It wasn't hard for Preston or Esma to find this cave that Morcubus and his companions were at to collect metal to build the Nightmare Crown. The two drove the truck through the forest, looking around for the cave, until the second hill they saw during the drive, they found the cave to the right. They parked the truck, and walked over to the cave.

Preston took a flashlight that was inside the truck, bringing it inside the cave for the two of them to see through the darkness. The two began walking through the cave, ready to find some metal for the crown to be created. During the walk, Esma keeps looking backwards at the entrance, hoping to not discover the three people who confronted them were following them right now.

"You sure we have nothing to worry about? It seems like any situation the SPA Agents are in, they tend to get out of it pretty easily." Esma asked, whispering harshly towards Preston. "Those three even figured out about you cheating on Beebee with me."

"Esma, relax. Those three are not leaving the basement." Preston said to her. "Jenny, James, nor that other guy they are with will ever get out of that basement without the keys, or any of the workers allowing them to come out of there."

"I hope they wont even attempt to help those three. Morcubus is counting on me to try to finish the Nightmare Crown, and finish what he started." Esma then looks around the spot they were at right now. "Son of a bitch...Morcubus never told me where the metal is even located in this cave. All he had to say was that himself and a couple of his buddies were out here looking for some in this cave alone." Preston mutters something, before turning his head towards the girl he was with.

"I believe this would've been a lot more easier if we brought along a couple of the workers back in the warehouse?"

"You think?"

Little did the two of them knew, James, Leaf, Jenny, and Makoto all arrived at the cave. It wasn't too hard to find the truck that Preston was using to get to this cave, especially when it came to it being the in the forest. The four of them got out of the car, and headed over to the cave.

James runs over to the trunk of his car, looking around for a flashlight to bring with him. Makoto looks inside of the cave, while Leaf was walking up to the side of the robot girl as she was investigating the cave's entrance. The two stood by, as James was still looking through the trunk of his car, looking for a flashlight. He finally found one, then ran ahead of the others so that he can lead the way.

"Alright...found a flashlight guys! Let's go get those pricks." James said, as he entered the cave.

"Dude, wait for us!" Leaf said, as the three others entered the cave with him.


Upon entering the cave, James kept leading the way, as the Jenny, Leaf, and Makoto were walking behind him. Leaf was the only one standing next to Makoto as they were walking through complete darkness. He seemed pretty uneasy with the girl, despite the fact that she was on their side at the moment. He kept his eyes on her as they were walking through the darkness.

The four arrived at what appears to be a trench that had a bridge made out of wood going across it. James looks down, aiming the flashlight down into the trench, seeing nothing from their spot. There were a couple lights were and there at this spot, most likely because Morcubus needed some light so that they can see when crossing the bridge.

The four started to cross the bridge. Leaf kept looking down the bridge, keeping his balance as they were all crossing it. The elf then looks behind himself, seeing Makoto that was following the three of them as she was looking around the cave spot they were at. Leaf raises an eyebrow, glaring at her.

"Hey, you mind picking up the pace?" Leaf asked. "It's just your average cave with a trench and bridge."

"You're acting like this is normal." James said. "This is stuff that me and Jenny would see in Tomb Raider or something." Leaf raises an eyebrow, confused by that. The geeky goth looks forward. "Right...you don't know what that is yet. You'll figure out what that is once we handle Preston and Esma." James then looks behind himself again. "...Just...uh...try to keep up the pace."

"I am." Leaf then rubs the back of his neck, keeping his eyes on the two first friends in front of him. "I don't mean to question you guys, especially the girl we saved, but...how do we know she's even trustworthy yet? I mean, what if she's working for those two?"

"I know who Makoto is, Leaf." Jenny said, looking behind herself. "I know her because Eleanor met her at the Industrial Park when Esma and Brandi were there. There's nothing to worry about when it comes to her." Leaf shrugged.

"Sorry, I just don't know anything about...whoever that Dr. F and Alexa girl that you guys are talking about." Leaf said. "Are they like...crazy scientists?"

"Well...Dr. F is a bit...excitable when it comes to science. Alexa is probably more calmer than him, and...T.O.B.O.R. is her cousin, so if anyone to ask if it comes to figuring out if Makoto is a colleague or not on MorcuCorp's side, it's him, despite he can get sarcastic and annoyed with many things." Jenny looks forward, hearing the sound of a bang from a distance. James held up a hand, looking up, hearing that voice.

"Damn it, Preston! That could've kill us!" Esma's voice from the distance shouts.

"My apologies! I only have one flashlight!" Preston shouts back.

"They're close." Jenny said. "We should keep going."

"I think we should also be careful what fell." James said, starting to walk again. "I can't imagine how old this cave actually is, considering I have no idea when that Nightmare Crown was even made."

"I believe Walker said something about it being made in the seventies or eighties." Jenny said to her boyfriend. "When I was walking into Morcubus's house back in our town, let's just say that there were posters of Cat Stevens, BeeGees, KC and the Sunshine Band, Queen...so I assume the three of them were creating it around that time, since I think Morcubus ran off to BearTown after Sir Alder confronted him on this." Jenny shrugs her shoulders. "So I can only assume it's around that time, the Nightmare Crown was made."

As the four of them were walking across the bridge, Makoto continued to look around the cave they were in, before hearing a cracking noise below her feet. She looks down, seeing one of her feet, stepping on a broken board. She gasps, before Leaf looks behind himself, hearing her gasp.

The board broke immediately before she could get off of it in time. Makoto fell right through the bridge, causing Jenny and James to look behind them in horror. Leaf runs over to the hole in the bridge, jumping into the hole to save Makoto, causing the geeky couple to shout Leaf's name in shock. James covers his mouth in shock, as Jenny stared down the hole, shaking her head in horror.

Inside the darkness of the trench, Leaf was falling straight down, hands glowing purple as he was going after Makoto as she was falling. He throws a hand down, causing a line of purple light to go down towards the robot girl as she was falling. The light was able to grab Makoto just in time. Leaf levitates himself, and Makoto out of the trench.

"Do you see them?" James asked his girlfriend.

"I don't know. It's too dark." Jenny said.

"Did you guys forget I could levitate?" Leaf asked, with Makoto floating next to him with a purple light keeping her levitating in the air.

James and Jenny looked to the right, seeing the two of them were actually safe and alive. They floated to the other side of the bridge, as James and Jenny finally made it to the other side. Leaf gently lets Makoto down onto her feet, causing her to smile at him.

"My hero..." Makoto said, smiling at him. Leaf stared at her, before shrugging his shoulders.

"Ah, thanks..." Leaf said, before looking down to the ground. "That's the first time somebody's actually called me that." Leaf then looks over to the cave out of this room. "Well, there's the next cave, come on...we should probably go find those two in that room somewhere."

"Let's just hope we're not too late to stop them." James says, as he, Jenny, Leaf, and Makoto all went into that cave room.
