Ever since their adventure started, Isaac met two new people, had a small mutation or two, feeling stronger than before, and now he thinks he hears his mothers laugh. So Isaac, Cain, and Maggy leaped down the pathway to go down to the next place, and there seemed to be lots of skeletal things down there. They weren't getting hurt from the shield they picked up in that church-like room.

"Ich, look at all these skeletons..." Maggy said, obviously disgusted. "What? Ich? ICH? This is awesome! I love skeletons!" Cain yelled, not at Maggy, but in general. "Calm down Cain, you're gonna get us-" BOOM! A green explosion came very close to hitting Maggy. "Whoa!" Maggy fell over saying. "That wasn't too nice, but they do all look sick... I'm gonna go see if they need help!" "No, that's not a great idea..." Isaac told her. "What's the matter guys?" she asked. All they made were a gurgling noise. "Okay, I can't understand you guys." Then a green sphere came out and started to fly through the air. It exploded right onto Maggy's face. "Ouch!" she yelled as she was rubbing her face.

The gurgling monsters moved in a few paths, and a green thing that looked like the piles of flesh on the area above came in and looked at them.

"Who dares disturb me?!" it yelled, as it walked in, and doors closing in all areas. "Oh uh, hi, Mr. Green man person thing... you..." Isaac stuttered. "Was it you who disturbed my sleep?" "Well, I, um..." Cain started to walk in as he said this: "I was the one who disturbed you. I hereby give you my most sincere apologies, and we can be best friends!" He only glared at Cain, as he spat out something that looked like Joe towards him.

"My name is Sloth, and I will end you all!" he yelled. Everyone, including Joe got prepared to attack, Then he vomited stronger explosions than those gurgling beasts did. He aimed towards Cain first because he, well disturbed him. Isaac, shooting with his laser, somehow saw someone inside of his laser. "Screen Transmission! Screen Transmission! Smith! Are you there?!" the person inside said. "Who's Smith?" Isaac, asked, firing his laser, holding down the microphone button on the side. "Oh? Might I ask who you are?" the person asked. "My name? It's, umm... Isaac...?" The guy seemed to be confused. "Are you sure that's your name kid?" he asked. "Yes I am, I'm just fighting something with this." Isaac replied.

"Isaac, get over here and help please!" Maggy said, shooting her tears at Sloth. "I'll be over in a minute!" Isaac yelled back. "Now what did you need, sir?" he asked the person. "Oh right! My name is Agent Brandon, and I have this search function on this specific technologic eye, only a few in the industry, and he was last seen with this on. We have no idea where he was, we kept trying to get a hold of him, and there was no answer. That's why you need to go find him and return it to him for us." he explained. "Well, there are a few words in there that I didn't understand..." Isaac said. "BOOM!" An explosion hit Isaac's foot and the shield wore off. "I'll be back, I need to take care of this guy." Isaac said. Firing his laser, he moved around a lot and just kept on doing that.

As Sloth did his final breath of defeat, he fell over, his head falling off and placed atop a stone. Cain picked it up, and did some research on it as Isaac and Maggy talked to Brandon.

"So, who is this "Smith" person, sir?" Maggy asked. "Well, young lass, he was last seen in that particular spot you are in right now, inside some Catacombs. Which you are in. I need you to return it to him and fast." he told us. "Signing out, and that is all you need to know."

Isaac stood up, brushing himself off while sort of twitching, trying to process what just happened, he took a look around for those gurgling monsters. But he happened to not see anything in the next room, so he just walked in with the others following very shortly behind. But he LIED. They were hiding in the corners , and they all fired. "Whoa, get out of the way!" someone yelled in the pit underneath. So they listened, and they moved, and shot the gurglers. He looked around, as he saw nothing, but he almost fell down the pit. Maggy was fast to act and grabbed Isaac up. Isaac looked down the pit and saw someone down there. He seemed to have long, brown hair, and he couldn't get out.

"Hey guys! Great to meet you!" he said. "Hi, are you Mr. Smith?" Maggy asked. "Well, no. But my name is Samson, and I was trapped down here by those green things. They kept throwing their explosives down on me. But I can get out with a little help from you guys. If you can, there is a ladder inside of the shop. You can buy it for fifteen cents. And I have a half of the ladder. So I need you to buy it for me and to reach it down." he explained. "I have a key to get in guys." Cain said.

They walked into the next room, and actually found a locked door. "Well, that was quick." Cain said, scratching his head. But there were fat silkworms that spat out stuff, making a farting sound. "Ewww, that's gross." Isaac said, chuckling. "Quite." Maggy replied. But they were surprisingly fragile, and then they started towards the locked door. All they found was a book and two batteries in the middle. It seemed to have a face on it. Cain opened it up, and saw words on the first page.

"Read these words on the other pages, then your enemies will suffer from this sting." he read. "Huh. I guess, lightning strikes on all enemies?" Cain asked. "I don't know, but I'll try it out." he said. So hey took a turn and saw those piles of flesh. Cain readied his book.

"By power of this book, I, hereby am worthy, to open this book and read these words, by which you all will suffer." He raises the book in the air. "I summon thee, the unseeable force!" A growl happened, and the ground started to shake. Cain held on to the book, as Isaac and Maggy went closer to a wall. Then the piles just collapsed, and Isaac finished them off by firing the laser. But the book was used with a cost. It closed shut, locked as it had a door lock on it. "Wait, can I get this open?" Cain said. "Let me try!" Isaac said, reaching for it. Cain didn't want to release hold of it, so he disagreed.

"Well then, let's look for the shop." Isaac said. He checked his wallet. But he only had thirteen cents. "Cain, do you have any coins?" Isaac asked him. He shook his head. "Well, crap." Isaac growled. "Well, I'm getting really tired, can we rest for a while?" Maggy asked. "I guess I see no harm in it." Isaac replied. They all stretched, groaned, and took a seat, as they discussed how they were going to get out.
