Astral woke up first. He got up and stretched. He looked over to Pewds to see the Swede sleeping. He sighed and layed back down, too scared to go outside. A few minutes later, Pewds woke up. Astral got up and grabbed the pack.

"Man, I'm hungry," Pewdie complained.

Astral opened the pack. "Well, there is some food here." He took out some food and layed it out. It was mostly snacks, but it was still food.

Once Felix ate, they set off again. Because it was morning, they were not too worried about Slender man chasing them. Still, they were careful of looking out for notes. Astral still didn't get why they had to collect notes. Maybe Slender would leave them alone if they collected all eight.

"How did you get here?" Pewds asked to break the silence.

"My friend Yuma and I were taking a walk in the woods. It seemed like a good idea at first because it was morning, but we got lost along the way," Astral explained. "What about you?"

"Well, you know me. Always getting myself into stuff."

"...Are you afraid of Slender?"

"Me? Pfft, no!"

Astral smiled. Pewds always pretended to be brave, but he always pussied out in the end. It was rather funny to watch him have all the bravado and then scream like a "man" the next. It made him smile.

Astral jumped when a snapping sound was heard. Pewds looked around, then he laughed nervously.

"Were you scared?" the Swede asked arbitrarily. "You shouldn't be scared!"

Astral laughed a little. "You always have a way of making people laugh, Felix."

Pewdie smiled. "Aww, thanks. I get that a lot from all the Bros."

"How many do you have now?"

"About...25 million. Insane, isn't it?"

Astral gaped. "25 million? Where do they come from?"

"Beats me!"

For a while, they forgot all about Slender and their ordeal. That is, until they arrived at a building. A huge, dark building.

Pewds threw his hands up. "Well, this is just perfect!"

Astral looked beyond the building and saw that the journey continued above it.

"This is like Slender the Arrival," he commented sadly. "I guess we have to go in and turn on generators to activate a lift to get us up there."

"Well, that's bullshit! I already went through that when I played Slender the Arrival!"

Astral shivered. "I know. Yuma and I played it. It was hard enough dealing with the game itself. Now, we have to deal with it for real." He shivered again and gripped Felix's shoulder. "Come on."

Pewdie nodded and walked on. They entered cautiously and looked around.

"Hallow?" Pewds called. "Slendy Sloo? Crazy little bitch? Are you here?"

Astral took a blanket out and wrapped it around himself. They couldn't afford to be seen. By Slender and possibly the crazy girl that ran around willy-nilly.

They continued going until they arrived to a machine. Sure enough, they needed to turn on six generators. Pewdie groaned and swept the flashlight around the area. Astral started trembling. He wrapped the blanket closer.

"Where do you think the generators are?" Astral asked. "Do you think they're far from each other?"

"They're definately gonna be far," Pewds answered. "Let's check the storage first."

Astral took a shuddering breath and went with Felix. They went quietly to where they thought the storage was. Sure enough, there was one of six. Pewds activated it, and they hurried back.

Pewdie let out a scream of terror followed by, "STAY BACK YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Then the clicking of the flashlight.

Astral looked back and let out a small scream. The girl that was in Slender the Arrival was running toward them. They started to run. Astral hastily fished a flashlight out and started clicking the button that focused the light. The one chasing them recoiled.

"NOOO SLENDER!!" Pewdie screamed.

They changed direction only to be met with Slender again. Pewdie and Astral screamed and took off in a different direction. Again, they were met with the crazy girl. Again, they took off in another direction. Slender waited just around the corner.

"STAHP!!" Pewds shrieked. "MAKE IT STAHP!! MAKE IT STAHP!!"

"Pewds, please stop screaming," Astral begged. "They will find us if you do."

They stopped in a corner and camped there for a bit. He took out his journal, which was in the pack, and opened it. He kept that journal to record the events that were happening.

"April 1, 2014

Yuma and I went on a morning walk two mornings ago. We couldn't make it back in time to escape the dark, and we soon got lost. Yuma was taken by a man known as Slender man. I have been on the run, searching for him. I met the famous Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, or PewDiePie for those who do not know his real name. Pewdie and I have been running from Slender for two nights.

Recently, we found an abandoned mine place. It is just like Slender the Arrival. Slender and that girl are after us. I do not know if we will make it out alive. I'm so scared.

Trying to stay alive,

Chibi Astral"

"Astral, the coast is clear," Felix hissed.

Astral put the pen and journal back in the pack, strapped it on, and looked around the corner.

"O-okay."

They set off to search for the other five generators. It was much harder than they first thought. Now, they expected the mission to be difficult, but what they were experiencing was just ridiculous. They were constantly being chased by Slender and the girl.

"How many did we activate?" Astral asked after a while. "I lost track."

"Four," Pewds said. "Two more to go."
