Chapter 4- Underground Safe House
The professor's lab was underground. When the four heroes entered, a small man with metal hands greeted them, a ghost of a young boy, and a mummy woman with blue skin. Sir Dan ran in and the mummy woman jumped in his arms, kissing his skull.
"Oh my," said the small man, "what a strange variety of creatures that have been chosen to save the world. I am Professor Hamilton Kift. Magician, inventor and master of the occult." He pointed towards the ghost. "This is Winston." He directed their attention towards the mummy, 'That is Kiya."
"So we heard." Gex chuckled.
"Amazing!" the Professor said, "I giant talking gecko!"
Gex smiled, "Yea, yea don't wet yourself."
"And we have another corpse and a man in super armor!" Kift said, ignoring Gex's smart response.
"I am Master Chief. I am a Spartan, a super soldier built to fight the Covenant alien race."
"Amazing!" the Professor reiterated.
"My name is Raziel, ex-vampire, now soul reaver. I seek revenge on my creator, Kain."
"I'm Gex, a gecko and a couch potato."
"What a strange bunch." Kift laughed, "So what brings you down here?"
"My enemy," Gex began, "Rez took the Zarok spell book into TV land."
"TV land?"
Knowing that this was a safe place, Master Chief took off his helmet and leaned against a wall. Raziel joined him and said, "I did not know you were a human."
Master Chief replied, "Well, now you do."
Then while Dan and Kiya smooched and Master Chief and Raziel talked, Gex explained a television to Kift.
"Do you know where we can get a TV?" the Professor asked.
"Yea, Rez left the one he entered. He must've used that remote to power it."
"If you and Dan get the TV and Master Chief and Raziel retrieve the amulet of power from the museum, I can find a way to use the amulet's magic to power the TV."
"Sounds good to me." Gex said ripping Dan from Kiya, "Let's go Sir Kiss-a- lot."
Master Chief saluted Kift after he explained the mission and headed above ground with Raziel.
Master Chief figured that the museum was the beautiful giant building in the center of Kensington. The front doors of course were locked.
"Follow me." Raziel said when he noticed a ladder running up the side of the building to the roof.
As the reached the top, ten Elites and Grunts were waiting for them.
An Elite yelled something in its bizarre language and the Covenant troop charged.
When in combat, Master Chief and Raziel were the perfect team. Master Chief would take the ones staying at a distance; Raziel would get those who dare come too close. In a matter of minutes, the Covenant was down. Chief was about to continue when Raziel called out to him. "Wait I need to recharge."
Then, he opened his cloak revealing a jawless mouth and sucked the Covenant's souls up.
"Amazing." Master Chief said, "So that is how you regenerate."
"Come on, metal man." Raziel actually was able to let a joke escape, "It's not that amazing."
Then the two jumped through the roof top window, into the museum.
Sir Dan and Gex went the 'shadowed alley' way back to the center of Kensington, to not get in a big tangle. Soon, the television was in their sights.
Before they left, Gex stopped Dan and asked him, "Do you think our reaver friend and the terminator made it okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean do you think they killed each other yet?"
Dan shook his head, "Nah. They both know we have an important mission at hand. They may act competitive because they both know they are the strongest in the group."
"Well, we know they're both wrong."
Dan gave him an inquisitive look.
"Because I'm the strongest." Gex laughed and showed off by doing karate moves.
Dan smiled and shook his head; "Let's go get the TV."
As the skeleton and the gecko made their way to the lone television on the street, they were suddenly surrounded by thousands of Covenant.
"Bright ideas would be good right about now!" Gex said to Dan, but he was at a loss too.
