The Plan, Part 1
Aleck, Sheer and Jerin continued
moving through the suburban area, trying not to be seen by any Villains. Aleck,
taking the lead, Sheer next, and Jerin in the back, silenced rifle by his
side.
Hopefully they weren’t being watched
by Villains right now, smirking because of the trio’s cluelessness.
Hopefully they weren’t going to be ambushed. That would ruin
the entire plan!
It is vital that no one else knows
about the Plan. It must all be done underground, so to speak.
The Villains will never know. Or so they desperately hoped.
The three continued moving, as stealth-fully as they could,
all having each other’s backs. Their trust for each other had increased greatly
after their discussion in the house in which they had hidden before they began
their venture.
They must keep moving. They had to return to Aleck’s hidden
hatch to discuss the Plan even further.
They continued.
They all three heard a noise. They quickly moved behind a
broken corner of a wall, which used part of a building. It provided just enough
cover for all of them. Sheer nearly stumbled on the rubble that they stepped
over to get behind the wall, but she corrected herself quickly enough that she
wasn’t seen.
A group of 5 City Guards were on
their rounds at the moment. This will be useful to know where these Guards will
be at this certain time. Oran took note of that.
They mustn’t be seen, though. They would be killed if they
were found. The Guards would easily overpower them if they were seen.
A few moments later, the Guards were out of sight. They
didn’t seem to notice the three that were hiding.
So, the three moved on, remaining cautious.
A while later, after repeatedly moving and stopping and
hiding to avoid detection, the three made it to Aleck’s secret hatch.
As they approached the building the hatch was in, Jerin
noticed that is was damaged, with scorch marks on the outside. Probably from
explosions from when the Villains attacked after the Hero Factory was
destroyed. The inside looked completely trashed. Ransacked.
Jerin wondered where the hatch door was. Then, as Aleck
walked up to a wall, and moved a large piece of debris, the door was visible.
Aleck then unlocked it. He let Sheer in first and then Jerin. He then stepped
down into the angled hatch door, went down a few steps, and closed the door.
Locked it.
Inside the hatch, it was dark, besides a few small lights
throughout the underground room. Since it was dark, Sheer and Jerin remained
standing a few feet from the bottom of the stair way down to the room.
Aleck descended the last few steps, stepped to his right,
flipped a switch, and four florescent lights flickered on, revealing all of the
things in the underground room. And like Sheer originally thought, once the
lights were turned on, Jerin was surprised that the underground room was so
large.
Jerin was the first to speak.
“This is a pretty nice place you got here,” he said, looking
around the room.
Sheer sat in one of the few chairs in the room, resting from
the constant movement from their little journey, as she thought of it.
Jerin then looked at the shelf that held supplies.
“Will we have enough supplies to survive on for a few days?’
Jerin then asked.
Aleck took a quick glance at the shelf that held supplies and
suddenly realized that he and Sheer hadn’t retrieved any new supplies for
survival, meaning that they would run out of supplies very soon. Within a day
or so, perhaps.
“Oh no! Sheer and I forgot to collect supplies while we were
out,” Aleck said.
He then came up with an Idea.
“Hey, Jerin, if you
don’t mind, will you come with me to find some more supplies? It would be very
helpful if you come with me, since you have that rifle.”
Jerin then responded, “I suppose so.”
“Alright, good. Thank you. I’ll keep my Flame Blade and arm
armor with me. I’ll also bring a few bags so we can transport the supplies more
easily.”
He then added, “Sheer, I guess you’ll have to stay down here.
I won’t cover up the hatch door, so you will be able to get out if necessary.
Is that okay with you?”
“Sure, I guess.” Sheer replied.
“Okay, good. Well, we’d better go, Jerin. I know of a place
to find some supplies.”
They then started to leave.
