Shoooosh~A giant white mecha can be seen leaving a long white streak from the ma.s.sive cross-shaped Guardians.h.i.+p.
The mecha"s body closely resembled a human body except for its six jet boosters that sprouted from his back. Two big bracers can be seen in both its hands while it dived down towards the ma.s.sive hole that leads to the land of Tunga.
Piloting the ma.s.sive Mech is the expert Arkhan warrior Arkhoz. His eyes glowed with utmost focus as he watched the expanding hole relayed through the crystal gla.s.s before him.
"We are about to enter the hole in ten seconds. Prepare for the encounter." Arkhoz calmly declared.
"yes!" Danna, Katri, and the golden beaked Eagle replied simultaneously.
The four of them are currently placed in a division inside a crystal sphere. This unbreakable crystal sphere is made by the Guardians and has been securely planted in the middle of the Mecha"s chest.
The sole controller of the entire mech is the team"s captain, Arkhoz; while the rest are there for a different purpose later on. The location of the ma.s.sive hole is in the middle of Northpole, far from the civilization and human reach, thus there was not a single Shadow present.
"Now remember, not a single word when we get inside." reminded Arkhoz. It was an instruction that was learned from the recorded journey of Kaora.
"Understood."
"Yes."
"Yeah..."
The three swiftly replied.
Just when they were about to reach the ma.s.sive hole entrance, Arkhoz immediately activated the mech"s stealth ability, instantly hiding their presence from the naked eyes. At the same time, the whole team suddenly plunged to an eerie silence.
Whiiiish~
The mech is equipped with anti-gravity function, the moment they went in, the jet boosters that were furiously spewing white steam at the back quickly retracted. Slowly, the ma.s.sive robot"s figure blended in the dark.
"Heuk!~" the scared fairy almost burst into a shout. Her eyes are currently watching the countless holes scattered throughout the walls of the vast hole. Although they are currently invisible, on their side, everything looked like it was a day thanks to the Guardian"s advance design.
The crystal window that covered them allowed them to see everything outside as if it was a day. Unfortunately for the little fairy, she would rather not see what she is witnessing at the moment.
The holes on the frozen wall were about twenty meters in diameter while carefully hiding from inside, everyone could see a worm-like creature that looked like a white snake that is seemingly prepared to ambush them.
Their eyes glowed like a yellow bulb while a sound-sensitive thorn can be seen at the top of their heads.
It seems like the previous disturbance of the shattered ice covering has made these creatures aware of the existence of the intruders and made them hide to these holes.
"Wheew.. huek?!." sighed the little fairy before she noticed the eagle and Arkhoz"s hostile gaze and quickly bowed to say sorry. The faint sound she made have just made everyone wary. She was also thankful that the crystal sphere was soundproof.
Fortunately, the memories from the last adventure of Kaora has warned them about these creatures. It was also the reason why the Guardians, who designed this advance mech, have made plenty of preparations just for these days.
Thanks to the mech"s stealth ability and silence, they were able to avoid the attacks of the wall snakes and safely moved deeper.
Time flows by and it has been five hours since they entered the hole. The longer they traveled, they could not help but feel sleepy from the cold and breezy silence. However, what made them stay on alert are the bigger holes and creatures inside the deeper they go.
They were really fortunate that they have come prepared.
Another hour later, the mech have finally traveled about 10000 meters below the earth"s frozen surface when the ice wall suddenly started shaking. The holographic data that was moving before Arkhoz warned them of a certain energy fluctuation coming from below.
The sound of the vibration was increasing with each pa.s.sing seconds as if an unknown train is coming from below!
Everyone"s gaze quickly followed the source of the sound and immediately got confused.
"That...."
"Ice...cap?"
QUIAAA!~
What they saw was a rus.h.i.+ng mountain of white ice that seems to be coming from below. It"s the sheer speed and compactness obviously meant that they would be pushed back to the outside or worst, the mech would crumble upon impact.
It was like a geyser of solid ice!
Arkhoz quickly calculated the situation and judged that the mech will crumble upon impact.
"Stay silent. We can"t afford to go back."
"What should we do?~"
"Shall we go back?~"
QUIAAA!~
The incoming geyser of ice was coming at a tremendous force and speed, Arkhoz did not bother answering their questions as he maneuvered the mech to hide into one of the holes in the wall where the white giant worms are staying.
Upon seeing Arkhoz"s action, the eagle quickly panicked, "Wait! What are you doing in this pl"
"Silence or we are gonna die!" Arkhoz shouted to the shaking brown bird.
The little fairy on the side was just barely maintaining her sanity while blocking her mouth with her own hands.
