Protectors of Pandora

Chapter 59 ~suiting up~

The group walked through the halls, Caesar and Nash told the stories of what happened on Hades and the Jungle ark, Nash was surprised to hear of Oaks betrayal, and Caesars new arm, and Caesar was impressed by Nash’s bravery and valor. everyone was happy to be together again, but the group was still missing two important members, they still needed to find the others. Stainly walked a bit behind everyone else, he was terrified, Salizar was sure to kill him first, and he wasn’t ready to die. He clutched Lagoon’s cryopod in his hand, the oasisaur was too large to fit into the starlit sanctuary so the ark podded her automatically. “We should get weapons, we can’t fight the full force of this base.” He said. The others turned to look at him. “Your right. But where do we find weapons.” The chief asked. Stainly shrugged. “This place is a maze, we’ll be lucky to find anything in here, let alone an armory.” Skyla said. “Yes but- did you hear that?” Caesar said. They looked around. “Psst” “ I hear it too, where’s it coming from?” Jaxz asked. “Over here!” Ping said. “They looked in the direction of the noise, it was coming from a vent. “PING!” Multiple voices said at once. “SssSsSHhhHhHh!” Ping said. “Why?” Caesar asked. “Because, they could be watching!” Ron’s voice said from the vent. “In fact all of you, look away from the vent!” Ron continued. They turned away but continued talking, some made actual smalltalk while Caesar talked to Ron. “We were captured by a ferox, And we heard Salizar’s plan, he wants to exterminate all the humans and connect the Arks into a new planet ruled by him, and his “‘Barons’”. he put us in a cell next to an armory, I think he wanted us to find it and fight him.” Ron explained. “Sounds about right.” Caesar said. “That explains Oak’s betrayal, he was offered rule of an ark.” Nash said. “RAT! How dare he betray his friends and family for what!? kingship!?” The chief shouted. “Quiet! Follow us, we’ll show you the armory.” Ron said. They followed the sound of talons pattering through the vent until they reached a door, it was massive, big enough for something even larger than Bones. “How do we get in, that’s a tek door, nearly indestructible.” Stainly said. Caesar saw thought for a moment, “Hmm. Let me try something.” He touched the door with his tek arm, it turned from green to cyan and an automated voice said, “Access granted, subject: ‘Nemesis’ allowed entry to armory.” “Salizar really does want a fight eh.” Darrel said. “can you try that with the door over there?” Ron asked. Caesar opened it, the wolves exited. “I suppose your the Caesar I’ve heard about, pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am Sir Charles, and this is Sir George, Sir Richard and the Lady Evelyn.” Charles said. “Knights? I am a sort of knight myself.” Nash said. “Ah, you’re Nash I’m guessing?” Charles asked. “Aye.” Nash replied. “Ha! “‘A sort of knight’” loser, Back in my day I was a baron, now I’m a ninja and a knight, get a life.” Wan said. “Excuse me?” Nash said shocked. “He said your a loser! And deaf too I guess..” Trickster said. “Caesar why are there more Pings..?” Nash asked. “No idea but my head hurts already..” Caesar said. “Cmon! We don’t have any time to lose!” Ron said.

They raided the armory, it had tons of weapons, tek saddles, armor, and even a high tech 3D printer that they used to make a few custom things. “This, is, AWSOME!” Jaxz shouted with his new Tek saddle, it had lasers and rocket boosters, Skylas suit was similar, and as was Nash’s, except he kept his samurai armor and katana, and just used a jetpack. The Gigantopithicus were fully outfitted in large tek suits, tek grenades, and tek rifles. The sea serpents got tek tridents, and some lighter armor, Bones got a modded Rex tek saddle large enough to fit him, Caesar got a tek suit but tore off the left arm and inserted some element into his bionic arm, he also grabbed a tek bow. The wolves got tek saddles that gave them laser fangs, and the pengujas got jetpacks, instantly crashed them, and opted for some custom kairuku tek suits instead. Stainly had a hard time getting his tek suit on and he had no idea how to work it or shoot a gun, he got a tek pistol so he could stay back and use its healing abilities. Ron struggled to find anything that would fit him or be functional, eventually he settled on a custom suit that gave him bionic arms with lasers. “Everyone, let’s go stop Salizar.” Caesar said.
