 The next morning, Camillot and Mixadel are getting ready for school and the Holmmes follow them to the carriage.

Camillot notices a rather deep puddle of rainwater.

"Sure has rained a lot overnight." Camillot said.

"I'll say, I never seen that much rainfall before." Shorlok said.

"Yeah, weather up here has been quite odd lately. Don't know why." The king said.

They all pile inside the carriage and start making their way to the school.

"So, any events planned for today at the school?" Watsoon said.

"Just a Rockball game and I do have an assignment to turn in." Camillot said.

"Well, what's the assignment about, sonny?" Cloo wondered.

"How Cubits are mined and then purified before getting into the hands of Mixels everywhere." Camillot said.

"Ah, I might be able to help you on that." Shorlok said.

"Much obliged." Camillot thanked. The carriage suddenly halts as the road they are traversing is blocked off.

Watsoon and Mixadel tumble out of the vessel. "Ouch!" they both said.

"Ah! Chairman! Why have we halted?" The king questioned.

The chairman points at a lone Subterranean Borer tirelessly wandering the street looking distraught. The MCPD and Ranger Jinx are investigating the issue.

"Ah, local law enforcement. I'll see if I can ask for a detour." Shorlok said as he steps outside the carriage and approaches the MCPD.

"Excuse me-" Before Shorlok can finish his sentence, Tiketz turns around in fear and tries firing his taser but it doesn't work.

"Ah, dead batteries again?! That's the last time I shop at that discount battery store." Tiketz said. 

"Okay, tasers aside. Can you explain this incident here, sir?" Shorlok wondered.

"Wait, who are you? I never seen a Mixel like you before." Tiketz wondered.

"Oh, excuse my rudeness, officer. I am Shorlok." Shorlok said.

"Hmm, you don't seem like a Mixel that lives here." Tiketz said.

"Ah, no. I'm from a different place entirely on the Planet Mixel." Shorlok said. Kuffs walks up.

"Let's just cut to the chase, you all are looking for a detour, right?" Kuffs said.

"That's right, I'm traveling with some royals so they can get to class." Shorlok said.

"Oh, easy directions. Go take a right up the Muncho District and it's on your right after the chains leading to the Flexer District. If you find the old I-Cubit building, you gone too far." Kuffs remarked.

"Okay, thanks officer!" Shorlok thanked.

"You got the directions?" Camillot wondered.

"Yep, just head down that street!" Shorlok said as he pointed down Muncho District.

"All right! Let's get to the school!" The king said as the carriage heads towards the district.

"Hey! Watch for traffic!" Tiketz called out.

"Weird little Mixel he was." Kuffs remarked.

Ranger Jinx called over to the two officers. "Hey! I think we found the tunnel she made!" Ranger Jinx shouted.

"Finally, want to get some Cookironies after this?" Kuffs said.

"Thought you never ask!" Tiketz said.
