Nova hears Ace's voice, but its farther down the hole. "Ace! Is
James... With you?" She yells, trying to stop coughing. I'm not
losing anyone! She slides down into the gape in the ground and
lands with a thud at the bottom. She coughs as she stands up. "Ace?
James?"
Nova raises her gun and walks down the tunnel, where she thought
she heard Ace's voice come from. Little did she know she had
started walking the wrong way.
James stared at his knife that he just made. `I need a pipe.` James
thought rubbing his chin. One must be in the sewers he said
climbing back down with a back pack.
Nova follows the tunnel and hears whispering voices. "Ace? James?"
She whispers. As she says this the other voices stop. She enters a
large room and walks into the center. "Well... Hello there..." A
loud deep voice says seemingly out of nowhere. She spins around
looking for the source of the voice. "Who's there?" After which she
coughs.
"Who's there? I could ask you the same question little one..." A
very, very large man, steps out of the shadows in front of her.
Oh god... A giant... I definitely went the wrong way...
"Yeah... Who are you?" Another giant says as he steps out of the
shadows on her right side. Yet another giant steps out on her other
side and two more step out behind her. Crap... "M-my name is
Nova..." She says not coughing this time, but she stuttered in
fear. She was afraid, and she knew it.
James ran and saw the giant he kicked before. "Where is Nova?" He
demanded. "I don't know." the giant boomed. "Well then I suppose
this will be a bother and painful for both of us." James said
tossing his shield at the giants face before rolling under the
giant's legs and grabbing his shield.
"Nova... Hmm... A nice name little one..." The first giant said as
he took a step towards her, the other giants followed suit and each
took a step towards her closing off her escape. "I-I am just
looking for my friends... I think I should go..." She turned to run
but stopped as she saw the two giants that were behind her were
blocking the doorway. "You're not going anywhere little one..." The
first giant said now several steps closer.
James heard doors close and turned a corner seeing Nova's
frightened face before the doors clicked shut. James started to run
but the giant he hit grabbed his leg and threw him down the hall.
Fortunately he removed his shield and it prevented major harm
however his arm would be bruised in the morning. He quickly threw
his shield at the giant's chest and ran underneath the giant
grabbing his cane.
Crap... This is not good... Very not good... Nova turned to
the giant. "What do you want with me?" He began to laugh, and it
filled the room with his deep voice. The other giants joined in on
the laughter and then it all stopped suddenly. "Entertainment
little one... This life is rather boring... But now that you're
here..." As he says this one of the giants from behind her ran up
and grabbed her in his giant hand. She turned to the giant holding
her and shot at him. Click click clickOh no... Oh God
no... This can't be happening...
James almost made it to the door but he crashed to the ground as
his shield hit his back. "Leave me alone and let me get my friend,
and I promise you will be spared." James said to the giant.
"I will help you, however you must promise me my life, and I will
join you guys." the giant said a little loud for Jame's
comfort.
"And why should I trust you?" James asked.
"You maybe able to beat one or two giants but can you beat seven on
your own?" the giant asked.
"Fine! Rescue Nova!" James commanded and then he started too tinker
with the pipes and screws in the sewer.
The giant ran and in one motion he knocked down the doors and tore
off one of the giants heads.
One of the giants was hit with the door, that was the one holding
Nova. He threw her across the room and she slammed into the wall
with a metallic thud. Through blurry vision she grabbed her last
clip and loaded it into her gun. The lead giant glared at the
intruder. "What do you think you're doing?!?" He booms.
"I was never on your side." the giant said slamming another giant
into the ground. However the other giants threw him across the room
and raised axes over Nova and the giant.
Nova managed to stand up and aim her pistol at the lead giant,
seemingly oblivious to the axes above them. "Well... I don't like
you." he said to the giant. "But you, are definitely amusing...
Don't kill her." The axe over Nova was moved over to the other
giant. "I won't kill you right now if you let us both go." Nova
yelled. The other giant laughed and the other giants joined in on
it.
A giant blast of steam hit one of the giants in the face and it
started to scream in agony as its face started to melt off. The
giant fell and the others looked surprised.
The two giants standing with axes fall one at a time as their heads
are shot multiple times with Nova's pistol. She turns to the lead
giant and shoots. Bang click click click "No..." her first
shot missed. The lead giant stormed over to her and grabbed her
around her ribcage squeezing her. "Stupid little one..."
