The sounds of fighting in the city was more distant now but they still weren't out of danger yet.
Zorrik's army was destroyed.
The cataclysm must have broken the pysch -hold he controlled the population with.
But it was only a skin irritation;as long as he had the Time Crystal in his possession he was virtually omnipotent.
The likely hood of defeating him seemed more and more a pipe dream.
If only they could find transport off the planet!
"The main entrance to the sewers are up ahead,"Strelky told them."It's not pleasant but it's a way to escape.I will meet you on the other side when you emerge."
"You're not coming with us?"
"My mount won't squeeze in there,"she said."I'm not leaving him behind."
The gate was rusty and easy to remove.
The stench of the ancient tunnel was horrific.
They would have to walk through filth for hours just to jump from the frying pan into the fire.
"It's pitch black in there,"Brail said."And it stinks like like shit."
"I'll give you a torch,"Strelky said."Don't drop it otherwise you'll be lost in the darkness."
"I wish you were coming with us,"Brail told her.
"Just follow the main tunnel and don't get distracted by the adjoining ones,else you'll get lost in there."
A sudden motion from behind them caught their attention.
It was a cyborg rounding a corner.
"Fuck!"
The silent alien fell into a crouch and took aim.
Bzzzzzzzzzt
His laser tore a hole through Strelky's stomach.You could see right through it.
She screamed and fired back.
The cyborgs head exploded and his corpse fell backwards quivering.
The woman fell to her knees and put her arms around Spritzer,her most cherished friend.
"Get going,"she said weakly."I will kill anymore who come this way."
Brail hugged her and cried like a baby until the Captain extricated her.
"Take this,"the Strelken told her,handing the girl a palm laser."Save the last bullet for yourself."
The last they saw of her she was snuggling her face in the lizards kneck,her friend to the last.
