As you three eat your dinner Pear Butter entered the room "May I join you?" Said Pear Butter, for some reason her voice was very calming. Lazuline stood up and offered her a sit "Here you can sit here" said Lazuline, Pear Butter smiled and sat. "I know that everything is very confusing right now but you have to understand that we also have no clue why the have chosen you" said Pear Butter. Hearty Fan sigh "Umm miss Pear Butter can we know what is exactly your job is?" Asked Hearty Fan. Pear Butter took a sip of her tea "Well to be honest with you we never supposed to be here in this world I mean to be honest we already pass on" said Pear Butter. Your eyes widen "What do you mean pass on" you asked, as you looked at her closely you can see that there is some kind of a symbol on Pear Butters neck. Pear Butter smiled softly "Me and my husband was pulled from the afterlife and we don't know why... But we believe that stolen artifact has something to do with this the longer we stay the more faster are soul disintegrate and this Symbol Zack gave us are the only once that keeping us from fading but in return it's sucking his life force away that's why you have to get it back fast" said Pear Butter. Lazuline smacked the table with her fist "Then what if we didn't make it time?" Said Lazuline. Pear Butter started having tears on her eyes "We will come back to life but Zack will die" said Pear Butter. Hearty Fan took a deep sigh "Zackodia what the hell are you thinking" said Hearty Fan, with a worried but angry tone of voice. Pear Butter held your hand "Pls get it fast before it's to late two days that's all the time you have if you didn't make it by midnight of the second day Zack will die it's not his time yet" said Pear Butter. You sigh "I promise we will get it back but can I just ask... Umm since your down here what do you think of visiting them " you said. Pear Butter eyes widen "Thats... I wish we could but... I believe we can't I mean where really not supposed to be alive again" said Pear Butter as she cries. Lazuline smack you in the head "Seriously you brought that up you dumb ass" said Lazuline. Then you heard a familiar laugh "Why not I mean I'm sure that she will appreciate that I mean the hotel that Apple Jack's in with the rest of our friends are just that building overthere" said Zack. Hearty Fan stood up walks towards him and punched him in the face "I guess I deserve that he he" said Zack. Hearty Fan took a deep breath "How come didn't you told us everything from the start" said Hearty Fan. Zack sigh "We'll first it's not the big of a deal since we only have to get that artifact then figure out why there soul has been pulled out from their body that is stock right somewhere at the mountain of the Griffin mountain just a few miles from the the valley of the damn" said Zack. Pear Butter stood up the moment she heard that their soul has just been pulled out from their bodies "Wait pulled out but me and my husband died of a disease that is unkwon to mankind and it's still incurable today" said Pear Butter. Zack let out a sigh again "Look you and your husband never died but you were stolen and gave you those memories that never existed... I don't know what it is but that is why we to get that artifact back to at least get some answers or so" said Zack. You scratch your head as you got even more confuse "Then your saying that whatever it is that keeping their bodies somewhere it's affecting a lot of people Apple Jack, Apple Bloom, Granny Smith and Big Mac they believed that Pear butter and Bright Mac are gone..." You said, but before you get to finished Lazuline interfered. "I know what I'm gonna hear next what ever is in that Artifact will give us the answer so why don't we just go now and get it all this drama is killing me" said Lazuline, then she just left. Zack giggled "That is actually what I'm gonna say" said Zack, then he gets up and just went to the kitchen you and Hearty followed him and you saw him coughing blood. You and Hearty Gasp "Hey you okay?" You asked. Hearty Fan rub Zack back "I think you should rest here you look really pail" said Hearty Fan. Zack giggled "Then what let you all do the work hell Nah... But I could really use some rest Hearty I... *Yawn* put some notes on what spell you should use to open the magical doors that is sealing it from our world I'm sure you'll figure it your smar..." Said Zack but just before he got to finish his sentence he passed out. Hearty Fan carried him "We need to hurry up if we want him to survive" said Hearty Fan. You nodded and you went to the parking lot and you saw Lazuline waiting for you just outside the RV "What took you so long I'm freezing" said Lazuline. You smiled "We'll no one really tells