The 10 Gateways

The Underworld

January 22nd, 2008

We have been locked up for 2 days now. Christina teleported us to hell and the next thing we knew we were in a cell. Some of us are in different cells. And maybe it's time to know everyone a bit more.

"I'm Tony." The older Mexican introduced. "And this is my little brother, Xavier. He doesn't speak much. He misses his mom a lot after we were separated."

"I am Epic," I said and I said everyone else's name.

"And this is Katherine," Jenny said pointing to her little sister.

"Hi.." Katherine said quietly.

"Ugh this cage is horrible and the only food is on fire," I said annoyed.

"Yeah.." Victor said.

"Guys!" Joe yelled.

"Shut up mortal," A guard yelled at him.

"What's a mortal?" Joe asked.

"A human," Rie said, being in a cage with him.

"I am not a human!" Joe yelled.

"Jenny..." Henry moaned out.

Then Christina came up to us.

"My boyfriend wants to speak to your dumb group." She said.

"Fine." I agreed.

The guards unlocked the cage doors and urged us on to Christina's boyfriend's throne.

"Hello, travelers," He said with a deep voice. "My name is Rick, And I am the Hell King."

"I rule this world and you now." He said at us.

"No, you don't!" I yelled.

Victor and I pushed the guards out of the way and everyone ran.

Christina got a lava gun out of her pockets and she starting shooting at us.

"No matter what keep running!" I yelled.

Then some guards came out of nowhere from behind us. And we ran onto a bridge above some lava. And then some more guards just appeared in front of us.

"We're trapped!" Henry yelled.

And then Christina shot at Victor and he ducked. I watched as the beam barely missed him, and Rie looked in complete horror and shock as the beam hit her in the chest. Almost immediately after it hit, she disintegrated. And she was gone...

"Uh," Victor mumbled.

"R-Rie..." Jack stuttered.

"I will jump into the lava." Joe said.

"Why? No!" I yelled.

"I can distract them and because of my race I can generate my body." Joe said.

"Wow, he said something smart for once." Dr. Roberto pointed out.

"Then jump Joe," I said.

"HEY GUARDS I WANT TO SWIM! SO I WILL GO INTO THE LAVA!" Joe yelled out to the guards.

"Is he suicidal or something?" Christina questioned.

Then the guards looked down and watched him tumble into the lava and saw him swim around.

"How!?" a random guard yelled out.

Christina thought for a while. And then whispered her plan in Rex's ear.

I looked around and saw an exit portal show up behind the group of guards in front of us.

Christina smiled and we pushed our way through pushing the distracted guards.

Then Rex seemed like he was concentrating. He sent a message to his guards. Christina's plan. You could see the guards perk up almost all at once.

So the guards all of a sudden started heading toward the cliff and climbing onto what seemed like an invisible ladder. While we're trying to get away, Jack ran into a guard.

"Hey watch it!" The guard yelled and he shoved Jack onto the bridge we had been on before.

"Jack!" I yelled.

Then, the guard shot at one edge of the bridge with his lava gun melting one side making the bridge unstable.

"Eek!" Jack yelled and fell over.

"No!" I yelled.

And then the land bridge collapsed under neath him making him fall into the lava to his death.

I gasped and then Jenny grabbed me and pulled me to the portal.

But before we could make it to the portal, Lauryn appeared in front of us. She had red eyes and a mad face.

Everyone gasped.

"She's possessed!" I yelled.

"You will never leave." Demon Lauryn said in a stale voice.

"Yes, we will!" Nathan yelled and slapped her down.

Then everyone jumped into the portal. Except.. Joe.

I was just swimming around and the guards all of a sudden were in some kind of fire-resistant boats and charging at me.

"AAH!" I screamed and started swimming and hard as I could.

The lava was hard to swim in.

I jumped onto a boat and made a hole in it and then i jumped onto another boat and knocked down the boat's pole. And then I tried jumping to the next boat, but the guards grabbed my feet and tied me up.

"Let me go!" I yelled. "Stop it!"

"Hahahhahaha! I captured you!" Christina yelled.

Then the guards took me back onto land.

"When you wake up, I hope you like big booms," Christina said to me.

And she knocked me out.
