For those of you wondering why I uploaded more stuff that isn't this stinking story I've been playing up, it's because I can't finish it. I still need two guild members to give me screenshots of their characters so I can write in their descriptions. Once I get that done, I need to send everyone an e-mail of the chapter. After that I will upload it. Oh well.

Onto this story. It's just a random idea I had. The implied pairing is Aisha and Chung. I am just having fun, so no hate reviews. Technically AU since I don't think Chung ever went to Bethma.

Elsword: My Shining Knight

Elsword: Sword Knight

Aisha: High Magician

Rena: Combat Ranger

Raven: Not in this story. Deal with it -w-

Eve: Code Exotic

Chung: Shooting Guardian

"Gah, why is it so hot here?" Elsword complained as he flopped onto the ground. Rena slumped to the ground next to him, drenched in sweat. "I can't take another step... it's too hot."

"I concur." Eve said, taking a seat in the shade of a nearby rock formation. Her drones flew about her, running various system diagnostics. "System Error Detected. Executing Scan." Moby said. Remy followed up a few seconds later. "Error Identified. Overheating caused from exposure to temperature greater than the effective range of Eve's cooling systems." The two flew in front of her, and simultaneous spoke. "Recommended Solution: Avoid engaging in battle until Eve's systems have cooled down."

Chung stood facing the entrance to Dragon Nest, seemingly unaware of the immense heat. "Chung," he heard Rena say, "Let's listen to Eve's drones. Come on, aren't you hot?" He turned to her, looking at the amusing sight of Rena trying to squeeze her body into a small spot of shade. "Actually, this isn't that bad. Hamel gets pretty hot in the summer. I'm just a little warm, at best."

Elword lifted up his head. "Come on, man! I'm hot! Rena's hot! Eve's hot! Take a break!" He complained until he noticed Aisha standing over him. "Quit your belly-aching. The longer we wait, the more time Kayak has to build his lizard army!" Rena groaned, slowly standing up. "Well, she does have a point." Eve stood up too, despite the warnings of her drones. "Eve! Your systems have not cooled down enough to handle more conflict."

"Then find another solution." She said, her voice exhibiting traits similar to the human sensation of "irritation". The twin bots immediately began scanning her again.

"Alternate Solutions: Searching...New Solution found. Increase restrictions on combat systems to allow for more power directed to the cooldown system."

"Execute alternate solution."

Elsword groaned. "Man, there is no why I can fight well like this, but I don't seem to have a choice." He said as he stood up, slouching from exhaustion. Aisha looked happily at the group.

At least they know what comes first. She smiled as she summoned several ice crystals and levitated them close to her friends. "Aaah, that's nice. Thanks Aisha." Elsword said with a relieved sigh. Rena's eyes shined at Aisha with gratitude, and Eve seemed to smile, if only for a second.

They all walked into the cave. Aisha had taken the lead, using a Detect spell to try and find any nearby enemies. "Aisha, why are you unaffected by the climate?" Eve asked. Aisha just smiled happily. "Well, we mages have affinities. These affinities give us natural grasps on certain spells and resistance to it's effects. My affinity is Fire. So, I'm naturally resistant to burns and hot temperatures." She suddenly stopped, sensing something up ahead. "Hang on...I sense several Lizardmen up ahead. And they're of the Saurus variety."

The group readied their weapons. "So, anyone got a plan?" Chung asked loading his cannon. "Well," Aisha thought aloud, "they are grouped together. It would be easier to separate them...I think I may be able to get close enough to use Meteor Call. Then we can fight 'em one by one while they are still surprised."

"Alright, let's do that. We'll wait until we hear you cast the spell, then come in." Elsword said. Aisha nodded, and began to creep towards the enemy. She finally got a look at the group. Six Lizardmen Sauruses, and they were alert. She motioned towards the group to take a side path. She saw them head down the path, and watched the exit, which was right behind the Lizardmen. Shortly afterward, she noticed a light shining from the tunnel, the sign that the group made it and was ready. She summoned her meteor, and hurled it at the group.

"Meteor Call!" The Lizardmen had no time to react as the flaming rock landed in the middle of them, exploding and killing two of them in the process. The remaining four were blown into the corners of the room. Chung, Rena, Elsword, and Eve each took on one of them, with Aisha casting buffs on each of them to keep their attacks strong. Elsword finally caught one Lizardman's club, and knocked it sideways, easily giving him a killing blow, while Rena was unloading arrow after arrow into her's, the creature still barely alive. A quick kick to its skull bent its neck at a sharp angle, and it stopped moving entirely. Eve had already finished of her Lizardman with several strong skills. Chung had been having a bit of trouble out maneuvering his Lizardman, but finally got behind it, blowing several cannonballs through the back of its skull.

"That was too easy!" Elsword grinned. Aisha was about to agree when she felt a sudden tug on her leg. When she looked down, she saw a dark puddle under her feet. Black vines rose out of it, wrapping around her legs, pulling her into the puddle. She screamed, and the vines seemed to react by pulling even harder. Her friends jumped to her aid, trying to pull her out of the puddle. However, the vines just seemed to pull ever harder. She saw her friends losing their grip, one by one.

"Aisha!" Chung yelled at her, being the only one still with a hold on her. "Hold on! I'm going...I'm going to get you out of there!" She felt herself getting deeper and deeper. All that remained above the puddle was her head. Then she heard Chung give a roar of effort as he went into Berserker mode. She felt herself get higher. He was pulling her out! "I...got...you..." Chung strained to say. Aisha then heard Elsword scramble to his feet. "We got company!" He shouted.

What happened in the next 3 seconds for Aisha was a blur. First she heard several Lizardmen cries and roars. Then, she felt Chung's grip and strength waver. Immediately after, she saw a Lizardman's spear sticking out of his stomach. He bent over in pain, only being able to gasp out a faint "no..." before the darkness pulled her in and surrounded her. Tears flooded her vision. "Chung! No...he's hurt and it's all my fault. But..." She turned around in the weightless void of black, and she found that she seemed to be underwater. "Where am I? And, if I'm underwater, how am I breathing?"

"Well, well, well. It seems that the little girl has finally come back." A voice cackled. "Aisha, my darling...ready to return?"

I don't really have much to say about this chapter...*starts thinking of how to write chapter 2*
