This is my first fic, and I decided to do it from one of my favorite movies and a character that I really liked.
Atlantis is not my property, I only write for fun and entertainment.
It happens in the events of the final battle, when Milo and the Atlanteans go to rescue Kida.
Originally, this chapter was published on November 13, 2017, but on June 24, 2018, I decided to improve in certain aspects, to see what you think of these new improvements.
Chap. 1. Treason and escape
At the base of the volcano, the battle was devastating between the two sides, neither gave way to the other, the soldiers were too trusting when the Atlantic shot nothing more arrows and even more when they began to hunt in their small planes, but all change when the Atlantic in their flying weights, they were shooting energy rays.
As time passed, the Atlanticists began to defeat them.
But in the Gyro - Evac, a big balloon that was in the middle of the battle, and that the planes were protecting because there was their cargo and leaders, the commander and the lieutenant were firing at everything that approached them.
But before they knew it, a flying fish squeezed against one of the balloons that made it rise and take height. The commander realized that they were going down quickly, decided to take action.
-We lose height !, lighten the load! - Rourke gave orders to Helga, and she starts to throw what has weight, although they only had little cargo and it was not going to be enough for the balloon to rise, Rourke knew it perfectly and He thought quickly about a plan, until something came to mind, he gave a smile and slowly began to approach and stand behind Helga.
Helga with much effort threw the last tank of fuel, but still, it was not enough to raise it again.
-It's all !, unless you want to jump- saying it sarcastically while pushing her hair back by the discomfort she felt right now, so concentrated and annoyed was that she did not realize that Rourke was behind her.
-The ladies first- Rourke saying as he took Helga's arms with great force and he throws her out of the Globe.
- NO! - Helga exclaimed surprised and scared to feel as he lifted her and threw her outside, luckily, instinctively he extended his arms and managed to grab the railing under the platform on which they were, almost his feet touched the propellers that were under it.
He stayed a few seconds reflecting what had just happened, and when he did, with a great anger that was inside, Helga rocked back a bit to gain momentum, doing so managed to climb, to hit in the face to a Surprised Rourke with his two feet and knocked him down, and while he was recovering from the blow on the floor, she saw him very furious.
-You said we were in this together! - When she finished saying it, she kicked him in the face twice.
-You promised me a percentage! - Helga said it very angry, as she prepared to give him a circular kick and with more force, but when he was about to connect her, Rourke grabbed the leg, and seeing that he was holding her, he got up .
- Next time, ask for it in writing! - Saying it when he was already up, he breaks the leg that has the grip, and to top it, the spear on the side of the top of the railing, far enough so that she could not hold on.
-ROURKE! - Helga shouted as she fell uncontrollably, her braided hair untied, and in the midst of the air, she started spinning uncontrollably.
"It's nothing personal!" Helga listened as Rourke yelled mockingly, which further increased her anger.
And while he was spinning uncontrollably, I try to focus his eyesight, and when he did, at least he noticed, he saw that he was almost going to hit the solid floor of the volcano, and the next thing that happened ... ... it sounded like a dry blow coming from his body when hitting the ground.
Rourke saw the fall of Helga very satisfied, happy and without any regrets for his actions, since as predicted, the Gyro-Evac began to rise, and therefore, when it came to the surface, it would be totally millionaire, and to be honest When they reached the surface, he would cause an "accident" to Helga, so that he would be even more millionaire than he would have been.
But his happiness did not last when he heard a strange noise, and turned just to see Milo hanging on a rope and hit him in the face.
While that was happening, almost under them, we can appreciate Helga, she is down the floor of the cavern, her face is on the left side, anyone who saw her, would think she was dead as she did not move or emitted no noise, but surprisingly, his fingers began to move a little ...
POV by Helga
All I see is only darkness, and all I feel is an unbearable pain all over my body, the only thing I hear is the sound of the bullets from the planes, but these are slowly disappearing, I can only open one Little my eyes to see that I was face down on the floor.
I can not believe that I'm still alive, if I know I'm strong, I've strengthened my body throughout my life, but to recognize it, a fall that high would kill anyone instantly after the crash, but I remember that face From mole I had mentioned that the ashes of the volcano, it was a very soft rock, that cleared my doubts.
I stay awake and only because of the pain and agony I had in my body; A hundred as almost all my ribs were broken, my leg is totally unused and broken by Rourke.
Rourke ... I can not believe what he did to me, we were supposed to be a team! He and I were going to be rich! We were going to divide 90% of the cost of all the riches, and I increased my percentage more when Audrey, Vynni and the others left the team !, and 10% was going to be for those soldiers that Rourke brought and he offered them, to change their loyalty and not say where they got all the money ... ... and although we met long ago, he betrayed me, and the worst I try to get rid of my back.
