Chapter 9: Getting out of the Mansion
Killerine: Now what do we have here?
Killerine picks up the shiny metallic object and examines it. After a few seconds of examining Killerine finds out that this the key to the back door of the mansion. Killerine runs to the back door of the mansion inserts the key and the lock clicks telling Killerine her prediction was right. Opening the door, she walk's in and closes the door behind her. As she walks down the hallway she finds a room that she has not investigated yet. She curiously opened the door and lead herself to another room with a staircase leading down in to the basement floor. Killerine walks down the steps and finds herself in a room that she remembers clearly.
Killerine whispers: The counts sleeping quarters.
Count: Yessssss. It's very nice of you to visit Killerine. I must admit that your flessssssh hasssss grown a lot more ssssoft sssssince the last time we met. How I wissshh to bite into your tassssty neck.
Killerine: You! I killed you! I put a stake through your heart!
Count: Yes it is true.
Killerine: Wow I never knew you could talk without dragging your S's.
Count: Well I was killed by you but I am nothing more than a spirit that serves fried potatoes, and meat in spirit world. I'm just visiting here. Also being a spirit it has enhance my speaking abilities.
Killerine: I see. So uh you know where the key to the 3rd story trap door is?
Count: Oh it's in the coffin, but first, you must defeat me in combat! Since I am a spirit, you cannot harm me! Muahahahaha! Hey what are you doing?
Killerine: Thanks. Now all I gotta do is kick some butt get the longbow and then get my shield back and then I'm out of here!
Count: Hmm options, examine character, talk to character, follow character, and trade with character. Hey! What happen to attack character?
Killerine: Dude, you're a spirit npc, you can't attack and even if you could your attacks would go straight through me. Dumbass.
Count: Hmm follow character. Yay now I don't have to click.
Killerine: Sigh. Since when did jagex give npc's their own brains?
Killerine walks up the annoying flight of stairs again opening the annoying creaking door with a retard and annoying count following her for no reason at all while singing itsy bitsy spider went up the water sprout.
2nd floor
Killerine: Damn it! Can't you shut up for a minute and tell me how to open this trap door with this stinking key!
GROWLKillerine: What the hell? How that skeleton with the crossbow get down here and sneak up behind me?
Skeleton: DIE!
Killerine: Shit!
Count: EEEPPP! Please don't shoot me not the face! Not the face! AAAHHHH
Bolts were hurled at Killerine and the Count's direction. Killerine dodge out of the way taking cover behind a column while the bolts seared through the Count's face making trails of whispey smoke around him.
Count: AAAAHHH my face! My face!
Skeleton: God damn it! Oh wait, my bad. Hell hack it! You're a spirit I can't hurt you retard! And you call yourself a count! Even if you still alive I was serving under your rule idiot! Besides you will just recover from your wounds.
Count: AAAHHH scary, smart skeleton that can talk! Run away!
Skeleton: In the name of hell, talk about a retard.
Killerine: Tell me about it. He was getting annoying too. Now where were we again?
Skeleton: Oh yeah my bad, I was suppose to kill you. So you want to do it the easy way or the hard way?
Killerine whacks the skeleton with the hilt of her sword as she unsheathes it. She then follows up with a kick to the rib cage and a chop to the head.
Killerine: Don't I always do it the hard way?
Skeleton: You missed me.
Killerine: Shit! Aahh!
Screaming out in pain again as Killerine was hit by a steam of bolts puncturing into her back creating dark red spots over her tunic.
Skeleton: I was wishing for more of a challenge, I must admit, you are a master of surprise but when it comes to a master of accuracy, my crossbow always hits.
Killerine: Yes, like you said, I am a master of surprise.
Killerine throws her dagger and charges at the skeleton right after she threw it and then throws her sword at the skeleton forcing him to take cover and dodge at the same time and finds himself staring at a open window.
Killerine: Let's see if you can survive a 2 story drop without cracking your neck. Have a nice fall!
Killerine pushes him out the window and grins maliciously when she hears a bone sickening crack.
Killerine: Now let's see where this goes. Ahh right here.
ClickKillerine: Booh yeah.
