"Ugh, where could Oz be?" Gilbert asked himself. "He is in the lowest level of the Abyss, right?"

Raven nodded as it glided across the Abyss. They were already on the lowest level. How could there be a lower level? But then they saw something up ahead, like a house with no walls or a roof. And someone was sitting on the couch.

"Oz!" Gilbert called.

"Gil!" Oz called back. They both hugged.

As they were hugging, Raven poked its head around.

"It seems like Raven found something," Gilbert said. Raven pecked at the ground, wetting its beak. "I'm pretty sure there's something suspicious about that part of the ground. It might be some entrance to something."

Gilbert withdrew his pistol and fired away at the spot. Oz poked at it with his sword. Then Oz put his hand on the spot. He moved it to another part of the ground, testing its texture.

"Raven's right. It does seem strange," Oz confirmed. It felt more. . .soft, softer than the rest of the ground. The softness reminded him of Alice. It was as if he could pick it up like clay. Oz got an idea.

He took the cookie jar and emptied it by eating all the cookies. Then he took the jar and scooped up the clay-like substance. Gilbert watched in astonishment as he kept on scooping it up. Gradually, a hole formed, draining all of the water out from the ground, besides a few floating drops. Oz touched all the floating drops of water, allowing gravity to run it's course.

Oz peered down the hole, and the water did not flood whatever was underneath. It fell down an endless new hole directly below the one Oz dug. Oz had to add some sort of solid object down there to help him see what was under it. But Gilbert was one step ahead. He had handed Oz a desk of some sort. When Oz took it in his hands, it was really heavy. He had to gently put the desk down if he didn't want to hurt himself. Then he picked up the future remote and clicked the button that said "light." He had to admit, it worked better than a usual lamp. There was some sort of passage leading down to a completely different floor. And of course, Oz walked down.

"Oz!" Gilbert protested. "Wait! It could be dangerous! Let me go first!"

"No, Gil," Oz replied. "You can't go! You're my friend. I always considered you one. I don't want you to throw your life away like that."

Oz jumped down the hole and ventured out on the lower hidden floor. Gilbert had to follow behind, but Oz gave him the signal.

"No, Gil," he said simply. "Do not follow me."

As much as Gilbert wanted to follow him, he had to respect his "master." So he simply waited at the upper bottom level of the Abyss.

"If anything happens, I'm coming down with Raven," Gilbert said.
