The Dimensional Rift

 BY LF

Despite all the cures nothing would turn Tadgh back to his normal form. Then he broke out of our grip and he ran away. “What should we do now?” asked Cormac. “I don’t know,” said Patrick. “ We might want to catch him,” said the other me. We decided to go to Dromiskin House. We exited the school and Aidan and James came around the corner on scooters. “Can we come too?” asked Aidan. “We were listening to what you were saying,” said James. “Um………ok.” we said and then headed for Dromskin House.   When we arrived we searched the house. But no one was there and we decided to leave it to the next day.

That night I was watching the news when it said: “News just in……. a criminal mastermind has been broken out of prison by a mythical creature. We advise everyone to stay inside. If anyone is able to help please  ……..”. The screen went black. The other me grabbed the phone and rang the two gangs. We met up at my house. Aidan and James came too. We ran to the school to see a huge gorilla swinging on the church. “Uh,oh,” said Patrick. “Its King Kong!” he screamed. Both of the classes appeared out of nowhere. They all looked up and screamed. We all ran away but the unfortunate Liam was grabbed and thrown into King Kong’s mouth. We ran into the school. “Phew we made it out of there.” said Patrick. Well not all of us,” said P Mc C. “Liam didn’t.” he said. “Guys, is it just me or is the ground shaking?” Aoife asked. Then the school was lifted and a huge yellow eye appeared in the window. “Patrick what is that?!” we screamed. “It’s….. it’s Godzilla!” he said. We stared at the eye. “How are we meant to get out?” asked Julie. “We jump out!” said Patrick. We ran to the door. We all jumped outside. Godzilla started shaking the school when he saw us and ran after us. He destroyed everything in his path. We ran to the shop.

 “Patrick how do you know so much about these monsters?” the other Patrick asked. “It’s in a book at my house. I can get it if you want,” he said, “Get it now!,” we shouted. “Ok, ok.” he said. A few minutes later he came back with a book in his hand and a torch in the other. He had brought the torch as Godzilla and King Kong had knocked down all the cell towers and electricity wires. “Here it is,” he said handing over the book. “Page 155.” he added. We flicked through the pages and on page 155 was the title Villain Dimension. “How is this meant to help us?” I asked. “You haven’t read it yet.” He said.

The chapter read:

In the year 2000 terrible villains took over the world. Only the dimensional rift could transfer the villains to the Villain realm, which is stored in Dundalk museum. The Joker was the leader of this group of monsters. Most of Ireland’s population dropped due to war. But one heroic boy who was only 7 years old found the Dimensional rift. He used it against the monsters and they were sent to the villain realm. The Joker was found and was arrested a few months later.

“This is all the data we need!” I said. “We could get really far with this book because it tells us where the dimensional rift is located,” the other me added as he came out from the shadow.

“Wait! But that means it must’ve been The Joker who escaped prison”, said  P Mc C. “Yes it was me.” said a pale- faced man who had green hair. “Its me……. Joker!” he laughed. “And a werewolf boy.” He added. “How did you escape?” we asked.

“That’s for me to know and for you not to find out!” he laughed back to us. I think your teacher could do with a makeover! “VOLDEMORT!” he said. Another pale faced man appeared a wand in hand. And with one flick of the wand a pink tu-tu appeared on Mr Mc Comish. “Well best be going.” He said as he pulled out a machine and shot Patrick with it. Patrick’s eyes turned green and he jumped up onto the broken roof. “Cho!” laughed the Joker. Then he, Patrick and Tadgh left. “What are we meant to do now?” asked Julie. “RUN!!” I said. “Why?” asked the other Patrick. “Bane is coming!”

Bane smashed the wall down. We all hid in different places. We were not caught until Gavin let a very loud burp. Bane snapped his head over to Gavin. Gavin ran out of the shop and he ran to the school where Godzilla was. Maleficent joined Bane at the door. “I’ll distract them and you guys escape. Take these bands so we can communicate with each other.” I said handing out the communicator bands. “And I don’t have one for you Mr Mc Comish as you don’t need one because you are their bait for whenever they want to escape.” “

“Why am I always bait?” Mr Mc Comish said in a moaning voice. “Are you sure these work?” asked Kate. “Of course they do,” I answered. “Ok, I better go…… bye.” Then I ran to the front door. “Hey! Over here, catch me if you can!” I shouted at them. The two classes snuck past Bane and Maleficent. They ran to the round tower. Bane ran over to me and tried to grab me but he missed. Then I was faced with Maleficent. I ran right past her. But nothing could beat her magic. I was caught in a sleeping spell.

