The Argo Goes West

40, Dragon Fights Against Minotaur, part 2

They turned many corners. Billy's directions were correct, as there were no dead ends.

"The exit is near," said Billy.

"We can finally leave the labyrinth."

Everyone was relieved. Then the wall shook. Billy screamed on the wall. "Ah!"

Billy has fallen on the other side of the wall.

"Are you okay, Billy?" asked Pat Garrett loudly.

"I am okay."

"Can you come back here?"

"I can't. The wall is too high. I'll try to find a place where I can climb."

"You don't have to," said Bonnie.

Bonnie took a rope from the horse's saddle and made a hoop. Then she started twirling the rope over her head. It's a lasso.

"Hey!" The lasso went over the wall and reached the other side.

"Catch that rope and climb up."

"Yes," said Billy from behind the wall.

The slack rope was taut. Bonnie pulled on the rope with Billy's weight.

"Ah!"

Billy screamed. He let go of the rope, and Bonnie nearly fell off her horse.

"What's wrong?" asked Pat, but there was no answer. Instead, he heard the roar of the beast.

"There's a monster!" cried Pat.

"Billy!" Orpheus began pounding his fist on the wall.

"Get out of there"

The Mad Bomber said to Orpheus and took out several sticks of dynamite from his rucksack. He dug a hole in the rock with a small pickaxe and pushed dynamite into it. "everybody get away!"

Everyone evacuated to a distant place. Slim curled up in the sidecar and covered his head with his hands. The Mad Bomber lit the fuse. A few seconds later, an explosion occurred. There was a hole in the wall. It wasn't passable, but it was big enough to see beyond the wall. Billy was fighting a monster there. A monster nearly twice as tall as Billy, with a muscular male body and the head of a bull with ferociously curved horns. It was the Minotaur!
