CHAPTER 8 - ON BOARD REGULUS' SHIP
All seven Legionnaires -- Invisible Kid, Superboy, Cosmic Boy,
Phantom Girl, Duo Damsel, Colossal Boy, and Brainiac 5 -- aboard the
Mark III were thrown out of the craft when it was split in two by the
sun-powered blast of Regulus. Luckily, no one was hurt.
The seven teenagers knew what they had to do in a situation such
as this. With the assistance of their flight rings, they flew toward the
massive golden ship of their unknown opponent.
Superboy was the first one to reach the huge space vehicle of
Dr Regulus. He wasted no time in ripping off a large panel on the lower
portion of the ship. The hole Superboy made was more than large enough
for the Legionnaires to enter.
When they entered the craft, they were amazed by the immense
size of it. There were catwalks, pipes, wires, ladders, and numerous
passageways. This, they could tell, was not even the hub of the ship
and it was huge. An enormous circular shaft extended, it seemed, upward
for infinite levels. On each level corridors extended out in every
direction like the spokes of a wheel. At the far end of the room there
was a circular staircase that went up as far as the eye could see.
"Man, will you look at the size of this!" Colossal Boy remarked.
Even Brainiac 5 was surprised at what he was seeing. "It is,
indeed, a large vessel."
"The trouble is," Cosmic Boy said to Invisible Kid, "we haven't
a clue about where to go on this ship."
Invisible Kid nodded in agreement. He said to everyone, "We're
going to have to split up and explore this ship. I would imagine that
the bridge is somewhere near the top and we're at the bottom right now."
"Don't you think we might get lost?" Duo Damsel asked.
"It's a chance we'll have to take," Lyle replied. He looked
toward one passageway. "Lu, why don't you and Tinya go together down
that way?"
The two female Legionnaires on the mission nodded and walked off
together down a long passageway that no one knew where it was headed or
ended.
Invisible Kid then pointed to a ladder. "Colossal Boy, you head
up that way."
"Okay, Lyle," Gim answered.
The remaining four Legionnaires walked a short distance until
they reached another passageway. "Cosmic Boy, you go that way and keep
in touch."
Rokk nodded and began walking cautiously down an unknown path.
Invisible Kid pointed to another passageway going in the
opposite direction. "Brainy, this one is yours."
Brainiac 5 began his journey into the bowels of the mysterious
ship.
"Okay, Supes, you think you can head up that way?" Lyle asked
while pointing straight up.
"Sure thing, Invisible Kid," Superboy said and flew straight
up into the enormous circular shaft.
Invisible Kid, himself, started to climb the circular staircase.
Where they would all wind up, he had no idea.
On the bridge of the ship, Dr Zaxton Regulus had watched the
Legionnaires all the while on one of his many video monitor screens.
He, of course, laughed when he saw the teenagers split up.
He rubbed his two gold-gloved hands together in glee. "They're
playing right into my hands," he snickered again.
