Chapter 6: Marco Polo and the Hero of Gallowmere
"Someone throw me a torch. It's too dark in here." Nate asked as they were searching through the dank cavern-like structure. The previously shadow-filled cavern illuminated to reveal several decaying skeletons.
"Marco Polo's crew..." Nate observed. "They must have taken refuge here when their ships washed ashore."
Before Drake and the others could react again, an armored skeletal figure leapt at them.
"Who the hell are you?" Chloe asked.
"Hmmph raaapm mmmmph!" ("I'm Sir Daniel Fortesque! And you are an invader of my tomb. I challenge you to a duel!")
"I don't know who you think you are, but I'm in no mood to surrender." Drake said in response. Drake then rapidly started dodging Sir Dan's invigorated sword and shield swings, managing to hit him back, until he got hit by a fireball super attack, and disappeared in a flash.
"NATE!" Chloe and Sully screamed in horror, thinking that this so-called knight killed their ally. However, Drake suddenly reappeared as quickly as he was gone.
"What just happened?" Drake asked in confusion, looking around at his enemy, before noticing he had powered up himself, slamming Sir Dan through a breakable wall. "Here, bone-boy. Catch!" Drake then threw a propane tank at the knight, before cocking his pistol to blow it up.
"Stmhp! Aii surrender!" Sin Dan begged. ("Stop! I surrender!")
"You have to admit, that escalated rather quickly. No hard feelings?" Drake asked the knight.
"No hrrm flleengs." ("No hard feelings, fellow warrior.") Sir Dan answered.
After making amends, the quintet of Drake, Sir Dan, Sully, Chloe and Sackboy continued on their way through, before stopping and noticing a knife-like parcel lying on the floor.
"Huh..." Nate murmered. "It's a Phurba."
"A what?" Chloe asked.
"It's like a dagger, to remove obstacles in your way. Spiritual obstacles. Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, this would help us find the way to Shambala."
"It's worth a shot, I guess." Chloe said back. "Now let's get out of here before Lazerivic finds us." The young woman started climbing back up to get outside the cave. Drake, Sully, and Sackboy climbed back up soon after, only to be ambushed by Harry Flynn.
"You don't know when to quit, don't you, Nate? And look what we have here... Victor 'Goddamn' Sullivan." Flynn snickered. "Still dragging this sad sack around?"
Drake was about ready to punch him, before Sully coaxed Nate not to.
"It's better than slagging through the jungle without a clue."
"I found this place, didn't I?" Flynn retorted.
"You couldn't find your own ass with your hands." Drake snapped.
"And a map." Sully added.
"Well, I'm not planning on letting you get away again." Flynn said, cocking his gun after swiping away the Phurba. Before he could shoot though, Sir Dan leapt from behind to defeat the other soldiers.
"Ghrm, Nate! Rnn!" ("Go, Nate! Run!") The skeletal knight then fought through the other soldiers until one knocked his head off with a strong gun shot.
"Well, you go help Chloe, Nate." Sully said. "I'm planning on going someplace warm. You can tell me all about it when you get back." He then leapt into the water below, swimming back to his plane. Nate then started running off, with Sackboy helping block the hits as he set back to go find Chloe to escape to Nepal, where their prize would be waiting for them.
There goes another chapter. I hope you enjoyed it. And remember to continue reviewing. And don't worry; I'm gonna be adding Kat (from Gravity Rush) and Emmett Graves (from Starhawk) in as the story progresses.
