Broken Knowledge

Chapter 13

     "I'm so glad we thought to put that tracker in Pearl's crown." Marie said.
     "Yeah. The cap'n might be old, but he's still got some brains." Vian said.
     The group was small team of four was riding a helicopter to where the tracker was leading them.
     "I just hope we can get there in time." Callie said.
     "Yeah." Bridgett said, nodding her head.

                           :(

     "Dammit!" Mara yelled, slamming her fists into the bars of her cell. She was pissed that there was nothing she could do to help Alan, but she desperately wanted to escape to help him.
     Then Aiden appeared. The Inkling girls, and the octoling girl, in the room gasped at his appearance. He no shirt on, and had a massive bandage around his chest. Her looked like he was severely hurt and they could see the pain in his eyes.
     A splatter-shot, appeared in Mara's cell. Duelies in Pearl's, and a charger in Marina's.
     Aiden suddenly began bleeding from his eyes. He also had a nosebleed and blood ran from the side of his mouth.
     "Are you okay!" Mara exclaimed.
     "Don't worry about me,"Aiden said."Escape, save Alan and get out here."
     Aiden was fading."And don't expect me back. The strain from giving you 3 this stuff will probably kill me."
     Aiden was gone before they could say anything.
     "Well, stop standing around," Pearl exclaimed. "Let's go!"
     Don't worry Alan! Mara though as she shot ink on the ground and swam through it, escaping her cell. I'm gonna you out!
    
                                :)

     Alan was being tortured. Not physically though. The Dictator had hired some people to play with his mind. They played sounds and videos of his family's death, they showed him images of his fears, and worst of all...
     They showed him the remnants of home town. And they showed him videos of the people of the town being tortured and murdered.
     It turns out, the people of the town found out about what the government did to Alan and his family and revolted. They were consequenced without mercy for this.
     "NOOOOOOOOO STOOOOOPPPPP PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEEEE

                         OoO

"EEEEEEE"
     Mara jerked her head up. She knew exactly who that scream belonged to.
     "Alan!"she cried."We're coming!"
     "Yo 3, this could be a trap!" Pearl shouted, but Mara ignored her and ran towards the sounds of his cries.
     She barged in the room and tackled the first person she saw, which was a ratty looking man(human) wearing a pair of nerdy glasses.
     Pearl and Marina sprinted in after her and open fired on the Octolings in the room. The Octolings, caught by surprise, were splatted without problems, and Mara has beaten the man to a bloody pulp, her hands covered in blood.
     Mara wiped her hands of on the man's clothes and untied Alan.
     He feel into her arms, shaking and crying.
     "Did they hurt you!"Mara demanded.
     Alan said nothing, but pointed at the large TV screen.
     Mara looked at the images. She was disgusted and horrified by what she saw. She slammed her fist through the TV, breaking it.
     "C'mon Alan,"Mara said."Let's get out of here."
     Alan wrapped his arms around her and stumbled out of the room, still shaking.
     "Not so fast bitch!" A German accented voice yelled from the tap to their left.
     They group looked to see a man that legit looked almost exactly like Hitler. And he was pointing a handgun at them.
     "This ends here." the Door aimed and fired at Alan.
     "Mara!"Alan cried as Mara pushed him away.
     "Noooo!"he cried as the bullet entered her chest. Mara fell, and Alan caught her before she got the ground.
     The Dictator was gone, but his laughing echoed through the halls.
     Alan pucked Mara up, cradling her like a baby.
     "Let's go!" He shouted.
     They sprinted through the halls, Mara drifting in and out of consciousness during this time.
     For time strange reason, they met no resistance. No guards attempted to stop them.
     This is part of the Dictator's sick mind games. Alan thought. He's letting me go so I can see Mara die, but I'm not gonna let her die.
     After they got outside, Alan's phone rang.
     Marina picked it out of his pocket and answered.
     "Hello?"she said.
     "Oh thank cod!"a relieved voice said.
     "Callie?!"Marina shouted.
     "Yes!"
     "Momina!"
     "Marina!"
     "Oh thank cod!"
     The voices all yelled at once on the other side of the phone.
     "We're almost there to get you!"Callie said.
     "Alan."Mara said painfully,(and so quietly, it was barely a whisper,) putting her hand on Alan's cheek.
     Alan shushed her gently."You're gonna be okay."
     They could hear helicopter blades in the distance.
     "3's hurt!"Marina said.
     "What?!" 5 voices in the other side exclaimed. (The pilot counts to, he was a 17 year old Inkling boy.)
     "She was shot by a human gun."
     "Don't bullshit us."Callie said.
     "Humans are extinct."Vian said.
     "Well, not anymore." Alan said.
     The copper landed and as soon as the doors opened, Bridgett launched herself out and hugged Marina happily.
     "Momina okay!"she said happily.
     "Yes I'm okay."she said, hugging Bridgett back.
     "But Mara isn't!"Alan exclaimed.
     Callie, Marie, Vian, and the pilot appeared ready to fire away wearing, but Alan interrupted them by raising his arm and saying,"Questions later, Mara needs help!"
     They loaded up on the copper, and the last thing Mara thought before blacking out completely was
     At least Alan's okay.
