8: Trying to Start The Water Up Again

Spike and Ori headed out of the Glades after helping rebuild the spirit well there, they climbed up a couple walls and bashed up some more lamps and leapt of a few more poles until they went out of the area, they jumped over a large ledge of poisonous water and they soon stumbled upon the Water Mill.

"Whoa.." Spike said looking at it in awe. The Voice came out to them and they looked at it.
"We remember this place, water from the Luma Pools flow through here feeding the marsh with life, or.. it used to flow, before the Decay.. and the water stopped." The Voice said sadly
"It looks as big as the Ginso Tree..." Ori said as they looked at the huge structure, it was bigger then anything Spike had seen in Equestria, it was no doubt the largest Water Mill he's seen and probably will see.
"where do we start with this?" Ori asked as they looked around.
"Let's try to find the way inside, then we'll try to get the waters flowing again." Spike suggested and Ori agreed to that and they went forward a little.

They jumped over another ledge and climbed upward little bit before coming up on a familiar friend.
"Hey! How's it going?" Spike asked as they came up to him and he noticed them.
"Hello again spirits, well i've decided to find that old library!" He told them.

"There's a library in this place?" Spike asked as he looked at it.
"Yes, an extremely old one, but the doors here won't budge, i've tried opening them to no avail." He explained.
"Something might be stopping them from opening.." Ori suggested.
"I saw a path down just a little bit back, maybe that will lead to the problem." Spike told her.
"That sounds like it could be it, be careful young spirits, i sense a foul presence nearby." He warned.
"We'll be okay, we'll see you in a bit!" Ori said as she and Spike went back a little to find the problem.

They went down an old path that looked like it was built below the Mill, they fought through more enemy's with their weapons while crawling on that special grass from before, they went through some more platforming by bashing off a few more lights, and crawling down a tighter spot to get lower, when they reached the bottom they saw something in between the gears, they both figured that this might be the cause and they used they're powers and destroyed it. Just like they thought after they destroyed it, the wheels started to turn again, on the surface their friend was watching as the door opened and he went on in to see what's inside.

"That must have opened the door." Spike said as they saw the wheels turning.
"Let's head back, hopefully we can find the source of the water problem in there." Ori said as they used the wheels to climb they're way back upwards, they used the wheels to they're advantage and launched off any ones that were spinning in the direction they needed to go. Spike and Ori made they're way back out and saw that the door was open like they thought.
"Great, we're one step closer to fixing the waters." Spike said as they looked at the huge Mill.
" Let's be careful okay?" Ori asked and Spike agreed as they entered the place.

"Though the distance was vast.." The Spirit tree echoed as we see Twilight and the others helping Naru and Gumo help they're way to the other island, Twilight turned to Garble and Smolder.
"Look, i need you two do do something for me, i need you two to fly on over to that land and try to find Spike, please be careful out there." Twilight asked and they nodded.
"Don't worry Twilight, we'll find him before the sun sets, come on Smolder." Garble said as he and Smolder started to take off.
"We'll be careful, just be careful yourself!" Smolder said as they both took off to the other lands flying at high speeds, Twilight and the others were helping Gumo and Naru make they're way as well.
" It could not keep the family apart." The Spirit tree said as Garble and Smolder flew at the land at high speeds with determination.

Spike and Ori had just entered the place and looked around and saw how massive the place was.
"There's got to be multiple floors here to this place." Spike said as he looked around.
"We must find a way to reach the top then.." Ori said as they tried to find the way forward.

They headed off to they're right, they jumped onto another wheel with the glowing grass again and used that to reach the other side, they took down another one of the large blobs that was jamming the gears and they started to turn around at fast speeds, they used that to they're advantage and used it to launch themselves into the air and took down as many blobs jamming the gears as they could.

"Man, this really is different that's for sure." Spike said as they jumped over another large ledge and kept moving.
"Yeah.. i wonder what awaits us at the top?" Ori asked.
"Let's just hope we can get the waters moving again, let's hurry with this, i don't want Ku to be out there for any longer.." Spike said with worry as they kept moving again.

They jumped on a vine of sorts and it opened a path below them, they had to carefully move out of the way for any deadly blasts that could harm them, they jumped off the vine and dashed through it to find another Gorlek ore, they headed back upwards to the top again and jumped off more ropes and poles, they found another blob they had to destroy and more gears started turning yet again, it wasn't done but it was one step closer.

They headed more to the left part of the area, and after going down another ledge they found another Spirit tree within the Mill.
"There must have been a guardian of sorts here.." Spike said as they looked at it.
"You gotta wonder how many spirits perished during this Decay as these people call it.." Ori said sadly as they walked up to it and absorbed the light once more.

Once they were finished they, gained a new ability called the Grapple
"This could help reach higher areas then the bash ability could.." Spike said as they saw a Blue energy thing on the tree.
"Let's test it out then." Ori said as they formed a whip in they're hand and used it to launch themselves into the air, they used this among other blue energy objects to make they're way back to the top.

"This will definitely help in previous areas." Spike said as they reached the top again.
"Let's use this to get higher and find the way to other areas" Ori said as they both agreed to that, they proceeded to head forward to hopefully reach the higher areas and get the water flowing again.
