Crest gated back into the world as he looked around, Noone he knew was around.

Crest-Flashmail:Shadowfyre-"Will you go on an adventure with me?" Flashmail:Crimson-"Hey, wanna go on an adventure?"
Flashmail:Kat-Kat, wanna go on a quest?

Crest ran to the bridge and looked over the edge he looked closely at the reflection he saw looking at the scars from battle. He wondered why Vroka was after Shadowfyre he planned on looking further into the matter after this quest. Crest
continued to look over the edge waiting for the others to come.

Crest-"I guess I'll just gate in the field now, and wait for them."

*Crest gates into the field, standing in tall green grassy plains, a hill rose beyond but no one around. He waits until his flash mails have been answered*

Crest-"Hmm...just a few more minutes, I hope."

*Beyond the hills arised a ball of golden rings, then after a few seconds the rings dissolve, only to appear the leader of the Swordbreakers, Shadowfyre and Udario on his shoudler. He looks back and forth, scanning down the plains below, then to faintly see a shadowed person in the plains, covered in tall green grass. Shadowfyre could smell a bit of aromatic grass nearby, but he refuses and jumps up high in the air, somersaulting nearly 4 times before landing straight down, safely behind the shadowed person which Shadowfyre quickly recognized, it was Crest. He snickered and tapped his shoulder behind him, and Crest hopped in shock, only to turn around and see Shadowfyre's smiling face.*

Shadowfyre-"How you do Crest?" :lol:

Crest-"Uhhh...hehe, I'm fine, quite fine. How did you get here anyways, you weren't behind me a second ago."

Shadowfyre-"Well, you can't blame a guy with tricks up his sleeve. LoL."

Udario-"Tricks! Hehe. Good one master."

Crest-"Hehe, yea."

*Crest patted Shadowfyre's back and sat on a boulder, while Shadowfyre just stood on the boulder, staring and scanning the whole field, seeing many gate warps ahead. To his left he can view the faintly seen Dungeon, where there seems to be 5 gate warps around that area.*

Crest-"What you looking at Shadow?"

Shadowfyre-"Oh nothing. Just relaxing and enjoying the morn fresh air...and the beautiful scents of aromatic grass."

Crest-"Aromatic grass?!"

*Crest sniffs and smells the aroma of aromatic grass*

Shadowfyre-"Uhhh, Crest snap out of it....it's only aromatic grass, try not to get too excited, hehe."

Udario-"Hey isn't Aromatic Grass like a drug master? Hm?

Shadowfyre-"Yes, a bit Udario."

Crest-"Hehe, sorry pal."

*They both wait for answers from Kat and Crimson......*

Crest was smiling as he talked to Shadowfyre, then while they werent watching a Reaper and a Heavy metal came and knocked them both over.

Shadowfyre-"That Heavy metal isn't suppose to be here that is way too strong for this level!"

Crest-"Ya,I know. You take the Heavy metal while I take care of the Reaper."

Crest jumped onto Shadowfyres shoulders and flipped off towards the Reaper, Shadowfyre ran to the Heavy metal and slashed it. Crest then plunged his sword into the head of the Reaper he then used Calamity and finished the Reaper off.

Shadowfyre used Psychotic spiral and the Heavy metal fell down Crest ran over to help Shadowfyre, Shadow,and Crest jumped on the downed body and started slicing it.

Crest-"This is awsome!"

Shadowfyre-"Just don't let your guard down."

Shadowfyre-"Just don't let your guard down."

*Shadowfyre quikcly turns his head back and forth, left to right, watching both sides of him after he gives the heavy metal a final pierce in the head with his Slayer, and it dissolved down and melted into the ground.*

Crest-"That was weird, that Heavy Metal definitely doesn't belong in this kind of level. Do you think...?"

Shadowfyre-"I'm not sure, but it is quite strange. Although keep your eyes open, I have a weird feeling about this level."

Crest-"Oh man! What is that in the sky! Shadow look!"

Udario-"Wowwie! What is that?!"

Shadowfyre-"Hm?"

*Crest points up in the bright sunny sky, while a giant shadowed fortress zooms by in the skies.*

Crest-"What was that?"

Shadowfyre-"Now I have a bad feeling, that can't be though."

Crest-"Can't be what?"

Shadowfyre-"The shadowed shaped of that giant thing that floated by was something I read in an e-mail I had on the first day I registered."

Crest-"No way?!"

Udario-"Yes way!"

Shadowfyre-"Yes, but I'm not sure. The thing was too fast and was blocked by the sun's glare, so all we saw was the shape, but I'm sure that was....the....ONE."

Crest-"ONE?"

Shadowfyre-"Well I had this one e-mail from a mysterious user and a message, if I remember correctly said about later in my future of the world, I would be surrounded by friends, but surrounded with ONE. Dark, megalith of all nemesis'. Giant, quick than the eye itself. You don't know who I am. You will find out though, near in your world, find me, and I'll find you."

Crest-"Weird."

Udario-*yawns*

*Suddenly the ground rumbles and Crest and Shadowfyre turn around to see 2 monsters rampaging towards them.....*

Kat stood on a small know, looking at the landscape.
The sky was a beautiful orange color and the grass was the perfect
shade of green. She scanned the field to see if Crst was there.

Well he did tell me to come here earlier, so...ahh..

Kat saw Crest and Shadowfyre not too far from where she was standing,
strange how she didnt see them, and, there seemed to be a couple of monsters
after them.She quickly, and not too gracefully ran down the knoll and ran up beside them.
'hey guys!'-Kat

'You made it!'-Shadow

'Great, now, what about those?' Crest pointed to the two...

Crest saw two heavy metals coming as he pointed towards them.