Killerine climbs up the ladder into a small room with a generator thing and a lot more trash. Walking over to a handle holding the long bow and a set of steel arrow Killerine takes a hammer lying around on the floor and walks up to the case and bashes it open. Taking the long bow and the set of steel arrows Killerine heads back for the ladder down to the second floor to look for Hookman but a skeleton covered with mud jumps up the ladder showing it's menacing look. It was the skeleton that Killerine pushed out the window earlier. How it got up here so fast was unimaginable. Of course falling out a 2 story window did do some damage to the skeleton's skeletal structure. The skeleton had lost a arm in it's fall along with a broken leg yet it's movement speed was amazing. It carried a scimitar in it's right hand and another scimitar in it's mouth since it no longer had it's other hand. Swinging his right hand the skeleton caught Killerine off guard smacking the side of the blade against her face knocking the breath out of her, but still standing with blurred vision. This time he brought the sword down attempting to end the battle but Killerine sidestepped forcing it to lose balance and knocked the sword out of his hand with a hand chop. This skeleton however was stronger than the rest and also a lot more brighter. Swinging his head up the side the blade hit Killerine in the head again forcing her to lose her balance and fall down and hit her head on a pile of broken machinery. The skeleton then walked to Killerine and picked her up by the neck attempting to choke her to death. Just when the breath was nearly out of her and Killerine was about to give up fighting Hookman bursts through the window with a rope tied to his waist firing 5 rounds that were already notched in his bow and then pulling out the dual crossbows he had strapped to his back and fired all 10 rounds of bolts loaded in them at the skeleton's head. When Hookman ran out of rounds he walked towards the wobbling skeleton and did a round house kick snapping it's head off it's neck.
Hookman: Hey you alright?
Killerine: Cough, Cough, yeah I'm alright. Thanks. Anyways here is your longbow and a pouch of 15 arrows. (the pouch however was sealed.)
Hookman: Alright! (handed Killerine her shield and pulled the pouch open and narrowed his eyes at what he saw) Hey! There's no arrows in here! You cheated me!
Killerine: The arrows are over there near the ladder silly.
Hookman: Alright! Now we can finally get out of here! Hey cool I'm level 45 now! Yay I grew like 30 levels from killing that freak! Cool!
BBBBZZZRRRKKKGuy that got them into this mess: Well done. Well done. I'm afraid I have to let you go now. Mumbles some magic words
BBBBZZZZRRRKKKKillerine: Hey where are we?
Hookman: Let me check my compass. Hmm longitude 42, latitude 42. Hmm the map I have here says. God damnit! We're on Crandor Isle! Shit!
Killerine: Damn it. The only way off is through the tunnel and into Karajama and a ship back to the mainland. Damn this really sucks.
Hookman: Hey at least you can take on the lesser, I can't.
Killerine: Hey lend me your binoculars.
Hookman: Alright here.
Killerine looks through the binoculars. Hey there is a crashed aircraft up there!
Hookman: Really! Come on then! What are we waiting for? Let's go!
Killerine and Hookman hike up the mountain barely encountering any monsters. When they finally reach the crashed aircraft they were stunned by the state of it.
Hookman: Damn it! With all these scattered parts, it's going to take hours to repair!
Killerine: Not necessarily. All we have to do is put the bent twigs here and there, patch up the areas of the wing and get a substitute for the handle.
Hookman: Oh alright. I just feel like going around the island picking things up and exposing my back to a whole bunch of wild things.
Killerine: Come on let's get started.
2 hours later
Killerine: Phew! This is tiring! What's taking Hookman so long with catching a couple of shrimps? Hey what's this?
Killerine spots a notebook under a debris of corpses, rocks, and other trash.
Killerine: The soldier's diary. Hmmm.
June 4th N-day
Today we are landing on a noob island base in Crandor. I'm glad I joined the forces resisting the noobs. Luckily we still have a few allies remaining in this this world. We are about to land in 15 minutes. Here I am carrying my wooden crossbow on a small boat built for storming beaches. I hope I can make it out of this alive. I'm also glad that I'm with a volunteer unit. It's good to know that I got guys watching my back and we got some air support 1 hour the assault started. Oh it's time. Wish me luck.
