Hey, guys. Back with yet another chapter. One I'm sure you guys have been excited for. The escape from Sakaar! It may not be as good as you hoped, but I'll try my best.
I apologize for taking so long to update. But, I just started college a few days ago! Yay! Unfortunately, it has consumed a lot of my time getting ready for it, and my classes and schoolwork will continue to do so. So, expect updates less frequently. I'll try my best to update, but no quarantees on frequency.
Let's get to it.
Chapter 6- Escape from Sakaar
"Revolution? How did this happen?" Grandmaster demands as he and Topaz enter the throne room.
"Don't know. But the arena's mainframe for the Obedience Disks has been deactivated and the slaves have armed themselves," Topaz responds.
"Whoa!" Grandmaster says, stopping short, and Topaz stops as well.
"I don't like that word!" Grandmaster says. Topaz, feeling very confused, asks, "What? Mainframe?"
Grandmaster feels a little exasperated. "No. Why would I not like mainframe? No! The S word."
Topaz sighs and says, "Alright. The prisoners with jobs have armed themselves."
Grandmaster waits for a moment before he says, "Okay. That's better. That's better."
"Grandmaster!" Both Grandmaster and Topaz turn to see Oliver walk up some stairs.
"Oh, good! My chief guard! Just in time. My gladiators have risen up, and the Lord of Thunder has stolen my champion," Grandmaster says, getting very worked up.
Oliver smirks a little. "I know," he says. Both Grandmaster and Topaz look at him in confusion.
Oliver chuckles a little, then glares right at Grandmaster. "I'm done being your enforcer, Grandmaster. I've had enough of your bull****. So, I helped the Lord of Thunder escape."
Oliver quickly draws an explosive arrow and fires it at a window, blowing a large hole in it. Everyone else in the room instinctively ducks to avoid any glass. Grandmaster is the first to straighten up, and he stares at Oliver in shock.
OIiver grins broadly. "I'm out of here, Grandmaster," he says. He then fires another arrow, this one with a time delay, into the ground, before he leaps out of the window and fires off a grappling hook arrow. Right before the arrow he fired into the ground bursts open, and a shockwave knocks everyone off their feet.
Grandmaster manages to get back on his feet, and looks out the window. He can see Oliver just disappear behind a skyscraper, swinging on a line from a grappling hook arrow. Anger starts to rise in him.
"You will regret crossing me, Oliver Queen!"
(The hangar, shortly after)
Thor smiles as his hands dance over the controls, working to power up the ship. "It's just another spaceship," he whispers to himself.
Soon, everything is ready, and he activates the engines. The ship quickly takes to the air and streaks out of the hangar. Thor laughs to himself as he maneuvers it among the buildings.
It doesn't take long before the Grandmaster and his cronies realize what's going on. In the hangar, some of his guardsmen start taking off in their ships. As they do, Topaz herself starts warming her ship up, smirking, eagerly awaiting the chance she's about to have.
The Grandmaster issues a broadcast over Sakaar's broadcast system. "Loyal Sakaarians! The Lord of Thunder has stolen my ship and my favorite champion!"
Ships, led by Topaz, come streaming out of the hangar as a massive hologram of the Grandmaster pops up, continuing the message. "Loyal Sakaarians! Take to the skies! Bring him down! Do not let him leave this planet."
Thor maneuvers the ship out of the way of a large skyscraper as one of the Sakaarian ships come in on his tail and begins firing. The bolts deflect harmlessly off the Commordore's shield before Valkyrie comes in on her ship and destroys the ship on Thor's tail.
In the cockpit, Bruce cheers and says, "Good shot!"
"Thanks," Valkyrie says. In the seat on the other side of her, Oliver grins, feeling a little good to be in a real fight after so long.
Valkyrie flies her ship up under the Commodore, and opens the canopy as Thor opens the bottom doors on the Commodore.
"I hope you're tougher than you're look!" Valkyrie shouts to Bruce.
"Why?" he shouts back. He gets an answer a moment later when his sheet shoots up out of the ship, throwing him up into the bay of the Commodore. Bruce almost goes sliding right back out, but manages to keep himself inside.
Valkyrie turns to Oliver. "Just do it," Oliver pre-empts. Valkyrie grins as she launches Oliver up to the Commodore too. Unlike Bruce, he easily stays inside the Commodore.
All of a sudden, a swarm of laser bolts surround the two ships. A large formation of ships has come up behind them. And in the lead is a golden ship, with Topaz in the cockpit.
