As JaniceFerSure, TuttertheMouse, Gonzo and Link were led to the light, the batting of wings grew louder. Beads of sweat formed on JaniceFerSure's forehead.
"I don't think this is going to be too fabulous..." TuttertheMouse rasped.
"Don't worry, our friends will find us," JaniceFerSure replied, channeling all the Princess Leian courage she could muster.
The Snidley hologram led the group to an open doorway and silently motioned for them to enter. Hanging their heads, the foursome went in feeling awfully dreadful. Inside the doorway, the group had entered a large, well-lit arena. (I just realized that this has all become very Phantom Menace...sorry)
Inside the arena was a large tub of purple liquid. The Spyware hologram motioned for the group to step into the goo. Gonzo, in classic form, jumped in head first only to bounce on his head.
"Hey!' he cried. "This liquid is solid!"
Link tested the surface and stepped onto the pool of solid liquid. JaniceFerSure followed and then TuttertheMouse. They looked behind them for further instruction from Snidley.
"And now, I take my leave of you. My real self will be by shortly to see how you are faring. I'm also dimming the lights. Tah!" With that, the hologram fizzled out and the four prisoners were alone in a fairly dark place.
"Well, what now?" JaniceFerSure inquired.
"I don't know, but that wing sound is really irritating," TuttertheMouse replied.
"It's got a nice ring to it," Gonzo added. The group just looked at him.
"You'd think by the sound of it that those winged creatures would be right above us," Link commented while looking upward. "There's nothing up there."
JaniceFerSure looked around, and then below. What she saw made her heart sink.
"The creatures aren't above us, Link. They're directly below us!"
The group looked down and saw an army of winged creatures swimming below, flapping their wings and glaring menacingly upward. When the group had made eye contact, the creatures made their move. They shot upward and burst through the goo's surface. The foursome screamed as the creatures flew up and around them, surrounding them and buzzing eerily.
"This is it!" Link cried and collapsed into a fetal position.
JaniceFerSure and TuttertheMouse watched helplessly as the creatures closed in.
Suddenly, JaniceFerSure was yanked by the arm. She screamed as she was quickly hoisted upwards onto a hairy beast.
"It's okay," said a friendly voice. "It's me, Christyb."
"Oh thank God!" JaniceFerSure exclaimed. "But we've got to get the others!"
Christyb swung Horse around and went after Link, Gonzo and TuttertheMouse. Christyb and JaniceFerSure managed to swoop the three up from danger just as the winged creatures had gone for the attack. Horse, with his five passengers, bolted for the exit with the creatures in hot pursuit. Christyb kept her eyes forward and noticed that the exit door appeared to be closing.
"We may not make it, the door's closing!" she cried.
JaniceFerSure looked ahead.
"That's not a door, that's a person!"
Christyb looked closer and saw that it was Snidley Spyware guarding the door.
"Don't stop, Horse!" Christyb declared. "Run him over!"
Horse kicked it into high gear and gunned right for Snidley, who just stood there smiling. As Horse and his five passengers approached, they braced themselves for impact. However, as they closed in on Snidley, there was no impact. They went right through him.
"Another hologram," JaniceFerSure pointed out.
"But at least we're free," TuttertheMouse added.
In the emotional moments that followed, everyone was too elated and grateful to even speak.
