Part 2: The rise of Rainaka
Chapter III: Been to hell
Written by Wootz.. (In-game name);
--------------
After days of bombarding the entrance to the secret tunnel which led to the Old Fortune City, they finnaly made it. Only Rainaka and Wootz dared to enter the darkness within. There were only two infravision goggles at the supply center. There were ruins of both buildings from the surface world and the underground. There were cracks in the ground and the team had to jump over them. Some sections of the underground base were still collapsing on their heads, after a few hours of searching they found that the area is much bigger then the one they visit just a few weeks ago. There was an vault door in the wall. It was unlocked and they entered. There was a blueprint of the vault on the wall right next to the entrance. It was huge, its lenght was about two kilometers. Wootz took the blueprint and put it in his pocket. They opened another door, which was suprisingly powered by electricity. The room had a table, a chair and a few closets. There was a note on the table:
"Why father?! Why did you leave me here months ago. You don't know how demented it is to live next to cages full of experimental creatures! The only thing you ever given me was Wrath and a Cuirass. I was lucky to find one Super Grim Magnum for some extra defense! If you ever come back for me, I hope you will continue to search for these notes as I left many in the complex. If you abonden your search after minutes I swear that I shall doom you forever!"
"Well, that was interesting." Wootz said after reading the note.
"Indeed it was. I never knew Caden had a son." Rainaka replied.
"Its Caden's son!? How is that possible?! He would never leave a part of his power! Especially in his own legacy!"
"Somehow he did. Maybe he knew that he was going to die soon. Who knows. We should try to find his son."
"Let's hope he is still alive. After all, he had to watch his back around here. "
"Indeed. Let's go!"
They opened another door, there was a note on the wall naming the room. The room was called: "Failed experiments". There were cages of creatures, some alive, some dead, some were even opened. The creatures were fearsome. They were twisted in a lot of aspects. Some had an arm instead of a head, some had a few legs extra. Other had claws and weapons bounded to their wrists or fists. They killed every monster to end its suffering. Soon they entered another room, which was called: "Hells gate". It was a huge circled room, it had a few huge stone fragments which collapsed over time. The only guess Rainaka had is that it was a portal to hell or void. The room after was called: "Reactor chamber". It was supposed to have an nuclear reactor, but it has failed and made the whole area radioactive. Luckily their suits were radioactive-proof. There was some lava on the floor which was rising from the ground. It raised higher and higher until it hit the roof of the room. Then arms started forming in miniature fiery explosions. In just secounds a mutated human-like creature was recognized. It was red as lava, fire burst around him, he formed a sword from fire and started rushing towards Wootz. Rainaka threw his Frost Slayer in his body, which was perfectly aimed for the heart. As it hit the creature it started freezing it from within, the creature was frozen solid in secounds, Rainaka's Slayer lost its Frostbite power with it. So he had to stick with the lesser version of the sword, the FrostBane. Crafted almost 2 centuries ago by humans, the sword had amaizing freezing power, it has been the best weapon for years until the Legion designed the Frost Slayer to help their army beat the Exiles. Nowadays, there only remains a few of both swords.
They continued the search and entered another room with a table and a note saying:
"The room to the left was my room, do you remember when we made it father? I was so happy all those years ago when I thought of you as an role model. It was crushed by the earthquake, don't even bother entering it, you would not even find my first shiny credit. I moved to the water supply observatory. I remember when I was too scared to enter it. And now, 15 years later I find comfort in it. The tunnel to it was destroyed, by the way. So, you'll have to take the old fashion way. Through the open cages of Azrael. Yes, Azrael. You remember the beast you crafted. It still stands it ground. Good luck, father!"
"Well, I guess we will have to kill it! The blueprint says the "Path of Azrael" is the door to the right from this table." Wootz said.
Rainaka just silently opened the door. The room was extermly huge both it lenght and height. They could hear the snoring of Azrael. At the far end of the room, he was asleep right next to the door which should lead to the Water Supply Observatory. The creatures face was covered by its huge dark wings! They tried to sneak past it. But it has heard the sound of rust on their armor. Azrael took off into air. The room was extremly high to let Azrael fly. Rainaka and Wootz could see his face now. It had thousands of big horns on it, and some were missing, parts of his wings and claws were missing aswell. They assumed that thats hows Azrael's Bane, Curse and the staff Azrael was made. Azrael shoot a void ball at them, they managed to dodge the thing. However, the note which Caden's son wrote has fell out of Wootz's pocket. And the void ball hit it, the note then revealed a hidden text.
"It says that he is extremly weaker towards the weapons that were made out of him!" Wootz shouted while Rainaka kept Azrael busy
"Run! Go check the closets where you found the note!" Rainaka shouted, aswell, dodging many of Azraels fast attacks.
Wootz ran as fast as he could, he reached the room, and opened the first closet, there was nothing in it. Except a note: "Good luck, old man!". He opened all of the closets and they were empty, he though for a secound and opened the room in which Caden's son has lived. The room was crushed by rocks, there was an Azrael's Bane and Azrael's Curse elegantly laid on the rocks. Wootz took 'em and ran straight to Rainaka, Rainaka's wolf pelt missed a few parts, there were two sword broken on the floor, and Azrael was missing an eye and a wing. Rainaka jumped and shouted: "THROW!". Wootz threw the Bane at him, in the middle of the jump Rainaka caught the sword and sliced Azrael's head in half. The monster screamed of agony! Wootz and Rainaka started slicing and piercing every part of Azraels body. Until finnaly the beast went into eternal slumber.
"That was hard!" Rainaka said tiredly.
"Atleast we made it! The tunnel has to lead us to Cadens son!" Wootz said.
The went into the tunnel. It lead them into one little room. With a table, chair, a bed. And a person standing on the balcony. They could not still see him sharply, but he didn't notice them. Caden's Wrath and Cuirass were laying on the bed, next to the Super Grim Magnum. The silluette turned around and entered the room.
"Didn't expect to see someone else coming. Wheres my father?" The man said.
"He died." Wootz replied in cold voice.
"He never was a good father. Who are you, again?"
"My name is Wootz, and this here is Rainaka. Whats your name?"
"I am Trans. The son of Caden. I don't know your intentions. You can kill me or set me free, do whatever you like."
"We are inviting you to join the Exile forces." Rainaka replied instead of Wootz
"Under one condition...You don't tell no one about my origin. And I shall join." Trans said
"Then it is settled. Come with us, to the ground." Rainaka said happily
"We have a problem there. My eyes are very sensitive to light. I'll need to wear a mask for a few months to adjust to the light level."
"Easy enough! I got a helm of one of my ancestors." Wootz said, took the helm out of his backpack and gave it to Trans.
"The helm of the One Winged Angel. I appreciate it. Thank you!" Trans thanked.
After hours of finding the way out of the complex and the Old Fortune City they managed to get back to the ground. Trans's eyes hurted a bit from the son, but he was happy to see other faces except monsters. He was well accepted in the community, but people didn't know anything about him, and he wore the Cuirass and weapon of Caden, so they assumed there was a darker side of his being. Exiles lived normally in Fortune city for a few weeks, had a steady population and managed to feed their forces. Wootz, Rainaka and Trans formed an group of the very best soldiers who seen a lot of crazy and demented stuff in their life. They called it...Been to hell.
Weeks later, an riot broke out. Turns out that the commander of the Third Assault Division wanted a better, more wealthier place in the ranks. His division was the largest, it counter 340 man and 110 woman, which was two thirds of the Exile forces.
