It can’t end <span class="mu-i">here</span>, you think as you plummet towards what you assume is certain doom, there are two many girls that probably wanna <span class="mu-i">get</span> with you! Dying would be an international <span class="mu-i">travesty</span>--they’d be heartbroken!
And you’d be dead. That’s a big red flag too.
Still swinging your arms like a very confused boxer, your spastic movements finally pay off when your wrist brushes against the side of the rope! Wrapping your knees and arms around your lifeline, pain shoots through all of them as you rapidly decelerate and get one hell of a rope burn! Your thighs are gonna be <span class="mu-i">SORE</span> tomorrow!
Gritting your teeth to fight through the pain, you stop about halfway down from where you fell from! Still dangling too high to make out any shapes below you, you ready your <span class="mu-s">MEAT CLEAVER</span> and prepare to give the monster some payback!
Your opportunity never arrives, however. Well, it <span class="mu-i">does</span>, but only for a second. A hollow <span class="mu-s">’THUNK</span>’ rings out across the ventilation shaft before your attacker falls past you, screaming all the way down! Watching it descend into the pitch black below, you keep your cleaver ready and wait–you know how bugs are… they can fall for miles and still be fi-
Your thoughts are cut short by the sound of a gut-wrenching ‘<span class="mu-s">SPLUTCH</span>’ far below you! Okay, guess they got the human trait for that one…
“<span class="mu-s">DIESEEEEEELLL!!!!!</span>”
You barely have time to catch your breath before your pal comes sliding down the rope like a mad firefighter down a pole! Crashing into you from above, the two of you half-slide, half-tumble down the rest of the length of rope and crash into a heap onto a grille similar to the one above!
“Ho… holy <span class="mu-i">CRAP</span>, man…” Pants Raj as he immediately gets up to check on you, “I… I thought he got ya, dude! I thought… I thought that was it!”
Not <span class="mu-i">yet</span>, you groan as you wave him away and rise to your feet, but you appreciate him helping out!
“Yea!” The skater laughs as he gives his <span class="mu-s">FIRE AX</span> a cocky twirl, “I <span class="mu-i">axed</span> him to stop! Hahah!”
Maybe you should’ve died… in any case, you’re pretty sure you’re on <span class="mu-s">LEVEL 4</span> now if the huge grille you’re standing on is any indicator! Just like the one on <span class="mu-s">LEVEL 3</span>, this vent shaft seems to connect to the rest of the mine, but <span class="mu-i">un</span>like <span class="mu-s">LEVEL 3</span> the grille is…
Well, let’s just say you got <span class="mu-i">really</span> lucky.
“Couple more feet that way and we’d be headed down to <span class="mu-s">LEVEL 5</span>, huh?” Remarks Raj as he points out where the rest of the protective metal grille should be! In its place, however, is nothing–you just happened to land on the one piece that’s still attached!
Let’s uh, you stammer, let’s get onto solid ground, okay?
“Thought you’d never ask, dude…”
>CONTD.
