Locked Up!

Jack and Mara pushed Roxy into a cell. Mr. Sweeps smiled. “ Now you'll never stop me. “ He slammed the heavy irondoor. Roxy heard him lock it. Roxy thought about the ring Mr. Sweeps was wearing. “ He's using that ring to control everyone. I need to destroy it. ” Roxy looked around the cell.

“ I could break down that door, ” she thought. “ But Mr. Sweeps will hear me. I need a way to sneak up on him. “ Roxy kicked at the rock floor to see how hard it was. “ I think I have an idea. “ Mr. Sweeps was examining a diamond when he heard a crash. “ Rocket Girl is trying to break out of her cell” he yelled.

“ Everyone, guard thedoor! “ All the students dropped their tools. They gathered in front of the cell door. Boom! There was a deep rumbling sound. The entire cavern shook. “ As soon as Rocket Girl comes out, capture her! ” commanded Mr. Sweeps.

Suddenly--kaboom! Pieces of rock flew everywhere. Roxy blasted through the cavern floor behind everyone. Mr. Sweeps spun around, but he wasn'tfast enough. Whiz-hoo! Roxy fired her eyelaser beams. The ring exploded. " My ring! " cried Mr. Sweeps. Instantly the students’buttons stopped glowing.

” Where are we?” asked Jack. ” What's going on, Rocket Girl?” asked Mara. “ You were all hypnotized by MrSweeps, “ answered Roxy. “ He isn't really a principal. He was forcing you to mine diamonds here under the school. "
