CHAPTER42

(Temple ruins. Dane and Mingcheng were knocked out by the Ruin guard. Drake was the only left. He positions himself ready to fight.)

DRAKE

Looks like I’m the only one left to fight this mechanical monster.

RUIN GUARD

Destroy!

(The Ruin guard pins its arms around. Its sword also swinging in the process.)

DRAKE

I have to get away before it gets to me.

(He gets away from the Ruin guard planning his next strategy. The Ruin guard follows him.)

DRAKE

It’s following me huh. I didn’t expect that would happen. I need to think of a way.

(The Ruin guard swings it sword at him. Drake blocks it but the pressure is heavy for him.)

DRAKE

Ugh!

(The Ruin guard then shoots a beam at him. Drake dodges it by leaping in the air.)

DRAKE

That was a close one.

(The ruin guard swings his hand at him.)

DRAKE

I won’t be able to dodge that one midair!

(The hand smacks him. Drake feels like his ribs are broken.)

DRAKE

Guah!

(He spits out blood as he groans in pain.)
