The regalia pulled into the lestallum outpost. Ignis parked in the parking spot, and all four of them hopped out of the car.

"Think we could grab some cup of noodles?" Gladio asked elbowing Ignis lightly in the ribs, looking at a truck in the distance.

"Possibly after a hunt, but we have expended the last of our funds," Ignis stated only getting a sigh from the shield. The four walked into town only the chattering of peppy towns people filling the silence. After a few minutes of walking they made it to the center of the marketplace. The restaurant was only a few feet away, so they strolled up to the old man running it and asked him about the hunt.

"sure you're up to it?" The old man asked glancing at the four. All he got in response was a slow but sure nod from Ignis. "Alright well, make sure you stalk up on some potion, ehh." With that the boys walked back to the Regalia and set off to the dungeon behind the waterfall.

"Ugh, are we there yet?" Prompto asked with a loud, obnoxious sigh.

"Could you shut up Prom, I'm trying to read." Gladio grunted full of annoyance. He turned a page of his book and glanced over at the napping prince. Suddenly a freckled face was in front of his, as the blond was already turned around in his seat.

"Whatcha readin?" He asked scanning the book in the shield's hands.

"Why don't ya play some king's knight and stop bugging me," he snapped shoving the blonde's face making him almost hit his head on the windshield.

"Yeesh," he muttered sitting back in his seat. A few seconds of silence passed before boredom overcame him. He started flipping through different songs in the radio only listening to a few seconds before changing it again.

"Prompto, please." Ignis demanded with an annoyed tint.

"Is this like team up on Prompto day?" He whispered to himself under his breath. "hey noc-,"he started but he was cut off by the light snores produced by the prince. He sighed and just looked out the window.

The regalia pulled into a small outpost with just a gas pump and a small convenient store. Gladio gave the prince a tough shove making him jolt awake. The shield ignored all the annoyed groans and got out of the car, and the other three followed.

"Should we resupply our curritives?" the advisor asked glancing over at the small store.

"Nah, we'll be fine," noctis answered patting Ignis on the shoulder. Ignis shrugged his shoulders and they started toward the waterfall. After sometime of walking they made it, and they needed to take a moment to take in the beauty of it all. "Wow" Noctis whispered fully enchanted.

"Sure takes your breath away, huh," Gladio grunted. "We should get going you ready?" He asked the prince. The prince nodded and started up a path as the others followed closely behind. When they get to the top a wide opening behind the waterfall.

"We're going, in there?!" Prompto asked letting a shudder run through this body.

"What are ya scared of the darkness?" The prince asked letting out a small chuckle.

"Would not be surprised knowing Prompto's extensive list of phobias." Ignis stated pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"No, just think of what nasties are in there," Prompto said swallowing a lump in his throat.

"Nothin we can't handle," Gladio grunted walking forward and grabbing Prompto's shoulder, pulling him forward. Once inside the cave the temperature dropped.

"It's freezing in here," prompto stated shivering. The others hummed in agreement and went on with the task at hand. After they walk for a little bit a familiar purple hue came from the ground.

"Told ya, nasties," the boy hissed summoning his gun, and the others followed summoning their own weapons.

"nothin we didn't sign up for," gladio said being the first to attack the woman with the legs of a spider. A couple tiny spiders popped up, but the big focus was on the Arachne. Without a second to think about what he was doing, Noctis' giant sword impaled the giant spider woman. The others spent time on the smaller version of a giant spider. It was the last one and Prompto was on it.

"I got it," prompto yelled pointing his gun. He was to slow and the spider jumped at him, knocking him over. The two venomous fangs dig into is left hand. The world around him started to spin before everything goes black, floating in the nothingness of unconsciousness.
