While Marth and Flora were searching for some of their friends, Yurkeh, Mohrir, Venom and Katya search for the others in town, without realizing that they might have found something dangerous.
"So, Marth and the others are on their mission, let's get on with ours" - Yurkeh said a few minutes after Marth, Sting, Flora and Byron left for Drake Forest.
"Now, where should they be? Are we sure they didn't went to the Forest as well? Maybe Marth and the others will bring them over here" - Mohrir said, showing her laziness.
"According to professor Ilma, they didn't left, so get up and let's begin to work" - Venom grabbed Mohrir's arm and started to drag her while they looked for their friends.
"Where could they be? The town is small enough, I don't think there are many places one could hide in" - Katya said as she ate a lolipop.
"That's why it shouldn't take long for us to find them, I hope at least, we need to finish before dusk" -
"Yurkeh's right, we might need to split up and-" -
"Oh hey, Venom, Katya" - the redhead's coment got interrupted by a boy with blue eyes and spiky light blue hair with a white headband and a height of 176 cm, his name is Eoin.
"You guys look like you're looking for something, is there a problem?" - said a girl with long green-blond hair and red eyes and a height of 175 cm named Venus.
"Yeah. we're looking for you, well not you exactly, but... Everyone" - said Katya.
"Professor Ilma said he wanted to see all of us to give us something, but he wanted all of us to be together so we came looking for you" - Yurkeh explained.
"Marth, Sting, Flora and Byron went to the Drake Forest while we looked over here" - Venom finished the explanation.
"Oh right, well we found something a little bit outside, and we think you all might need to see it" - Eoin said.
"What exactly?" - Mohrir asked.
"You'll see, it looks like a secret base or something like that, it's incredible" - Venus said while visibly excited.
"Secret base? Are you trying to pull a prank on us" - said Venom.
"No, it legit looks like a secret base" - Eoin answered to the accusation.
"Venus, Eoin, got the drinks alredy?" - a masculine voice asked the two. It was a boy with white hair, dark skin and brown eyes and a height of 172 cm named Quintola.
"Oh, sorry, kinda forgot, but look who we found" - Venus said while pointing at their friends.
"Hmph, if you're not going to buy it then give me back my money, I'll do it myself" - said a girl with long, curly, blonde hair, light blue eyes and a height of 176 cm named Liana.
"Surprised you managed to get the Moon Princess to join you in your little adventure" - Venom said as Liana passed him.
"I'm surprised we even managed to befriend her at all" - Quintola said while lightly laughing.
"Why are you two acting like I'm some sort of unapproachable princess?" - Liana said without looking at the two.
"Remember middle school? You always thought too much of yourself and refused to interact with anyone. It wasn't until 1 year ago that you got close with Yurika and Agnethe and then, to the rest of us, and even like that you still prefer to be alone" - Venus explained.
"It's not my fault that I enjoy a little bit of solitude every once in a while you know?" -
"So for you 'every once in a while' is 'all the time'?" - the question from Katya made everyone laugh a bit, while Liana seemed to ignore it.
"I simply thought that I needed to spend more time with my friends, not much more" -
"Well, whatever the case she's the one that found the secret base we told you about. Come on, the rest should alredy be there" - Eoin said as he, Venus and Quintola started to run to the base, closely followed by the rest of them.
After arriving at their destination, which was a few minutes out of town walking, they were met in the entrance by 2 people, one of them being a boy with white afro style hair, black eyes and a height of 167 cm going by the name of Cinco, the second was a girl with dark teal hair which is both ponytailed and braided, purple eyes and a height of 169 cm going by the name of Callous.
"I know you two were told to do guard, but could you please be a little less obvious about it?" - Quintola said.
"Don't worry, no one goes through this parts, probably the reason no one else found this place before us" - Cinco answered without much of a care.
"Brought friends huh? Fine, as long as they can keep it a secret it's fine for them to see it" - Callous said.
"Why are you acting like we don't know each other for 3 years alredy?" - Mohrir asked after seeing how the girl acted.
"I'm kidding Mo Chan" - Callous answered by slighlt hitting the girl in the head, something she used to do quite a lot.
"Time to show you guys the interior, but try not to touch anything, we don't know how fragile things inside might be" - Cinco warned before opening the entrance, which seemed to be an elevator hiding in a tree.
"Wow, sophisticated" - Katya jokingly said.
After they entered the elevator and descended into the base, they saw how everything seemed pretty abandoned, as dust covered the entire place and while the lights somehow still worked, they were flickering.
After getting to the deepest point, they exited the elevator, meeting two more of their friends. The first was a boy with short white hair, slighly tanned skin, grey eyes and a height of 164 cm named Leonidas. The second one was a girl with smooth, long dark teal hair, red eyes with black pupils and tanned skin with a height of 170 cm named Sierra.
"Hello everyone, welcome to this abandoned place that now belongs to us" - Leonidas said like a joke.
"Don't talk like that, this isn't an attraction" - Sierra scolded his friend.
"Kinda is, to us at least" -
"You little..." -
"Can you two like, not fight right now? Let's give them a tour" - Quintola interrupted them before they could continue.
They started to make their way inside the base, exploring what whoever built it left behind...
