Trapped

When the dust settled, the heroes saw Myra lying in a small crater which was made by the lightning bolt that killed the creature known as DoomStruck, the lightning personified. Catherine ran up to her. "Myra!" she shouted.

Myra didn't move. Catherine knelt next to her and felt her pulse. She took the recoil damage made by her attack. "She's alive" she told the other heroes. The tension in the air lifted. Daniel took a huge sigh of relief.

"But we're going to have to carry her, we don't have time for Harold and Catherine to heal. We have to get to the tower. "Ok, I'll make a bubble protector to carry Myra. I can make it using my water powers"

"And I'll carry Harold using...WIND" he said, laughing. "That's going to be a sight to see" said Dennis, imagining what it would look like.

So the heroes continued, Myra in a bubble and Harold floating beside them 'magically'

Not long after, they got an alert on the device Mrs Katrina gave them for occassional communication. Daniel got the device out of his backpack. The screen blacked out and Mrs Katrina's face appeared on the screen. "Hello, Daniel, hope you are doing well" she said with a smile.

"Yeah, we're doing fine" said Daniel, trying to keep the nervousness out of his voice. He looked at Myra and Harold. "Well I just wanted to tell you that the Dark Lord's presence is getting closer. I don't know where the Lord of Destruction dwells, but he is close"

Daniel nodded. He could feel the disturbing presence too, but he didn't tell this to his headmaster. How are the others?" she asked, breaking the silence. "They're doing well" said Daniel. "I'll give it to Catherine" he said, handing the device to Catherine.

Daniel looked at her. Hopefully, she heard the conversation between them. "Hey Catherine" said Mrs Katrina. "Hello, Mrs Katrina" Catherine replied, glaring at Daniel. She didn't know what to say. "I just wanted. to --- --- know-.." and the device blacked out. "Mrs Katrina" said Catherine, frowning.

The device suddenly electrocuted and Catherine dropped the device. It lit up and exploded. "What just happened?" shouted Dennis, seeing the destroyed device. "I'm not sure" said Catherine, still recovering from the small explosion.

Daniel heard a thud. Myra and Harold were on the floor. "What happened?" shouted Daniel. "I'm not sure" said Edger and Klara in unison. "We were using our powers to hold them up and it suddenly failed. Klara opened her palms and concentrated it on Myra.

"It's not working" she whispered. "What do you mean it's not working?" said Catherine. She tried her powers too but nothing happened. Soon, all the heroes were in panic. Daniel tried creating a shadow ball with his hands, but nothing happened.

Daniel felt drained and tired. He felt weak. "We don't have powers antmore" said Bonnie. "Is this what Mrs Katrina was warning us about?" said Catherine, staring at her hands. "This can't-"

Daniel was cut of by a laugh. It faded away leaving the heroes in complete silence. "What was that?" asked Edger. The ground shook and the heroes fell to the ground. "Earthquake" said Alicia, screaming. "No, it's not" said Daniel. He was right.

Huge slabs of rock lifted up from the ground, screeching as it did so. Daniel heard shouts from behind him. More and more rock formed around them in all directions. Slabs filled the sky, blocking out the sunlight and the room was soon illuminated by orange, yellow liquid. "Lava?" whispered Dennis. "How is that possible?"

Words were written across a slab of rock on the ground. Dennis illuminated the ground with fire. A few words were written on it.

"Escape"
