This seemed like a pretty deserted area on the island...hopefully, he wasn't going to run into any of the SWATbots as they called it, while he walked through such a desolate wasteland...  ...but it was weird how they didn't pay attention to the fact that he set out from the underground city. Even if Chuck wasn't there to watch over things, none of the agents caught him leaving the place. Of course, he made sure not to get caught since he didn't want to reveal where it was to the watchful eyes of this...dictator they kept talking about. But with everyone so busy with their own thing, and no one knowing exactly where Jill was, he took it upon himself to set out to find her. If she was anywhere on this war-torn country, he had to find her. And he was at least alone, so he didn't have to worry about anyone else's safety. tag Ed |

"AAAGH!" Or, at least he thought he was alone. He turned around. "Jack?! Why did you follow me?!" |

"Because you looked like you were heading off on some adventure." Jack remarked with a light grin. "I figured it could be fun to tag along." |

"Bud, it's not an adventure. I'm looking for someone." He grabbed Jack and got him to a hiding spot so they weren't too much out into the open. "There's no point telling you to go back, but just stay close to me okay? No telling if those SWATbots will catch us around here." |

"...oh, okay, okay." Nodding as if he understood, Jack simply gave Brick a smile in return. "...hey, by the way, what's a SWATbot?" |

...admittedly, these kids just sort of appeared on the island, so it wasn't his fault he didn't know. "You'll find out soon enough...but lets hope we don't run into them..." He started sneaking around with him. "...by the way, you come from the Nameless Zone right? Where Princess Blaze comes from?" |

"Yup!" Jack grinned as he snuck after Brick. "It's a pretty neat place!" |

"Did you know that it merged with this world?" Brick mentioned. "With that logic, you should be able to get back home easily to your folks..." |

"...wait, really?" Jack blinked, as he rubbed his chin a little. "...oh, wait! I think I already knew that!" He grinned. "Because me and my friends tried to visit Princess Blaze some time ago!" |

"Huh..." Not that he would know, given that he remembered trying to help someone and then just...disappearing. And that was when he was separated from Jill. "But, again, maybe you should think about going home and checking with your parents, let them know you're okay. Same goes for your friends too." Except Ani of course, since he's not sure if Ani has parents or anything of the sort. |

"...maybe..." Jack remarked with a small hum, before smiling. "...but I can't right now, right? We're all still stuck around here for now." |

Yeah, that much was true...and he was responsible for Jack. "Ugh..." He really hoped Jill was around here somewhere.  "And you two really shouldn't be wandering around here." "Uh?!" He turned in shock, not expecting someone to confront them.  And someone who was more or less the least likely candidate for a spy or anything of the sort. Just this girl wandering the wasteland. |

And immediately forgetting that they were sneaking around, Jack turned to give the newcomer a wave. "Hi! My name's Jack!" |

 "Ssssssh!" She hushed harshly, bringing the two of them to a more concealed area. "He might hear you!" "The dictator?" "In a sense...he has cameras triggered by motion sensors and other record-able devices hidden around here, thanks to his tech-man, Raider." |

"...who's that?" Jack blinked, tilting his head. "He's not a nice guy, is he?" |

"No, Spiel is a very, very bad man; especially not the kind to run into if you're alone...and none of his henchmen are any better." "...is Spiel really that bad?" Well, he took over the island single-handedly when it was still vulnerable, but Brick still speculated on this. "You two need to go back where you came from, now, before he spots you." He frowned. "...I can't...I'm looking for someone important to me." |

"And I'm tagging along!" Jack said with a small grin. "It's like an adventure." |

She sighed. "You...really must go to a safer place. I don't want you getting hurt out here..." "Well...you seem to know your way around here pretty well though. Why not help us?" She gave him a nervous look of her own. "I'm already heading somewhere else I need to go." |

"We could tag along!" Jack replied with a smile. "Better to stick together than to be on your own, right?" |

She grew even more uneasy about the suggestion Jack made. But looking around, she knew better than to just leave these two on their own. She didn't recognize them, and she knew for sure that if they had been on the island, then she would know about these two. That ruled them out as Spiel's lackeys. The lion seemed much too cheerful and the bull...sincere enough. "Listen...you can come with me, and I can take you to a safe place..." Then she took their hands to lead them away. "But you must promise me that you won't panic at what you're going to see." "Wuh?" That was a strange request, but given that this island was in war, there were probably a lot of sights that would warrant that. "...I promise." |

"Come on; you can't just say it like that. You have to mean it!" Jack remarked with a small huff, before he made sure to wrap his pinkie finger around the unicorn's pinkie. "Pinkie promise! This way, it's a promise for life." |

She halted in surprise at her pinkie being taken like that. "A... pinkie promise?" Really? For a kid as old as he was, he was really behind on his social skills. Blinking, she wrapped her pinkie around his. "I...pinkie promise," she said. Then she couldn't help but smile. This kind of attitude he had...he certainly couldn't be one of the children here on the island that lost so much in the war, and even if he was...she admired such a child-like happiness he had. Something she wished more of the islanders had. "Oh what? Do I gotta pinkie promise too Jack? |

"You betcha." To accentuate his point, Jack took Brick's other hand and wrapped his pinkie around his as well. "Pinkie promise. Now you do it." |

He chuckled. "Okay, okay. I pinkie promise too." And noticed that they had made a circle between the three of them held together by pinkies. "Right..." Finally, she released the two pinkies and continued to lead them down into what appeared to be some kind of entrance underground...  ...into a metro system with broken down train-cars, and everything haven rotten with rust due to time. Noticing the bodies on the ground, he gulped. "Erm..." She tried to cover Jack's eyes so he wouldn't see them as they stepped past them. |
