League of Kismets: WishboneHeroes

Chapter 12

Tonight is cold and windy, yet the skies remain clear as a full moon shines down. A white box with two holes for eyes and arms made of cardboard sits against a tree near the lake. Having his fishing rod, he shivers from the cold while still waiting for a fish to latch onto his bait. Having no idea when it's going to happen, he stares at the sky with tired eyes. Then he hears a loud alarm going off in the distance. Turning his box body towards the sound, he sees red and yellow flashing lights dancing in the night sky. Watching as spotlights turn on, he gave a surprised expression. The goldfish itself popped its head out to look too.

Wishalena has taken off to Skull Nizhalgal base. The security there has already alerted her presents and has moved into defense before her arrival. Setting up many roadblocks, mech machines, tanks, and soldiers, Nizhalgal waits in his tower high above. On the other hand, Wishalena stands tall on a hill, looking down at the base. Seeing the resistance, she shook her head, knowing Nizhalgal never learns. She crosses her arms, watching the scene. Suddenly, Cody, Scruffy, and Buster walked over from behind and stood near her. They all look in the view, watching all the guards preparing.

"Great, now what is this Doofus doing now?" Buster asked. His tone came off aggravated while he expressed an unamused look.

"Nizhalgal has someone hostage. Last I heard from Zoey, he planned on using her powers to create a portal to other worlds. Wishalena said. She glanced over and saw many Mech's moving towards the front lines.

"Wait, Nizhalgal is using someone's powers to create a portal?" Buster asked. Scruffy whipped her head towards him before moving her sights to the scene.

"Then we best get in there and have this hostage removed quickly. Leaving anyone with powers drained for a long time could end up killing them." She replied. Wishalena narrowed her eyes to those words.

She gave a bothered look at the base. "Rather not, think about that. Wishalena turned to Scruffy, seeing her using a custom-built arm device. Wishalena knew what she was up to but asked her question anyway. "Got any intel the group needs to know?"

"The place is locked down heavily. I'm looking at many machines ranging from heavy armor to tanks and mechs. Down to armored soldiers. Not mentioning the high-tech camera's capable of seeing through walls." Scruffy pointed out, from what her device is showing.

"Sounds like to me were doing this the hard way then," Buster said. He cracked his neck before Scruffy stepped over to the side and pulled her high-tech binoculars out. She took a look and saw many soldiers standing near the entrance where the huge metal fence sits. Mover her vision up, Scruffy searched for a better way into the base. Until a couple of nonactive mechs sitting outside of the base caught her eye, and that's when she got a brilliant idea.

Two soldiers who are captains are standing in front of the fence. They both are having a conversation. While they also keep their eyes out for Wishalena and her friends. Captain shadow takes a good look at his rifle and begins to have second thoughts on their weapons. "Hey, Captain Snow, what do you think about these guns?" Captain Snow started to think about it for a moment.

"Honestly, I think it's alright. Why do you ask?"

"Ah, I don't know, it just feels like to me these guns are a mistake. Like, think about it we shot all day at that deer before Nizhalgal got her, and it didn't do anything to her." Captain Shadow expressed a feeling of concern.

"So what are you saying? These guns are useless?" Captain Snow asked.

"I just feel it would be better if we had more effective guns, that's all." Captain Shadow said. Snow moved his attention towards the gun. It didn't take long before the thoughts started to roll in.
