Six and amy were holding to my back as I was in jetray form, I flew to the scaffolding and traversed the area, flying over gaps and avoiding wrong paths using six's lighter and my omnitrix hourglass to light the way.

Eventually, we arrived at the door that led to the next area, and was predictably locked.

I put six in the ground as the omnitrix time-out and I was detransformed back to human.

Six looked up and down at the locked gate with her signature neutral expression, lighter in hand, probably trying to find a way to open it while amy rode on my back and shoulders.

Six: "Hmm,...there must be a switch
around here to open this door"

BEN(looking around): "Maybe...we should try to look over there"
I said, pointing to a path that led into the other direction

Without changing her facial
expression, she nodded and we headed down the wooden plank path, with amy still riding my back while warning us whenever we were about to walk off the edge.

Eventually, we reached the end of the path and found a lever.

BEN: "Okay, let's do this" I said,
warming up my hands as six and I grabbed the lever and cranked it

Amy: "guys look!!"

Six: "Huh?" six said not understanding what amy said

But when we look up, we noticed light pouring into the room.

Turning our heads while holding the
lever, all three of us saw that the door
was open.

The light was beautiful in contrast to the consuming darkness.

Amy: "We better hurry, I think the door'll close if we wait too long"

BEN: "Ready..."I said as me and Six prepared to take off running "..GO!"

With that, we took off to the door, which began closing instantly after we let go six and I leaped over the gap in our path, and slid under the door right as it closed.

I panted slightly, with amy in the other side in the floor panting, until I heard footsteps near me.

Six: "Come on, Ben *pant*", I looked up to see six had already gotten up and was holding her hand out to me, Let's get going" she finished

BEN: "*chuckle*, alright" I said, chuckling as I took her hand and stood up, while walking to the hole
_________________________________________

Crawling through the hole and heading into the next area, the three of us landed on some crate and began to move out.

As we were walking, I heard a disturbing scraping sound from above us.

BEN: "The fuck was that?" I said quietly as we turned our heads, "what in alienX is that"

And I spotted a giant-headed, and long-armed monster, pulling a crate on a platform far away from us.

I couldn't make out much of him, but I heard Six say.

Six: "..The Janitor" six said quietly and fearfully, and Amy hiding behind me in fear

BEN: "so anyone gonna tell me, how's the janitor?"

Amy popped her head from behind me.

Amy: "T-the janitor is the one who patrol The Maw searching for
intruders, and he is blind, and relies on his hands, ears, and nose to figure out where kids are hiding, and he is in charge of caring for the children, which are kept as prisoners in The Maw"

As the Janitor trudged along and out of sight, we then continued on again and reached the wall, spotting a large rope made of mattress covers and other various cloths tied together and trailing from a window with prison bars.

Six climbed first and I climbed after her, with amy riding on my back and shoulders.

I looked from side to side to make sure no one spotted us before asking a question.

BEN: "Hey quick question, how many pieces of cloth do you think-?" I would've continued from there, but at that moment I made the mistake of looking directly up

Now, it wouldn't have been so bad..if it weren't for the fact that I accidentally looked up into six's raincoat.

BEN(blush): "Agh, crap!" I almost cursed aloud as I quickly looked away, my face bright as a tomato.

Luckily, I couldn't see anything thanks to the darkness.

Six: "Are you okay, Ben? What
happened?" I heard six say

Thank goodness she didn't notice me doing that!

BEN: "Uh...nothing..." I said.

Amy: "you such a pervert Ben" Amy said quietly

I looked over my shoulder to see Amy
still on my shoulders.

BEN: "Shut up" I whispered to her as we kept climbing
_________________________________________

When we reached the top and entered the room, six lit the nearby lamp while I pushed open the door leading to the next room.

As I took in the surrounding area, I
heard six and amy enter right next to
me.

Six: "Ben", six Inudged my arm, "watch out That gate's electrified"

She said while pointing to the prison gate next to the giant sink counter.

