Chapter 4
Name Reckoning (Part 1)
Just as the Interns were ready to fire, the door to the left of Admeet opened. Standing there was the masked Slig holding a harpoon gun in his hands. “Do you want him or me” shouted the masked Slig standing by a few dead Interns. “Get him” shouted the mysterious voice, “I will deal with these two myself”. The Interns hurried out of the room after the masked Slig.
“Now, where was I” said the mysterious voice. The figure with the voice wondered towards the Sligs, picking up a surgical knife along the way. The figure revealed himself in the light. He was wearing a gold monocle and a black business suit. “A Vykker” said Admeet. “Yes” said the Vykker, “I am the very Vykker which designed this whole base, and you will be the first Slig to die within its walls”. “Wow, what a privilege” said Admeet sarcastically.
The Vykker walked around the two chairs looking at the female Slig. “Such determination to get here” said the Vykker. “Actually, we found this place by accident” replied Admeet. “Really” said the Vykker, “what were you looking for?” “Some sort of radiation source” replied Admeet. “Hmm, I guess were looking for the same thing” said the Vykker. “Then do you know where we can find the source” asked Admeet. “Yes” replied the Vykker, “there is a map in the main control room and I will show you there”. Just as the Vykker was about to start his next sentence, a harpoon pierced through the Vykker’s torso, spattering blood all over Admeet. Standing behind the crippled Vykker was the masked Slig with the harpoon gun in his hands. “Whoa, what’s wrong with you” shouted Admeet angrily. “What?” said the masked Slig. “That Vykker was about to give me some important information” shouted Admeet. “He was evil wasn’t he” said the masked Slig. “I was reasoning with him” shouted Admeet. “Hey” said the female Slig, “This reunion is very touching, but shouldn’t we get out of here, unless you want more Interns to come to our position”. “Your right” said the Masked Slig, “let me free you”.
The masked Slig broke the locks on the chairs to set the Sligs free. “I think its time we had some names” said Admeet. “Yes I think so to” said the masked Slig as he took of his mask. “Vankor!” said Admeet looking confused. “Yes Admeet it is I” said Vankor. “How did you get back to full health?” asked Admeet, “you were wounded, scared, mauled beyond repair” Admeet hesitated but quickly turned it into a cough. “How?” “Well with the help of the doctors and a bucket full of med-packs, they nursed me back to health very quickly”.
The Three Sligs were about to make their way out of the door when suddenly, Zaypher popped out of nowhere. “Zaypher” said Admeet in surprise, “what are you doing here?” “Hmm, you two have been gone for at least two hours” replied Zaypher holding his two SMGs, “no wonder you two have been captured all this time”. “Anyway, shouldn’t we be getting out of here” asked Vankor. “Yes” replied Admeet, “we have no time. We need to head to the main control room. Let’s go”. “By the way Admeet” said Zaypher, “I think you will need this”. He handed over Admeet’s magnum. The four Sligs started to make their way towards the main control room.
