HI! That's right, this is it! Chapter 9, the chapter before the
elusive chapter 10! I'll tell you if anyone guessed where the Crystal
Element is at the end of the chapter! On with chapter 9, which I codenamed
the 'fight' chapter! Let us begin!
Chapter 9
A Mysterious Guest
Within five minutes it was done. The call was made. Z could only hope that his plan would work, if it didn't, they were toast. "Okay, I'm done" Z breathed, trying to steady his quivering voice. "Now what do we do?"
"Put up the defences, arm the troops and ready our weapons. It's the only thing we can do." Mickey was right; it was the only thing they could do. He beckoned. "Z, Lirael? Come with me, I'll show you what we have." Mickey spoke softly, but there was a power in his voice. He opened the door and led the two of them down a long flight of stairs.
They passed the sitting room where Ratchet was reloading his pistols, then went down another flight of stairs, longer this time, twisting into the cellar.
Mickey opened a large metal door in to a huge room. The room was made entirely of stone bricks with wooden shelves supporting bottles and large barrels of wine scattered around. But the thing that Z noticed first were the creatures inhabiting the room.
There was a large cage to his right, containing three lizards the size of rhinos. In front of him a group of soldiers were trying desperately to restrain a huge red dragon, black stripes the colour of darkness lining his body. Smaller, vicious creatures were enclosed in cages, or running free through the cellar, drinking wine and smashing bottles.
"We have many different types of creatures here." Explained Mickey as a group of warriors walked past, rolling a large cannon mounted on a trolley. "As you can see, we also have many powerful weapons here. This should be enough to keep the army at bay, granting us time enough to observe whether your plan will work. If it does not we will have to find some way of escape."
Z nodded. They'd just have to hope the plan worked. There was a loud bang behind them as the metal door opened. It was Tidus. "Mickey! I have an important message for you!" Mickey turned to face him. "What's wrong?" "Someone is approaching Abhorsen's House."
Mickey frowned. "Just one person?" "Yes, One man, he does not seem to be armed and is travelling by Paperwing to the landing strip. Should we shoot him down?" Mickey thought for a moment. "No. Send five armed troops up to meet him. If he's an enemy he'll be outnumbered. If he's not we won't be making any mistakes we may regret." Tidus nodded. "Yes, sir." He turned to leave.
Z looked over at Mickey. "I'll go up to meet him." Mickey nodded. "Okay, but be on your guard." "Don't worry. I'm always on my guard." Z drew his pistols and ran back up the stairs.
Daz was nearly there. Five more minutes and he would come down to land. Then it would just be a case of bluffing himself past the security, eliminating the enemy and taking the Crystal Element.
The plan was, if Z were there to meet him, Z would still think Daz his friend; therefore he would let him into the house. And once he was in he would simply take the Crystal Element and make his exit, leaving the Mulldack's army to do the rest.
The Paperwing began to circle around the house, dipping lower, coming in to land. Daz noticed five armed guards standing on the landing strip, but they did not matter. He would kill them all if he had to, anything to get the Crystal Element. He may even have to kill Z, who had once been his best friend, but he did not care. He showed no emotion at all as the Paperwing came in to land.
Five minutes later Z stood on the landing strip as the Paperwing came gliding down. Daz climbed down from the vehicle and seeing Z he smiled. Z smiled to. Daz was alive! So it had been him who had sent the message. "Daz! Your alive!" He walked towards him, gesturing to the guards that all was well. "Yes. Glad to see you're here Z." Z frowned. There was something wrong with Daz, there was a glint in his eye and the smile on his lips was all to obviously fake. Something was different about him.
Z chose to ignore it. It was probably just the ordeal he'd had. "Come down into the house, have something to eat. You must be famished and we have so much to tell each other." Z led Daz down the steps to a long corridor, which led to a large oak door.
Z opened it. It led to a large sitting room. There was a small desk at one end, a sofa against the wall and a small window to Z's right. The room was virtually empty, apart from a small plate of sandwiches, which had been left over from earlier.
Z smiled. "Take a seat." He said. There was no answer. He turned around to see Daz standing next to the oak door. He had locked it. "There's no need to lock the door. We're safe here." Daz said nothing, he stepped forward. Something was wrong. Why was he acting so strangely?
