Hellish Rage

The maze that was surrounding the lounge has vanished and Eliza placed the head of the Minoshroom, Veronica's painting was over above the trophy stand and next to Odette's.

"Why did I agree to come to this party?" Thiago asked.

"We should have all just stayed home," Jay said. Aria nodded.

"You guys... we have already lost two people more are going to die but that is what we have to do to escape this place," Moira said. Eliza and Indah agreed.

"You are right we have to get out of this place," Carlos said.

"But there are still six lieutenants we have to defeat... and there is eight of us meaning only two of us are going to get out of here," Aphrodite said.

"We can't give up now, remember the society against evil needs us to kill the sorceress," Moira said.

"What do we have to do now?" Jay asked Julia, she handed Jay a note he read it. "The next lieutenant is the mother ghast, to defeat her you have to get through her favorite thing, team challenges. you must go to the top of the mountain and find the four items on the other side of the battlefield you will pick your teams and the two team leaders are the people who have won the elimination challenges."

"Meaning... Jay you and I are the team leaders! who picks first?" Moira said.

"Umm... it says that the younger of us gets to pick first, how old are you?" Jay said.

"25, you?" Moira asked.

"I'm 25 too... uh when is your birthday?"

"February sixth."

"I'm April thirteenth."

"Well, then I guess you get to go first then... who do you choose?" Moira asked.

"My first choice is Aria," Jay said.

"I choose Elizabeth."

"Thiago."

"Aph."

"Indah."

"Well then Carlos you are over here," Moira said with a smile on her face.

"Ok, so we now have to go to the top of the mountain to Mother Ghast's battlefield?" Aria asked.

"Yeah," Carlos said. Everyone went to the top of the mountain and went to the middle of the battlefield and the two teams looked at each other a giant ghast floated overhead.

"Hello everyone," She said in a calm voice.

"I am the mother of all ghasts, I absolutely love team games, there are 4 items that each of your team has to find, a ruby, an emerald, a diamond, and an opal, there is one of each crystal on each side of the battlefield the other team has to go to the enemy side of the field and retrieve the gems bring them back to your box and place them inside. The gems will be all over this battlefield, do your best to beat the other team. Oh and if someone from the other team touches you while you are on their territory you will be removed from the game for a minute... good luck, and may the best team win." Everyone ran Aria and Indah stayed on their side to keep Moira's team from going to that side Moira and Elizabeth did the same thing, Jay bolted across the border and he saw the ruby he grabbed it immediately and booked it back over to his side of the field. He placed it in his box and he saw Carlos on his side, I ran over and tapped him on the back.

"Excuse you but I don't think you are supposed to be here," He said with a grin on his face, Carlos cursed and walked to the entrance of the battlefield, Eliza saw the opal in a tree she ran over and yanked it out Aria and Jay missed her. Eliza ran right back to her box and placed the opal in. Indah and Thiago both came running towards their side and Thiago was screaming he had a gem Moira and Eliza were chasing after him, and Indah tossed the diamond to Aria, she caught it and placed it in the box, Jay saw a box laying on the ground. Carlos was back in the game too but Thiago was out, Jay ran over to the box on the ground picked it up, and threw it on the ground it exploded into splinters and there wasn't a gem in it but a flower was.

"Jay! I see you have found the sunflower you need to find two more for the spell to work if I am not mistaken the next flower should be in the Phantom tombs," The Ghast said.

"Can you hold onto the flower for me!?" Jay shouted at her.

"Most certainly dear!" She responded. Jay tossed the sunflower and she caught it and held onto it for the rest of the game. Indah Climbed on top of the Gazebo on Moira's side and saw a green sparkly thing she grabbed it jumped down and ran back to the box, she also passed Moira's box and saw that Moira and Eliza found the Ruby and the Diamond they were just missing the emerald and her team was just missing the Opal.

"We need to find the Opal," Indah whispered to Aria. Aria noticed something white was on top of the arch at the entrance Indah ran over to Jay and told him about the Opal, Jay ran over to Thiago and told him about the Opal.

"Where the hell is this damn emerald!?" Aph said looking everywhere around Jay's side, Thiago ran over to the arch grabbed the opal and ran back to the box, he placed the opal in its spot and a chest popped open. Thiago ran over to it picked it up and read it. "Good job that was a magnificent game, your team is safe from the death challenge, but someone from the other team will die."

"Oh Jay by the way here is that sunflower!" The ghast said and she tossed down the sunflower, Jay caught it and everyone went back to the Lounge to discuss who to vote into the challenge.

"Everyone you know the drill, discuss amongst yourselves on who you want to vote into this challenge... but only Moira, Elizabeth, Aphrodite, and Carlos's names are on the table," Julia said.

"Well since we are safe... please tell us what you have done that contributed to us," Jayden said. Moira went first.

"Indah and I did find the red dye in the first challenge, and I also won the last death challenge if the rules weren't changed on us then Indah would be dead," Moira told everyone... Carlos spoke next.

"I found the ruby and saved Aria, she wouldn't be here right now if I hadn't found it," He said.

