After settling in at the underground kingdom of tomatoes, Annei, Kasumi, and Len were all just..Well, fitted. They were worshipped. Wildy.
Kasumi walked out of the hard red palace and into the thriving city of tomatoes. She stared around for a moment, and noticed that there were holes in the sides of the extraordinary kingdom. She called Annei and Len out. As they approached, Kasumi pointed to the holes. They were big enough for a pelican to put itself through. But.. Pelicans? What an odd size... Kasumi thought to herself. But not all were that size. Some were big enough for just ladybugs; others for things like onions and green peppers.
Len gazed around at the many holes in the ruby-like walls. Annei, her curiousity getting to her, got down to her knees and examined more of the smaller holes in the wall, the ones for ladybugs. She put her pinky finger in one, and wriggled it to see how far the traveled. Suddenly, she felt a pop. Not her finger, but from inside the wall. There was a small sound of a crack, then something that felt like dirt collapsed around Annei's finger. She wriggled again, and found that the mini hole traveled left. She bent her finger to explore the invisible tunnel, and wriggled it one more time. The wall popped.
A fairly large portion of the wall cracked and erupted, but Annei was focused, and unaware of the large debris about to crush her. She pulled her finger out and looked into it. When she saw a crack leading out of the hole, she looked up...
The red wall sky was falling.
Shreiking, Annei hustled to her friends and grabbed them by the wrist, dashing them towars the slit in the wall from which they came. First, Annei jumped through. Discovering it turned into a tunnel that lead downward, she shreiked once more and grabbed the edge of the top. She looked up at Len and said "Help!" But Len was to busy staring at the ruby sky falling down fairly quickly. Annei's grip loosened as she gaped down into the dark hole that looked never ending. Liek and endless pit; only real this time...But all things had to end sooner or later..Right?
'It's not like im gonna fall through the Earth..The deepest I can go is Earth's core..Where I slowly burn my flesh raw..' She thought timidly. But before she could even look again, Kasumi shreiked and pushed Annei down, praying for freedom. Annei looked up, and the next thing she knew..She was falling. Either up to Sevenfold in one way or another; or to farther in Earth.. Annei looked up, her grasp slipping fairly quickly.
"Kas!" Annei tried to shout above the wild cracking and debris falling. Kasumi looked down at Annei. She saw her friend's expression, but only one thing was going through her head: This can't be happening..
Annei looked down, and grabbed Kasumi, was was unprepared for Annei's 70 pound self, and her elbow gave out, nearly dragging her down into the pit, too. Kasumi was leaning deep over the hole, strongly gripping Annei's arm. Kasumi looked back at Len, who was just sitting there like a statue, glaring at the sky in horror and awe.
"C'MON!" Kasumi shouted, grabbing Len's wrist. Len looked shocked, but didn't have time to react. She was forced down to Kas's level, only Kas was now slipping, halfway in with her leg being supported by the hole's wall. Annei was just sort of dangling, wriggling around to find a ledge to hang onto, but all she had was Kasumi's arm. Len gripped Kasumi's forearm tightly and pulled up.
"NO!" Annei shouted. "WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF THERE!" She shouted, her voice echoing like a bell in the gap.
"So we fall?" Kasumi shouted, her voice just berely making it to Annei's ears.
"I think we have to." Annei said, forcing Kas down by bunching herself up. Kasumi's knee gave out, so her other leg entered the pit, now she was stranded by Len, who was struggling to keep her friend's alive, and Annei, who was trying to get her friend's out of the falling death trap. Len said to Kas: "What do I do?"
"Just let us fall!" Kasumi said. Len, giving in, released the pressure in her legs and let the trio fall, endlessly, for all they know, could be their deaths.
