Randy landed on his feet, which was a nice surprise to him but what wasn't the only surprise what he was going to get.
Rani gasped as she free fell and found herself landing on top of randy.
Randy opened his eyes, realizing that he was laying on the ground and glanced over his shoulder. "What the juice, Rani?"
She quickly got off. "I'm sorry!" she squeaked.
Randy sighed and got up. "What are you doing here?"
"I followed you." He face palmed. "Augh great. At least I left a note...in my room." He said the last part quietly.
"Hopefully they'll see it."
Randy looked at her. "Yeah... Since your here, we better speed up this trip." he said, looking around at different chunks of floating rocks surrounding them.
"What's your plan?"
"To find Jamie and to find the same way I got out last time." Randy replied and grabbed his scarf.
"How are you going to find Jamie?"
Randy looked at her. That was one thing he hadn't plan out. "Um...look around?"
"In this place?" Rocks floated by rearranging themselves. "Yeah. Good luck."
"Well then how would you find him?" Randy asked.
"Simple. I'll talk to him." she replied.
Randy looked at Rani. "You have a phone?"
"No. Not quite." She reached out telepathically to Jamie. "Jamie?"
Jamie was crawling out of a tunnel when he heard his sister's voice and glanced about. "Rani?" he replied.
"It's ok Jamie, dad and I are here. Do you know where you are?"
He stood up and looked around. "Umm. I know I'm on something that looks an island."
"Keep an eye out for us!"
"I will! Do you know where you are?" Jamie called out both in their telepathic link and out loud in hopes they weren't too far.
"Do we know where we are?" Rani asked Randy.
"...Not really. Although. Over there looks familiar." Randy replied, pointing down at a long flat of rocks, where the sky seem to tunnel.
"Apparently we do not." She replied. "See where the sky seems to tunnel where the flat rocks are? Make your way there! We'll meet you there."
"Alright. I'll meet you guys there!" Jamie replied and excitedly headed off to find what his sister just described to him.
While Randy was looking at Rani. "Are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah. He's going to meet us over there."
"Annnd how do you know that?" He asked, curious in how she got her information.
"We're twins. Maybe not identical but still twins. We can talk to each other telepathically."
"That makes so much sense now." Randy said in relief but then quickly gave her a worried looked. "...was I supposed to know this?"
"Ehh, you had your suspicions I'm sure." She replied with a shrug.
"Hmm, too late now. We probably should get going." Randy said.
"Ok."
They began walking towards their meeting destination.
While Jamie was practically sprinting over everything in his way.
As they neared Rani could begin to sense him even better.
"Rani? Are you guys there yet?" Jamie asked in the link, since he still couldn't see them yet.
"No. I don't think so."
"Can't wait to see you and dad again." Jamie said and leaped over a small ravine.
"We can't wait to see you."
Jamie heard a loud crunch and glanced down to see broken parts of skull under his foot. "Wha- I...just crushed a skull." He informed his sister, seeing ahead of him was more bones lying about.
Rani winced. "Oh great."
"We're almost there. But I don't see Jamie." Randy said to Rani as they approached the open flats.
Rani looked around. "We're almost there Jamie."
"Good. I think I'll be coming there soon." Jamie replied as he began to run pass the bones.
"Hopefully see you soon!"
"Y-yeah." Jamie said as he slide down a slope and began to climb up a small rock wall.
Rani kept following Randy.
On their far left, was a figure coming into view.
Randy glanced towards it.
"Jamie?!" Rani called.
"Rani!?" Jamie shouted out and happily bounded towards them.
"Jamie!" She ran forward and hugged him.
Jamie hugged her back. "You're really here." He cried.
Randy smiled under his mask.
"Yeah. Now we have to escape."
Randy looked towards the blazing sky and back at the twins. "Yeah. That's going to be interesting." He said.
Jamie glanced at him. "How are we getting out of here?"
"Last time it was by being swallowed by an monster that had a portal inside it." Randy explained.
Jamie looked at his sister.
"Well...that sounds...fun."
"Not as much fun as getting there." Randy sarcastically commented. "But I could try using the orb?"
"And risk it corrupting you?! No! Jamie takes karate. I take acrobatics. We'll be fine."
