Legends of Pandora

Chapter 4 ~ into the snow and out of the clutches ~

The group walked through the volcanic ark, they reached the end, but this time the gap in-between this and the next ark was a much easier traversal, the ground was almost level with the metal rims of the arks. They made their way onto a forested ark, then a taiga, and finally they made it to a snowy ark. The arctic ark lay before them, with its massive mountain looming in the distance, its tip glowing in the sunset. The sun hadn’t moved, they had just gotten farther towards the dark side of the planet. “Woah.” Ron said. “Yup pretty cool huh.” Ras said as they walked into the cold wet snow, they were walking through the forest when suddenly a twig snapped, “who’ss there!” Seascale called out, pointing his trident towards the noise in the dark misty woods. Slowly a pack of sabers prowled out of the bushes. Ras chuckled and pointed a finger gun and a waving sawblade at one of the sabers, “well if it isn’t Snatcher! How’s the patrolling going?” Ras asked. “Who are these, why are they not in their cages Senior Ras.” Snatcher said in a heavy Spanish accent. “Uhhh,” Ras started, looking at the immediately distrustful members of the group, “they aren’t prisoners, duh.. uh they’re honored guests!” Ras leaned in and mouthed ‘Shut.. Up…” with an expression of rage on his face. “Oh of course, please be our guests.” Snatcher said. They continued walking but things were tense. Ras’ men were certainly outnumbered, and he knew that. He decided to play it cool, “don’t mind Snatcher, he doesn’t trust new people.” Ras said. ‘Nice job Ras they won’t suspect a thing, you’re amazing!” Said his inner voice. “Riiiight..” Ron said. They all slowed their pace, “NOW!” Nash yelled. Bones struck first grabbing Ras and throwing him across the conifer canopy, Hermes, Cerberus and the other gang members engaged. Skyla and Nash snatched Hermes off of Cerberus’ back and threw him into a thicket, a loud “OUCH!” Resounding from the thorn bushes. “Hey!” Cerberus said charging at the avian creatures, thrashing and hopping, trying to hit them out of the air. Suddenly the Chief jumped onto his back and rode him like a rampaging rodeo horse, he got a little tired and stopped jumping and thrashing as much, he looked down and saw Quan, “I am here to tuck you in.” He said. “Huh?” Cerberus exclaimed. “GOODNIGHT!” Quan said swinging his mace into the side of Cerberus’ skull. He was out cold. Between the fighting prowess of the others and Trickster unscrewing the gang’s mechanics with a screwdriver he had been carving, the rest of the gang was defeated. “Quickly, we must esscape before Rass or the ssaberss return!” Seascale said. They did, Wan followed slowly behind grumbling about how he was too old for all this.
