Chapter 2 - The Strategy

by Rey Aura

‘Sound of Rapid firing'

The door opened and the guard outside of the room pulled Erik with his hand towards the gate.

“Stay down boy, also after you get out of the door, take the second door, It will lead to the forest from back.”

With a terrifying look on Erik's face, he asked the soldier in shaking voice.

“What about you?”

“Don't worry boy, we will regroup and head your way.”

He had a fearless smile with no regrets.

“Now run boy.”

Erik ran as fast as he can towards the door, But as he opens the door, he saw soldiers in different coloured uniforms.

“Damn, we are surrounded.”

He closes the door fast and looks toward the soldier who was guarding his room.

“Sir, We are surrounded, Is there another way out?”

The Soldier runs towards Erik as he sees a grenade coming from window.

“Get down boy.”

‘Thud'

He jumps towards Erik and they both hit the ground.

“You ok, Boy.”

“Yea, I am fine.”

Erik says in a timid voice.

“Good, hold this pistol, protect yourself and follow me.”

“Where will we go?”

The soldier then gets near the wall and looks outside the window.

“There are about 12 in this direction.”

Suddenly a voice from outside comes,

‘Unknown speaker'

“Get out here, and no one will be killed.”

With a great sigh, the soldier says to Erik.

“We will use the underground tunnel we mad to get out of here, But it is on other side of this base.”

“By the way boy, my name is Alec and I promise in my life that I will protect you at any cost.”

Hearing that Erik also gathered a little confidence and says.

“Names Erik, sir and lets get out of here.”

“Lets crawl to the next room, boy.”

Suddenly the door opens near them from which Erik earlier tried to run.

‘Boom'

A Soldier in Black uniform enters. Alec shoots his rifle. As they were in his blind spot.

The bullet hits near his shoulder. The soldier jumps back.

“Lets make a run boy.”

They both runs towards the other room, where they found Julia and three other soldiers. They were all crouching near the door.

As they enter a gun was pointed at me.

Alec Shouted

“Don't SHOOT!!!”

“Oh, its just Alec and the civilian, Get In.”

“Oye, its no time for jokes.”

As Alec and Julia were the highest Ranking officers, they started to formulate a plan.

“Julia, Our only option is to get to the underground tunnel in room 4.”

“I know but for that we have to cross that open bridge, we will be fully exposed there.”

With that Erik Interrupt them.

“I have an Idea.”

Erik says that while pointing towards the ventilation shaft.

“Can I have the plans of this place.”

“Sure, if we got them.”

Alec said with a disappointing voice. Erik looked at Julia.

“Don't look at me, Captain keeps all the maps and he is gone for the mission.”

“What a bummer, but still work out something here, boy any other ideas.”

“Ok, But we can still use the shaft to hide ourselves, Let us get inside and take each room and communicate through that shine thing on your ears."

Erik points out to the ears, suddenly two other soldiers in black starts to force their way in.

“You two, shoot them, rest get inside quickly.”

Julia gave orders in systematic way to avoid confusion.

“And boy these are communication crystals they work with magic, anyway lets go.”

The soldiers throw a grenade at the black soldier and made a dash inside the shaft. Looking at that Erik formulate a plan, as they all get inside, they all get vanished and the soldiers in black starts to find them in the facility.

“Alec, Julia listen-"

“What is it boy, its already cramped here, got any complaints even if its your idea.”

“I have a plan to at least slow enemy movement while we get out of this place.”

Julia looks at him with concern and says.

“Don’t beat yourself up Erik, You are already wounded and You have to go through this even it is our duty to protect you.”

“Fallen in love, huh... Julia.”

Alec looks at him with pointy eyes, Julia face turns a little red as she kicks Alec face.

“Mind your own business Alec.”

Erik also gets flushed a little but still continues to say

“Really I got a plan listen to me, Please.”

“Ok, everyone lets listen to what he has to say, boy it better be good.”

Erik takes a deep breath and starts to explain.

“There are vents in every room right, we will separate ourselves to different rooms and will use a grenade to immobilize as many as we can also if you use them opposite of the bridge we can gather them there, while we use this ventilation system to get to the last room and then we can move to the next building, also we can use smoke to cover our track by throwing them here and there while moving through the shafts.”

“That is a good Idea boy but if the soldiers guarding the bridge doesn’t move, there will be five at least, even we can neutralize three of them with guns, we cannot get to other side before others here the shots and come for us.”

Erik says with a smile.

“Don't worry we are not going through the bridge.”

Alec, Julia and others gets surprised.
