Chapter 11
Blaze
We all shut our eyes. Neither one of us wanted to see what would happen to us when the Kagors opened the door.
"Keeoor keeo keeeooor not kee!" Funny, I thought they didn't speak English.
Well, maybe a little.
The clicking and footsteps started again and soon it was just clicking. The Kagors never opened the door.
I opened one eye. Then another. The rest of us look at each other.
Halen opened the door. He was closest. One by one, we piled out. We were all squished together.
We all sighed in relief.
"That was close. I think we should go find Slash now." I said.
Everyone else nodded.
Quietly we walked down the halls. It was still dark. The torch still in my right hand, I brought my left up to it and lit it on fire again.
The halls got lighter. I put out the flame and put the torch in a door. Luckily, it was a closet type thing.
We got to a door that said "Keeeooeeor" on it. Kagor language.
"Hey . . ." I said. "There was a closet not far away. They might have a translator in there."
I quickly and quietly ran back to the closet. Practically threw everything out of the way. Finally, I found one.
Wow. What a coincidence. I thought to myself.
I ran back to the others. Searched through the weird words and finally found "Keeeooeeor" in it. They had a whole bunch of alien languages and other languages that existed on Earth. I found English.
"It means 'cages.'" I said.
"Good. Slash might be in here." Hardrive said.
I nodded. Halen grabbed the handle and pulled the door creaked and opened.
Slash was there. He was bleeding badly.
"Slash!" We whispered quietly.
"Shh!" He yelled.
Slash quickly pointed to a Kagor sleeping in a bone chair.
"He can wake up at any moment. He just fell asleep," Slash said. "Get me out of here!"
The prisoners looked horrible. Spiked cuffs in their wrists. Chained to walls.
Obviously they did something really, really bad.
Halen and I walked over to the sleeping Kagor. We eyed his utility belt thing and it had keys on it.
We both unsheathed our swords quietly.
Then at the speed of light, we slammed them into his stomach, then pushed them deeper.
"KEEEEOOOOR!" The Kagor yelled.
The Kagor threw a punch at us. We ducked just in time. His head swung around a bit before dying.
Halen and I pulled out our swords. Cleaned them on the ground. It was kind of stupid, but hey, we were on the moon. Tell me that's not stupid.
I dug around the utility belt. Found a golden key with a big hole at the end.
"Bingo!" I said quietly.
Halen and I quickly walked over to Slash's cage. Put the key in the lock and turned it. The cage squeaked and opened. Slash ran out.
Mina instantly grabbed his hand.
"Are you okay? That's a pretty good gash." She said.
"I'm fine. They put those Spiked Cuffs on me for a while. They hurt, but I'm okay now." Slash explained.
"How'd you get in here?" Turv asked.
"I'll tell you later." Slash said. An alarm started to go out. "Quick, free this dude over here." Slash pointed to a yellow fox. "He knows how to speak Kagor. He might come in handy."
I ran over to him. Put the key in the cage and opened it. Ran over to the fox and started to unlock his cuffs and chains.
"My name's Neo." The fox said.
"Blaze," I said quickly. "C'mon!"
I finally unlocked his cuffs. He ran out quickly.
Neo was fast. He must have escaped a few times. You probably have to run pretty fast to outrun these Kagors.
"We have to free the others!" Erik shouted.
"No!" I yelled. "Someone's coming!"
Neo ran back into his cage and shut the door. He pretended like he was in his chains and cuffs. We all piled into the cage Slash was in.
Kagors ran into the room. They dashed over to the dead Kagor.
"Keeooor kee keeo keeeooor!" One shouted.
They ran over to Neo.
"Keeor kee ko keeor kee?" The Kagor shouted.
"Keer kor keor kroer ke." Neo said.
We all blinked.
The Kagors came over to us. Blinked. Said a few words and then left.
"What'd you tell them?" Hardrive asked once we were out.
Neo was out, too.
"That someone came in here and killed him. If they are in a hurry they can be kind of dumb sometimes." Neo explained.
I nodded.
The alarm stopped. I opened all of the prisoner's cages. Asked every one of them if they were a member of The Detonators. None of them were.
More Kagors came into the room.
"Crap."
