Chapter 6:
"Oh no..." said Jonathan. "I'm lost!" He stared at his feet blankly, wondering why he had never thought of the possibility. "Gotta get back to Nimbus Station," he said out loud.
Jonathan began to walk above the cave. In the distance, he saw a mountain. From there, he would see everything! He sent out in the mountain's direction. The path was dangerous. An occasional Spiderling came his way, but he smashed them with ease with his Space Ranger guns.

Night came quickly, and Jonathan was forced to set up camp for the night. He took out a tent and set it up. Firewood was plenty around the cave, and with his matches, he had a good fire going in no time.
Jonathan had nightmares about the Darkitect throughout the night. Some gave him fear, while others were more bearable.
When he woke up, he set off again toward the mountain. The rocks began to slope higher and the path grew more difficult. But he didn't stop. He knew if he did, he would be smashed. Although the mountain was still a long way off, Jonathan was hopeful and determined.
Chapter 7:
Jonathan packed up camp and raced toward the mountain, which was closer than ever. He was about to start climbing when a hiss sounded behind and a powerful landed on his back. The Spider Boss hadn't given up yet.

Jonathan knew this had to be the end. He slowly thought in his head what a fool and disappointment he had been. The crushing on his back grew worse and Jonathan began to slink from consciences. He looked up for what he thought was the final, but instead of seeing his captor give the smashing blow, a minifigure jumped to his rescue and began fighting off the Spider Boss with his simple sword. Jonathan watched in awe as the minifigure pushed the beast back into the hole from which it had emerged. Then blackness.
When he woke up, the minifigure was setting up Jonathan's tent. "Thank... you..." Jonathan groaned.
"Try not to talk," said the minifigure. "That spider crushed your lungs."
"How... how did you find me...?" asked Jonathan weakly.
"Long story."
Chapter 8: The Long Story
"I'll take it your lost," continued the minifigure, "Like me. I'm an Assembly member, and I was sent with team of 4 people to try to make the caves safer for minifigures to enter, so the Spider Boss could be defeated more easily. When we entered, we shocked at how dangerous the cave was. Spiderlings were everywhere and the Spider Boss himself caught our scent and gave chase. The rest of the team was smashed. They rebuilt safely outside the cave, but I haven't seen them since. I raced ahead to get away from them, but they blocked the exit hole I assume you came out of. I went farther up the tunnel and found another escape hole. I put my Assembly Engineer gear and smashed the little Spiderlings with my personal fortress. The Spider Boss was unaffected and he scuttled back into his cave.
"I have searching for a way back to civilization for many days now. I have seen many things no one else has seen. Then I saw this mountain, and knew from the top of there, I could see a way back."

"I got lost, and I followed this mountain to find a way home..." said Jonathan. “I think I'm ready to go. Let's find a way back to Nimbus Station!”

Chapter 9: Climbing Avant's Highest Peak
After resting, the duo decided to head on out again. The problem they faced was that a whole ridge of mountains blocked their way. It would take a long time, but they would reach the top eventually. As the climbed, they told stories about their encounters with Maelstrom enemies and about exploring the Universe.
Jonathan learned that minifig’s name was Fred. Fred told Jonathan about how he had gotten to Avant Gardens by building his own rocket on his home world and launching there to start his quest to defeat the Maelstrom.
The top was getting nearer and Jonathan and Fred raced to get to the top. Out of nowhere, another Maelstrom Spiderling jumped from behind a boulder.
He grabbed Jonathan and knocked him down the cliff. He dangled on the edge of a far deeper pit, slowly sliding. He managed to grab one of his Space Ranger guns and shot at the Spiderling. He heard Fred shout something he couldn't hear. And the sounds of a short lived battle rang above.
Fred began to run toward Jonathan as he slipped further and further off the cliff. He jumped down and grabbed Jonathan. Anyway, he grabbed where Jonathan had been.
At the same time Fred ran forward, Jonathan could hold on no longer and he slipped. Instinctively, he brought out his guns. He shot below him and a boulder fell off the side of the cliff and blocked his fall. He fell hard, but he was still in one piece. He didn't know how'd he'd get up, but that was the least of concerns. He was wondering if Fred was still ok up at the top of the cliff.
"I'm alive," he whispered. Now he knew even small Spiderlings had to be destroyed. They were corrupting the Universe. He took out his journal and read his notes about the Spider Boss. Life is different now, he thought. I can't just stay here. I'm a Nexian!

Chapter 10: Stuck
Jonathan wished a Mythran would just stop by and give him a jetpack to get out of the pit. He had tried everything to climb out but with no success. The only place left to go was the chasm.
“The chasm?” He thought. “That place could be a way out! There could be exits down there or something!” He scooted slowly toward the edge and peered down. All he saw was blackness. Should he jump, or not?
He knew it was the only flicker of hope getting out of there alive. But it was very risky. He could, and he probably would, Smash. But what were his other alternatives? He thought. Wait for Fred or a jetpack?
His decision was made. He would jump. He went closer to the edge and stood up. He didn't look back as he sailed off the edge, for if he had, he would have seen his own rope from his tent being lowered to save him.
Jonathan tumbled through the blackness. Up ahead he saw a cliff. He reached out to try to grab it. His left arm hit the surface first and it took on the full force of his fall. He managed to grab on with his good arm and he hung there, breathing heavily.
After a while, Jonathan began to slowly drag himself up. The process was painful, but he did it within a matter a minutes. When he reached the top, he collapsed unconscious.
Meanwhile, Fred brought up his rope. His friend was gone. He sighed deeply.
Fred packed all the possessions and left, never to return.
