A Beginning Of Any Great Matter-Nathan Drake x OC

Chapter 5

We followed the tracks to only be taken back to the start, where we first got into the cave. "Huh, they stop her" Nate said walking towards a fallen, large stone, standing on top of it as he looked around.

"Yeah- it looks like the back wall of the temple was blown out" My father replies as he walks with me up to Nate who know stood on the grass.

"Yeah. The Spaniards musta made themselves a shortcut to get the treasure out" Nate says and I go up to stand next to him and ask "Swell, now what?" he didn't reply, showing he didn't know, Nate took off up the obvious path, I look over to my father who stood behind me who shrugged his shoulders to me and we both walk after Nate.

We both find Nate standing by a waterfall and we both go to stand with him, I gasp at the sight and as I did Nate said: "Now there's something you don't see everyday."

"My God!" My father announces as he spots what it was, a submarine, a very large, rusted submarine which was somehow hanging off the edge of the waterfall. I walk over to some rocks to help me get up and the two men copied and I go closing the sub which looks amazing up close. I couldn't help but gasp at the scene.

"Whoa", "I'll be damned" I hear behind me, I turn to see the two men god-smacked by the scene, they both walk up next to me and stared at the sub. "Must have come up the river during flood season and gotten stuck" Nate announces, answering the question which was stuck in my mind.

"Let's check it out huh?" Nate asks me and dad, I don't know why he bothered asking my dad as I knew he wouldn't be able to climb up there.

"Nah...Wait, wait, wait. Something about this feels kinda hinky"

"Hinky?" I ask whilst raising my eyebrow to my dad.

"You act like you've never seen a German Ll-boat in the middle of the jungle before" Nate replies as we all look back the sub.

"Nah, I'm being serious" I could tell he was serious by the look on his face and he hardly ever had that look. but this made Nate laugh "Tell you what why don't you stay here, we'll check it out ourselves, we'll call if we run into any Nazis"

"Yeah you do that" as Nate walks ahead he quickly turns back and hands Drake's journal to my dad "Hold onto this for me, will ya?"

Nate turns to me and smiles and walks ahead, looks like I'm going with him. After climbing for quite some time we finally made it on top of the German Ll-boat, Nate get into the boat first and I went after him, once I got in I look around to see the inside has rusted to not just the outside.

"Okay we're in"

"Whaddya see?"

"Something nasty happened to these guys. There's blood everywhere. And soup" Nate announces as he carries on through the boat, looking over his shoulder sometimes to make sure I'm still with him.

"What?!" My father asks in shock, I'm starting to wish I didn't agree to this, Nate walked up to a small door which is locked, he tries to open it but he could so he turned to me "Can you help?" I nod agree before walking up and help him turn it open and once we opened it we pulled it open and climbed through, I look around to see some old rusted bombs on the boat wall. We both climb into where they controlled it, buttons everywhere.

Nate stops in front of me as he notices something, I look over her shoulder to see a dead, slowly decaying body laying between the doorway. "Eugh" Nate says as he pulls the body from the door and old coin fell out of the body suit. Nate picks two up handing one to me so I can have a look. "Now where did you get this, my decomposing friend"

I put the coin into my pocket and Nate does the same and we carry on down to the front of the boat. "I think the trail just got warm again" I announce with a smile and I hear my father ask through the radio. "How so?"

"Well, we just met a guy with pockets full of Spanish gold, only the coins stamped with a mint mark I've never seen before"

"You're kidding me"

"Looks like our German friends had a little secret" I say to Nate and dad. Nate and I carried on our way until we reached another locked door and we both open it up with difficulty as we opened it I could hear water behind the door. We both climb into the reveal that water filled the room, we must be near the front. We climbed through another door, instead of walking through the water we had to swim as the water had gotten too deep. We didn't swim that long as at the end of the room there was a ladder, Nate got up first and he grabs my hand and pulls me through the hole.

"Thanks," I say and took the lead, I look around to see beds in the boat walls. "Cozy" I hear Nate say as we walk into another room which is obviously the front of the boat as there is a large map on the wall, shelf of books. Nate walks up to a curtain and pulls it open to only reveal another decaying body which seems like the captain. Nate looks over to me and points at the body and I nod. Nate pulls out his radio.

"We're in the Captain Quarters...And get this - he's still here"

"What's that supposed to mean?" My dad asks as I walk up to Nate to answer my dad's question.

"Looks like he was killed...ripped to shreds, actually"

"What a way to go"Nate says and quickly responds "Sounds terrible. Check his wallet" and laugh at what he tells us to do.

"You're all heart, Sully" and grabs something from the man's hand, Nate opens it up revealing a slowly ripping map. "No way," I say as Nate pushes everything off the desk next to us but kept the other map there.

"You've got to be kidding" Nate says as he looks to me with a smile.

"Find anything you two?" We hear my dad ask, we didn't answer as Nate grabs the map and walks towards the large one. "UK2642..." and he keeps repeating it over and over until he finds what he's looking for "Gotcha!"

"Are you alright?" My dad asks as he starts to get worried. Nate laughs in delight as he replies "Sully, you're not gonna believe this."

"Try me"

"I think we found our missing page"

"you're kidding"

"Looks like Drake and our German pals were after the same treasure and We've got the map that going to lead us right to it."

"Nate, this better not be another wild-goose chase. We've got to get something out of this trip or-" and that's when I start to get worried as dad stopped talking. "Or what?" I ask but I had no response. I look over to Nate "Nate we have to go something might have happened."

"Sully...you there?...Sullivan?" and I grab Nate and start pulling him out. I really hope he's ok.
