My Last Hope (Truth Series 4)

12: To The Rescue

A/N: Shhhhhhhhhhh If you don't tell anyone I forgot to post this on Saturday no one will know.  

Third Person POV

The nine men wake up the next morning ready for a fight. They eat breakfast and then prepare to head out.

"I have some gear for everyone." Chim says as he empties his inventory onto his kitchen table. "I don't have enough diamond for everyone to have a full set of armor but I do have enough for everyone to have a chestplate and a sword. Then we can use iron for the rest." Chim starts making the said items using a crafting table. He then distributes them to everyone. "I have a ton of food around here. Make sure you have enough. Anyone need anything else?"

"Do you have a pick I could use?" Clash requests. "Just in case we have to break some blocks to get out."

"Yeah." Chim runs off to someplace else inside his house. He returns to the group a minute later. He hands Clash an enchanted diamond pickaxe. "Everyone ready?" They all nod or say some sort of agreement.

"Let's move out!" Clash calls out.

The group travels across the terrain until they reach the building they hope Clash's sister is inside. They hide behind the row of trees closest to the structure they plan on invading.

"We never came up with an actual plan!" Chim freaks out.

"We don't need one." Seamus declares.

"Then how do we get in!?"

"We bust through the front door," Clash decides. He casually walks over to the door and breaks it with the pick Chim provided. He then proceeds to stepinside the building. The eight others quickly follow after him. They walk a little ways inside looking around cautiously as they do so. Suddenly an alarm blares causing all of them to jump in surprise. People dressed in white lab coats come rushing out of various rooms. "Run!" Clash orders. The group runs through the many hallways inside the building. As they run they weave around the other people panicking over the alarm. They keep running until they reach a dead end. "Shit!" Clash is running too fast to stop in time. He runs into the wall using his hands as a defense he catches himself on the wall.

"You alright?" Chim asks.

"Yeah." Clash replies retreating a few paces from the wall. "Let's go back. So far all we've seen is scientists. There must be something below this place." Just as they're turning around to go down a different hallway they hear a strange sound. They look back at the wall to find that it's not there. Instead there is a stone staircase that leads into the ground. Clash peers down the staircase. It goes on for a while. He can't see the bottom. The group warily descends the staircase. At the bottom they find three hallways. One leads off in front of them while the other two go in a direction on either side of them.

"Well, well. What do we have here?" A voice speaks from behind them. The nine of them spin around searching for the owner of the voice. Standing on the staircase is Herobrine and five or six men dressed in black. They almost look like ninjas.

"Go! Now!" Ant orders.

Clash, Chim, Seamus, and Bodil take off down one of the halls. They don't pay attention to which one,only making sure that they're all going the same way. The four run down various hallways until they deem themselves far enough away to search without getting caught. From there on they walk, searching each hall as they pass through. So far all they have found is rows of doors and they certainly don't have enough time to check them all.

"Hey!" Seamus grabs the attention of the other three. "I think we should go this way." Seamus stands at the start of a hallway that branches off the one they are in. The hall that Seamus wants to search looks like it belongs to a jail. Lining each side of the hall are what can only be described as jail cells. Each individual cell is made up of iron bars, an iron door, and obsidian. The obsidian makes up three of the cell's walls, the ceiling and the floor. The iron bars are used as the fourth wall, the one that makes up the hallway. An iron door is placed amongst the bars. It appears to be the only way in and out of each cell. The only problem is that there's no way to open the door. Nowhere in the long hallway does there appear to be some sort of lever, button or pressure plate. Seamus leads the way down the hall. The group moves slowly and discreetly but they still freeze upon hearing the voices.

"-any idea what this means, Star?" A male voice asks.

"Yes. It means we're free." A girl replies.

"It means we're toast." The male replies negatively.

"Quit being a pessimist. Someone found my book. We're going to be rescued."

"No. They're going to try to rescue you and Herobrine will kill them."

"Have faith in our savior, Sparkly."

The group of four approaches the area where the voices are coming from. They are silent as a mouse until Chim trips over his own feet and a crack in the floor. He falls face first to the ground with a thud. The sound seems to echo through the underground dungeon like place. The two voices stop talking immediately. Everyone, the group of four and the two heard talking, don't say a word or move even an inch afraid that the slightest sound will alert an enemy lurking in the darkness.
