Chapter 5: Knowing your Enemy<p>"Well this is it..." Butoden and his team are standing in front of the forest.<br>"What's the plan?" B@L asks.<br>"Zone and I will walk in front, you cover our rears B@L."<br>"Okay."<br>And so they step into the dark forest, not knowing what to expect to see there.<p>"It seems so quiet. Maybe there is noone here. Maybe we were wrong." Zone looks around and sees nothing but plants and trees.<br>"It is time..." Butoden says, B@L and Zone are confused.<br>"Draw your weapons, something is coming..." Butoden takes out his Delsaber's Buster. His Shield begins to power up.<br>"Where? Where!?" Zone looks around hastily while equiping her Bloody Art. B@L looks at the trees, it's not the wind that causes the leaves to move...<br>"Up there!" Butoden says, B@L aims and shoots some kind of Lizard out of the tree! It falls down in some bushes behind Zone. Zone quickly turns and holds her Bloody Art in front of her face, ducking a little. Butoden runs past her and holds his Delsaber's Buster low, making an upward slash at the lizard in the bushes, the Lizard runs towards Zone and B@L.<br>"Here he comes..."<br>The Lizard jumps at Zone, Zone ducks and holds her Bloody Art up high, slicing the lizard's belly open, the Lizard dissapears as it lands on the floor.<br>"Nice move!" B@L says, lowering his JUSTY. Zone looks at the blood on the floor.<br>"It was not strong, it was very agile. We need to be quick to stop these things.." Butoden walks up to Zone and places his hand on her shoulder, "Are you okay? You seem a little... I dunno..."<br>"I'm fine! I just killed it see!?" Zone removes Butoden's hand from her shoulder. Butoden looks at B@L, who lifts his shoulders.<br>"Let's just keep moving..."<p>Somewhat later:<br>"Do you hear that? It comes from over there..." B@L points at some bushes. Butoden hears it too. It's some sort of buzzing... Zone walks over to the bushes.<br>"Be careful, it might be a trap!" Butoden says. Zone nods and carefully walks forward, looking at the large trees in front of her. She sees a trap.<br>"It is a trap! I can see one floating around here..." B@L runs up to Zone, she aims his rifle at the trap. B@L pulls the trigger and an explosion follows.<br>"Okay, area clear.." Zone releases the rifle and slowly walks forward, taking the lead. Butoden looks back.<br>"Who and why would they place traps here..."<br> They can hear the buzzing sound getting louder and louder with each step they take. Zone hacks some bushes in front of her to get a clear view. It's an enormous factory!<br>"What the hell..." Butoden looks over her shoulder.<br>"What is this? A powerplant?"<br>"Maybe... But why didn't the Principal told us about this?" B@L asks while leaning on his Justy.<br>"They probably wanted to keep this a secret..."<br>"No. They probably wanted us to find this. They never wanted us to use this device! They wanted us to investigate this factory!" Butoden runs down the hill and finds a door to his left. He opens it as Zone and B@L run down the hill as well.<br>"Boy, is he in a good mood!" Zone says.<br>"He's always angry when people lie to him... He'll cool off, eventually..." B@L holds the door open for Zone. They find Butoden in a dark room walking over to the switch. He turns on the light. Zone notices they're in a small office. There's paperwork and sketches all over the floor and on the tables, there's a trail of blood, leading to a closed door. Butoden investigates the blood.<br>"This is human blood..."<br>"Shi-..." B@L walks over to the closed door and looks trough the window. It's too dark to see anything. Zone looks at some of the documents on the floor, it seems to be information about various plants and lifeforms found on Ragol.<br>"This must be some kind of lab, look," Zone hands over the documents to Butoden. He reads them trough.<br>"Hmmm..." he says, he hands the papers over to B@L.<br>"What is it?" B@L asks. Butoden points at the papers, B@L starts to read it as well.<br>"Look at that part!" Zone points out a paragraph which is about lizards. B@L reads it trough.<br>"So these lizards live on blood? That makes them vampires..." B@L says.<br>"And when they drink blood, they grow larger and stronger..." Zone says. She gathers some more papers from the floor when a large crash can be heard from outside.<br>"...What's that?" B@L says, aiming his Justy at the entrance.<br>"Maybe it's one of those Lizards!" Zone says.<br>"Maybe it's a really big one!" B@L replies.<br>"Maybe we should go out and see..." Butoden takes out his Delsaber Buster, his shield powers up again. The team runs over to the door and wait. Zone takes out her Bloody Art.<br>"I'll go in first, Zone, you open the door!" Butoden says. Zone reaches for the doorknob...<p>--End of Chapter 5--<p> %) Well Im sorry for keeping everyone waiting, although Im sure everyone needs to read trough the other chapters to remember what was going on in my story again! :p
