As Bubba gated in, he looked about at the open expanse of snow around him with some mountains in the distance. The snow was softly falling from the sky refracting the light from the sun into millions of tiny clear rainbows that danced over everything. Even his axe looked new in this lighting, with the careful designs etched into it's sides turning in each direction somehow leaving an impression of being newly forged, even though this axe was very old and usually looked rusty. Bubba trudged onward and saw, that this dungeon was unlike any other he had ever seen before, as he stood at the frozen entrance he looked across the entire dungeon, from it's sweeping decorative icicles to the tall snowy walls that separated each room from the next.

The dungeon itself was in a staircase formation, but it was almost completely open to the air, with a few short tunnels that dug back into the walls connecting various rooms to each other while the snow glided down, concealing many details about the floor and the surroundings, but revealing even more than it hid, for the Gott statue was in plain sight down 5 levels and the swirling battle portals decorated the dungeon somewhat like the lights of a christmas tree.

The field leading to the dungeon was wide and open with a few scattered snowmen and Igloos dotting it's plains with it's own fluidly swirling portals gently glowing in the glittering light. Bubba was thinking of just sitting here staring at the snowfield, instead of completing the level, but instead, he decided to make this level last as long as possible by going after the field portals first.

As Bubba made his way through the snow, it crunched and sank deeply underneath his feet and would have normally caused others to be slowed down, but because he was already a slow traveler, his progress was not slowed down by the heavy snowdrifts as he plodded through them.

The first portal opened in front of his eyes and two strange snowy creatures came out of the portal.
A level 2 Snowy Hare and level 3 Snow Wolf.

The hare could have been cute if not for the large claws on it's hind feet, and the less apparant icy clouds flowing from it's mouth. The Snow Wolf was a sleek traveler in bushy fur that looked somewhat like a well-kept snow coat as it was fluffed in a wide frill aound the Snow Wolf's head and tapered down to it's nearly invisible white tail and large, clawed feet which allowed it to travel quickly across the snow without falling in.

The Snow Wolf was the first to attack as it lunged with it's sleek paws outstretched as if to give a lethal hug, while the Snowy Hare sat back and strangely distanced itself from the battle... Bubba swung himself to the side to avoid direct damage from this attack, but he was badly scratched by the Snow Wolf's claw as it flew by him etching a line in his armour. His axe flew swiftly for the counterattack striking the Snow Wolf along the side and temporarily crippling it, and he pulled his axe around for the finishing blow, when he discovered that he could not do it! His arm was frozen in place and covered by a large ice formation, and at this it suddenly came to his realization that the Snowy Hare was not a direct confronter like the Wolf, rather it was like a Wavemaster in that it sniped it's enemies with spells from a distance! Bubba frantically struggled with his arm and broke it free from the ice, just as the Snow Wolf was preparing for another lunge, it's dark eyes gleamed with the hunt. Bubba frantically countered the lunge with his own strike, straight down the Snow Wolf's snout, and finished off the Wolf... but as he looked around, he could not see the Snowy Hare for it was hiding in the snow..

A medium-pitched voice is heard shouting,"CALAMITY!" is heard as a darkened Snow Hare falls to the ground with a howl. The platium haired swordsman regards his surroundings with a smile, "Cake," he says as he notices his fellow player.

Then...<CRUNCH> he slips on the ice due to the weight of his sword. He looks like a Snow Wolf that just encountered an avalanche. His white hair blending into his surroundings. He is a Heavyblade. Judging by his grace with his weapon...just starting.

Bubba looked around through the falling snow in the direction of the voice, but he didn't see anything at first, but then as his eyes adjusted to the sight of the snow, he noticed a heavyblade in an extra deep patch of snow struggling to stand up on a particularly icy spot.

"Thanks for the help! I'm Bubba a HeavyAxenam." he said as he helped the Heavyblade to his feet.
"How did you manage to see that Snowy Hare in all this snow? That was incredible how you managed to find and defeat it so fast! You must have had some previous hunting practice or something!" said Bubba in amazement.