Jamie was staring at Randy. "You mean you brought that thing here?!" He questioned, his future dad.
"Yes...I know that's probably not good thing but I did it anyways..." Randy replied, looking at the two.
Jamie sighed. "...let's just go find that monster."
She nodded.
Randy then led the way for them, although he was going to try to bypass some of the disgusting places.
Rani looked around as she followed them.
Suddenly a foul smelling odor was in the air, almost like they were near some kind of animal farm.
Jamie fanned the air.
"Ugh! What is that?" Rani asked.
Randy slightly gagged at the smell. "I think that's our first sign that we're going in the right direction." He replied.
She nodded.
"Why does it smell so bad?" Jamie asked.
"Ya don't want to know." Randy said, walking away from a small ravine that he didn't want the two twins to see.
Rani followed him.
Jamie followed them.
After a little while, the smell begin to fade.
Rani looked around.
"How much longer?" Jamie asked.
"Not too long." Randy replied.
The sky remain the same as they soon approached a vast cliff that went upward.
Jamie saw there were some strange rock faces on the cliff. "Is that normal?" He asked.
"For this place, yes." Randy replied.
Rani tried not to look at them.
Randy kind of forgot that the faces could suck up, like a vacuum, anything in front of them. "Good thing there's just the three of us." Randy said as he latched his ninja scarf to the highest rock. He looked at them.
She nodded and suddenly felt something tugging on her. She turned and saw the rocks pulling her towards them.
Jamie saw he was being dragged towards it too.
Randy then grabbed the two and pulled them away from the wall. "Forgot to mention that the wall will pull you in."
"Good to know."
"Hang on. We're going up." Randy said, feeling his scarf beginning to pull him.
Jamie clung to him.
Rani held on tightly.
The three were shot up as Randy helped them to the top in no time.
"Wow. That's awesome." Jamie said, glancing down the wall.
"Yeah!" she replied with a grin.
Randy had to admit it wasn't as bad as last time. He smiled under his mask before facing the next obstacle. "Larva."
Jamie looked forward and his eyes slightly widened.
"Ew." Rani muttered.
"They're so…big. Did you walk through that?!" Jamie asked, staring down at the sea of larva not to be mistaken for lava.
"No. We used these." Randy said, holding up two long stalagmites.
"Thank goodness."
"Alright, everybody on." Randy said.
Jamie looked at him. "What?"
"On how?" Rani asked.
Randy glanced at them. "We only have two sticks. Unless you can find another set you have to piggyback."
Rani nodded and glanced at Jamie. She looked around for a moment before realizing. "Do you have any fire abilities?" She asked Randy.
Randy dropped the sticks. "Do I have any fire abilities? Watch this." Randy said. He went into ninja rage and shot a tengu fireball across the larva sea, making them crawl and wiggle away from the heat.
"I vote we don't piggyback." Jamie said.
"I do too."
"Ok. Then let's go." Randy said before shooting another fireball but this time down at the larva, plowing through them.
Rani quickly followed him.
Jamie followed as the larva wiggle over the path behind them.
Randy kept going until they reached the end.
"That wasn't that bad."
"Yeah!" Jamie replied while kicking one of the maggots off his leg.
Randy turned back to his normal ninja suit color.
In front of them was a big dark cave.
"Is it in there?"
Randy nodded his head. "Yep. Stay close." He said and walked forward.
She nodded and stayed close.
"What are we looking for again?" Jamie quietly asked.
"We're looking for a monster that looks like a bull with a portal inside it." Randy explained as they continue down the cave.
"Ok..." Rani looked around.
They soon saw piles of bones lying about the cave floor.
This made Jamie walk a little closer to his family.
Randy knew that they were nearing the end of the cave where the monster would be and ready himself as the walked into the empty cave.
Rani looked around curiously.
Jamie looked around. "Is it invisible?" He whispered.
"No it's not invisible. Not here...How can it not be here?!" Randy suddenly exclaimed, searching around.
Rani glanced at Jamie. "You said it was a creature, right? Maybe it left?"
Randy looked over at them. "Right...looks like we're monster hunting." He said.
"Okay then."
After a moment of silence, Randy then tried to see where it could have gone.
Rani started looking.
Jamie did the same, not noticing a tall dark figure watching them.
