Fran looks over and gestures over to the sounds coming from behind them, Itward nods. They sneak behind some rock spires, without making any noises. A human with light blue wolf ears and tail walks by. He's wearing a lime green hoodie and jeans, and has an assault rifle on his back. He stops before the staff, and picks it up. He grins at it, then just keeps walking with the staff in his hand. Eventually, he gets far enough so that Fran and Itward can get out of hiding.

Fran: "Who the heck was that?"

Itward: "I don't know, I'm just glad we don't have to deal with him. Should we try going a different way?"

Fran: "Nah, let's just wait for a little bit."

A wild roar comes from behind them.

Fran: "On second thought, maybe we should just keep moving forward right now."

They start moving again at a speedy walk, just to make sure that whatever is behind them doesn't catch up. They expect to run into the human-wolf hybrid, but never do. Instead, they end up back at the ledge where Fran met Sans.

Fran: "What?! How'd this happen? We were going straight, not in a loop!"

Itward: "Maybe this cave is more special then we once thought."

Fran: "We don't have time for this! We need to find Mr. Midnight before it's too late!"

Itward: "Now, now Fran. Don't worry yourself about it, I'm sure he's fine."

Fran: "Okay… So how are we going to get out of here?"

Itward: "Trial and error. We take all possible paths that we can until one of them works."

Fran: "That's going to take forever!"

Itward: "Do we have a choice?"

Fran: "N-no…"

Itward: "Exactly. Now, let's get out of here, shall we?"

Fran and Itward start their trek out again, only to fail once again after only two short paths.

Itward: "That's one combination down."

Fran: "This is like trying every possible combination on a number lock: it'll take us no where and the best thing we can do is just find the combo instead of crawling around!"

Itward: "And how do you suppose we find this 'combo' that will lead us out?"

Fran: "I-I don't know! Sans?"

Itward: "And how are we going to find Sans?"

Fran: "UUUUHG!"

Itward: "Look, if we find Sans on our way, we'll ask him. But for now, we are stuck doing our only option at the moment: try every combination until we get out."

Fran: "Fine."

Itward: "The human Fran Bow was a lot more laid back than you, what happened?"

Fran: "Well you're not all that similar to the skeleton Itward either."

Itward: "We all have our differences to our ancestors, but you just seem like a polar opposite."

Fran: "Some things just don't get predicted right I guess…"

Itward: "Hey, it's alright. Now, we should be getting out of here. Just do your best to backtrack from where you came down the well you told me about earlier."

Fran: "Right."

They go through the cave system for hours, not finding a way though. After about five tries, they run into the human-wolf hybrid again. He keeps his hand on a sword sheathed on the side of his hip.

?: "And you are?"

Fran: "My name is Fran, and this is Itward. We're trying to find our way out of this cave."

?: "Ya, this is a pretty interesting place. It seems that it'll warp you to the bottom if you take the wrong path."

Itward: "Not trying to be rude, but who are you exactly?"

?: "I'm Jay. Right now I'm just wondering through this cave to see if there's any good loot to pick up, but all I found is this staff."

Fran: "Do you know what kind of staff it is?"

Jay: "Ya, it's obviously a mend staff. It's used to mend up wounds of any living thing you want. This one's pretty special. Most mend staves break after a few uses, but this one has infinite uses, using mana to heal things instead."

Itward: "Whoa, how'd you know that?"

Jay: "If you hung out with a pro magic user everyday of your life, you'd know too."

Fran: "Cool! You wouldn't happen to know the way out of here, would you?"

Jay: "Nope."

Itward: "Then how do you plan to get out?"

Jay: "With portals. Now, I'll be leaving now, I've got stuff to do."

Fran: "Can you create a portal for us to get out?"

Jay: "... Don't want too."

Jay creates a ring of rocks imbedded with poison, and lights inside on fire. He hops through it, the ring disappearing.

Fran: "Whoa! Did he just jump through fire?!"

Itward: "It looks like he did. But it looks like we have to get back to getting out."

Fran: "I think I see light up ahead!"

Fran runs forward, Itward close behind. Sure enough, there's the light of day coming from a large hole in the distance.

Itward: "Fran, wait up!"

Just as they're about to reach the hole, Remor pops out of the ground and blocks their way.

Remor: "I see you found each other. Too bad that you can't find Midnight."

Fran: "We WILL find him, just you wait!"

Remor: "I don't think that's happening."

Remor swings his arm at Fran, but gets blasted by a white laser.

Remor: "What?!"

Fran and Itward look behind them to see Sans with a weird looking white skull floating beside him.

Remor: "Who are you?!"

Sans: "A being that is not from this dimension. Now, you'll let these two go their way."

Remor: "No I will not!"

Remor swings at Sans, but Sans teleports out of the way. Three skulls surround Remor.

Sans: "Wrong answer."

The skulls fire lasers from their mouths, hitting Remor. His skull gets cracked. Remor shoots a glare at Fran and Itward.

Remor: "You are lucky that you have him right now, but I will come back and get you next time!"

Remor vanishes into the ground. The skulls disappeared, only leaving scorch marks of where Remor was blasted.

Sans: "Welp, I think it's safe to say he won't be back for a while. Kid, listen. You're going to go far with what you are doing. I think you might even have the skills to get out of here and go to your home."

Fran: "You really think so?!"

Sans: "Yep. You made it this far, so why not?"

Fran: "Thank you!"

Sans: "No problem."

Fran and Itward climb out of the well, hoping that they will be able to find Midnight before it's too late.