“I wonder what will happen to Lorcan?” said the other Tadgh. “Yeah.” Said P Mc C. They arrived at the round tower. They found a ladder in the garden of someone’s house. They placed the ladder on the round tower and started to climb it. But a goblin appeared out of nowhere blocking their path. “I am Gollum the great. To get past me you must answer my three riddles!” he said in a creaky voice. “Why should we?” asked James. “Because I like riddles! Anyways let’s start riddling! First riddle! What goes up and never comes back down?” he asked us. “This is easy!” said Cormac. “Your age!” “How did you know? Anyway…. your second riddle. What is yours but other people use it more?” “Uuuh that’s easy everyone knows…… that it’s your name of course.” said Fionnuala. “GRRRRRR. How do you know so much! Final riddle. Its been around for millions of years, but its no more than a month old. What is it?” he said madly.

The class didn’t know. “It’s the moon!” shouted Charlie. There was a silence as everyone stood still in disbelief. “Wow I didn’t know Charlie knew his riddles.” said Sadhbh astonished. “How did you know?! Well I better let you past.”

Meanwhile I was on the road to the castle. I had woken up a few hours after I was captured. “James, Aidan do you read no one else will answer,” “We hear you loud and clear Lorcan. What’s up?,” they answered. “Great, you need to warn everyone that Dromiskin is going to be invaded by villains. You need to get the Dimensional Rift now.” I said. “Ok,” they replied urgently.

The villains marched their way to the shop, which was where the last sighting of the class was. The class ran down the ladder and found keys to a bus. They found out which bus it was, and they unlocked it. “Now who knows how to drive a bus?” Orlaith asked. No one answered. The silence was broken by Lucy eating a starburst. Then she ran up to the wheel. She turned the keys of the bus and the bus went zooming into Dundalk. After a few minutes they arrived and ran to the museum. They knocked the door down and ran up the stairs. There in front of them was the Dimensional Rift. Julie grabbed it. They then got into the bus and drove off into the distance.

I arrived at the castle door. I could see the Joker peering down with Patrick and Tadgh either side of him. The doors opened and I was brought into the torture dungeons. Harley Quinn was spread out on the ground. She was sleeping. She woke up to see Bane and I in front of her. “Ooooh are we killing him for dinner?” she asked. “No……. the Joker has him for his entertainment,” answered Bane.  I was thrown into the only cell. “The Joker will be down in a few minutes to see you die!” Bane said as he left the room. Then he slammed the door. The cell was freezing. It didn’t have a bed or a seat it was just like a stone box. A few minutes past and Patrick, Tadgh and the Joker opened the door to the dungeon. “I smell fresh blood in the air, Lorcan. Its time to finish you once and for all!,” the Joker laughed. Tadgh pulled the guillotine into sight. Patrick opened the door and slammed my neck in to the wooden hole of the guillotine. I could see the joker eating popcorn like it was a cinema. Patrick got ready to do the honour of killing me. “Actually I want him to be killed by a knife,” the Joker said so I was released and was brought over to a cage and was locked in it.

Clayface tried to stop the class but with Lucy driving he was no match. They stopped at the Round Tower. They climbed to the very top and Julie pulled out the Dimensional Rift. She pressed all the buttons it said in Patrick’s book. Then a blue beam appeared. Everything went white. Every monster disappeared one by one. It spread to the castle and the Joker disappeared. Patrick went back to normal and Tadgh did too. As Patrick turned back to normal he accidentally let go of the knife and it fell and fell until it stabbed me. “I’m a murderer!” gasped Patrick. The class came running and they saw me lying on the ground with a knife in my chest. “What happened?” asked the other me. “Who done this?” asked James. “I….. I did,” said Patrick. The other Patrick stared in disbelief. He couldn’t believe that his twin would do such a thing. “Lets burn him!” yelled Liam “No, lets hang him!” yelled Sabina. “No, no, no, no they’re all terrible ideas we should guillotine him!” yelled Charlie. “No one is killing Patrick yet because I think we have another adventure to go on because Lorcan has something in his hand.” said Mr Mc Comish taking the page out of my hand. He looked at it. “Looks like we are going on another adventure.” said Mr Mc Comish!!
