{“In recent news famous rapper known by his stage name ‘Keychain’ has reportedly told on his former gang affiliates in order to be let out of the aquarium on house arrest, the hip-hop community is”}—
“—Take dat off dawg,
I now hear sumting.”
Currently the island is being occupied by members of Poseidon, a ‘group’ of sorts…
A stolen foundation generator was pinpointed to be somewhere on this island,
For what reason is yet to be known.
Roux island a cliffy landmass located near the south sea, an unpopulated region of the second ring due to the spiky rocks that come up out of the ocean…
The barren island contains a singular mansion that can be seen from out at sea, the remainder of the island is filled with artificial trees and bushes
These type of plastic plants are fairly common these days despite the fact that it is nearly impossible to grow real plants regularly, the aesthetic of nature has become quite a valuable commodity…
The plastic trees stand still barely reacting to the cool night’s breeze as their shadows cast down onto the ground below,
And within these shadows is where three figures silently move….
………
“I nuh hearin nun
U sure thy was not a bat?”
“When lass you hear bats out here?
Dem ting prolly done gone extinct,”
“Ite nah, go ahead and doubt me, watch de news nah,
See I ain warn yuh…”
In the upstairs front gallery two armed men watch over the area surrounding the island…
…..
“Dawg you hearin dis on d news?
D man snitch—” one has his eyes glued to a tv screen,
“—Meen care bout that, jed, we hava job to do stop fuqin playin arong”
“All we hadda do is watch u actin like issa big task,” the news watcher retorts
“Bredda if sumbody sneak pass we—”
Pheow!
—All lights in the mansion suddenly go off
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrt!
“Aye aye aye!”
“We hava intrudah!!”
Shouts followed by gunfire come from below,
The two men in the gallery look at each other dumbfoundedly…
…..
“See wah I tell yuh!”
“Lehwe go quick!”
Picking up their arms the men rush into the lightless mansion…
……
****
“We’ve disabled their power, Kiefer sir,
I need you to fly the jet closer so that we can immediately prepare for our exit once,”
Pbzaat!

“Shoot! I’m not getting a signal through yet,
Seems like someone else is still intercepting our communications—”
Pezow!
“Ughn!”
Forming a small gun in her right hand, Himari quickly disables an incoming foe, we both continue to stealthily navigate through the mansion
“RAghh!”
“Get him he hava sword we have guns!”
Apollo as the diversion, is at the other end of the normally abandoned mansion,
(By the sound of things, he is doing well)
“Do you want to use one of my blasters?” asks Himari looking disapprovingly at the bow in my hand
“That is not nearly as efficient for a job like this,”
(I realized)
“This isn’t a regular bow,” I reply indignantly
(Still can’t do anything special with it)
Pezow!
She fires another shot at an unexpecting man,
The mansion is pitch black right now, if not for the built-in night vision into our helmets, we would be just as lost as the Poseidon members right now,
(What exactly even is Poseidon?)
Pezow!
(No time to think about it now)
“So how do we find this generator?” I turn to Himari,
She ignores me, moving swiftly- but cautiously, through the dark interior,
Besides the bullets and yells from the other side of the mansion the only other sound is our footsteps,
Instead of tapping the ground normally, each step makes the ground echo weirdly…
“Psszt!”
I poke Himari—
…!!
—She spins around at once and points one of her blasters in my face,
“Listen, to our footsteps” I slap her hand out the way,
“There is something below, and not just another room
Do you hear the hollowness?
It’s most likely a wide enclosure of sorts,”
“……
My helmet’s heat sensors isn’t picking anything up” informs Himari peering at the ground,
“Either way we will eventually have to search this whole place……"
……..
“Aye thy two ah dem!”
“Shhhh!
Doh let dem hear yuh,
Gimme d bazooka,
Boi ago die tonight!”
Click!
….!?
(What was that sound just now?
A gun?)
!!!!!
“Himari move!—”
Shove!
—D0000M!
“I mange to get us both out of the way as mini rocket shatters a wall which we just stood in front.
“Where are they!?” Himari immediately springs back up
“The balcony up there, I think the shot came from there!” I point
……….
“Oh gosh man!
Dey not dead dawg!”
“Aye-aye watch out hoarse!!”
Peywum! Peywum!
Peywum! Peywum!
Peywum! Peywum!
Karina lets a wave of energy shots up at the second-floor balcony
“Nah thy foundation weapons dawg
We hadda get out ah here!”
“We have a frickin’ rocket an you wah run!?”
“In case u neva notice d rest ah dem fellas not here, dey either dead or run
And I looking tuh run too!”
“But wah bout the Holy—!”
—PWEYUM!!
{“This is Chief Kiefer have you secured it yet!?”}
Himari brings her hands together forming her two individual blasters into a slim cannon.
While two voices were busy debating whether to stay or run, the government agent fires a devastating blast that drops the second-floor balcony to the first.
(Maybe I should put away my bow)
…….
Almost on que the voice of chief Kiefer speaks into our communicators,
…………..
{“This is Chief Kiefer have you secured it yet!?”}
“Not yet chief, we are rounding up the Poseidon members right now,”
{“That isn’t priority Agent Nara, the higher-ups specifically said to secure the generator and get out,”}
“But we still have to detain the criminals sir,”
{“Afraid that isn’t the objective”} sighs Kiefer
………
“You!” I aim my bow at one of the men caught in rubble of the second floor,
“Where is the—”
“—Pffft!” a man crushed in rubble tries to force a laugh
“You really come here with ah bow dawg?
I woulda be clowning you rell bad if wasn’t in pain right now”
“Big man woulda be better off coming with a frying pan and done” his companion adds
“Is like dem letting anybody in d police nowadays,”
“Start talking now!” Himari pushes Infront of me,
(I don’t know if I should feel offended or thankful)
Even with the helmet on, I feel like I can see Himari’s visible frustration on not being permitted to arrest these ‘criminals’
(Why would the government not want to detain the people that stole from them?)
“It not here anymore yuh too late!” spits one of the men defensively,
“It’s still here,” from the other side of the mansion Apollo marches in,
He barely has any scratches on him
(I feel sorry for all those men he fought)
“Once I started pummeling, people started talking,
They didn’t say exactly but it appears they are building something with it”
“Building what?!” Himari turns back to the men on the ground
Churrrrrn!
“I now already say,
Yuh done too late,” the Poseidon member smirks,
(Obviously bluffing)
Churrrrrn!
(What is that churning all of a sudden?)
“Chief Kiefer!” I press into my communicator,
“Do you see any approaching ships?”
{“Negative,
The perimeter is secure”}
Churrrnn!
The ground vibrates a little
(The floor)
“Apollo, Himari below us!”
