The Wings of War: The Secret Labryinth

18. The True Colors

“𝗝ust almost there,” Ghost said, holding onto the car handle as he was slowly spinning around, looking at the others walking past it as they didn't seem to notice a thing.
“Just a few more...”
He tried to pull it open, but it seemed to not work as he was putting in little to no work in it.
“Few more seconds...”
He had to put a portion of his hand on the handle to try and slowly open it, without making a sound, but even then it seemed impossible as he could hear people chuckling in the background and people talking.
If he really did open it, would it cause a scene? He didn't know, but he had to try. This Casino deceived people, well, maybe, according to Ghost, he noticed that there was no handle to leave the Casino, and the doors were only pushed, not pulled.
“Damn it!”
He swung the door open and it caused his feet to take off the ground as he let go and fell off the wheel, hitting the red carpet, his physical reappearing as people noticed him laying down, with the door flung open as an alarm went off.
Shit.
Security Guards made their way to the scene, in what appeared to be in tuxedos, aiming small blades at Ghost as his vision was blurry.
“Put your hands behind your head!”
He had nowhere to go.

Axel Robbins left the Arcade Section as he heard the alarm go off, with people around him looking around as Security Guards were running on the balconies, leaving the people confused.
What the? Whats going on?
He saw a security guard run past as Axel slowly jogged behind, but staying atleast a distance away so the Guard couldn't notice, with Axel running through a crowd of people as he tracked down Oliver Underwood's location.
Oliver was actually with a bunch of strippers, sitting on a pink couch as people around them were dancing, with Axel confused as the girls had atleast to be half his age, before Axel yelled, “Oliver! Oliver!”
Of course, due to the music still going and people running around the place due to the alarm mixed with the Music, Oliver couldn't notice as the girls were still chuckling, it seemed like they didn't know either.
Axel tried calling his name a few times, as he was literally infront of Oliver, with a table between them as Axel noticed the glass of water, before he grabbed it and threw the water at Oliver, catching his attention as Axel shouted, “Wake up!”
Oliver chuckled as he got up and patted Axel's shoulder, before saying, “Such a buzzkill, Boss.”
Axel grabbed Oliver's arm and the two walked off to a quieter place, as the Atrium seemed almost empty, looking like the Casino evacuated as Oliver asked, “'ey man, whats going on here?”
“Look,” Axel sighed. “the casino's evacuating, i don't know whats going on. But we need to get CJ.” he started walking into a hallway full of apartments. “Come on!”
Oliver glanced at the woman as he stood there for a few seconds, before reluctantly running after Axel, as the two went to find the others.

CJ Batson was on the second floor, running as she jumped down onto another floor, her feet landing on the gold balcony as she kneeled down and dived into the second hallway.
The Casino seemed evacuated, but she didn't care as she kept running through the unlimited hallways, trying to find the others — or so, trying to find a way out.
This is Axel's fault damn it, she thought to herself. But, it doesn't matter now. I need to find the others.
She ran through more hallways as she eventually went to run off the balcony, looking at the chandelier above as she planned to grab onto that, but her plan failed as she collided into Axel Robbins, his shoulder hitting hers as they both dived into the same direction, hitting the ground.
Axel held his head, as he said, “Ah, watch where your going!” before he found out who it was. “CJ?”
CJ nodded, as she immediately got up, grabbing his arms to help him up as CJ asked, “What's going on?”
“We don't know, but we're trying to find Ghost,” Axel said, running down the stairs, shouting, “Come on!” as the two followed him.

Suddenly a boomerang hit one of the guards in the head as he fell down, much to Ghost's confusion.
What the hell...
The Guards were immediately armed, a few of them aiming the small blade at his neck as Ghost sat down, unfazed as the sharp blade was practically touching his cyan hair.
And then he saw the doors open as a figure of three people ran in, with a faint smile on Ghost's face as he thought to himself: Thought so.
The Boomerang flew back to Axel as he jumped up, his left hand catching the boomerang as he looked at the guards, saying, “Let him go.”
One of the Guards chuckled as they said, “Pff, like we're listening to you? Just run off, or you'll get killed.”
“We know your trapping people in this Casino,” CJ blurted out, which shocked everyone except for Ghost, with Axel and Oliver turning to her, confused.
Knew it, Ghost thought again.
“We haven't got time for this,” one of the Guards said, nodding as he said, “Get 'em.”
And then the Guards ran at the Trio, with Oliver taking out his Crutches and CJ taking out her bow, with Axel taking out his steel dagger.
“Come get some then.” Axel said.

19 is soon!
