MCSM: Reformed Rescuers #4

Part 6 (Olivia and Axel)

Olivia

Her vision was blurring. She blinked to try to see clearer. Her mouth was duct taped shut. She tried to move, but her hands were tied behind her back and she was tied to a chair. What's going on? Then she remembered that she was working on her new build in Redstonia with Ellegard. Two people entered the room and both of us wondered how they were able to get in. They seemed familiar somehow, and I recognize them now as the same people who kidnapped me once before, but this time they had disguises. They acted like fans of ours and grabbed onto us and hugged us. We were shocked but went with it anyways.

Then they pulled cloths out of their pockets and covered our mouths with them. It smelled horrible, and something on them made us pass out. Ugh, I can't believe I fell for that! I wish I recognized them sooner! She looked around, squinting in the dark. There was barely any light. Just enough to see slight shapes... I need to find a way out of here. Unfortunately, there were no sharp objects to break the ropes, or a visible exit seen. Not to mention her inventory and armor had been taken away from her.

A screech came from behind her. She jumped and twisted her head to see.. Ellegard. Olivia mumbled in attempt to speak. Then Ellegard saw her and shook her head. They were both thinking the same thing.

How on earth did we get ourselves into this mess?

Axel

Axel attempted to yawn, just to realize that his mouth was duct taped shut.Pain suddenly throbbed in his head. Sudden thoughts of panic began to rush through his head. The last thing he was doing was running around Boomtown trying not to die.. you know.. the usual. All of the sudden, a portal appeared in front of him. It was really weird. It had no blocks surrounding it. It was just.. there..

What else was he supposed to do than investigate? Apparently curiosity really does kill the cat. When he came out of the other end, he saw two people he wished he'd never see again grinning menacingly at him. They then smashed him on the side of the head with something. And now.. here he was.

He heard a mumble from the left. He turned his head and squinted in the dark to see Soren and Gabriel there. He raised his brow. Looks like I'm not the only one... Wait. Soren, Gabriel, and I... They were kidnapping all the members of the order of the stone! Who knows who else they already have! He suddenly imagined Olivia, scared and alone in a dark room. Not knowing what to do.. Anger bubbled inside of him. They'd better not do anything to her.. or anyone for that matter...

He struggled against the ropes. Determination caused him to unleash even more strength than he knew he had. His ropes tore right off and his arms were free! He did it! Soren and Gabriel both showed surprised expressions. He tore the duct tape off of his mouth and swiftly went in their direction. He tore the ropes off of their wrists and they took the duct tape off.

"Ouch! There goes my mustache." Soren mumbled. He turned to Axel, "Thank you so much, friend. How can we ever repay you?"

Gabriel nodded in agreement as he tore the duct tape off himself as well. He grumbled and then said, "Yes, thank you."

"Let's get out of here before we get caught." Axel whispered. 

"And how exactly will we know where to go?" Soren asked.

Gabriel shrugged, "Let's just look for an exit I guess. That's pretty much all we can do without a map or anything.

Axel shook his head, "I'm pretty sure some of the others are kidnapped too, we have to save them first!"

Gabriel nodded, "I see what you mean. I think they're kidnapping both of the Orders of The Stone."

Axel turned towards the wall and began to feel for a door, "Less talk, more escaping."

"I found a door!" Soren whispered excitedly. The others hurried to him. Hadrian and Mevia mustn't have expected them to get loose, for they left the door unlocked. They snuck out just to see a long hallway spiralling in two different directions. They decided to stick together. They started by going right. They opened the door to see two figures jump at the sudden light. They stepped inside and saw Jesse, Harper, and Otto dangling by their hands. They were a foot above the ground and their hands were tied to ropes above their heads. They definitely had it worse than Axel, Soren, and Gabriel did.

Axel quickly rushed to Jesse's side and began to mess with the ropes. Gabriel grabbed onto her sides so that she wouldn't drop when she was loose. Once Axel was done, Gabriel lowered her to the floor. She tore the tape off of her mouth and hugged her friends, "Thank you so much! How did you find us?"

Gabriel grabbed onto Harper as Axel undid the ropes, "I'll explain later. For now, we just need to get you guys out of here."

"Better luck next time tough guy." 

Everyone turned to see who said it and their hearts dropped to see Mevia standing there, "You aren't getting out of here anytime soon."
