《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 12 (Part 4)

Somewhere else, Tommy and Ruth continued to follow the orange and black butterflies that led them to the right path. They appeared to be at another crossroad, as the two pondered over which way they should go next.
“What now? Which way do we go?” Ruth asked the butterflies.
The insects gathered around a particular path, and as they gathered in the upper region of the walls, lights powered by crystals lit up. The butterflies then scattered, leaving Tommy and Ruth to walk down the path with the brilliantly lit shards guiding their way.
“Cool, thanks for the help, you guys,” Ruth said, waving at them.
“Yeah, we appreciate it,” Tommy added.
As the two walked down to the end of the path, Tommy couldn’t help but wonder about something: Why were the butterflies helping them out? What did they get out of it? Was it for pity or something else entirely?
As he continued to contemplate the butterflies’ involvement in all this, rumbling that came from the other side of the wall broke his train of thought. They broke open as an Echinosauropteryx charged through with Antonio, still in its clutches.
“What’s going on?!” Tommy yelled out, nearly tripping and falling. His heart pounded as the giant creature flew through the wall right before their eyes.
“Look up there; it’s Andy!” Ruth pointed out.
“My name is not—” Antonio tried to correct him, but got bounced off another wall edge and fell unconscious.
Tommy gasped. “Follow him!”
“What do we do?” Ruth questioned. “If we don’t act now...”
“Maybe I can find something in my bag?”
The Echinosauropteryx flew back down to the path, causing the boulders from the higher regions of the walls to come crashing down.
The two dodged them as best as they could, trying to keep up with the beast. Unfortunately, the boulders also covered up the path in front of them.

“Antonio!” Tommy exclaimed.
He rushed over to climb on the rocks and take them out of their path. He threw out some small stones, but soon came across some big ones and couldn't get them out of his way. Tommy soon gave up and sulked in defeat.
“It looks like we’re trapped down here,” Ruth stated.
“Wow, I had no idea.” Tommy rolled his eyes and said sarcastically. “Great observation, what made you come to that conclusion?”
“I just used my eyes to observe the surroundings.”
“Figures.”
“But how do we get out of here now?”
Tommy grew in a panic state, not knowing what to do next. “Oh man, this is bad. I mean, Antonio is alive, but not by much; we have to save him!
“But if he’s alive, then what about Maggie? We can’t leave her behind, but do we find her first? We don’t know where she could be, and if we split up again, we’ll be further away from everyone and then—”
“Calm down!” Ruth interrupted. “I’m sure we’ll find them; why don’t we go the opposite way that we came in and search from there?”
Tommy inhaled and exhaled to calm himself down before responding again. “All right, not like we have any other option right about now.”