Crest-"Guys umm there are more Heavy metals something is wrong Heavy metals do not belong in this level."

Crest leaped and put one foot on the head of one of the creatures and flipped to the other side.

Crest-" Shadow, Kat and I will take one you take the other you are strong enough right?"

Shadowfyre-".....Of course....of course i am."

Crest Started whacking the Heavy metal with his weapon as Kat used Rue rom, while Shadowfyre attacked the other Heavy metal. Kat and Crest had their hands full as the Heavy metal knocked Crest back into Kat.

Crest-"Kat are you ok."

Kat-"Ya,I am ok."

Kat casted Rue rom again on the Heavy metal as Crest used Calamity on it. Crest immediatly began slashing the creature in the back. The monster then turned its attention to Kat, the monster speeded towards Kat as Crest jumped and kicked the monster out of the way.

Kat-"I'm gonna finish this, Rue rom"

The monster turned black as it faded away into the ground.

Crest-"Kat let's go help Shadow".

Kat-"Ya, ok."

*Shadowfyre grins at the Heavy metal and jumps up in the air, so high that the sun blocked the glare from him and as Shadowfyre ladned behind the heavy metal, he quickly swifted out his slayer and sliced upwards through the heavy metal's back. It falls, then gets up, turning around and the eyes of the metal beasts turns red for some reason and Shadowfyre could see clearly computer codes inside the dark opening of the heavy metal's helmet.*

Shadowfyre-"You love to rock my friend? Well here's some headbanging!"

*Shadowfyre casts Deathbringer, and strikes the sword right at the head of the heavy metal, cracking the helmet in 2, it falls, and suddenly the inside of the beast was all computer code, first it was green numbers then it turned red. The headless heavy metal charges and plows Shadowfyre away. He flies in the sky, but lands safely on the ground, feet first. He holds his right side, while blood starts to drip slowly.*

Shadowfyre-"REPTH!"

Udario-"Oh for second there Master, I thought you were hurt, hehe."

*He heals himself and finally gives the heavy metal a last blow, piercing his sword into the stomache of the heavy metal. It blows up while the sword is still in its stomache. Although it disappears and Shadowfyre sheathes his blade back in. Kat and Crest run to help.*

Kat-"Hey need help?!"

Crest-"Are you ok?!"

Shadowfyre-"Like I said....no problem. hehe."

Udario-"Yea, Master rocks!"

*Shadowfyre puts a thumbs up and Udario raises his wing up.....*

Crest layed down on the grassy field as they waited for Crimson as Shadowfyre, and Kat sat down beside him.

Crest-"So Shadow, do you really think that those monsters were sent here by a hacker?"

Shadowfyre"I can't be sure, but I have a strange feeling about this place."

Kat-"Yes, I have felt this weird feeling ever since I've been here."

Crest-[I]"Ya, I have felt it too."

Reaching Mac Anu, Crimson searched the streets for his friends, but to no avail, he decides to head to the field. Arriving he begins searching for his friends along the horizon. "There master!" Flare said with exitement, tilting his head towards the group on the hillside.

Running over too them Crimson yelled "Hello!" to the group and got some waving hands in retern. "So when do we enter?" Crimson then said as he neared the group.

Crest-"As soon as possible I would hope."

Crest jumped up and started heading towards the dungeon as a portal opened right in front of the dungeon entrance and released 2 Scorpion tanks, Crest looked behind him and saw 3 Scorpion tanks coming up from the rear and 3 more from the left.

Crest-"Wha? Eight Scorpion tanks that is too many monsters for any level to produce!

Crimson"I know, Something isn't right."

(OOC:This may be a moderate amount but I am talking about of the same monster. :-P)

'Ach!, why are there so many?!'
Kat eyed the 3 coming from the left.
'We cant get surrounded'-Crest
'Yeah, alright, lets do this'-Crimson

Kat ran off around the scorpions on the left
and two of them followed.

That wasnt very smart, Kat

'Oh, shut up Roka!Im trying to keep us alive here!'

I just think you should think before you do something idiotic...
like fighting two monsters by yourself

'Who said I was going to fight them?'

Roka hissed at this
You idiot, they wont just go away you know!

Kat jumped as one of the scorpions tryed to hit her with its claws

'Rue Rom!' Kat raised her wand in the air, and the scorpion recoiled a bit, then continued with the other to come.

'I really dont want to die Roka!, what are you good for?!'

Sitting on your shoulder

'ahh, no, can you distract one?'

No

*sigh*
'I dont want them to have to worry about these though,
they have enough to worry about.
She shifted her focus to the others who where fighting
the 6 remaining scorpions.

Kat!

Kat looked up and saw one of the scorpions rearing up to
stab her with its claws.

'Ach!'
Kat ran as fast as she could to get farther away.

Idiot! pay attention!

'I could if you would shut up!'

Kat turned around and casted Rue Rom then Juk Rom on
a scorpion, killing it.

'That must have been the one I hit before'

Good, its dead, now kill the other

'I wonder how the others are doing?'...
(ooc:its actually a moderate size! ^_^ )

Crest dodged the attack of the Scorpion tank only to be hit by the one behind him, He had been surrounded. He looked over the Scorpion tank and saw that kat was having a harder time than he was. Crest watched as Shadowfyre jumped into the battl eand killed the monster right in front of him.

Crest-"Shadow, Kat has a lot to handle you and Crimson take the other Scorpion tank."

Shadowfyre-"Ok,will do."

Crest started running to where Kat was fighting he rushed passed the other Scorpion tanks as he headed towards Kat. Kat was running frantically from the other Scorpion tank as she waited for her Sp to refill, Crest leaped into the air on to its body and started attacking the monster. Crest used Calamity, as Kat saw her opportunity her Sp had recharged just enough for her to use Juk rom.

