Gojinn was unsure of what to do. Red was pissing them off more and more. Maybe he could get them to kill Red, or try, and he could escape. He wasn’t sure how he’d get them to fall for it, but that didn’t matter, as Red and Gojinn were shoved in different directions, towards doors on the opposite side of the pyramid. Two men on either side of the throne began turning cranks, and the throne slowly rose higher and higher. The flat topped pyramid opened as the cranks were wound, and the King surfaced up top, as the cranks stopped, and left a huge pillar in the center of the dark pyramid. Gojinn and Red struggled with their lack of guards now, but were still too weak.
I still want you dead!
Here’s hoping they throw you in a lava pit!
And you onto………………….. a bed of long spikes to rot for life.
Creative.
Not really…
Suddenly, Red realized why Gojinn had stuttered slightly, as they exited out the small opening of the pyramid and overlooked a large bed of spikes. Gojinn and Red froze, unsure of what would happen, but both men were turned, and escorted up a long set of stairs. At last, they reached the top of the pyramid. A bell was ringing at each corner of the city, and as both men were escorted to the edge of the top of the pyramid, they saw the entire city of Atlantis. Such an advanced city…
And all of the inhabitants were standing and cheering from the bottom of the pyramid! Red and Gojinn looked at each other, and then were yanked back, and kicked down to their knees. Pissed off, they again tried freeing themselves, but were slammed down onto their forearms, bowing at the crowd practically. Two masked men with enormous axes took a step towards the two downed men and raised them high. The King stood, raising his staff. Gojinn and Red looked at each other, they knew this was the end…
And then the worst happened.
On all sides of the pyramid, Earth shifted, and dirt began to jump and shift. The King crouched slightly, trying to keep his balance, while the other men desperately just tried to stand. Gojinn and Red both sat upright, and threw themselves back down, trying to keep from the edges.
It was an Earthquake and the entire island was shaking. Gojinn and Red knew their history, or at least enough to know what was about to start happening, and they cursed themselves for the shit luck they were having tonight. Gojinn spread his wings, or rather, the ragged, burnt skin, and bones, and slapped the few guards around him back. He stood, sweeping his wings, knocking the remaining members down. The King lifted his staff now, pressing a hidden button that shot a dagger out, and tried to stab Gojinn!!!
Red moved in the way though, and the dagger slammed the poorly constructed shackles, breaking them to pieces. He turned and leveled the king with a good shot, and kicked another guard off the top of the pyramid!! The bastard rolled and slid down the thing until he slammed onto the bed of spikes on the outside….
Gojinn crouched on his knees, definitely tired as hell, and drained of all energy. He looked at Red, who started to walk away.
Hey, hey, hey!! What the fuck?! Get your ass back here!
Enjoy life.
Oh… look out behind ya dickhead!!
Grinning, Gojinn watched as a guard raised his sword, and sliced at Red, catching his shoulder as he ducked forward thanks to Gojinn’s advice. He spun and grabbed the guard around his throat, completely tossing him with one hand through the air off the edge.
There are THOUSANDS of people on this island! We both know it’s about to sink! We need to get the fuck out of here now! You need my help! I need yours!
Red looked around, seeing soldiers inside of the city panicking, cutting down whoever was in the way. The people of Atlantis were running everywhere, and no one knew what to do. Fires were starting, buildings were crumbling all around. He turned and looked at Gojinn, who was standing now, and Red punched him in the stomach, and reached over his back, grabbing a mans hands, clutched around a sword. Gojinn brought his wings back… what was left of them, crushing the mans neck, breaking it instantly. He stood back up, looking at Red with a red face… angered.
Thanks I guess….
He grabbed the chain on Gojinn’s shackles, and yanked away, shattering it to pieces. Gojinn stretched his arms and legs, and swept up a sword, nodding to Red, who turned and began to the next floor. Gojinn stopped for a second, and turned, seeing the King stand with his staff, pulling it into two pieces, revealing a sword blade now. The REAL King grinned, and stepped, kicking the sword from his hands, and grabbed the King of Atlantis by the throat, lifting him off his feet high into the air.
Bow down to the KING!
He pulled the blade back, and forced it through his stomach, allowing the King to gasp and choke on his blood, spraying it everywhere. Gojinn lowered him, and then stepped back, and then forward, kicking him in the chest, pulling his sword back, and spinning, cutting off his head, as the King flew off the pyramid…down…down…down into the spike pit. Red was fighting down the stairs, and Gojinn leaned over the edge, seeing him struggling. Gojinn swept up a spear, and jumped onto the edge of the pyramid, sliding down the side…
He pulled the spear back, when Red was about to bite it, he pitched the spear right at the man ready to lop his head off his shoulders. The soldier flew back and down the stairs, as Red kicked his other challenge down them, and ran down the rest, trying to keep up.
COME ON!!! THE WHOLE ISLAND IS GONNA FUCKING SINK! WE NEED A GODDAMN BOAT!!!!
Red laughed, as Gojinn threw his sword at a solder waiting with a spear. He went down, and Gojinn pressed off the pyramid, flipping out and onto the ground. They would need to fight their way put of the city to the beach now. Soldiers and towns people had armed themselves, and they were screaming things at them, clearly blaming the newcomers of the island for its destruction.
Gojinn and Red needed to fight, and the King swept up a new sword, and a spear, which he broke in half for easy usage. Red stopped beside him, as they stared at the gate to the pyramid, watching their enemies pour in.