June 4th 10 hours after N-day
We have successfully landed on the beaches and broke through the N-Army's beach bases. The battle was long and hard and some of our boys are still getting killed out on the island. I was one of the lucky survivors. The battle on the beaches was a long and hard one. After I landed I found cover behind some rocks watching the horror unfold. Most of my landing squad was decimated by arrow and bolt fire from the bases. Some tried to jump out the boat early but were either killed by random bolts and arrows or by wind spells. Capt found me taking cover behind rocks and told me to get that sniper crossbow across from me to snipe out those bastards that were raining down on us with arrows and bolts, along with the occasional cannon fires and magic spells. They were tossing everything they had at us like it was candy. The Capt and several other guys that formed a mix unit provided me with cover fire while I made my way to the downed sniper. I was relieved that I made the short trip alive and unscathed. The Capt and the boys did a good job covering me. I took up the crossbow and sniped out those revolting bastards that were killing my brothers. Placing a bolt in each of their heads gave the troops enough time to storm the beach and reach the barbed wires. I made my way towards the Capt crawling and ducking occasionally from infantry firing units. The Capt told me that we had to blow the wires and our demo man was being suppressed with random barrages of cannon fires. Providing a fellow soldier with cover fire we did our best to take those infantry units down before they could get our guy. Unfortunately they got him and I was next on the list. Praying to myself again while I held my saradomain sign, I gathered up all my strength and made a dash for the nearest cover I can find. Running from cover to cover I got to the demo man and he told me the guys that I should pick off. Picking off those bastards with my sniper crossbow I followed him back to the Capt blowing the barbed wires open and made our way up to the bases. We entered the bases from the center blowing the pile of rocks up with constant explosive spells and sword swings. The Capt split the small squad in half. I lead one squad into the base on our right and he lead the other squad to the base on our left. We climbed the stairs to bunkers that were still firing on the boys below. My squad made them pay for all the guys they killed. I signaled the air support to blow this place up. After my signal my squad rushed out of the base taking cover behind some rocks. The invasion was finally over after the bunkers were dead. We took no prisoners. I was promoted to Cpt and we made our way through the vegetation.
June 4th 24 hours after N-day
We took another island base today. I barely survived the battle that took place. The N-army just didn't give up. Half our forces were killed in the guerilla warfare of arrows and bolts today. It was bloody and scary. They were coming from everywhere. My squad was caught in an ambush. My closest friend that I had found again from camp was shot in the neck. I was shot near the collarbone. The medic that was in my squad pulled me out of the action and pulled the bolt out. He mashed some herbs up to stop the bleeding and bandaged me up. By the time the bleeding had stop I found myself in the cot again with the Capt near me. He asked if I was ok. I said yeah. He knew how I felt. He had been through war a lot of times. He lost the ones that were close to him, yet he did not shed a single tear. I guess this is what war does to you. Makes you a cold heart killer. I don't want to be one of those guys, but I have not choice. This is war. It's either kill or be killed. I have to shape up or I will wind up being shot in the head.
June 4th 72 hours after N-day
That was the 3rd wave that came at our camp today. Everytime they come we lose more men. Capt was killed in the 2nd fight, and the LT was killed in the 3rd. That left only me and Sgt along with 8 other privates to defend the camp and wait for reinforcements. What the hell is taking those fly boys so long. Shit. Here comes another wave. If I have to die, I will go done fighting just like Capt and LT.
The rest of the page was all bloody, and illegible. This told Killerine that the soldier was dead. Shame of him having to die so young. He was only 15. Killerine's attention was later caught by the sound of pincers and scuttling. Turning to the source of the sound she found 3 scorpions racing towards her pincers snapping wildly. They were only 15 feet away. She grabbed the crossbow near a dead soldier that invaded the island. Grabbing the bolts also, she loaded the bolts into the crossbow. Firing rapidly without aiming Killerine downed one scorpion, she struck another in the body making it screech in pain but the third scorpion was nearly upon her. Throwing aside the crossbow Killerine drew her sword just in time deflecting a tail stab from the scorpion. She then retaliated with a downwards swing at the tail, cutting it straight off causing the scorpion to screech in pain and promote it's anger. The second scorpion she struck in the body was back on it's feet racing towards her. Making another downwards stab Killerine's sword pierced through the carapace of the scorpion. The blade went through the scorpion's head and with a death screech the scorpion dropped down on it's legs lying lifeless in it's own pool of blood. Stomping down hard on the third scorpion Killerine dazed it momentarily, but this gave her enough time to dish out a couple more slashes on to the carapace before it shuddered and died. Killerine wiped the sweat off her head and sat down breathing heavily. It has been a long time since she had any food and the fight she just went through drained the rest of her energy. As her breathing returned to normal, Killerine's guard dropped down with drooping eyelids. She was soon brought back to the daylight when she heard footsteps approaching. Running towards the nearby cliff she saw Hookman making his way up the island with nets full of seafood, a bunny and a pail of water. Shouting in joy she started making a fire and by the time Hookman got up the cliff to Killerine, the fire was hot enough to start cooking. They barbequed the rabbit and cooked the seafood and drank deeply of the fresh water. By the time they were full it was already sundown. Hookman set up a make shift shelter and offered to take the first watch. Killerine fell onto the ground exhausted from the long day. She was still covered with dirt, dried blood and sweat from the whole day without a bath. She felt uncomfortable sleeping with her armor on but it was for her own protection because anything could attack at anytime and she had to be prepared. Sleep overtook her exhausted body in minutes and she knew no more.
