Twisted Metal: The Revenge (Book 01).

Chapter 10: Zip-Line Ride.

While on the way up to the hole where the zip-line was coming from, Slash kept an eye on anything that was going to attack us. Finally as the three got into the hole, they saw guards taking people out of the boxes.

"Another person driven by madness," one guard said. "About time he lost his head. Now let's destroy it." The guard aimed his rifle at the crazy man tied up in a straight jacket, and shot him in the brain, until he was no longer shaking. "Alright let's see who else has gone insane after being locked up for too long," the guard explained to the other.

Just then, Slash pulled out his chainsaw, and shoved it through the guards chest. "How about we kill you, instead," Slash said, and then sliced the guard in half. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about you." Slash pulled out a throwing knife after turning his chainsaw off, and then threw it at the guard who was about to shoot him, until the knife landed in his heart. Both guards died, and dropped their rifles as soon as they started falling to the ground dying.

"Jesus Christ, boss," Raven said. "I understand we need to make sure no one finds us, but that was gory wasn't it?" "No one must know that we're here," Slash explained. "Not even Calypso himself. Now if you two learn to cooperate, I'll spare myself the trouble of gouging your eyes out with an ice cream scooper." "Yes sir," Raven said. Orbital found a sheet of paper on the wall, and discovered that it had cell numbers on it. With that, Orbital decided to show Raven, and Slash the sheet he found.

"Sir, I believe this'll be useful," Orbital said. "If I'm not mistaken, this place is an asylum, and those boxes on the zip-line are cells. The preacher might be in one of these cells as well." "That could be a possibility," Raven commented. "I don't care what's here," Slash explained. "All I care about is avenging my father, and stopping Calypso. To do that, we have to find that preacher we heard on the radio. He might know how to stop him." "Well, we can use this cell on the zip-line to ride, and locate which other cell he's being help up in," Raven said. "Only problem is, none of us have tried a zip-line box ride in the first place."

"I have," Orbital explained. "During the incident that gave me half of a face, I got lifted into the air by a zip-line, and dipped into acid. It of course made me who I am today, though it missed my brain. Anyway, the number on this cell is 396. The number on the cell the preacher is being held up in, is 612." "Good, I'll ride outside the 396 to open the cell we're looking for," Slash explained. "Orbital, Raven, I need you two to get in the cell to look through the window for the right number. Do you still have that earpiece?" "Never leave the hideout without it," Orbital said, as he stepped in the cell. Raven joined Orbital in the cell, while Slash grabbed the keys from the corpse, and got on the cell, as the zip-line brings it back to the skull where the other cells were.
