At the end of the tunnel T-Bone and Razor were following lay a large natural cave, with stalactites eerily dripping water into shallow pools, across from the pools was an amazing array of technological equipment. Creeplings surrounded a small object tied to a stalagmite
Oufffff "what a headache." Leen stirred
The Creeplings squawked and hooted alerting their master.
"SO you've awakened."
Leen was not in a good mood "Thank you captain obvious!" a creepling attempted to get at something in her pocket, she lashed out with her bound feet, sending it flying across the cave.
DarkKat watched calmly "There's no need to be angry, after all you volunteered to come."
"Yeah, I guess I shouldn't be mad, after all the good of the many outweighs the good of the one."
DarkKat smirked "Nobel, but that will get you nowhere, now tell me how to make duralloy!"
Leen looked confused "What?"
"duralloy, you new super armor!"
Leen still looked confused "Sorry, but I don't know how to make this, dan-ally? stuff."
DarkKat grabbed her shirt pulling her off of the floor and snapping the stalagmite she had been tied to. "Don't play stupid with me! you won't like the consequences!" he shouted at her.
She looked at him "Did you really expect me to just tell you how to make it? so you can take over the city?"
DarkKat glared "fine. I have ways of making you talk!"
Leen grinned "Typical villain cliché, can't you be original?"
He threw her back to the floor.
Where the Creeplings jumped on her, one squawked triumphantly as it grabbed the MongoPepper that had been in her pocket.
"Hope you choke" she muttered.
DarkKat stormed off to another part of his lair leaving Leen on the floor, with the Creeplings in a far corner fighting over the pepper.
She kicked several off, and they scampered towards their fellows, she looked for anything to cut the rope she was tied up with. She spotted the severed stalagmite Yes! man, DarkKat is way overrated but I hope the SWAT Kats will come soon 'cause there's no way I'm gonna get away with out help, but meanwhile.. She scooted over to the chunks of calcium carbonate, noticing several sharp points. She grabbed a small piece with a wicked looking edge. Sawing at her bonds she looked around, spotting something she thought to herself Hmm, I bet that's the remote detonator to that bomb he placed at the power plant, I wonder if I could disarm it. The sharp rock cut through the last strands of rope, she pulled her hands in front of herself, massaging her wrists. She reached to her calf and pulled up her pant leg, reveling a small dagger in a sheath. She pulled it out and sliced the rope at her ankles and stood up, stretching. now to stop that bomb she cautiously walked over to the large consol that the remote was on, trying not to alert any of the Creeplings that were still jabbering over the pepper. She picked up the remote and turned it over careful not to jostle any of the buttons thinking okay, this is gonna be easy, just like in the movies cut the red wire Leen then used her dagger to unscrew the access plate, Crud once open she saw not one red wire, but a multitude of blue ones. well, I just have to find the one that leads to the transmitter. she carefully examined all of the wires in the remote finally finding the one she thought was correct she scrunched up her face and held the remote away from herself, as if expecting it to blow-up. I may have to get used to this place 'cause if that bomb blows I won't be able to go above ground for about fifty years. She snipped the wire. Nothing happened, she looked at the LCD, Transmitter Disabled scrolled across the screen WHEW she sighed.
One of the Creeplings looked her way and honked, the other Creeplings looked up too, squawking. Several of them took off down the passage DarkKat had taken but the others swarmed toward Leen.