Hookman: Hey Killerine wake up!
Killerine was rudely awaken not by Hookman's shout but by the motor sound of the aircraft.
Hookman: Come on hurry up! Get your stuff and we're getting off!
Killerine: You found the motor?
Hookman: Yeah! Come on! We got a lesser demon below us trying to break through! I dealt a decent amount of damage to it but I couldn't kill it!
Killerine: What time is it?
Hookman: It's 5 o clock!
Killerine: Alright I got my stuff!
Hookman: What are you waiting for then? Get on! Woah!
BBBBBOOOOOMMMMThe lesser demon had broken through the ground and was roaring in fury. It's left eye had a nasty cut over it and it had lost it's tail and there was a scar down the middle of it's stomach. This sudden burst had thrown Hookman off the air craft and was hanging on the verge of death. The lesser demon headed towards Hookman with anticipation in it's heart to kill the puny human that had severed his tail and damaged his left eye. He then felt pinches hitting his skin and turned around. He spotted the female that was shooting bolts at him and she was causing a great annoyance. Changing his mind to rid this nuisance first he made his way towards the human wincing once and then from the bolts. They were nothing but mosquito bites to him and he pulled the bolts out occasionally and his bleeding stopped and patched up after the bolts were pulled out. When he was 4 feet away he was knocked off his feet by another human. This one however held a staff and a dagger.
Kaosmage: Killerine get your friend off that hangover! I'll take down this bastard!
Killerine: Kaos! What are you?
Chronomage: Just go! I'll support him with spells from the aircraft!
Chronomage and Kaosmage had arrived just in time in a aircraft and he is currently circling the perimeter of the island.
Kaosmage: Alright tough guy, show me what you got.
Acknowledging the cocky human's challenge he leapt forward and attempted to slice the mage with his claws. He knew mages weren't good at melee combat. So all he had to do is to hit him once and then he will go down. However he underestimated this certain mage. He was fast and more adept in melee combat than the regular ones he had fought. This one ducked under him and ran his dagger down his chest and went between hit legs and struck him several times in the back and tripped him again with a leg swipe. Outraged that he was outsmarted by such an useless being he decided to burn him in to ashes. He attempted a fire blast attack but he stopped mid way because this mage discarded his staff and ran forward with his dagger. How foolish. He is just running towards his death. Leaning back and building fire in his lungs he was about to lunge forward and spit a ball of flame at him. As he was about to his head was pierced through from the chin into the brain. The fireball built up inside of him and in seconds his body was aflame and the dagger was pulled out. Lying in a heap of the flames the lesser demon disintegrated into a heap of ashes. Kaosmage picked up his discarded staff and gave Chronomage the signal to pick him up. Killerine had helped Hookman back onto the land before he fell onto the pointy rocks below. Panting from the near escape of death Hookman got on to the aircraft along with Killerine and flew off with Chronomage and Kaosmage.
Killerine: How did you know we were here?
Kaosmage: Well, to make a long story short, Carl was behind the mansion scheme and it was a pop test for us, to check if we could handle situations the moment it happens. Unfortunately when he was trying to teleport you back to varrock, some one interrupted the incantation and teleported you guys to Crandor instead. He then made a location spell and located you guys, me and chrono volunteered to come and pick you guys up and that was it.
Hookman: What! You mean it was that old guy!
Chronomage: Eerr yeah.
