We went back the way we came to the split where we made the left. When we came to the split, we went straight and continued moving. As we were following the cave, the cave suddenly turned to the left. We turned left and continued until the cave suddenly turned to the left again. We turned left again and continued until the cave suddenly turned to the right. After we turned right, we suddenly we saw stone stairs going up. We went up the stairs into another cave. After we went up the stairs, we continued to follow the cave and after a while of walking, the cave suddenly turned to the left. We turned left and continued until the cave suddenly turned to the left again. After we turned left, we suddenly saw more stone stairs going up. We went up the stone stairs into another cave and saw daylight at the end of the cave. Seeing the daylight, we followed the cave towards the daylight and came out into what appeared to be a small valley or glen. After we came out into the light, we turned off our Flashlights. In the middle of the small valley or glen appeared to be a fortress of some sort. "This could be where the Evil Air is coming from", I said. "Let's check it out", Monique Mouse said. We left the cave and walked over towards the fortress. When we got to the fortress, we started to look for a way in.
       After we walked around it a bit, we found a doorway on the south side of it and entered into it. Inside it appeared to be a large room that looked like it covered the whole first level of the fortress. Looking around the room, we saw a Green Steel Door to the right. Since I didn't have the key, I turned and looked straight ahead to the left, and saw stairs going up through a doorway. Seeing the stairs, we headed over to them. Then, we went through the doorway and went up the stairs. We climbed them until they stopped at another doorway leading out to the second floor. After we walked out into the second floor, we noticed that the room was a lot smaller than the first floor and saw a doorway straight ahead. We went through the doorway and came into a smaller room. Suddenly, we saw a second doorway to our left and we went through it. After going through the second doorway, we found ourselves in a larger room. Looking around the room, we saw a small Treasure Chest straight ahead. Suddenly, we were surprised by Six Imps that were charging at us. Seeing the Six Imps, we dodged and took out the equipment we bought while Monique Mouse backed out into the other room to avoid getting hit. Buster Bunny and Plucky Duck again attacked first with their Wooden Clubs and defeated two Imps leaving us with four more Imps to go.
       After Buster Bunny and Plucky Duck defeated two Imps, I attacked with my Wooden Sword and defeated another two Imps leaving us with two more Imps. After I defeated two more Imps, Jaq Mouse attacked with his Wooden Spear. Swinging his Wooden Spear, Jaq Mouse knocked out another Imp. Suddenly, the last Imp got map and charged at Furrball Cat and knocked him over on the floor. Seeing Furrball Cat get hit by an Imp, Erik Mouse came over and hit it with his Wooden Bat and it was defeated. "Are you okay?", Erik Mouse asked Furrball Cat. "Yes, I think so", Furrball Cat responded. Furrball Cat got up and we put our equipment away since all the Imps were defeated. Then, Monique Mouse came back into the room and rejoined us. We went over to the Treasure Chest saw the symbols '250 GC' carved on the front of it. The Treasure Chest was also the same size as the Treasure Chest we found in Ivan Bunny's Secret Place. Seeing this, we found that the Treasure Chest contained 250 Gold Coins. I emptied the Treasure Chest into the Bag and saw that we now have 710 Gold Coins. After I emptied the Treasure Chest, we looked to the left and saw another doorway. Then, we went over to the doorway and went through it. After we went through the doorway, we saw another doorway with stairs going up. Seeing the stairs going up, we went over to them. Then, we went through the doorway and went up the stairs. We climbed them until they stopped at another doorway leading out to the third floor. After we walked out into the third floor, we noticed that the room was a little bigger than the one we emerged into when we first came to the second floor. Then, we walked to the other end of the room and saw a doorway to the left. We went through the doorway and saw a Black Steel Door straight ahead. Suddenly, we heard a voice that yelled, "HELP!!". "I think someone needs our help. It sounded like it came from behind the Black Steel Door.", I said. We walked over to the Black Steel Door and when I looked through the barred window of the Black Steel Door, I saw a mouse plushie that was almost three foot tall and was a little darker brown than Erik Mouse. He was wearing a green shirt and light blue pants. I went to try to open the door to get him out, but it was locked.
