Down in the depths below the Iron Legion's Base, Jaden and the Iron Chief have a new goal in their sights, to escape the old tunnels and help the others as soon as possible. Though it won't be that easy...
Jaden coughs and opens his eyes... His vision is blurry after being knocked out from the fall... He coughs more and rubs his eyes...
"Chief...?" He said, sitting up... Jaden looks around... Everything is dark in every direction... He picks up his chest camera...
"Fried..." He said, tossing it to the side...
"Chief?" He called out again...
"Over... here..." The Chief said, weakly... Her leg has been crushed by rubble...
"Chief!" Jaden said, running over... Jaden puts his hands under the rubble...
"Get ready to crawl out." He said, lifting... The Chief groans and crawls out from under the rubble, and sits against the wall...
"I'll be fine..." She said. Jaden walks over...
"You won't live. We don't have much time, we need to get out of here. You know about this place?" Jaden said.
"No. I never knew about this place." The Chief said... Something growls in one of the dark tunnels... Jaden walks to the tunnel where the sound came from, and fires one of his blasteyrs. The blue glow lights up the tunnel, then the energy hits something in the dark... A giant silhouette moves in the dark and roars... Jaden runs to the Chief and helps her up...
"Come on!" Jaden said, helping the Chief walk... The creature comes out into the light, and gets burned... It disappears into the darkness...
"We need to keep moving." Jaden said. Jaden and the Chief stumble into the dark tunnels... There's a faint clicking sound behind them...
"Don't look back." Jaden said... The clicking grows louder... Jaden and the Chief stop... There's an electric panel on the wall... The creature reaches its arms out and emerges from the dark tunnels... Jaden switches the power on frying the beast in the light... The creature screeches and melts down turning to a pile of goop... Jaden steps back letting out a relieved sigh...
"Jaden..." The Iron Chief said...
"Yeah?" Jaden asked. The Chief points to a stairwell...
"Let's get the hell out of here!" Jaden said...
Three chapters remain...
