[i]He saw that the tower was very close to the mountain side, that of which a flat cliff face, faced the wooden tower. The distance was two feet, though it seemed moist from the dew of the morning.[/i]

-
[i]He decided to activate his rocket boots and take to the sky, and reached the top of the tower. He then scanned the Apex for an entrance. [/i]
-
[i]However as he entered the crows nest, the wood underneath him immediately *creaked!* and the wood seemed to almost turn into sand, making the old wooden floor boards collapse from underneath him and send him spiralling down the three story tower.[/i]
-
[i]His boots kept him stabilized as he fell. He kept turning them off and on until he approached the ground.[/i]
-
[i]It only took him a moment before his feet found purchase on the dusty ground,the floor boards being tougher here but also overgrown with plantlife. Where was this hatch the old man talked about?[/i]
-
[i]He flipped on his scanner and looked around the floor, his visor would allow him to spot hidden doors and walls. A handy modification he added just after the defeat of Tywin.[/i]
-
However he soon found that he didn’t need it, as he saw a series of green plants and vines flopped down into a deeper section of the floor. It was a small drop, but Zane saw the five by five hatch door leaned up against the side of the wall... It looked like someone had torn it off. Any who, the vines seemed to drop down into the deeper section, likely to where the sewmaker would be.
-
[i]His .44 and gunblade formed in his hand as he dropped down the hole, his radar scanning the room for another intruder. He found it odd that the hatch was ripped off, so he figured that someone else had come for the machine. [/i]
-
[i]He would drop for ten feet, before landing softly on some more overgrowth that had reached down the hole. As his visor highlighted the area, he had seen that he dropped into a dark, thin hallway. There were old torches lining the walls, however the one that would have been to Zane’s right was gone, leaving only a small metal circle where it would’ve been.[/i]
-
[i]He let out a heavy sigh, it seemed this would not be a quick trip[/i] "Of course this can't be easy, why would it be...All I wanted was a damn pair of magic pants..."
-
The hallway continued on for a few dozen feet, getting darker as Zane walked on and the sunlight faded.
-
"Can't see shit, great..." [i]Zane activated his night vision which allowed him to see. [/i]
-
His visor highlighted the hallway, allowing him to see through the dark. Ten feet in front of him was a door, and it was slightly opened. Through the tiny crack Zane’s visor lit up the faintest amount of light.
-
[i]Zane moved up to the door and opened it quietly, his .44 was raised as he scanned the room.[/i]
-
As he did, he picked up a light source. In the centre of this dome shaped room, 20ft in diameter and 10 feet hight, was a lit brazier. It burned brightly, which gave a soft glow to the natural darkness. Then, Zane saw the bodies. They were scattered around, Limp as posts. There were five of them, all hooded men. Zane noticed that each of them wore a different pair of pants as well, each one more exuberant then the last.
-
[i]Zane checked his radar, and seeing nothing on the radar he entered the room. He slowly walked over to one of the body's, removing the hood.[/i]
-
He looked down on an older looking face. There were lanky hairs sprawled down the side of the man’s face and he looked almost skeletal as if he had been starved. However as Zane observed further...he saw that the figure was breathing. He wasn’t dead. And as he investigated further he saw that none of the five men were. They were all unconscious...
-
[i]He lowered the settings on his gauntlet and placed it in the man's chest.[/i] "Let's see if this wakes you up." [i]He turned on his taser, delivering a small shock to the man.[/i]
-
The shock made the man’s body recoil violently for a second, and his eyes shot open. With a look of confusion the man looked at Zane, then quickly to his right, where a six shooter lay. Without hesitating he lunged for the revolver.
-
[i]He cocked the hammer back on his .44 and fired a shot at the man's weapon.[/i] "Don't be irrational now, I ain't here to kill you."
-
The blast of the .44 bent and dented the revolver and made it flip and fly away. The man looked back at Zane, a feral look in his weak old eyes. He suddenly lunged towards Zane’s throat with his bare hands, salving spewing from the side of his mouth as he let out a guttural yell.
-
[i]Zane sidesteped the man's lunge and shoved him away, sighing heavily[/i] "Boy, calm the hell down. Try thinking for once!"
-
The man had gotten to his feet, but stumbled around towards the brazier. He stopped himself on the side of the hot metal and Zane heard the sizzling of his skin, but the man didn’t even seem to notice it as he turned back towards Zane, running towards him with his hands outstretched, full with the intent to kill.
-
"God damn it...." [i]His gunblade formed in his hands as the man charged at him. The man then ran straight I to it, the blade piercing his skull.[/i]
-
The man went limp on Zane’s blade as his face split in two, becoming Unrecognizable as its became a waterfall of red crimson which poured down Zane’s blade and right hand. There was a spurt of blood at the back of the figures neck at that moment as well.
-
[i]He let out a sigh of disgust as he flicked his blade out the man's skull, the body falling to the ground as he wiped the blood off his blade.[/i] "Idiot...."
