Chapter 2

"All righty then!" Green said. "Let's-a get this show on the road!"

"Do we really have to go? I'm sick of that place!" Orange complained as Blue agreed.

"Don't worry! We're going to continue searching for the Dark Moon pieces!" Green excitedly said.

"But that's booooring!" Orange complained.

"We kinda have no choice though. If we don't do this quickly, we'll never get the ghosts back to their normal state!" Pink said.

"Exactly!" Green exclaimed. "So, like I said, LET'S-A GO ALREADY!" Blue gave a disapproving noise.

Ignoring Orange's and Blue's remarks, Green cued E. Gadd to start up the Pixelator. In an instant, they were all teleported away, E. Gadd once again laughing at Blue's negative reaction.

They were all teleported to an old clock making factory that has long since been abandoned, and is now being inhabited be many different kinds of ghosts.

Each of them were pixelated one at a time each one falling on top of one another. They all scrambled to get up, and stared at the mysterious building.

"Well, here it is! The Old Clockworks!" Green stated, very excited.

"Oh, yay, CAN WE LEAVE ALREADY!? I I'D RATHER SIT AT HOME AND DO NOTHING THAN DO THIS BORING STUFF!" Orange complained as Blue nodded (for different reasons, of course.)

"Come on, guys," Green said. Everyone then had no choice to follow him.

They walked over to a strange spot with a small stick poking out of it. Suddenly, E. Gadd's theme started to play.

"Ugh, where is it?" Green said as he searched for something.

"A ha!" he said as he pulled out his DS called the Dual Scream. "Hello?"

"Green! Do you still have that compass?" the professor asked.

"Yep! Still have it!" Green said as he pulled out the large compass.

"Put on that stick poking out of the ground, okay?"

"Okey-dokey!"

"Alrighty then, good luck!"

"Ciao!"

He put the Dual Scream away as he said, "Pink, put the compass in the slot!"

"Wait, why can't you do it yourself?" Orange interrogated as Pink willingly took the compass.

"Just shut it will ya?" Green scolded.

Pink placed the compass on the stick and backed away.

"It then started to spin on its own, startling all of them, especially Blue. It stopped all of a sudden, and nothing seemed to be happening.

"Well, that was all a waste of ti- WAH!" Orange started to comment as a set of secret doors started to move. When they stopped, Green ushered the them in, taking the lead. They very slowly started to move through the underground cave system, when Pink, very upset, shouted, "Look! There's a fork in the road! Which way do we go now?"

"I know!" Orange started. "Let's turn back and forget about this!"

"Orange, will you just shut up already?" Green annoyingly asked.

"Geez, can't a guy get out of this these days?" Orange sarcastically asked.

"Hey Blue, what is it?" Pink asked as Blue was staring at a wall.

"Hm?" Green asked as he walked over to the wall. "AHA!"

There was a crack in the rocky wall, and Green tried to push on it. Nothing.

"Come on guys! Help me out!"

All three of them came over, and started to push.

"Maybe we should do it at the same time," Green declared. "All of you push on the count of three, okay?"

"Okay!" the threesome said.

"Alright, ready? One… two… THREE!"

They all charged straight for the wall, and in no time, it started to barely budge.

"Keep it up, guys!" Green shouted as they all continuously kept on pushing. Slowly, bit by bit, the "wall" started to move forward like a door. In a few minutes, the secret door was completely moved, leading to a long, narrow, pitch black passageway.

"Follow me!" Green said as they all took out their flashlights. Slowly, one by one, they walked down the hallway. Five minutes later, they were still walking.

"Ugh! Come on guys! Can we rest? My feet are KILLING me!" Orange complained.

"There's no way to sit here, though!" Pink pointed out. "The hallway's too narrow! We have to keep going!"

"Oooohhhh…" Orange moaned.

"Besides, I see light up ahead!" said Green.

"That's probably just your flashlight," Orange commented.

"No, I really see light up ahead!"

"Me too!" Pink said in happiness. All of a sudden, he shrunk in fear. "Wh-what was that?"

"That was just my stomach growling." Orange said.

"Oh, Orange!" Pink said, very annoyed.

"Hey, guys! Blue left without us! Come on!" Green said as he started off for the clearing that Blue was at.

"How in the world did he get past Leader?" Pink questioned.

"Because I was too busy listening to you guys and your stupid little remarks! Now follow me!" Green replied. Orange and Pink shrugged as they took off to catch up to Green.

In no time, they reached a huge stony cave, which ended in a dead end.

"So this WAS a waste of time after all!" Orange failingly tried to prove.

"Orange, look at the wall…" Pink said in awe. They all stared up to find that the wall was covered in strange markings.

"Whoa…"

"They must be hieroglyphics!" Green said.

"No, it must be an ancient language!" Orange said back.

"No, they're hieroglyphics!"

"Language!"

"HIEROGLYPHICS!"

"LANGUAGE!"

As they were arguing, Pink noticed Blue standing close to the wall.

"Isn't this amazing?" Pink said. Blue paid absolutely no attention.

"LANGUAGE!"

"HIEROGLYPHICS!"

"LANGUAAAAAAAGE!"

"HEIROGLIPHIIIIIIICS!"

"LANGU-"

"GUYS!" Pink shouted in a panic.

"What is it?!" Green asked worried about why Pink was speaking in such a tone.

"Something's wrong with Blue!"

"WHAT?" Green asked as he and Orange ran over.

They looked to see that Blue had an empty look on his face as he was mouthing something.

He seemed to be in a trance…