Kat-"Juk Rom"

The Scorpion tank faded away as Crest and Kat headed over to where Crimson and Shadowfyre were.

Running in with Shadow, Crimson rushed into combat, quickly Casting Rue Kruz, encasing the enemy in a crushing wall of water, this opened up and attack from Shadowfyre, using Psychotic spiral on the weakened enemy, while this was happening, Crimson turned to help the others.
"ANI DON!" Crimson yelled, slamming a ball of dark energy into an oncoming Scorpion Tank that was headed for Kat.

Then, turning back to Shadowfyre, he saw that he finished the weakened Scorpion tank with a back flip and a quick stab to the head.
"Shadow, you take the one on the left, I'll handle the right." Crimson then said, he was replied with a quick nod.
Crimson came upon the next Scorpion Tank, and he first cast Rue Zot, sending the enemy skyward. Then, while the enemy was dripping wet Crimson cast Rai Don to electrocute the Scorpion Tank, and then, while it was still in shock, Crimson cast Ani Don, rushing it to the ground, dead.

With that done, Crimson turned to face his comrades, but was met with the crippling claw of one of the weakened Scorpion Tanks. Sent flying to the ground, and out of SP, Crimson staggered to his feet, unsure of what to do next.

Crest quickly pushed Crimson out of the way as the stinger came down and hit Crest instead.

Crimson-"Thank you Crest."

Crest-"N.....O.... Problem."

Crest rolled out of the way as Shadowfyre jumped in front of him and the Scorpion tank.

Shadowfyre-"Are you ok Crest?"

Crest-"Ya, I'm good."

Shadowfyre rolled to the left as Crest backed up. Shadowfyre leaped up and avoided the creatures stinger in midair catching the tip of the stinger with his hand and swinging around then down the tail, Shadowfyre shoved his sword into the Scorpion tanks head as he polvolted back in front of the monster. Shadowfyre looked back at Crest as the monster exploded.

Shadowfyre-"Pretty good, if I do say so myself."

Crest-"Ha, don't get too full of yourself Shadow :P."

Kat casted repth on Crest and was out of sp.
'uhm, guys what about the other three?'-Kat
'Yeah, we wont be of much help since were out of sp'-Crimson
'dont worry bout it, me and Crest will take care of it'-Shadow

*Shadowfyre turned his head to Crest and smirked giving him a thumbs up, while Crest does the same to Shadowfyre.*

Crest-"Ready? I'll take the one on the right, you take the left."

Shadowfyre-"No problem Crest."

*Shadowfyre jumped in first, flying in thesky and somersaulting (which is his trademark fighting style) and lands afely in front of his targeted Scorpion tank*

Shadowfyre-"Eat this!"

Udario-"You go Master!"

*Suddenly the scorpion tank's claw swifts at Shadowfyre, but he dodges to his left and pierces his Slayer in the right side of the monster. It roars and strikes its large stinger towards Shadowfyre, but he releases his Slayer and rolls under the Scorpion tank and finally finishing it off under the bug, with a Death bringer*

Shadowfyre-"Feel the pain...bug!"

*The deathbringer instantly destroys the scorpion tank and while Shadowfyre lies under it, the bug explodes and flames of red computer coding fly around Shadowfyre, but the numbers disappear in a few seconds. Shadowfyre turns to Crest and watches as he clashes and slashes the scorpion tank he was battling*

Shadowfyre-"It just gets weirder, I mean...this level may be strange levels that I have faced before, but here...I can sense a much stonger force, a dark force."

Crest-"Aha! Take that beast!"

*Shadowfyre then turns back to Crest, he kills the scorpion tank finally with a smooth sword slice across the scorpion's head. Crest pants and runs to Shadowfyre*

Crest-"Liked my battle with the scorpion Shadow? Hehe, so what were you saying?"

Shadowfyre-"Oh it's nothing."

*While Kat and Crimson run to Shadowfyre and Crest, Kat looks at Shadowfyre*

Kat-"Shadow? Do you feel it? I mean, we all can feel the power in this level, but we 2 are the ones I know that have a ability to sense a stronger force. Do you feel it Shadow?"

Udario-"Force?"

Crimson-"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Crest-"I'm totally confused."

Shadowfyre-"Yes I agree, this level has a gigantic force, and a darker one in that matter. But I'm not going to stop, I will find out and search this wierdness. You all up for it?"

Udario-"I am!"

Kat-"Yea!"

Crest-"Uhhh...Guys, sorry to break your happy celebration, but we've got one more scorpion to take out."

Crimson-"Oh yea, forgot."

Kat-"Sorry, I'm ready to take it."

Shadowfyre-"This bug is the last...let's take it out!"

*The all charge forth to the last scorpion tank.....*

Crest and Shadowfyre both jumped into the air and used their special moves when they hit the Scorpion tank.

Crest-"Calamity!"

Shadowfyre-"Psychotic Spiral!

The Scorpion tank flipped over as it whined from the pain.


Kat and Crimson watched as Shadowfyre and Crest dealt blow after blow to the Scorpion tank. Crest and Shadowfyre finished it off with a combined stab to the head, Crest, and Shadowfyre watched as it faded away.

Crest-"Good job Shadow."

Shadowfyre"Thanks."

Crest looked in the direction of the dungeon as he pointed his sword towards it.

Crest"Let's go."

The sword caused Crest to fall down the hill they were on.

Crest-"I ment to do that."

All-"Ya, right."

Crest took off to the Dungeon as the others followed close behind him.

*The dungeon gets closer as all of us walk and walk nearly a mile or 2. Suddenly Shadowfyre stops and looks into the sky*

All-"Hey why'd you stop Shadow?"

