Chapter 5 - Accidental Infiltration @ 5:34 PM

Yomi sat in his big chair in the middle of the dark room and he started questioning Alpha and Beta, after they had returned. "Why is there only one...?"

"My apologies," Alpha said. "The two Thief Masters had reinforcements, and we had to retreat."

"You could have defeated them anyway..." Yomi said, eyeing them suspiciously. "I expect you to finish this job before you rest. I want you to set off as soon as possible, and bring her here!"

"Yes sir!" Alpha and Beta said, and left the room.

At this point of time, Bakaeep got closer and closer to the building. She advanced carefully, just in case there are traps around. About 10 kilometres away, she had to stop to rest. She leaned against a tall tree and started catching her breath.

Suddenly, a few minutes later, a giant boulder infront of her started to shake. Bakaeep ducked behind a tree, and watched. The boulder slid to the side, revealing a passageway. Alpha and Beta then emerged. But of course, Bakaeep still didn't know who they are.

The two walked forward, and to avoid being seen, Bakaeep started walking around the tree. Suddenly, Alpha stopped and looked towards Bakaeep's direction. Bakaeep stood still, scared to move. She had stepped and a few branches and dead leaves, giving off some snapping and crushing sound.

Alpha walked towards the tree, going to investigate. Before he reached, Beta grabbed her on the shoulders. "Stop wasting time. We've got work to do..."

Alpha walked away, but she was still surveying the area carefully. Finally, she stopped and sped off into the distance with Beta. Bakaeep sat on the ground, giving off a sigh of relief. She then returned to the boulder, but was already back in its original location.

She pushed the boulder with all her might, but the boulder wouldn't budge. Countless efforts proved to be in vain. Finally, she tried moving it with her spells, but it still didn't work. After walking around for days, her spells just didn't have the power to crush or move the rock.

Bakaeep moved back, but tripped over something. She dug out some of the soil and noticed there were metal tracks for the boulder to slide on. In between the tracks was a red handle. She gave it a pull, and the boulder slid open.

She entered the passageway, and followed the winding hallway. There were many rooms on each side, but were mostly empty. Only some room had several boxes and crates. Finally, after walking for an hour, she reached a flight of stairs. "Up or down...?" she thought.

From the bottom, she heard a lot of sounds. Metal clanking, and some static. She ventured downwards. The hallway wasn't very long, and there was only three rooms at the end of the hallway.

She peeked into the left room and noticed it was a storeroom of weapons. She noticed someone at the back of the room. In the room on the right, there were machines and computers. Finally, she walked to the last room at the end of the hall. As she was about to turn the doorknob, she felt someone's hand on her shoulder.

"What are you doing here...?!"
