Chapter 6: Time to Kill 'Em All

Previous Chapter

   I look around and see a deserted wasteland. It looks a lot like a rock farm, but who the hell farms rocks? The pace also looked covered in snow, the rocks only barely showing. "Where are we?" I ask to anyone.

   "You're at a rock farm," a monochrome voice said. I turned to see where the voice came from (expecting Bella from "Twilight"), and see a grey pony with a dull shade of purple for her hair color. She was as plain as computer paper. But she was pretty, so it was fine, I guess. Her dress was also dull. It was a faded shade of blue with a black belt around her.

   "Oh," I say, "Well, I figured that. You know where the Devil's Playground is?" She looked confused.

   "You mean Fort Diablo?" she corrected. I look at her blankly.

   "Yeah, that sounds about right," I say, "What's the directions?"

   "Five miles north," the pony said.

   "Thanks," I say as I help up Umbra and Firefly, "C'mon guys, we got an adventure ahead of us."

   "Yeah!" the kid shouts, "I love adventures!" We then go through the snow filled, rocky tundra. The air pressure was really low. I didn't have anything to measure the air pressure, but I saw my own breath, so I assumed it was low. And I saw three others' breath. Wait, three?

   "Everyone get down!" I yell as quietly as I can. Everyone then ducked, and I saw the breath trail coming toward us. I heard a faint chuckling. I then saw a second breath trail behind it. "Stay right here," I whisper.

   "Wait," Firefly whisper back, "I wanna come!"

   "No," I reply, "You stay there! I can't risk you!"

   I then heard a faint "Warten Sie, ich habe etwas gehört!"

   Nazis. It's always Nazis. I assumed they saw us, as they came near us. They then pointed their guns to us and said "Es! Jetzt fick sie auf!"

But before they could shoot us, Firefly used his horn to shoot them.

   "Holy fuckin' shit!" I yell, "That was awesome!"

   "What did I tell you about cursing around my kid?" Umbra asked.

   "Oh, sorry," I reply.

   I checked their bodies for loot. One of them had a candy bar and a gun. Another had a knife and a rifle; the same one as his comrade. I gave Firefly the candy bar. He deserved it. "Alright, guys," I said, "let's get a move on." And we did just that. I remembered I still had the walkie talkie from Mortimar. I talked into the microphone of the walkie talkie.

   "Hey, Mortimar!" I say, "I hope you know that we just robbed and killed two of your men already!"

   "Is that so?" he replies "Then try and see if you can get out of THIS!"

   I then heard a static noise at the end of he rambling. Then machine guns came from the ground and started firing. We all ducked behind a giant rock. The rock looked like it would barely hold. So I then used my lightning hexen. It worked, but I felt empty. Like, literally. "Hey," I say, "Do you know about hexens, Umbra?"

   "Yeah," Umbra said, "If you need a recharge, you need to suck up blood." I looked around and saw the two dead Germans on the ground. I decided to walk over there and steal their blood.

   I felt so full. So great. So...energetic. Now that I got everything down, we just needed to go straight to the Devil's Playground. Look out Mortimar, because you're about to have your ass handed to you.