       Since I didn't have the key, I turned to the left and saw another Black Steel Door on the same wall, but further down. Then, we went over to the other Black Steel Door and I looked through the bars. Looking through the bars of the door, I saw that the room was empty. Seeing that the room was empty, I turned and saw a doorway to our left. After seeing the doorway, we walked over to the doorway and went through it. After we went through the doorway, we saw another doorway straight ahead with stairs going up. Seeing the stairs, we went over to them. Then, we went through the doorway and went up the stairs. We climbed them until they stopped at another doorway leading out to the fourth floor. After we walked out into the fourth floor, we noticed that the room was as half as big as the first floor. We looked around the room and saw a doorway on the wall to our left. Seeing the doorway, we walked over to it. After we walked through it, we entered into some sort of lair. Suddenly, an Imp that was way larger than the other Imps we fought stepped into view and growled, "Why have you come here?". "We came here to find out where the evil air is coming from and to putting a stop to it", I replied. "It is I who brought the evil air here when I opened the gateway to here from the Dark Fantasy World. The gateway is still open and is above here. I have left it opened to bring Imps into this world, the Fantasy World.", the Large Imp growled. "Why are you doing this, the Imps are going to terrorize Rodentia Village and the Evil Air from the Dark Fantasy World has made a villager sick?".
       Suddenly, the Large Imp growled angrily, "I DON'T CARE!! The one you call Sir. David Mouse destroyed Nylock the Wizard who helped me come into this world. I am going to make him pay by destroying Rodentia Village!". "Well, we won't let you destroy Rodentia Village", I responded. Suddenly, the Large Imp started to attack and we pulled out the equipment we bought. Seeing this, Monique Mouse took off into the other room quickly to avoid getting hit while we attacked the Large Imp. Buster Bunny and Plucky Duck attacked with their Wooden Clubs, while I attacked with my Wooden Sword. Then, the other characters started to attack with their equipment. After a while of attacking, the Large Imp suddenly said, "I am getting out of here". The Large Imp suddenly dropped a Green Key and a Black Key. Then, it went through a doorway to our left that had stairs going up and went up the stairs. Looking at the stairs, we saw daylight shining down on them. We put away our equipment and I went over and picked up the Green Key and Black Key. After I picked up the keys, I said, "We now can go free that poor mouse". "Yes, but after we stop the Large Imp", said Jaq Mouse. We went to the doorway that had stairs going up. When we got to the doorway, we went through it and up the stairs. We climbed the stairs until we came out on top of the fortress.
       On top of the fortress, we saw what appeared to be a gateway to another world. Suddenly, we saw the Large Imp jump into it and disappeared. Looking around the gateway, I saw something that appeared to be a generator generating energy to the gateway. Seeing the generator, Buster Bunny said, "Lets smash it and hope that causes the gateway to close". We went over and Buster Bunny and I took out our equipment we bought and whacked the generator and destroyed it. Suddenly, the gateway closed and after it closed, we headed back the way we came to where a mouse plushie was locked up in a room. When we came to the Black Steel Door to the room the mouse plushie was locked up, we unlocked the door. Suddenly, the mouse got up and said, "Thank you for rescuing me, my name is Elvin Mouse". We introduced ourselves and Elvin Mouse said, "I would like to join you". "Sure, we could use your help", I said. Little did we know that it was a gremlin that took the form of Elvin Mouse. Elvin Mouse joined us and we continued back the way we came. When we got to the first floor, we went over to the Green Steel Door and unlocked it. We opened it and saw stairs going down. Then, we went down the stairs and found ourselves in a room with a fountain. Suddenly, Monique Mouse took out a canteen and said, "This is the Purity Water that we need to cure Heather Mouse". Monique Mouse went over and filled the canteen with Purity Water.
