Action Adventure / Riptide chpt. 2
Chapter 2: Trask.
Kendal continued forward until he had been stopped at a chain link fence with a small closed door. On one side was a soldier standing so still “it” looked like it was just a suit of armor, on the other side was a giant robot. Wires interweaved through the robots steel plates and it resembled a large dragon mixed with a human. It’s back was hunched and its hands hung forward, its legs like that of a raptor. Kendal stared at the robot and soon it turned its head and it was followed by a series of clicks and whirrs. The wires on the side of its head obviously had some sort of liquid flowing through them.
Kendal watched in awe and the robot glared at him and lifted one massive hand, placing it on his shoulder. Kendal jumped in fear but was held in place by the robot’s soft yet rock solid grip. was Sie betrachtend sind, Bewegen ” It growled and pushed Kendal through the door. His heart was racing and he retreated from the robot into what looked like a small mess hall.
The room was filthy; The walls were stained with water and blood, to accompany the indiscriminate puddles on the old blue tiles of the mess hall floor. Men and women, covered in dirt ate quietly, afraid to anger the large menacing guards. One table was centered in the middle of the small room. It’s metal framework was rusted to the point where it looked as if it was to crumble apart at any minute.
At the end of the table was a small colored man and for some reason he stuck out to Kendal, being the first noticed by him. The man had bright green eyes and a small flattened nose. He bore a prominent scar that ran along his left eyebrow and abruptly stopped aside his left eye. Kendal turned his gaze to the rooms condition and shuddered before taking a seat across from the man. He looked up from his meal for a brief second whispering “hello” then returned to his task of finishing his meal.
Another man (who seemed to be twitching constantly) leaned forward getting a look at Kendal pushing his glasses up. “A.. Are you new here? D.. do you k.. know where there taking us? How long am I going to be here?” he flooded Kendal with questions.
Kendal looked to him but did not know how to answer any of his questions but was soon saved by the man across from him. “Chaz… Calm down, you don’t want them to hear you.” he whispered urgently. Kendal opened his mouth but soon closed it, getting the hint, however, Chaz did not.
“How c-” he was cut off by the but of a gun on the top of his head. He looked up to be face to face with A Guard, His red eyes flaring “stoppen Sie zu sprechen” the guard barked. Kendal did not know what he was saying but dared not talk. “I.. I’m sorry” said Chaz, flinching. “the guard slammed the but of the rifle into Chaz’s head, sending him down onto the table. “Ich sagte Sie zu sprechen!” Kendal’s eyes were focused on Chaz.
He cursed in pain and the guard smiled and thrust the gun into his head again, knocking him out this time. “nimm ihn weg” he said to the others in the room as they ran forth and grabbed him by the arms, dragging him out of the room. The colored man shook his head “He just doesn’t know when to stop does he” the rest of the people sitting at the table simply lowered their heads and continued eating. Kendal stared at him then shifted his gaze to the others.
“Why are you all just sitting there?” he asked “He.. Chaz is obviously your friend..” he directed towered the colored man “why didn’t you stop them?”. The man frowned and scowled at Kendal “the name is Trask and trust me you wouldn’t have gotten 5 steps without a nice led souvenir in your head. Not to mention we are all going to die in Stigmata.” he paused “Lets just say I do not have much hope left.”
Kendal looked him in the eyes, “Die?” he asked “n.. no there is a pipe just down the way” he pointed and was cut off by the Guards entering the room. They stood in a line as one rose in front of them, the Leaders symbol was green instead of the usual red. “Stehen Sie Auf” The leader barked and motioned his hands upwards. Trask stood first, followed by the others. Kendal repeated their actions. The guards all whispered in their language and Kendal leaned over to Trask “what are they saying?” he whispered.
Trask raised his eyebrow at Kendal “you mean to tell me you can’t speak German now?” he whispered, studying Kendal “they are ready to take us to Stigmata.” Kendal’s eyes widened “we can escape, there is a large pipe down that way that I believe can lead us right out of here.” he whispered urgently to Trask pointing. The people around Kendal had started to walk and the robot made slow, lumbering, steps behind them.
Trask shook his head “It’s no use” he paused looking at the robot “even If we didn’t get shot the robot would kill us before we could say Slim Jim.” Trask chuckled at his own comment and continued walking. Kendal stopped and thought about his comment for a second before leaning close to his ear. “We are all going to die in Stigmata anyway.” Trask glared at him and put his hand on the doorway on the way out of the mess hall. “ok..” he said. Kendal stopped and smiled “follow me… NOW!”
They both Whirled around and bolted through the door. The guards screamed and the robot twisted it’s enormous form and majestically pursuit them on all fours. Kendal focused on the chain link fence which was now cleared of Guards. Bullets could be heard apart from the angry cries of the guards pushing past the prisoners. Trask jumped onto the fence and begin climbing it. The fence rattled as Kendal hopped over the top, Trask not far behind.
They had both landed on the ground in unison seconds before a smash was heard and the robot cleared the fence in one jump, crushing the tiles slightly. Kendal busted through the door he had entered only about 40 minutes ago and found himself in the old playground once again. This slight “De ja vu” was soon ended by Kendal being thrust forward by Trask.
They both scrambled into the tunnel and a crash echoed through it as the robot smashed the entrance with one massive metal arm. Rubble flew into the old playground equipment, easily smashing it. Kendal and Trask watched as it snorted furiously soon and the entrance collapsed on itself, Making the tunnel completely pitch black. They both sat for a second to hear a Guard yell to the robot “Töten Sie Sie!” “Come on” Kendal whispered and made his way down the slow stream.
From the darkness emitted “thanks” Kendal smiled to himself “don’t thank me yet” he paused, thinking “Where am I?” he asked Trask “I’ll tell you when we are out of here.” he said thinking to himself how strange this new, courageous person was.” Kendal and Trask neared a light at the end of the tunnel and looked out, spotting a large lake “wanna go first?” Kendal asked with a laugh but was cut off by the sound of more screams then a torrent of water rushing from the back of the tunnel “sh-” the both screamed but were cut off by the water thrashing into their bodies and every thing soon turned black.

part 2 hell yeah >D=best notes on Urbis lol
Other than that explain in the notes the he got teleported to the future or past, because I read the first chapter and still dont know whats going on. I know you will explain it so I wont complain about that. So far I’m enjoying the story…it’s not boring and I’m still interested by the plot. I like the whole german speaking…it made me feel lost and confused just like the main character.
