The Battle for Earth

Infiltration, Part 2

"We fight."

I'm not sure about this plan. But then again, I trust Marijn. A lot. I trust him to make the right decision, and that he would consider- Well, you don't need to know about me lik- About that. Also, I trust John. He is my captain, and yes. I would follow him anywhere. Oh, god damn. I even trust Henry, the little kicker. There, I said it. Happy?!

They walked down the black corridors of the Mothership, looking in every door. They even blasted a few Nemesis peons, and even set of the alarms. But, with Marijn's prowess in technology, he hacked into them and disabled them.

"There," he said. "They'll probably think it was a false alarm."

"Yeah," said Joseph. "But what kind of alarm is Bok-Thò. Kinda sounds like a Chinese vegetable, don't you think?"

"I think it means 'danger,'" said Henry. "Because, you know, that's how some alarms go."

"Whatever the case," said John. "We need to move."

They walked in silence for many kilometers, not finding anything useful. Then, they found themselves at an open door.

"It's open," announced Marijn.

"No s***, Sherlock," said Joseph. "I totally didn't see that opening in the doorway. Ouch."

Joseph slammed his foot on the door. It made a loud, echoing noise.

"Good job," Henry said. "Now they know we're here."

"Henry, Marijn, keep watch. Blast anything or anyone that comes this way."

Henry grinned. Marijn nodded.

"Yes sir," they both said.

"Joseph, you and I are going to sneak in here and find out what this hellhole is all about."

"I was afraid of that," Joseph sighed. "Let's go."

John and Joseph crept into the open room.

"It's awfully dark in here," Joseph remarked.

"Lights on, then," John said.

They turned on their torches.

"Alright, we should split and look around," said Joseph.

"That's what I was about to say," John grumbled.

They searched for what felt like hours. Then, a loud noise erupted.

PEW PEW

Joseph ran to John.

"Marijn and Henry," he said, panting. John nodded. The two of them ran towards the entrance.

"Marijn! Henry!" yelled Joseph.

"Over here!" replied Henry.

John and Joseph ran quickly to Henry's voice. Too late they realized...

"Oh," said John softly.

They looked up at the snarling face of a Nemesis guard, Henry and Marijn in both of its claws.