*Shadowfyre looks down and leans on his sword which was pointing the ground*

Shadowfyre-"My heart, It burns."

Kat-"Shadow! What's wrong?"

*Shadowfyre falls to the ground and Udario hovers and grabs on his shoulder*

Udario-"Master, master! What's wrong?"

Shadowfyre-"Arghhh...it burns, my heart. AhHHHHHHHHhhhh!!!"

*Shadowfyre moves around in pain, aggresively. Everyone gets close and watch worryingly, they don't know what to do.*

Kat-"Oh my gosh! What am I to do? Please don't die Shadow."

*Shadowfyre could see the tears in Kat's eyes, and suddenly the pain stopped. Shadowfyre lied helplessly on the ground, panting and swaeting from the pain*

Kat-"What happened?!"

Crest-"Geez, what was that?"

Crimson-"Are you ok Shadow?"

Shadowfyre-"No I am...but I don't know what happened, my heart felt like it was gonna explode. Can I ask you a question guys?"

Crest-"Yea."

Kat-"Yes Shadow, what is it?"

Shadowfyre-"In this world, can we die? I mean, not like die and regenerate from a last save point, but actually die and never return?"

Kat-"That's scary, I hope not."

Crest-"I'm not sure, but I please hope that doesn't happen."

Crimson-"It can't be true."

Shadowfyre-"Thanx guys, but.....ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

*Suddenly Shadowfyre yells and the pain goes to his head, he grabs his head with his grips. Then his eyes widen and face sweat. In the eyes of Shadowfyre, he sees glimpses of a srange monster, a creature....suddenly the monster speaks:

???-"I who holds all power of this world, shall destroy. Without destruction, I cannot live. Without pain, I cannot survive. Life was born for mayhem, live it and burn my friend. Shadowfyre, you know who I am. You know who I am, you cannot resist, you know who. Oblivion is mines!"

*Suddenly the voice stops and the pain stops, Shadowfyre regains and looks to his team, while he's on the ground. He gets up and pats off the dirt from his clothes and rubs his head with his hand*

Kat-"What happened again Shadow?"

Shadowfyre-"It spoke to me...could it be, the ONE is......"

Crest-'Hey Shadow! Are you ok?"

Shadowfyre-"Yea, well I'm sorry for wasting your time. Let's get going."

Crimson-"Hmm...Weird."

*They all continue their quest to the dungeon......*

The party entered the dungeon. They quickly ran through the first two rooms with no difficulty, then Crest spotted something speed through the room.

Crest-"Wha...What was that."

Kat-"What was what?"

Shadowfyre-"I saw it too."

Crimson-"What are you guys ta...What the I just saw it."

Crest-"Brace yourself"

The party braced themself as something flew towards them at an incredible speed and disappeared as soon as it was about to hit them.

Kat-"What was that thing?"

Crest-"I don't know."

Shadowfyre"It's him."

Crest-"Him? Wha?"

Kat-"Who's him? What are you saying Shadow?"

Crimson-"This is creepy."

Shadowfyre-"It's him...I know it is, I can feel his presence, and that voice."

Udario-'Huh?"

Kat-"voice? I heard nothing, besides the incredibly swifting sound that past by."

Crest-"Me too, are yo usure you're not hearing things Shadow? Not that I'm being offensive or anything."

Crimson-"Since that incident where you fell in pain, I'm still feeling a bit creeped out."

Shadowfyre-"No I'm sure I heard his voice, that voice...that image, I see images in my head, but I can't seem to remember fully who or what that thing is."

Crest-"Let's find out."

Kat-"Yea, I'll do whatever I can to help Shadow."

Crimson-"Count me in." *shivers*

Udario-"And me too, I'm your guardian master, so I will protect you forever."

Shadowfyre-"Thanx guys, I appreciate your help."

*Suddenly the room grows dark and a gigantic shadowed image appears, it glows in red. It comes closer and closer and suddenly it only says one word:

???-"Fate."

*Then it disappears and the room comes back to normal.*

Kat-"Huh? What was that for?"

Crest-'No idea."

Crimson-"Weird."

Shadowfyre-"Hmm...fate. What does that have to do with us...or me? Well let's just continue on our journey, I feel that if I get closer and deeper into this dungeon, I'm sure I'll find that voice again."

Crest-"Yea, and maybe......huh?"

*Suddenly Crest recieves a much different voice in his own head, saying:

??? In Crest's Head-" Are you...are you my guidance? Please help me, I'm trapped. I need your help, you're my only hope, her power is endless."

*The voice disappears and everyone looks at Crest*

Shadowfyre-"You ok?"

Crest-"Uh....yea, hehe." *sweatdrops*

Kat-"Ok, anyways...let's continue guys."

Crimson-"On with our quest."

Shadowfyre-"Through forth...I feel it, I hear it, but I cannot see it."

Crest-"hmm?"

Shadowfyre-"Forget it, let's go."

*All of them continue....*

The party walked to the second level of the dungeon as Crest heard it again.

Help me, I can not break free of her grip. Help me.[/COLOR]

Crest kept walking as the thoughts ran through his mind. The group walked into the next room when they heard a familiar voice.

Vroka-"Welcome, I see we meet again, this time you will not be so fortunate."

Crest-"Arggg! Just leave us alone already!"

Crest continued to yell until something big came out of nowhere and hit Crest and the rest of the group with a single whack. Crest hopped back up and his face went pail as he saw the Huge spider crawling towards him.As the spider drew closer the words in his head grew louder and louder.

Kat looked at Crest, his brow was furrowed...

'Roka..whats happening?'

...

Kat looked at her furry companion,
and it seemed to be sleeping

'Urr, get up Roka!, right now isnt a good time to sleep!'

wha?- oh! whats that
The little cat looked at the spider, the jewel on her
head shining strangely.

