"I can find him." Thorn said.
"What?!" Nails exclaimed.
"I have the key to enter the Netherworld. According to the news, the Blue Ridge Zone just became a portal into it." Thorn said.
"I bet Nightshade had something to do with it..." Kyle said.
"All those people..." Rose said, sadly.
"You can do it Thorn." Honey encouraged her.
"I can get us to the portal." Nails said.
"How?" Thorn asked.
"I've got some connections," she replied.
Rose was walking near Casinopolis when she was Honey. They exchanged stories, and Rose's parents allowed her to stay with Honey, Kyle, and Thorn.
Meanwhile, Thorn was putting supplies in her backpack when Kyle walked up to her.
"Hey Kyle." Thorn said.
"H-hi Thorn. I-I wish you didn't have to go in there by yourself." Kyle said.
"I'll be fine. Trust me."
"I do...it's just..." he began.
"I couldn't bear it if you died."
Thorn smiled.
"We'll talk some more when I get back, okay?"
"Okay...but first..." Kyle leaned in to kiss Thorn.
"I'm...I'm sorry..." she said. "I just can't do this right now."
As she walked away, Kyle yelled. "Why am I so stupid?!"
A helicoptor for the Central City News Station flew down on the launch pad.
"This is your connection?" Honey asked.
"Yup." Nails replied.
Thorn walked up to Rose, Honey, and Nails.
"You okay?" Rose asked, worried.
"I-I'm fine." Thorn told them.
"Are you ready?" Nails asked.
"Yes." Thorn said.
"Be careful." Honey said.
Honey gave her a pat on the back, and Rose hugged her.
"You can do it." Rose told her.
Thorn and Nails got on the helicoptor.
"Nails! It's been too long!" a cream-colored cat exclaimed.
"Hey Felicity. It's been a while." Nails said.
"So, we're going to the Blue Ridge Zone, right?" Felicity asked.
"Yes." Nails confirmed.
"Good, 'cause my editor has been all over me for a new story." Felicity said.
In a few hours, the helicoptor flew close to the portal.
"Are you absolutely sure?" Nails asked.
"Positive." Thorn said. "We need to find Midnight, and if the only way is by talking to her brother, then so be it."
Nails and Felicity helped Thorn into a parachute.
"I'm not sure what it's like in there, so be careful." Nails warned.
"Wish me luck." Thorn said.
The helicoptor doors opened, and Thorn jumped out. She pulled on her parachute, and fell towards the portal. The charm glowed an intense purple, and Thorn emanated a purple aura. Flashes of light bombarded her vision. She had to close her eyes.
When she opened them again, she was in an unfamiliar world. The Netherworld was a barren land, full of dead trees and bushes. The sky was perpetually black and gray, with lightning constantly striking. There was no sun in the sky, only a black moon. Fields of dead grass and plains sprawled across the landscape.
Numerous souls of the undead waded past her, on their way to a malevolent looking archway.
"Noon...where are you?" Thorn asked.
"You must go through the Gates."
"What gates?"
"The Gates of Hell."
Beyond the archway, Thorn could make out a crumbling castle in the distance. It appeared as though gates were protecting the castle.
"If Noon's there, then..." Thorn said.
"Gates of Hell, here I come."Category:Sub-pages