       After filling the canteen with Purity Water, Monique Mouse rejoined us and we headed back up to the first floor. When we got back to the first floor, we went back out the fortress entrance. After we left the fortress, we went back to the cave and turned on our Flashlights. After turning on our Flashlights, we followed the cave back the way we came until we came out into the forest. When we came back out into the forest, we followed a path and headed west back to Rodentia Village. While we were traveling through the woods, we ran into a three foot tall gray mouse with a White Belly of fur that looked like he was a knight. "Greetings, I'm Sir. David Mouse. Thank you for stopping the Imp attacks. Since you helped stopped the Imp attacks, I'll give you this Rodentia Chest Key. This key will open any chests that have the cheese symbol on them.". Sir. David Mouse then gave me the Rodentia Chest Key. "I'll accompany you back to Rodentia Village.", said Sir. David Mouse. Then, we followed Sir. David Mouse back to Rodentia Village. When we arrived back to Rodentia Village, we headed to Heather Mouse's House. When we got to Heather Mouse's House, we went inside. After we went inside, we went into the bedroom where Heather Mouse is still sick. Then, Monique Mouse walked over to Heather Mouse and gave her the Purity Water and said something to her. After Heather Mouse drank the Purity Water, she lied back down and we waited. After waiting for almost a half hour, Heather Mouse sat back up and climbed out of bed. Then, she came over to me and said, "Monique Mouse told me that it was you that helped her get the Purity Water so I could get better, thank you. I'm Heather Mouse".
       We introduced ourselves to Heather Mouse. After we introduced ourselves, Heather Mouse said, "Glad to meet you". Suddenly, Heather Mouse saw the Sack of 200 Tennis Balls and went over to them. She opened the sack and saw the Tennis Balls. After seeing the Tennis Balls, Heather Mouse started to count them. After Heather Mouse finished counting them, she asked, "You brought Tennis Balls?". "Yes", I replied. "Well, my brother Jeffrey Mouse and I would like them to play with, if that is all right. "Sure", I said. "In return for the Tennis Balls, I am going to give you 100 Gold Coins, which is one Gold Coin per two Tennis Balls". "Okay", I said. Then, Heather Mouse picked up the sack of 200 Tennis Balls and carried it into her bedroom and placed it in a corner. After she placed the sack of 200 Tennis Balls down, she went into her closet and got out 100 Gold Coins. Then, she came back over to me and said, "Here you are". After I took the 100 Gold Coins from Heather Mouse, I place them in the bag of Gold Coins I was carrying and saw that I now have 810 Gold Coins. "Where are you off to now?", asked Heather Mouse. "We are going to go back to my world, the Real World, to go to the fortress that is to the north of where I live to see if Babs Bunny is being held prisoner there. But, the Magic Mirror that we came through to this world is now an Ordinary Mirror. Do you know the one who created it?", I responded. "Yes, that would be Benny Mouse. You would find him across the sea that is to the south of here. My dad, Chester Mouse, is a boat captain who owns a boat and could take you there.", Heather Mouse said. "Lets go", I said. Suddenly, Heather Mouse said, "I feel strong enough to venture with you. My bother, Jeffrey Mouse and I would like to go with you.". Then, Heather Mouse's mom, Jessica Mouse said, "I'm going to stay here. I want you to be careful.". "We will", Heather Mouse responded.
       Just as we were about to leave, we saw that it was already getting dark and Monique Mouse said, "We should stay here for the night and continue our journey in the morning". "Okay, we should get some sleep for the long day tomorrow", I said. Then, Jeffrey Mouse and Heather Mouse's mother, Jessica Mouse, said, "I'm going to get some of my extra blankets and pillows so everyone can get some sleep on the floor". "Well, I got to be going", said Sir. David Mouse. Then, Sir. David Mouse left while Jessica Mouse went into her bedroom to get her extra blankets. When she came back out of her bedroom, she gave the extra blankets to us and we started to lie down on the floor. After we lied down on the floor, Elvin Mouse said, "Erik, I have a place I want to show you tonight". "Okay", I said. Then, Elvin Mouse and I got up. "Elvin Mouse and I are going out for a little bit, we will be back", I said to the others. "Take care", Buster Bunny said. Then, Elvin Mouse and I left Heather Mouse's House. When Elvin Mouse and I stepped outside, we saw that it was almost dark. "Follow me", said Elvin Mouse. Then, I followed him west out of Rodentia Village and started to follow a path. After walking for a while, we followed another path to the north. We continued to follow the path to the north until we came to what appeared to be a Small Fort. "Here is my place. Lets go inside", Elvin Mouse said. We went inside the Small Fort and saw that we entered into a room. Luckily, I didn't need a Flashlight because everything was lit with torches. Looking straight ahead to the right, I saw a doorway straight ahead to the right.
