Ch. 9 Infiltration
"Now if I were a map piece, where would I be?" Will asked this question as he search through the drawers in the room he and Ryan were searching. Ryan looked down and sighed.
"I think I know the answer."
"Then what's the answer?" Ryan unsheathed his daggers.
"With Kane." William unsheathed his daggers as well.
"I don't like that answer." They had been searching the fortress for hours with no sign of the final piece. They ran down the halls searching for Kane. "How long do you think it will be until Adam and the Fleet arrive?" asked Will. Suddenly, a cannonball that had rammed into a clockwork came flying through the wall.
The clockwork was screaming mechanically," Ah!" Ryan looked at Will.
"I think they're here." After running for about five minutes, they arrived in Kane's throne room. However, what they saw was not working in their favor. Every Elite clockwork they had ever faced were standing around Kane. Cadiz, Bishop, Phule, Deacon, and a rebuilt Rooke. Ryan knew for sure that they need back up.
As soon as they arrived in Valencia, the Fleet was in battle. Every ship fought any ships they could hit. After a while, Adam went to the wheel and looked through the telescope. He didn't like what he saw. It was Ryan and Will about to fight Kane and the Elite clockworks. He looked at Autumn, who was fending off about fifteen clockworks at once.
"Autumn, how long will it take to get this ship to the Machine if I run it through the big window?" Autumn knocked all of the clockworks overboard.
"About five minutes." Adam slammed his fist on the wheel.
"We need an opening. Otherwise, we'll never reach Ryan and Will in time." Adam looked up and saw a burst of electricity destroy fifty Armada ships, giving them a clear path to the Machine. He turned to the right and saw Admiral Brave with a ball of electricity in the palm of his hand.
"Here's your chance. Take it!" shouted Brave. Adam nodded and turned the ship towards the path. In five minutes, they would crash through Kane's fortress and end this war.
