The Fallen | Risen Book II

Chapter Ninety Seven

The Battle For Fallen Pt.3
Ryder Slade

I crawled through the vents, I actually managed to get a few hours of sleep last night in a vent. Afterward I found a vent leading to the Dungeon and met up with Josh.

He told me about Jayce's plan to attack today, and how I should try to take down Major Skeleton with the help of Maya and Karma.

According to Josh, Karma is actually a spy sent here by Jayce to get more information on Major Skeleton's plan.

I should've guessed.

I went back to the vents, and hunted down the location of Major Skeleton when all hell broke loose outside.

I heard gunfire, screams, undead moans and roaring of airplanes overhead.

I crawled quicker, and found a small group of guards in the hallway, alongside them is Karma and Maya, and leading them is Major Skeleton.

As they turned the corner I kicked the grate off of the vent and slowly crept after them.

They stopped at the elevator to the vault, and Major Skeleton pressed a few buttons on the pad.

The doors opened and Major Skeleton, along with Elliot and his daughters walked inside.

"Stand guard" Major Skeleton ordered the two guards that were accompanying them.

Once the elevator doors closed I sprung into action. I jumped around the corner and pointed my super energy pistol at the guards head and fired twice, once for each guard.

I figured not to worry about the sound of the guards dropping dead, or the sound coming from my energy pistol since all hell was outside these walls.

I swiped one of the guards key cards from his pocket and placed it in the slot.

the light blinked red.

"Shit" I mumbled to myself. The key card isn't linked to the vault, why would it be?

New plan.

I pulled out something else I stole from the Fight Pits. According to Shane this is a device he used to get through a sealed door silently. I noticed Max's last name printed into the steel of this large black gear like shaped device.

I planted it on the wall of a vault and pressed the large red button on the front. The moment I did the gear shaped box device thing lit up and two long arms extended out of the sides.

They were like blowtorches, they drilled into the steal vault door. and started spinning around slowly to make a hole into the elevator door. 

When the hole was made, just like in a spy movie the junk of the door fell out into the hallway. Revealing the elevator shaft.

I grabbed onto the elevator's rope and  in a very fire man pole style, slid down the rope until I reached the bottom.

I quickly found a air vent in the roof of the elevator and jumped through it. Quick to duck down and walk out of the elevator.

I walked over to one of the displays of the vault and saw the four other people at the other end of the Vault.

"get back upstairs and secure the building!" Major Skeleton ordered to Elliot as the entire building shook.

"But sir" Elliot argued.

"Ugh" Major Skeleton mumbled reaching into his pocket and throwing Elliot a small brown cloth bag full of some kind a metal. It sounded like coins.

"There's your pay, now get back upstairs and keep this place secure. Don't come down here until the battle is over!" Major Skeleton shouted as Elliot turned and ran back to the elevator.
