Chapter 29 Sam
I crouch along the corridor holding Six's hand. I know we're invisible but I still don't feel comfortable knowing my father's going to see Setrakus Ra.
"He went this way." Six whispers. I follow her lead and start to realise that I've fallen in love with her. Focus Sam I scold myself. Suddenly a squadron of Mogs come barrelling through the corridor armed to the teeth with all sorts of nasty weapons. We hold our breath and slowly move past them, at one point a brush against one of them and he stares at me for a moment. He looks away and continues to walk with his squadron.
"That was too close." I whisper to Six. I feel her hand drag me forward and we continue through the maze of tunnels looking into everyone that looks like where my Dad could have gone. We finally stop at a set of large obsidian doors with engravings of grisly deaths.
Six lets go of my hand. "I'm betting he's in there." She looks at me and smiles. I smile nervously at her. She kisses me quickly before saying,
"This isn't a suicide mission Sam. If you see your dad in trouble, we'll do what we can but this doesn't end with you dead on the floor."
"Well that just ruined the moment." I reply. She looks deadly serious.
"Six is there something you need to tell me?" I ask, worry starting to climb up my throat. She looks towards the ground.
"Six?" I ask. She looks up at me sadly. I realise she isn't joking about something being wrong.
"Remember the cave walls TK showed us? I saw an image of a person with two swords bleeding to death on the ground. You're the only one with those swords. Sam you're going to die." I stare at her for a moment. I had my suspicions when TK refused to let me see the walls.
"I know." I say realising now that TK knew who I was and that I would die.
"You know?"
"I'm not going to die Six. I have too much to live for. We're going to go in there and kill Setrakus Ra and end this War. You can go back to Lorien." I say finally even though it's killing me on the inside.
I'm not going to die
I start to camouflage myself and open the obsidian door slowly. Six follows my lead at least I think she does. She's turned invisible when I finished my last sentence. I crouch down slowly and move across the room. It's almost pitched black except for a light at the end of the room. Like moths to a flame I walk towards it hiding behind large black pillars holding the room together. I star to hear voices and run closer behind a pillar.
"No news of experiment Zero." My father says. I peak round the pillar and see him kneeling in front of a giant grey square throne. I look up and see him.
Setrakus Ra.
He rubs the side of his face and moves his hand to the giant purple scar covering his neck. His face looks like a shark, untrusting and malevolent.
"That's disappointing brother." My eyes widen. My dad said they were friends, I consider John my brother that's all he meant.
"I'm sorry but experiments one through ten will be ready to be deployed soon. I promise there will be no rebelling at a small cost."
"What small cost?" Setrakus Ra sits up straighter and stares at my father. I notice he rubs his cane; the eye starts to glow blue. I feel myself tense up.
"Seeing as they don't have the same genetic material you gave Zero, there strength is signicantly lower."
"LOWER!" Setrakus Ra booms. "When I asked for your services I expected the best! You make me a Mogadorian army and in exchange your human family is kept safe from my war!"
"Ra, I can explain…" Suddenly my father contorts, his eyes start to bulge and his skin turns a faint blue. He starts to float upwards and I see Setrakus's cane eye turn purple. I start to remember what that eye can do. Flashes come back to me of my time in the caves. Him pointing that cane at me and feeling like it was destroying my insides then getting those things put around my ears turning me into a raging monster.
"The time for explaining is over brother. I want my army. I want experiment Zero." I feel the rage boil inside me. I'm not losing my dad again. I walk past the pillar towards Setrakus Ra.
"You want me. I'm here." I grab one of my twin blades and throw it at his chest. He starts to laugh and easily deflects it. It wedges itself into a nearby wall and I feel myself lifted up into the air. My father is dropped to the ground like a sack.
"Let me go!" I shout. He looks at me like he's examining an animal which is about to be gutted.
"You're a strong one aren't you?" He answers. "Yes, but you haven't failed the Mogadorian race yet."
"What do you mean by that?" I ask trying to break free of his hold. I struggle but it feels like a giant pair of hands is squeezing me until I start to choke for air. The sword wedged in the wall starts to gently remove itself from the wall. I start to realise Six is doing this and if I keep Setrakus busy she can stab him in the back.
"You were designed with special genetics. You're like no other Mogadorian." He answers calmly spinning his cane in the air. My father stands up awkwardly and looks at me and Setrakus.
"Go on brother, explain." He says coldly. My eyes widen at the way he's speaking to my dad like he's nothing.
"We didn't just take your samples for the clones, you were given some of Ra's DNA that's why you're strong and can disappear" Setrakus laughs boom off the wall and I feel myself put gently on the grounf too shocked to move.
"You are my heir. You are the heir to the Mogadorian throne." He starts to laugh again. Suddenly I hear a slice. His face clenches in pain and he reaches behind him and pulls out a black sword it drips with blood. He throws it away into a corner.
"SIX NOW!" My father screams. The air starts to crackle and I feel my hairs stand up on end. I run to my fallen sword and pick it up. A flash of lightning hits Setrakus Ra and he falls to the ground. I stand in shock. Six stands behind him visible looking shocked.
"It's over…" I whisper. "It's over!" I cheer. Six starts cheering as well whilst Malcolm stares in shock looking at the dead Setrakus Ra.
"Six move!" He shouts suddenly. Setrakus Ra stands up and hits Six against a pillar which crumbles and breaks. She falls to the ground but before she hits the ground she starts to float in the air like a ragdoll.
"YOU THINK THAT A KNIFE AND A BIT OF LIGHTNING CAN KILL ME!" He booms. I run up to him and launch myself in the air swords in hand aiming for his throat. Suddenly I feel myself stopped mid-air.
"One last chance Zero. Join me and live or die with the Loric. I need an heir." He whispers to me. I spit in his face.
"I will never join you." I say filling every word with pure hate. He looks disappointed.
"That's a shame." He grabs me with his hands and throws me across the room towards the hard wall and I prepare myself for death. I have one last thought before I hit the wall.
I am not going to die. Nobody is.
