"Jetleap is already down there. We need to hurry and get down there before he sends someone up here. Whose going to climb?" Cronin asked. He peeked down the crater and noticed that the Dark Lord and the others were still talking. By the look on their faces, it seemed as if they were discussing something. Suddenly Zyla's antenna twitched and she looked up. Right at him.

He ducked away as fast as he could. Akurle must have been peeking down too, and ducked away the same time he had. "Who was that? The big wasp, I mean."

"That's Zyla, queen of the wasps. She isn't as bad as the Dark Lord, but she will still kill you on sight. Well, she'll make her minions kill you on sight. Even if you were to attack her, the other wasps would jump in the way and let her sneak off. They are incredibly loyal to her, in an annoying kind of way."

"Oh." Akurle leaned over the edge again and peered down. Cronin did the same. He couldn't see Tier, the purple deer, Zyla, or the Dark Lord this time. A big chunk of rock was in the way.

"Darn it, now I can't see them." He muttered. A bunch of smoke drifted in his face, causing him to start coughing uncontrollably. When the smoke cleared, he saw that several guards were staring up at him. Akurle pulled him away. She snarled.

"Thanks a lot! Now they know that we're here!"

"Oops." He backed away from the edge of the crater. "Alright, I can take Buttons and one more. Now, whose gonna climb and whose gonna ride down? Quickly, it's now or never!"
