As Gnihzur and Ultimillian made their way through the underground tunnel, they could feel the tension rising within them for they were getting closer to their destination.
"The laboratory is this way." Ulti steered them through another underground passage onto the right path which led to where the captives were being held.
Along the way, they came across some miners and made sure to not draw any attention to themselves. Due to their smaller framework when compared to the giant Spikelees, avoiding detection was easy just as long as they didn't enter the extrasensory perception range of the Spikelees' antennas.
"We're here."
Finally, the 2 crows emerged into a large, open area. What they saw took their breath away. The Spikelees had set up a sophisticated laboratory in the underground grime, filled with all manner of strange and exotic equipment. The captives, a group of poor, sickly-looking birds, were being held in small, cramped cages on the far side of the room.