'Its a giant monster ready to eat us'

You take care of that alright?, its nap time
and the little cat was asleep again.
Kat stared at the spider, frozen, before she let out a shreik.
'I hate spiders! argh'

*Shadowfyre steps back a few steps and eyes worried and hands shaking from the spider*

Kat-"Umm...*shivers*...Shadow, are you ok?"

Shadowfyre-"Uhhh, well the fact that I have a phobia of Bugs and Spiders, and one big giant one standing in front of me, I feel like falling down now, but besides that, I'm great."

*Shadowfyre puts on a angered face and turns to Vroka*

Shadowfyre-'You've gone to far Vroka, stop this now!"

Udario-"Yea, listen to master Shadowfyre. He'll kick your butt old lady!"

Vroka-"Old lady?! Why you white reptile winged pest!"

*Suddenly she reveals a giant wand behind her back, that we all have never seen before. The wand was the shape of a fork, but once she aimed the fork at Udario and Shadowfyre, it fired a ball of thunder at Shadowfyre. He jumps out of the way, making the thunderball miss*

Shadowfyre-"You! Vroka, where did you get that weapon?!"

Udario-'Hmph!"

Vroka-"Nice little object huh? Well I programed it and created it, it's a new weapon of mines, and a new enemy of yours. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!"

Shadowfyre-"You fool!"

Udario-"FIRE BALL!"

*Udario spits out a fireball and Vroka dodges it with her thunder ball*

Kat-"What are we gonna do?"

Crest-"This is bad."

Crimson-"Well someone think of something, or we'll be fried dinner for that spider."

Shadowfyre-"Hmmm..."

Crest fell to his knees as the voices in his head were to loud for him to take. Crest then slowly hopped to his feet and shouted.

Crest-"That is enough."

Suddenly the voices in his head disappeared as he made his approach to the spider, the spider hopped up and down excitedly as i he was hungry and hadnt eaten in a long time. The spider jumped in the air towards Crest. Crest quickly rolled out of the way then the monster shot a small web at Crest hitting him and throwing against the wall trapped.

Crest-"AHHH dang im trapped."

Shadowfyre-"Dang, Crest hold on I'll get you...."

Suddenly the spider jumped on Shadowfyre. Crimson quickly ran over to help as the spider took one leg and knocked him out of the way into Kat.

Kat-"That thing is way too strong."

Crest struggled to get off the wall as the spider attacked Shadowfyre.

Crest-"Shadowfyre hang on."

Shadowfyre broke free from the spider as he backflipped away from the monster and slid across the dungeon floor as he landed.

Shadowfyre-[I]" Man, I barely escaped that one."

Shadowfyre cut Crest out of the web.

Crest-"I think we have one option to beat this thing, we need to attack Vroka."
Shadowfyre-"I agree, let's go."

Crest and Shadowfyre jumped onto the back of the spider using it to get to Vroka.

Crest-"Ready Shadowfyre?"
Shadowfyre-"You bet."

Crimson used Rai don as Kat used Juk rom. Crest and Shadow watched as Vroka disappeared,along with the spider

Crest-"Did we get here?"
Shadowfyre-"No way,there is no way it was that easy."

Crest followed behind Shadowfyre as they traveled down the to the next level.

The group, wandering up the stairs finally came to a door. As Crimson opened the door, he found the room was empty, then came a strange voice from the back of the room. "Ready for round two?" came from the voice, and as soon as it was finished, the strange black shadow reappered, flying towards Crismon at amazing rates of speed, and hitting him straight in the gut. The punch sent him screaming down the stairwell, sliding to a halt on the dusty floors below.

OOC: sorry didn't have much time to post.

*Crimson lay helplessly on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. Shadowfyre began running to help him, but as he tried to, the flashy black swifter reappeared and punched Shadowfyre across the back, sending him flying down the stairs as well and falling down towards Crimson, but Udario flapped his wings, slowing the endurance of his falling and he slowly lay down beside Crimson.*

Shadowfyre-"Argh, my back."

Crimson-"You ok Shadow?"

Shadowfyre-"Hehe, no worries. C'mon I'll help you up Crimson."

Crimson-"Thanks Shadow."

*Shadowfyre got up and stretched his back while he lend Crimson a hand and brought him up to his feet. Everyone above the stairs yelled down*

Kat-"You ok down there?!"

Crest-"Hey c'mon up here, before anything else bad happens again."

*Shadowfyre pushed Crimson towards the top of the stairs, and he followed Crimson as they both made it up back to their team. They looked back att he bottom of the stairs and suddenly the room down there broke loose and crumbled into pieces, shattering into the depths of computer codings. Everyone gasps, but Shadowfyre puts ona serious face and sighs*

Shadowfyre-"She's planning to bring an end."

Kat-"What are you talking about Shadow?"

Shadowfyre-"Vroka, she really wants me dead. She will do whatever there is to kill me."

Crest-"Like we all said, we will help you with whatever we can. We won't let Vroka win."

Shadowfyre-"Thank you...friends."

Crimson-"That's what friends are for."

*Shadowfyre nods and suddenly the hallway they were in grew big and formed into an indoor sphere. A circle appears in the middle of the room, and then Vroka becomes visible and stands on the circle. The circle mrophs into a 3D clock.*

Vroka-"Guess what kiddies? You have 10 minutes to complete my labyrinth of pain, if you don't then Shadowfyre dies. Although if you do make it, which I doubt, I will give Shadowfyre a debt to live another day."

Crest-'You witch! You can't tell us what to do!"

Vroka-"Oh I can't huh? How about we start the clock now, hm? MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

*She clangs her fork wand down at the 3D clock, and the ticker goes off. A female voice says: 10 minutes before detonation of level, begin...now.