After the Heavyblade brushes himself off, he tries to speak, but all that comes out is snow. Then, after the mouth snow flood stops, he says," Name's Ishoni, really, I have little practice with the sword, I sorta' stepped on the Snow Hare and panicked. I guess I'm just lucky. Ha! I'm a ninja with a Great Sword! :lol: Yeah! But...I can't find a path to the dungeon without facing enemies. You saw how close I was to dying! Wolves are out there, I probably would die from a Hare. You look strong... can I come with you? Who knows, maybe some of my luck will rub off on you! :lol: "<Anime sweatdrop after he sees Bubba isn't laughing>

(delayed reaction...) Bubba chuckles a bit.
"Sure you can come with me! This place is strange and the more people here the better! Oh.. and about the dungeon.. Most dungeons are underground, but this particular dungeon is.. well... it's completely above ground, and from the entrance you can see all the way to the end over the dungeon! Even though you can see over the levels in the begining the walls are made so that you can't see over them while you're in the dungeon." said Bubba half talking to himself.

"Well judging how the dungeons in the past have been... the enemies up here are easier than those in the dungeon, so we should practice on the enemy portals out here, untill you get a hang for your blade there!" said Bubba trying to be encouraging.

"Oh.. before I forget.." Bubba cast REPTH on Ishoni which healed Ishoni's health back up to full.

"Well, now let's get into training shall we? So that portal over there looks good, the color indicates weaker enemies than usual." Bubba said pointing to a greenish portal with yellow runes. The second reason he chose that portal from amongst the others was that there wasn't any snowdrifts or ice patches in the area surrounding the portal, which are the perfect conditions for a beginner.

"Hey.. you know.. If you ever get surrounded in this level, you could always throw icy snowballs at your enemies to attack them from a distance, cause I usually like to use the nature of the field to my advantage by throwing rocks and other objects that happen to be laying around!" said Bubba as a little bit of advice.
Ishoni was looking around at the pale snowflakes as they landed, but Bubba didn't know if he heard a word of what he said or not... oh well... Bubba started heading toward the weak portal with a cautious Ishoni trailing close behind, and the portal activated releasing two goblins onto the field.

"Ah.. some goblins, these guys are extremely easy to take out since they don't do much except come directly at you and swing, so you can either slice through their blows with your sword or.. umm.. do something else like dodge." said Bubba.
"Eh.. Okay, but I don't think this blade will move that fast... (swish!) Woa! It moves faster than I thought!" said Ishoni in surprise as he chopped the first goblin in half and knocked the second goblin over.

"Yeah. Your sword's size allows you to hit your enemies before they can get close enough to hit you! Heh.. my stumpy axe puts me right into their line of attack before I can strike. Oh, and don't be afraid to run, because sometimes the best way to attack is HIT AND RUN, cause it has saved my hide more than once!"said Bubba.
Ishoni regained his stability from the last swing and struck again at the second goblin as it got up, but his blade met a block from the goblin's daggers and it just tumbled backwards and landed head-first into a snowdrift some ways off, and was unable to free itself, but finally giving up, the goblin deteriorated as it was finished by the cold.
"I guess the cold can also affect monsters here." said Bubba with some intrest.

" I wish I had ice shoes... then I wouldn't have to worry about the ice Yeah... I noticed the lack of ice here." Ishoni sees another portal...this time, it looks as though ice is present. "Ummm... I think I'll be a little more careful around those."
The two start walking as a rouge Snow Hare attacks. " Ambush!" Ishoni scrabbles around then notices only one is attacking. " I think I'll handle this one." Bubba stares and relaxes, as if signaling Ishoni to go kill. After the Hare comes into range, "Battle Mode" pops up. Ishoni runs forward, wobbling on the ice, but, he regains his balance. He swings and hits, but the hare lashes out. Fortunately, or unfortunatly, The huge sword is lodged it the ice, clanging it's teeth on the flat end of the blade, the hare was sent sliding back, its claws sending specks of frost everywhere. " And now...for the kill!" As the blade comes down on the Snow Hare's neck. " That was easy." Ishoni triumphantly says.

