The coic on the captives, so it was idea versus idea Some fell in with Sylvester’s side, others joined the MSI side, and others just kept dancing It was hard to tell how the fight was going, but I figured it was okay as long as no aro take over the world I wasn’t even sure where they’d have gone

I felt triu for the sound systeer enchanted I barely reached the sound systeic on h to buy me a little time I hit the redial button on my new phone and shouted, "Saed the music!" the elf accused

"You enchanted it!" I countered "There’s gotta be a special place in hell reserved for anyone who’d use disco for mind control to force people into an ared for the stereo, and I blocked hi the enchanted ured if I didn’t put up a fight, he h to look for the enchanted device Besides, Jake would never forgivehappen to his iPod

I felt a rush of air as a soyle I wasn’t familiar with swooped in and landed on top of the stereo "Your DJ days are over, elf," the gargoyle snarled I dove out of the way as the gargoyle and elf launched into a oyle bounced off an invisible barrier Sure that the music was safe for now, I turned my attention to the dance floor and the portal

I had to get our people back to this world--get Owen to safety I hated to even think about what could have happened to him by now One of the commanders had to have the key to the wards on the other side of the portal The trick would be getting hi to play Barry Maniloould work

Or was it really all about controlling our world’s elves, and would the army first be used to subdue Sylvester’s opponents?

I’d donepicture, but at the moment I was probably the person who knew theout the plan, of course Surely there was soht be of use here We couldn’t have gone through all that only to fail

The portal shih I shouted to alert our people to the influx of nized the first arrival and realized they were on our side, nottoward hi my arms around him "You’re safe! I was so worried"

He heldhim "I’m fine, I’m fine," he reassured me "The others came to my rescue pretty quickly Are you okay? Have you been trapped here in the ot out, and then I came back with help It seeht here the ere brought there, and I broke that spell with Jake’s iPod You broke the wards?"

He blushed and said, "It was tricky because elven ured it out eventually By then, Mac and the others had finished their riot, so here we are"

"It was perfect ti because we need the help Most of these soldiers don’t really want to fight, but they don’t want to help us, either"

More and h the portal and juht into the fray It looked like a war had broken out in a discotheque There was so the soundtrack to a battle It was hard to tell which of the lights flashing around the warehouse were sparks of ht and which ca overhead
