"We should leave this place," said Rick, "We're not safe."
"Of course we're not," said Ileria, "We have the Princess. All Manner of darkness will be after her. I suggest we leave the city until we can figure out a plan of action."
Alles was deep in thought. This was bad. Where could they go? Somwhere a bit secluded....perhaps with a number of people. "I've got it, We should go to the Antartic Subterranian Colony."
"Does anyone still live there?"
"I dont know. But it'll be a nice hiding spot."

Damn right it was, Emily thought instead of saying it out loud. "Isn't there supposed to be a realm that its safe for the rulers?" She looked hopeful, trying to show-without saying it out loud- that she didn't think the antartic idea was a good one. She'd go if there wasn't but she wasn't going to be skipping all the way there.
Alles could see the uneasyness Emily had. "It'll be fine. There is a transport system in the city we can take. It might need a little boost but we'll be ther in no time."
Ileria followed Alles out of the chamber. Emily stared after them, "Come on, I'll protect you," Rick said as he passed her.

The arrived at a tall building just outside the central building gates. It was humid and moist inside. Some of the barriers must have been broken, allowing several climates to interact with each other.
"Our's is on floor 66," said Alles, "And from the looks of things we'll be taking the stairs."
"Dont you have elevators?" asked Emily.
"Of course we do," Ileria said, "But unless you have a 25,000 year old crystal at full power we'll be taking the stairs." Emily sighed and followed them.

It was hard to believe how much power Emily had, considering how tired she got. "We have arrived," said Ileria as she cleared out the old spider webs.
"The gate is still intact," Alles said inspecting an old wooden door. The light above it was out but it wouldn't take much to get it running again.
"What do we have to do?" asked Rick
"Just a sec..."Alles fiddled with the frame a bit. It took a far bit of force to pry the panel open but the wires were still in prestine shape. "We need a bit of lightning."
Rick stepped forward. He muttered the incantation anda bolt of electricity shot from his hand into the door. The green light came on.
"Alright, Hurry along, I've no idea how long it will last."
"Maybe Senpai ate Yuka-tan's last bon-bon?" ----Stupei, Ace Defective
Alles opened the door and ushered everyone inside. The other side wasn't anarticly cold but chilly.
"Come on," Ileria said, going for a set of parkas on the wall. She handed a purple and black parka to Emily, and two others to Alles.
Emily zipped her parka up and pulled the hood over her head, she pulled a pair of goggles off of the wall and put them over her eyes. She dissappeared into the giant coat.
"How far do we have to go?" she asked.
"What?" Rick teased.
Emily playfully punched him on the arm and turned to Ileria.
"Not very far, mpost people don't think its okay to take the parkas so they go without coats. Stupid really but they do so its close enough that they don't die."
