chapter 6: Close, but no cigar

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! The light on Acid’s transmitter lit up. He picked it up. “Yes?”
“I’m sorry, but we couldn’t make it. Omicron met us up there, and injured two of us. We couldn’t just leave them there, so we need a few of you to continue the attack.” Came Jack’s voice at the other end.
“…Okay…” said Acid. He switched off the transmitter. “Okay guys, we need some of us to get up there and continue the attack. Jack Flash said two of them had gotten injured, so they couldn’t continue the attack. Who should go this time?”
None of them moved.
“Okay, then I guess I’ll pick some myself. I’ll go, since my shoulder’s healed, and I’ll take Wizard, Blaze, and… Hmmm…” Acid considered. Headcheese was the only one left, besides FireFox, who had gotten hit, and Emmi, who was trying to heal him. “Headcheese can be a small diversion. She can run out, run around, and then get back under the rock before Terminator hits her.”
Headcheese nodded very enthusiastically, then shot out from under the rock.
“Here’s our chance!”
The three of them who were attacking ran out, and jumped onto the ship. They ran over to the lift shaft (Acid pausing to kick Omicron off the side of the ship) and got in. When they reached the cockpit, they hesitated.
“They probably know we’re here.”
“Yes, I do!” came a voice from the other side of the door.
The door opened. Terminator was there, flanked by Black Jack and a few guards.
Acid, Blaze and Wizard of Odds jumped out and began shooting. They took out a few guards, but they were cornered.
“Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide…” chuckled Terminator. “Now I can finally get rid of you and complete… Darn, Black Jack, what did I call it again?”
“The flux field.”
“Ah, yes, thank you.”
Acid took the opportunity to shoot the dash. The ship flew out of control, and began diving towards the surface.
Terminator, Blaze, Wizard of Odds, Black Jack, and Acid squeezed into the lift shaft, forgetting all about how they were supposed to kill each other for the moment. When they reached the top, they ran out, and jumped off the ship. When they had gotten off the ship, they suddenly realized they had had the perfect opportunity to get rid of each other in the lift, but had forgotten because they were so frantic to get out, and fell over anime style.
“Argh, I’ll get you for this!” yelled Terminator, launching himself at the group. Acid met him head on, and they both launched into a fight. Blaze and Wizard of Odds backed off- they knew when to give other people space. Suddenly the two fighters broke apart.
“You remember thirty years ago… before Jazz defeated Devan... You were a fighter then, not a petty inventor. Let’s see if you’ve still got the skill.” Terminator said. He pressed a button on something, and suddenly he and Acid disappeared.

They reappeared in a large room that was filled with lava. They seemed to be in a temple. There were platforms coming out of the lava. There were also platforms floating in midair that had a few cracks in them.
“You remember this? Asked Terminator. “You created it! And now, as the creator, let’s see if you know how to fight in it!”

There! That's probably by far the shortest chapter I've written besides the intor. How do you like it?
