When he saw the clods of dirt with rocks intermixed in the soil, things began to come back to him. The Silver Sorceress had used her magic to cause him, Kelly, and Sammy to sink down into the earth until they all were totally submerged. If Kelly had not been quick on her feet, the three metahumans would undoubtedly have suffocated from being buried alive. However, Kelly was able to conjurer up a small mystic bubble that carved a small capsule where the young heroes could regroup. [color=khaki]“How are we going to get out of this?”[/color] Kelly asked as she focused on keeping the magical capsule from collapsing on itself. “Maybe we could tunnel our way out,” Sammy suggested. “Snakes [i]are[/i] quite good at that.” [color=khaki]“If I were to open up a small enough hole in the bubble for you to try that plan out, we would be overrun by the soil around us. We can’t take that risk.”[/color] [color=peru]“Then you need to teleport us back to the surface,”[/color] Zac told his girlfriend. [color=khaki]“But—we don’t know how far underground we are!”[/color] Kelly protested while she still concentrated on the bubble holding back the soil. [color=khaki]“If I lowball it, then we’ll be in the same pickle, but without the bubble. But if I overcompensate, we’ll be plunging to our deaths!”[/color] [color=peru]“I’m not science wiz,”[/color] Zac answered back, [color=peru]“but I doubt the oxygen down here will last for long, especially with the three of us.”[/color] Kelly paused and took a deep breath. She was going to need her full concentration to cast this spell lest something go wrong. She then closed her eyes and held out her arm. Zac and Sammy, in turn, reached out and placed a hand in Kelly’s palm. They could feel her hand shaking, revealing how much pressure was on Kelly’s shoulders to not screw the spell up. Zac suddenly felt a cold chill on his face. Since he was not stuck and drowning in hundreds of feet of soil, Zac knew that the teleportation spell must have worked. However, he soon knew that something was wrong. Due to the free-fall that he found himself in, Zac knew that Kelly must have overshot the appropriate altitude for them to safely land on the ground. A bright red light then enveloped Zac. Before he could figure out what was happening, Zac saw that he was now much closer to the ground than he had been a moment ago. He could not have fallen that far already. Yet at the same time, he was not falling as fast as someone who had been dropped form the sky. Although he crashed down on the ground, the impact did not break any bones. It just momentarily dazed him. Once Zac recovered from the fall, he discovered that he was back in Washington Park, where they had started before the Silver Sorceress sunk him and his friends under the earth. But when he only discovered Sammy next to him. Kelly was still missing. “Oh, thank goodness you guys are alright! I was so worried!” Jeanette rushed over to Zac and Sammy. “I so sorry I could have done anything to help you!” [color=peru]“Kelly,”[/color] Zac gasped, pointing up at the sky. [color=peru]“I think she’s still up there.”[/color] Jeanette then turned towards the direction in which Zac had pointed and took to the air. Since it was summer, there was still a little sunlight still left. Therefore, Jeanette scanned the skies, keeping an eye peeled for Kelly. After she had circled the park for the third time, Jeanette finally saw Kelly. She then darted after Kelly. As Jeanette lined up behind her falling ally, she prepared to grapple onto her with her legs to steer her clear from becoming a splat on the ground. Once she had a hold of Kelly, Jeanette gradually shifted her wings so to change their course. The ground kept approaching faster and faster as the two women approached the earth. But almost at the last moment, Jeanette had arched their course enough that they swooped back up towards the sky before they could crash into the dirt. After making one last loop overhead, Jeanette glided down to the ground and gently laid Kelly down. Zac immediately rushed over to his girlfriend to check on her. Although she had become exhausted from the experience, Kelly was still alive and breathing. All she needed was some rest.
