Aaaand next chapter, nothing else to say :3
Scyrus' P.O.V
We left the jail cell, I had put my helmet back on. Any guard we came across I knocked out. We looked for where our stuff would be held until an elf in a brown coat bumped into us. I grabbed him by the collar when I saw that he was carrying my coat and violet's wand.
I put on the coat and violet put away her wand. The elf then handed me a small red stone. I looked at him in awe "a firestone!?" he nodded "that person can be… difficult to reason with, follow me, I will get you out." I shook my head. "Just get us to the nearest wall to the outside". I pulled out one of my guns "I have a plan."
We found the wall and I pulled my other gun. "Plug your ears." The elf and Violet complied as I send two rounds of osmium/thermite buckshot into the brick wall, ripping it open and burning the rubble. I looked out the hole and grinned, I then looked back to the elf. "This is where we take our leave, do you want to come?"
He shook his head. I shrugged, sheathed my guns, and dropped the firestone into my pocked and picked violet up, much to her dislike. "Well then, goodbye Legolas." The elf shook his head. "My name isn't…" but I had already jumped out the window.
We fell a short distance until we landed on the Ostland. Violet clung to my shoulders bot out of fear and anger. "What in the name of Brimir is wrong with you?!" I chuckled behind my helmet. "Honestly violet, you should know that by now"
"Aaaagh, you treat me like this even after we…" she paused and blushed, smiling a little. I put her down and went to the engine room to take the armor off. I then headed to Colbert in the main control room. "How the heck did you know where to find us?" he laughed.
"I followed the massive explosion and burning hole." I grimaced a bit and then headed to the room to tinker with the power cell. I fiddled away at it for a few hours until violet walked in, having changed into her night gown elsewhere.
"What'cha doing?" I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I am currently re-configuring a Thorium-based radio-isotope cell to run off of a magical stone created from fire, and that's the simple version" she raised a finger to retort but surrendered "anyway… its almost midnight, time to sleep"
I grabbed a pillow and headed for the floor when violet stopped me. "Uh, it would be fine if you…" my eyes widened a bit but then returned to normal when I saw her embarrassed face. I smiled an honest smile "sure"
We slid into bed and she turned to me. "Yesterday, why did you get in bed with me?" I was surprised to find out that she remembered after what happened. "I could hear that you were having a nightmare about when the golem ripped a hole into your home but when I went to comfort you, you grabbed me and I really couldn't get away"
She pulled the blanket up to her nose and blushed, then she looked me in the eyes. We moved closer and closer until Mr. Colbert burst into the room. "We have a few golem sized problems!"
Fluff, a reference, and a cliffhanger all in one pretty short chapter. I think I did well, what do you think? (hollow attempt at persuading you to review.)
