| He thinks for a second. "I don't know. It's possible they may emit a more intense signal when they near each other. In any case, we need to get on the move, before more Aliens come through wherever they did."
He leads the team through the passageway, and they walk for quite some time until they come to a vast, empty room with an arcane-looking gate made of stone in the center. The interior of the circular gate is swirling with a black vortex, through which can be seen caves encrusted with Alien secretion. Apparently wherever this gate leads is infested with Aliens. Peering at a control spire beside the gate, J'kar noticed that there were nine stone buttons, each engraved with a different symbol representing one of the elements imbued within the weapons they were searching for. The only one missing was the one for Stone. Snapping his fingers, J'kar laughed triumphantly. "This gate...it leads to the different Realms that house the elemental weapons! The Stone button is missing because this realm houses the weapon of Stone. If I am correct, there will be a gate on each realm, and we can pass from realm to realm and search for the weapon in each one. Excellent!" He reached out and pressed the button labeled Fire, and the vortex shifted to display a barren lava wasteland. He looked at the others with anticipation, and gave them an expectant look. "Are you guys ready?" |