As the duo continues down the dungeon trail, five portals and countless repths afterwards, they arrive at an almost sub-zero pathway. " Are water dungeons always this cold?" Ishoni says to himself, " You would think it would be a swamp or a river." He hadn't taken into thought the cold factor. His breath was starting to show. The monters had seemed to prepared for the cold, fur coats, hats, and hide boots. The Wolves and Hares have started to disappear, the goblins have become more abundant, three or four a portal. Of course these monsters were low level, but, so was Ishoni. Ishoni has started to make use of his skills, mostly double teaming monsters with Bubba. It's really nice to find someone who will help me, thought Ishoni, it's a nice feeling knowing someone has your back.

A yellow light is seen flashing in the distance. Bubba seems to know the source, readying his weapon. Ishoni too prepares for battle, after seeing the three goblins approaching, waiting for the oncoming battle.....

(occ: I think Bubba is away, I'm wrapping it up now.)

Four goblins leap from the portal, swinging wildly. The Goblin hack at the air like psychopaths. Spacks fly everywhere as the ice on the ceiling falls. " HAAAAH!" Bubba yells, stirring the blood of the newbie, who thought he had seen it all, up until now. Ishoni starts to frantically swing, hoping that a goblin is within range. But, none came, the goblins went after a single target with their unsatisfiable bloodthist. Bubba. His axe was too short to take them all on, he had to focus on one, hoping that the goblins' HP was very shallow....

Unanswered was his hope... the goblins were flanking him. preventing any attacks by the Heavy Axeman. A cry of pain was heard when Ishoni had snuck up on one, trying to kill it like the Hare, in one swing from his blade. But, he had forgotten! The Hare was slain by a skill. Darn, he thought, now I'm a target. But, this gave Bubba a chance, for while he was still being flanked, only two were after him. A window of opportunity opened opened. "Repth!" he yelled, healing most of the damage inflicted. While the goblin began to turn back to him, he struck, letting the darkened corpse fall to the ice. "One down," Bubba said. The other goblin seeing his friend fall, flew at him, his mouth foaming with rage. Bubba tried to parry, but his huge axe prevented it. WHAM!!! The sound of dagger against armor rang clearly through the corridors.

Ishoni had his hands full, a noob plus two goblins isn't pretty. The blue stripes on the Steelblade were filled with notchs, the countless goblins the two had faced had begun to take it's effect. Oh sure, once it was taken back to a root town, it would return to normal, but somehow, Ishoni had grown to like the nicks in his sword. Almost like battle scars, Ishoni thought. He was completely unaware that the two goblins had started to raise their weapons. Ishoni became aware and use Calamity on one. It had been thrown back, but Ishoni knew it would be back, ready to strike. Bubba had taught him that. Swinging at the goblin in front of him, Ishoni caught a brief glance at Bubba, who had kill ed one of the goblins and was trying to hit the other. Stupid goblin, Ishoni thought, striking the goblin who stood in his way. Ishoni almost sheathed his sword, then... he noticed the blood and severe lack of HP. He was tring to keep up with the goblin, who had something different about him... his skin! It looked like metal. Bubba had hit him, but his skin prevented most damage. He had to act fast... no time for Repth, Ishoni thought. That leaves me one choice...

"Juk Rom!" said an echo, which seemed to come from everywhere. The goblin wretched and fell. No magic resitance... I should have thought of that earlier. Bubba was busy Repthing, Ishoni cast one to help, his SP low or he would have done more. The duo continued their journey down, then, they entered a room with a floating statue. "What's that THING!?" Ishoni questioned. " The Gott Statue, the reason players come to dungeons." Bubba answered. Ishoni noticed a chest at the base of the "Gott Statue." Bubba went over and opened it wide to recieve it's treasures.

ooc.(eek!.. I spent too much time away! sorry! Oh! this quest isn't over yet!)

As the box opened it shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces, and the statue melted away revealing a hidden hallway..

Ishoni stared at the gaping hole," Unbelievable!" Ishoni cried, " Does the happen often?" The passage seemed to stretch on forever. Though, The World never lets players see the next room. This is one of the times players would use a fairy orb. Ishoni heard a green cloaked Wavemaster talking to another newbie, “Fairy orbs are a players best friend if the player has a specific thing in mind," The Wavemaster smiled then said," Whether it be treasure or monsters."