"Shouldn't we be shooting back or something?" Bruce shouts as he staggers up towards the cockpit of the Commodore.
"Yes, we should. Where are the guns on this ship?" Thor responds, directing the question to Valkyrie over the radio.
"There aren't any. It's a leisure vessel. The Grandmaster uses it for his good times. Orgies and stuff," Valkyrie says as she tries to avoid Topaz' fire.
"Did she just say the Grandmaster uses it for orgies?" Bruce asks.
"Yeah. Don't touch anything," Thor says in a voice of slight disgust.
The fire from Topaz increases. Valkyrie pulls up alongside the Commodore to split Topaz' fire, firing her tail guns back at Topaz. Unfortunately, Topaz scores the first hit when a laser bolt hits one of Valkyrie's ship's engines.
Valkyrie looks at her screen, which is displaying the damage level. Realizing her ship isn't gonna make it, she grabs her Dragonfang, then clambers onto the outside of the ship.
Back in the Commodore, Thor and Bruce look on in horror as Topaz closes in on Valkyrie's ship and fires again. This time, the ship explodes.
Topaz laughs, while Bruce and Thor shout, "No!"
Oliver just smiles. "Wait for it," he says.
A moment later, Thor and Bruce can see a figure flying through the air towards them. A moment later, Valkyrie lands on the window and grabs hold of one of the outside panels.
Bruce cheers, and Thor shouts, "Get in here!"
"In a minute!" Valkyrie shouts back before turning around and leaping off the Commodore to begin attacking the ships on their tail.
"Here. Queen. Take the controls," Thor says.
"You got it," Oliver says as he slides into Thor's chair and straps in. Thor turns and walks to the bay before leaping out to join Valkyrie.
A swarm of laser bolts surround the Commodore. Oliver, whose piloting skills have increased since he arrived on Sakaar, snaps the Commodore into a tight left turn. His sudden turn surprises some of the ships on his tail, and one unfortunate one is unable to match his turn, and crashes into a skyscraper.
Oliver barrel rolls to avoid another round of laser bolts. In the copilot seat, Bruce is shouting at the top of his lungs. It makes Oliver chuckle a bit.
Watching the radar screen, Oliver can see the number of ships dropping rapidly. "Man. They're kicking *** out there," he says with a chuckle.
A fresh round of particularly fierce fire envelops the Commodore. Oliver snaps the ship into a hard turn. Looking out the window, he can just barely see that it's Topaz' ship that's behind him.
His gaze hardens. He has hated Topaz since the moment he met her, and maybe even hates her more than Grandmaster. Now, he finally has the chance to do what he's always wanted to do.
"Bruce. Take the controls," he says calmly.
"What?" Bruce says in alarm.
"Just do it," Oliver says as he pulls his bow off his back and walks back to the bay.
Oliver jumps out of the bay, while firing a grappling hook arrow. Using the cord, he swings himself up onto the top of the Commodore.
Bracing himself against a ridge on the top of the ship, Oliver turns to face Topaz' ship. Glaring at her ship, he reaches back to his quiver and draws an explosive arrow, fitting it to his bow.
In her ship, Topaz can see what Oliver is doing, and fear starts to grip her, realizing what he's doing. But it's too late. Oliver draws the arrow back and takes aim. After a moment, he says, "I've wanted to do this for so long." Then, he releases the arrow, which flies right to the cockpit window and explodes, destroying the front half of the ship and killing Topaz.
Oliver watches the wreckage fall with a grim satisfaction. Then, he turns to the front of the ship and runs towards it, leaping off the front and firing another grappling hook arrow, using it to swing up into the bay.
Oliver wordlessly walks up to the cockpit and retakes his spot in the pilot's seat. Bruce looks at Oliver in amazement, wondering whether he or Clint is the better fighter.
A few moments later, Valkyrie and Thor jump up into the Commodore's bay. Oliver glances back towards them as he says, "Guys. We're coming up on the Devil's Anus."
Valkyrie walks up and takes Bruce's place in the co-pilot's seat. Thor then straps in behind Oliver, and Bruce straps in behind Valkyrie.
Oliver keeps the Commodore low until they're almost right below the Devil's Anus. Then, he pulls the ship into a steep climb, right into the wormhole.
The inside of the wormhole is just as turbulent as they expected. Fierce winds and pieces of rubbish batter the ship from all sides. But Oliver keeps the ship on course.
The Commodore streaks up into the depths of the wormhole. The light starts turning white instead of white, and the four passengers can feel the ship shaking violently.
They're on their way to Asgard.
