Time for another new Chapter. It's going to be hard for me to post recently due to exams. But anyway as always please leave reviews on what you think of My story. Thanks guys! :) OpticFlammingo out!
Chapter 13 Six
"What? How come you never showed me this TK?" Is the first thing I hear from Five.
"You weren't ready. You're ready now." He replies.
"Yeah as soon as the Mogs attack funnily enough." Five says sarcastically. I'm now starting to notice what a sheltered life she's had never leaving these sewers.
"These drawings aren't useful to us. Mog squad move forward!" Brutus shouts. The poor guy is hunched over. Somehow I don't think these tunnels are meant for a 7ft Mogadorien. Sam moves forward with the Mog squad which he's now become apart of. He looks back at the drawings quickly and takes his swords out and follows the rest of Mog squad to scout ahead.
"Um do we have an escape plan because I don't fancy being stuck in a small dark hole trapped?" Marina says.
"There are two cars at the end of these tunnels. I've had safety precautions put in. We have the element of surprise when we leave. We'll get a good head start on them. "He replies. We walk through the tunnels keeping a fast pace although sometimes we stop if we see drawings off us. I see one of me covered in fire with an angry face on. Good I must be fighting Mogs.
I see Sarah writing notes about all these drawings even though TK assures her he's got photos of every cave drawing on his laptop. We here an engine noise and all assume the Mog squad are ready to go. They must have packed the chests and our chimera in the cars already. I stop at the second to last drawing before the one of us and setrakus ra which I saw in India. It's of a figure with black swords on the ground in a puddle of blood. Sam my first thought jumps to. John must see my confusion and comes to see me.
"That can't be- "He starts to say.
"Guys in case you haven't noticed, we're running a little short on time here. Tick Tock. We can study these on my laptop later." TK says with a tone of urgency. We continue to walk through the wall depicting our future. I start to see lights at the end of the tunnel and see Sam and Lola looking very seriously at each other.
"We need to go now" Lola says. As she says this my Chimera and Burnie Kosar jump out of the van and turn into little bluebirds and land on my arm.
"Mog squad and Sarah with me in the lead car. Garde you go together in Nines car." TK shouts. I can see he's worried, he keeps looking back at the tunnel expecting the Mogs to come down at any moment.
"My car!" Nine shouts and runs up to it and hugs it.
"Oh that's where you put it TK." Five says.
"Actually I got told to take it round here" Sam says sheepishly.
"Wait you saw these caves before us?" I say. Why wouldn't he tell me about seeing it? Maybe he saw the cave drawing of him?
"Yeah TK couldn't bring the car round by himself and you know he thought it would be good strength training." As he says this I hear Brutus honking his van. It's a sleek black van with scratches covering it. Nobody would look twice at it on the highway.
"Don't look so downhearted, it hides weapons very well besides you're riding with us in Nine's car." Five says as she walks past me and calls shotgun. I notice a small smile go across Nines face as she says this, then he starts scowling again at her. We all clamber into Nines car and start driving through a dimly lit tunnel. It's covered in moss and my chimera changes form into a dog and sniffs out the window desperately. I still haven't figured out what to call her yet. Nothing quite fits.
We exit the tunnel through a mould covered door and ride the next highway away from New York following TK in the van ahead of us. Five looks out the window and asks all sorts of questions about the things around us like what some of stuff on billboards is. Finally Nine asks:
"Why don't you know what any of this stuff is? It's just cheap ads for fast food chains."
"I've kind of never really been out of those tunnels." Five replies. "It was my home" as she says this her eyes glaze over. We ride the next couple of minutes in silence.
"So how did you get caught? I mean with your powers it seems impossible right?" Ella says eager to change the subject.
"Yeah, you come across the one deaf Mogadorien, Red?" Nine says laughing.
"No the one smart one." She sighs and then continues "Five years ago I was angry at TK for not letting me go outside our tunnels so I snuck out one day by a small air vent. I wasn't thinking when I got out; I ran four miles to New York in my shorts with my scars showing. I was so taken by all of it that I didn't notice a Mogadorian tail. He knocked me out in an alleyway and put me in a van."
"Why didn't you just walk through the van?" Eight asks.
"I was twelve. I didn't have any legacies yet. Anyway when I woke up the van had stopped and I was tied to a chair. The Mog was interrogating me before it killed me, I assume it was to learn about you guys. The Mog said if I didn't talk he would start shooting people outside the van. That's when I realised I was still in NY. I told him random stuff about my training just trying to say enough so he wouldn't start shooting. Then I realised his eyes were glazing over when I talked, I figured something was up so I asked for some water. And sure enough he ran outside and bought some water for me. Then I asked for food and he got that. Then I asked to be let go and sure enough he untied me." Five looks guilty as she says this.
"What happened then?" Marina asks curiously.
"I was about to kill him when TK knocked down the van door to get me. He had somehow hacked into the NY surveillance cameras and knew where I was. When he broke down the door I lost my concentration and the Mog was pissed. He knew he couldn't take me when I wasn't tied up so he went for TK and slashed his legs open."
"Is that how-"I start.
"Yes. I stabbed the Mog in the back and put TK over my back and lifted him into the van and drove to our tunnels and tried to fix him up as best I could but none of my inheritance was a healing stone. Then from that day on TK was in a wheelchair." As she says this last bit she looks out the window staring outside. None of us say anything and soon we all fall asleep one by one except for Nine and Five.
I stare out the window wondering what I would have done in Five's place but soon even I fall asleep as we drive off into the night.
