Chapter 5: Jala, Captain of the guard
"Oh, uh, I'm Ruby," Ruby said, blushing, "Is this the winch room?"
"I'm Jala," the figure replied, "I'm the captain of the guard. The winch room is that way,"
He pointed at a doorway. "Thanks," Ruby mumbled.
She exited to the winch room, but not before she heard Jala say "Brander! Kapura! Aodhan! Come, we are going Rahi hunting."
Ruby came to the winch machine, a large geared mass with a small lever. She pulled down the lever, and let it back, the handle creaking as it pivoted on it's axle. The gears inside began to churn, and she watched in amazement out the window as long pillars rose out of the lava, converging to form a bridge. She skipped out through the guard room, and across the bridge, occasionally using her semblance. She entered through the gate, and took in the bustle of the small town inside. A line of matoran were dancing on the far side of the massive cavern, another matoran ringing out water from a towel, as if he was about to clean something. Someone else was examining some sort of sled, running their metal hand down the side. Ruby walked up to the one with towel and inquired where Vakama was.
"Over there," he grunted in a husky voice, pointing at a door, "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to clean this Toa shrine."
Ruby thanked him and zipped over to the door.
An ancient-sounding voice called from the inside "Come in!"
A/N I am SO SO SO SO SO sorry for neglecting this. Guest, I do not know anything about transformers except that they can transform into cars, so sorry, I cannot do that.
