Into the Tunnel - Ilektros

The tunnel I was directed to was damp and dark. It resembled nothing more than a dirty whole in the ground. It took me deeper into the earth with no exit other than the one I entered from. I wondered what the others were doing. Especially that one, Sonus.


His casually attitude towards Terra's plight disturbed me. This is the one she called a friend? The one she placed her trust in? I could see it was time for her to be taken back to the homeworld.


When her father contacted me, I was happy to learn that she was alive and well. Her powers joined with mine would immediately elevate us to Alpha status. However, he neglected to mention the halfling child with the earthling. Obsidian has assured me that he will be able to convince her to return. So for now, it is in my best interest to protect her.


I was so consumed with my thoughts, that I almost didn't notice the body of water that I almost walked in to. I expanded my light to see that this was somekind of underground cavern. Looking closer, I noticed the patterns of the water rippling as though something extemely large was swimming beneath.


It's best for one to chose the time and place to engage in battle. Since I am not familiar with the water species of this planet, I deemed it best to experience this at another time. Turning back, I started back up the tunnel careful to make sure that whatever resided within the water did not decide to follow.


Once I reached the opening, I noticed that there were strangely dressed females waiting in the basement area.

"Who are you?" The earth women seem just as unsettling as Sonus. How could Terra remain in such a place.

"She's Raz.."

"And She's Tam..." The girls giggled at each other. This was more fun for them, than work.
"Oh look Raz, this one has a pony-tail."

"He should go get that braided by the same girl that Leroy goes to."

"Are all you eathlings like this?" Llektros frowned.

"Like what?" The girls hunched their shoulders.

"Ok, lets get this show on the road. Where is Christopher?"

"If it is the halfling's father you are looking for, you may discontinue your search."

"That's going to be a negative, big guy." Raz walked to the other side of Llektros.

I watched as both separated and crouched as though about to attack. I raised my arms to strike, but it seems they were quicker. They both attacked me, one throwing some kind of explosive metal balls at me, while the other threw some kind of force field around me.

I generated enough energy to distort the force field and threw a bolt towards the one who generated it. I was about to throw another bolt at the one with the explosives when the ground shook and a puff of smoke came from the tunnel that Terra had taken. I was thrown to the floor, hitting my head. Before I could gain my feet, both of them had jumped on me.

I closed my eyes for only a moment to draw more power to finish them for once and for all, pushing up on my arms to rise, when I found myself hit from behind and spiraling down into the darkness.
