The others had followed Vanellopeter in the entrance of Sugar Rush on the train. As the train moved to the glitter rainbow bridge, the gang had walked onto the bridge and had continues to follow Vanellopeter to the Diet Cola Mountain. The Mountain was shaped like a cola bottle except it is brown & has two sugar free lollipops on the bottom front.

The gang had entered inside and had looked around at the inside of the big mountain. It was a large open area littered with rocks filed the middle of the cavern and a huge white circular stalactite hung down over the center, suspended from a high ceiling. They could see a nearby sign that read the DIET COLA HOT SPRINGS.

Vanellopeter gestured all around him with a cheerful smile. "Welcome to my hideout! I found this place last week and now I claimed this place as my own. Pretty cool, huh?" He points at the small glowing geyser. "But you guys gotta be careful for the splash when the mentos fall. It is boiling hot."

"That geyser creeps me out." Stefani whimpered, grabbing Lexi's arm in worry.

"Please, you'll survive." Drake said, rolling his eyes at Stefani.

"Okay, first things first." Carlhoun said as he took the map and looked at it carefully. Then he turned to face Rita. "Rita, I need you translated this right here."

"Right." Rita said with a nod as she reads the next part of the old map in French.

"What in the game does that mean?" Drake asked curiously.

"It mean four times four of course." Rita replied.

"All right, so that means it's sixteen." Carlhoun said as he was prepare to figure out the clue on the map.

"What's next, Rita?" Rancia asked.

Rita continues translating as she said. "Stretching feet to nearest eastern point."

"Okay, which way is east?" Stefani asked as Drake uses his scanning sensor to point to the direction of east.

"That's where you'll find the wall." Rita finished.

"The wall...wait, of course! That's it!" Lexi exclaimed with a smile.

"Yup, east is that way." Drake said, pointing eastward while he was looking at his sensor just to make sure that it is indeed right about his direction.

"Come on!" Lexi squealed in delight.

Both Carlhoun, Lexi, Drake, Stefani, Vanellopeter, Rancia, & Rita begin to count paces as they head to the old closed restaurant, all eager for that ancient artifact. After reaching 16 paces, the kids saw something as they were slowly running toward it, avoiding the surroundings of the boiling geyser.

The children took a peek, seeing the brown wall that has a star shape on the center. But it seems to be no lock or anything to open the wall. Rancia tries to use her razor-sharp claws to break the wall as well as Drake using his arm as a cannon and Rita's large fist but it was no avail.

Lexi commented. "There's no way we can open this wall."

"There's should be a key on this very map." Carlhoun said thoughtfully as he looks at the map once more. "The treasure is there. I just know it."

"Wait a minute!" Stefani realized with a grin. "Rita, remember you said that we need a unlock spell in order to open the wall."

"Yeah." Vanellopeter agreed. "You & Stefani can use magic to unlock it."

"Let's do this." Rita nodded.

Rita and Stefani placed their hands on the wall and concentrate on the spell once Drake and Rancia stood back between Lexi and Vanellopeter.

"Not as messy as the floor, please let us open this door!" Rita and Stefani chanted.

At their command, the wall slowly had shape itself as a door and was open in an screech sound. All the kids can see is just a pitch-black space.

"It's open!" Rancia exclaimed.

"We need lights." Carlhoun said.

"You got it." Drake saluted. His eyes slowly turned from green pupils into bright green pupil-less eyes and walk in the dark room as Carlhoun, Lexi, Rancia, Vanellopeter, and Rita follow behind him, leaving Stefani shaking in fright. But Rita had stretched her arm to grab Stefani and pull her in.

"Come on, scaredy-cat!" Rita snapped.

The children entered the dark room, looking around as they headed down the stairs. It looks and hasn't been destroyed in years apparently. The cave was hard cookie platforms with dozens of chocolate chip stuck on the wall everywhere with only two draken tunnels in front of them.

"Wow." Rancia grinned.

"Tell me about it." Carlhoun agreed.

