Chapter 16 now moving.
Aztec 13: Well, those encounters were not all by Thornheart.
The group went out the door and looked around for a suitable path.
"Which way do we go?" Kitty asks.
"I don't know, but no matter what we choose, it's not gonna be easy." Gwen states.
Suddenly, Gwen's PDA began ringing.
"Hello?" Gwen answered.
"Gwen, where are you two now?" It was Kate.
"Umm, we are currently in the technological underground of Wawanakwa." Gwen answered.
"Well good, we've searched the entire surface of the island." Kate explains. "We suspect that the rest of the survivors are with you."
"Well, some of them." Gwen explains.
"Not all of them? Well, I've just downloaded a map of the underground. I'll send it to you now." Kate explains.
Suddenly, the PDA projected a hologram of a 3D map of the underground.
"Sweet." Gwen remarked.
"Let's try to meet up in the main control room." Kate said.
"On it." Gwen said.
Then the group followed Gwen as she used the map to find a way to the control room.
"Guys, I kinda forgot to mention something I saw at the computer." Noah said.
"What is it?" Emma asked.
"Thornheart worked with two other men before. Dr Curien and Caleb Goldman." Noah explained.
"We've heard of Curien, he's the guy that launched the first attack, but who's Goldman?" Heather asked.
"He and Thornheart funded Curien's research. After Curien died in the first attack, Goldman used his research to orchestrate the attacks in Venice twice." Noah explained
"Well then, what happened to Goldman?" Emma asked.
"During his first attack, he committed suicide after the Emperor was defeated. But he somehow planned the second attack before that." Noah explained.
"That's pretty confusing." Owen said.
"Maybe it's part of something deeper." Gwen states. "Maybe after this…" She then turns to Heather. "...we could help find out about it."
"Whoa now." Heather exclaimed. "You're not thinking about joining the AMS, are you?"
"Maybe, maybe." Gwen says.
They eventually make it to a T-Intersection, but they hear something coming from the right.
"Help!" Someone familiar yelled.
"What was that?" Shawn asked.
"Someone else is down here." Gwen said.
They ran toward the source of the sound and were met with a bunch of creatures banging on a door.
"Lock and load!" Heather yelled.
Then the two began firing at the horde. Because they were distracted by whatever was past the door, they were easy to take out.
"Now to see what we're after." Gwen said.
Gwen puts her PDA on a keypad next to the door and the door opens. The room looked like it was a medic station, filled with beds, tools and supplies. But what shocked them was something else.
Bridgette, Geoff, Mickey and Jay were in the room. Mickey and Jay were both unconscious on the beds while Geoff was seen stuggling with some medical tools. The worst thing they saw was Bridgette on a bed unconscious. Her forearm has a massive bite mark and is bleeding profusely.
"Geoff?!" Gwen exclaimed.
"What the?!" Geoff yelled.
The group walked towards the injured girl, some gasping.
"What happened?!" Gwen asked.
"Ugh, um… uh… oh man!" Geoff exclaimed.
"Geoff, calm down and tell us what happened." Gwen said.
"Um, okay, so our group went down here to escape these creatures. But then we encountered a huge monster that attacked us and bit Bridgette." Geoff explained.
"And these two?" Kitty asked, refering to the twins.
"These two just, i dunno, fainted at the sight of the monster." Geoff explained.
"Was there anyone else in your group?" Heather asked.
"Well… uh, just follow me!" Geoff suggests.
Geoff walks out the door and waits for someone to join him.
"Heather, Shawn, go follow him! I'm gonna hold the fort here." Gwen instructs. "Take this." She gives Heather her PDA.
"Okay then, show us the way party boy!" Heather exclaimed.
"Let's go!" Shawn yelled.
The three went out the door and ran through the hallways. After a while, as they were about to turn a corner, someone flies at them, Courtney.
She hits the wall, sustaining some briuses.
"Ugh, ooowww. This thing really packs a punch!" Courtney exclaimed.
"Courtney?!" Heather yelled.
"Heather?!" Courtney yelled.
"Heather?!" Someone else yelled, Duncan, holding a pistol.
"What are you doing here?!" Courtney asked.
"Saving your butts!" Heather answered. "Now let's see what we're saving you from."
As the group walked back into the battle site, Heather and Shawn can see more clearly what their up against.
Five heads that look like a mixture of a snake and a dragon with no eyes sticking out of a certain spot. Four of the head are reddish-brown while the middle one is blue. Jasmine was seen on the blue head, trying to stab it with a knife while Lightning and Eva were seen throwing rocks at the other four heads.
"Jasmine?!" Shawn yelled.
"Shawn?!" Jasmine yelled.
"Man, this thing can really keep the Lightning off his game!" Lightning exclaimed.
"You got that right Protein Shake." Eva remarked.
"Hey, don't disrespect my Protein!" Lightning exclaimed.
"Guys! Over here!" Heather yelled.
Then the two regrouped with the squad.
"Wait, aren't you the chick that hit Lightning in the face with the briefcase?" Lightning asked.
"Yes, but now's not the time!" Heather exclaimed.
She takes out Gwen's PDA and begins scanning…
Tower
Type: 8000
Weakpoint: Mouth
"Jasmine, hang on!" Shawn yelled.
"Don't worry, I've got this mate." Jasmine assured.
"Heather, aim for the other four!" Shawn instructs. He turns to the others. "You guys, follow Geoff! He'll lead you to safety!"
"Let's go dudes." Geoff says as the group runs off.
"No, I want to defeat this thing." Lightning complained.
"Let's go!" Eva pulled Lightning with her.
The two then looked at the creature.
"Let's take them out!" Heather exclaimed.
She begins firing at the creatures. They were taken down pretty easily.
"These guys aren't so tough!" Heather exclaimed.
Suddenly the blue one came down and began to slither off.
"What the?!" Jasmine was surprised.
"It's trying to get away!" Shawn yelled.
"Jump on it!" Heather commanded.
The two jumped on the creature and grabbed on before it could get away. The creature then slithered around the halls.
"Can you try to stab it's head?!" Heather asked.
"Gotta get some more footing!" Jasmine yelled.
Jasmine was getting into position but before she could plunge the blade into the creature, it took a turn, causing her to drop the knife.
"The knife!" Jasmine exclaimed.
"What do we do now?!" Shawn asked.
Meanwhile at the medic station, Gwen was waiting outside, trying to defend. When she saw the group running towards her, she smiled.
"Hey guys!" Gwen tried to get their attention.
"Wait, Gwen?" Courtney exclaimed.
"Courtney? Duncan?" Gwen exclaimed.
"What is going on?" Courtney asked
"What are you doing here?" Duncan asked.
"Nevermind that, where's Heather and Shawn?" Gwen asked.
"They just stayed and fought the creatures." Geoff said.
"This is bad." Gwen said.
"Yeah, the Lightning was supposed to take down the creatures." Lightning pouted.
"No, it's just that…" Gwen was about to say until.
"Aaahhhh!" Heather, Shawn and Jasmine screamed as the Tower pulled them through the halls.
"Oh crap!" Gwen exclaimed. She then took out her gun.
"Fire at the mouth!" Heather instructed.
She then began firing at the creature. Suddenly the creature gave out and began to stop slithering.
The three got down the creature.
"Well now I know the experience of almost falling off a roller coaster." Heather said.
"I feel bad about what you have been through for the past couple hours." Shawn says.
"Not now guys, let's get inside." Gwen says.
"Oh, yeah right." Heather said.
Then Gwen opens the door to the medic station and the group walks inside.
