(Mary's P.O.V.) -Meanwhile at Ace of Pilots-

I was sitting upon my bed as Maddie was among me, with Tamora and Felix sitting in one chair, and Ralph sitting down on the floor. I started, "Okay, we have to look at the possibility that Vani is in trouble.".

Maddie huffed, "We looked in every possible place she could be, yet I couldn't keep thinking that she is still in Sugar Rush.".

Tamora frowned, "If that was to be true, there couldn't be anybody who wants to hurt Vanellope.". Ralph scowled, "We all know just one who wants to hurt Vanellope.".

Felix nodded, "Turbo. But we all saw him, brother, heading into that beacon you made in Diet Cola Mountain.".

I frowned, "But you told me and Mary the entire story about him, and Turbo's the type of person who would just do anything to be alive forever.". Tamora looked at us steadily.

"Mary is correct of that, but Turbo will have tricks up his sleeve. Look at what he has done for years.". Felix sighed heavily, "Okay, honey, you're right, but we have to find Vanellope. We don't have all the time in the world, barely two days before Monday.".

Ralph nodded, "I don't want to see Sugar Rush unplugged. It's Vanellope's home.". Maddie tilted her head, "If Vanellope's in Sugar Rush, where could Turbo keep her?".

"It must be neither the Brittle Nut Mountains in the south or the Chocolate Drizzle Mountains in the west since these places have caves and such to have Turbo hiding and keeping Vani prisoner.". I replied thoughtfully.

Tamora grimly smiled, "Shortstop, you go with Maddie and Mary to the south while I and Wreck-It will take the west.". Felix nodded, "Yes, Ma'm.".

"Before we head out, I must head to fly my plane to find rather something important. Yes, we have things to use in a fight, but I figure we should take a special advantage if the battle comes to us.". I responded slowly.

Ralph tilted his head, "You find a secret level already or something?".

I shrugged mildly, "Something like that, man.". Maddie then got up, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go, for bull's sake!". I chuckled at her determination, and we all got out of my tree house, Tamora starting up her glider, getting on with Felix hopping on behind her, and Ralph took our glider as I dragged Maddie to my plane which is standing upon the small meadow besides the tree house.

We climbed in, started up the plane with myself at the controls. We ignored the adrenaline running through our bodies, and I flew up into the air, noticing the others on the gliders waiting for us, and I made a signal, and I made a roundabout to head north. We zoomed to the lake, landing upon the deserted rocky shore.

We got out, the gliders shrunk to portable size, and the others were standing around, looking curious. "Capt, why are we at the lake?". Tamora asked sharply.

"Because of this.". I commented as I walked up to the sandy wall of the cliff, and pushed a camouflaged button which is disguised as a rock. A door instantly opened, revealing a tunnel that heads inward and downward. I heard a 'whoa' from Maddie, a 'oh, my land' from Felix with exhales of breath from Tamora and Ralph.

I went in, hearing the others follow me behind. "Where are we heading, Mary?". Maddie asked quietly.

I replied in the same quiet tone, "Under the lake.".

I heard a splutter from Felix, "How is that possible?". Tamora responded, "It's the work of the game code, Felix.". I felt the track becoming downward, and replied, "We'll be seeing light in a minute.".

Ralph spoke, "How did you find this place, anyway?". I responded, "Wasn't easy. Lost a game, plane almost crashed, and accidentally pushed the button when I was catching my breath, and voila, I found it.".

"Hey, I can see something. I think it's light!". Maddie proclaimed some seconds later. I glanced and saw that she was right. I smiled, "Well done, Mads.". We came upon a wooden door with a frosted window that is showing light through.

I looked at the others in the dim light, "Be careful and control yourself. This place is sacred. I came to know by pure accident.". They nodded with seriously grim looks, and I opened the door, took a deep breath and smiled softly. We filtered out in positions and gasps/exclamations filled the air as they looked around reverently at the ancient stone room. I gave a thought for Vanellope before I went to explain to the others about the room. Be all right, Vani. I know you can take care of yourself, but you attract trouble a lot.
