[Abe16]

Chapter 9:

There were mudokons spread about the mine field. Some on ledges with UBX bombs by them. Abd sligs, slisg were guarding them. Well, not so much as guarding as sleeping. So had to sneak, but also jump and land ever so softly, that he won't wake the sligs. Abe looked at the area. Here's how the Area looked; Abe was standing right in front of it. ANd right in front of Abe, were three mines with gaps in between each one. And on several ledges, were mudokons scrubing, with UBX bombs right beside them, leaving a clear edge for someone to climb up. And then there was a slig. Five sligs to be exact. They were nearby a mudokon who was surrounded by UBX bombs. Abe scowled at that.

Abe hopped the first three mines and looked at the sligs who were sleeping. Not a sound. So far so good. Abe crept to the first ledge, climbed up and tried to disable the UBX bomb. No problem, he thought. But these ones were no ordinary bombs. On them, they had a special device, for you needed to access a system. 'Top of the notch security,' Abe thought.

"Let's see here, um, press blue button to start, ok... done. Now match he number with it's opposite and each color with it's same." Abe whispered to himself.

Just a couple of seconds later, Abe had finished his first Advanced UBX bomb. He had about three more left. So Abe got to work. Carefully trying his best not to wake the sligs off or sound off any alarms or worse, have the bomb explode, kill him, and his mudokon friend and alert the sligs. So Abe ended up disarming bombs.

"Pssst, hey!" Abe whispered to each one.
"Hey Abe!" They all said back.

Abe had led them off the ledge, so quietly, and had them jump over the mines so quietly, that one mud got cocky and tried to run out of the area while running. He bumped into a wall. Which woke one slig up. Abe signaled the others to sneak fastly. And they did.

"Well, here you are. A quiet sanctum for you guys, for now anyway." Abe said smiling.

THe mudokons ran to the back of the room where no one could hear them and play. While Abe left to find more mudokons. As Abe went along, the number of mudokons on the status board kept changing. All the time.

Employees at Work: 54
Guards at work: 34
Casualties:21

Then...

Employees at Work: 41
Guards at work: 20
Casulaties:34

And then...

Employees at Work: 12
Guards at work: 7
Casualties: 47


"Mike! Take a look at this!" Exec. Sean gestured over at their Status Board.
"Oh my god, this, this all that Abe guys fault!" Exec. Mike said.
"And we only have 7 sligs on duty! What're we supposed to do in a situation as like this one!!" Sean paniced.
"Attention all personel, get yer damn slaves and yourselves to mine and Exec. Sean's office immediately. Do it!" Exec. Mike said over the inter-com.

Abe heard this decided to save the mudokons near the portal first. He ran thorugh the halls, past the banks, through the gates and over the benches and reached the sanctum. The mudokons were chatting up a storm in there, with glee, worry and excitement.

"Ok, ok settle down folks. This must've been one of our ancestors bird portals, I, I guess. So, I'm gunna try and use this. Yodoyodoyo..." Abe chanted.

The portal Flashed with emmence light and brightness. The portal seemed more holy when someone chanted, some of them thought. But that light and Abe's chanting had echoed off the walls of the slient bank...

"Hear that!?" Sean asked.
"Sure do, you sligs. Go find the source of whatever that is and kill it." Mike ordered.

The mudokons were shy and scared. They stood in a group and silently muttered to each other.

Half of the mudokons were gone inside the portal when the sligs, acting like they were apart of the SWAT team, came in. A slig motioned to Abe and the portal. The other slig nodded and went in. ABe's chanted had abruptly stopped.

"FREEZE!" The sligs said.

Abe and the mud's had their hands up fast. The two other sligs walked out of the room, going to report to Mike and Sean, which was a stupid idea leaving one slig in a room full of 40 mudokons.

"...." The slig sweated and gulped.
"Go beat'em up!" Abe yelled.
"Let's go!" the mud's said, grinning as they beat up the helpless slig.
"Now let's do this quickly before they come back! Yodoyodoyodo..." Abe chanted again.

The mudokons jumped in and cheered for joy, but that was when Exec. Sean and Exec. Mike came in with the 12 mudokons and the two sligs. One foolish mud tried to jump in the portal quickly, but was shot down. Abe jumped at that.

"Well, well well. If it our little friend, Abe the terrorist. We were watching what you were doing, and thought if we buffed up our security forces, we might have a better chance at killing you. But that didn't work, so I decided to go the easy way; Taking a shot at you. And, once we kill you. My personal velt slig right here will push a button his a remote which'll signal my blimps in the sky, causing them to drop UBX bombs and mines all over the mudokon villages spread out in the forest.

"I have captive enough mudokons, so that I need none of the ones who will be slaughtered by the bombs! SOme may think what me and Mike plan is inhumane, but heck! We absoulutely do not care! Hahahahahahaha!" Sean crackled again.

"It is inhumane!" ABe yelled out. That's it, take him and his friends to the slaughtering room, *whistles*." Mike ordered.

Two Big Bros appeared from the dark and shoved them towards the direction of the slaughtering room. The room was a pity. It kind of looked like the room where Abe was in at the started of Abe's Oddysee. And that's exactly what it reminded him of. The two sligs glared at Abe and his friends. Not soon after, the Big bros turned to each other and talked, leaving the mud's out of their line of vision. Abe silently broke of a piece of metal from the floor and was about to climb into it when... Swish! The doors shifted open.

"Just where do you think you're going?" Sean asked.
"Get yer damn body outta there." Mike asked. Abe glanced around and hesitated.
"Follow meeee!" Abe called out as he fell down the hole he made, which actually turned out to lead some place. 6 of the mudokons followed, while the other 6 were shot, and one shot mudokon who was wounded made it down the slide.
"Where the hell is he headed!" Sean ordered.
"Sector M4 sir," The Big bro said.

So Sean, Mike and the Big Bros were headed to where Abe was going. But where Abe was going, well, was a mystery to Abe...
