Everyone is just doing their own thing despite it being pitch black outside. Some people are trying to investigate the 'time' situation.

Book : "Ice cube? Where are you?" Book is desperately searching every corner of the grasslands. "Come on Ice cube! Please this isn't funny!" Barf bag approaches her shortly after she gives up searching.

Barf Bag : "What are you doing?"

Book : "I'm looking for Ice cube, I haven't seen her in ages."

Barf bag : "Isn't she mad at you or something?"

Book : "Yea..."

Barf bag : "Couldn't she just be avoiding you?"

Barf bag : "Yes but I searched everywhere for her! So I would've found her by now."

"AAAHHH!" A shriek is heard nearby, Most of the contestants rush towards the forest where they see someone running towards them.

Book : "What's going on?"

Barf bag : "Who is that?" They stare at the figure until it jumps out and reveals itself.

Book : "ICE CUBE!" Book sighs in relief as she runs towards ice cube who immediately steps away. "Where were you? What was the screaming about?" She is met with silence until someone else interferes.

Bomby : "Yea what was the screaming for?"

Icy : "I saw something! Near X is standing over there it tried to zap me with a weird laser!" Everyone looks at her in confusion.

Naily : "Are you sure? You could just be imagining it?"

Icy : "No I swear! There was something there, it tried to kill me!" No one believes Ice cube until X approaches the contestants.

X : "She isn't lying, there's something in the forest. I thought it was Four but there's a clear height difference between them."

Book : "Wait then what is it?"

X : "I'm not so sure but I think it would be a good idea to stay here on the grasslands because we don't know what it is and it tried to attack Ice cube." Everyone steps away from the forest, still keeping a close eye on it since there's something in there.

"Hey wait.." Balloony turns his attention towards Book. "Book I have a question for you."

Book : "Yea?"

Balloony : "Can you try figure out what that thing is?"

Book : "Oh! Uhm, I'll try but the only information that we have is that it's tall and it can zap people."
She flicks through her pages searching for the creature but oddly enough there's nothing that matches the description. "That's odd, I have information on every creature in Goiky so why is nothing matching up?"

Nickel : "Golly gee.."

Balloony : "Wait, Ice cube doesn't Four have lasers?"

Icy : "Yea and it looked just like his!"

Balloony : "Book, do you have any information on algerbraliens?"

Book : "Sadly no, we were never given enough time to fully research Four and X due to the competition."

Leafy : "Then there still is a chance it could be Four!"

Book : "But Four is way shorter than that thing, how could it possibly be him?"

Nickel : "Maybe he uhhh, had a growth spurt? Or he could've just made himself taller."

Book : "No, from what I've seen Four doesn't have the ability to change his height like that."
