Origins of Salizar, chapter 5 ~discovery~

Salizar waited till the next night to make his move, He left the cave while the rest of the crew was sleeping, and made his way for the facility, it had been made into a makeshift HC for the task force. Salizar threw a rock at one of the windows, Primalis’s window, the man was sleeping and it took many sticks and rocks to rouse him, but he woke up and looked out the window to see a black mesopithicus, he ran from the window shouting to his sleeping troops, Salizar started running for it, the soldiers followed his trail all the way to a cave, Salizar’s footprints led inside, so they went in. But Salizar never went in the cave, he slowly peered out of a nearby bush and grinned. He made his way back to the cave to show Ryker what he had done.

“Agent Raptor, do you have eyes?” A soldier said. “No eyes Agent Fox,” Agent Raptor replied. “This cave is revolting! There’s muck everywhere..” Primalis shouted in destain. “Now now Doctor, afraid of a little mud?” Agent Fox said. “Yes, and I’m also afraid of mega rabies, onycs and.. and… MEGANEURAS!!” Primalis said. “Meganeuras? The little dragonflies?” Agent Fox asked, “why are you afraid of them?” She asked. “LOOOK!” Primalis shouted pointing ahead, there was a swarm of meganeuras flying towards them, the soldiers all started firing their weapons at the bugs, but they reached the group, tearing apart their riot armor and guns. “Travis!!!” Agent Fox yelled as a soldier was carried off further down the cave by hundreds of meganeuras. “Su-” the man replied as he was drug away. “Everyone, switch to melee!” Agent Raptor said. The agents grabbed their swords and stabbed at the bugs, Primalis clumsily swatted at them with his. eventually they had killed all the insects, but not without serious casualties. “What do we do sir?” Agent Fox asked. “We press on commander, we must find the mesopithicus.” Primalis replied. They marched through the cave, battling insects and onycs, Primalis was close behind Agent Raptor and Agent Fox when he heard a humming sound, and when they drew closer he saw a green glow. “What is that?” Agent Raptor asked. “No idea, someone should go look.” Agent Fox replied. “After you.” Agent Raptor said. “No no, be my guest.” Agent Fox said. “Cowards! I’ll go.” Primalis said. “We’re the cowards? Guys been hiding behind me for the past half hour..” Agent Raptor said to Agent Fox. Primalis walked towards the glow, he could feel the energy pulsing through the ground, his implant glowed the same green and the artifact, his interest was peaked, he turned a corner and saw it, the artifact. It glowed like nothing he had ever seen before, he reached out to touch it when suddenly it disappeared, he frantically looked around for a moment and then noticed his implant, the artifact had shrunk and was attached to his implant, “Marvelous.” He said. “Sir? What was it?” Agent Fox asked. “I don’t have a clue, but it’s mine -I-mean.. King Drakes.” Primalis said.

Salizar had led the crew towards the facility, they were standing on a cliff ledge overlooking the structure, “Salizar, this better be good, I don’t like being interrupted when I sleep.” Killion said. “Trust me it is, the plan has been set in motion.” Salizar said. “How so?” Ryker asked. “Look.” Salizar said pointing down the cliff ledge, The task force was walking through the redwoods towards the facility, They could see the green glow emanating from Primalis’s wrist and he walked looking at it. “Salizar.. what is in that man’s possession?” Ryker asked threateningly. “The artifact of the pack.” Salizar said smugly. “You fool! I did not order you to lead them to it!” Ryker said furiously. “But, Ryker! This is the plan!” Salizar shouted, he was quite annoyed that Ryker was not pleased with him. “We haven’t had time to prepare! Now they will start the search for the artifacts! And we don’t even know what obelisk that artifact connects to! We could be leading them to a fight they are not yet prepared for!” Ryker said angrily. “Salizar, who are those humans, why do they have riot gear..” Killion asked. “They, well.. they’re a task force instructed to hunt me down..” Salizar said. “WAHT?!” Ras shouted. “You didn’t say nothing about a task force! We don’t need that kind of heat!” Killion said. “This runts been lying to us from the start!” Asher said, this was the first time Salizar heard her gruff voice. “Your getting mighty close to that cliff ledge my friend..” Wretch said. “Please! I am loyal! We all want the same thing I was only trying to help!” Salizar begged. Ryker peered closer to the mesopithicus, he snarled in anger, Salizar was so afraid he took a step back, his foot halfway off the ledge. He tripped, and fell.
