...35 minutes later...

"Is this the spot?" Robin asks, concerned.

Loki looks up from the datapad towards the building.

"Yes," Loki said.

Tara notices Loki had somehow been driving while reading a datapad with images. Images that are from her file. The human has been reading my file, Tara thought in anger. Tara knows what is on her file and what is not as she has looked it over for herself. Loki takes his arms out of the rounded holes letting the sled park in it's location.

"Looks so dark in there," Foster remarks.

"We got light," Foreman said, knocking on the side of the gun.

The gun emits a light out of a flashlight item attached below across from the handle.

"So, Mr Crane," Paul said. "How much do these batteries weigh?"

"Enough for two men to lift them," Loki said.

The building is dark.

Well, what does the term 'dark' mean for a abandoned building?

There is no lights beaming on, the doors are closed, scratch marks are seen decorating the once prominent walls, shovels are left discarded to the side,closed suitcases are left near to the door,and the knob is loosely hanging on in the hole terribly askewed to the metal door. The appearance of the building sends chills down Janet's back. The cadets can sense the moth beasts are lurking in the darkness eying at their rather expensive ride. The word 'dark' for a abandoned building defines a sense of suspense, fear, and creepiness. It gives the classic feel to scary movies. The metal to the sides of the building are peeling off revealing old wooden boards.

"It looks scary to me," Janet said.

"This is better than the houses in paranormal movies," Clark said. "I give it a 10!"

"No time to rate how intimating how empty a building is," Paul said, seeing the shapes of the moth beasts hiding behind boulders in a pack. "We only have time to determine who should go in."

"I vote to go in," Xackery said.

"So do I," Megan said.

"Me too," Loki said.

"...And how many batteries do we need?" Paul asks.

"Two," Loki said. "They last up until the last stop. Enough time to get legitimate batteries."

"Xackery, you go with Mr Crane," Paul said. "Megan, you will with Robin to get the batteries."

"Right....'Boss'," Xackery said.

...10 minutes later...

...In the building...

The idea was logical at the time to wear helmets with lights all over them entering the building. Their boots crunch on the skeletons of previous explorers. The sounds of bones breaking disturbs Megan. Megan puts her left hand on the wall leaning forwards and puts her right hand on her knee. Megan clears her throat while trembling feeling sick to her stomach. Robin puts a firm hand on her shoulder.

"You don't have to do this," Robin said.

"I have to serve my planet," Megan said, straightening herself. "Of course I do."

Robin takes his hand off Megan's shoulder.

"At least I am trying to help," Robin said.

They are speaking in low voices going down the creepy hall. You can tell something is on Loki's mind as he is being silent. Which is kind of terrifying knowing Loki as the practical trickster. Loki did not seem bothered by the sound of bones crunching under his boots. Xackery is ahead of Loki using a flashlight as his guide to check on the signs.

"Feel like I am going to puke," Megan said.

"I brought a paper bag," Robin said.

"Don't tell me," Xackery said, rolling an eye. Xackery aims the flash light up at the nearby wall. "Part of your camping days."

"No," Robin said. "Simon had flight sickness on the way to the Cadential-Prise."

"And you randomly got paper bags?" Megan asks.

"No," Robin said. "I tucked them into my boots."

"Let me guess; you have twenty," Megan guesses.

"I have thirty-two," Robin said. "In case anyone else gets sick."

The sound of bones breaking made everyone freeze. The sound of bones breaking is different from crunching as the bone is either being sliced in half or stabbed through. The unique high pitch bat like shrieks set fear into the standing individuals.

"How far are we from the battery room?" Robin asks.

"There is two halls leading to it," Xackery said.

"I and Megan will take the one to the left," Robin said. "And you two take the one to the right."

"Let's go," Xackery said.

The sound of bones being stabbed through became incredibly imminent indicating the moth beasts are coming closer. The two groups flee into two different halls. Even with the light helmets on they can be knocked off their heads. Loki looks over his shoulder to see one of those huge beasts that Foreman had described to Foster inches away. Just mere inches. For a immortal criminal not able to be hurt by a moth beast this seems to say otherwise about that.

Loki turns his head away towards the direction he is running but only speeding faster. Door,door,door, Loki thought. The door is likewise open.So Loki leaps landing in the battery room on his face. Loki hears the door slamming behind and a bang shortly there after. Loki can hear Xackery's laughter.

"You screamed like a little girl!" Xackery said, shaking his head. "That is the most hilarious scream I ever heard."

Loki gets up dusting himself off.