       After seeing the door, I followed Elvin Mouse through the doorway into a smaller room. After we entered into the smaller room, I saw another doorway to our right. Then, we went through the second doorway and into another room the same size as the smaller room. Looking to our right, I saw a doorway with stairs going up. Then, we went through the doorway and went up the stairs. We climbed them until they stopped at another doorway leading out to the second floor. After we walked out into the second floor, we saw that we were in a room the same size as the smaller room downstairs. I looked to the left and saw a Green Steel Door. Before I had the chance to go open it, Elvin Mouse said, "First, you need to follow me a little further". Then, I looked straight and saw a doorway straight ahead. We went through the doorway and entered into another small room. Suddenly, Elvin Mouse said, "Let me see your Black Key". "Okay", I said. I gave him the Black Key. Then, I looked to our left and saw a Black Steel Door and thought, "That is why he needed the Black Key". Elvin Mouse unlocked and opened the door and we entered. Suddenly, I looked at the floor and saw a light blue carpet. After seeing the carpet, I looked up and saw a bed covered with blankets and two pillows. Then, I saw that the room had no windows. After looking around, Elvin Mouse came up to me and said, "Here, drink this, you must be thirsty". Then, he gave me something in a bottle and I drank it.
       Suddenly, I shrank down to about Elvin Mouse's size and I harshly asked, "Hey, what did you give me?". "Oops, sorry about that. It was a Shrinking Potion", chuckled Elvin Mouse. Suddenly, I saw that my clothes were big on me and I asked, "Do you have something I could wear for tonight, I'm a bit sleepy?". "Yes, wait right here", answered Elvin Mouse. Then, Elvin Mouse left the room and came back a few minutes later with a Mouse Suit that was gray and had light blue pants with overalls and a yellow and dark blue checkered shirt. Seeing the Mouse Suit, it was just like Linda Bunny's Bunny Suit with an opening in the back to get into and all one piece. "This is all I have, it was something that I made", said Elvin Mouse. "Oh boy, I guess we will have to explain this accident when we get back to the others and figure out how to fix it", I said. Then, I left the room and took off my clothes except my underwear and got into the Mouse Suit. After I got into the Mouse Suit, I looking through the black part of the eyes into a nearby mirror and saw that I looked just like a gray mouse. I looked down at my feet and saw that they were completely covered and gray. Looking at myself in the mirror again, I saw that I was wearing a yellow and light blue checkered shirt and light blue pants, and saw that I had a tail too. I went back into the room Elvin Mouse was waiting in and said, "I'm going to lay down for a while". "Okay", said Elvin Mouse. Then, I laid down on the bed and suddenly feel asleep. After I feel asleep, Elvin Mouse came up behind me and took out a gray thread and a needle and started to sew the opening in the Mouse Suit shut.
       After he completely sewed the opening in the Mouse Suit shut, he pulled the shirt down and started to pull the paints up around my waist and the overalls over my shoulders. Then, he tucked the shirt into the pants. After Elvin Mouse was finished, he left the room and brought in my clothes, Silver Rodentia Key, Green Key, Rodentia Chest Key, and bag of Gold Coins. Then, he left the room again and closed and locked the door. A while later, I suddenly woke up and got up. After I stood up, I saw that Elvin Mouse was gone and the door was closed. "Maybe Elvin Mouse left without me", I thought to myself. Then, I went over and picked up my clothes, Green Key, and bag of Gold Coins. While I was picking up my stuff, I suddenly saw myself as a gray mouse in another mirror that was in the room and remembered that I was in a gray mouse suit. After I picked up my stuff, I headed to the door and suddenly found it locked. "Oh no, Elvin Mouse locked me in here", I thought to myself. I turned and walked back to the bed and put my stuff down. Then, I sat down on the bed and thought that I am going to have to wait and hope that someone finds me. After sitting there for a while, I suddenly felt sleepy and hot and decided to take off the Mouse Suit and get under the covers. After I pulled the shirt up and pulled down the overalls and pants, I went to get out of the Mouse Suit. Suddenly, I realized that I couldn't get out and felt around to the back for the opening and discovered that the opening was sewn shut. "Oh great, now I'm stuck in the Mouse Suit", I thought to myself. Then, I pulled the shirt back down and pulled up the pants and the overalls over my shoulders. After I tucked in the shirt, I got under a sheet and laid down. While laying down, I waited and listened for anyone coming to the door. While I laid there and listened for someone coming to the door, I suddenly fell asleep.