Then Z saw what Daz was clutching. His pistols! Daz had taken his pistols! Daz took a step forward, walking past Z over to the window. "Daz, why did you..." Z's sentence was cut short. Daz had thrown his pistols out the window! There was a soft thud as they hit the grass below. Daz shut the window, locking it and pocketing the key.
Now he knew something was wrong. Daz smiled briefly before drawing a large double-barrelled laser cannon from his lab coat. Z was in trouble. He was locked in a room with his old friend, who for some reason wanted to murder him. He was unarmed, his pistols were gone and he had given his knife to Lirael when they had arrived at Abhorsen's House. The only thing he did have was his last Concusser Grenade attached to his belt, but if he used that he'd blow them both to kingdom come.
Daz raised the cannon. "Give me the Crystal Element!" He rasped, his voice was not the same. It seemed ancient, inhuman. "I don't have it!" Screamed Z, he stepped backwards, rattling the door. Sure enough it was locked tight.
"Give it to me!" Daz loaded the gun. Z was angry. Why did his best friend want the Crystal Element? And why did he want to kill him?
"I don't have it!" Z was sure Daz would shoot him. He needed a plan. Daz snarled. "I'm giving you one last chance. Give my the Crystal Element or I'll empty this double barrel into your head!"
Z looked into his eyes. He meant it. He was going to shoot him. Daz's finger rested on the trigger. "Okay, you had your chance. Now your times up, enjoy death!" Z waited until the very last second, he waited until Daz pulled his finger backwards, ready to fire. Then he leapt. The cannon fired, two huge red lasers streaked past Z as he leapt to the ground. They smashed into the wall behind him, leaving a crater the size of a dinner plate and completely vaporizing a small picture of the seaside, which had been nailed there.
Z was lying on the floor before he knew it, Daz reloading, ready for the next shot. Z rolled forwards, dashing behind the sofa. He would be safe there. For the moment anyway. He needed a plan.
He felt the impact of the next shot, it vibrated across the sofa as part of the seat exploded leaving a cloud a feathers everywhere. Daz reloaded, putting another shot into the sofa, it would not stand up too much more punishment.
Z thought quickly. He had a plan. He waited until Daz begun the loading process, before rolling out from under the sofa and sliding heavily into Daz's legs. Daz had not expected such an assault and toppled to the floor, the laser cannon flying from his grasp, hitting the desk behind him and bouncing onto the floor.
Z got to his feet before Daz could even blink and rushed towards the cannon. Daz lashed a foot out striking Z above the knee. It was not a powerful hit, but it was enough to stop Z in his tracks, plenty of time for Daz to scamper to his feet.
He wished he hadn't bothered. As soon as he was up Z hit him with a punch to the stomach followed by a powerful uppercut. Daz tried to hit back, his punch catching Z in the shoulder.
Z flinched, before striking out with his foot, straight into Daz's groin. Daz bent over, wheezing at the blow. Z swivelled round, kicking the laser cannon into his fist; quickly he reloaded, turning to face Daz.
But Daz was ready. He lashed out at Z's face, who just had time to block the assault with the cannon. Z struck with his foot, twisting his body. The back kick – Ushiro-geri – one of the most lethal in karate. The blow hit square on Daz's abdomen. He didn't even have time to cry out, contorted with pain he crumpled to the floor.
Z pointed the cannon at Daz's heart. "You'll pay for betraying me!" Snarled Z. He loaded the cannon. "Never!" Roared Daz. He leapt to his feet and before Z even had time to pull the trigger, Daz was on him, savagely attempting to rip the cannon from Z's hand. He succeeded. The heavy pistol flew through the air smashing through the window behind them.
"Fool!" Daz smirked. "Now I'll have to kill you with my bare hands!" Now it was Z's turn to smirk. "I doubt it." Daz narrowed his eyes; Z had began to dance round him. "Now its time for you to die!" Screamed Daz, he rushed at Z, but the boy was already gone, having skipped nimbly away.
Z laughed as Daz turned to face him. He had a point. Daz was twice his age; he could never keep up with him in terms of agility. He'd have to win by brute force alone. Daz came at him again, only slower this time, readying himself for a full powered punch. "What's wrong granddad?" Joked Z. "Run out of gas?" With that Z swung, the punch hit into Daz's side with considerable force.
Daz grabbed onto Z's hand. But he did not let go, he began to squeeze. Z clenched his teeth, Daz was breaking his wrist and he couldn't get free. Z swung round, forcing his entire body weight into pulling Daz to the floor. Daz twisted round, but it was too late. He crashed to the floor, landing heavily on his back, but still he would not let go of Z's wrist.
