“Huh?!” Ramsey looks confused. “Wait. What just happened?”

“Oops! …My bad!” I smile a little. “That was a total accident.”

“My bad?! A total accident?!” Ramsey looks at me quickly and then looks above us. “We just overshot the stone wall! How the hell did you manage to mess that up?!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I may have gotten a little over-excited and jumped a tad too far.” I say, smiling.

“Daaammmn iiit…!” Ramsey shouts.

“Yahoo!” I say as I fall backwards towards the ground.

Maka begins to wake from his slumber only to be met with another dangerous situation. “Huh?” Maka looks around, “Wait, what’s going on here?! Are we falling?! Oh, please tell me we’re not falling!” Maka looks at me in a panic. “How did we get ourselves into this situation?!”

Noticing Maka is awake, I look over my shoulder. “Oh, Maka, you’re finally up from your nap.”

“I was sleeping?” Maka looks confused.

“Just ignore Fukai. Heee’s an idiot! You just… fainted a little bit, that’s all!” Ramsey states.

“Ummm… that’s not good at all!” Maka looks down in a panic. “…And what are we going to do about this situation?!”

“Oh, right!” I reach into my pocket and pull out a broken piece of Maka’s Auracraft. “I really hope this works!” I push the button and a little gust of wind shoots out, slowing down our momentum just before we hit the ground.

*Crash!*

“Whew! That was fun!” I say, smiling while jumping to my feet.

“Ouch! That really hurt!” Maka stands up while rubbing his butt.

Ramsey starts to get up off the ground while rubbing the back of his head. “Tck. Tck. Tck. Tck. I wouldn’t want to go through that again.” Ramsey looks at his surroundings. “Hmmm… something feels off.” Ramsey states, feeling an unfamiliarity with the surrounding area. “How far did we go?”

“Maka, are you okay?” I ask while walking up to Maka.

“I’m alright, somehow, but where are we?” Maka responds, looking around confused.

Ramsey looks at me with a little concern. “I think it would be best if we head back to the village.” Meanwhile, Ramsey looks around, a little on edge. “This is weird. There’s no sound. This is the Deep Jungle; there’s always sound.” Ramsey says to himself.

Maka wipes the dirt off his clothes. “Man, my clothes are all dirty. My mom is going to kill me!” Maka looks up and notices that on the stone wall are ancient glyphs, inscribed all over it. “What is that?” Maka asks while slowly approaching.

“Maka, what is what?” I inquire, looking over at Maka.

“There, in the stone wall, there’s some kind of… orb? I think?” Maka points over at the stone wall.

Ramsey quickly turns around. “What?!”

A small, mechanical orb that looks like it was carefully placed there begins to shine. “Holy crap! F-Fukai! There’s something crazy going on here!” Maka turns to me in a panic.

“Kekekeke! Alright!” I fully turn around with excitement in my eyes. “Now this is what I’m talking about!” I begin to make my way towards the orb. “I can’t…”

“Wait! Fukai! Don’t go near that thing!” Ramsey shouts at me. “We don’t even know what it is!”

Maka grabs my arm in fear. “Please listen to Ramsey, Kai!”

“You know I’m right, Fukai!” Ramsey stalks up to me in anger. “This isn’t the time to be playing around! Look around us.” Ramsey grabs me by the collar, “We’re in literal and figurative uncharted territory here!”

A screeching sound echoes throughout our entire bodies. “W-W-What the hell was that?!” My hands are shaking from the sensation. “W-What is this feeling?” I look at the mechanical orb, which begins to shake. “What is that?”

“Fukai, listen to me. I think we should leave this place.” Maka pulls on my arm.

“Maka is right. We need to leave.” Ramsey looks at me with concern.

“R-Right. We should go.” Despite all the warning signs, all my friends pleas, I’m still somehow drawn to the mechanical orb. “Huh? Who said that?” My body starts to move on its own.

“Fukai! What’s wrong! …Fukai!” Ramsey shouts.

As I approach the mechanical orb I hear a voice call out to me.

“Please! Please help me! I beg of you! Please, help me!” It’s a woman’s voice that echoes through me as I reach out for the mechanical orb.

Everything goes bright.
