Aww! You guys are too sweet to me ^^ I luv you all!
Emerald chased Mia through the next two corridors. "Mia!" she said, her bandages bleeding. "I can't do this with her here! Yea, she can give us access to the Core, but how much do I need to sacrifice so that the Roaches and Drones are put down?!"
Mia pouted, gripping the crossbow. Jacob sighed. "We need teams. It's better operation." He said, standing behind Kalel. Raven nodded.
Jayden pulled out a black notebook from her dark blue hoodie pocket.
Team 1) Kalel, Raven, Mia, Emerald, Stan
Team 2) Kelly, Kenny, Skye, Tweek, Kyle
Team 3) Jacob, Red, Drake, Black, Jayden
Team 4) Craig, Clyde, Dan, Raquet
Jayden wrote the teams out and glanced at Mia. "Happy now?" she said, showing the book to everyone. Mia sighed quickly and nodded. "Yes. Let's go." She led Team 1 through the corridor on the left. "How do we talk to people then? I mean, the other teams." Stan said, following Kalel through the door. Raven shrugged. "I guess we just meet them when we're done." She said, close behind Emerald.
Mia reached in her backpack and pulled out a yellow flashlight. The bright light reflected in one of the sewer shafts that led under the core's reactor. "This way," she said, pointing down a dim tunnel, aligned with cheap yellow lights. Raven looked down the four options at the end. "Crossroads- which one do we take?" Mia looked in every tunnel. "Kalel and Stan, go through the first. Raven the second; Emmy the third. I'll take the fourth." Emerald nodded, proceeding to go down the third. "There's grates down there- we can talk through them right?" She said, already down it. Mia tilted her head as a reply. "Yea, good thinking Emmy." She ran down the last tunnel, edging at an intersection. There were voices, echoing. She pulled out her crossbow, aiming for the appearance of the three, over-sized, Dark brown and copper Roaches that had silver guns, each with a liquid purple-green mixture in the guns. She gulped, taking a small slow breath and turning the laser on. She aimed for the creature, a glare in her eye and an glowing red arrow in her crossbow, before pulling the trigger.
Kalel was halfway down the tunnel, Stan behind her. "I'm sorry that this happened…" He said, sitting near a grate. Kalel stopped. "Why? It's not your fault..." She tried to hide her blush. "I know… but… I feel so bad that you have to live with this, Kalel." She turned her head. "Stan, we need to go through there, it's the only way we can get back to Team 1…" she said, pointing to a crawlspace that crossed paths with the second tunnel.
"I can go through first."
"No, it's okay. I'm going,"
"No, Kalel, I will. I don't want you to get hurt…"
Kalel looked at him, and blinked. "I'm not going anywhere…"
Stan closed his mouth, leaning into Kalel. Their faces weren't hiding in blushes now.
Kalel opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. Stan leaned closer to her. TWPING!
The ear-splitting screech echoed extremely loud down the tunnels. Kalel could hear a ringing deep in the back of her head. What happened? Two more loud cries.
"FUCK!" A loud scream came from the last tunnel. Kalel gasped. "Oh no!" Stan took her hand, both running out of the maze-like underground from a fire-escape air vent. Mia burst out of the tunnel, firing un-silenced arrows at the large Roaches. Emerald swung under the sewer's passage, and Raven ducked under the metal steam poles. Mia threw herself over the steam poles, and into the darkness. She felt shuddering from behind her. "It's okay Raven, it'll be okay." She said, whispering as the monsters cast shadows over the little light they had under the poles. Mia stopped breathing. The Roaches growled, screeching again. Mia closed her eyes. A pole slashed it's way beneath her, she stuck closer to the wall. Raven covered her mouth, quivering. Mia looked up and a sharp edge had hit her bottom lip. The right side began to bleed, a small stream of blood trickled down her chin. Everything seemed to move in slow motion. There was a pounding in her head as she heard her friend's screams. She coughed, and blood was in her hand. She felt her body hit the wall; A force much stronger than her own was above her- holding Mia in place. She watched Raven get taken away, to the pods. She could feel her eyes begin to close. 'No… I promise you- I'll save you all. Even Jayden. Raven, be brave… I know they smashed the Steam poles. I know they invaded the Fire escape and the Air vents. I'm sorry, Kalel. I'm sorry, Stan. I know that… they intruded the Sewer passage. I'm sorry, Emmy. I know that the other Teams have probably been compromised and captured. But if it's the last thing I do- I will free you. And I will track and kill the Drones and Roaches.'
You guys are the BEST! Next chap may be a while, but no worries! I'll try to update tomorrow ^^
