Yes this is another story that is it's own seperate continuity I'm playing the safe path this time, as I kind of regret intergrating the PCs of the the previous game into thr Neozoic Tales because I wasn't expecting that game to just...Fall apart the way it did...Also the title is a hint that this is a story about trauma and recovery that I don't want to throw a bunch of my own characters into the mix, Beyond the Supernatural is much more horror themed compared to Robotech's space opera so some spooky stuff is gonna happen in this story.

At the moment all Cashmere could do in response was give a soft bleating groan that basically amount to "Huh?"

"Hang on!" The the Turtle who was now known as 'Leonardo' said "I'll get you out of there!" And he began digging more with his hands clearing more mud from around her head and beginning to uncover her chest...

And that's when it stuck her...Mud? Last she remembered the stuff that was pouring from the celing was more like crude oil or tar, a sticky black substance, where this stuff which was around her currently was very clearly mud.

"Holy moly!" Cashmere heard Skicess familiar hissing giggle "These Turtle boys are cute!"

And she heard the California surfer accented voice chuckle in response.

"Skicess?" Cashmere groaned and she tried to move her head

"Yeah." Leonardo said as he continued digging out Cashmere's body "Your...Sister..." Was our first hint that someone else besides us had been caught in that...Landslide...When we landed and were beginning to get back our bearings...Mikey saw a snake tail sticking out of the mud, he pulled it and he heard groaning coming from underneath.

"Shortly after that..." Came a naisly nerdy sounding voice "An Otter Mutant popped out, being natually aquatic she instinctually 'swam' with the sludge and was able to stay closer to the surface, she's helping us dig out the rest of your group now!"

"OK..." Came the Surfer voice "So far we've dug up three girls so far...We we get lucky and find one more girl?"

"Um..." Came Loot's voice "There is one more female, if you like humans."

"How many of you are there?" Came a gruff Brooklyn accented voice

"Five Mutants..." Said Loot "...Three female, two male...And we had two humans a man and a woman...There kind of was another human and another mutant, a Roadrunner but they weren't in the room with us when...This happened."

"We can get to introductions later!" Leo said "Right now we got to work on digging the rest of them out..."

Seeing he seemed to have done enough digging, he decided to simply wrap his strong, beefy arms around Cashmere's waist and pull her out, Cashemere, felt herself flush a little under her fur feeling his strengh be able to hoist her out of the mud with such relative ease.

"Whoa!" The Surfer Turtle with the Orange Mask exclaimed "Your Snake-Sister said you were a Sheep, but what kind of Sheep are you?"

"A Cameroon Sheep it seems." Said the Nerdy Turtle now revealed to be wearing a purple mask "...A hair sheep from West Africa meaning they have hair instead of regular wool, a pretty unusual breed, and...Despite being a Ewe she has...Giant Ram's horns..."

"Thank you, Encyclopedia Britanica." The Gruff Turtle with the red mask huffed "Now would you like the come over here and help me? Looks I'm found someone even bigger than Casey!" He held up a beefy arm with tiger stripes and claws coming out of the fingertips.

"Oh my gosh Hu!" Loot exclaimed leaping with Otter-Like quickness to assist in digging out the Tiger.

"So...Uh..." Leo realized he still hadn't caught her name

"Cashmere." Skicess said quickly realizing she hadn't given her Sibling's names as she was a little distracted looking at the cute orange masked Turtle who had dug her out.

"Cashmere." Leo said quietly "I...Noticed you have swords...And not just swords...Katanas, I see we seem to have some things in common..."

But then he saw in her eyes a familiar haunted look that he felt a shiver go down his shell as part of him recognized that feeling all too well.

"Holy shell you must have really been through something." Leo said quietly realizing it had to be something more than the landslide, that from him and his brothers perspective they were just beginning patrol going through the sewers when suddenly the ground seemed to explode underneath them and they were caught in a flow of sewer water and muck.

"Just...Rest here..." He said as he set her down "...We'll have the rest of your family out soon enough!"

Skicess seemed to sense something was 'off' with her normally aggressive sister, so the Bushmaster Snake slithered over to the Ewe.

"Hey..." Skicess waved her hand in front of Cashmere's face "...You OK Cashmere?"

"Where are we?" Cashmere asked as she looked around and saw what looked like a giant underground cavern

"Um...Mikey and Donny...Those are the Turtles with the orange and purple masks respectivly." Skicess remembering the flirtatious way Mikey had introduced himself when he saw she was a pretty female reptile "...Mentioned something as being near an a former underground city..." After all the strange things her group had seen thus far an underground civilaztion wasn't that strange and even seemed slightly less horrific than some other things they had seen on their adventures.

The chapter's title is for the part in Ancient Greek plays that means 'Going Down' a trip to the underworld which in modern times is named 'The Belly of the Whale' in the Hero's Journey