Ishoni figured it would be a long time before the real Gott statue was reached; Though Ishoni enjoyed the company of another player. It didn't matter how long it took. Ishoni was going to stick to the dungeon.

As Bubba and Ishoni stood looking at the newly opened pathway, Bubba was amazed at the trickery at work in this level!
"No.. I've never seen a dungeon do that before..." he said in amazement.

Bubba looked up at the sky through the falling snow, as he and Ishoni passed through the glacial pathways wandering into new and unknown pathways of the dungeon.
"The dungeon walls look like transparent frozen rainbows, but the constant snowfall prevents us from seeing past them.." said Ishoni in amazement as well.

The pair continued down the corridor into a large room with many sharp, projecting icicles coming out of the floor in random places, and a softyl glowing portal sat in the middle of a small pot of snow. As they approached, the portal flared with light then vanished revealing two Snow Wolves. Bubba ran off to the left while waiving his axe about like he was attacking, the eyes of the wolves shifted back and forth as their seperate minds were being made up about the choice of their target. Their eyes shifted over a strangely still Ishoni, with his sword in an angled pose pointing at the ground, ready to slash if one approaced, then over to a big bumbling axenam who was obviously trying to threaten them away in their opinion...
_____ as in some battle logic was splayed into the dungeon monsters they believed that it could be possible the weaker player (in their opinion) was trying to threaten them into striking at the stronger player who was standing still who would then time the blow to finish them in one hit, so they decided to strike at the player they thought was the weaker of the two... they turned to face Bubba.______
Little did the Snow Wolves realize was that in the time they took to make their decision, they had been corneredin a three way trap, two ways were blocked by players and the third was blocked by some of the razor-like icicles. As soon as Ishoni saw the Snow Wolves turn their backs toward him, he swung his sword from the ready position and smacked the wolves into the icicles causing them to tear much of the health out of the creatures, but that did not discourage them one bit, instead they tried to use strategy to fight back against the two players.
The wolves seemed to be retreating and growling strangely at each other, Bubba took the lead since he had much more health than Ishoni and prepared to strike the Snow Wolves, Ishoni was close behind. The wolves were backed into a corner of the room when suddnely, one wolf launced the other wolf as it lunged, causing a super fast attack that Bubba was unable to react to! POW! The wolf bashed itself hard and headlong into Bubba, causing him to be knocked over and much of his health to drain away, but the Wolf that was launced did not leave without any injury, for it landed on Bubba's dropped axe and slipped into another patch of icicles causing it to loose all its health and fade away, Ishoni saw this as his time to strike! He leaped forward with an upward swing catching the remaining snowy wolf off-guard, and caused it to finally collapse in a defeated howl.

Bubba sat up breathing heavily, "You did good!" he said aloud to Ishoni, "That's much better than when I first tried a dungeon out! Oh.... ouch... eh.... REPTH!" said Bubba healing up most of his injuries, then he used his remaining sp to heal Ishoni up. Then after they sat back and relaxed in the chamber for a while, they set off down the corridor to the next room.

The AI was starting to get smarter, Ishoni thought, the seemed like they were strategizing. Of course, since there levels were still fairly low, so they had many lags in it. Ishoni though this was for the better, since Snow Wolves are natural aggressive in the game. Wouldn't take long to get the crap beaten out of you if this was a level 5 dungeon, Ishoni thought.

"Phew, that was a workout," a relieved Ishoni spoke. The cold had deepened even further. The icicles were becoming bluer and enemies smacked into them were taking more damage. Also, Ishoni noticed a reddish tint in the walls and white fragments of something lying around, the large fragments fit together almost perfectly, the were parfectly once the small fragments were added. Then Ishoni noticed Bubba had started walking again, so he followed the Heavy Axeman.

