Sky City Wars

Jungle Prison

Aaron was running towards the bridge when he slammed into Sik. "Where is my dad and Gordon?" Asked Aaron. "They went to shore." Said Anise. "And exactly where are we? I don't remember space being sunny and bright." Said Aaron. "We are in the Cayman Islands." Said Anise. "Why?" Asked Aaron. "The second piece to the key is here." Said Anise.

Sik grabbed his head and swayed. "Ouch, now I know what a migraine feels like." Said Sik. "What happened?" Asked Aaron. "I got a message from your father. He put this mental signal in so when he's in distress I will be able to save him." Said Sik. 

"So they are in trouble?" Asked Aaron. "Yes, I've pinpointed there location." Said Sik walking onto the deck with Aaron close behind. "Also Anise, he said there is an army of men with spears and swords coming to attack the ship. So fight back with anything." Said Sik. "Thank you. I'll keep a lookout." Said Anise. "Aaron. Hop on my back." Said Sik. "What?" Asked Aaron. "Trust me." Said Sik. Aaron shrugged and jumped on his back. Sik kicked his heels and they blasted into the sky towards the island. 

"I see the men coming towards the ship." Said Aaron. Sik landed on the beach a couple seconds later. "Okay, I see them now." Said Anise. "Sik where are they?" Asked Aaron. "They are in the middle of the jungle." Said Sik. "Lead the way." Said Aaron. Sik walked forward with Aaron behind him. 

"Gordon, just stop. The guards will hear." Said Harold. "Sik and Aaron haven't made it yet." Said Gordon slamming his shoulder into the door for the thirtieth time. "What is going on in there. Settle down." Said the guard. Gordon stepped back and fell to the ground. They heard a loud grunt and a thud and loud footsteps. 

"Hello?" Asked Gordon. "Probably another guard who didn't like this one." Said Harold. "Hey Gordon, hey Harold." Said Aaron. "Hay is for horses." Said Harold. "Funny for a man in trouble." Said Sik. "Gotta keep my hopes up." Said Harold standing up. Sik yanked the padlock and the door swung open. 

Gordon walked out of the room rubbing his shoulder. "Thank you Sik." Said Gordon. "Yes, thank you very much." Said Harold. Sik started to lead them out of the tunnel when they heard voices. "Oh, these guys again." Said Sik. "Again?" Asked Aaron. "The same ones from the boat." Said Sik. Four men walked around the corner and started yelling. They charged with spears and swords. 

Harold ducked as a blade swung above him and Aaron jumped as someone jabbed at his legs with a spear. A spear shattered as it hit Sik. Gordon grabbed a rock and chucked it at the spear man who fell dead. The sword man swung again and Harold grabbed his wrist and dislocated it. He grabbed the sword and stabbed the man in the neck. 

Harold yanked the sword out and grabbed the sheath from the dead mans body. "Ah, a new weapon." Said Harold sheathing his sword. Gordon laughed and grabbed a double sided spear and snapped it in half to create two three foot long spears. Aaron sheathed a dagger and Sik crossed his arms. 

"We look like a superhero team, but we have one crazy Russian Galactic Force member gone rouge, a supposedly dead robot, two people who don't belong and a ship based off a Spanish Galleon." Said Harold. "Sounds amazing." Said Gordon. "We can go to war." Said Aaron. "Very unlikely." Said Sik. "Well we need to find that last key piece." Said Harold. "How?" Asked Aaron. "With technology!" Yelled Harold. 

Everyone looked at Harold. "Ha, we don't have any." Said Harold. "I am technology." Said Sik. "Sik, do you still have the frequency scanner installed?" Asked Harold. "Yes I do." Said Sik. Harold handed him the first piece. There was a small buzz and then Sik looked towards the trees. 

"I have found it twenty yards away." Said Sik. "Where?" Asked Gordon. "In a temple. Underground." Said Sik. "Lead the way." Said Gordon. Sik started walking forward and they walked into the jungle. Harold stepped down on a stone walkway. There was a loud grinding noise and a door opened up. 

"Look a there." Said Gordon. "A door." Said Aaron. "No one is in sight." Said Sik. "Okay lets walk." Said Aaron and they walked into the temple. The door closed behind them and they kept walking down the hall. 

"Sik where is the piece?" Asked Harold. "Five yards away." Said Sik. They stopped above a chasm and 5 yards across it lay the piece, on an alter. "Why with the alters?" Asked Harold. "They can alter your decisions." Said Sik. "Not now Sik." Said Harold. 

"How can we reach the alter?" Asked Aaron. "A bridge." Said Harold. "What bridge?" Asked Gordon. "That one." Said Harold as a bridge fell from the ceiling. "How, how did you do that?" Asked Gordon. "That lever right there." Said Harold pointing at a lever. 

They walked across the bridge and Gordon reached for the alter. "No. Don't do that." Said Harold. "Why?" Asked Gordon. "Have you ever seen Indiana Jones?" Asked Harold. "Oh, but that was made up." Said Gordon grabbing the piece. The alter lowered into the ground and the bridge collapsed into the chasm. 

"You were right." Said Gordon. The temple rumbled and Harold leaned to the ground. "Do you hear that?" Asked Harold. "Hear what?" Asked Gordon. "Shh. Water." Said Harold. "Water?" Asked Gordon. "Yes and filling in fast." Said Harold. All of a sudden a huge rush of water seeped into the chasm like a rushing river. They looked at the entrance and it collapsed. 

"No way of getting out of here." Said Aaron. "Actually there is." Said Harold. "How so?" Asked Gordon. "Wait for the water. Above us there is a hole in the ceiling." Said Harold. "Only way to get through is one person at a time." Said Aaron. "Then it is what it is." Said Gordon. 

The water pooled around their ankles and in a few seconds was at their waists. "Ready? Sik and Gordon first. Then Harold and I." Said Aaron. "Got it." Said Gordon. They floated near the top  and Sik climbed out. He reached down and grabbed Gordon. Harold pulled himself up. Aaron was reaching out for Harold's hand when something grabbed his foot. 

"Something got me." Said Aaron. "Kick it loose." Said Harold. "I can't." Said Aaron kicking his leg. He lost his grip on Harold's hand and sunk below the water with the thing pulling him down below.
