Ripper came to a patch where there was no celling, just the barely visible outlines of tall trees and wires strewn with green webbing and hundreds of eyes peering down from it. The hordika squeezed to the wall to pass it like countless times before, as the clicking from above started she ran off at a mad dash for the next corner, slipping and crashing around it as the sounds got louder. She passed the few corridors that also contained a few peering sets of eyes behind disfigured masks, but those belonged to something else that wasn't after her, just starring unsetteling like always.

The noise stopped after what felt like hours and she slowed down, passing more known and unknown faces down twisting corridors. The ghostly shadows started to speed up as so did Ripper in response. The once industrial like hallways turned to more of a rocky tunnel, still retaining it's shape. Every movement seemed to feel louder, catching the unwanted attention of what she was wanting to run away from as the smells turned sour. The reek made her nose useless despite not needing it, paranoia rising at every sound. Continuing to glance back at the following shadows, the hordika continued down a straightforward path, avoiding any offbranching tunnels and holes in the roof. Ripper knew the shadow didn't make noise but something else that lurked forever present in the back of her mind did. The paranoia finally tool hold of her heart-light as she sprinted down the twisting path at full speed.

The recklessness and fear attracted the clicking from earlier. Something dark with blotchy red streaks and sickly green eyes colder than ko-metru with a horrific shriek from a side tunnel lunged out at Ripper. She felt it's rotting breath and steely claws miss her as it brushed past her short mane. With a crash of it hitting the wall and a growl, the panic filled Ta-hordika didn't spare a look at the bigger being, continuing to run till it was lost.

Stopping at a corner Ripper did her best to squeeze into the wall and try to hide. The clicking was louder than the veins and wires in her head as it only got louder. Several large but flat beings scurried past her with chattering between them that she could mildly understand. The ghostly shadows with teal eyes past a few seconds later, unknown of the camouflaged hordika.

Once the noise had quieted Ripper slipped out and restrained herself from running again, continuing after them knowing well that they wouldn't be back here again without reason. She could still smell the rotting stench of it around. A few hisses and creaks distracting her, but she knew the nightmare was almost done, soon..

A sudden rumble caught her off guard as the green eyes beast appeared again from out a side tunnel, engulfing whatever was behind it in its mass. Ripper hissed at it, backing up quickly. It let out a snarl and launched itself at the small hordika, sending them both tumbling back down from where Ripper came from. Fur flew in chunks between the two before she managed to get untangled from it with a yelp. Ripper wasted no time in sprinting down the nearest hole to escape It's wrath. It gave an angry bellow and charged after.

Ripper could see that it was a dead end except for the hole above. Not taking a chance of getting caught with no way out, the hordika leaped, and with some scrambling escaped, continuing to run through the forrest. A thunderous roar came from behind her, only when it stopped she could hear the clicking, with it came victorious screeches. Ripper kept running, this was new was all she could think through the adrenaline as she sprinted for the edge of the trees, breath of the creatures behind her getting warmer.

She was just so.. close..!

.

Ripper stumbled and crashed at the sudden brightness. Jumping up with fear still running strong she discovered she was now in a field of tall dried grass surrounded by tall green trees and I'll of sunlight and endless blue sky. What or where she was had all but disappeared incuding the noises, now replaced with sounds of birds and water and chatting. The only obscurere in the field was a stream that cut through it and tall but smooth rock two beings sat on. Ripper approached the two, wary and curious, on was tall and gold and resembled a toa while the other looked like a white and gold matoran, neither of them had masks as they talked quietly away, facing away from her. Once reaching the rock she circled around, wondering how they haddent noticed her yet. They after a few more words stopped and looked at her, while the big ones face was crystal clear the small ones face was obscured, as if smudged.

.

The bigger of the two gave a nod of acknowledgment to the hordika before speaking. "You are safe now little one."

.

"Yea. Go on, enjoy it before you wake up!" The matoran spoke up after with a smile, waving her to go off and do whatever. Ripper starred at them in confusion and wonder. She started to ask them 'who were they?' Or how she got here but shut her mouth and obliged, bounding off through the field, soaking up the sun rays and going off to explore the stream.

.

"Why did you do that for?" The golden being asked once Ripper was out of earshot.

"She doesn't need to know, if she ever does remember them good for her I guess." The matoran replied back with a shrug, "What the mind forgets, the body remembers."
