The smurfs felt their skin freeze, knowing that their freedom and potential fate now rest in a steel door that is 15 centimetres thick. Chernov didn't know what to do, for once he did not know what to do as he hadn't anticipated they could be found within 72 hours. He felt no fear nor worry as all of his fellow smurf brethren tremble in terror, the only thing he feels... is vengeance.
"Chernov!" cried Engie's voice that only Chernov can hear, "Get the smurfs out of here!"
"How?" he muttered under his breath.
"The humans block the front door right? So sneak out the back door."
Chernov realized that there is a way out, but it's a claustrophobic 8 cm diameter pathway that stretches about 70 metres. It leads to the top of the mountain where the smurfs can hold the high ground, but he had no plan in defending his former home. The entrance to this escape tunnel is in the back room, where Chernov and the smurfs first meet.
"Smurfs," said Chernov, "Get to the backroom, I got a plan."
"What are you smurfing?" asked Papa Smurf.
"I'll ask questions later old timer," said Chernov, "If you want to see the light of day free than in the death grip of a sapien, I suggest you learn fast and make sure the knowledge sticks, I'll meet up with you in 5 minutes."
"Okay smurfs," said Papa Smurf as he waves them over to the back room, "You heard him, hurry!"
All the smurfs rushed to the backroom as Chernov gets to work on setting a trap for the NSA, there was a canister of Sulfur mustard and Chlorine gas under the sink. Chernov quickly used all of his muscle to drag the two canisters back to the main room where he had all of their electronic caps wired to explode when the front door opens, dispersing the contents in a yellow-brownish haze.
Chernov knew the electrical workings of the lab well, so it was easy for him to wire the canisters to the door in ease. Once he had everything set up, he paid one last visit to his mom in his birth room. He opened the refrigerator door and opened his mom's container, Chernov couldn't bear the thought of leaving her again. "Goodbye mom," said Chernov, he bends over and kissed Engie's cheek. The plastic that Engie is encased in felt like rubber and tasted like salt.
"Don't worry Chernov," he heard his mother's voice in his head, "You've freed me son, I will always be with you for every step in the way."
Chernov felt chills run up his spine, he's beginning to think he's losing it. So he quickly sealed the lid back on Engie's container, shut the refrigerator door, put his backpack/ jet pack back on, and ran as fast as he can back to the smurfs waiting him in the back room. "What took you so long?" asked Hefty.
"Paying my last respects to my mom," said Chernov, "Just in case I'll never come back here."
Chernov opened a door in the counter and pushed aside several chemical bottles, revealing the hidden back door that he never knew it existed. He opened the door and an 8 cm pathway going straight up. When Chernov stuck his head inside it, he was amazed at how high it goes. "I'll go first," said Chernov, "Who knows what's waiting for us at the end of this tunnel."
Chernov starts up the small latter as Papa Smurf follows behind him. One by one the smurfs climbed their way up the latter in an effort to get to the top as the NSA struggles to get the door open, "What is taking so long?" barked Drick at the NSA conscript who was having a hard time to pry the door open with a crowbar.
"I don't know how to open it sir," said the conscript.
Drick soon eyed the electronic number pad on the door as the cadaver dogs scratch at the door, that's when he suddenly had an idea. "Does the Wunderwaffe have a last name Gargamel?" he asked.
"Reznov," said Gargamel, "Chernov Reznov, why?"
"Sometimes people use their last name for these number pads," said Drick, "Lets see, 7, 3, 9, 0, 8, Enter."
The small green LED light below the number pad flashed green along with the clicking sound of the metal door unlocking, "He's such a dumb ass for using his last name as a code," laughed Drick as pushed the door wide open.
The smurfs were just about out of the tunnel and onto the summit of the mountain where they glimpse a view of the horizon, it was a horrifying sight. The whole sky was red as a fire rips through the forest, devouring life with the speed of a cancer. Chernov was unfazed by the forest fire as he secretly enjoyed it, probably because of his appetite for destruction.
"This isn't smurfy," muttered Sassette, "Not smurfy at all."
The smurfs suddenly felt a small explosion beneath them, they rushed to the edge where they saw NSA troopers and armory randomly positioned all over the place, then they saw what appears to be Gargamel, Drick, and several NSA troopers running out of the laboratory entrance as a cloud of yellow-brown vapor follows them.
A couple of the NSA troopers were coughing profusely as another collapsed onto the ground, Gargamel and Drick were unharmed from Chernov's trap. "What did you do to them Chernov?" asked Papa Smurf.
"Gave them chemical burns," said Chernov, "We should go before their wounds turn ugly."
With the NSA distracted by Chernov's trap, the smurfs managed to sneak off the mountain as Gargamel was horrified by Chernov's trap. Drick approached the collapsed NSA soldier and checked his pulse, "He's dead," he announced, "Chemical burns got to him."
"The Wunderwaffe is very smart when it comes to war," said Gargamel, "He knew we were coming, so I'm not surprised of this mishap."
"I see why you want to kill this Wunderwaffe so badly," said Drick as he placed his hand over his eyes, then shot his arm down, "At least we know where they went."
He turn towards his NSA squads and said with a firm voice as he points towards the mountain, "Burn about two kilometres of land around this mountain, scorch it until there's nothing left!"
