"Woah! That's a big fish you caught!"
"Hahahaha! I'm good at this already!"
"Sure you are! Come here!"

"Hey Sparky! Spark! Wake up!" shouted Scar while shaking Sparky up from his deep slumber. Slowly, Sparky opens his eyes as he sat up. He rubbed his eyes with his right hand to clear the blurry vision of his. Scar stood back up and walked around the room.
Sparky turned and looked around in confusion. Sparky and Scar was in a room that had nothing but a door. The room was dark with only one dim light which allowed them to see only a short distance as everything was too dark beyond that. Water was leaking from the ceiling and the air was a little chilly.
There was ice forming in the corners of the room and mild fog in the room. Scar took a look at the ice and walked away. "No weapons or anything that we can use to defend ourselves huh...." muttered Scar to himself.
"Hey.. isn't it a little too cold here?" asked Sparky as he began to shiver. Scar nodded his head and replied, "Yeah. If we don't find a way out, we could be frozen to death any sooner." "Plus, did you notice that our bracelet is gone?" he continued.
Sparky raised his left hand up and shouted, "AHHHH! YOU'RE RIGHT!" "This means that we aren't able to use our powers for now so we have to find a way out of this place and notify Ariton and the others," said Scar as he walked towards the door.
The door was rather beaten up. It was slightly crooked and the hinges was out of place. The screws on it was loose. Though the door was made out of metal, it was rather rusted, seemingly very brittle.
He pushed the door gently and it fell down instantly with a loud crash towards the ground. He turned towards Sparky. "So partner? This might be the hardest mission for us now as we may come across any monsters and we would have to face them without our powers and weapons. Ya ready?" asked Scar with a cheeky smile on his face. Sparky took a huge breath and released it. "Bring it on!" said Sparky before running towards the door.

Veronica walked up and down the hallway, restless. "They are suppose to be back an hour ago!" said Veronica. Mae looked at Veronica. She began to have a bad feeling about their disappearance. Perhaps it is a premonition that something is gonna happen?
She looked at the watch of hers and went towards the lobby. She sat and looked into the monitor before starting to press the keyboard. Few seconds later, she starts to become even more restless. Seeing Veronica so worked up, Mae, who sat at the lobby couch, looked at her in wonder.
"Ariton! Ariton come here!" shouted Veronica as she called Ariton through the communication system on the bracelet. "What's wrong? Why are u looking so worried?" asked Ariton as he answered the call. "Sparky and Scar's bracelet signals are gone! This meant that the bracelet has been removed from their possession and that they might be in trouble!" mentioned Veronica.
"Great... Where would they be now. Supposedly, they should be back an hour ago. I thought they may have been taking a detour but I guess I was wrong." said Ariton. " I'll head there and look for them now. Wait for my news and keep an eye on the signals. Give me a few seconds as I finish up my work here." he continued. Ariton ended the call.
"Mae, could you head over to Azalia Outskirts right now? The village where they were." asked Veronica. "I have to keep my eyes on the signals so I wouldn't be able to go look for them. Will you take my place?" she continued. Mae looked at Veronica's anxious eyes and agreed. She ran towards the floating platform and went over to where she was told to.
*Light Flashes*
As soon as Mae got to the village, Ariton was already there. "Ah Mae! Here!" called Ariton from afar. Mae ran towards Ariton. Both of them took a tour around the village. "Rather than a village, this place is deserted and burnt..." said Ariton as he looked around.
Everything was burnt to crisp. Ariton and Mae walked around to see if there were any clues about Sparky and Scar. As Mae walked further into the village, she noticed a piece of paper on the ground. She picked up the slightly dirty paper and ran over to Ariton to hand it to him.
"Blizzard Hills ...." said Ariton as he read out what was on the paper. The other half of the sentence was smudge out so he was unable to continue. "Blizzard Hills..? Is there such a place in Exertria?" questioned Ariton. Instantly, he dialled back to the HQ to inform Veronica about Mae's discovery.
"Blizzard Hills? I never heard of such place too. Give me a minute, let me search it up." said Veronica as she continued to spam her keyboard and mouse. On the other hand, Mae climbed up a nearby tree to see if she could see anything. She looked around. "Ari... snow.." said Mae as she pointed towards the North-West direction.
Ariton was stunned for a moment. "Snow? It really is snow!" said Ariton as he went to where Mae was. "Do you think there is where that 'Blizzard Hills' place is?" asked Ariton to Mae. Mae nodded her head in confidence.
"Veronica! North-West of where we are, there is snow. Could you check that location?" said Ariton. "Sure..... and There it is!" replied Veronica. "Though this place isn't registered under any name, there's no mistake as it is the only place which snows during this season!" she continued.
"Now that it's confirmed, Let's go Mae!" said Ariton as both of them ran towards the North-West direction.
"Be careful and report to me as soon as you find any clues about them. Also, stay aware as we aren't capable of sending help there since that place isn't accessible by the floating platform," mentioned Veronica before cutting off the call.
"Scar. Sparky. Stay safe, we are coming!" uttered Ariton in his mind.
