly could and all of a sudden the wall started to open.
"I don't know what we did but we did whatever we were supposed to do" said Eli
"Why didn't we say what we did. Seems like rushing to me" said Ei jr
"Son Listen. Sometimes it just needs to be rushed. It said we took hours. Besides. We figured it out. Could've been as simple as standing in certain positions or pushing a few buttons in the correct order. Maybe both. But we got it that's all the matters" said Dalton
"Why you call me son" asked Eli jr
"Time will tell you soon" said Dalton
They walked through the next room. And saw a key.
"This the key we need" asked Eli
"Think so. Let's take it and see" said Nick
They grabbed the key and ran out of the room in case a boulder would come down like in Indiana Jones. They all ran back up the the door that was the other option.
"You May be asking why it says up. The ledge was kinda slanted up and down like a small hill" said Eli jr
They mad dir through the door. And put the key into the lock and through that door they were teleported outside to where the barbecue was held
"Fresh air finally" said Selena
"Yeah we can finally warm up. Been cold as hell minus the fire and lava sections" said Hailey
"Look as Long as we Are careful we are ok" said Eli
"YOU SON OF BITCHES" yelled Steele
"RUUNNNNN" yelled Nick
"GET YOUR ASSES BACK HERE" yelled Steele.
The chase was on.