Shadowfyre-"Now Vroka has just lost it!"

Crest-"I agree, let's just get on with this level before it gets done with us."

Kat-"I'm with you guys."

Crimson-'No need to ask me twice, let's take care of this level, before we can take care of Vroka!"

All-"Yea"

*silently in the shadows...*

Vroka-"Fools. Shadowfyre, love my kiss of surprises, hehe."

*She giggles and disappears again......*

The group ran through the room and took a left at the fork in the dungeon.

Crest-"Ah A dead end!"

Suddenly the door closed as a monster morphed out of the wall it was a Hackberry King.

Shadowfyre-"That monster it is Vroka's doing."

Crest-"Yea, I noticed."

Crest and Shadowfyre started slashing left and right as Kat and Crimson casted Rai don and Juk rom. The monster started healing itself soon after.

Shadowfyre-"It must be low on health, thats why it started healing,We have to combine our attacks it heals itself well."

Crest and Shadowfyre leaped into the air and used their special attacks combining them into one. Psychotic Twister they yelled as Crimson and Kat used Rai don and Juk rom. The monster hit the ground and turned black as it faded away. Then the door flew open and the group heard 8 minutes remaining. They quickly ran out of the room and took the other route they had ignored.

Crest-"I can't beleive we went the wrong way."

Shadowfyre-"I know that seems to happen only when you need to get out of a dungeon in an emergency.

The party ran into the next room as a portal dropped 3 goblins.

Crest-"I think she is toying with us first we run into a high leveled monster and then we run into these shrimps."

Shadowfyre-"Crest watch out"

Before Crest could react the goblin flew at him with an amazing speed and crushed him into the wall. Crest Gasped in pain and fell to the ground holding his stomach.
Shadowfyre quickly came to the rescue and jabbed his sword into the goblins head killing it.

Crest-"Thank you,Shadow."

Shadowfyre-"No problem."

Crest looked over as the other two goblins were attacking Kat and Crimson. Shadowfyre looked at Crest and nodded as they both dashed toward the other 2 goblins.

*Shadowfyre and Crest dashes into the air, and lands, instantly starting slashing the 2 goblins to shreds.*

Shadowfyre-"Once a shrimp, always a shrimp."

*One goblin fades black and disappears*

Crest-"You said it!"

*The last goblin fades black and melts to the ground*

Shadowfyre-"You alright Kat and Crimson?"

Kat-"Um, yea Shadow. Thanks." *Giggles*

Crimson-"No need to worry about me, but thanks alot guys." *Puts thumb up and smiles*

*The door beyond them opens and Crest tells them to run, before time runs out. They all nod and began charging forth through the door, into the next room which was a small room with pots and door leading left*

Crest-"If I had time, I would get items from those pots, but items now are not important. We've got to help Shadowfyre, and take care of Vroka."

Shadowfyre-"Thanks Crest."

Crimson-"C'mon, times almost up."

*the female voice informs: 6 Minutes before detonation of level, repeat, 6 minutes before detonantion.


*They all charged to the left door and entered the next room which was fairly big, and one gate warp opened revealing 3 heavy metals. They didn't hesitate, they began charging forth to Shadowfyre and the team.*

Shadowfyre-"Heavy metals?! There's more of them?"

Crest-"Weird, let's take care of them quick guys!"

Kat-"Uh huh! Lets do it!"

Crimson-"Time to headbang these metalheads!"

*Crest and Shadowfyre charge first and combined their attacks again, firing Psychotic Twister at all of the heavy metals, which led the monsters plowing at the end of the room. Kat and Crimson, casted Rue Rom and Juk Rom while they ran towards the monsters to cast their magic, because the heavy metals were out of range.*

Crest-"juk Rom!"

Kat-'rue Rom!"

Shadowfyre-"Psychotic...."

Crest-"Twister!"

*The heavy metals fade black at the same time and explode, creating a weird display of fireworks*

*The voice repeats: 4 minutes before detonantion.

*They all ran for their guts towards the next room and finally made it to the last area of the level. It was black everywhere and red computer codings swifted all around. The 3D clock appeared and the voice grew lower and darker..."3 min...utes...be..fore...detona..tion..."*

*The voice shatters and Vroka appears above the clock, laughing*

Vroka-"Looks like you've made it all the way here my children, mwahahahahahaha!"

Crest-"Stop this, you said you'll let Shadowfyre free if we made it in time!"

Vroka-"Would you trust a sweet beautiful hacker like me? *Giggles* Hehe."

Shadowfyre-"You fool! You liar! You created monsters and traps in this level, and what's with all these Heavy Metals you planted around the level?"

*Vroka gulps and gets a worried look*

Vroka-"Did you say Heavy metals? In a level like this? It can't be, not her again."

Shadowfyre-"What?! What do you mean by her?"

Kat-"She's crazy."

*Suddenly the room's red codes turn blue and a funnel like black hole appears, while a female girl flies out of the funnel*

Shadowfyre-"wha?!"

*The girl was nearly 4 feet tall and had cute purple overalls and a big cap on her red pinkish hair. A heart pendant crested on her cap and on the front of her genie-like pants*

*She walks towards Shadowfyre and looks up at him, blushing and giggling*

???-"My name is Kiki, I'm a hacker. Oh please don't worry, I'm not bad at all. I was actually aiming for those Heavy Metals at that old lady Vroka, but the Heavy Metals didn't listen to what I said."

Shadowfyre-"Heavy Metals? You were the one?"

Kiki-"Yea! I love a bit rock music, so I just summon heavy metals to do my bidding, doubtfully most of them don't listen to me. Maybe it's because I look to kiddy."

Vroka-"Enough with this ruckus! It's time to die Shadowfyre!"

