Pilots Meet Mutants
Chapter 4
By: Princess Raye Fire
"You guys I have to warn you. Almost all my powers are useless in there."
"Meaning?"
"I can use my Claws and some of my strength, my heightened senses are almost useless and I won't be able to fly."
"Oh."
"The traps should start 15 meters in, 10 meters apart getting closer together as we go."
They past 14.5 meters and the floor gained intricate designs of circles in circles.
"Don't step on the inner two circles of each square."
Wild Cat went first followed closely by Wufei, Heero, Quatre, Trowa, and last Duo…
"Well that was easy." Duo said as he set his heel down accidentally triggering the last Circle.
"Hit the Deck!" They collapsed them selves to the ground as stone darts flew out of the right wall and ended sunk half way into the left wall.
"Maxwell! You fool!"
"Sorry!"
10 meters later they were, thanks to Wufei, introduced to the wrong side of a flame-thrower. 5 meters after that they were almost squashed by a boulder. Thanks to Quatre. Directly after that…
"Whoa…" Wild Cat fell down but caught her self only to be pulled up by all the five pilots.
"Sorry you guys."
"Shit! What do you eat, woman? Your heavy!"
"Without my strength I can't lift my Adamantium skeleton."
"It's alright but how do we get over?" asked Quatre
"Hey Trowa?"
"Yeah?"
"You said you were an acrobat right?"
"Right,"
"Think you can make that?"
"I can try. Here goes."
"Wait. Jean?"
Yes a ghostly voice answered
"Aid Trowa."
All right The voice sounded more like a wind.
Trowa took a running start did a 360 in the air and landed on his toes on the edge of the stone floor. He started to slip backwards. "Trowa!" He fell.
"Oh, no, Trowa. I'm sorry. I didn't want to get y'all killed."
"Its okay." they looked up and saw Trowa being set down on the stone across from them as if some invisible hand had held him.
"Thanks Jean!"
Your welcome she whispered on the breeze.
"Now Trowa there should be a lever on the wall."
"I found it."
"Pull it."
"What?"
"Pull it. If it's pushed down the mountain will collapse."
"Oh." He pulled the lever and a thin stone bridge extended across the gap like a balance beam allowing them across.
They another 10 meters they found large metal Doors. In the doors were six holes, three in a row some space then three more.
Nicole approached extended her claws to they're full 9 1/2 inches and slowly slid them in the corresponding holes and retracted them after 15 seconds.
And some thing happened.
