Dark Realm (part 2)
As the group carried on, the water slowly became murky. “What’s with the murkiness” asked Zaypher. “We are getting closer” said the female Slig mysteriously. “Getting close to what” asked Admeet suspiciously. “We’ll soon find out” said Zaypher. Just as the waters started to clear, a vast structure came into view. “Is everybody seeing this” asked Zaypher in astonishment. “Yeah, everyone’s seeing this” replied Admeet in astonishment as well. They made their way down a sandy bank towards the structure.
The structure was built into the ground and was protected by an extremely thick grey metal wall. “Wonder what’s inside” wondered Zaypher. “There must be some sort of entrance” said the Slig with the radar. “And I think I’ve just found one” said Admeet with confidence. They saw some sort of service hatch attached to the wall. “I’ll go in” said the female Slig. “You’re quite the adventurous one aren’t you” said Zaypher. “Admeet can come with me” said the female Slig. “Why me” asked Admeet. “You are a good soldier and I will need the extra fire power” replied the female Slig. “So be it” said Admeet. “I’ll cover you since you know what you are doing”. The two walked towards the security hatch and inspected the opening mechanism. The mechanism consisted of a water proof, two-way button made to open the hatch. Just as Admeet pressed the button to open the hatch, two remote turrets shot out of the ground and locked onto the two Sligs. “Looks like we’ve been spotted, RUN” shouted Admeet to the female Slig.
The two ducked behind some jagged rocks as the turrets open fired. Hundreds of harpoons flew out of the turret barrels and jammed themselves into the rock. “We need to destroy those turrets somehow” said Admeet as the rock they hid behind was slowly disintegrating. “I noticed on each of the turrets a targeting chip on the bulk of the turret” said the female Slig, “if we can destroy those chips, the turrets will lock on to each other and destroy themselves”. Admeet took out his harpoon gun and leapt behind another group of jagged rocks. As the turrets started to reload, Admeet leapt in front of the turrets and fired at the targeting chips. The chips broke of the turrets and sank to the sea bed. The turrets immediately turned on each other. Admeet leapt back as the turrets fired at each other. The harpoons pierced the metal of the turrets and the turrets started to malfunction. Finally, the turrets broke down and stopped firing. “That takes care of that problem” said the female Slig walking towards the hatch. “Yeah” said Admeet while reloading his harpoon gun, “but there are probably many more ahead”. The female Slig pushed the button and the hatch opened. The two went through and closed the hatch behind them.
