The four of them were brought through a series of interconnecting tunnels all made of the same material as the cell they were in. Since they left what was the jail area, they hadn’t seen anything that could tell them where they were. All of the walls were bare with the exception of strange orbs which served as lights. They had given up trying to struggle free, the beasts had vice like grips and were not letting go. They didn’t respond to being talked, or in Choopie’s case, yelled at.
After what seemed like forever they came into a large open area. There were 2 large tunnels to the right and the left and a series of windows lined the wall furthest from them. As they headed towards the tunnel to their left Big was able to get a view through the windows. He saw that they were underground and down deep as he could see the rock face was glowing orange from magma below.
They entered the tunnel which had a slight incline and now the walls had shimmer to them. The floors were lit up as well, giving off a light green glow. A few more tunnels later and they came to another large room. This time with multiple tunnels branching off from it, there were no windows here though. Big looked to make sure everyone was doing ok. Choopie seemed bored and kept trying to squirm, Molly still looked scared and Merrow looked worried and her gaze had never left the direction from which they came.
The beasts took them down a tunnel to the right this time but now there were long, wide windows along the sides of the walls. Looking out form these Big was able to see that they were up a little higher and that they seemed to be in some sort of large complex. The tunnels shot all over the place and met at large oval shapes, which must be the large rooms they came across. He also noticed a few large pipes leading from a few of the oval shapes into the cavern walls.
Finally they came to a large door and one of the other beasts put its hand up to a red panel, the door then opened. They entered a very large room filled with all kinds of scientific instruments, large metal tables and some monitors flashing foreign images all over their screens. Along one of the walls were large vats with very strange beings within a fluorescent yellow fluid. From one of the walls a door opened and something short started to come through it..
“Um Big,” said Choopie. “That’s it! That’s the thing that I saw outside at the hole!”
“Oh my, I didn’t think they really existed,” exclaimed Big his mouth dropping.
“What is it, Big?” asked Molly nervously.
“A grey…….”
