Heroes of Pandora

Chapter 29

When they reached the obelisk, Caesar ran up to the terminal, he looked around but all he saw was a red button, and a slot where you could put some sort of key. “What is this! Where is the terminal to shut this down!” He said. Then he heard laughter, a vile sound.. it was Salizars laugh. “You really thought the boss terminal is where I started this?!” He said laughing, “oh Caesar how easy it is to outsmart you and your pitiful gang.” He continued. “Where are you Salizar!” Caesar said, then a mechanic wyvern flew up from the ledge, with Salizar sitting atop it. “Do you like it? It’s called a voidwrym pulled it out of a security system for something called “the genesis shuttle” Salizar said. The others where already running up to the terminal when Salizar spoke again. “Don’t you get it?! That rock drake who told you to come here was lying, JUST as I instructed,” Salizar said. “He put up a good act.. I almost don’t want to leave him here, oh well he served his purpose, just like the others before him.” He said. “Your insane!” Caesar said. “.. maybe, but I will survive wile you die here.. oh speaking of that you might want to run, we've got about… hmm, an hour before the obelisks begin.” Salizar said. And at that Caesar turned and ran, ignoring Salizars taunts and laughter, he told the others to run and they did, then they grew tired “why even run?!” One of the Gigantopithicus said, “we’re dead nomatter we’re we go..” he said. “Maybe not.. we know a placce but it is forbidden to go there..” Seascale said. “I don’t think that matters right now..” Nash said. “Probably not.. it’s under the floating isle, we should ssplit up try to warn as many creaturess as we can.” Seascale said. “Yes we should- VVVVBBMMMMMM, at that moment the obelisks erupted pure energy shooting into the ground, with a massive shockwave that sent them all rearing, the obelisks blinding glow illuminated the dark woods with blue, green, and red light. “HURRY.” Caesar said. They ran in all directions, telling anyone they could find where to run, some of the sea serpents went back home to warn their kingdom. They saved many.. but time was short, the blast from the obelisks shattered the ground creating cracks and scars in the earth, lava and fire was erupting from the chasms, when the creatures arrived from all around the ark, the sea serpents led them down the the cave. Caesar ran to the terminal in the cave, creatures nervously peeking in to see how they were going to be saved. The air was dry and Smokey and the fire and crevasses were nearing, Caesar couldn’t figure out how to unlock the terminal, then he saw another slot, he ran out of the cave, through the masses of creatures nervously standing in the shallow water, he climbed up to the clearing where they fought the dragon, he looked up and saw the blinding red glow of the obelisk, the fire, the destruction. He noticed how the shattered ground looked not that different from the usual landscape, and wondered “has this happened before?” He dismissed the thought and ran to the body of the dragon, he looked around, then noticed a crack in one of the horns, he pulled the key out the crack, then he scrambled to get back down. The creatures were even more nervous now, complaining and freaking out about the end of the world. He ran to the terminal placed the key in its slot, and the terminal instantly turned on cyan lights trailing from the terminal up to a huge tek door, the door glowed then opened, and instantly everyone tried to run inside like a stampede. “NO! EVERYONE SINGLE FILE LINE, NOW.” Ron yelled. The creatures wearily complied. “We don’t know what’s gonna be in here so let us go first.” He said. Bones, the five, the chief and seascale led the way they had no trouble getting through, the lava was easily avoidable and all the creatures inside had already been killed. “These creatures were killed by a strange fire.. Salizar.” Caesar said. “Guess that means we can escape from here..” Ping said. “Ya that’s the only good thing about it.” Caesar said. “How’ss your arm?” Seascale asked the chief. “It’ll be fine, I’ll just have a nice battle scar heh!” He said. “What happened down in the sea palace? I didn’t see your emperor in the crowd.” Caesar said. “She felt that we where foolss to leave when the problem “had nothing to do with the ssea” and that “the ocean will ssurvive a little shifting rocks and fire”,” Seascale said, “so we gathered as many people who would follow and left.” He said. “Hm sounds like you’ll have to coronate a new emperor..” Ron said. “Yess, we will.” he said. Then they reached another door, but this one seemed more like a hexagonal portal. Caesar looked at it, then the others. “Well guess this is where we go next..”
