Monster Experiments!

As the walls of the cube fell down, both Aqualina and Celestia instinctively flinched before quickly guarding up, their bodies tense and ready for an attack. But… to their surprise, there was no one here.

Not a single soul! Except for the chamber!

"Who the hell opened this?" Celestia muttered, her sharp eyes scanning the empty space with a wary expression.

"Aether…?" Aqualina whispered, trying to reach out to him through their connection. But… nothing... It was like hitting a solid wall. Something was still blocking their link, making it impossible to communicate with him. A deep frown formed on her face.

Celestia shifted uneasily, her gaze flickering toward the only door in the chamber. "Should we leave?" she asked, hesitantly. Her gut told her something was off—way off.

Who had opened the cube? And why? If this was a trap, then stepping out blindly could be the worst mistake they'd make.
