"Maybe I shouldn't have come here" Thought Amaya. "I can't do this alone..."

Amaya was standing before the great teleporter. The one that would transport her to Vol Opt. She felt uneasy but knew that this had to be done. She was alone; her sister Rouge shouldn't be dragged into this. Why should she? It was Amaya who had been too greedy. She wanted to make a great advance in science and technology. Insted, she had made a monster.

"No!" Amaya shouted to herself. The sound of her voice calmed her a little. She hated the silence of the mines. "I must do this to save Reikin and Aceara!"

Reikin, a HUcast and Aceara, a RAcaseal were her creations too. She was a great engineer, but went a little too far. Reikin and Aceara, she knew, were in the moniter room. She had to do this. She got into the teleporter and pressed the button, as she tried not to think what might happen, what might lie ahead.

When she appeared in the moniter room, the first thing she noticed was that someone had already been here. All the moniters were smashed, and there he was, on the floor. His left leg was bleeding badly. Amaya could see he was injured and needed help. But then there were Reikin and Aceara. Her faithful friends. She realised that the young hunter on the floor would probably know where Reikin and Aceara were. It was worth a try.

"Wake up" Whispered Amaya. No answer. "Are you consious?" She asked, more loudly this time. Amaya could see his chest moving weakly up and down. He was definately alive, but she had to get him to a hospital. She dragged him into the teleporter.

They found themselves in an underground cavern, with a large door at one end. There were three voice recordings. She turned one on.

She listened to Rico's voice on all of them.

"The pillars are the key." said Rico's voice.

"Pillars? I remember seeing a pillar as I came here..." Amaya said to herself. "I touched it and it illuminated the mines... I can only start to imagine the power of these things."

The other two recordings described IT. Pioneer 1 couldn't defeat IT. What was IT? What hope did she have? But she had to save Reikin and Aceara. And the man..."

The man coughed, and opened his eyes. "Who are you?"

"I'm Amaya."

"Amaya, you must leave here!"

"Not without my friends" The man paused.

"Ok, but know this; Ragol is a dangerous place. I'll gladly come with you"

"Thank you... who are you?"

"My name... is Tsunak..." he said, and then, suddenly, he lost consiousness again...
