The Devil's Legs Upside
Plan
I was shocked, getting up from the chair. Then I ran to Abeba's computer in the nautical section. Immediately I turned on the underwater imaging system, which Abeba had taught me this afternoon. After fiddling a little finally underwater imaging can light up and display the image on the main screen of the monitor room. My eyes are wide! I was presented with a view of a large rock. No, the large building was broken through the Drill Bridge. Why didn't I realize it this morning.GOSH!!! SO THIS IS THE CAUSE!!! MR. FUCKING TEIGL!!
CRYIIIIYING
Mr.Teigl's room phone rang! I was a little clumsy, I was still shocked at what I saw in the underwater imaging, but the phone kept ringing. Finally I ran into Mr. Teigl's room and nodded the phone.
“Hello?”
“DIMA!”
“LIM! OH MY GOD!” (LIM! OH GOD!) I screamed happily.
“Thank god! You’re save .. Don’t do this again please, I’m fucking married!” (Thank God! You survived. Don't do this again please, I'm really worried)
“I know .. I’m sorry... where is Julia?” (I know... Sorry... Where's Julia?)
“She is save, we still at Generator-Compressor” (She is safe, we are still at Generator-Compressor)
My eyes closed gratefully, I was glad that they were both safe, and did not go anywhere as I expected. Looks like Lim called me from the Generator-Compressor Platform phone.
“Look! The situation is dire!” (Listen! The situation is getting worse!)
“I know! Took me so long to reach Generator-Compressor room control just to call you, Dima. because there are a lot of Pretni!” (I know! It took me a long time to reach the Generator-Compressor control room to call you, Dima, because there's so much Pretni!).
“HUH!! A-a Lot?! You guys are ok?” (HUH!! B-much?! You guys aren't papa?) My body was horrified, it seemed like what I had expected was really happening.
“We are ok, but you won’t! Look Dima .. I can see that you closed the Well-head gate, but now that gate are surrounded by a lot of Pretni!” (We're okay, but you're not! Dima hear.. I can see you closed the Well-head gate, but now it's surrounded by a lot of Pretni!).
“****!”
“There are a lot of Pretni coming altogether to you! You’re dead trapped!” (There are so many Pretni storming at you! You are really trapped!)
I gulped, if the situation is like this, I mean I can't get out of here. According to Lim, the gate that I closed earlier was currently surrounded by a lot of Pretni, they seemed to be about to enter here as well.
“Just what happen? Why are they aiming at you?” (What's really going on? Why are they after you?) Ask Lim.
“*N*o! They are aiming at the Drill .. ah, nevermind .. look Lim, you two should look for help. Call mainland police, you have to escape!” (Not! They're after the drill .. ah, forget it. Listen Lim, you two should call for help. Call the cops on the main island, you gotta get out of here!)
“No! Not without you! Listen to me .. we’re gonna save you!” (No! Not without you! Listen to me. We'll save you!) Ketus Lim's.
“Yes I know, but not right now! You need to call police, we need a lot of force and weapon to kill this thing! Oh Lim ... you don’t know what I just saw at bridge .. that displacing demon! We are no match for them, even with your Kung-fu .
(Yes I know, but not now! You have to call the police, we need a lot of people and weapons to kill this thing! Oh Lim .. If only you knew what I saw on the bridge .. Disgusting devil! We can't beat them, even with your Kung-fu.”.
“Dima ... I already call the mainland police, and they won’t come until two or three days.” (Dima, and they won't come at least two more three days)
“HAH? WTF!”
“They lack of boat to come here, the only Speed-boat available, were used by previous policeman to come here yesterday, and they still not coming back! Seems like Mr.Teigl and the other police yesterday did’t make it to the main island ..”
(They lack ships to come here, the only Speed-boats that exist, used by the police before to come here, yesterday, and they still haven't come back! Looks like Mr.Teigl and the other cops didn't make it to the main island.).
“GOD DAMMIT! So that demon are sneaking into Mr.Teigl’s boat?!” (O LORD! So the demon sneaked into Mr.Teigl's ship?!)
“Pretty sure Mr.Teigl and the other police were already dead ..” (Possibly Mr.Teigl and the other police are dead ..)
