Out of respect for Hope, she will not take part in battle. She is the "peacekeeper".
Sorry about the paragraphing, it always does that when I paste it here.

CHAPTER 9 - Hoola Hoop Hope
------------------------------------------------------------------
The party encountered a large silver door at the top of the stairs. Upon entering, they now stood in a large throne room
of some kind. Suits of armor lned the left and right walls, as to form a path to the throne. Seated here was an elderly, beardless
dwarf in a red suit! "What you..doing here?" he wailed, eyes widened, "I am..Ad....min Senor..pers..onal minion of..Tex_Admin."
"You must stop this mission Tex has started!" Hope pleaded, "please! The people enjoy going to RF. Let them do so in peace.
They do not harm anyone."
Senor's eyes widened again. "Sil...ly..girl!" He snapped his fingers, and out from behind a suit of armor appeared..
...Hope?
Another one?
The Hope 2 carried two hoops and tossed one to Hope. "What do I do with this?" Hope asked Senor, "I will not fight,
for I am a woman of peace!" She held the hoop up to show Senor.
Senor had a grin on his face, rubbing his hands together slowly. Hope 2 put the hoop around her waist, and began to swivel
around, causing the hoop to spin around her. The Macarena music began to play. "Hoop..chall..enge!" Senor jumped up and down excitedly, "defeat..clone..I will show..you way to go..to defeat..Tex.."
Hope shrugged and followed Hope 2's rhythm. Both girls were really good! Soul nearly passed out at the sight. Hope 2 hardly
moved an inch. Hope had more endurance, but it seemed Hope 2 had the upper hand in rhythm. "C'mon Hope!" Soul cried
"you can do it!"
After five minutes of constant hip swiviling, the party sat down and rested, except Soul, who was jumping up and down encouraging
Hope to do her best. Senor was still watching.
But wait! Hope 2 seemed to be getting tired! Her swiveling seemed to slow down, and within a minute, the hoop dropped to the floor!
Hope 2 fell and landed on her backside. Hope grabbed the other hoop and began swiveling both around her wrists, then added to her performance by doing one around her ankle!
"Oh..no!" Senor cried. He snapped his fingers and Hope 2 vanished. "so you..have..won!"
"So you will show us the way to Tex, then?" Ceridwen demanded harshly.
"Oh..yes.." Senor rubbed his hands together, and pulled on a lever aside his throne. The floor beneath the group fell out from
underneath them and they all toppled down into a pit! "En..joy.." Senor laughed..
-------------------------------------------------------
CHAPTER 10 - Trapped?
-------------------------------------------------------------
The trap door above swung shut, leaving the party stranded in a large cavern filled with water! The group sat on a large rock platform
in the centre of the cavern, surrounded by water that looked to be as deep as the sky itself. "Great!" Ceridwen crossed her arms.
"Hey, it's not my fault," Soul protested in defense.
"Then who's is it?" Ceridwen snapped, "you lose my sword, then get us trapped."
Ceridwen and Soul began to quarrel. "Guys! Please don't argue!" We are the RF warriors. We do not argue." Hope said in her
calming tone. Both Ceridwen and Soul apologized and shook hands. Hope smiled. "That's better."
"How are we to get out?" Ceridwen frowned, looking around.
"Look!" Runt pointed to another platform, fifty feet or so away, "what is that? A scroll lying on the platform?"
"Maybe it's Schnapps!" Soul cried. "And maybe he can save us. But how do we get it?"
"Say no more," Runt yawned, taking her armor off and diving into the water in her aerobics outfit. Runt was an excellent diver. "Oh it's cold!" Runt swam over to the platform and climbed on to it. "Got it!" she yelled.
Schnapps appeared instantly. "I see your point," he grinned at Runt. "There is a way out on this platform we are on.
There is a secret door behind this boulder. But it is locked heavily and cannot be opened except by a silver key.
I will sell you one, but it will be costly. 500 coins. I will throw in a small raft to bring your friends over from there for 50 coins."
Runt told Schnapps that Soul had the money, so Schnapps hovered over to him "Your lady requires the sum of 550 coins, sir,"
he spoke. Soul handed over the money and Schnapps produced a small inflatable raft from nowhere. Hope, Ceridwen and Soul thanked Schnapps and sailed over to the awaiting Runt with the key. Soul and Ceridwen pushed the huge boulder aside and
Runt unlocked the door they had uncovered.
They found themselves on a cliff edge, with the edge leading around the chasm to another door. The group found that the edge
thinned out, so they had to shimmy across the edge towards the door! "Don't look down!" Hope ordered.
Thwack! came a sudden noise next to Ceridwen's arm as she shimmied her way across. "Argh!" she cried! Someone is firing arrows at us!"
Thwack! shot another arrow, making Hope lose her grip on the edge by one hand. "No! She cried, "I am going to fall!"
Luckily the edge had widened out again. Soul clambered onto the platform with the door, and held his outstretched hand.
"Grab my hand!" Hope immediatly grabbed it and Soul pulled her up onto the platform, just avoiding the impact of an arrow.
Once the party wer all up on the platform, they turned to see their arrow attacker. A white pegasus was hovering in the air,
and it's rider was seated, just watching the party with no expression.
Rosa.
