Chapter 2
Dark Realm (part 1)
Splash! The A.T.T started its deep sea descent down the tunnel. The pressure was starting to build as the A.T.T descended down. “We are entering a depth of 5,000 metres” said the masked Slig down the radio to the group of Sligs in the cargo bay. The A.T.T was going at such a speed that the rocks surrounding the tunnel were just black blurs in the blurry waters. “10,000 metres” said the masked Slig down the radio. He pushed a button on the console and down in the cargo bay, the diving suit was automatically equipped to the Sligs; breathing masks as well. “Oxygen flow on, approaching 15,000 metres” said Vankor down the radio. The tunnel stretched for another 100 miles but the A.T.T was going at such a speed that it didn’t take too long to reach 90 miles. “Prepare for impact” said the masked Slig down the radio. As the A.T.T reached 99 miles, it started to slow down. “3, 2, 1, destination reached” said the masked Slig, “Disarm hatch”. The vibrating in the cargo bay stopped suddenly as a gun rack detached from the ceiling. “Release automatic harpoon launchers and melee daggers” said the masked Slig. The Sligs in the cargo bay each grabbed a harpoon gun and a knife. “Mission objective destroy radiation source” said the masked Slig. “We are ready” said Admeet on his radio. The Sligs made their way to the airlock. The lights attached to the outside of the A.T.T blackened to camouflage it. Then the Airlock door opened and the group of Sligs started to step onto the sandy seabed.
The Sligs saw an endless expanse of sand and silt. “Wow” said Zaypher in astonishment, “this is unbelievable”. The group started to walk further away from the A.T.T. “Now, where to start” said Admeet looking around. “I think it has started” said another Slig close to Zaypher and looking at his underwater radar attached to his left arm, “we are picking up some life forms heading straight towards us”. The group looked at the direction where the creatures were coming from. They couldn’t see anything for a while. Then suddenly, two white creatures came out of the darkness; they didn’t look friendly however. “Ready your weapons” said Admeet. The harpoon guns were cocked and ready to fire. “Aim” said Admeet. The creatures came ever closer towards their possible prey. “Fire!” yelled Admeet. The harpoons flew out of their guns towards the creatures but all of them missed; the creatures were intelligent and agile.
The creatures suddenly swam upward and started to circle their prey. The group was still shooting at the creatures but every harpoon missed. One Slig however was not shooting at all; the Slig just stood there looking at the creatures. The creatures were just too fast for the group. Even the turrets attached to the A.T.T were not fast enough to make a direct hit. “We are wasting ammo” said Admeet ceasing fire, “we’ll have to resort to our knives”. Everyone on the group agreed and drew out their knives. The creatures stopped in mid air and eyed the group. The group and the creatures stared at each other, waiting for the opposition to strike. The creatures were bearing razor sharp teeth and claws. The masked Slig looked out of the command centre window and waited anxiously. Suddenly, one of the Sligs quickly drew out a harpoon gun and fired twice. One harpoon pierced one of the creature’s skins and the other sank deep into the other creature’s flesh. Blood started to pour out of the creatures as they swam away with fright in their eyes. Admeet just stared at the Slig in confusion.
“What the!” yelled Admeet confusingly, “how in mudo’s name did you do that”. “Well a girl needs to know a few tricks” replied the Slig putting her harpoon gun away. “A girl!” shouted Zaypher, “how long have you been with us”. “Longer then you, brother” replied the Slig. “Hmm, the girl has wisdom” said Admeet, “what’s your name”. “There will be time for that” replied the Slig, “for now, we must carry on”. The Slig walked on towards were the creatures went while the group looked confused. “Well” Asked one of the Sligs in the group. “We follow her; she may lead us to something” replied Admeet. The group rejoined the female Slig and carried on through the dark depths.
