Chapter 4 - Chapter 3.5:Earlier of unease

Back then, Vaquero still awaits for the two to come back from the greenhouse.He transformed into his large bot that's in a warm blue color and the sunlight bathes the robotic body.He does a few sentries to look for something that's interesting 

His body began to warp as usual as he decided to transform back to his 3-door SUV vehicle form.After that..

Vaquero mind:It won't be a little bad to explore 

Vaquero vehicle tire began to move fast, the scrubbing sound between the ground and his tire louden.He then ejected himself to explore the grass hills.As he was exploring, he decided to want a little experiment 

Vaquero:You know, I wonder what those hourglasses even do

Vaquero decides to choose a random floating hourglass.As he was driving forward to the hourglass, he slowly but surely felt a... Unending feeling of unease.It isn't terror but unease that changes the tone.But the source of this feeling is unknown

Vaquero:W..Why am I getting unease? Vaquero, come on, you've faced way dangerous foes back at apparatus and you didn't feel this amount of unease but.. Whatever, I should get moving 

He finally reached the hourglass and it was surprisingly massive.It was the twice size as Peter, levitating above the ground almost in a ethereal way.The uneasy feeling however said otherwise.The unease grows intensely to the point Vaquero wants to leave immediately however he resists through the unease for the sake of his curiosity.His vehicle for warped and deconstructed itself, transforming back to his Sentibot form and decide to move the hourglass around but nothing happened so he pushed it from the top.As the hourglass is pushed to the ground with his giant finger, it immediately phase through it

Vaquero:Huh, nea-

Suddenly, tentacles of black liquid etched with glowing green symbols surged from the ground, (but didn't break it but rather phased through the ground to the up) and then wrapped the sinking hourglass to the ground and then vanished as it was pulled..

Vaquero:...Wha...??

Vaquero stood there for a second before turning his back to the greenhouse again after completing his curiosity and the uneasy feeling slowly disappeared 

Vaquero:I better get going 

Vaquero body melts and deconstructs into his vehicle form yet again.The wheel rotates between the surface and he moves himself on the ground

As he drove towards the greenhouse, he started to have second thoughts about that strange yet confusing encounter 

Vaquero midn:What are those tentacles tho..Like why did it grab it? Jeez I have so many questions but those wouldn't be answered

Vaquero arrived at the greenhouse outdoors and returned back to his guarding duty-

An explosion was heard inside

It startled Vaquero so much, his vehicle from the shock.Thoughts run in his mind, a mixture of many complicated emotions 

Vaquero mind:No no no, not this again! Not after what i did back then in the past!..

He morph into his Sentibot yet again and shouts as loud to the greenhouse but has 

Vaquero:HEY!, what was that explosion! Yer two get hurt?

Peter:No Vaquero, the explosion didn't harm us but we found something interesting

His voice echoes through the greenhouse, as if it sounds like an echo from an empty room

Vaquero:Well what is it?

Peter:It's a hole that has a ladder to it!

Vaquero:A hole with a ladder? Huh, that's weird (The hell? Why that specific? Could it be a trap?)

Peter:Sorry you can't come to us because of your size, Bud!

Vaquero:Yer don't worry, I'm used to being alone!

Vaquero was washed with a feeling of relief, glad that everything is okay unlike his "past"

Vaquero:Thank goodness..Phew..I thought-

That momment of relief was short live

Vaquero got a rest text on his LED eyes.He was startled, confused, anxious about what this message is

Vaquero:Wha..Wha the hell? 

Vaquero read the red text and he froze when he read the red text;

"It cannot be followed out the hole"

What is this "It", what does it mean? Who send this message and why? Could it be a mistake that Peter and Tabias that lead to something wors Could've he stopped it?

Questions run so much in his mind again The once relieving fekeing is replaced by constant anxiety and paranoia 

Vaquero mind:No no no no no no no, I cannot let it happen this, I cannot...I cannot let this happened again..I can't let them down anymore back then...Maybe..I can, no way, if I try to shoot the "thing".. It'll collapse the greenhouse.. 

The only thing Vaquero can do is be prepared of the thing that follow Tabias and Peter out of the hole

It cannot be followed out of the hole
