Madeleine caught up with Will.
"You ready?" Will looked at the boulder and moved it out of the way. "Whoa, second time I've done that. Alright Terrico you're up!"
The fox trotted inside then called back to her.
Hey Will, the fire's still going in here.
"Really?" Will got startled when the boulder moved back in place behind them. "Madeleine, I think this place is supposed to be where the leaders meet and converse about things. Plus there's this document thing. Here put your finger in the hole that says Warriors and I'll put my finger in the one that says Carers!" she walked over to the wooden table with chairs on either side of it and put her index finger in the hole of the ball, it glowed and then she waited.

"Wow," Madeleine murmured, running her fingers along the stone walls of the cave, and studying the paintings. Each painting depicted the different groups working with each other, in wars and out of them.
In the centre of the room, where Will was standing, was a wooden table, surrounded by four chairs. In the centre of this was a ball, which contained a scroll of some sort.
She turned to Will as she put her finger in the hole. It glowed.
Her jaw dropped. "What is this?"
Meeting place? With glowing hole things? Lit by fires?
Although, she had to admit, the fires were awesome.
She frowned perplexedly and put her index finger into the hole tentatively. It glowed and an electronic-sounding voice said:
Welcome, Madeleine Aurélie Baudelaire; leader of the Warriors.
She resisted the temptation to swiftly withdraw her finger and waited.
Before this document can be opened, the leaders of the Academics and Spies must also be present, and must also place their fingers in the correct holes...
Madeleine arched an eyebrow at Will as the voice finished. "What on earth?"

Madeleine arched an eyebrow at Will as the voice finished. "What on earth?"
"My point exactly, I don't know what it is or what it is for but one thing I do know is I want to find out!" Will answered and stared at the ball in amazment.
"As far as I can tell, this place is for the leaders to converse and that scroll is the key to helping us be the four leaders, well that's what I think anyway. Do you think it's a reasonably smart thought or do you think I'm talking nonsense?"

"N-no, that's... that's reasonably smart... er... wow," she finished. "That's .... wow."
She took her finger out of the hole and studied the tablecloth. "So... I guess that means we go and find the others then, right?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. I think I might go and find Kira, I want to get to know her a bit more but I think it's best to leave it till tomorrow, getting late and all and you know how strict this place is." Will took her finger out of the hole and feel back into one of the seats. Terrico jumped on her lap and curled into a ball, Will scratched behind his ear because she knew this relaxed him.

Madeleine bit her lip. "Yeah, I suppose. They might get a bit fussed if we stay out late here... will you know your way back tomorrow, though?"

"Yeah and so will you, once you've been here you'll always be able to find it again. Remember the heat the power surge you felt? Well it'll be stronger next time, so you'll find it more quickly," Will looked back down at Terrico who was looking up at her.
Hey, Will, is it alright if I turn into a human, a person around your age?
"Sure, I don't care!"
Terrico leaped of her lap and in mid flight, turned into a 15 year old boy. Will looked at him.
"You look cute and hot!" she laughed.
"Shut up, wait, what? Thanks." he came over and put his arm around her waist. Will looked up at Madeleine who was looking confused and sort of wigged out.

Madeleine arched an eyebrow at the shape-shifting creature, then grinned.
Let's play my own game...
Quickly, she morphed into the shape of a Chinese fox exactly like Terrico.

"Whoa," Will watched Madeleine as she morphed into a Chinese Fox.
"Ok, if that's they way you want it, then let the games begin!" Terrico morphed into a Chinese Fireball. A ferocious type of dragon.

The fox-Madeleine grinned and turned into a Swedish Grey dragon, bigger and infinitely more dangerous than the fireball.

Terrico stared at her and then opened his mouth and sent fire flying towards Madeleine. It was like a torpedo. He took his Chance and turned into a Hellhound. They were faster and more flexible angainst a giant dragon like her so he was bound to win. He had glowing red eyes which are used to terrify theior prey, they are very aggresive and they are expert at hunting which meant he could hide from her. He quickly dashed into the cover of the shadows as she shot fire at him.

Madeleine was scathing. Oooh, that little...
Whatever. He could not expect to take on a Baudelaire and win.
The hellhound was maybe lighter on the ground, but there wasn't a point. No corners to hide in a cave.
But, just to be safe...
She morphed into a Provencial Flying Dragon, and flew above the hellhound, shooting a blaze of fire at him. When it hit his tail, she immediately changed back into her human form.
"Okay, I think we should leave it now, before someone gets really hurt, okay?" she said, raising her hands in a peace motion.

Terrico turned back into his human disguise.
"Oh my stars, Terrico are you ok?" Will rushed to his side.
"Will, I'm fine, really." he turned to Madeleine, "Giving up already? Scared of getting hurt are we? he taunted her.

Madeleine stared at him, a small smile forming on her lips. "I'm a Baudelaire, I'm not scared of anything," she said. "But you're not on an equal level with me, I have more advantages. If we fight, I'll win. I don't want to win an unfair fight."

Terrico stood there thinking, "Baudelaire, Baudelaire, oh yes, I've heard of your grandfather seen him in fighting to, great man he was and strong willed, I was told to serve him but I didn't. He didn't seem to need to," he said.
"I know you come from a long line of powerful people Madeleine Budelaire, so you're probably right, even though I'm 650 years old and know a lot about fighting."
Will coughed in surprise, "650 years old?"
"Oops, ah well cats out of the bag now," Terrico faced her.
