Beaten, battered, torn and bruised, Revan was all of these things yet moved from the laboratory into the dark recesses of the dungeon of failed experiments. Revan hated having left Ash and Celestia behind but it was doubtful the people here had families elsewhere that missed them.
“Why have you returned?” Asked a voice from the first cell he moved up to.
“I’m here to release you all but I’m going to need all of you to cooperate.” He moved towards an old wall where a rusted lever was aimed toward the ground.
Turning the rusted lever slowly as to avoid risk of breaking it caused sounds from components unseen as the prison cells rose to the ceiling pulled by old chains. Revan watched as the incarcerated that could shambled out of their cells, avoiding the need to stare at some of the more gruesome results of some tests Revan made sure that his hope that they had enough muscle were true.
“Assist me in carrying the ones who cannot walk and let’s get to the exit.” Revan himself found a bearded man with one leg that he balanced on his shoulder.
“We must hurry.” He said leading a charge of frightened and wounded citizens.
To Revan’s regret they did not get far before the skittering metallic legs were heard coming down the stone corridor. In the dark it was difficult to see but upon the sound of screams of the people around him he moved the man on his shoulder to someone else and charged forward raising his blade. Rushing and pushing the crowd out of the way he made his way to the front where he was immediately pounced upon by a mechanical spider as large as his head, the landed on his chest and two jagged blades made to slightly resemble fangs were propelled into his chest causing him to cry out in pain.
One of the escaped prisoners kicked the spider as hard as he could and sent the spider flying back into a black moving encroaching swarm. Revan was never one to waste time as he shot a fire ball into the crowd revealing just how many they truly had. Revan got up quickly and prepared his sword for battle.
“You must find another way up, do whatever you need to do.” Revan remained as the escaped prisoners shuffled off to find another escape passage.
Revan watched as the spiders vast numbers swarmed towards him, he hated fighting such small foes with his sword and so switched out for his bow and started firing into the crowd. A spider was pierced to the ground with an arrow and was immediately disabled while another target survived attempting to use its legs to tug the arrow up enough that it could remain mobile.
“We have found another passageway!” The voice of one of the faster prisoners had called out to him from in the darkness.
Revan was in full retreat as his pulse raced as he moved as fast as he could towards the much preferred exit.
Sure enough a secret passageway had been found hidden behind an old rusted metal door that had seemingly been sealed shut at some earlier time.
“Go,” He shouted as he lowered his head to crouch into the small passageway.
The castle was shaking as the repercussions of the battle below took its toll on the remainder of the stone structured integrity, Revan had little time to wait if he wanted to escape a premature burial. He needed to go back tl find the others but right now he needed to take it steady. Revan watched as the prisoner had looked at him with sympathy before accepting his command.
The lone prisoner rushed through the tunnel into the pitch black void as he slowed unable to keep up from the poison and damage his body had taken. Revan noticed the spiders strangely had not made it into the tunnel but he had in fact left a trail of blood and bloody fingerprints behind. Fearing for what would happen if he couldn’t escape his mind began panicking once again though he soon noticed bloody handprints up ahead that were not his own, with no sign of the prisoners nearby he stopped a moment to catch his breath.
His breathing was deep as he realised little air was getting into the small cramped escape tunnel.
Revan rested for a few long moments as a tapping sound like perhaps someone crawling in the tunnel with him was heard.
“Celestia, Ash is that you?” He called out into the darkness though receiving no reply.
Though a slight struggle he raised his sword once more preparing himself to run further into the tunnel. The noises became clearly mechanical but sounded larger than the spiders had. Revan braced himself for tight quarters fighting as the sound finally came to a stop in the shadows in front of him.
Revan terrified stared into the darkness for any sign of moving but there was none, he took a step forward before letting out his long breath and gripping his sword tighter. A large black clawed hand burst out of the darkness and wrapped itself around his sword tugging him towards the darkness. Revan let out a burst of fire which along with causing the mechanical abomination to let go allowed Revan a glimpse of what he was up against.
A large golden machine on three tri pod legs and four clawed hands stood before him ready to rip him apart,
The man body of the machine was merely glass holding inside a human skeleton which was missing its legs.
Revan pulled his sword back instinctively slamming it into the glass hoping the glass would shatter but it seemed to anger the machination sending Revan once more into a retreat as the terrifying undead filled machine charged after him through the cramped metal tunnel.
Revan fought off the creatures claws as it forced him further through the tunnel until he fell backward out the other end of the tunnel onto stone floor once more. The machine wrappped its claws on the edges of the metal opening and began crawling out. Revan was grabbed and pulled up by a couple of the prisoners who to Revan’s relief had avoided the creature now chasing him.
“I know you’re tough and all but now might be a good time to let it go.” Said one of the men hoping to convince the hooded warrior to retreat.
Revan hated to retreat but in this case he considered it necessary, however he was not about to leave his allies behind either. Quickly placing his arms on the men’s shoulders he chose his expression to talk for him as he sent them off before charging down the hallway looking for some means to get back to help the other liberators escape the castle. He hoped Ash and Celestia were moving fast enough as he felt more shockwaves coming from below. With the floor continuing to cave in it was clear more exits from the basement were opening up and he hoped his friends would pop up as soon as possible.
