Chapter 16
Slash
We walked all around the Kagor's fortress. It felt like we were walking in circles.
"Are we there yet?" Erik asked for about the hundredth time.
"No, Erik . . ." Blaze moaned. "And don't ask me 'are we there yet' again!"
"Okay . . . Are we there inow/i?" Erik said again.
"Erik!" The rest of us yelled.
"Sorry . . ."
I yawned. It was probably like two o'clock in the morning. I was exhausted.
"Neo, have you found it yet?" Turv asked after a while.
The loss of blood was slowing us down. Otherwise we would be fine.
"Weird . . . On the map, it said there was another passage . . . But I can't find it," said Neo.
We were back by Lord Kromazor's office again.
"I'm going to go get the map," Neo said quickly. He ran into the room and soon came back with the map. "Hurry up. When he comes back he'll see this map's gone. Right away he'll think we did it."
We all ran quickly away from the office. Neo studied the map.
"Eight hundred and seventy-six . . . Eight hundred and seventy-six . . ." Neo said quietly to himself. "There it is. Let's go."
Neo leading, we walked down a hall to our left. Neo didn't look where he was going. His map was the only thing he was looking at. He turned where he needed to, but never bumped into anything.
The rest of us watched for Kagors. Once and a while they came up to us and we fought them. They mainly went for Neo since he had the map. I guess Lord Kromazor knew we had it already.
"Okay. The map says it should be right here," said Neo. He walked over to the wall on the right.
Nothing was there. It was just a wall. He ran his hand across it, looking for a hidden lever or something. Neo found nothing.
"Does it say anything on the back?" Hardrive asked.
Neo flipped it around. It was blank.
He shook his head. "Nothing. There must be a panel or something . . . A hidden passage . . . I'm desperate!"
"Let's look in the other doors," suggested Halen.
"Good idea," the rest of us said.
Neo leading, he walked to the door to the left of the wall where the Healing Room was supposed to be. He opened the door. It was a Supply Room. Many weapons and things were in it.
"Alright! Weapons!" Blaze shouted.
He ran over to a wall of them and studied them.
"Everyone get one," Neo ordered. "They might come in handy."
The rest of us went over to the wall. I picked a mini-bazooka-looking gun. It was normal sized. But it looked cool.
I looked at a shoulder belt of ammo. Took it and put it across my chest.
"Everyone should get one of these too," I suggested. "Or just a bunch of ammo."
Mina was the only one who didn't get a belt. She had a large bow-and-arrow which she strapped the little bag of arrows to her back with the string. She grabbed extra arrows.
"Next room," Blaze said quickly once everyone was finished.
I hooked my mini-bazooka to my belt and followed.
Blaze leading, we went in the room to the left of where the Healing Room was supposed to be.
More supplies in boxes.
There were labels on the boxes in Kagor words. Neo read a lot of them and he stopped by one and grabbed a little circle machine. A small red button was on the top. A blue ring was in the middle with a mirror-looking glass thing in it.
"These are what we need. Everyone grab one." Neo ordered.
We did. I looked at my little machine weirdly.
"Let's go."
Neo, the rest of the Raiders, and I walked out the door. We went to the wall.
"Okay. Everyone hold their button down. Make sure the glass part is facing the wall. Supposedly a door should appear," Neo explained.
We all did so. A door soon appeared.
"Yes!" We all cheered.
We ran in the door.
And an amazing sight was in front of us.
