Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 58 ~the beginning of the end~

The Dinopithicus Kings brawled ferociously, the Dinopithicus and Pandoran troops battled the enforcers valiantly, while Xu fought with Vinestrap. Vinestrap had a Tek suit and a Tek whip, but Xu had his samurai armor and his bow, Xu was too quick for Vinestrap’s whip attacks. “How are you dodging this!!” Vinestrap snarled. “Because, I am better than you.” Xu said, he wouldn’t have normally said this but he knew that Vinestrap’s temper was his weakness. “HOW DARE YOU I am your king!” Vinestrap said. “Your no king of mine.” A Dinopithicus who was fighting nearby said. Vinestrap furiously started trying to whip the soldier but he blocked the clumsy blows with his katana, Nash and Skyla flew above the action, striking down with Nash’s Katana and Skyla’s Spear, the Dinopithicus were overpowering the enforcers and the tide of the battle quickly turned in their favor, but then, just when they were about to be victorious, the High king fell, he was too old to fight an alpha of his own species, Caldren II had bested him. Caldren turned to the Dinopithicus troops and beat his chest, some bowed to him, others shoved over these weaklings and called out, “Xu! Xu! Xu!” Caldren didn’t like this, nor did Vinestrap. “Father, what do I do with them.” Caldren said. “KILL THEM KILL THEM ALL!” Vinestrap shouted dramatically. “Yes, Father…” Caldren said slowly. He walked towards the troops, he held grabbed a massive boulder and got ready to throw it, he breathed in ready to hurl the boulder at Xu’s army, they braced, but just then sideways lightning struck Caldren’s wrist, he fumbled and dropped the boulder on his head and shoulder, he fell to the ground. “Well, that’s ironic..” Nash said to Skyla. The troops looked to where the lighting originated from and saw Cinder and her wyverns, along with Caesar and the others, they had come out of the same place Vinestrap had entered from. “What’s going on here?” Caesar said. “CAESAR!” Nash shouted. “Quickly, we musst find Vinesstrap, before he getss away!” Seascale said. “Who?” Jaxz asked. Just then Caldren slowly got back up, he rubbed his head, and then angrily looked at Cinder and her wyverns. “Go, we’ll deal with that…” Cinder said calmly. Caesar nodded, “We’ll stay too, my men are to weak to carry on.” Xu said. “Don’t worry, we’ll handle this.” Nash said. And so, the Pandorans left the wyverns and Dinopithicus behind, and went to face Salizar and his Barons.

Ron and the others were escorted by Frozt to the brig, Ron was pretty sure it was just an old armory, or possibly a docking bay for enforcers. “How are we gonna get out this time..” George asked. “Well, at least we aren’t in those weird ice cubes anymore.” Lee said. “When we escape this place I am going to show that little raccoon not to challenge QUAN THE CONQUEROR!” Quan said. “Quan, your not a conqueror, and Frozt kicked your tail two times now…” Trickster said. “No, the second time you made me surrender!” Quan replied. They continued arguing until Richard snapped, “ENOUGH don’t you idiots get it! We are in prison, Ron and Ping’s friends are who knows where and that psycho is about to rule the arks!” He said. Just then Ron noticed something on the wall, “Hey Ping, remember when we broke into the castle through a vent?” He said. “Ya, why.” Ping asked cluelessly. Ron pointed at the wall, there was a vent, and through it they could see another room. “That vent is high tech, and we don’t have a screwdriver or anything.” Charles said. “No, but we do have Quan’s mace.” Ping said. “Wow, Salizar really didn’t think we could get out huh..” Evelyn said. “No, I bet he’s counting on it. The guy wants a grand finale, he wants to end us all in a glorious battle, otherwise he would’ve used us as a ransom or just killed us already, instead he locks us in a room with an obvious vent and an armory just on the other side of it.” Ron said. “If he wants a fight should we give it to him?” George asked. “There’s nothing else we can do, if we wait he’ll kill all humans and crown himself king of all arks. We have to fight him.” Charles said. Quan lifted up his mace and slammed it into the vent, shattering it. “Let’s go.” Ron said to the pengujas.
