The walk to find where ever the Nome went was long and frustrating. It felt like no matter how hard he looked, Seven couldn't find any thing that lead him to them.

Squeaks just sat on the side lines, occasionally sniffing around, but always kept him in her sight. Not that he cared that much of course, he had bigger things to worry about like FINDING THOSE STUPID CONE-HEADED VERMINS.

Wondering for what must have been hours, the blue jacket boy found himself in a large room full of nothing but coal. With a click, his turned his flashlight on. Squeaks' echos in the vent behind him rattled, causing a chaotic renege of sounds.

He turned at the sudden loud banging noise, and if he knew she wasn't some hungry, feral beast, he would of screamed, seeing her dart out of the vent that let them in.

She pelted away from his side, climbing up a small pile of coal, perching at the top, scanning around. He imagined that if she was an actual animal, her ears would have been pointed upwards in alert. She'd seem like the type.

"'ey, get down from there before you scare off anything," he whispered loudly. She turned her head to him, before going down the coal and padded farther into the room.

Seven gave a sigh, holding his flashlight tight in his hand as he looked around. Squeaks suddenly let out a barrage of cries and loud squeaks, making him jump.

He came over to the coal she had got behind, shining his flashlight down at the raincoat wearing girl. Her shoulders were tensed and her back arched slightly as she growled at whatever was in front of her.

He then shined the light at what she was growling at, finding a small Nome. It was smaller then the others he had seen, pale silver skin and hat, it seemed a bit frightened by the growling other.

'She keeps this up and she's gotta run all of them off,' he concluded.

He hit the flashlight against his leg, making the feral look at him with a small confused look, before turning back.

"Get out of here, Nome," Six hissed, glaring daggers at the tiny cone-headed creature. The Nome looked like she was just allowed out of the colony nest, judging by small she was.

"Y-you can speak?" She asked quickly, stepping back. Six growled again, taking a step forward. She wished she could look intimidating like Frost or Splash, all fur and hackles raised.

"W-wait, I won't hurt you, please, I-I mean no harm! Do you two need help? I-I can take you to the upper levels, there's a hidden staircase just-"

The Nome took a step forward, and Six sprang. Pinning the small creature down, and buried her teeth into the Nome's shoulder.

Cries for help nearly made her eardrums explode, but she kept her grip steady. Nomes were dangerous, they couldn't take a-

With a quick hit from behind, the world went black.

Seven held the head of the flashlight in his hand, looking at the now unconscious animal. Her teeth were still in the Nome, and after a bit of forcing her to let go, the small creature was free.

The Nome backed away, holding its injured arm, looking at him with a fearful look. Seven turned his attention to Squeaks, rolling her now unconscious body a little with his foot. He squatted down, looking at her with a blank face.
