The boy now wandered the desert again, for he had run away from the comfortable home of his savior.He was intent on something, although he didn't know what.Eventually, he came upon and knew it instantly.
I felt numbness all about me as I slowly opened my eyes to find water surrounding me up to my chest.It was still leaking into the sinker cockpit.Around me were scenes of chaos.And fighting.I did not know what Zev was delivering to the Neo-Zenevas, but it must have been valuable if these people wanted it so badly.I quickly went over my options on what to do.I could not move most of my body.An almost shrieking voice came over the damaged com-link.
"Vytas!Vytas!Are you there, are you okay!?"came the voice of Artemis.I don't know what I would have done without my faithful assistant.
"I don't know, I'm numb."I responded."And as far as I can tell, I'm on the bottom of the ocean."
I knew the battle still raged above, as there were explosions and debris floating down.
"Don't worry, Vladimir should be down to get you."said Artemis in a more calm tone.
"Tell him to hurry, the waters up to my neck!"I yelled back.
I gasped for breath as the water came over my head.For what seemed like forever, I was in a world of smothering blue torment.I could barely make out a war shark descending down upon me, with a cranelike structure attached to the bottom which then latched on and began moving towards the surface with me.When we reached the surface, the wrecked sinker was thrown on the whaleking's deck and I was torn out of the cockpit gasping for air.I spotted Vladimir coming out from the hangar, accompanied by Ace, Artemis, Zev, and a couple of sailors."Vladimir, you saved my life..."
"Eet vas nothing, really."he said with a sense pride he tried to keep concealed."We fought the little mooncalves off!Congratulations me mates."said an elated Captain Zev.
"We almost lost ya there!"said Ace as he pat my back heartily.I was greeted warmly by Artemis, and was then congratulated by some of the sailors.
"So Zev!Whatcha got in the Seasplitter that these guys want so much?"
"I'm sorry, but that info be classified."replied Zev in suspicion.As soon as he finished his sentence, Mrs. Zev burst onto deck and embraced the Captain in a strong hug that caused him to lose his breath.
"Ve have arrived."said Vladimir as he peered over the horizon.I too looked and saw a rocky coast.We were approaching a large sea port with Neo-Zenevas emblems plastered all over it.
"Welcome mates, ta Port Terra Geist."
It took us a while to dock, but when we did, we watched the precious cargo which was kept in enormous steel crates being unloaded onto gustav convoys.A Neo-Zenevas officer signed a few forms, and smiled at Zev."Thank you, we will be on our way."
"I don't think so..."said Zev under his breath as he slipped out a small detonator and pressed a switch on it.There were screams as bodies went flying in inferno caused by the bombs that were thought to be precious cargo.At that moment, countless questions popped into my head, most that were better left unanswered.
Chapter 17 coming soon!(Note:sorry for the short chapter, they will get longer.)