SHOOOOOOOOOOSHHHH!~
The mech had just found the safest hole in the wall and swiftly went in. Two seconds later, the geyser of ice rushed from their back at a terrifying speed. Only then when they realized that it was not a geyser of ice but the mother worm trying to close the broken entrance.
Compared to the sizes of the hiding worm in the wall holes this worm is about fifty times their normal size. It also appears that the worm is responsible for creating this entrance and covering it with ice from the outside.
The white mother worm has a bluish metallic sheen on its skin while thousands of rapidly moving fork-like arms allowed it to travel through the tight s.p.a.ce. Everyone was taken in surprise by the sudden existence of these creatures considering that it was not included in Kaora"s memory.
Everyone watched the rus.h.i.+ng body of the mother worm with wariness.
SHOOOOOOOOOOOSH~
After about ten minutes, the entire body of the mother worm has finally pa.s.sed by.
"I did the math if that giant worm"s destination is the surface, then we have exactly fifteen minutes and five seconds before it comes down and reaches this spot. Let"s go and take this chance to advance deeper while we can." Arkhoz told them as he controlled the mech to move out of the hole.
"Can"t we just wait here until that giant worm comes down before we start moving?" asked the little fairy.
"We can"t. We must stick to the schedule or we will not make it on the time of the full lunar eclipse." Arkhoz replied as the mech released a silent lazer flash that scanned the area below.
"Think about it. Don"t you think going down now is suicide? That beast"s speed is about ten times faster that we this giant robot moves!" the brown eagle added, in support of the fairy"s suggestion.
"If you wan"t I can just drop you here." Arkhoz replied frankly.
"..." the fairy fell into silence. The thought of being left behind in this abyss of ice sends a s.h.i.+ver down her tiny spine.
Danna, as calm as ever, tried to mediate, "Uhm.. can everyone please calm down-"
"Aren"t you being too c.o.c.ky? Just because you get to control this robot, you think you can boast me around?" scoffed the brown eagle.
"Follow me or get out. It"s that simple..." Arkhoz gave the brown eagle with a condescending gaze.
"Uhm.. guys..."
"You think I am afraid? Huh? Who do you think I am? Do I look like just another bird to you?"
"Aren"t you?!"
"I am Unos! The Golden Pride of the Wind Elemental Realm! The Unstoppable wind! The Master of Sound Breaking Wings! The Breeze of Destruction! The Air of Ki-"
"Get out!"
"Make me! I heard you got your a.s.s whipped by the Alpha, why should I follow a loser like you?"
"You asked for it!"
"GUYS!"
Little did they know, as the commotion inside the crystal sphere continued, the faint noise that came from the crystal sphere did not escape the super sensitive horn of the white worm staying inside the hole.
GWAAAA!~KWOWOWOOWOWOWWOOONG!!!!~
The commotion inside the crystal sphere immediately fell into silence as their volume was overtaken by the weird cry of the white worm behind them.
KWOWOWOWOWOOOO~
Everyone"s gaze immediately locked to the shredder like the mouth of the white worm. Apparantly, its spinning mouth was made of thousands of diamond teeth and was coming to grind them into pieces! At the tail of the white worm are like ma.s.sive hooks that seems to lock them in place, now that it was loosened, they sprang to their prey like a white flash.
Arkhoz, swiftly took control of the mecha, barely dodging the sudden charge of the worm, and proceeded below.
CRAAAAs.h.!.+~
The powerful cras.h.i.+ng sound of the white worm caused a loud noise that immediately garnered the unintended attention of the giant wall worms.
And like squizzed worms, the silent and s.p.a.cious hole was immediately swarmed by hundreds of white worms, their actions are guided by the sound of the last impact.
Like hungry beasts, these ma.s.sive worms did not choose between their own kind, as long as it made a sound, they will eat it using their grinding mouth. As a result, it created a chain of worm ma.s.sacre having an unexpected feast of their own kind.
At the same time, Arkhoz skillfully maneuvered the mech, dodging all the incoming worms while trying its best to escape.
KWOWOWOWOWOWOOOO~
Unfortunately, the loud sound of the commotion attracted the mother worm and is now approaching below. It"s kilometer-sized mouth spun at a terrifying rate which effortlessly sucked all of those white worms that came out of their holes.
SLUURP! GZGZGZZG!~
SLUUUURP! GZGZGZGZG!~
The reason they remained hidden and locked by the hook-like tails inside was to avoid the powerful suction ability of the mother worm.
And right now, it seems that the mother worm is about to taste a new flavor aside from her usual diet.
"Sh*t!"
Arkhoz, finally activated the turbo boosters and frantically moved away from the mother worm.
