"We're gonna have Atilla call for you guys through the vents and see if you can hear him, okay?" Y/n said. "Got it!" Jed answered. Atilla then got on the ground.

"JEDO! OCTO!" He hollered. "Can you hear him?" Y/n asked. "No, not a bit.." Octavius answered. Y/n then shook their head. "They could be anywhere from here to the intake vent." Larry uttered, kneeling down to the vent again. Dexter climbed into it a little. "What do you see, Dex?" Larry sighed.

"You know he's a monkey, Lawrence. He can't talk." Teddy stated the obvious. "No, but he can fit." Larry realized, and looked up at Nicky, "Nicky, give me your phone." Nicky hesitated a second before giving his phone. "Why?" He asked. "For Dex." Larry answered, walking to find a band or rope of some sort. "I don't understand one thing that's going on here." Lancelot stated.

"Yeah, no, I don't either." Nicky said, following Larry, "Dad, what's going on?"

"I'm uh.. sort of set up to track your phone." Larry admitted, picking up a rope.

"You're 'sort of' set up to track my phone? You track my phone?" Nicky asked, getting a little upset. "Yeah, I'm your dad, I'm looking out for you." Larry answered, tying the phone to the rope.

"No. No. Hold up. 'Spying on', is not the same as just looking out for someone." Nicky exclaimed.

"Chill, dude, he did it with my phone, too, when I was your age." Y/n commented.

"You'll get it back, I promise, but for now, it's going on the monkey's back." Larry explained the plan. He got Dexter to crawl over to him and he put the phone on Dexter's back. "Listen, I need you to go down there and find them, all right? Think you can handle it?" He asked. Dexter gave a salute in response, chittering.

"Jed, Ockie, Tell me when you see Dexter, okay?" Y/n said.

"Got it!"

"You have our word."

Dexter then jumped down into the vents, and started walking through them. Larry followed the tracker, and they all followed him. "Where's Dexter right now?" Y/n impatiently asked. "I think he's right.. here." Larry said, pointing at the screen. Lancelot laughed a little.

"'Right here'. Classic." He smiled and laughed, "Ah, the gift of laughter. Thank you, dangly bells." Everyone made a turn and walked into a white room. There were animals running around and cultural statues prancing about.

"First quest?" Lancelot asked. "Uh, not exactly," Larry answered, still following the tracker. "I thought you were going to Egypt." Lancelot uttered. "We are, but we gotta save my friends first." Y/n explained.

"You talking to us, Gigantor?"

"No, sorry. Just keep walking about."

"That's not how a quest works, a quest is one thing. It's not like, 'Holy Grail and a monkey'." Lancelot pointed out. Larry then looked up at him, "Yeah, well, our guys are missing, and Dexter's gonna find him." He said, as the gang looked around, Atilla dancing with one of the exhibits.

"So, what is your quest? Gold? Fountain of Youth?"

"Magic tablet. It's that thing that Ahk is holding." Larry pointed to Ahkmenrah, who was holding the tablet.

"Well, it shouldn't be too hard to take from him."

"What?" Y/n asked.

"Well, he seems well-toned, and lean... but weak. it would be like... taking candy from a feeble Egyptian baby."

...

"No, we aren't trying to take it, we're trying to fix it." Larry explained, "There's something wrong with it, It's kind of complicated."
