Coral sat on the roof of the lab with Pearly and Ellidy next to her. She held her head which was aching "Years of research, gone" "Dad will help you get it back" Pearly said reassuringly. Coral sighed "My brother's helped me enough". Ellidy tried to think of something "What about the backups?" "They took those to. They were extremely thorough. Who are these people?" "We're not gonna disappear, are we?" Pearly said worried. Ellidy sighed "I might be able to get in contact with Dr Arthur Mongoose. He had some dealings with these people before. I'll email him and he might be able to help". Pearly cringed "They took your laptop" Pearly said.
Uma and the warriors entered the throne room with their heads bowed "Your Majesty, we must speak with you urgently". They looked up and realised that instead of Striker, Scourge was sitting on the throne. He smiled at them "My friends" "Where's Striker?" "Father has fallen into the sleep. Mother fears he may never awaken again". Uma stepped forward "We would speak with her" "She has refused to leave my father's bedside. You can bring your urgent matter to me". He stood and hit the trident against the ground "Your King". The four warriors exchange glances before all going down on one knee "My King, we would ask that you end Razor's banishment". Scourge sighed "My first command cannot be to undo my father's last. We're on the brink of war with Hot Crater. Our people need a sense of continuity, in order to feel safe in these difficult times. All of us must stand together for the good of Lost Hex". Uma was about to stand but Ian grabbed her arm and smiled "Yes, of course" "Good then you will wait for my word. We're done". They all stand, and stare concerned at Scourge before leaving.
Ellidy was at a computer in a library sending an email. He then got up and went over to one of the bookcases. He takes out a book on ancient mythology. He smiled nostalgically and looked through the book. He looks through the pages and stops on one showing Razor holding up his sword as an aura of lightening around it. Ellidy scoffed. Outside Coral was waiting in the van when she looked down the street saw Razor enter a pet store. Razor looked around the shop but only saw flickys and other small animals "I need a Biter!". The jackal owner looked at him "We don't have Biters. Just Mobani" "Then give me one large enough to ride" "Hey!". Razor looked out the door and saw Coral in the van "You still need a lift?".
Razor was now in the van with Coral who was driving on a desert road "I've never done anything like this before. Have you ever done anything like this before?". Razor smirked "Many times. But you're brave to do it" "Well, they just stole my entire life's work. I don't really have much left to lose" "Yeah, but you're clever. Far cleverer than anyone else in this zone". Coral glanced at him "Zone?". Razor smirked "You think me strange" "Yeah, very. Just who are you?". Razor paused "You'll see soon enough" "You promised me answers" "What you seek, it's a portal. A portal that's created at the end of a rainbow bridge". Coral sighed and kept watching the road "Gaia, I hope you're not crazy".
That night they drive over a hill and see the crater now lit by flood lights and swarmed by G.U.N agents. A square scaffolding surrounded the sword and inside multiple agents were using instruments to scan it. Above it was a lightning storm. They bot got out of the car and lied hidden in the sand. Coral watched through her binoculars "This can't be a satellite crash. They would have hauled the wreckage away by now". Razor grinned and kneeled down next to Coral "Stay here. Once I have the sword, I will return the items they've stolen from you. Deal?" "No. Look what's down there. You think you're just gonna walk in, grab our stuff and walk out?" "No. I'm going to fly out".
In the base a fox was working at a computer "Sir, feed from the keyhole can barely penetrate the cloud cover. Tech's barely working as it is with all the interference that thing's giving off". A human man with a short black beard stepped forward "Anything else?" "No, Agent Stone, we… Wait. We've got something outside the fence, west side". The fox activated his mic "Delancey, Jackson. West side perimeter. Go check it out". Two guards go out to the west side fence and saw part of the fence pulled back. Razor suddenly appeared, punched one guard, took his gun, and butted the other with it. Razor took the poncho from one and sneaked deeper into the base. As he got closer, he heard an alarm go off. Outside the base Coral lied on the ground holding her phone to her ear "Hi, Ellidy, it's me. Don't worry, I'm fine but just in case you don't hear from me in the next hour, just come by the crater site and try to find me, okay? I'm sorry". Razor ran through the base and entered a plastic tunnel. He rushes an agent flipping him. Another tries to grab Razor, but he moved away getting out of his poncho. He grabs the agent and throws him into another. On the scaffolding above the sword Rob could see Razor running through the tunnel. He got on a walkie talkie "I need eyes up high, with a gun". Inside an armoury a female wolf wearing a black cloak over a cream-coloured tube top opened a locker containing different weapons. She reached for a bow and arrow before instead taking a weapon with an umbrella shaped grip and a sphere near the end of the barrel. She then put on a white mask with only one green eye.
The wolf ran outside and climbs into a basket being held by a crane. It raises up and hangs the basket over the Black Sword. The wolf throws four-disc shaped devices onto each side of the scaffolding. She activated her mask and could see through the discs allowing her to see the sword from every angle. She then heard Rob's voice "Whisper? Talk to me". Whisper held her weapon out to where she saw Razor. She flipped a switch and the weapon turned cyan "You want me to slow him down, sir? Or are you sending in more guys for him to beat up?" "I'll let you know". Razor beats up two more guards, turns a corner, and sees the sword. He smiles but is suddenly tackled down. He looks up at a large gorilla guard. Razor grins excitedly "You're very big. Fought bigger". He gets up and punches the gorilla in the face. The gorilla tackles him through the plastic wall and onto the muddy ground as it starts to rain. They wrestle with the gorilla putting Razor in a head lock. Razer elbows him in the stomach freeing him and he kicks the guard in the face. Whisper watched this form her vantage point "Better call it, O 'Hedge, cause I'm starting to root for this guy". Razor now covered in mud made it to the crater and stood in front of the Black Sword. Razor smiled as Rob watched from above "Whisper, wait. I want to see this". Razor put his left hand around the handle of the sword and pulls. His smile turns into a frown as the sword doesn't move. He grabbed the sword with both hands now and with all his strength tried to pull the sword out of the ground but still nothing, he starts to scream in anger. He lets go and staggers backward. He stares at his own hands and then up at the sky. He screams up in fury and sinks to his knees. Rob watched "Alright, show's over. Ground units, move in". Whisper lowers her weapon. Three guards run in and restrain Razor who offers no resistance.
