Chapter 5 - What a drag!
Abe wanderd around, wondering what to do next. He walked past a status board and looked at it:
Executives: 9 Retired: 0
Security: 154 Retired: 156
Workers: 1 Killed: 0
Abe glunched. Did he kill 156 sligs? Damn that is many... where there 310 sligs employed? That many? That was three sligs for every Mud...
'Acording to the board Im the only one left...' Abe mumbled while he was walking softly trough the large hall. Actualy his work here was done so basicly he could make his way to the front door and walk out. But he feeled like he still had one more thing to do. Revenge on the executives... and revenge on Molluck. Holding that thought he was now on his way to the board room, hoping to fnd everyone ratherd there. But when he just had to climb a few ledges down the get to the trapdoor above the confrence room, the red light alert struck Rupture Farms once again. Abe looked up at the info banners that where spread accross the walls:
Gas line triggerd: 1:00 minute and counting.
'This aint good...' and he quikely started climbing down the ledges. He had to roll under some meat grinders to get to a lift taking him down to the trap door. He looked up at a banner:
Gas line triggerd: 0:16 seconds and counting.
Then he quikely peeked trough the little hole in the trapdoor.
8 gluks, 2 sligs standing at the platform... with the shut off lever. Damnit! He needed his shrykull power, but he had to charge it first. It would take way to long.
Ten seconds to spare when he suddenly saw a single mud working in the shadows. Abe was confused, the only one being here was him, so the status board said.
He looked harder then smiled of confusion. It was the wise mud from the stockyards.
'You look like you need help he said and started chanting as they had no time to lose. Soon the birds flew in and formed the portal.
'Il get you your special power some other way,' he said before jumping into the portal. The portal stayed open.
Abe waited and waited... he would never make this! Suddenly more birds flew through the portal tordwarts Abe and they just got absorbed in his body! The portal closed when at least twelf birds where absorbed by him in jest a mere two seconds.
He looked up, feeling the energy of his power streaming to his body.
0:05 seconds and counting.
He didnt have a doubt. Kicked in the trapdoor and jumped down. The gluks and the sligs where supprised to see him but did'nt hasitate to start firing.
'Kill him!' the gluks yelled. But it was to late.
Abe unleashed his power and tranformed into the mythical Shrykull. A creature with the head of a paramite and the body of a scrab. Of him came strains of lightning stiking all the gluks, killing them and meanwhile the sligs suffert the same fate.
When all was dead, Abe hurryd to to lever on the platform and pulled it. The red light alert died...
The timer being verry cliche by stopping at 0:01 seconds.
'I should stop watching those James Bond movies...' Abe sighted.
He looked over to the pilles of asshes on the little platforms over at the wall and closed his eye's for a second... what a relieve... it was over...
Yea right... for Abe it was...
Without knowing two sligs had enterd and hit Abe to the ground with a single strike of his gun. They drug him accros the ground to the final room hed ever see.
And here he was... he hangs there all alone, his wrists tied up to ropes in the ceiling standing in a strange circler platform.
On the wall he reads things like: Molluck sucks! **** Rupture Farms! Rather dead then a slave!
He once shook his head in grieve.
When the door opend, his heart skipped a beat and he swallowed his fear away... wel at least he tried to.
Along with the slig Molluck walked in stopping only a few inches away from Abe.
The slig had his hands on the lever and asked: 'Now boss?'
Molluck had a laugh and looked at Abe, looked at him so mean Abe could die of fear in this case.
'Yea...' he mumbled, 'kill the basterd.'
'No please no! No No!' Abe begged, which ofcourse had no single effect when shutting down a gluks intire factory.
Underneath him opend a hatch, it revealed a grinder underneath him and Abe just hang right above it.
'Please!' he begged again.
The slig already tensed his muscles to puch the lever when suddenly a lightning bolt struk the guy. Molluck was looking at it totaly confused.
'What the hell?' he siad, quite scared just before also he was struck.
The slig fell uncounsios and Molluck tried to stay up, but failed and s\joined the slig.
Abe looked at the gluks creepy body, he never saw a gluk without his clothes on, let alone being fried.
The glukkens walked on their hands so it seems... making them have realy long arms.
Then the bigface suddenly came out of nowhere and started chanting. Abe felt the energy flowing trough his body as he noticed the bigface was chanting him out of this dreadfull place.
Abe splatted out into birds which flew away, then the bigface also splatted and joined Abe to whereever they where going. Leaving Molluck and the slig all alone in the factory.
