Monster World Chapter 10 Escape from stripes' castle

Striker, ziran, boa, sarah and chameleon are inside stripes' castle surrounded by several shadow warriors. They all were trying to think of a way to get the heck out of stripes' castle. Stripes was ready to steal all of their strength but he was going to let his soldiers have some fun first. Ok, if anyone has a plan, im all ears. Chameleon said, knowing that he was out of ammo for the dart gun. I don't have one, do you have one boa? Ziran asked. I wish I did. Boa spoke with a sense of fear. Sarah heard boa's words and then she got an idea and it involved her locket. I got an idea. Sarah said in a happy tone. You do? tell us! Striker demanded in a nervous tone. Simple, im going to make a wish. She said. What?! They all screamed. The soldiers were coming towards them and those five were surrounded.A wish? how is a wish going to save us? Ziran asked in a angry tone. Just watch this! I wish the scary shadow warriors would take a nap. Sarah called out. Stripes heard sarah's wish and said; A wish? What good will that do you? As he asked, something was happening. Sarah's locket glowed again and everyone saw it. Stripes' soldiers were about to attack when suddenly a feeling of sleep came over them and they all stopped. What are you all waiting for? Destroy them! Stripes yelled at his minions but they weren't listening. Instead, they all layed down to take a nap. No way. Striker said. How did you do that? Ziran and boa asked. I'll tell you guys later. Now let's get out of here! Sarah screamed.

They all ran out of the door searching for the exit. They found only an open window in the hallway. Boa looked out and saw that they were on the third floor of a four story castle made out of stone bricks. Do you see a way out? Striker asked. No, but I do see a draw bridge but it's cranked up and I don't think jumping out the window will work either. Boa said, staring down at the empty moat surrounding the castle. The how are we going to get out of here? Sarah asked them. I don't see how, we're stuck in a stone castle with a ghost chasing us. Ziran nervously said. Keep your gloves on! I can get us out. Chameleon said with a calm and collected tone. You can? Tell us please! Striker asked. I have a grapling hook and a cable with me. I can use my cable shooter to lach on to that tree down there and we can use these to get out of here. Chameleon explained his plan as best he could. Sounds like a good plan to me. Boa said. Chameleon pulled out his cable gun and carefully aimed it at the tree and as luck would have it, the cable hook snagged onto the tree.

Chameleon then fastened the grapling hooks onto the cable. Okay, I have enough hooks for all of us and we better do this quickly. Chameleon said. Wow, thanks a lot chameleon. Sarah said. well don't get use to it! once we're out of here, im coming after you four. Chameleon said in a serious tone. He's only helping them to get out of that castle and so he can learn all of their fighting moves. I'll go first to see if it's safe. Boa volunteered because he didn't trust chameleon very much. Alright, just remember to hold on to the hook . Chameleon told him. Boa grabbed on to the hook and soared out the window and landed by the tree. Ziran went next and he landed safely outside even though his grip dented the hook. Ok, it's my turn. Striker said. Okay princess, it's your turn. Chameleon said, giving sarah a pet name. Uh, okay. Sarah said, blushing a bit. They had to get out now because stripes decided to go after the young heroes by himself.

Sarah made it out but she nearly lost her balance and fell but striker caught her. Don't worry sarah I got you. Striker said. Sarah looked up at striker and blushed. T-Thanks for catching me. That was close now where's chameleon? Ziran asked. Yeah he should've got down here by now. Boa said, he almost forgot about that hunter. Im right here. Chameleon said, standing by the tree. He cut the cable wire in order to keep the shadow warriors from following them. Now how was it that you were able to wish for those things to fall asleep? He asked. I've been wondering the same thing. Striker said as he let sarah down, onto her feet.