"True true... thank you for that by the way," Aria said. Elizabeth talked next.

"I found the Opal from the battlefield, and I also found the ruby. Oh and I also did most of the work to get two of the string, and I also didn't really do much in the last challenge since I got trapped," She said. Aphrodite was last.

"I know I didn't do much in this challenge, but I was the first out of the maze and I mastered that one glass maze that Thiago and I did, so if there are any more mazes you will surely need me," Aph told everyone.

"Well then... do we all know who we will are going to vote?" Jay asked. Moira, Indah, and Eliza nodded.

"Moira you are first." Moira voted Aphrodite, "Aria." She voted Aphrodite, "Jay." He voted Carlos, "Eliza." She voted Moira, "Indah." She voted Eliza, "Carlos." He voted Aphrodite, "Thiago." He voted Carlos, "And Aphrodite." She voted Moira. "I will now shuffle and draw two. The first person in the challenge is... Aphrodite."

"Woah... was not expecting that!" Indah said surprised.

"And the second person in the challenge is... Carlos." Carlos gasped.

"After I saved Aria... you don't think that is helpful!?" Carlos said in disbelief that his name got called.

"Well since the people have been called... please follow me," Julia said. They followed Julia back up to the mountain. Carlos and Aph had noticed that the field had changed a lot, it was split in two on both sides were a maze, three trivia questions, and a clue hunt to escape the battlefield, the other side would be filled with lava killing whoever was in it.

Carlos's POV: Aph and I looked at each other wished each other good luck and took off into the maze, I took a left, and then a right, and then two more lefts, and then after what felt like half an hour but was only five minutes, I finally found my way out of the maze. The first question of the trivia was... What was the first state, I knew that one, I clicked the button next to the door that said Delaware, it opened and I walked through, I look over and I notice Aph is stuck on this one, it was Which language has the most words. I looked at the questions and I didn't know which one to pick so I just went with my gut and choose English. The final question was the hardest of them all. How many rides were at Disney World, I had never been there in my life, so I had no clue Aph knew however so she went through that one really fast, so I just guessed the 53 I got it wrong and had to start all over I took the hallway back and answered all the questions right.

Aphrodite's POV: Carlos and I were looking at each other before we entered the field, he probably knew I would make it past the maze before him, and I was right it took me like two minutes to complete, the trivia was horrible, I knew the answer to the first question Which was the first state, Delaware, I opened the door and was sitting at the next question for like three whole minutes Carlos ended up catching up to me!! Which language has the most words, I answered Spanish got it wrong and had to go back to the beginning I answered Delaware and then English, the next was how many rides were at Disney World, I knew that with how many times I have been there, it was 46 I answered and ran into the clue hunt Carlos got that question wrong... thank god so I was ahead by a little bit, In the clue hunt room, there was a desert area, a snow area, a lake, a forest in the middle, and a little creek flowing around the forest, so I read the first clue. "The snow queen is the ruler of the Snowy forest." I ran over to the snowy area and grabbed the next clue "The sponge that I have used is as dry as a desert." I ran over to the dessert corner and Grabbed the clue stuck on the cactus.

No POV: Carlos was right behind Aph, Aph read the third clue and was confused with it. It was a riddle, "Give me food and I live, give me a drink and I die... what am I?" She read. Aph was guessing fire but there was no fire in the room she was in, but Carlos knew what it meant he ran over to the lake dived in, and grabbed the clue at the bottom, Aph then realized that she had to go to the lake she dived in and swam to the bottom grabbed the clue and swam back up. The last area was the forest, there was one tree and Aph climbed it she then saw a clue on one of the branches she swang over pushed it out and fell to the ground, Luckily the tree wasn't that tall, so she only might have gotten a bruise from that fall, she picked up the clue and read it, "The key to escaping the battlefield is in at the exit to the maze, Aph ran back through the trivia and ran to the exit of the maze at the top of one of the maze pillars was a key, Aph grabbed it and ran back to the door, She shoved the key in and the door opened.

"Sorry, Carlos!!" Aph yelled as she heard Carlos scream, from the heat of the lava pouring down on his side of the maze. The Mother Ghast floated down from above the trees.

"Good job dear!" She said, "Here is my trophy for competing in my challenges."

"Thank you... it was an honor playing for you," Aph said, "I am sad that Carlos had to die though."

"It was for a good reason, dear! You are one more lieutenant closer to escaping this forest," The ghast said.

"Goodbye, Mother!" Aph said as she was climbing back down the mountain. Aph went back to the Lounge with the trophy in her hand.

"Aph! You're back!" Aria said.

"And I will not leave without a fight," Aph said.

"Please do tell us what happened," Moira said.

"First Carlos and I had to go through a maze, I did that very easily, then we had to answer three trivia questions, I had one mishap, and the last thing we had to do was find clues leading us to the key to get out of the field... and I got this," Aph said holding up the Mother Ghast trophy.

"Ok then... let's go put it down," Moira said. Everyone went to the trophy room and Aph put the trophy down, Carlos's picture was above the trophy.
