When we arrived, we were deep in an underground cave. Artemis struggled to his feet, and I looked around the shuttle to try and find out who was the owner.
"Did you find anything?" Artemis asked.
"Perhaps…" I held up a bunch of truffles. "Could this mean…"
Artemis sighed. "I certainly hope not."
I shook my head. "We never get what we want, Artemis…" I looked over the shuttle. "But perhaps we can slow her down somewhat…"
"What are you planning to do?" Artemis groaned.
I pulled out some explosive devices. "There's an air shaft right there. Let's walk out, and I'll drop these into that little cave. Boom."
Before he could protest, I grabbed Artemis and pulled him out while I blew up the ship.
No way was Opal gonna destroy the world on my watch.
Or so I thought.