With the help of my left arm, very slowly because I feel my arm tremble with pain, I slowly manage to turn and lift my body a bit on the left side, moan of pain, although I do not want to complain, I can not help it, my whole body ached and when turning I felt my back had also been badly hurt, with my blurred vision, I see vaguely as Rourke was getting closer to the exit ... ... my hatred towards him is intense, now that's the only thing that kept me going still awake, lying on the ground, I barely realize that when we left the city of Atlantis, the last thing Rourke said to others was "more for ME", the one he was sure was planning when we came to the surface, get rid of me so that he would touch almost all the money we were going to get, he only saw me as his puppet and I allowed him to be ... that provoked in me an infernal hatred towards him.
I'm not going to let him get away with his, before he died, letting him still alive ... although it's ironic that he thinks about it, because I feel like every pain beats weakly in my body ... I feel like I'm dying ... .. but better I put aside my thought, I give a sigh and I start to turn to face up, although doing so, I feel my ribs move, causing my torso to start to hurt even more than I could already feel, what again I groaned in pain, but as you turn, with my left arm I started to take out my flare gun that I had kept by my pants, luckily it did not fall.
When she is on her back, she is ready to shoot him, but I felt my arm begin to tremble with pain. What's wrong with me? My gun is not so heavy, but now I feel like I'm carrying a ton! My chest to concentrate my strength, I feel ready, I raise my arm to aim, but this time with my right arm supporting my left arm, and I try to open my eyes a little more, as I do so I can vaguely see my objective, I have I had to hurry to shoot since my goal was fading.
-It is nothing personal- I murmur the last words he told me, and with my blurred vision, shoot my target, I see how he gives it, which causes everything to explode and begin to fall into a tailspin.
I gave a smile of satisfaction, something forced and painful, my arms can no longer support the effort applied, and these fell to the ground, I begin to breathe forcefully and agonizingly, because when I do, my chest explodes with pain and suffering ... .. Although I try to move to a safe place, my body does not even react, I am too sore and tired to do it.
I begin to complain of pain silently, I feel my eyelids become heavy and little by little, I begin to close my eyes, although I want to make sure that Rourke died in the explosion of the balloon, my fatigue no longer allows me to open my eyes, not even to stay awake, I start thinking about a plan to get out of here, and now the only way I can get out of my situation in which I find myself, is in two ways: Try to drag me to a safe place so I can recover from my wounds and be able to rest better, but I know very well that it will be impossible, I feel like I'm starting to faint because of how weak I feel and my body does not react, I can not even open my eyes once more. And the other is that someone find me and help me ... .ja, as if that were possible, everyone is focused on the battle, and although the Atlantics find me, neither Milo nor the others, they will not forgive me for my actions. , try to remove the source of life of the entire town of Atlantis ... ..my actions have no forgiveness, but for the moment I stop thinking and turn my head sideways to try to feel more comfortable and my head does not tire so much .
I feel like I am losing consciousness, I have a hard time breathing, I Helga Katrina Sinclair, a 30 year old woman, eldest daughter of six brothers, a soldier who has fought all my life ... ... I will die here, and the worst of everything, it was provoked by an act of treason and cowardice, I have always said, that the only way to die for a soldier with a great honor like me, would be in combat.
But I will not surrender ... ..I am going to face the very death, I will keep fighting to keep myself alive ... I know ... I still have a lot to live ... ..I am strong ... in determination, mentally and physically ... I'm not going to let him die this way, but when I'm about to faint from the pain, I can hear how there are some running steps, the strange thing is that they are not very far from me, but I can not endure more pain and then, I do not hear anything anymore.
POV. From ? (Minutes before the explosion)
I am not a mercenary, I am a soldier ... although my actions speak for themselves, because what I am doing has no forgiveness, I am shooting at people we all thought had died millions of years ago, to keep them away from our load, which contains the source of life of all that civilization, although I do not want to participate in all this, I would have liked to be on the other side ... but, I have no choice, the commander offered us a lot of money to all for loyalty, although the truth all my colleagues thought about themselves, I do not, because if my part I will not use it for my ... .. ... if it will not be for her.
I'm on top of one of the vehicles, shooting everything that came close to the Globe, although the truth is that my conscience was not completely concentrated, since I can not repress my actions, then when I look up, I see how one of them flying fish crashed into a balloon that helped raise the Gyro -Evac, which caused it to begin to lower its height, I would have continued to see, if it were not for a blow from my partner who had beside me made me react.