Z pummelled him with his free hand, but he refused to let go, as if driven on by some uncontrollable force. He had to do something, his wrist was snapping. He looked around for something to help, Daz was lying next to the desk. Z scanned it for something useful, there were piles of paper, a roll of sticky tape...there! Just what he needed! Z reached out with his free hand, snatching a large glass paperweight from the desk.
Daz saw it and was about to let go when the paperweight came hurtling through the air, smashing into his forehead. The blow would have been enough to knock out a normal man, but Daz was under the power of the Mulldack's potion and refused to give in.
He struggled and kicked, but Z held him tight by the collar, he hit again with the paperweight. This time blood was spilled and Z heard someone knocking on the door, but he ignored these things, concentrating on Daz.
"Traitor!" Z screamed, hitting Daz again and again with the paperweight. "Traitor!" Daz was still not unconscious, the spell would not let him, but he was close to death now and if it had not been for the fact that the door burst open, distracting Z, he may well have died.
"Z!" Someone screamed, it was Lirael, she rushed into the room along with Samos, Mickey and a few other soldiers. Lirael grabbed Z's arm, restraining him. Z understood, he dropped the paperweight and turned to face his friends.
"Z, step back, I'm afraid your friend is not well." Samos stepped forward, inspecting Daz. "He's no friend of mine!" Snapped Z. "He tried to kill me. He said he wanted the Crystal Element, he was sent by the Mulldack. He's a traitor!" "No." Said Samos. "We noticed something was wrong when we heard shouting and gun fire. The door was locked, so we broke it down. A few more minutes and it would have been to late. Your friend here would have died. He is not a traitor, I can see by the way his eyes gleam he is under the influence of Dark Crystal Potion."
Z was not convinced. "What the hell is that?" Samos explained. "Dark Crystal Potion is a liquid substance made from liquidised Dark Crystal. It makes the victim do whatever the master desires. In this case the master was the Mulldack, your friend was sent here to take the Crystal Element, or half of it. He is not a traitor, he had no idea what he was doing." Z nodded. Now he understood. So the note had been to lure him here? This Mulldack creature was smarter than he'd thought.
"Daz isn't dead is he?" Mickey shook his head. "No, but a few more minutes and he would have been. He may have brain damage though, but it's doubtful since he was under the influence of potion." Z nodded. Good.
"So, you will be able to get him back to normal, right?" Samos nodded. "Yes, we do have a remedy, it will take about half an hour to take effect though." "Okay. How long until the army arrives?" "No more than forty five minutes. If your plan dosen't work by then, we'll have to evacuate."
Z nodded. He was pretty sure his plan would work, but if it didn't they'd have to move on to plan B. He hoped they didn't have to. Plan B was more than a little risky.
"Now," Said Z. "If you'd excuse me I'm going down to the garden to fetch my pistols."
The Mulldack was not happy. The news that Daz had failed had reached him quickly and he was not amused. But still, it did not matter. He had hoped his plan would work, but it hadn't, so he'd have to move on to plan B. Even without the Crystal Element he would still be triumphant.
There was a loud bang behind him. "Who dares enter my chamber?" The Mulldack screeched, it wad like nails on a blackboard. "It is I, master." The Mickey creature had entered. "What is our next move master?"
The Mulldack thought for a moment. "Attack Abhorsen's House and take the Crystal Element if you can. It is risky though, so be careful. Also, assemble three hundred thousand troops and be ready for the attack on Mickey's palace. I don't want this messed up."
"Yes master! Of course master!" The Mickey thing bowed low. He wanted to ask the Mulldack a question, but the Mulldack had already read his mind.
"Yes. You can finish Mickey of yourself. Kill him when you take over the palace." "Yes master. I shall." He bowed once again and left the room, the huge doors slamming behind him.
And so, chapter 9 comes to an end! Next it shall be chapter 10! What will happen when the Mulldack's forces attack Abhorsen's House? What will become of Daz? And will Z's plan work in time? All will be revealed next chapter! And now I shall tell you that not one person guessed correctly where the Crystal Element is! So quickly, guess again and be ready for chapter 10, when even more will be revealed! And remember my motto, keep reviewing! I need a new catch phase...any suggestions? Anyways, Seeya!
