Cyrus Noble II Ch. 25: New Soldiers

It was good to get the band back together. We were sitting in the Helicopter that is now taking us to the secret base location. Finally! We can end this nonsense and everybody can go home! We each had a specialized suit. Each was made to protect us from bullets, mid-evil swords, Knives. I shivered at that thought. I saw Sara smiling as she read that little part of my mind. Magnet had his metal board on his back, to him this was lik going to the skate park, but with more skuz-buckets to kick around. Viktor was covered everywhere except his eyes. Megan had to have a specialized suit that covered her wings. Jazz was jam-packed with tools. On her belt, back, heck there was a place for every kind of weapon on her. But that wasn't the reason I was looking at her.

We were sitting next to each other. After this, I swear, I'm gonna marry her. I have a job here at Broadsword, and we are already raising these kids pretty good. "Hey! Animal!" I jumped a mile in the air as a soldier interrupted my thoughts. "We're here. You ready for anything, dreamer boy?" I smirked at him. "I suggest you'd be careful soldier. No telling who's gonna make it out of here alive. Well, except us that is." He glared at us and left the chopper along with the other soldiers. We followed. I laughed a little when I saw that we were entering a comic book store. We went to the back to where the elevator was. I went down first with a batch of soldiers. We waited at the bottom while the other soldiers and us mutants come down. Gabe said he had an emergency of his own. That's OK. We can handle this.

We explored the secret underground lab. Me in front. The kids behind me, and the soldiers bringing up the rear. There were glass cases all over the place. Some were empty, some were broken, others were occupied by, what I'm seeing on the moniters, dead experiments. I looked back at the kids. Sara had a mortified look. The others staring nervously everywhere. This brought back too many memories. Me included.

We made it to what looked like the remains of an office. The wall on the other end was opened to a small room. In the center was a pad with mechanical arms frozen around and above it. "A teleportation machine?" Jazz said. "Where does it lead to?" Viktor asked. "To wherever Bishop's Masters are." I stepped toward the machine. "Jazz, can you--Whoa!" The machine turned on and it istantly pulled me into it.

I found myself in a cavern. It must have been deep underground. I saw stalagtites everywhere. Or, is it stalagmites? Whatever. Anyway I saw that I was underground. I looked around and saw that there were soldiers coming at me. I got up and as they got close I saw that they had barely anything on. They had armor covering their upper torsos, shins and forearms (and of course mid-evil metal skirts to match). They had helmets that had black eyepieces. They had staffs that were glowering on the end. Great, the Predators Fan-club is coming to get me. I got ready for a fight when one of them stabbed me in the stomach. I cried out and I felt electricity surge through me; I soon passed out.
