"What's that?" Patrick asked, pointing to a rock.
This was the rock Kate and Serina had found earlier, that stood out of the ground, and looked like a door.
"It sure is strange," said James.
"Is it possible that your teammates went through this door?" Jessica asked Alan.
"I suppose," Alan answered.
James opened the door, and said, "I don't think they went in here."
"Why not?" returned Jessica.
"There's nothing here."
Patrick took a peek. "There is something," he said, "but it's hard to focus on it."
"It's stairs!" Alan gasped.
The four of them went down the stairs, but came to a dead end. They turned to go out, but couldn't see. The door had shut, taking away their only source of light.
Alan quickly pulled out a flashlight from his back pack.
The small party of explorers started to search for a way out.
Meanwhile, Serina and Kate made their way to the castle, that the other team had found before. They sought the exit, but something unexpected happened.
As the two of them were walking, Kate noticed that Serina was very quiet.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
There was no answer.
Kate looked to her left, but Serina was not there. She turned to her right, but she was alone.
"Serina!" Kate exclaimed.
Serina had disappeared.
Kate continued walking, hoping she would find her friend.
As she walked through the castle, she saw that she was still below ground. Then she heard noises.
"Serina?" She said.
More noises sounded, and it was not Serina. Creatures came out of the shadows, from all directions.
Kate held up her sword in defense, as she backed into a corner.
She seemed trapped, and these creatures were not friendly.
She looked in all directions for an escape, and realized she was standing on Jell-o-ello. She looked up, to see a shaft leading straight to the surface.
She waved to the creatures, and jumped as hard as she could on the Jell-o-ello. She went flying to the top, and landed gracefully above.
The creatures did not know how to do the same, but they were learning.
Kate quickly looked for a way to stop these creatures. She saw Serina run from the castle, she had found a way out. Kate then saw a pile of the explosive dust. She stuck her sword into it and ran away.
"Serina!" She called out.
"Kate!" Serina returned, "where were you?"
"Run! Run!" Kate shouted, "it's going to blow!"
"What?"
"Under here." Kate picked up a sheet of Neo.
Kate and Serina got under it, and the castle exploded!
"How much powder did you ignite?" Serina asked in surprise.
"A whole lot more than we tested."
Kate's sword came flying from the fire, being propelled from the explosion, and landed right beside Kate and Serina.
"That sword is indestructible!" Serina exclaimed.
"Another souvenir," said Kate.
"Another?" Serina asked.
"Come on, we have to find Alan," Kate said, as she helped her friend to her feet.
"What was that?!" Alan asked in surprise after the explosion.
The ground shook, and dirt fell on their heads, as Alan and the other team were still under ground.
"AAH! We have got to find a way out of here!" Patrick exclaimed as he frantically searched for anything that might lead to an exit.
"Calm down, Patrick," James comforted as he put his hand on Patrick's shoulder, "panicking is not going to help."
"What's this?" Patrick said. He found an electrical panel in the wall of the tunnel. He began to work on it, and the door up top opened.
Alan and the team came to the surface, and saw smoke coming from the direction of the castle.
They ran towards it, and met up with Serina and Kate.
"What happened?" Alan asked.
"All sorts of crazy things," Kate answered, "who are your new friends?"
Alan introduced everyone to each other, and then they each told what had transpired on the island.
"All I know is, God has kept us safe through this whole trip," Serina summed up.
"Amen to that," James returned, "but I think we need to speak with our employers."
So the teams made their way back to base.
