Chapter 24
'Well Sarah was right about one thing,' Ryo thought, 'I am slower in water.'
As Ryo was swimming toward one of the whirlpools, he noticed something, 'It's quiet,' he realized, 'too quiet.'
That all changed when he heard the whistle of a spear go by. Ryo dodged the spear and looked behind him, 'great,' he thought, 'more of Talpa's tin cans.'
As the soldiers swam closer, Ryo began to engage them in hand-to-hand combat. The fighting was fierce and Ryo soon realized that he would have to go to the surface to get air. Swimming upward, Ryo felt a soldier grab his ankles and pull him down deeper. Ryo was able to kick the soldier off of him and make it to the surface.
On the surface Ryo was met with archers, 'this is perfect,' he thought as he dodged the arrows, 'someone knew that I was coming.'
What he didn't realize was that the person who knew he was coming had just dove into the water and was heading right for him.
Jazalyn, Sarah, Melody, Melissa, and Brian were standing on the bridge, "I hope Ryo is okay," Sarah sighed, "He's not strong in the water."
Jazalyn looked over the bridge, she thought she heard Ryo armor up, but the next thing she heard chilled her bones. "I think Ryo walked right into a trap," Jazalyn said numbly.
"What makes you think that?" Melissa asked.
"I just heard Sekhmet laughing," Jazalyn replied as she began to shake.
"WHAT!" Sarah and Melody yelled at the same time.
"If Sekhmet's here, then that means…BLOODY HELL!" Brian yelled.
"What?" Melissa asked.
"He's come to kill Cye," Brian replied.
"Don't worry," Sarah replied, trying to calm everyone down, "Ryo can handle the situation."
All five writers looked down from the bridge only to see Ryo getting blown out of the water. When Ryo landed on the bridge, Jazalyn and Sarah came running, "You okay?" Sarah asked, trying to comfort her partner.
"I can't move," Ryo gritted, "my whole body has been paralyzed."
Jazalyn started the place her hands around the sub armor areas, "Can you feel my fingers touching your palm?" She asked Ryo.
"No," Ryo replied, "I can't feel anything. I guess Sekhmet's poison is stronger in water than it is on land."
"Then I'm going down to protect Cye," Brian replied as he got to lip of the bridge.
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN FREAKING MIND!" Sarah yelled.
"No," Brian replied calmly.
"Then don't go," Sarah stated.
"I have to do this," Brian said, ignoring Sarah's words, "If it were Ryo, you would do the same thing."
With those words, Brian jumped into the water.
