Macey ran and ran deeper into the woods, following barely visible, old tracks that definitely belonged to the Fortrex. She felt like..like- 

"Macey?" Her thoughts were interrupted small voice, unsure, but familiar. "Macey is that you?" She spun around to see Robin, big blue eyes and all leaning outside the Fortrex.

"Robin!?" Macey exclaimed as her eyes landed on the young mechanic before her. "Where have you been?"

Robin ran forward and pulled on Macey's arm. "Come on. We'll talk inside." 

Macey allowed her green eyes to wonder as Robin pulled her down the halls of the Fortrex...some how it felt different. More tight, locked up.., serious almost. The walls had been painted warning red and black curtains hung from every window. The lights were dim with a few candles here and there, pictures of the Nexo Knights and where they could be were linked by a black string on almost every bulletin board she saw, weapons hung from walls, and there were several strong locks on every single door.

"What happened here?" Macey asked as the passed by a barred up window. "When did the Fortrex become so...  serious?"

"As soon as zombies were spotted." Robin explained, releasing her wrist. "Clay went practically crazy trying to find out how to return them back to normal and trying to find you guys. I think seeing you might bring him back down to earth." That's when Macey and Clay ran into each other in the hall.
