The Hunt (Book 3)

Chapter 21: Locking Up

Caleb's POV:
We arrive at the battle. Ariana has joined the fight. She's shooting her rock gun at Kad. He just dodges the bullets. The others are trying to shoot him with their powers, but he just dodging.

"Ok, I'll charge up my blinding light, you go help weaken him." I say. She runs off and starts hoseing Kad. I put the swords on my arm together and concentrate. They keep getting brighter and brighter. When they're as bright as can get, I yell, "Cover your eyes!" The others put their hands over their eyes.

Kad sees what's about to happen and says, "That's not happening." He starts covering me in darkness. Not yet I say to myself. It keeps getting darker and darker around me. NOW! and I point the tips at Kad, and release. The light pierces through the darkness around me.

The light shoots straight through him. He's frozen for a second. Suddenly, and explosion of light occurs. I couldn't see anything. The blinding light's gone after blinking a few times. Kad's still where he was standing, but not dark, just flaring.

He falls to his knees, then to the floor. And next to his body was the Dark jem. "Are these things indestructible?" I ask. "Actually, they are. No matter what you do, they won't get a scratch on them." Henry says. "Isn't that nice." I say.

"What's nice?" Brandon asks, uncovering his eyes. The others uncover their eyes too. They all look at me, their eyes asking Did you do it? I nod.

"Yeah!" "You did it!" They yell, hugging me. "Too tight, too tight!" I say, while my bones are getting crushed. "Sorry." Ariana says, letting go.

We look at the people who were turned ... into creepiziods. Now they look normal, and confused. "We should help the people on the ceiling." I say. I try to fly up to one, but I can't get off the floor. Oh yeah, broken wing. "Don't worry Caleb, we got it." And the others start releasing the citizens.

Suddenly the boulder at the entrance starts moving. I start spinning my arm swords. But when the boulder was moved, my dad walked into the building. He had ... glowing handcuffs? "Dad?" I ask, stopping my swords. "Hey Caleb, can you help me? Here." And he tosses me some handcuffs.

When I caught them, the swords on my arms were suddenly extremely heavy. "What are you doing here, and what are these handcuffs made off?" I ask.

"Well, Henry contacted me when you knocked the Dark jem out of Kad, so I came over to take him away. And the handcuffs are made of nuclear rocks. The radiation given off neutralizes the jems powers. So right now, your powerless. So I would handcuff someone." He says, handcuffing Kad. I walk over to Chris, and handcuff him.

-----------------------------------------------------

After handcuffing all the villains and releasing all the mummified people, we went back to the hideout with the unconscious villains. Our dad walks us (drags the villains) to the elevator. "Ok, time for new floor!" He says excitedly. He pulls down part of the wall underneath the elevator buttons. The label next to the button says Cells. He presses it. When the doors open, we walk in.
It has a multiple cells with glass to see through, and the glowing rocks are inside the cells. "This is where you enemy's will be staying for awhile." Dad says, locking the villains up. We watch him put one of them into a cell.

When we get in the elevator and go up to the Main floor, Leyla says, "I kind of feel bad for them." "I said for a little while, I'll only keep them for about two weeks. I'm going to have to contact their parents." Dad says.

When we walk into the Main Floor, Henry says, "Welcome back! I know you just got back ... but there's a jem out there to find."

I look at my wings, fully healed. I look at the others too. They nod. Then my Dad. "A hero's work is never done." He says. He walks to the keyboard and presses the button to open the roof.

"Ok hero's, let's go!" I say. We fly out the roof, after the next jem.
