Chapter 32

A/N: Last chapter remaining in my drafts... Looks like if I want to update next time, I have to really pick up that writing pen which hasn't been moved for like one and a half year.

"Geri, don't," Xavi halted just when Gerard intended to hand over the golden container, "We can't surrender to him so easily."

"How do you know about the Wise? Where are you from and who sent you here?" Andres questioned the mysterious man boldly.

"Why am I answering you?" He replied with a snicker, "Just hand me the container, or else you are not going anywhere except hell."

"Oh my, he's really going to have us killed!" Cesc exclaimed, "We'd better run!"

"Where else we could run to? He's now killing us," In fact, Xavi growled, drawing Frenzy out of his scabbard, "We got our weapons. We have nothing to fear!"

The mysterious man seemed to have flinched a little. However, he remained his ambition, "Your so-called weapons are useless to my massive defensive wall, idiots."

"We don't believe in you," Xavi grunted, swinging his sword towards the shadow, "Prepare for attack! Força Barça!"

His sword hit the transparent defensive wall and was repelled by an unknown force.

"I told you, shrimp," the dark shadow smirked, swaying his sword glimmering in silver. A sinister, familiar face shone under the glow from Christine's eyes, "Now it is my turn."

"Cesc is right, which is rare, that we should run," Gerard trembled, tapping on Xavi's shoulder like running out of patience, "Head towards the exit!"

"No, there's a metal door blocking our entrance," Andres let out a hopeless mourn, "There's no way we can get out!"

"Guys, look up there!" Christine's eyes scanned over a wire netting on the ceiling, from where a ladder extend.

"Climb up that ladder and open that net then," Xavi led the way up the ladder, "The wire netting is locked by a three-digit alphabet password!"

"Puta, that mysterious shadow is coming!" Andres spat from below, "We got no time to figure that key out."

KEY... a word flashed through Xavi's mind. It couldn't be the same password with the one in his weapon quest. Nevertheless it was worth a try.

With the help of Christine's light, Xavi gave himself a chance before the lock was pulled down with little effort.

"Come on!" Xavi pushed up the wire netting and entered the vent, disregarding his confusion.

"This is impossible! How do you manage to know the password?" Cesc was awed, "You must've set that lock thing up."

"Weapon quest, well, I'll explain it to you later," Xavi closed the wire netting gate right after three of his teammates and the Claudonese had entered the vent, "The wiring net won't hold the mysterious shadow long. Move quickly while he's coming up to get us."

"I'm running out of ideas, man," Sergio pondered around the small room, "How can we get through that wall to rescue them? It's only one thin rock."

PANG!

"Did you just step on something?" Iker frowned with his arms akimbo.

Sergio removed the soil on where he was standing. A drainage cover was seen below his feet.
