A/N: Hello! I'm happy if your reading this that you've decided to read chapter two! I really hope you enjoy the escape scenes, and for all you action geeks like me out there, there are fights coming up in later chapters, so sorry if you get bored in the early chapters. Not saying their boring or anything!
Chapter Two- Close Calls
2D started swimming towards the surface, breath held and supplies on his back, staying at least 10 yards away from the whale. The light was straight ahead, and as he swam to the top, he was gasping for breath. He knew what he had to do next- get a rowboat and get out of there. He also knew where a rowboat was- right in the lighthouse- right in front of him. He stood up, his fingers bleeding from broken glass, and started running towards the lighthouse. He was almost there; he just needed to get the- he stopped and squatted next to the lighthouse door.
He could hear murmurs of Murdoc Niccals' voice, echoing inside the lighthouse. As usual, it sounded stubborn and angry.
"Move quicker you bitchy Cyborg!" He yelled. 2D could hear metals move, and the robot girl replying, "Yes, master." His plan was ruined. 2D felt a migraine coming on. A bad one, a very nervous one. Have you ever gotten a migraine because you felt like in one moment you would hear angry voices and get shot in the head? Ask 2D. He's gone through it a few times…
2D almost wanted to cry, just squatting to the right of the door. Everything was ruined- they would come out and see him. But why was he just sitting there? He looked frantically and then saw a barrel from the corner of his eye. He ran behind it, starting to find hope, and also starting to rummage through his bag to swallow a few migraine pills.
That's when he heard sirens echo. It was probably because 2D's room had flooded, and the water was making its way into the circuits of the lift.
"What the bloody hell is that stupid noise?" Murdoc yelled, 2D hearing the echo.
"Detecting- Detecting- Searching Data Base- Issue found- "Bloody hell noise" equal to "Flood alarm." 2D heard Murdoc curse loudly and slammed the front door of the lighthouse open.
"Flood Alarm? Why the hell is a bloody flood alarm is going off? Come on, you stupid metal chunk, I'm not going in there first!" He hissed, walking right past 2D, not seeing him at all. When Murdoc was surely passed 2D, he ran inside the lighthouse, seeing the rowboat up high, hooks gripping every side of it. He stood on his tiptoes and reached as high as he could, stretching his neck and spine by maybe a foot or two. His back cracked, and the boat came crashing down, right on top of 2D.
He hoisted it off of him, seeing his side of his shirt was now sopping wet with blood, and he definitely broke something on his side, but he managed to drag the row boat to the shore, along with the paddles leaning against the lighthouse wall. He pushed it onto the flat surface of the reflecting, salty ocean and hopped into it. Using the paddle he pushed off the shore and started to smoothly move north. He had done it- off of Plastic Nightmare!
