Chapter 17 - Chapter Seventeen

Ethan shot several ice spike and the ghost and they shrieked as hole filled their bodies. The roller coaster final circle and descended down. Ethan quickly grabbed a railing and transformed in a mantis.

The ride swayed left and right as Ethan quickly advanced over the peoples heads. The coaster curved down and flipped upside down. The mantis gripped on the ride strongly and propelled himself toward a big mouthed ghost ahead.

He coated his front limbs in ice and sliced the specter. The ride came down, Ethan grabbed on it as they entered a tunnel and came to a stop.

"That was great!" Dax smiled

Madison asked Ethan, "Why didn't your Faction members help you?"

"I didn't need help." Ethan answered before joining his Faction

Madison watched Noah try and grabbed Ethan. The mantis quickly equipped a spear and pointed it at his neck but the bear just laughed. Xavier ruffled her hair and smiled at her.

"Different Faction have their own way of doing things." Xavier smiled

Maxwell frowned, "Theirs isn't in line with ours."

"Wonderland! Hurry up, we don't have all day." Noah shouted

They rushed after the group.

Fey commented, "They live fast paced...it's an interesting experience. I can see why you like them."

Dax opened the brochure to the other members and the looked at it seriously and the Wonderland members wondered what on earth they were doing.

"I busted the teacup, you can ride it Quill." Ethan laughed

Quill retorted, "I wasn't going to chose the teacups! I want to go on the bumper cars."

They clapped for him with sarcastic smile which only made Quill fume.

Ethan said, "Anyway, there's no way we'll escape over the fence. I saw a horde of monsters while the ride flicked me around."

"So we'll need to find an exit thy aren't guarding so intensely." Blake though looking at the brochure "We'll check out the bumper car side and let Quill enjoy himself. Win-win."

They looked at Quill with looks asking if he wanted to reverse his statement. Quill puffed out his chest and started walking to the ride while ignoring his team mates laughter.

"You had time to check that?" a Wonderland member, Blitz frowned

Blake smiled, "We do want first place."

"You could communicate more with us." Fey asked

Noah nodded, "True. But how do we explain it?"

[ REDS44: It wonderful how their Faction just sorta get each other.

CrazedFan: After everything they've been through if they didn't there's a problem!!!]

Blake told, "We'll get out the usual exit points listed on the map, the level of guard and brain storm. That's about it...I think."

"So you didn't have to get on the roller coaster?" Madison frowned

Noah smiled, "Enjoy yourself, this is our life now so at least it's not boring."

They turned around a chuckled at Quill struggling with the bumper car. Blake lift tossed him in and explained the basics which made him gasp in wonder.

"You used carriages where you're from, don't you?" Dax wondered

Quill looked away, "I prefer horses."

"It's never too late to learn something new." Atlas told

The Crazed members each entered a bumper car and after several minutes Quill was able to start the car. They joked comparing him to a baby deer and drove around him taking turns bumping into him.

"LET ME GET THE HANG OF IT!!" Quill yelled

Ethan answered, "The challenge will end soon. So you must learn now."

"Come on prove us wrong." Blake smirked

Xavier stopped one of his member that we about to say anything. He had a hint of worry hoping he was wrong about is intention.

"Just wondering what were you about to do?" Xavier smiled

She answered, "Join them."

"Don't. They won't be kind if we mess with their youngest." Xavier told

A voice yelled, "OPEN THE DOOR!!"

Blitz opened the door of the bumper car enclosure. Six cars sped past them and they saw a dozen tigers climb down from the nearby fence. The Wonderland group ran after the bumper cars quickly.

"WE'RE TAKING A LEFT! HEADING TO THE HALL OF MIRRORS!!" Blake shouted

The cars turned and revealed three large werewolves that have lost reason and foaming from their mouths. Red bloodshot eyes eyed them as sped up and made the sharp left. Dax in front was looking at the map again.

"My bad...it's the other side." Dax frowned slightly

Atlas grabbed the brochure and they curved into a U-turn. Blake looked at the Wonderland on their side as the stared back in bewilderment and anger.

Blake told, "There was trouble with the navigator."

Noah, Ethan and Dax bumped into the werewolves while the other three sped forward. Ethan's spear went through one's snout, Noah gripped another neck and Dax's scythe sliced the last one.

The trio quickly sped after the rest while the Wonderland members ran after them. They were an elite team ranked third among all Factions but the fast paced back and forth with rest was eating away at their stamina.

They found the bumper car abandoned and entered the building to find them waiting. They were looking at that damned brochure map again. Fey was tempted to ripe the cursed piece of paper.

"We passed the tower swing." Ethan told

Dax smiled, "We'll go back. I also want to try it."

"We'll head to the office on the way to the drop tower." Blake said

Quill frowned, "Time's ticking. The others might get it before us."

"Let's head to the office and make a game plan." Atlas suggested

Dax looked at a mirror and laughed at Atlas reflection. The man turned to see a purple skinned, large face looking back at him and he punched into the mirror.

A sharp scream shattered at the mirrors and monster with ghosts poured in. Blake made his sphere attack monster while Quill took care of the ghosts. Atlas and Dax complained about something on the brochure and finally reached an agreement.

The Crazed leader found a terminal box and broke it opened up. Dax wore googles, took out a toolkit from his storage and tinkered with the wires. Xavier sliced monster with his sword and Madison fired spells on the ghosts. Fey cast a barrier on the weaker members and supported the others with arrows.

The monster and ghosts flooded in from the mirrors endless and Blitz burning fists dealt killing blows but the exhaustion was visible on his face.

"DUCK!!" Dax yelled

The lights and other electronics burst loudly while flames spread around.