Amy: "hey Ben, do you like have... I don't know like some alien that can absorb electricity" said hoping for a yes

BEN(smirk): "So you need an alien who can channel energy?, I think I know just the guy, now get back while I feed in some electricity"

I activated the omnitrix and selected an alien icon, then slammed down the core, and in a flash of green light I was

BEN(feedback): " Feedback!!, *smirk* man do I feel hungry"

Six: "yeah me too"

BEN(feedback): "I was joking" I said with a blank face

Six: "oh"

I crossed my arms, because Iook cool, then I put my aantennaes infront of the gate.

Then my plug-like conductors on my antennaes started sucking the electricity dry from the gate.

I then channeled the energy through my hands, blasting the energy at the gate destroying it.

BEN(feedback): "let's keep going"
_________________________________________

Walking to the end of the hallway filled with giant doors, we eventually arrived at an incredibly dark room.

I thought I could make out several dark silhouettes, but I wasn't sure.

To see, Six lit up her lighter while I was with the omnitrix green light.

In the light, six seemed to have an apprehensive look, darting her head around as if trying to find something.

I decided to walk ahead of them, literally not seeing the problem.

BEN: "Eh? What's wrong Six?" I asked as I walked ahead of them, not catching six's warning look

Six:  "I don't think there's anything here--"

*SHREEEN!*

BEN: "GAH!"

I screamed out loud as a giant light
suddenly poured from a robotic Eye on the wall, jumpscaring me. However, what truly scared me was that, as soon as the light hit me, I suddenly felt all of my bones and muscles begin to stiffen up and harden, as if turning to stone, sending a strange mixture of numbness and extreme pain coursing through my entire body.

BEN: "G-GAGK!" I choked out, finding it harderand harder to even move with each passing second.

Suddenly, I saw that the silhouettes I saw were actually stone children in the bright ight.

Oh, shit what kinda of sorcerer is this,
then I heard six and amy screaming out to me in terror.

Six: "BEN!!"

Amy: "try using your watch"

But sadly I wasn't able to move a muscle, right when I started to black out, I heard the omnitrix sound which  made six and amy flinch from the sudden voice.

"Omnitrix user in danger, a
transformation is required"

I then transformed into an alien.

BEN(Terraspin): "Terraspin!!, the fail safe came in handy again"

I then walked to six and amy

Amy: "you need to be careful, you could've died there"

Six: "Are you okay, ben!?" Six half-asked and half-yelled at me,

I couldn't see her eyes, but I could tell  she had a worried frown on her face.

BEN(Terraspin): "yeah I'm alright"

Then, several seconds afterwards, she punched me in the side.

*THUD!*

Six: "Ow!" she yelled as her fist met
my shell

BEN(terraspin) "what was that for?"

Six: "You nearly died! Don't you think you should've checked for danger first!?, don't scare me like that!" She practically chastised me

Amy: "She's right Ben, what if your watch wasn't charged and you weren't able to use it" alAmy added in the agreement, her hands balled into fists on her hips

She has a point there not gonna lie.

BEN(terraspin): "*sigh* okay, I'm sorry for doing that," I conceded, " I promise I'll be more careful from here on out"

However, before I could say more, I felt a pair of arms wrap around me.

Six: "You promise?" I heard six say, her head on my shoulder as she hugged me close

I couldn't see her eyes due to the lack of lighting, I could see two tiny trails of tears falling from under her bangs.

Amy also approached us, hugging my leg tightly as if afraid I would vanish if she did otherwise.

Feeling my frustrations fly out the door at their reactions, I reached out and gently grabbed six's shoulders with one fin and genthly petted Amy cone hat, making them look directly at me.

BEN(terraspin): "I promise you, right here and now, that all three of us, we will get out of this hell together" I promised the both of them

Amy had a blush and a joyful smile in her face, and while I couldn't make out six's eyes, I quite clearly saw the relieved smile on her face as she calmed down.

Six"...Thanks" she said Grinning softly, I then broke the hug, six and amy following suit

BEN(terraspin): "look, I have a plan,  but it's quite risky"

They both nodded so I continued talking.

BEN(terraspin): "in my terraspin form I'm immune to magic, so that stone magic doesn't effect me", they had a surprised look in there faces, "you two will hide behind me while I walk infront of the eyes light so you don't turn into stone statues"

Amy: "but what if you time-out" amy said worried

BEN(terraspin): "that's why we are gonna do it fast"

They agreed, so we put the plan to action.
