Camon entered the library with caution knowing that the Mangles had visited. When he entered, he was taken aback by how destroyed the library was. He looked at the reception desk, but there was no one there. However, Camon spotted a little note on the desk. It said, "Stay away from this library Camon, or the librarian won't be the only one I capture.". There was a little arrow at the bottom of the note. "Archer", he said to himself. "Great, so I've killed the only person that knows where Miss Raven is.", he thought out loud. "Nope, you're not the only one," a voice said behind him. He turned to see a dark-eyed man in a lab coat with a robotic arm. "Um, may I ask who you are?" Camon questioned. Lab coat guy replied, "You already know me... someone... told you who I am. That someone is currently trapped somewhere on this trip and only I and the clone you killed know where she is.". Camon thought tor a moment... and then realized, he was talking to the one and only Dr. Raven. "Oh, uh... Hi Dr. Raven." Camon said in an almost questioning tone. "You're a smart kid you know, reminds me of myself." Dr. Raven replied, "Come with me, I have something to show you." He began to walk into the maze of fallen shelves and books. Camon followed him, looking at the covers of the books as they walked along the aisles. He picked up some he found interesting, like a book titled Tactics for the Dexterous. As he walked, he skimmed through the pages,  which were labeled with many diagrams and guides. Most of the diagrams were body parts doing strange things that helped you move differently, or something of the sort. He shut the book and tucked it under his arm. They were in Section T now. Camon asked, "Where exactly are we going." "Through the dark," said Dr. Raven, "To Section... Z." They got through Section U, and stopped. "Here we are, said Dr. Raven. Camon looked around confused, "Um, we still have a few more letters." "Nope, it cuts off at Y... To get to Section Z, you have to take an alternate route. He walked into Section V. On the shelves were assorted color books. Yellow, green, and a few scattered purple books. Dr. Raven looked at the shelf and grabbed a purple book. When it came out, it had an I. "Oops," he said. He put it back and grabbed a different one with a V on it. "Here we go," he said. He didn't put it back and grabbed the I again. He went to the other purple books and pulled out N-T-E-R. Camon thought for a second, then realized that spelled Vinter, his last name. "Crazy," Camon said. The shelf began to rumble, and then a passage opened up in the bookshelf next to them. They went through to a small room. Directly in front of them was a shelf that said Z, with about 20 books on it. On the bindings were different names. "They're autobiographies," Dr. Raven said, "Of all the members in Section Z. We are here for a book named... Savant. I would like you to read through the book. First, follow me to get my journals. Then, we'll use Section R to get to my lab. Camon grabbed Savant and left the bookshelf. He followed Dr. Raven to the reception desk and the ransom note. Dr. Raven ripped the ransom note off the desk and shredded it. He then bent over and began picking up the fallen stack of book that were his journals. Once they were all collected, they went over to Section R. Again, Dr. Raven grabbed purple books in a certain order. Camon wasn't able to catch all the letters, but he saw V-R-N. The bookshelf opened up and they stepped into an elevator. A button was pressed and the doors slowly closed. They began to go up, into a new domain of the Cult.
