So far, seems like the standard mine; just dusty tunnels, abandoned mine carts lying around, and a mine track stretching through a tunnel over a pit.

Looks at the pit, "D-do we have to cross that?" Taking a moment to scan the area, "Likely." @thunderhawk@ Looks at the track, "These rails should be still strong enough to allow us to use as a bridge, provided if we keep our balance." "Can't we use that?" Jan points to the cart. "Pending if it still works."

Jumping in, she used her cyborg-optics to scan it. And her readings indicate that the cart is motorized, but lacks power. And judging by the looks of this mine, there hadn't been any source of power for decades. "No power."

@thunderhawk@ "Looks like we'll have to balance over it." "You mean you guys can't glide?" @thunderhawk@ He look back at her, "Glide?" Blushing, not wanting to look like a freak in front of others her own kind. "Oh, nothing."

Sighing, she walked across the track bridge with ease.

As he walked with the others, Zachary kept a scan on the cavern, detecting how far the signature might be. Though depending how much of a quantity it is, will he be able to get a suffice number away from this tribe, as they now know they require it for protection.

It felt like they been traveling for about thirty minutes. The only thing that was the source of light was something Zachary was using...maybe one of his robotic parts. Alicia had a pocket flashlight. Just nothing but tunnels, and tunnels, and- Alert!! Raw Chaos energy detected.

Detecting the same, he smirked. "We're near!"

"Eh?!" It seems the tunnel ended before a massive pit room. What was strange about it...was that there was pieces of earth floating up and down...like a video game. A zone?! Here?!?!

"Wha-what is that?!" Jan gawked. @thunderhawk@ "What manner of sorcery is this?!" "That my dear friend, is physical proof we are close." Zachary bellowed a laugh. "The energy we are seeking must have radiate the nearby landscape. Most interesting, I must say."

You have no idea. "Keep sharp. I'm guessing this is why the humans don't come here." With that, she leaped onto one floating platform, then to another.

"She seems... okay with it." "Let's move." Zachary's jets flared as he used them for a boost.

"...." Standing on one of the platforms, she looked back to see how the other echidnas will cross.

@thunderhawk@ A few of Thunderhawk's followers stumbled a bit on every hop. One even trembled when looking down, only jump when one of his buddies nudge him in the arm. Thunderhawk however kept his head cool, making each jump gracefully. Thankfully those men were too busy to see Jan sneak a few glidings here and there to make through the platforms.

"....." Beeeeest to keep an eye on the echidnas. If any of them died, it might affect the future.

@thunderhawk@ Thankfully none of them fall. It did took awhile, but the echidnas managed to reach up to the others. Zachary's curiosity was impatient, he long to seek out this energy. However he has to put up with these echidnas who are slowing him down. He wished they found this mine without them, but... they might still be of use.

Bouncing across the rest of the platforms with swift ease, she landed on the opposite tunnel...and saw some spikes near the walls, There was a hole down ahead, near a wall...with spike-balls attached to chains...swinging VERY slowly. Frankly, this place was reminding her of the Mystic Cave Zone.

Finally making it across the pit with the others, Jan was the first to gasped at the sight of all the spikes. "This cavern just keeps surprising me." The white echidna mused.

BGM: Time Eater Boss Theme "Huh?" She felt a bit woozy, seeing rainbowish colors ripple around her. She wondered if it was her, but Nicole detected a high-level dimensional reading... ...and suddenly, many flashes of light erupted across the tunnel, forming into familiar robots. Badniks?!?! Now she had no idea what was going on, anymore.

"Ro-robots?!" Jan gasped. @thunderhawk@ Gritting his teeth, "I've heard humans used them to hunt us... but these look childish!"

Childish, maybe, but their thirst for blood, they were not. The deadly bug spotted the echidnas, and hissed like snakes. It lashed at them like a snake, trying to sliced them with its bladed claws. She could reprogram them, with Nicole, but that may raise suspicion. So, she took out her laser pistol and fired at that Badnik to pieces. Parts exploded apart, leaving but a small gold ring, which was its power source.

@thunderhawk@ "ATTACK!" Thunderhawk ordered his men to charge at the robots. "That ring!" Jan gasped as it appeared. It looked like the one she, Sara and Aleena found from that pond. "It shows slight signature similar the energy were tracking, but not enough." Zachary analyzed. If Granite or another human did built these, than where did they get such a power source?

The little lightening bug robots flew at the echidna warriors, shrugging dancing sparks to hit them. Alicia kept firing at the robotic bugs, since they were the bigger threat. Each robot taken down, rings were freed. But when these rings faded into the ground...more rings suddenly popped out, floating on the ground, in rows in various areas.

"Things rings are pooping up everywhere!" Jan exclaimed. As she tossed away one robot, she approached a ring. She remembered how it made Aleena get all superpowers. If it can also power up a robot, than what can she use it for? Meanwhile the echidnas gave it their all in the fight, a few scrapes here and there but they didn't back down.

Sadly nothing. These rings were smaller than the ones she seen Aleena use. However, they do have defensive use. And with a final shot to a Badnik, "Last one."