Kiki-"Stop this at once!"

*Suddenly Kiki creates a Heavy metal and this time it listens to her*

Kiki-"Heavy metal, go destroy Vroka!"

Heavy Metal-"At once, master!"

Shadowfyre-"What is that cute girl doing? is she on our side?"

(In the mind of Kiki----->"I've been searching for Shadowfyre all my hacking life on The World. Now that I'm this close to him, shoudl I just kiss him. Oh I love him soooo much, maybe I should give it time so we both can learn about each other.")

sorry posted too late on that part.

As the Heavy Metal came towards Vroka, she quickly sent a bolt of lightning towards it, shocking the heavy metal, but this didn't finish it, and it continued towards her.

"You'll go down next time Shadowfyre" Vroka said as she gated out. leaving the empty labrynth to themself and the newly aquainted hacker, Kiki.
"So why were you helping us?" inquired Crimson.

Kiki-"Oh...ummm, why did I help you guys?"

Crimson-"Yes, why would a hacker like you, help us?"

Shadowfyre-"Hmmm..."

Kat-"You look quite young and kiddy to be a hacker."

*Kiki grins*

Kiki-"Hey, for your information, I may be short, but I'm way cute."

Kat-"Sorr...ee. Hmph."

Crest-"hey, hey guys, settle down. Let's thank the girl at least."

Kiki-"Thanks."

*Kiki looks at Shadowfyre, which was staring down at the ground, and she blushes*

Crest-"Hey Kiki, why is your face red?"

Kiki-"Oh...um! Uhh...sorry but I have to go."

*Kiki turns around and creates a black funnel, running into it, but she turns around and Shadowfyre puts his head up looking and Kiki. Kiki blushes and winks at him, then she disappears into the black hole*

Crimson-"Weird lil' kid."

Udario-"Hmmm...she's cute looking."

Kat-"She's as hot-headed as Vroka. But she helped us, so I guess we should trust her."

Crest-"Hey Shadowfyre, what's wrong?"

Shadowfyre-"Oh nothing. Just a weird day that's all. Well lets keep going, the dunegon isn't over yet, so lets continue exploring."

Crest-"I agree."

Kat-"Yea!"

Crimson-"On with the dungeon."

*Suddenly a growl is heard above, as Crest and all look up, to see a small steel legged spider. It spins a web and falls down towards Crest' arms*

Crest-"wha?!"

???-"Are you my master?"

Crest-"Master?"

Shadowfyre-"What a really...weird day."

*Everyone laughs and the spider giggles and laughs with us....*

???-"I'm Zigear, master. I'm yours forever."

Crest-"Wow, my own guardian. I think that spider we fought was this lil' critter. hehe. Cool."

Shadowfyre-"Congrats Crest!"

Kat-"hehe, cute....even though I hate bugs."

Crimson-"Cool."

Udario-"Wow, nice to meet you Zigear!"

"So where do we go next?" Flare asked from Crimson's sholder. "Actually I'm not sure myself; where is the other exit from this room" Crimson then replied. The group then began serching the large room for another exit, and, after a couple moments, one was found.
"Hey guys! come look at this" Crest said. As the group got closer, he continued "Vroka must've hidden it behind her throne." Crest then said as he got the help of Crimson and Shadowfyre to finish pushing.

As the throne stood aside, they saw the door behind it, and upon entering, they gazed upon the wonder of the next rooom. It was large and had windows rolling across every part of it, it also contained three portals which were unactivated. two in the middle of the footbal-field sized room, and the other protecting the door.

The group began with the two in the middle of the room. The two released 2 scoirpion tanks, 2 rock heads, and a red wyrm.
"Well, you guys ready?" Crest asked. He recieved three nods and the battle was started. Crimson decided to take the red wyrm. As Crimson neared, the wyrm thrusted it's claw at Crimson, but quickly jumping out of the way, Crimson dodged.
"Hmmmm, if i remember correctly, your a fire type, so let's cool you down, RUE KRUZ!" Crimson yelled as the wall of water collapsed onto the enemy. Next, while it was weakened Crimson cast Ani Don, to almost destroy it. But, not paying attention. The wyrm's claw caught his right arm, snapping it at the elbow. Yet, wincing in pain, Crimson could still get out a smart remark.
"Your unlucky, I'm left handed" he said as he finished it off with Rue Zot.

Weakened, but still ok, Crimson turned to see how the others were fairing.

Crest took on the Scorpion tank. The Scorpion tank lunged its tail at Crest, Crest leaped in the air and landed on the Scorpions stinger,Crest began to run up the tail, he then flipped and cut its tail off in mid-air, Crest landed on the monsters head and yelled,"Calamity"as the monster turned black, and faded away.

Zigear-"Good job,Master."

Crest-"Uhhhh thanks little spider companion."

Zigear"No problem."

Crest looked over at Shadowfyre as he finished off two creatures. Everyone then looked over at Kat. Kat was victory dancing around the monster she had defeated.

Kat-"Why is everone looking at me."
Crest-"Uhhhh nevermind."

The party ran into the next room which simply had a stairway leading down, the party quickly ran down the stairs and into the next room as a shadowed figure appeared.

Crest-"What is that?"

Shadowfyre-"I dunno."

Crimson-"I have a bad feeling about this."

The shadow went to the wall and touched it immediatly fusing itself with the wall the shadow then zoomed over and grabbed Crest and pulled him into the wall with him.

All-"Crest!!!"

The Shadow moved again and pulled Shadowfyre into the wall too.

Kat-"Shadow!!"
Crimson"Shadowfyre!!"

Kat ran closer to the wall, and Roka jumped off her shoulders.
The little cat sat in front of it and twiched her tail.

