Chapter 34: The Path to Extus
District 12 village
A massive crowd stood solemnly as several uniformed men carries a casket across, holding up the body of President Coin.
Katniss stood next to both Jennifer and Godzilla, watching just as the men settles her onto a large wooden platform.
The crowd immediately raises up their hand, two fingers pointing up into the sky as one of the men drops a lighted torch onto the wood.
Almost immediately, the wood lights up in flames and everyone stood solemnly as President Coin's body was immediately cremated.
Heileen turns to look at Jennifer and she apologizes to her.
" I'm really sorry for your leader Katniss."
" Don't be. She was a strong and true leader. Deep down...."
Katniss smiles as she concludes her sentence.
" This is what she truly wanted to see. Her people free and happy."
Heileen then turns her head back, watching just as the fire ambers dances into the night.
Later
Solomon stood in front of the group and he said.
" Look guys, thank you so much for yer help. If it wasn't for you, all would have been lost."
" No problem."
Godzilla said to him.
However, Solomon added.
" There is another problem though."
" Oh? What's that?"
" After the funeral, our scientists were investigating the case of our tainted waters and we found a rather shocking amount of heroine in the water."
" What?! Heroine?! Why didn't they hook me up to those back at the school?"
Gorosaurus exclaims out.
Shocked, Heileen asks Gorosaurus.
" Wait, you have been doing drugs?"
Gorosaurus nods.
" Hell yeah. You should try sone mariwana. Those are the real shit."
Solomon continues.
" Anyways, we were able to trace out the source and it turns out to be brought at a maximum security prison."
" Prison?"
Godzilla questions.
Solomon nods.
" Aye. So our only way to reverse the effects is to find a Heart Temple located in the hearts of Extus."
" So where can we find the world of Extus?"
Jennifer questions.
Solomon points a finger at her and he replied.
" I'm glad you asked. In fact, I know how to get there."
Solomon then pulls out a map and he explains further.
" The world of Extus is a long strange and upright confusing world. It's full of wonders and sometimes horror. But you won't be alone for I will be traveling with you into the unknown."
Godzilla said.
" Well, that's great. We could certainly use a guide."
Solomon hands out several pieces of papers towards the group and he said.
" Here. Take these."
" What are these for?"
" Maps. Extus is a large world where the end won't be easy to find. So we will be splitting into two groups. Godzilla will be with me. Dino Zoidberg here will go with blondie and Jenny."
" Dino Zoidberg?"
" Let's move out. If we got to reverse the effects of the drugs, we must go now."
With that, the group went out there seperate ways.
The journey into Extus has officially begun.
Temple
Solomon stood outside of a temple, staring at it as he said to Godzilla.
" So what do you think? You go to the pyramid while I go to the temple?"
" Eh why not? Judging by all the people I met who knows, I might get to meet Indiana Jones there."
Godzilla began heading towards the desert, leaving Solomon alone at the temple.
" Alright. Here goes."
Solomon spreads out his wings and he swoops into the temple.
Soon
Solomon walks along the dark hallways of the temple, admiring it's infrastructure.
" You know. This place isn't so bad after all."
It wasn't long before Solomon spotted something in front of him.
Blocking his path is a large pillar of light, seemingly blocking the exit of the temple.
Resting in front of the light is a small platform with a pair of instructions carved on it.
Solomon looks at the words and he read out.
" Find the gem. Hm. Easy enough."
Solomon spun around and he walks back through the hallway, beginning his hunt for the gem.
Just as he was walking, out of nowhere, a large hail of monsters flew from the left side of the temple, heading right towards Solomon.
" Enemies in this temple. Why am I not surprised?"
Solomon sighs to himself.
Just as the monsters closes in, Solomon swings his claws across, slashing through the hordes of monsters easily.
Solomon swerves his head to the side, dodging a bite from a monster before throwing an uppercut.
The creature was sent flying upwards, crashing right into the ceiling.
As it topples onto the floor, Solomon steps over the fallen creature and he walks deeper into the temple.
Soon, Solomon found himself at a massive array of gaps sepearated by small platforms in between.
Large flying creatures flew up and down through the air, seemingly to stop Solomon from passing.
Solomon leaps up into the air, flapping his wings and he soars across the platform.
The demon carefully timed his flight before flying further ahead, dodging the creatures before landing feet first onto the platform.
Upon landing on the platform, Solomon found himself staring at a large winged creature floating in midair at the corner of the temple.
But what caught Solomon's eyes the most is the red shining ruby lodged within the creature's head.
Solomon puts out a hand abd he demanded.
" Alright buddy. Hand that over or else things are gonna get real ugly."
The creature didn't respond.
Instead it soars up into the air, it's eyes glows before launching a thin stream of laser across.
Solomon swerves his body to the side, dodging the attack as he sighs to himself.
" Man, when do they ever learn?"
Solomon lunges forward, swinging his claws against the creature's hide.
MOOOOOAAARRR!!!
The creature roars out in agony as blood spills from it's wound.
Solomon jumps up and he throws a kick, striking the creature hard in the face.
Just as the creature staggers back, it looks up and it flies back.
" Hey! Where ya goin' pal?"
Solomon shouts.
The creature stares down at Solomon, it's eyes glowing just as it unleashes a thin laser right towards him.
Solomon quickly raises up his wings, blocking just as the projectile strikes him right in the wing.
The creature swoops forward, flying towards Solomon.
Just as it closes in, all of a sudden, Solomon jumps up into the air, leaping over the creature.
Before the creature could react, Solomon opened up his wings and he opens his jaws.
Right at that moment, a blazing red fire spews from Solomon's mouth, striking right into the creature.
MOOOARRRR!!!
The creature roars out as it's entire body ignites in flames, burning up.
Solomon watches in silence as a red ruby falls onto the floor just as the last remains of the creature incinerates into ashes.
" Heh. Too easy."
Solomon chuckles as he bends down to pick up the ruby.
The demon then turns around, walking through the entire hallway.
Soon, Solomon reaches back to the laser where he rests the ruby onto the platform.
Almost immediately, the laser powers down, revealing a door behind it.
" Sweet!"
Solomon cheers out with joy as he jumps over the platform, heading towards the exit.
Just as Solomon pulls open the door, he said to himself.
" You know me, Still the Best since 1973."
