Chapter 4

- The Nazgûl

“We are ready for battle. Board the quetzals.” Joe announced.

The base was all crazy. Rushing for to mounts, grabbing supplies. Spark was surprised at how many dodos there were. Spark had been offered several times a spot on a tapejara for gunning, but he refused. Spark’s specialty was ground fighting. Jennifer had been offered the chief position in the sick-bay. She had declined. The three friends knew their mission. Find a way off this ark down to earth. Joe told them that the red obelisk was the only operational obelisk. If they won the war, the could go to earth. Spark was surprised Alex hadn’t offered to stay here. She seemed quite at home with the other pilots. She also seemed not herself. She had taken a scouting mission with the others earlier. She had seemed strange ever since then. Spark hoped it wouldn’t effect her fighting. Spark boarded a quetz. In about five minutes, he heard the order to send out the taps(tapejaras). The battle had begun.
