"Ace!" Lightning let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness your okay!" Ace nodded, too busy looking at the strange room to reply. "It's kind of weird, why would Mom put a room under her grave? More importantly, why does she have a grave?" Lightning continued.
"I don't know but there must be a reason behind it," Ace stated, trying to figure out what all this meant. "Hey! Look over there! Why would they put a table down here?" If you hadn't already guessed, Ace was pointing at a table.
"I don't know," Lightning shrugged and walked over to inspect the table, "but it looks like someone was just down here especially since I can still see footprints on the dusty ground and whoever was down here stole whatever was on this table!"
"Let me see," Ace insisted and walked over to the table to see if Lightning was correct. Sadly, she took something after Sofie, her clumsiness. On her way to the table, Ace accidentally tripped over her own two feet and landed on the table.
Red lights started to flash and a loud alarm bounced through the tunnel. "I think you set off an alarm," Lightning guessed looking around the room in deep concern.
"Thank you Captain Obvi- ahh!" Ace couldn't finish her sentence because the table started to move downward. First slowly, then the speed started to increase as Ace stayed on and tried not to fall off. "Lightning!" Ace screamed as loud as she could, "Help me!"
Lightning stopped for a second, just long enough to realize what was going on. Ace must've triggered something when she fell onto the table, that's why it's plummeting to the bottom of the tunnel at full speed! "I'm coming Ace!" Lightning tried to reassure her(hopefully she couldn't hear the doubt in his voice) and he quickly changed into his dragon form.
"Lightning! Hurry!" Ace yelled as loudly as she could, Ace didn't know how much longer she could hold on. Her arms were starting to ache and her voice was starting to fade from all this screaming, if Lightning wanted to save her he needed to do it fast!
Lightning went down after the table and reached out for Ace's hand, "Quick! Grab my hand!" Ace hesitantly stretched her hand over to Lightning, luckily he grabbed her hand just before she would've flew off the table. Lightning stayed in the air and followed the table until it hit the ground.
"Littie, fly down so we can see where the table landed," Ace ordered and pulled herself up onto his back so she could ride on him. Lightning obeyed and landed beside the table on the ground. "Another tunnel!" Ace complained while sliding off Lightning's back.
"I don't think that's the only thing you should be worrying about," A voice spoke from the corner, the unknown voice sprayed pollen Ace recognized immediately, Angel Weed.
***
Ace awoke in a darkly light room, tied to a chair. "Lightning!" She shouted to try and wake him up. The person who had tied them to the chairs had them facing each other so Ace could see Lightning.
"Ace, where are we?" Lightning asked looking around.
"I'm so glad you asked, Littie," the same voice from earlier came out of the corner, "This is going to be fun!" A girl walked out of the corner and walked over to Lightning, Ace had a feeling she wasn't going to like this girl. "The name is Katie and welcome to your doom! Also known as my basement!"
