Chapter 29 - Do What We Do Best

Seto teleported the kids away to the second floor, to where Ashley was. The guards were unaware of their teleportation, as they snuck to one of the rooms.

"From what I remember, I heard Jin to put Ashley in a room... but I don't know which one. There's too many doors." Krisalee said, recalling her memory she had experienced. "Max, do you know?"

"Well, think logically. Usually guards are walking around these halls. But this time there are guards." Max said.

"So wherever guards are, there are the doors leading to Ashley." Quentin added. They looked around and saw guards taking watch on a door. A faint 'thump' echoed in the halls.

"Quiet you! No one can hear you from a mile away!" One of the guards screamed.

"That has to be Ashley... she was really fiesty when she was trying to squirm out of her ties..." Lasata muttered. "Guess she really wants to get out to see Carlo."

"Who wouldn't?" Quentin said. "But back to our point. If we teleport there it wouldn't work... it would bring too many suspicions. We need to find a different way to drive those guards away."

"I have an idea." Seto said. He wrapped his cape around his body, and his body slowly grew transparent.

"Whoa!" Krisalee exclaimed quietly. "For a Sorcerer, you're amazing!"

Seto blushed slightly, smirking at his recognition for his skill. "Thanks. But leave this to me. Give Max his spear. No worries, I'll be on watch." He said as he was gone completely, a force pushing Max to walk forward. Quentin chuckled a bit, watching the scene go down.

"Okay, tell them you're taking watch with the one who has the key." Seto whispered into Max's ears. Max nodded slightly, as he breathed and had his usual confident face on.

"Hey! Who's the one with the keys on here?" Max had said boldy. The one had raised their hand, Max holding out his.

"King Jin had given me direct orders to watch over the girl. Switch out and take guard on the castle balcony."

"Yes sir!" The guard had given the key and quickly rushed over to the next flight of stairs as Seto creeped away from Max, who had an invisible barrier to not move. Seto reappeared in a blink of an eye, and knocked the other guard out unconscious. Quentin, Lasata and Krisalee came out and smirked as Max opened the door to where Ashley was. Ashley had her hands tied to her back, her mouth covered with a white cloth. Her arms were bruised and her thighs were filled with splinters.

"Whoa! Ashley, are you okay?" Quentin asked. Ashley gave him a glare that had said 'Really?'. Seto untied her cloth and her ropes, as she gasped for air.

"Thank god..." she panted. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to bust open a wood door with your body?"

"Try doing that with obsidian walls." Lasata said. "But let's get Jess and break out the boys!" Everyone nodded, except for Max as usual. Before Seto could teleport, a sharp sudden scream echoed in the castle.

"Welp. That must be her." Max said, unamused. Everyone ran to the next floor, seeing Jess with a katana in her bounded hands with guards surrounding her. Her face was a light red with her dress torn to her knees.

"Oh god..." Krisalee moaned, taking out Adam's dagger again and running towards one of the guards. Seto followed, dragging Max along with his magic and Quentin ready for healing. Ashley came in to grab Jess out of the mess, untying the ropes.

"There you go Lady Jess." Ashley said, smirking as she charged in to tackle one of the guards. Jess had done the same, until all the guards were unconscious.

"Why don't you just kill them?" Max grumbled.

"We have a code. To hurt is to get through, but taking someones life? When will you learn..." Quentin muttered, looking at Seto to break out the rest.

"Let's get going."

...

"Jorge, snap outta it!" Chris called.

"Ughh... he won't snap out of it!" Tyler groaned. Sub grabbed a stick nearby and threw it at Jorge's cell, but was too big to fit.

"Man... if only the others were here..." Carlo sighed. "Any ideas?"

"Ums... I haves a goods feelings that someones might helps us." John said. "Trusts me. I knows whens I haves goods feelings."

"You're right. Something is blocking Jorge and we need to find a way out. If only we had our spraypaint cans." Tyler exclaimed, hitting the bars of his cellar. It rang throughout the cell doors. Jorge blinked, but continued to be mesmerized by nothingness.

"Jin's gotten to his head... this sucks." Ian sighed, hitting his ahead against the wall. As he did that, the wall started shaking. Ian got up, and felt something coming his way.

"Oh shit." Adam muttered, getting up like everyone else to see what was going on. The walls broke down, seeing Seto in the front using his powers, with the girls, Quentin and Max behind him.

"What up my homeslice breadslice dawgs!" Quentin exclaimed.

"Ashley!" Carlo cried out.

"Lasata!" Chris exclaimed.

"J-Jess!" Ross stuttered

"You guys!" Lasata said, happy to see Chris.

"W-Where's Jorge...?" Krisalee asked, a bit worried. Everyone stayed silent, as Seto opened the cell door to look. Krisalee followed to find Jorge dazed out.

"Jorge!"

...

"Jorge!"

Who's... calling me?

Help...

It's so familiar.

"Jorge!"

An echoing 'creak' was heard in Jorge's head, followed by soft hands on his cheeks. His senses were coming back. His questions gone, and his vision returned to reality, seeing Krisalee in front of him and his friends behind her.

"J-Jorge!" Krisalee exclaimed, hugging him tight. Jorge smirked, but confused as he hugged her back.

"Well good morning sunshine! How's your little nap?" Chris teased. Laughter filled with room for once, the environment lightened up.

"Haha, very funny Chris. I don't know what got to me." Jorge responded, his voice has never been clearer than ever. He got up, hearing heavy footsteps. Everyone looked up, seeing the roof shake.

"Now what!?" Jerome exclaimed.

"We grab our weapons, spraycans and backpacks from Jin's throne." Sub said, his voice slightly coming back.

"We'll take on any guards in our way." Jason added, putting on his helmet.

"And we'll kick some ass while we're at it." Ty finished, determined with the plan.

"Well, what about after? Then what?" Ashley questioned.

"We do what we do best." Jorge smirked, as everyone held hands one at a time.

"We run."

...

"We fight."

...

"We stick together."

...

"We never let go."

...

"We win."