The two found a portal in the next room, 2 Snow Wolves and a chubby looking goblin. The Snow Wolve attempted to surround the two, trying to make it almost impossible to attack. Ishoni, being the sniper of the group, prevented the wolves from their desire, or at least delayed it. Using Gan Zot, Ishoni flawed the attack, leaving a gap in the stategy. Bubba, taking the opportunity to attack, ran for the injured wolf, but was blocked at a ring of steel. The goblin had been barking orders at the wolves, until his plan of battle was halted, he didn't want it to be destroyed, so he threw himself in front of the wolf, holding is dagger as a defense, creating a notch in the weapon. Unfortunately, the blow knocked him aside. He didn't crash into the walls, but instead, jammed his dagger into the ice. The injured Snow Wolf found his position of attack, then both wolves flung themselves at the players. Ishoni slashed as the the bite of the Snow Wolf closed in on him, killing the Snow Wolf, the injured Snow Wolf. Using the follow-through of his axe, Bubba hit the wolf, but was unable to kill it, so the damage was dealt. As this was going on, the goblin had yanked his dagger out of the ice. and almost into Bubba. Luckily, in an comical scene, the Snow Wolf had hit Bubba with such force, he was knocked down and ended the goblin's life by slipping and dropping the axe on the goblin's head. A quick, "CALAMITY!" destroyed the second Snow Wolf. After Bubba had regained his composure, Ishoni started a muffled snicker. "It wasn't my fault!" Bubba insisted as he was using Repth. This comment made Ishoni burst into a wild guffaw. As the two started to walk again, Ishoni bellowed, "Now I see why so many people play this game!" And again his laughter overtook him.

When both people had finally gotten over the "shock" of the previous events, Bubba tried running ahead to investigate the branching road, but instead of moving, he was running in place on a particularly slippery patch of ice, and when he tilted his head down to look at why he wasn't moving, he fell flat on his face. This didn't help the composure of the scene since Ishoni started laughing again... As soon as the laughter was finished Bubba got up rubbing the back of his head in a bit of embarrasment.

"So which route shall we take? Left or right?" Bubba asked Ishoni.
"Umm.. let's try left!" said Ishoni pointing down a branch of the tunnel.

When they finally got to the room at the end of the tunnel, there was only a small igloo in the center of the room with a large opening, so, scrtatching his head in confusion, Ishoni led the way down the left branch into a small room with a portal, but the only way out was the way they came in... The portal opened up to reveal a small group of 4 goblins these goblins appeared to be nothing special since they just ran in wierd circles the whole time madly slashing at Ishoni or Bubba whenever they got close, but for their stupidity, these goblins had MUCH more health than normal goblins.... so the tradeoff was brains for health... and these golins started to slash wildly in a sheep like approach (if one decides to travel the rest blindly follow in action ect...) and bounced toward Bubba like little bunnies. Bubba chopped at the goblins whenever they came in range, but because of their health, his axe was not able to cut through their hides, only damage them slightly.
Ishoni found it quite fun to herd the goblins around like sheep, basically, he swatted one aside and it would change direction, so the rest of the clot would change direction too.

"Hey... let's play a game with these guys since they don't seem to be too smart! let's have the walls be the goals and the goblin group be the ball.. and we'll try to see how many "goals" we can get before they're defeated!" said Ishoni.
"Eh, Ok let's try that!" said Bubba with intrest in the idea.

They buffeted the "goblin squad" back and fourth, at the start it was easy to deflect the horde back at each other, but as the game went on, the goblins became faster and faster eventually causing the rebound time to be soo fast that they couldn't get to them in time... but more than once Ishoni prevented goals by diving with his blade swinging like a soccer goalie's arms blocking the "ball". Then suddenly the goblin group hit a pole of ice at the edgeof the room and their group broke up into four fast moving goblins.
"Multiball!!" yelled Bubba with excitement.
Now the goblins were hitting the walls all over the place and the score was forgotten in the mess. After talking about a new game idea, Ishoni carved a target about halfway up one of the icy walls, while Bubba built a ramp pointing at the target. The goblins still ran around in a crazy manner :woot: while Both Bubba and Ishoni built a herding lane aimed toward the ramp, when they got the chance they started launching goblns into the lane toward the ramp, where they flew off the ramp and splatted into the wall! Bubba nearly got three bullseyes, but Ishoni actually got one and three of his shots decided to change diredction on the ramp and splatted against the wall backwards!