I immediately sat down on the floor. Those creatures have killed countless people, more than I could have imagined. No, only the three of us are still alive.
“Lim .. Abeba is dead and my situation is hopeless.” (Five...Abeba is dead and my condition is not much different..) I sighed deeply.
“Would you stop that superhero-thing! We escape TOGETHER!” (Can you stop acting like a superhero! We'll go TOGETHER) Jerk Lim.
“B-but .. how? Just go back to mainland and save me later, I hope I can sustain here three days” (T-But ... how? Go to the main island first, then save me later. I wish I could stay here three days)
“*There is no guarantee that we come back here idiot.” (No one can guarantee we can come back here stupid ..)
“Then how I can escape from here?!” (Then how do I get out of here?!) My atonement. Really, I was desperate to think.
“Listen to me.. Julia is gonna turn off the whole Platform electricity” (Listen to me.. Julia will turn off the entire Electric Platform).
My heart was pounding hearing Lim's words.
“It will create complete darkness at there, Right? In the dark, you need to sneak out and come here .. but first you need to open the gate ..”. (That's gonna make it darker in there, right? In the darkness, you must sneak out and flee here.But you must open the gate first.).
“Ok ... I get it, I understand... I’ll try...” (Ok .. I understand .. I will try).
I think I understand Lim's plan. They both plan to shut off the entire power bridge, it will create darkness in Well-head's room. In the dark I have to sneak out, right. But I had to open the Well-head gate I had closed before Julia turned off the power. And the button is on…
BRUUUUUKK BRUUUUUK
Suddenly there was a loud clashing sound from the front of the monitor room, GAWAT! Holding the phone on my chest, I peeked out the window of Mr. Teigl's room.
BRUAAKK
SHIT! PRETNI IT'S COMING IN HERE! I immediately crouched behind Mr. Teigl's desk and held my breath deeply. How did they get here? I did not turn on the lamp. As soon as I saw my shadow on the floor due to the light of the monitor screen that I had just turned on to see underwater imaging. The light turned out to be quite bright, even the light reached the room Mr.Teigl, STUPID ME…
“DIMA! HOWW?” (DIMA! HOW'S IT?) Shouted Lim from the phone, his voice quite loud.
“SSSSSTTTT... There are here!!” (SSSSSTTT... They're here!!)
“Oh GOD ... Then how?” (Oh LORD ... Then what now?)
The button to open the gate is in the monitor room, which now has a pretni there. If Lim shuts down the power before I open the gate, then I won't be able to open the gate again, I'll be stuck here forever. I closed my eyes, trying to think…
“Five minutes! Give me five minutes! I’m going to open the gate ..” (Five minutes! Give me five minutes! I'll open that gate ..).
“But, how if you fa ..” (But, what if you ga ..)
“Just believe me .. Five minutes! I’m going to open the gate ... Just turn off the electricity in five minutes from now, whatever happens! Then, I’m trying to escape, wait me for an hour. If I’m not show up after one hour, then I failed open the gate or die either .. Just go to Living Platform dock with Julia! Forget about me..”
(Trust me .. Five minutes! I'll open the gate ... Just turn off the power of the Bridge after five minutes from now, no matter what! After that, I will try to escape, wait for me for about an hour. If I don't show up after an hour, then I either fail to open the gate or I'm dead .. If so go to the Living Platform dock with Julia! Forget me ..)
“God dammit, Dima! That’s reckless” (Oh my God, Dima! That's rash!)
“Believe in me Lim, I’m also believe in you .. It’s nice to know you two Lim, Julia .. say sorry to Julia for me if I can’ make it … she is the most beautiful person I ever know .. See you later.
(Believe me, Lim, I also believe in you guys .. It's nice to know you two, Lim, Julia. Apologize to Julia if I fail .. She's the prettiest woman I've ever known… See you ..)
“W-Wait Dima ..” (T-Wait Dima..)
CLICKS
As soon as I hung up on that phone, I couldn't linger chatting. I could hear Pretni start banging on the computer that I turned on earlier. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, relaxed my muscles. In the heart actually stung the words “If I get caught by them I can die... Oh Lord.. save me today, I want to go back to my family, I have to survive whatever happens.
Now I open my eyes and get ready .. Here we go …