-Don't get distracted! - I scream very annoyed and this again began to shoot, I also started shooting, although I know very well that our current situation is very bad, since everything is against us, because when Atlantes destroyed the car that helped to raise the planes that we had, they began to dominate us.
But I heard in the middle of the bullets, a sharp blow, as if something had hit very hard, stop shooting and turn to where I heard the blow, came from a small hill that was up, and when I decide to go and investigate what was that noise….
- What are you doing! - Again I heard the mercenary shout again but when he turned to see me, he did not realize that a ray of those flying fish was going against us.
- Careful! - I shout and managed to react to get rid of the vehicle, before the lightning hit the car and exploded, the force produced by the explosion was not much but enough to get me away from the vehicle and I felt like I started to roll
When I stop rolling, I feel my eardrums tremble with pain, I let my pain fall apart and when I return to normal, I feel now how the gas in my mask comes out, apparently broke and is now useless.
I take off my mask and also the gas tank, I give a few small breaths and I get up to see how we were doing, and I saw that nobody was there, almost everyone is dead, I thought about going to look for someone ... ... but I recognize that this will not change anything, what happened next was that I hear a big explosion, and when I look up, I saw with horror that the Gyro -Evac was burned, and began to descend in flames.
When I was thinking that the Commander and the lieutenant were upstairs, I worried about them, but in my mind, a memory started to surface when there was a conversation between the doctor and the excavator.
"The magma, solidified at the base of the volcano, completely blocking the exit".
"Awaits explains ... you mean that this volcano can explode at any moment"
"Oh no no nono, it takes a great destructive force of great magnitude, to wake up"
As I remembered that conversation, I started to worry, if the Gyro-Evac would crash on the surface of the volcano, engulfed in flames ... .. meaning that, the volcano was going to erupt when it crashed.
Quickly, I begin to think of a plan, I raise my eyes and see in the chasm that I had heard the blow before, as there are some small caverns higher in the chasm, maybe the lava does not arrive, I already have at least one idea, and when I look down at the ground, there was a backpack, I bend down to see what I had, and I saw that it has very useful things that could be useful, I put the backpack on my back and start running to the chasm, once in a while I turn up to see how the Evac, kept falling, but in the middle of my path, turns to side, and what I saw left me speechless, on the floor is a slender woman, fair skin, long blond hair, has a mole Under the left eye, lips painted red, she has a white tank top, tight green trousers, gloves and brown boots, she was undoubtedly Lieutenant Sinclar, and she was somewhat deviated from the chasm.
I know very well that if I strayed, maybe I can not reach my goal in time, but I can not ignore the lieutenant, so I decide to go with her.
I quickly, I go down a little and I start running where she was, I was wondering what she was doing here, when I am already at her side, I notice with concern that she is unconscious and that she is not breathing very well, her breathing is very rough, too I notice that his face reflects pain and also how his left leg was totally out of place.
I worry a lot and put my head to his chest, and I lean my head gently on his chest, where she has her heart, and it anguishes me much more, since I barely hear it.
I walk away a little, and I begin to wonder if I should leave it, since there is not much time left for the balloon to hit the surface, and it could only delay me ... ... but I quickly remove that idea, I have never stopped no one behind, any of the mercenaries would leave her so they can be saved, anyone but me.
I bend over to grab a firefighter's style, but I barely touch his torso a little to accommodate myself, I see how she showed an expression of suffering, and she twisted a little, I could understand that she must have some broken bones in her thorax ... and they should be very serious.
Now with much more care, I put one of my arms around his back and the other in his knees flexing, already prepared the lift very carefully, are already fully up, the lieutenant being unconscious, his head and his long hair began to hang down, I began to make sure that she was a little comfortable and that her thorax did not move so much, I start to go at a moderate speed, not so slow to be able to arrive in time to the chasm, but neither so fast to keep the lieutenant from suffering even more, but suddenly, I feel like all the ground began to move, that only means one thing ... the volcano is waking up and I see that, since I feel the hottest soil, now I increase my speed a little more, I see how everything was already showing magma, and I turn back, and I only see how some flying fish started to go quickly, although one stayed behind the others.
I ignore all that when I felt how the earth moved, being a bit in the chasm, I see a big cavern, so I decided to go there, I was almost inside the cavern, I see some rocks falling from above, I managed to react in time to avoid being crushed to me and my lieutenant, but then I feel like my body and that of the lieutenant, we were pushed in, and then I begin to see everything black ...