They all focused their attention on her and waited for an answer. Well I was able to wish for it becasue of my magic locket. She said, looking at her necklace. I thought so. When I first saw you, that locket glimmered and I felt a sudden desire to reveil myself to you. Chameleon said. All I did was wish to know what your people looked like and there you were. She told him. I've heard of special items that can grant peoples' greatest desires but i've never seen one before. Where did you get this locket? Boa asked in curiousity. Well guys, I got it threes year ago from my sister as a birthday present. She told me it could grant wishes but I didn't think it could really do all this. She told them truthfully. Well it sure has granted all of your wishes so far. Ziran said, stating the odvious. How many wishes have you wished for anyway? Striker asked. I've made about five wishes.First I wished for something exciting to happen and now im here, then i wanted to win a match between you three. I even wanted to help you guys beat up those monsters. Sarah explained in detail. Thats alot of wishes for one girl. Chameleon said. Hey, what about that promise you made earlier? You said if sarah beat you, we could go free. Ziran said. I did say that and if it weren't for that interuption, you would've won. Chameleon told them. Really? I would've won? She asked with some excitement in her voice. Yes but im not going to hand over my fragment. (If the elfs fragment could protect him then mine probably has alot of power in it) Chameleon said. Ok but I think we stayed here long enough. Sarah said, wondering where stripes' ghost was.

Unbeknownest to them, stripes was watching them from the third floor window. He wanted to follow them but he couldn't leave the castle yet. So they made it out. No matter, I can still track them from in here. Stripes said to himself. (They may have destroyed one jar but I have four other jars that contain their energy and that girl may have put my soldiers to sleep but it wont work again. My next batch of soldiers will be stronger then the last.) Stripes thought, looking at the jars with a look of evil satisfaction.

Back at the old tree, sarah and the gang were getting ready to teleport out of there. Okay sarah, get us out of here! Striker said. Can do. I wish we were back at chameleon's house. And with that, they were warped away from stripes' castle and they appearded outside of chameleon's home. Why did you bring us back here? Ziran asked. I thought it would be fair for chameleon if we came here first. Sarah said even though she wasn't sure if she could trust him yet. Chameleon on the other hand was touched by sarah's kindness and said; Thank you, for prey your very kind. You're welcome anytime chameleon. Sarah spoke in a friendly tone that would make anyone calm and happy.

Chameleon's home was a wreck inside. There were hunting gagets scattered all over the floor and his wall had a huge hole in it. Chameleon's mind was full of anger, for dozens of black armored creatures had destroyed his home. His blood boiled even more knowing he had to clean up this unsitely mess. Man, those things did alot of damage to your house. Ziran said, gazing upon the damage that the shadow warriors left behind. Yeah, don't remind me! Chameleon said, annoyed by ziran's observation. Chameleon had never seen creatures like them before. Nomatter how many times he knocked them down, they kept getting back up. Sarah was as interesting as those shadow warriors. She was able to handle him in a one on one fight. What was even more surprising is that sarah was getting stronger as time went on. Chameleon's thoughts were interupted by sarah who wanted to help chameleon with his home damage. Hey chameleon. She said in order to catch his attention. Hmm? What do you want? He asked. Let us help you clean up this mess. We're the reason those things showed up. Sarah said to him wih a feeling of guilt over the damage.

Striker, ziran and boa thought that sarah had lost her mind. She was kidnapped by that wacko hunter and now she wants to help him. Thanks but I can handle this mess by myself. He said but sarah insisted on helping him. Striker wondered what their enemy was up planning to do next and how would they be able to stop them from taking what they want, and how would they be able to get chameleon's sword fragment? Speaking of chameleon, he was still arguing with sarah. It's not that bad, considering I can get this mess cleaned up. Besides I told you that our little team up is over and im going to catch the four of you when im done with this. Chameleon spoke with a sense of determination in his voice and it was clear to see in his face too. Alright, have it your way. But thanks for helping us. She said in a kind voice.

Chameleon wouldn't understand what kindness is since hunters aren't very social, but he knew how to respond to that. You're welcome. Alright guys, since we can't get the wind fragment, we'll look for the next closest fragment. Striker said. They all went looking and chameleon looked at them and scanned their status one more time. The scanner showed him that their exp went up by 20 points. If there's one thing I should tell you is that chameleon has 800 points. Chameleon called up his father to send a clean up crew to help him clean his house up.

While chameleon was making some home repairs and striker, ziran, boa and sarah were looking for another sword fragment. Stripes was searching his castle corridors for any shadow warrior statues he might've missed when he created the first batch. I know they're in this castle somewhere. My loyal shadow warriors aren't limited to just those shadow blades. Stripes searched the hallways for a short while until he found what he was looking for. Ahh, there you are my mighty shadow dragons. Stripes said aloud. He had found six statues that looked like hunters in black armor and they had masks that made them look like dragons but with big muscles and wings. (I hope you six had a good rest because it's time for you beasts to awaken). Stripes thought followed by a sinister laugh that could creep out anyone good or evil.
