As we sit waiting for the drill to reach the center of the Earth, I hear faint rustling behind me. I signal to the rest of the team to come over.
"Do you hear that?", I ask quietly.
"Yeah, it just sounds like wind going through some bushs. It's probably nothing," Syl responds. "We are all on edge because of the battle we may have to fight soon. I'm glad you are taking your role as guard serious, but take it easy."
"How about you rest for a bit?", Secret adds on.
I let out a big sigh. "You guys are probably right. Sorry to bother you I haven't had much sleep and-"
I was cut off by a evil laugh. Suddenly, a group of mercenaries surround us. They must have been hiding around the ruins!
"Well, well, well." The lead mercenary begins. "It looks like I finally found you guys. And what is this? It seems they are trying to reach the center of the planet. Let's stop them, shall we?"
All the mercenaries began to unsheathe their weapons- I saw bows, swords, wands, everything. We were terribly outnumbered; there were more than 30 men and women ready to fight. Not to mention what he said next chilled all of us to the bone.
"Before we take you out, how about I tell you a secret? All your efforts have been in vain- we have a new weapon, one so powerful we can easily wipe out any major city and easily take over this world. And nobody will be able to stop us!"
As we sat sitting there with a look of horror on our face, the leader signals his men to begin the fight.
