"Aaagh!" Soal rumbled as his fellow legionnaires emerged from Antilone. "We need to catch those little creeps before they spread the information to Lint Corp and ravage the Revolution! Besides, they have the Keys!"
"Yes, we know!" Emma yelled out of deserved frustration. They had just failed to prevent Crenps (Heather and Bridget) from leaving Antilone, and leaving the Legion doomed. "So let's hurry up here!!"
As soon as everyone had entered the Facility and gotten their bearings, Soal entrusted Antilone with Lucy. "Make sure you don't lose this," he assured, handing it to her. "This may be of value to the Revolutes."
Suddenly, two shadowy figures, short in stature, were visible scampering through the hallway just past the INS Grid. "There they are!!" Soal alerted. "Follow them! Run as fast as you possibly can! We need those Keys!!!"
The stakes here were certainly high, as Soal made clear, while the Legion abandoned the INS Grid and entered a vast corridor to the left, where the Lint Corp sisters appeared to be moving. At this point, they realized they were being pursued, and hastened their pace. Soal, who was in the lead, struggled to keep up.
Fortunately, they had cornered the sisters. Trapped, they seemed to know what to do. "We've got them!" Soal smiled with an expression filled the brim with revenge and retaliation. "Draw your weapons, Legion."
These instructions were closely followed, and the legionnaires were prepared to close in on the spies that had been troubling them for such a long time. But the lights here were nonexistent, and all that could be visible were silhouettes, etched against a dreary gray wall of concrete.
"Ignore your fate as you are, and it will arrive," Bridget taunted, her soothing, almost hypnotizing voice halting Soal in his tracks.
Soal gasped, only to witness Bridget force down an iron lever positioned strategically on the wall. "You can't do this!!" he roared with the highest vengeance he could muster, before he, followed by the rest of Safer's Legion, plummeted into a hazy black void opened by the circuitry above.
