Note:I apologize for the delay.Things have been very difficult since school started.Anyway, here it is!
The first thing I noticed out of my battle cougar's cockpit window as we entered the port town was that it was chockfull of scoundrels and pirates, or so it seemed.When we parked our zoids in the hangar, and explored the place by foot, it only confirmed my suspisions.The town had numerous ports with massive barges taking in exports and sending out imports to the Central Continent.As we passed a bar, we heard screaming and immense profanity.At this, Artemis's eyes widened."I don't like this town..."he said.
"Don't worry, we won't be staying here long."I reassured him."Believe me, I don't like this place as much as you do. The first thing we have to do is find a hotel room somewhere.Unfortunately, we have to spend the night here.
"First of all, I think we should find some grub."Said Ace."I don't know about you, but I'm starvin"
"Zounds good to me."replied Vladimir."But, ve must also charter a barge across ze ocean.I suppose ve vill do zat in zee morning."
After having a surprisingly nice dinner of seafood, we checked into a hotel.Artemis and I were in one room, Ace and Vladimir in the one next to it.The condition of the rooms was atrocious.Mold and grime covered the walls while the plumbing was abundant with sewer rats, which Artemis found out all to well.He was using the bathroom when I was watching the news.I heard him scream, and a thump.He came running out panting heavily."Son of a ..."I heard him say under his breath."You know there are rats in here!"he said in a shrill voice.
"I kinda figured that by the look of these rooms.", I said.
The small boy awoke in a comfortable bed that reminded him of his home.A hot liquid was poured down his throut by an unseen force.The last thing he remembered before losing conciousness was a kind face looking down upon him.
We eagerly left the hotel in the morning.It seemed Ace and Vladimir had a similar encounter with rats."I tell ya, I was on the crapper when a rat popped right out a there!I swear it was at least three feet!"
"That's bull Ace."said Artemis.Eventually, after several rejections, we found someone to take us to the Central Continent.He brought us into his office and sat us down."Now, me name is Captain Zev.I'll be takin ye across the great ocean fer a price.
"What's your vehicle?"I asked him."A sinker,or a barge?"
"Aharharhar!Good sir, ya really think I have time fer such antiquities?I have state of the art, and it can transport yer four zoids.
"What might this vehicle be?"asked Artemis.
"Well laddie, why don't ya bring your zoids to dock forty five at thirteen hundred hours and see fer yerself."
The deal was made, and we piloted our zoids over to dock 45, to see what Captain Zev had in store.As we piloted onto the dock I gasped as I saw the whale king prepared for departure.
Please, if you read this fic, tell me how you like it!I've had many people read it but not respond.I would really appreciate it! :)Chapter 15 coming soon!
