Science Battle Chapter 6
He used a lightening spell and the person let go of him with a harsh yell. But then two more people grabbed him with two hands on both his legs, and they pulled him the rest of the way. They tied his mouth, then they went and got Blockhead and Battle but they couldn’t do anything because they came from the other side and sneaked around them. When they were all in the darkness then and all tied up, Kasistra and Ideas were there hiding in the darkness and Battle could see them but he did not know who they were. They saw Blockhead was injured and couldn’t give them much answers, so they asked Battle what he was doing there. They did not know him either. But all Battle did was just mumbled because he had a scarf over his mouth. They took it off, then asked him again, “What are you doing here?” He responded, “We are just trying to find the power stone.” They said, “How come you know Blockhead?” And Battle responded, “We found him lying on the ground earlier. He’s my second brother.” The asked him his name, and he said, “My name’s Swords, but people call me Battle.”
Kasistra and Ideas moved back because they were so surprised that that was their fourth brother. Once they were done being stunned by him being their fourth brother, they released them. Then they asked, “Who’s that last guy over there mumbling to get out?” “Oh he?” said Battle, “He’s my friend Science that was with me before we come into the temple. What kind of rope is this that you used to tie us? Some kind of special material that no one can break through?” Their answer was, “Titanium metal, special by the only makers, The Metal Team,” Kasistra said. “I believe you’ve never heard of them, Battle?” Battle responded, “I’ve heard of this rope somewhere, but I can’t quite remember it. What is its special ability, again?” Ideas came up and said before Kasistra got to say anything, “This rope’s special ability is to not allow anyone strong like you to escape.”
Battle then said, “Ah, I remember. Thank you for giving me a little tip.” Then Battle said, “What is your name again?” And Ideas said, “My name’s Ideas, remember?” Then Kasistra said, “We got left here by Stoner because those birds out there came to try and take us out, but Stoner made this secret hiding place for us to hide in so they wouldn’t get us.” Blockhead said, “I call them Kadunos.” Ideas said, “Interesting name. Stoner got left behind not managing to get in quick enough. So those birds you call Kadunos, they got him before he managed to bring out his Magic War Mace.” Kasistra said, “They took him there and prepared him for a giant feast.” Then Battle said, “I’m not going to stay here and wait ’til he is dead. I’m going to go and take those Kadunos on for a challenge for his life.”
Kasistra and Ideas plus Science and Blockhead were all stunned, staring at Battle. One by one they each said, “All right then. I guess I will come with you.” Battle’s response was nothing, just a clear silence, and he moved forward directly to the Kadunos’ hideout.