"I did no such thing," Loki denies.

"Keep denying it," Xackery said, turning towards a field of shelves with large rounded batteries similar to the ones put in a remote back in the 2000's era on Earth. "And there will be more people who will say the same thing."

Loki frowns.

"Xackery," Loki said. "What really happened to Simon?"

"Simon had to relieve himself," Xackery lied. "End of story," He shifts to the side facing Loki. "You know these big guys do not look so heavy."

Loki approaches Xackery.

"I read your file," Loki said.

Xackery turns his head towards Loki.

"You can't do that," Xackery said.

"I am Loki," Loki said, letting own his disguise. "I can do anything."

"Who again?" Xackery asks, blinking.

"Loki of Asgard," Loki said.

Xackery's  reaction changes to a frown.

"Oh, those stubborn Asgardian fellows," Xackery said. "And what are you a god of? God of screams?"

"No," Loki said. "Mischief."

"Nooo," Xackery said. "That is Jules thing."

"Jules of....What?" Loki asks.

"Jules Flyndottir," Xackery said, squinting at Loki. "Oh, now I know, you were...." Xackery bit his lip. "You are not from this universe." Loki's glare is more than 'I hate you and I want you to tell me what I am' kind of reaction. "I can't say."

"Then tell me," Loki said. "Who am I to you?"

Xackery rubs the back of his head, shyly.

"This is kind of awkward,"

"Not really,"

"Really, it is,"

"Is not,"

"Well...Ever heard of the Pickax of Souls?"

"No,"

"Clarise Stottlehammer?"

"No clue who that is,"

"Demigod capable of making doubles?"

"No,"

"God of spikes?"

"No,"

Xackery sighs, relieved.

"Phew," Xackery said. "Do you know any women being able to make spikes?"

"No," Loki said. "I know none able to do that."

"Know any woman with a strange name starting with a 'K'?" Xackery asks.

"No," Loki said. "I do not."

"Okay," Xackery said. "My kind, many billions ago,originated off a beautiful planet once called a realm. They had ears with sharp tips and a face clear of any marks. There was 100 of them, in total, aboard a ship constructed off many metals."

"To the point, mortal," Loki said. "Odin wouldn't allow Light Elves to go off aboard a ship with little to nothing."

"But you did," Xackery said. "And they didn't just leave with nothing. They had weapons."

Loki frowns.

"I wouldn't do such thing," Loki said.

"Listen pal," Xackery said. "Your counterpart is the reason why we are all here and you are dead. Really dead."

"I don't believe you," Loki said.

"You refuse to believe you were a king," Xackery has a short laugh. Loki's face is 'Wait, are you mad?' in terms of facial expressions. "That is amusing coming from the god of lies and mischief! Well, it does make sense to be a god of lies when you do mischief."

"And if I were to believe you; then how come you forgot me?" Loki asks.

"It has been a long time since I had history class," Xackery said. "You are in the 5th chapter."

"5th?" Loki asks.

"Yes, the 5th," Xackery said.

"If I was so important then why am I in the 5th chapter?" Loki asks.

"Evolution, the climate change, society changing through the decades," Xackery lists.

Loki observes Xackery.

"You don't look Elf," Loki said. "And you have a entirely different name."

"That we do," Xackery said. "Light Elves intermixed with another race being animal like. On New Years day in 5011, Fleto was established and instead of celebration it wasn't that...Bright."

"Why?" Loki asks.

"You died," Xackery said. "On the first day of every year, we celebrate our planet's birthdate and the death of a guy who frankly made everyone go make their own civilization."

"And apparently you don't celebrate it," Loki said.

"Nor watch TV," Xackery said. Then Xackery's face changes. "Oh right, you are a lie detector. You tell me how Simon ended up in the dark."

"You and Simon had a disagreement," Loki said. "And then you threw him into the darkness unarmed."

"It is his own fault," Xackery said.

Loki narrows his eyes.

"Killing everyone who insults you will earn a lot of enemies," Loki said.

"My family's honor is something I hold dear," Xackery said. "I suppose you know how that feels to have someone insult your bloodline."

Loki makes his disguise come back up.

"Try lifting that battery on your own, murderer," Loki said, turning away.

"Hey!" Xackery said. "You volunteered to help—"

"I wanted to hear the truth," Loki interjects. Loki heads towards the door. "I don't help pathetic mortals like you."

"Don't open that door," Xackery said, warningly.

Loki comes to a stop, two feet from the door, shaking his head.

"I am a god," Loki said. "And you are not."
