At last! Some new scenery! Honestly, Z12 had a romantic idea that the place might look a little more hospitable. But this place looked like a literal ghost town, as if every dark corner hid some evil in it. Creepy.
Z12 slowed his pace, scanning the area. No one seemed to be here. So far.
"Well. Where to?" He asked Z2, staring at the buildings. There was a windmill, still turning. The sound of it brought mild comfort, somehow, as if he could close his eyes and imagine a quaint little country town, with simple people living simple lives.

Wow. This really was a ghosts town. Zeta 12 could feel and hear the vibration of his cell phone go off. He checked to find a message about some kind of contests that had happened while he was travelling.
Someone had 2 pendants.Someone called Epsilon 13?
A dark thought wisped through his mind. What if.. he were to get this E13? Find him, take hi down, and take his pendants. 2. He could use them for himself and Z2.
"We.. won't survive unless we get those pendants.." He whispered darkly.

"God, being here... the beach seems rather pleasant in comparison." Z2 replied, huddling close into Z12's back just in case anything decided to jump out at them.
"Are you sure about this...? I'm not entirely sure I want to be here anymore." Z2 held tightly onto his gun, his eyes shifting back and fourth to make sure there wasn't anything hiding ready to eat him. At least there wasn't any people here... not that they knew of yet anyways.
Z2's phone vibrated suddenly which made him jump a bit, "Ah!" he screamed, quickly shutting his mouth. "Sorryyy..." he apologized as he flipped open his cellphone. E13 had acquired two pendants... Z2 looked back up at Z12.
"Oh god... you're not thinking what I think you're thinking are you...? This island is huge, Z12. E13 could be ANYWHERE right now. Who knows, what if he has like... ten people with him helping him out? Then what? We have absolutely no chance of taking him down. We need to play it safe... "

"Ditto, buddy." Z12 said in awe of the creepy town. There was too little going on here. It was frightening.
"But.." Z12 gritted his teeth, his fists clenched. "If we sit here on our hands for 6 days, what will happen on the last day? We'll die." He sighed, wishing he could rub his eyes. "Can't we at least look? If he's guarded, w'll give up. But, if there is a chance we can blind side him, I think we should take it."
He looked back to the path they had been on, biting his lip. "The lighthouse. It has a view of everything. If we go there, we could keep a lookout for enemies, right? Safe, right? Better than this town?" Better than a town with no one in it. It was nagging at him. Pendants. They needed them to live. It was becoming an obsession.
"I appreciate your eagerness to stay safe and sane, but.. we can't be naive about what's going on here. We need to survive. Even if it means getting out hands a little dirty." Could he kill? Maybe not, but perhaps he could steal.

As much as Z2 didn't like the idea of trying to find this person and take his pendants, he knew Z12's logic was right. They couldn't exactly just sit around and do nothing until they died. They needed those pendants.
"I guess you're right... we can try, but... where would we find someone like him though? What if somebody gets to him first? There's so many questions with no answers, it makes me so mad that we don't know the answer to anything. Why we're here, who I am, why we're being forced to kill each other... none of it makes sense to me! I just want to to go home!"
Z2 laid his head against Z12's shoulder, heaving a long sigh, "I'm just so tired now... My feet ache and this suit makes me hot. It's only been two days and I already feel like I would be so much better off dead. If we're going to the Lighthouse, we better get going now before I lose the will to go anywhere anymore and toss myself off a cliff..."

Z12 rubbed Z2's back, trying to bring some kind of comfort to his fellow teammate. "I know.. I'm just trying not to think about home, or whatever or whoever I am. Too much.." The less he worried about it, the better he would be able to focus.
Z2 was tired. It was obvious. Z12 was too, but he felt his need for survival push him along. He bent down, looking back to Z2. "Climb on my back. I'll carry you for a while. You need to rest." He smiled lightly under his mask, glad he could move forward and help out somehow. "When we get to the lighthouse, I'll rest while you take watch. Sound fair?" That way, Z2 wouldn't worry about feeling useless. He didn't want to make him feel that way, but they needed to be in top form.
"I said I'd protect you, and I still swear to it."

"I..." Z2 looked up at Z12. There he went being so nice to him again, "O-Okay... thank you. Are you sure though? I'm a little heavy... I don't want you tiring yourself out even more. It seems like a long walk to the Lighthouse."
Z2 blushed underneath his mask, "I p-promise to protect you too... we're partners after all. I got your back and you have mine. That's how it works right?" Z2 knew that everything Z12 said and did for Z2 was because they were partners, but he couldn't help but think that maybe it was something even more than that...
He shook the thought away quickly though, "Well, we'd better get going then?"

"Positive. Climb aboard." He said with a chuckle, lifting up his tired partner up on his back. "Yeah, let's head out." They had each other, and would do what they could to keep one another alive. Less of a manhunt, and more on a mission, the duo headed out toward the lighthouse.
Hopefully, it would light the way to their survival.
(See whut I did Thar? Z12 & Z2 are exiting toward the Travelling Thread)
