Cherry on the Island of Lost Dreams

chapter 6

"Kimba, before you go, please do me a favor." Atticus said.

"What do you require?" Kimba asked.

"When you take Cherry home, bring back the enchanted mirror so I can see how she's doing." Atticus pleaded.

"I will." Kimba nodded.

"Thank you, Kimba," Atticus replied. "You're a good friend."

Kimba nodded and soon rode off to take Cherry somewhere safe since she was getting more and more sick as time went on. One had to wonder what was going through her head right now, and where they would have to find out later on. Atticus soon went out with the others to go into the pit like Dr. Romero told them to.

Once they got there, they found a bunch of magnets.

"How does it work?" Juni asked.

Patch simply shrugged.

"Supposedly, they run magnetically," Carmen informed. "We should be able to ride over a determined path."

"Great." Atticus said.

Kimba soon came back to Atticus with the mirror.

"Thanks, Kimba." Atticus said, taking the mirror before putting in his backpack for safekeeping until he would need it.

"Be sure not one of those magnets is left behind, you have two certain followers hiding." Kimba whispered to him.

"Because the magnets would repel each other?" Atticus guessed.

"Because they'll continue following." Kimba said.

"All right," Atticus replied. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Hopefully the others listen to me."

"I'm sure they will." Kimba said.

"Come on, guys, time to go." Atticus told the others.

They soon got ready to go on the magnets and began to travel on them, almost like surfboards, and where Atticus made sure there weren't any magnets left.

"This is cool!" Juni smiled.

"Reminds me almost of when me and Ferb invented S'Winter." Phineas smiled back.

"It does with me too." Ferb added in agreement.

"S'Winter?" Juni asked.

"Long story." Phineas and Ferb replied.

"Alright, that's the last one." Atticus said, referring to the magnets. He got hit by something before looking around and saw that they were no longer alone.

They were shown Slizzards who had found them.

"Well, at least these guys aren't so big." Atticus said.

"They seem to be unbeatable though! I'm scared!" Isabella yelped from the Slizzards.

"Don't worry, they're just normal-sized lizard hybrids while the bigger ones we'd actually have to worry about." Atticus told her.

"You think so?" Isabella shivered.

"I know so, even if they do bite us, the bigger one would possibly do worse." Atticus said.

Isabella still felt nervous.

"It's going to be okay, Isabella," Phineas said to the black-haired girl. "If Atticus says so, then it must be so."

A few more landed on their steering magnets.

"Really?" Atticus asked, unimpressed.

Perry and Patch glared. Pinky even joined them and they decided to help take care of some Slizzards, especially since Isabella felt scared. Once all of the small Slizzards were taken care of, it was smooth sailing from there, except when the magnets started to act funny.
