Chapter 35

  The tower falls into the ocean. “Good riddance.”, says Gallus. After the tower fell, it begins filling with water from it’s bottom. Meanwhile, Gregory, Kelsey, Mai and Saige are inside and have fallen over. They then begin hearing the gush of water around them.

  “What’s going on!?”, asks Kelsey. “I think we’ve fallen into the ocean.”, says Mai. “No! Damnit, how!?”, shouts Saige. “Must’ve been apart of Gallus’ plan after leading us with the recording.”, says Mai. “Hold on, I can punch us a way out.”, says Saige. “Careful, if you do, you could sink us faster.”, says Mai.

  Mai tries standing upright, then points up and explains, “Try to reach the top part there and punch our way out if you punch anywhere.” “I could probably jump that, but you guys can’t unless I carry you out.”, says Saige. Water then begins pouring into the room they’re in, from the staircase way. “Kay, hold on.” says Saige. Saige then jumps and tries punching the walling above them.

  “Oh I heard that one.”, says Gallus, from the outside. “Gallus!!”, says Saige. “So you remember my name, but not my brother’s. Oh how shameful!”, says Gallus. “Gallus! I’ll kill you with my own two hands once we get out of here!”, says Saige. Gallus then responds back, “Don’t make a promise you can’t keep. Now I wouldn’t waste my time punching out if I were you. That tower is made out of special demon turtle shelling. So if you want to come out, I don’t think that would be possible, unless you swam. Bwhahaha!”. “You bastard!”, says Saige. “I know I am.”, says Gallus.

  “Well, looks like we’ll have to swim out.”, says Mai. “Are you crazy!?”, says Saige. “...Guess I am, huh.”, says Mai. Saige just sits down on the floor and ponders their situation. “Listen, I’m sorry, alright.”, says Saige. Gregory then chimes in, “We’re getting real desperate here, so how about this, Saige you keep trying to punch the same spot to get us out.”. “Got it.”, says Saige as he readies his fist and aims for below himself. “But not below us, up top.”, says Mai. “Got it.”, says Saige as he jumps up and punches the walling above them.

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  Meanwhile, on the outside... “The tower has fallen, I repeat, the tower has fallen! And Saige and the rest are trapped inside!”, says the lead guard. The lead guard talks, but all the rest of the guards are busy fighting demons on top the turtle’s back. “I’ll try to rescue Saige.”, says the lead guard to himself. He then tries flying over, but gets caught by a tentacle and flies off his hoverbike and off on to the turtle’s back, then ends up in a fight with several demons.

  Back with Gregory, Kelsey, Mai and Saige, more water pours in. They’re now swimming at torso deep. “Now we really gotta get out of here somehow.”, says Mai. “I’m trying, but it’s hard to jump.”, says Saige. “Nevermind that, try striking the wall near us.”, says Mai. “Okay.”, says Saige, as he tries striking the wall near them. Water then fills in more, and they start lifting up. “How are we supposed to get out.”, says Mai. Saige tries striking the walling harder.

  Meanwhile, guards on the outside keep fighting demons, now using knives to do so. “I need someone to strike open the tower.”, the lead guard says. A guard on a hoverbike flies over and starts shooting the walling with his handgun. “Don’t give up in the effort!”, says the lead guard. “I’m trying!”, says the shooting guard.

  Meanwhile, on the inside, Gregory, Kelsey, Mai and Saige hear the gunfire as the water has filled up to their heads. “I think we’re not gonna make it. I can hardly swim up.”, says Mai. “No! Don’t give up.”, says Saige. Kelsey then starts sinking under the water, then Mai sinks under next, then Gregory. Saige struggles then falls under the water as well. The four are now under the water with their eyes closed as the tower sinks under the ocean. Saige’s eyes then open and become bloodshot. “I can’t give in! Not now!”, says Saige.

  Meanwhile, outside the tower... “Sir, the tower’s sunken down!”, says a guard. “Damnit.”, says the lead guard. Suddenly, the ocean bubbles and Saige comes out of the ocean with bat-like red wings, holding everyone and coughing. He then lands them on the turtle’s back, as they’re unconscious. The lead guard runs over. “You’re okay. A-And you have wings.”, says the lead guard. “Yeah. Please take care of them.”, says Saige.

  “What!? He can fly!? This is impossible. He grew wings. What are you!?”, says Gallus. “I’m the one who's gonna kick your ass!!”, shouts Saige.
