Dragons : The Dragon Hunt

66. Arrived in Agartha

~~~Part 2 - The Agarthan Grounds~~~

As we came nearer and nearer to the place to the Agarthan surface, the more we readied ourselves to deploy our chutes. We didn't think about something like 'Yay! We arrived on Agartha' or something like that, but instead we only took focus on where would we land on the surface. This place is still very unexplored from the humans, and were the first to come here, illegally. That is why I told them to bring our own foods here, this place is entirely different from our civilization on the over world, even the species present on this place is entirely different! Well, you could guess that a Tyrannosaurus Rex could live in this place deep beneath the surface of the Earth. I started to estimate the deploy of the parachutes as we descend down the surface. As we saw the surface more clearly, I tried to observe what place are we landing. It was a forest, a forest of coconuts? Those aren't coconuts, those are like coconut leaves but more - wider? They looked like a mushroom for instance but the same time, like coconuts. Now I began to think that this place is the most mysterious of the mysterious. Then I looked around to see if there are more odd objects and plant on the area. I looked at the far east side to see a complete plain, vast enough to fit the whole Greenland in it. That part was a desert, because I quickly noticed that the ground color was brownish-yellow, I knew it was grains of sand on that area so I called that part as a desert.. Then the rest sides are almost forest, the mushroom-coconut mutation crossbreed, which is tall as some Coast Redwood Trees in California. The trunk was still like the diameter of a regular coconut, but the leaves are almost completely covering the ground, nine to fifteen meters long while the width is about 3-4 meters to be exact. Their colors are all dark green, including the trunk ,while their displacement from each tree is about almost 16 meters away. There were a little amount of clouds that are present in the Agarthan atmosphere. And I think (More like hope) that there is no more problems coming to us. For the final check, I glanced at my watch to check the information about the oxygen level etc., etc., the gravitational pull is still the same as back on surface; temperature is now about 37 degrees Celsius; the oxygen amount is still plenty for us, about 92 percent. Meanwhile, I demanded the boys to release their chutes and follow my lead because we are now at the last mile, 1274 miles below sea level, which is particularly we need to release our chutes now.

"Release the chutes now! Deploy, deploy!", I yelled through the radio, demanding them to release their chutes, as I finally pulled a handle on my right side and the suspension lines and the canopy of the chutes began to emerge from my back. As soon as the canopy had caught up the wind, my speed began to decrease very fast. The force of the chute that has caught up in the wind was so powerful that I almost felt my ribs crack, due to the sudden brake from tremendous speeds.I glanced at the boys to see if they obeyed me, all the boys followed me other than Kent - wait! Why is Kent not deploying his parachute?! A huge problem again and again, I take back what I said a while ago. I looked back at him back and started calling him. Luckily, he was still above us, about 800 meters closing in near my direction, he was still going at more than 400 miles an hour so it would be painful if a caught him directly.

"Kent, why aren't you releasing your parachute!", I asked him, thundering through the radio but at the same time worried. He was was straining on his chute, I heard grunts and exertion on his chute's handle. He was closing in, fast, he still tried to pull the chute's handle but still as I look back, no sign of a canopy of the chute or something.

"What's the matter Kent?!", I asked him again, still worried at him. This time, he answered finally at me. He was now closing at me, 300 meters away, so I readied myself to be released from the chute and dive towards him. I loosened my straps around me to ready myself to intersect him on the dive. On that time, he tried to yank the the chute, it was still jammed.
