They all ran in. "Cleavers, split up and look for Valkyrie." Ordered Ravel.
Skulduggery, Ghastly and Ravel walked down the corridors and they turned left, then a right. "How will we find our way back? its like a maze in here." asked Ravel.
"I'll find a way." Answered Skulduggery.
"Wait, why didn't you just came here by yourself? Wouldn't it be quicker??"
"Well Ghastly," said Skulduggery," you still haven't released me from the........."
Skulduggery was cut of by a distant scream. It was Valkyrie and all three of them started sprinting down the hall.
After 3 mins of sprinting, they arrived at a junction.
"Which way?" Panted Ravel
Skulduggery flexed his fingers to read the air."This way." He pointed left so they started sprinting again.
Another scream. It was getting louder.
In about 1 mins, they reached a room and peered in it and saw Valkyrie sitting on a chair, chains tyed around her and there was two fresh cuts on her cheek. There was dozens of other cuts around her upper body. Her body under the hip was completely ruined. It was bleeding really badly and there was also some yellow goo gushing out. Even Ghastly's clothes can not protect her. There's a huge cut from Valkyrie's side all the way to her stomach and there is already a pool of blood on the floor. Blood still dripping from her wound. Then a figure stepped in front of Valkyrie. It was Valick.
"Tell me the secret or I'll....." Valick threatens.
"Nev...er..." answered Valkyrie shakily
"Well then, little girl, guess we'll have to see the painful and hard way. It's your choice." tuts Valick
"Don..'t......ca..ll.....me....a..li...ttle....girl"
"Shut up" Glared Valick and she whipped her hand. A new long cut made it's way to her forehead and opened it up painfully and slowly.
"Aaarrrrgggghhhh" screamed Valkyrie.
Even from a distant, Skulduggery could see the flash of white which is the skull.
"Come on! Hurry up!!" Ushered Skulduggery.
They all burst into the room.
Valkyrie could hardly lift up her head to see who is at the door.
"Ah, I see. It's the famous Skulduggery Pleasant and his scarred friend and a....." Valick looked up and down at Ravel. "And......you" Valick said disgustedly.
"Hey!"
"Oh shut up!"
"Make me!"
"Oh the both of you, shut up!" Interrupted Skulduggery. "Our main priority is to rescue Valkyrie."
"Oh you think you can just take Valkyrie from me and I'll let you walk out of here like a king?"
"Um..... Actually yeah." Nodded Skulduggery.
"Oh, don't be silly. We are going to stop you from going out of here. It's a mistake to be here because this is the end of you. Does any of you have anything to say?"
"Yes in fact." Said Ghastly . "We never said that we came alone. Cleavers, ATTACK!!!!"
The floor rumbled, the ceiling shook and the door burst off it's hinges, then it slammed into Valick.
She flipped over the dusty desk and she knocked her head on the edge. Valick raged in fury. She ran forward, kicked the first cleaver in the stomach, punched the second on the ribs. Everyone in the room heard the bone break. The cleaver doubled over and Valick kneed him on the chin. He blacked out before he hit the floor. She batted the third one away. Some of the cleavers were freeing Valkyrie from the chains. They carefully lifted Valkyrie out of it, and run out of the room. Ghastly followed them out.
Skulduggery and Ravel took either side of Valick and they walked around in a circle. Valick was looking both sides to make sure that they were not going to attack. Skulduggery striked first. He lifted his hand and in a blur, his old fashioned revolver flew to his hand, aiming directly at Valick. She froze.
"Give up Valick. This is your only chance. Come with us and we won't hurt you."
"You think that'll just follow you out nicely?" Sneered Valick.
"Yes. But with these beautiful hand cuffs on." Skulduggery held the hand cuffs up in his other hand and dangled it.
"Come on Valick. Skulduggery is offering you a peaceful way out." Growled Ravel
"Me? Going with you guys? Haha" Valick threw her head back and laughs. "I have a reputation to keep up here and I will NOT go out with you guys. So I'll see you soon! Cheerio!!!"
And with that, Valick did a mid flip and disappeared through the door. Skulduggery and Ravel tried to stop her, but she disappeared. Skulduggery scowled "Dammit! We lost her! We should go back now with Valkyrie."
"Yes, we should." Agreed Ravel.
Then, just as they were walking out the door, a part of the walls shifted and an army of Macaleen Mans came tumbling out.
"So that's what the surprise is I was wondering what." Mumbled Ravel
"Same here. This is turning out into a mission impossible. Kind of." Skulduggery mumbled back.
Ravel and Skulduggery stood back to back while the Macaleen Mans rounded in stiffly. The first Macaleen Man reached Ravel and he broke his neck with a twist. Another one replaced him before he had been separated. The Macaleen Mans attacked as one, big, stiff, and easy to break team. Ravel and Skulduggery finished them all in half an hour. The room was filled with bile and gas smell.
"We need to go back and check on Valkyrie." Said Skulduggery.
"Yes, of course." Panted Ravel, still exhausted from the fight.
They walked out of the College and into the Bentley, and drive off.