Eventually all the goblins were defeated and the pair calmed down to think about what to do next.
"Hey, umm.. do you remember that igloo back there? I think our next path might be somthing to do with that igloo." said Ishoni.
"Okay, well then let's check it out!" said Bubba, and they both went back to the room with the igloo.
The igloo was the only thing in sight here so Ishoni entered the igloo looking for clues as to how they might progress, Bubba entered too, but the only path they found was to a single-entranced basement of the igloo that was filled with random stuff..

There were little trinkets all around. It looked like a goblin hideout. "Wolves' teeth, hare claws..." Ishoni paused for a moment,"Ooooo, it's the daggers that goblins use." Ishoni bent down to see it closer. Bubba was examining the shelves of objects. Ishoni stood up and turned to Bubba,"I think that about wraps things up here." Everthing was written in goblin, figures. "I think the right path is wise to trav...." Ishoni's voice trailed off as he picked up a piece of parchment. Ishoni began to read, "It says 'take the right path frozen grove and let the ice guide you.' I wonder what that's supposed to mean?" Ishoni frowned. "I don't know." said Bubba, copying Ishoni's action," But, I think we should go though the right path first, then figure it out."

The duo went back to the fork in the path and this time, took the right path. Another fork in a huge room was encountered, north or south. There were no deciding marks on either side to tell which way to go. "Hmmm..." said Ishoni, "Maybe we should figure the scroll out now." Ishoni started to walk to the center," The ic..." he slipped majorly and flew toword the north passage. When he stopped, his arms were outspead and he looked suprisingly like an arrow." Ih sink whe fund dhe oor," said a muffuled voice, slightly distorted because of the half frozen lips it came from. As Bubba walked past the voice, he said,"Now, we're even." A small moan came from the ice.

As Bubba and Ishoni passed through the doorway, a thin ice grate fell across both of the doorways in the room they had just come from.
"So if we had chose the wrong path, that would have been it..." said Ishoni carefully thinking now.
"Eh... what the?....,"said Bubba as he was hitting the grate curiously with his hand, "This is odd, I've never seen this happen either... I guess this means the only way left now is forward.. and forard is...."he turned around to look down the tunnel again," Well it looks like theres another room down there, soo... let's check it out!"
Ishoni and Bubba walked down the hallway toward the next room somewhat expecting a battle, but when they got into the room, there was only a staircase into the lower floor.

.....Then the strange events really started happening.....

As they entered the lower floors of this dungeon it looked like computers were frozen into the walls, as if some ancient race had once made their command station on this planet... but that was not all, certain things that were not visible from the top came into view, such as pillars and switches. The rooms had numbering on them in some strange form and there was a map of the ship imbedded into the wall. Ishoni looked at it and saw that all of the ice walls that were now around them, were not on the map.
"Well this ice isn't a natural part of this place, that's for sure... Was this some kind of spaceship?" asked Ishoni.
"Why are you asking me? I'm just as confused and according to this map, the Gott statue should be resting on top of the main controll center. I woncer if there's a way into this ship?" said Bubba with intrest.
After looking around for a bit, both Bubba and Ishoni discovered that there were many entrances into the ship, but all of them were apparently sealed by ice...
Then they saw a portal, but when they approached it, it didn't open. it just stayed there glowing and spinning in the snow. There were pillars of strange make all over the room, but they appeared to be on top of the ice.. as Ishoni found out when pushed one and it slid away a small distance.
"Well we could mess with these pillars, but I don't know what that would do exactly" said Bubba as he nervously moved on to the next room. Ihoni followed thinking about the pillars and the portal the whole time.

