Gregor looked up from where he was sitting on the ground. And saw the familiar faces of the fireflies. He was somewhat happy to see them. Shocked too. He was tired, and sore, but he still struggled to his feet and waved his hands in the air.

"Over here!" He called. "Hey! Over here!"

The fireflies pretended not to notice that he was there. That was, until he said the most important thing to a shiner.

"Cake!" he exclaimed. "Cake! Cake! I'll give you take if you take me back to my friends!"

Photos Glow-Glow looked down for a moment, and then came in for a landing. Zap followed closely behind. "Overlander." Photos Glow-Glow said plainly. "What brings you back here? Zap thought you to be dead for sure."

"I did not!" screamed Zap in her own defense. "Liar! Liar!"

"Whatever!" Gregor shouted over them with the energy that he still had. "I don't care who thought what, i just need to get back. Okay?"

Photos Glow-Glow was silent for a moment. "What was that you said about cake?"

Gregor sighed. "You're hopeless."

"If the Overlander can promise us one of those wonderful Regalian feasts... Zap and I would be glad to take you where ever you wish to go."

Zap grumbled under her breath. Gregor didnt catch what she had said. Nor did he care.

"Anything." Gregor sighed. "And to start it off, something over there smells awful. You should go check it out."

Photos Glow-Glow and Zap almost instantly took to the air to see what Gregor was talking about.

It was disgusting, listening to the two shiners argue over the rat carcass. And then to hear them munching on it. The crunch of bone made Gregor want to bash his head against a rock. It was foul, and made Gregor want to be sick again.

When the shiners finally returned, Photos Glow-Glow thanked Gregor, and then offered him to ride on Zaps back to his desired detination. She didn't complain this time, which was surprising.

As they took to the air and began to leave the place behind, Gregor began to feel at ease once again.

The ride seemed to be taking longer than what Gregor had expected. 'Maybe I'm further down than I thought,' Gregor thought to himself. But soon it was aparent that something was off.

"Where are we going?" Gregor finally asked Zap.

"We are going through the shiners land. The way you desired to go has been overrun by the spinners. It is not safe." Zap replied in her usually whiney voice.

"What? But the spinners are allied with the humans. Why would they attack us?" Gregor was beginning to feel somewhat alarmed for his friends.

"The spinners are seeking power in the Underland, Overlander. They wish to overthrow the humans now that the gnawers are nolonger a threat to them." Photos Glow-Glow put in.

Maybe it was just Gregor, but the shiners were being especially kind to him. and helpful too.

"Oh," Gregor said.

Then something dawned on him. He gasped. "But that means...! The spinners have Hazard! They're gonna try to trap Luxa! They're in trouble!" Gregor's heart was pounding hard. "I have to save them!"

Sorry that the ending was kind of dumb! I didn't mean for it to suck. Also, since now I have to have all of the other chapters up to know where I am in the story, i realize that my Email didnt make it on here all the way. Its SpencerFox575 .

Thanks for sticking with me on this. hopefully I'll update soon! Review please!
