At Spinners, Trevor and Rex were cleaning out a storage section of the building. Lucky walked over to check on the two.

"Has this ever even been cleaned before??" Trevor asks

"Not by me." Lucky responds. "We're heading up the mountain. You two coming?"

Later, Trevor had joined Lucky and her friends on a truck ride up the mountain the mine was in, Trevor sitting in the back of the truck Lucky was in. Rex was traveling with his Rex ride machine nanite build. When up at the top, Trevor and Lucky sat in the elevator over a mineshaft and Rex turned his legs back into his normal legs and all.

"Why'd you bring me up here?" Trevor asks

"Entertainment value." Lucky responds. "Can you juggle?"

Trevor lightly chuckled a little.

Off to the side, Rex formed his arm into a Slam canon and it shot out a chunk of the ground tha tit picked up as ammo, which impressed everyone there before he turned his arm back to normal.

"What are you doing here in Summerville, anyway?" Lucky asks

"Honestly, my mom won't say it, but we're broke. And we jsut got evicted." Trevor explains. "And the only thing left in our name is this creepy old farmhouse our grandfather left us in the middle of nowhere. No offense to you."

"Not offended. This place is a dump." Lucky responds

"Then why do you live here?" Trevor asked

"I'm fourth generation dump." Lucky responds

The two nodded.

"You think you'll ever leave?" Trevor asks

"I mean, even if I don't what does that say about me?" Lucky comments

"You don't have a car of your own." Trevor points out

Suddenly, the elevator shook a little.

"Get out. Quick." Lucky comments

Trevor and Lucky hopped off the elevator and back to safety and everyone circled around the shaft and looked down.

"What is that??" Trevor asks

"I don't know." Lucky responds

Everyone kept looking. Down at the bottom, there was this weird merge creature of some kind, and it was a mixture of orange, black, white, and green in color.

"Gozer..." The creature boomed in a deep and echoey voice

"I've heard of ghostly beings before in legends I read about about a month ago but that name does not ring a bell." Rex comments

Suddenly, a large spectral beam the same color combinations shot out causing everyone to jump back. Everyone but Trevor and Lucky were chuckling

Back at the dirt farm house, Grooberson and Callie were at a table.

"What is this?" Grooberson questions, picking up a map

"Um, that's a map." Callie responds

"yeah, I know it's a map, but this thing's ancient. It's written in some Cuneiform." Grooberson points out before noticing something. "This is Summerville."

"Well that doesn't make sense." Callie responds with slight confusion

"no, not at all." Grooberson responds. "I mean, Summerville's not even 100 years old and this thing's written in a language from thousands of years ago."