The next room had a portal that revealed two monsters, a Snowy Hare and a Snow Wolf. The snowy hare tried to run far away, like it's predecessor did, but it was stopped short because of the icy walls as if it itself had not expected the walls down here... Bubba quickly charged at the Snowy Hare while Ishoni played a random game of "sword tag" with the Snow Wolf by jumping and twisting away from the Wolf's attacks while slicing it all over, and even though he wasn't doing much damage through his glancing blows, he had done more damage to the wolf than it had done to him. Bubba slid the rest of the distance to the Snowy Hare accidentally and smashed into it, he would have thought the Hare was flattened had it not repelled him with it's feet a few seconds after the impact, which sent him sliding back a little ways to stop in a snowy patch only inches away from some of those strange razor sharp icicles! Ishoni jumped around behind the Snow Wolf and scored a direct hit to it, causing the wolf to be swatted across the ice and smash into a wall close to Bubba. Bubba regaining his stance he swatted the Snow Wolf after it passed him into the Snowy Hare, and both creatues slid scratching at each other in confusion, Ishoni came and sliced both creatues defeating them. There was another pathway out of this room, but the thought of the pillars and the strange portal was too much of an interesting thing for both Ishoni and Bubba to bear. They backtracked into the room and started fiddling with the blocks. They pushed the blocks this way and that way and finally Bubba shoved one through the portal, but instead of passing through, it stuck in place neatly above one of the squares, so Ishoni quickly caught on, and slid the blocks into a perfet square formation underneath the portal, then the ground shook vaguely and.... *SMASH!!* a wall of ice had been broken by a door opening up. Bubba and Ishoni carefully entered the ship, unsure of whatever they would find inside....

The enrance was an elevator that sent them deep iside the ship, and when the door finally opened, the ship was surprisingly in excelent shape. It was bright and warm inside, plus there were no enemy portals! The hallways were tall and open with bluish metallic rounded walls and a soft velvety carpet in various colors covered the floor, Ishoni started walking down the large hallways looking out of windows into the icy barriers encasing the ship. The maps on the ship were in excellent working condition also but there was one portal inside the ship after a large hallway with many of what seemed to be empty shops, they entered a huge room filled with potted plants and flowers in various decorations and fountains at decorative positions. The portal was one of the warping portals such as those found in Mac Anu and other servers, it was as if this was a server just waiting to be activated.... After sitting in the stunned silence a bit, both characters decided to get to the Controll Center as soon as possible so as to retrieve the Gott statue Items, then explore the ship more.

As soon as both of them found the Controll Center, they saw an elevator that would lead them up to the top of the ship and getting into it, they rode the elevator up to the Gott statue room. *CRUNCH!!* The door to the elevator opened shattering the ice that had blocked this entrance also, but when they stepped outside of the elevator the door shut tght, and a gate fell over the natural entrance the Gott treasure chest locked down tight, and something swooped overhead...
It was a dangerous Glacial Hawk with razor sharp claws and a short range ice breath. Bubba dashed to one side as the hawk aimed it's beak at Ishoni and pulled him out of harms way, as a blast of icy air came out of the Hawk's beak and made a frozen pillar where Ishoni had been standing.
"I think our only real hope to winning this fight" said Bubba, "Would be to throw something at it to stun it, then take it out, even though it's level 2 it's still dangerous to us since we can't get normal strikes in at it!"
The fight continued with the two characters running around like crazy on the floor and the Glacial Hawk was trying to deep-freeze them but each failure caused a strange Ice formation to develop on the floor creating many ramps and obstacles. Bubba threw some bits of ice that he had broken off at the Hawk, knocking it around a bit and one bit hit it's head, causing it to fly in a dazed circle, Ishoni, picking up the large chunks that the elevator broke off, threw them at the Hawk impacting the Hawk's wings and disabling it's flight! Bubba was able to take most of it's health out with two heavy blows, but it's wings healed, and it quickly flew off with it's tiny bit of health left. Ishoni threw a block of ice at it again, but it was prepared for this and froze the block in mid flight, causing it to become heavier and miss the hawk entirely, and the hawk was circling higher than normal now blasting a weakened ice breath from it's heights. Bubba made a plan with Ishoni to launch him (since he was MUCH lighter). When the Hawk finally came around he launched Ishoni up the ramp and he flew up and slashed the Hawk's last life causing it to fall to the ground and decay away... then the pair went over to the Gott statue box and opened the lid, but inside was a bag of keys and some other stuff.

Bubba pocketed the strange keys, and the junk inside the box turned into the real Gott Statue Items.....
Which were......:

Bubba +1lv. +Brigandine
Ishoni +1lv. +safety shoes