It isnt solid, should we follow them?

'But what would happen to us?'

I dont know everything, but what would happen if we stay here?

'Roka, why is it- why is it that the yucky thing didnt grab us?'

The cat looked back at the two wavemasters then back at the wall.

It must not like you magic people

Kat leaned on her Water Wand.
'Crimson?, What should we do?'

'Maybe we should go, Vroka might come back again'

Kat walked up to the wall and put her hand through the blackened wall
and back out again, leaving a tar like substance on her skin.
'Well... here goes'

(ooc: ><Im gonna rename neko, hes suppost to be a guy,XI)

*Shadowfyre and Crest fall into a darkness pit, feeling the air fly between them, but could not see the bottom.*

Crest-"Uhhh...Shadow? Are we gonna die?"

Shadowfyre-"Hmmm, no."

Crest-"What makes you so sure? We're falling down and I doubtfully know that we'll live at the bottom of the pit, if there is one."

Shadowfyre-"I don't think this pit is a part of Vroka's plan. Hmmm..."

Crest-"It's not? How do you know?"

Shadowfyre-"I don't know, I just have this sense in my body that we're not just falling but, being saved."

Crest-"Wha?!"

*Suddenly the dark hole that Shadowfyre and Crest were falling into, warped into a room with beautiful green grass, roses and flowers sprouting from the grasses. The walls were white and a white circular porch lies on the top of the grassy hill of the room*

Crest-'What is this place? It's so peaceful."

Shadowfyre-"So Beautiful."

*Then a giggle arises from the tall grasses, while Kiki pops up and mingles a wide smile at Shadowfyre. She waves her hand while holding a basket of roses in his other hand*

Shadowfyre-"Oh Kiki!"

Kiki-"Hiya Shadowfyre. I would love you to see my wonderful secret home."

Crest-"Home? As in, you live here? In this dungeon?"

Kiki-"No silly. This is my room which is locked from other players on the Net. No one can come here but me, but I can invite other players into my wonderul home, like how I've done to you."

*Kiki walks to Shadowfyre and looks up at him, showing him the roses that she has plucked*

Kiki-"I plucked these roses for you Shadowfyre, my shooting star."

Shadowfyre-"Wha? Uhhh...thanx."

*Shadowfyre takes a rose and stares at it slowly, suddenly up in the room warped a vortex of darkness and Kat and Crimson fell down. Falling beside Shadowfyre and Kiki.*

Kat-"Ow, my butt hurts. Hehe. Oh! Kiki?!"

Crimson-"I agree, my rear is painfully pounding. Hm? Oh Kiki?!"

Kiki-"Oh it's Shadowfyre's friends. I'm sorry I didn't invite you earlier."

Kat-"Oh that's ok, I think. Where are we?"

Crest-"At Kiki's hacked home."

Kiki-"Hey, hacked sounds a bit bad if I say so myself!"

*She grins*

Crest-"Oh I'm sorry, I meant...this is Kiki's wonderful home."

Kiki-"That's better." *giggle*

Shadowfyre-"So how do we get back to the dungeon and get our treasure?"

Kiki-"Oh you want your treasure? Ok, I'll send you at the last room in a minute."

Crest-'Why not now kid! We're wasting time here!"

Kiki-"Hey, quiet! I...I wanna give Shadowfyre something first."

Shadowfyre-"Hm? Me?"

*Kiki slowly gets closer to Shadowfyre and he looks down at her. She puts her arms around Shadowfyre's legs and puppy dogs her eyes at him. She blushes.*

Kiki-"I can't wait any longer, before I let you all go. I would love to..."

*Kiki, hops up and kisses Shadowfyre's lips softly, Shadowfyre's cheeks slowly turn red*

Kiki-"Hehe. That didn't seem hard. Well like I promised, I'll bring you back to your dungeon. k?"

*She giggles*

Kat-"Wow, Shadowfyre got kissed."

Crimson-"Hehe, looks like she likes you Shadow."

Crest-"More than like...she loves him!"

Kiki-"Righteo! Hehe. Ok, 1...2...3...time to go back!"

*Kiki whistles and the black portal on the cieling appears again, and suddenly all of us are sucked into it, instead of falling, we're rising quickly into the dark hole. In a few seconds, all of us reach back where we were, the last room of the dungeon and the gott door lies beyond us. Everye pats off the dust from there clothes, and looks at Shadowfyre*

Kat-"Ready Shadow?"

Crest-"Hey Shadow, you look red. What's wrong?"

Crimson-"Still stunned from the kiss, hehe."

Shadowfyre-"Uhh..uhh...*clears throat*...Ok, anyways lets continue our dungeon, we're so close to the gott statue, now lets get there before anything else happens guys!"

Kat-"Right!"

*All of them march forwards to the last door to the Gott statue, just a few more feet.......*


(In the mind of Shadowfyre-------->"Did Kiki just kissed me? It felt like a dream, but real at the same time. Does she love me? Can love exist in a game, do I even exist, period? I'm confused, but I'm not gonna let that bother me or my friends. Kiki seems cute by the way, hmmm....maybe I should give her a chance.")

The party walked into the next room as Crest kicked open the Gott statue....

Kat-"Finally this thing is over"

Shadowfyre-"For now."

Crimson-"I am just glad to leave"

Crest-"Ya after this dungeon im gonna take a long nap."

..............
I see how well checking my me for guardians yes or no is working out.
Crest, I'll allow your guardian, but the teleportation range is limited to within places you can see. Crimson's flare was ok'ed by me but he did never ask me about that one either. The shapeshifting seems ok for now.

Crest +guardian +1lv. +Curing Sword
Kat +350gp
Crimson +350gp
Shadowfyre +1lv. +Fossil Bracer
