Grayson's ears continued twitching until he suddenly spoke, "Scott." 


"Yes?" Scott moved closer and started watching the ground. 


The guards near the entrance to the Namazu's hideout tensed. They must sense something as well. 


"There are.. people. Moving down there. Fast. I think they're going to come up." Grayson opened his eyes. "They're very close now." 


Just as he said, the ground started to shake and Scott saw a hand reach through the poisonous mist. 


The guards in front of the hole backed away, afraid of the poison. 


The seal around the hole should keep the people from coming out but if there are people down there, dying from the poison, the seal might undo itself to release the people from inside. 


"What's going on? Everyone in the hideout evacuated long ago." Valeri asks. 


"How should I know?" Winon answers her. 


Scott and Grayson had stood up and advanced slowly to the sides of the two guards near the hole.
