>>5727185The one positive thing you can take away from being chased by bloodthirsty monsters, you realize, is that even though you’re running for dear life right now, you don’t really feel winded at all!
Your optimism is put on hold, however, when one of your pursuers pounces at you–an action you were only able to pick up on because it let loose with another stupid <span class="mu-i">shriek</span> before doing it! Dumb animal!
Couldn’t have picked a stupider time to do it, either! Reaching the last corner before the break in the fence, you dart to the side just in time to avoid the monster as it sails past you! It quickly recovers, though, and before you can take a breather it and its pal are back on your ass again!
“<span class="mu-s">YOU GOT THIS, DUDE!</span>” Shouts Raj from behind the fence as even Rodney watches with concern in his shade-covered eyes! Spotting the hole that they entered from, you channel the few years you played Little League Baseball and slide for home base!
A small hole in the fence is a little bit different, though, and your <span class="mu-s">TRENDY TRACKSUIT</span> gets caught on the edge! Struggling to wiggle through, you’re just about to become a midnight snack when you feel both of your pals grab hold of your shoes and <span class="mu-s">YANK</span> you through to safety!
Before you can thank them, however, you and Raj turn to face your pursuers with your <span class="mu-s">FIRE AX</span> and <span class="mu-s">FLAMETHROWER</span> drawn!
… but the <span class="mu-s">NOTWOLVES</span> refuse to follow. Keeping your weapons trained on the canine-esque carnivores, your confusion only builds as they both spare one last cowed glance towards the <span class="mu-s">MINE ENTRANCE</span> before skulking back into the woods!
“Guess we scared ‘em off, bud!” Announces Raj as he gives you a good-natured nudge! “Nice run, by the way!”
“As expected of my <span class="mu-s">RIVAL!</span>!” Laughs Rodney as he wipes a few wayward beads of sweat off of his brow! “You owe me for that save at the end, though!”
Yea, you’ll make a mental note, you groan as you slowly catch your breath! For better or worse you’re in the <span class="mu-s">MINE</span> now… the only question is:
Where to next?
>TO THE MINE ENTRANCE! THERE SHOULD BE AN ELEVATOR LEADING DOWN!>CHECK OUT THAT TRAILER NEAR THE CRACK IN THE MOUNTAIN… COULD HAVE SOME GEAR!>THERE’S A BIGGER TRAILER THAN THE OTHERS–COULD THAT BE THE MINE OFFICE?>HOLD UP, IS THAT A BULLDOZER?>LET’S LEAVE, ACTUALLY… THE WAY THOSE MONSTERS REACTED RUBBED YOU THE WRONG WAY!>WRITE-IN!
