The others followed Talec down into the sewer system. Talec, since he fell no jumped, was covered in muc from the bottom of the water.
'Ewwwww!' Nobara said, 'I can feel that stuff on the bottom of my feet.'
'And thanks to Talec I can smell it!' Splash said.
'Oh shut up!' Talec said to them. He then looked around at the sewer piping.
'Where do you think this goes?' Coppertop asked =.
'I think a long distance north,' Talec said, 'remember there were creations by the forest up the north?'
'Oh yeah!' Nobara said, 'you think they're using the sewer system to get around Carrotus?'
'Specially made by Nebula I bet,' Coppertop said.
'But it would take ages to get from here to the north wouldn't it?' Splash said.
Talec saw Splash's backpack, 'They'd need something to move about with, something fast...something that would go across...mucky water...'
Nobara laughed then quietened down when Talec gave her an evil look.
'So are we gonna head north then?' Splash asked.
'It is a trap,' Talec said, 'they are expecting us...'
'How do you know?' Splash replied.
'Think about it, that one creation protecting the sewer entrance here? He was small and unable to do a lot.'
'Good point,' Coppertop said, 'So they might have wanted u to know it was a trap right?'
'Right,' Talec said, 'hopefully TIME will tell us where to...'
'...head South.....'
'Wow that was quick,' Talec said, 'head south you all heard right?'
They all nodded.
'Right so lets go...' Talec said to them, running down the pipe, half covered in...well...whatever it was...
-MEANWHILE- (I bet you lot were waiting for that word...)
'Where to now?' Angel asked Rumbo as they stood on TIME's border.
'We go to Nebula's realm, to meet my dad...'
'Gargant? Isn't he dead?'
'Yes...but not in THAT sense. Trust me I've died three times in my supposed lifetime.'
'I know Rumbo, I lived in your body remember?'
They had a little laugh about that. The Rumbo decided it was time to go.
'Lets go,' Rumbo said.
'Lead the way...' Angel said.
They left, not seeing any other form of life for some time......
