Chapter 5: The Fortress

"Oh, you gotta be kidding me." I muttered as we come upon the wall of the fortress, which was really tall. "It's the only way in." Nate said and I let out an annoyed sigh but nod as we head towards the wall. "Well, age before beauty." I said to Nate as I gesture towards the ledges. Nate gives a sarcastic laugh as I smile at him. "Hey, you're the one that brags about being older than me." I said as he shakes his head and grabs onto the nearest ledge and begins to climb around the wall, I follow soon after.

We scale across the wall of the fortress by either using the ledges or some vines that we find hanging off the greenery, surrounding the building. "Eyes ahead, don't look down..." Nate tells me and, being my dumb self, I look down slightly then look back up. "Oh, God..." I muttered in a whisper but I take a breath and traverse onwards.
It takes us alitte bit but, eventually, we get close to a window and Nate grabs onto vine, that was hanging over the window, and steady's himself over the window. "Ah - gonna have to bust through that window." He said and he readies himself, while I held onto a nearby ledge, and he pushes himself back then swings down and crashes into the window. 

I jump and grab onto the windowsill then climb through the window. "All right." I muttered and we make our way down the hall and out to an old courtyard, when we were confronted by more mercenaries. Nate and I pull out our guns and were able to take them out, pretty easily. 

"Look! There's the tower!" I said to him and we make our way towards it. We make up the steps and around the collapsed tower, only to see an abandoned parachute. "No sign of her." I said as we look around. "That's either very good, or very bad." Nate mutters as we head up the stairs of the tower to see a zipline. 

I jump up and used my gun to zipline down to an abandoned room, Nate not far behind me. We land inside of it then looked out the window to see Elena filming the landscape on the other side of the fortress. "Elena!" We exclaimed. "What the hell's she doing?" I asked then we looked down and see a closed gate underneath the window she resided, until she ran off.

"Ha-low?" A static voice said through the radio in the table in front of us. Nate goes to the microphone and said. "Buka pintu." He cringes at this as a man's voice said. "Siapa ini? Bicara sekarang!"

"Ah, crap." Nate mutters then yells. "Sialan lo! Cepetan, buka pintu!"

"Ah, tai!" The man's voice said then the gates started to open and I smiled. "Hey, it worked!" I said as I nudge his shoulder but the celebration was short lived when we see more mercenaries running out.

"There they are! Up there!" 

"Get on the gun!"

"Oh boy..." Nate mutters while I just groan in annoyance. "Just what we need...." I muttered as we run over to the door, shoot the lock off of the door then run out into the battlefield. Nate shot at a few men while I shot at some explosive barrels that were near a group of these men. 

We make our way down the stairs then towards the opened gate, entering the inside of the fortress. We make our way inside to see that the place was partially flooded then into a blue room where the water was almost knee deep. "This place could use a good plumber." Nate joked as we jumped down into the room, only to be greeted by more men.

"Son of a bitch! Where'd they all come come from?" I asked, annoyed, as we get behind a couple of pilars and pull out our guns. "I don't know. Just keep shooting!" Nate yells at me and we fire at the men.

After killing them, I take some quick deep breathes then look over at my brother. "Alright...now let's go save your girlfriend." I teased as I head over to some fallen pilars. "She's not my girlfriend!" Nate said in an offended tone. "Uh-huh...keep telling yourself that." I said as I climb up on a pilar, jump up and pull myself up onto a board bridge that connected to the higher pillars and make my way to a gated door.

"She's not!" He said as he follows me. "Yeah...yeah, I believe you." I said with a
smile as I go over to crank and use the wheel to open the gate and the two of us go through the gate and into another room. We looked around and see a crank on one side of the wall and another crank on the other side. I also see that the stairway to another part of the fortress was really high. Too high for either of us to climb or boost each other.
"You take that one and I take this one." I said as I point to the left wall. He nods and goes to the right and I go to the left.

"Okay...ready?" Nate asked me as we get to our own wheels. I nod and he starts to count down. "One...two...three!" He said and we crank the wheel, which released a water fall on each side, making the water rise up. The water stopped and both of us jumped in the water and swim over to the platform with the stairs. I get up first then turn around and help Nate up.

"Alright, let's hope she's still alive." I said and we head up the stairs.
