To the rescue

It was such a painful experience to just be dumped down like a piece of trash. I could barely move, and Emma, Veronica, and Desmond went to the labyrinth, and as I watched, Desmond fainted as he entered underwater.

I saw Maxwell jumping down into the labyrinth, and I knew I have to do something because he is formidable, even for Emma and Veronica. But I feel so weak that I could barely stand.

Just then, Emma ran towards me, picked me up and ran away from Maxwell, while Veronica is fighting Maxwell. I kept moaning: "Food.... Water..."

"Just be quiet and sleep!" Emma told me. She continued to carry me, while using her earth powers to fend off Maxwell as Maxwell uses his wind powers to come after me and Emma.

Luckily, we met up with Veronica and we both rushed towards the escape. There's about 2 people missing, and that is Jack Robson and JT Ronaldson. We need to find them as we escape this labyrinth, and into the real dimension.

Anyways, I continued to look around, and still there's no light. I prayed so that I would reach a place where there's light, and then I could regenerate. I drooled from my mouth, as Emma continued to run the labyrinth. Then, we reached where it's light. Light! Finally! But our excitement was cut short when Drake and Maxwell.

"Going somewhere?" Maxwell asked, as he and Drake had both JT and Jack as their prisoners.

"You won't be going anywhere for now, sweetheart." Drake said to Veronica. Veronica spat at him. "Ooh... that's harsh." Drake just waved her away and went to Emman, who's carrying me in her arms.

"Well well, if it isn't Emma and poor Josh." Maxwell said, as he approached my face. "Hello, Josh! Good day to faint? Er.... I mean.. die?"

I simply glared at him. Desmond had just gone conscious and is gasping and sputtering, since he probably drank some water.

"Now, where are you all going?" Maxwell said mockingly.

"We're going to kick your ass!" Veronica said, as she quickly punches Maxwell in the head. Maxwell apparently didn't have time to dodge since her punch is very fast and swift. Maxwell fell down on the floor and Drake stepped up.

"You! How dare you!" Drake yelled.