you to ran off and wait here" you said, for some reason she didn't get mad ingact she smiled. You opened the RV and she immediately went inside and went at the driver sit "So your driving?" You asked. Lazuline looked at you gently seriously what up with her "Well why not RV is just like a car but bigger" said Lazuline. You smiled a little bit "Sure whatever you say Agua" you said, after you saying her first name she blushed deeply and then she looked away and just drove back to the pent house to pick up Hearty Fan. When you two arrived at the pent house you saw Hearty Fan just waiting outside "Huh judging by those equipments looks like where gonna do some climbing" you said. When Hearty Fan got into the RV he sigh "We seriously need to hurry Zacks Heart is slowing down bit by bit... His also starting to fade" said Hearty Fan, the moment Agua heard what Hearty Fan said she immediately drove away. You and Hearty Fan fell down on floor of the RV "Laziline careful" you said. Agua sigh "We have to hurry... He can't die yet not now" said Agua, almost seems like she knows something that you and Hearty Fan don't know. An hour and half later you and your friends reached the valley of the damn and after seeing the place you already know what the place is called that kind of name just beyond the road is a town in between two hills and the hill is connected by bridge that looks really old. After getting of the RV you and your friends went straight to the town and it's a ghost town theres no sign of any life "Man this place is spooky not to mention it stinks literally" said Agua, but as you get closer to the middle of the town the somell keeps getting stronger. Hearty Fan coughed "Just hang in there just a few more miles will be in the west cliff which is where the metal door is" said Hearty Fan. But all of you suddenly stopped since you felt like someone is following you all of you looked around but you saw no one "Something is extremely off in this place" you said, then suddenly someone dragged you from the foot, you screamed Agua and Hearty tried to chase you but the off got thicker and thicker then all of sudden you felt like you've been drugged and felt sleepy. When you woke up your hands were strapped and your legs are chained you realized that your upside down, you looked around and it looks like your in a cellar "Where the hell am I?" You said. As you struggle to free your self you heard someone banging on the door "Wh... Who's there?" You said, then it suddenly stopped and it opened you saw a creature walking right towards you. It went by the lever and pulled it down then you fell down it crawled towards you fast and for some reason it freed you as you get a closer look the thing that help you is "Agua what the hell are you wearing?" You asked. Agua covered your mouth "Shh... It might here us... Did you know that I've been looking for you for 5 days now" said Agua. Wait you've been asleep for 5 days "Wait where Hearty Fan?" You asked. Agua sigh and she looks really sad and scared "Well 3 days ago when Hearty Fan and I were searching for you a bug like creature attacked us while we were getting ready to sleep it dragged me up but Hearty Fan was able to pulled me down and punched the creature right in the face it got mad and took Hearty Fan instead" said Agua, then she cried. You hugged her and comfort her "Shh... It's okay... It's not your fault" you said, then a few minutes later looks like she calmed down. She stand up and help you stand up "Come on we can't waste anytime" said Agua. Agua guided you out of the building that looks like a city hall "Hey Agua do you have any information about Zacks state right now?" You asked. Agua sigh "I did yesterday I was able to get back to the RV and call Starlight... And she said that Zack is now on a critical condition I'm afraid that if we don't get Hearty and That stupid artifact back before Sunset... Zack will die" said Agua. You gulped out of worried "Just how bad is his situation right now?" you asked. Agua looked at you in the eyes "I don't know for sure since Starlight said that his like a hologram but extremely faded" said Agua. "If only we can know where they took Hearty Fan" you said, Agua smirked. "Oh don't worry I know where he is they took him into the metal door that were supposed to got to... All we need right now is a plan and some back up" said Agua. You looked at Lazulines eyes and it says it all "Are you saying that where gonna tell Rainbow and the others about this?" You said. Agua sigh "It's not like we don't have a choice but they have to know plus they can help us a lot not to mention Sunset have to know that Zack is in the brink of life of death" said Agua. You sigh "Fine... Let's do it" you said.