       Meanwhile, back in Heather Mouse's House, Buster Bunny said, "Erik and Elvin Mouse have been gone a very long time. I wonder where they are.". "Me too, I'm starting to worry myself", said Plucky Duck. "Maybe we should go look for them", said Erik Mouse. Suddenly, Monique Mouse heard what was being said and exclaimed, "I felt something fishy about Elvin Mouse. I don't think he is a real mouse". "What makes you say that?", asked Erik Mouse. "I felt that something was wrong from the time we freed Elvin Mouse from the fortress in the hills", answered Monique Mouse. "Then, why didn't you say anything about it when we were freeing Elvin Mouse? We could have left him locked up if you said something.", said Erik Mouse. "At first, I thought it was something else I was feeling and thought that Elvin Mouse was a friend", explained Monique Mouse. "Okay, we forgive you for not saying anything. There is nothing we can do to fix it. Anyway, what's important now is finding out what happened to Erik.", said Erik Mouse. "Well, we are going to have to wait until tomorrow to search for him. It is too dark now to do any searching. Lets get some sleep now and we're search for Erik tomorrow.", said Buster Bunny. Then, they all laid down and went plush. The next day, they got up and got ready to leave and Heather Mouse asked, "Where is Erik?". "We don't know, Elvin Mouse took him somewhere and they never came back. Right now, we think that Elvin Mouse is not really a mouse.", said Buster Bunny. "He's an impostor?", asked Heather Mouse. "We're not exactly sure. They might be another Elvin Mouse, the genuine one, locked up somewhere.", answered Buster Bunny. "Jeffrey Mouse and I are going with you", said Heather Mouse. "Okay", said Buster Bunny.
       After Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck, Furrball Cat, Erik Mouse, and Jaq Mouse got their equipment, they left the house and Monique Mouse, Jeffrey Mouse, and Heather Mouse followed behind. After they left the house, Monique Mouse suddenly said, "I feel that they may have headed west, but don't know where they went after that". Then, they headed west out of Rodentia Village and started to call my name in hopes that I would respond. After a while of searching, they started to search to the south. After searching a while longer, they headed towards the north and continued searching. After searching again for a while, they came together to meet. "We have been searching for a long time and haven't found him", said Buster Bunny. "Lets continue searching to the north, it is just almost noon", said Erik Mouse. They continued to search to the north until suddenly Erik Mouse came across the Small Fort that I was led into and called to the others. The others came together once again and Erik Mouse asked, "Do you think Erik might be in here?". "Yes, there is the possibility he could be", said Buster Bunny. Then, they went into the fortress and searched through the first floor. When they came to the doorway with stairs going up, they went up the stairs and continued to search until Erik Mouse came to the Black Steel Door and asked, "Could someone give me a boost here?". "Sure", said Buster Bunny and he came over and lifted Erik Mouse so he could look through the bars. Looking through the bars, he saw what appeared to be a gray mouse lying in a bed. Little did he know that it was me in a Mouse Suit. Seeing the gray mouse, he climbed down off of Buster Bunny and said, "That's strange, it looks like Terry Mouse is locked in there". "Terry Mouse?, I thought that he went to Rodentia Castle to take care of some business with the king and then disappeared", said Monique Mouse. "Could it be possible that he was led back here and locked in there?", asked Erik Mouse. "Yes, that could be possible", said Buster Bunny. "Then, Erik is not here and we need the key to let him out. Lets go", said Erik Mouse.
