ARMAGEDDON OF THE LUCIFER - Рыбаченко Олег Павлович

   Gorillopodobny shestiruky haligara squeezed into an entrance. The strappers armed with the most powerful luchemeta. Star monsters in armored suits with signs of municipal native police were densely splodgy with the multi-color, bubbling blood.

   Hermes did not manage to leave far. A floor was too slippery, and it crashed down polutoratsentnerovy hulk. Here, in a narrow corridor, there was no slightest chance to evade from killing beams. Dzhover turned pale and raised hands. It looked quite properly. However haligar had a look the most ruthless and disgustingly aggressive.

   Only Lev did not give in to panic. One detail interested him. In hands "gorillas" had powerful fighting gravio-laser machines of heavy army caliber. And meanwhile, soldiers of municipal police were given on arms paralyzers or gamma guns and that is extremely rare, the blaster of average caliber of the lowered power. Carrying gravio-laser luchemet of the class "Byrd" and other heavy army arms was forbidden on pain of painful death. Haligaram, as trusted the subdued race only weaker weapon though they were the most mass auxiliary force of the empire. Therefore, their form was counterfeit. And it were either space gangsters, or spies.

   Hermes moved back along a corridor, shaking with fear.

   - To stand, arthropods reptiles, otherwise you are threatened by elimination!

   The commander's voice unexpectedly was thin and squeaky. It encouraged Lev. The young man, trying to give to a voice obsequious tone.

   - My owner faints now. I have to bring it into myself!

   Having picked up Dzhover for a waist, Eraskander imperceptibly got because of a belt a plazmometatel. And, without turning the head, shot at ominous silhouettes of opponents. It seemed to Shestiruky "gorillas" that the looking boy amusing savage only supports the mister, and giggled. With an inhuman force Lev could throw the owner in the narrow crack almost imperceptible in dim light of a corridor. He managed to do it synchronously, along with a shot.

   Plazmometatel was loaded with the tiny annihilation rocket, and though they managed to take cover in a crack, the fiery plasma hurricane got also shooting. As Lev jumped a bit later and was absolutely naked, he suffered much stronger. The flame singed a face, shoulders, considerable part of skin, having partially injured hair. The brightest flash blinded also those who conducted furious dismantling on the platform of a kosmoport. Killed some, brought down someone a shock wave. At many organs of vision just failed. Firing ceased.

   From strong blow Hermes fainted. The lion, on the contrary, landed as a cat. Civilians of Purple constellation were forbidden to carry the used infernal arms. It could use only official armed forces, and that with a number of restrictions. Could arrest for carrying such weapon. Eraskander terribly got into a fuss, he understood that he overstepped all bounds the law. Here it will become insufferably close from patrols of Purple constellation soon. The despair prompted an exit, having shouldered the owner (that his one billion centuries was cooked in hyper plasma), the young man jerked along a twisting corridor which was narrowed, extended. It ran about 60-70 meters. To disappear, it needed to find the elevator. It was extremely hard to run with such hulk for burned with all-devouring substance. The lion was dripping with sweat which corroded already painful burns, legs shivered. It kept only by ultraboundary effort of will. Already almost fainting, Eraskander ran up to an open door of the elevator, the lisopodobny little man just left it. He stood aside, with an indifferent look having passed fugitives in a cabin. Probably, the similar show was habitual.

   The lion began to press the obscure inscriptions put on buttons feverishly. On a wall of a mobile cabin into which the tormented boy got the monitor screen sparkled, and it was possible to choose any direction in a boundless lift labyrinth. In memory one of ancient jokes flashed. Criminals got into the elevator and disappeared in the unknown direction.

   But in this case it is not a hokhma, but reality of technologies of the worlds with history in many millions of years any more. On this elevator it was possible to pass tens, and even hundreds of miles in depths of soil of this unusual planet. On underground labyrinths passed between the cities and even continents. The majority of them were constructed long before occupation of a stelzanama. To the most ancient courses there was not one million years. From the black lock the whole underground network proceeded. The planet since ancient times was famous as a shelter for star bandits of all colors and races. This planet was a nest for villains where all laws were conditional. In this underground world with thousands of thousands of hare tracks of the courses confused more miraculously there was one of the largest in this part of the Universe a den of space mafia. Korolor's planet is more ancient than Earth much more sizes. It cooled down much more deeply, than Earth. Many sectors and the courses are not even marked on cards of intelligence agencies of the empire.

   The elevator strongly accelerated. Lev too often switched parameters to confusions. Soon they got to unfamiliar sector. This zone seemed empty and ominous. But whether it is possible to reproach with it the wounded guy? The elevator constantly went zigzags to the parties, moving across, down, on diagonal, confusing all directions. It is necessary to stop, otherwise it is possible to stop by in an underworld. Only how to stop this box? Perhaps to press the red button? The elevator not from an old rarity, and at stelzan too of scarlet color blood, and is worse from it will definitely not be.

   Lev Eraskander having appeased a shiver in the fingers covered with blisters, quickly pressed the red button...

   Chapter 13

   As could happen that progress

   Gave to Earth other direction,

   And cave and stone regress

   Struck people of Earth during one moment?

   The answer to it is very simple!

   Silly it is not difficult to gather,

   The savage did not grow to revolt -

   It is simpler to operate fools!
