The Spell (A Team Crafted FF)

Chapter 9: Mansion In The Woods

:HuskyMudKipz:

These guys have to be crazy... The woods aren't a place for frolicking! At night it can get dangerous, and even during the day you much watch your back fourteen times every ten minutes. But... whatever, I guess. If it's all who have been getting the headaches, it involves not only the team.

Kermit has told me as of late that he has been getting them also, leaving the kingdom in a compromised situation. With everything going on, the kingdom is left unguarded and unsafe. But... I trust the others enough for them to know what they're doing. I was joined by Mitch and Jerome as the three of us wondered through the forest and towards the coordinates.

The compass that Jerome held in his hands helped guide the way, and we were set to arrive quickly.

"What does this cabin look like?" Jerome asked. Mitch shrugged.

"I dunno, a cabin?" Mitch answered, which made me stiff a laugh. Jerome grumbled.

"That's not what I mea- you know what? Never mind." Jerome said, and we laughed. It took a while, but eventually we found ourselves on a gravel pathway. As we made our way down the pathway, it seemed as we were going further and further into the forest. But eventually, we found ourselves at the "cabin". And trust me when I say this, this is not a cabin.

The "cabin" was atleast 3000 square feet of land, and it stretched into the sky about 15, no, 50 feet into the air. Cabin in my ass, this is a mansion!

"Holy shit." Mitch gasped, and we stopped in our tracks. I wandered down the gravel path and in front of the great oak doors, as I reached for the door knob. Before I could even put my hand on the doorknob, the door opened. It caused me to step back in shock, as Mitch and Jerome join me.

"Uh... did, did you do that?" Mitch stuttered, and I shook my head. As I cautiously walked through the door and down the massive hallway, I found myself at a massive room that seemed to be full of bookshelves with books. But, the best part about that room? I recognized everybody in there.

Ian, Ty, Jason, Seto, Summer, they're all there, which made me extremely happy. Summer was the first to notice us, and with the massive smile on her face, she waved us over.

"I'm so happy you made it." Summer smiled, and I chuckled.

"Yeah, so do we." I joked. Summer laughed along.

"Well, make yourself at home. My home is your home." Summer smiled, and Jerome chuckled.

"Books galore, you must be in heaven Seto." Jerome teased. Seto grumbled.

"Not funny." Seto groaned. As each of us in the room shared a quick laugh, I noticed that Adam wasn't here, nor was Ian's trainee. God what was her name again? Blues? No. Black? No that's not it either! Aha! Blazz! I turned to Summer.

"Where's Adam and Blazz?" I asked her, and she looked around.

"I asked not to bring Commander Adam because I have reason to speculate that he is part of why we are heaving these headaches and visions. As, for Blazz... I don't know." Summer said, and Seto pondered.

"I gave her the information you asked me to tell everyone... she should be here." Seto said.

"Knowing her, she's probably off training in the kingdom." Summer groaned.

"With my electricity power, I can speed off and find her." Ian suggested, and Ty nodded.

"Careful. We don't want Adam finding out about what we're up to." Ty ordered, and Ian nodded. In a streak of blue, followed by the immense cloud of dust that he left behind, Ian spit off back towards the kingdom.

"Let's hope he makes it back in time..." Summer said. Yeah, let's hope.
=================================

:Ssundee:

My power of electricity is definitely helpful when needing to get to far away places very quickly. Out of the eight of us I believe that mine is one of the most useful, but, it can also sometimes be the least useful. But, that's for another time. As for right now, I need to find Blazz as quickly as possible, before someone get's suspicious.

Sprinting through the castle courtyards, I eventually found myself in the training yard. Seeing someone in the distance, I sprinted that way, eventually coming to a stop right in front of Blazz. It seemed that I startled her, because she had to step back in order to aim her bo staff at me. I put my hands up, and she relaxed.

"Commander Ian... what do you need?" She asked, and I looked around.

"Do you not remember the meeting that we set?" I asked quietly, and she sighed.

"I remember, sir. I just thought that I would get a bit of training in before I joined you. Keep the skills sharp." Blazz told me as she placed her bow staff onto her back.

"That's not the point, trainee. The point is someone could see you training, and then watch you exit into the forest. What if they follow you, then report it to Adam?" I asked, and Blazz bowed her head.

"Apologies, Commander Ian... I... I forgot..." She apologised. Uh oh... I done fucked up...

"I'm not trying to sound like an ass, Blazz, but we can't take any chances." I said.

"Any chances with what?" A dark voice asked from behind us. As I turned around I noticed Adam standing there, his posture clean and his stance calm. Uh oh, this is exactly what I was talking about!

"Well, uh... you see Adam, we're uh..." Panicking, PANICKING! I turned to Blazz, and she sighed.

"Commander Ian was just teaching me some fighting techniques that would be best in fighting mindless mobs. I acidentally made a mistake, and he was correcting it." She lied. Oh, she's good. Adam looked to Blazz caitiously, but Blazz didn't flinch. Oh, she's REALLY good. Adam groaned.

"Very well..." Adam said. I smiled to Blazz, then remmebered about the meeting. What am I going to tell him? Aha! I got it!

"Adam, myself and the guys are going to take the girls out for a rendezvous in the forest, to try and uppen their skills in hunting." I informed, and Adam glared at me.

"Uh, with your permission, of course. He he... heh..." I chuckled nervously. Adam groaned.

"Don't be long." Adam ordered, and walked off. I relaxed, and Blazz looked to me.

"Shall we be going?" She asked, and I nodded, grabbing her arm and zooming off back towards the mansion.