"This is the bottom of the Diet Cola Mountain?" Rita asked in amusement as she looks at the inside of the cool place. "It looks like kiddo should had this hideout weeks ago."

"You say it." Vanellopeter nodded in agreement.

Then, Lexi saw a sign on the left that looked like a code of some forbidden language. She squinted her eyes to see if she could understand but she can't.

"Guys, there's a sign right here but I can't read it." Lexi called to the group as they walked behind Lexi. "Rita? Do you know what language this is?"

"Unfortunately, no." Rita said with an shrug. "But from the way it said, it doesn't look good."

"It's a forbidden language." Rancia spoke. "I can read it." She walked up to gaze at the sign. "It says follow the correct trail to your quest but follow the wrong trail and you will up at the dead end of the hot springs."

The children slowly turned around to see two empty tunnels that lead to an dark hallways.

"So we have to choose the correct trail in order to find the mysterious artifact." Carlhoun said with a sigh.

"Are you crazy?!" Stefani shouted as she still felt scared. "I swear if we all don't get out of here alive when this is over, we gonna end up just like those dead skeletons on the other zombie dead game in the chains..."

Rita of course groaned as she covers Stefani's mouth with her huge fist and gave her a dead glare. "Okay, Stefani, now I'm starting to go like my dad if you can shut up right now."

"Yeah, get a grip!" Drake remarked as he nodded his head in agreement.

"There has to be something between those two trails." Lexi insisted to her brother. "I know it! We need a source to prove which one is the fake trail."

"Oh, give me a break!" Drake snaps as he tried to pick up a signal from his tracker on his right arm. "I've got no trace of finding the real trail."

"Wait, I got an awesome idea!" Rita exclaimed excitedly to their others. "How about we pour milk all over the ground of either trails? That way, the kitty Stefani can lick her way through it."

"Okay, Rita. I can ignore your quips so many times before, but I can't ignore it anymore!" Stefani screeched as if she is ready to fight her cousin. Suddenly, she bumps behind the wall, causing it to crumble. Stefani tries to use her magic to stop it, but it trembled the left tunnel, closing the entrance of it as a mist of grey smoke slithered in the air. Rancia sweeps on the ground like a tornado for the mist to disappear.

"Nice work, sis." Vanellopeter smiled at his sister's work.

"Why would that smoke was coming anyway?" Stefani asked.

"It's a scent from something." Rancia explained. "I'm so sure where it came from, but I know it's not from here at all."

Then Lexi heard a noise and look up to see a big scythe swinging back & forth, cutting at the chains holding the boulders above.

That doesn't look good. Lexi gulped a bit. She turned to her brother and her friends. "Guys, don't move! Stay where you are! Don't move!"

"What?!" Rita asked puzzled as she turned around after getting up from the ground. She is a bit far away from the others, but is a bit close to Vanellopeter. "Huh?!"

"Don't move! Start where you are!" Lexi yelled to Vanellopeter and Rita in alarm. "There's boulders on top of you when Stefani's magic accidentally triggered to fall! Don't move!"

Rita looks up, gasping as she saw the boulders hanging over there. Instead of standing still, she screamed as she rushes to Vanellopeter like mad.

"Oh well." Drake said with a shrug. "So much of them standing still!"

"Let's get out of here!" Rancia screamed to Rita, Vanellopeter, and Stefani.

"Run!" Carlhoun shouted as he and his sister saw the boulder and begins running out of here.

"Hey, look what I've found! It's a key." Vanellopeter exclaimed, picking up a key that looked like a crown. "I'll hold this for safekeeping."

"No time, kiddo!" Rita yelled, picking him up onto her left shoulder. "Let's go!"

The gang rushes over to the right trail and jumping for it safety as the last boulder crashed to the entrance.

"Man, that was a close one!" Drake exclaimed with a sigh. "Is everyone okay?"

"We're okay! Thanks!" Rancia called out. She had hugged her little brother tightly. "And so is my brother!"

"Me, Rita, and Lexi are okay as well!" Stefani hollered.

"Let's keep moving." Carlhoun said as he got up from the ground. "This trail must lead to what we are looking for."
