----------Azandra's POV---------
"We're back!!" I cheer happily, walking through the main room.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Kristian questions, looking up from where she was sitting.

I happily nod, then walk over to the small make-shift kitchen in the corner of the large building, grabbing a small cup and pouring both the vile that Dipper found and the vile that I found into the cup, then walk over to the others to help with preparations for tomorrow.

"So, anything new?" I ask

"Well we got these." Tristan says, showing me a pile of books.

"And these are... What?" I ask, flipping through one of the books.

"Mason found them in Azandra's bag." Corrine answers. "We're not sure what they are."

"Hmm... Well I'm sure they'll be useful tomorrow." I smile.

Both Corrine and Tristan happily nod. "Right!"

------the next day------

"That should be enough to open the portal.." I think out loud, picking up the cup of dragons blood, then setting it down again

"Do you even know where your going?" Jason asks sarcastically, suddenly behind me.

"Ahh!" I yell, quickly turning around. "We really need to put a bell on you." I narrow my eyes, suspicious, then answer his question. "If I focus enough on Bill, William and Will then the portal will just open there." I glare at him. "I read it in a book." I turn around again and pick up the cup, walking past Jason.

"Alright- let's go."

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask you... What are you planning on doing with that..?" Dipper questions, pointing to the cup of dragons blood in my hand.

I grimace. "I have to drink it."

Dipper looks at the cup uneasily

"What's so bad about drinking it? I mean its not like its blood or anything." Mabel says, laughing.

I shake my head. "Right." I laugh nervously, pretending that it wasn't as bad as it truly was.
"Everyone ready?" I ask, looking around the room.

Everyone nods, Tristan carrying a small device that would allow her to communicate with the team that would be staying here.

I take a deep breath and choke down the dragons blood, barely able to swallow it.

I focus on Bill, Will, and William and a portal slowly starts to open in front of me.

"Go, I'll hold it open!" I say, struggling to keep the portal stable.

Evie, Corrine, Mason, Tristan, MC, Psychic, Dogost, and the twins all quickly file into the portal.

"Good luck." I say, looking back at Alexia, Mary, Opal, Janaela, Natalie, and Kristian.

"Right back at you." Opal says.

I smile slightly and leap through the portal, closing it behind me.

"Alright- start reading those books people, we need to find something they can use." Alexia states. "And remember- we have to keep Azandra from figuring out what's going on."

--------------------

"Ohh no not this place again." I sigh in frustration once I'm on the other side of the portal.

The portal opened up to the same pure gold room I had stayed in when Bill basically kidnapped me and brought me back "home"

"You know where this is?" Dogost questioned, looking at me curiously.

"It's exactly where I got held hostage for a while." I explain, glancing around at the room, annoyed.

"This is the place?" Dipper asks, looking around.

I nod.

"So, where are they?" Mason questions, looking around the room suspiciously.

"That's a good question.." My voice trails off, replaced with a nervous laugh

"What?!" Everyone shrieks at once.

"Shh! Keep your voices down- Bill isn't exactly in charge of this place anymore." I whisper.

MC sighs, then looks as if she's got an idea. "Well they have to be around here somewhere, right?"

"Yeah, I mean you said that if you focused you could lock on their location." Tristan points out

"Yeah, theoretically they should be somewhere in this place... Probably somewhere nearby."I smile.

"So then let's go!!" Corrine exclaims, excited.

"Alright alright." I laugh. "Just keep your voice down."

She nods and we all slowly make our way over to the door.

"anything yet?" Opal asks curiously, peeking her head over Mary's shoulder.

"No not yet." Mary sighs.

"These books Mason found are all in riddles and codes." Janaela says, flipping trough a few pages of one of the books.

"They made it through the portal!" Kristian cheers, sitting on one of the many chairs in the room, sitting next to Natalie, both of them sitting next to a medium sized radio-like communication device on a table in between them, a tv sat on the same table next to the device, displaying nothing but static.

Natalie presses a button on the side of the device and the tv flashed a bright white, once the flash faded there was a maze-like object on the screen. Small red dots appearing with in the boundaries and a large blue dot appearing in one of the boundaries.

"Is that what that's supposed to do?" Natalie asks, looking around at the others

Everyone shrugs

"It looks like a map to me.. I'm just not very sure its accurate." Kristian says, then turns on the radio, saying a few things into it, confirming that the map on the screen matched the building the others were in.

"So?" Opal asks. "What did she say?"

"Yep, it does- word for word." Kristian states. "Tristan looked out of the room they're in and confirmed the walls and hallways match. If I would have to guess- I'd say they were the blue dot."

"So then... what are the little red dots?" Alexia asks.

"I don't know but their probably not good.." Opal states, pointing to a medium size red dot halfway across the building.

------ Tristan's POV-------

"A map?" I ask, talking to Kristian on the radio

"We think so, but we're not exactly sure." She answers

"How about I take a look around?" I suggest

"Alright." She says

I pop my head out of the door. "There's a hallway in front of the door that stretches for a long time, with a few hallways branching off now and then." I explain.

"Hmm... That matches! So this IS a map."

I smile then turn to the group I'm with. "The others found a way to make a map- using that weird device Azandra had."

"That's great!" Mabel cheers happily.

Kristian says something else and I look into the hallway again, vainly seeing two figures walk into a different hallway. "Yeah.. There are people walking around, Why?"

"Did you just see two people pass into a different hallway a few seconds ago?"

"Yeah..? Again, why?"

"Their dots are in red.. Why on earth are they in a different color..?" She asks, more to herself.

I shrug and turn back to the others. "They say there are a lot of red dots- supposedly representing people around and we should be careful."

Everyone nods.

"Alright- if I were to guess I'd say that their on the second level, or the basement... If there is a basement." Amanda says.

"You don't know?!" Mason asks, looking at her.

"I never went past the second level.." Amanda admits.

"you mean there are multiple levels of this thing?" Dipper asks

"Yeah. I'm not exactly sure how many.. But I remember William saying '3 floors' a lot." Amanda says.

"So your guessing?" MC asks, even though she new the answer.

"Basically, yes."

"Let's hope your right." Psychic says, looking toward the door.

Amanda nods. "Time to go." She says, starting to walk toward the door.
