Metal met metal and the battle began.
"Stop it! We're not looking for a fight!" Alfonse yelled in vain, narrowly avoiding a stab in the abdomen for his troubles.
"Alfonse forget it, these guys won't listen to reason. I remember something similar happening when your father showed me Nóatún! It's a test, just cut them down and the room should let us leave!" Anna ordered "Sharena, be careful!"
"Ahh, this is all the Commanders fault!" Sharena cried, dodging a magical attack and a lance thrust.
"I'll hang you by your pigtail!" Anna yelled, cutting down the eye-patch wearing Bow Fighter with relative ease. She didn't like relying on Nóatún's abilities that much, but...
"Commander!?" Sharena let out a startled cry when Anna warped behind her and flung Nóatún at the Lance fighter trying to skewer the princess. The divine weapon shattered the aquatic looking solider, like glass, before digging into the wall from the force used to throw it. However, there were still two more enemies left and the commander was now without a weapon!
"No!" Sharena cried before her body moved on it's own and she jammed her Steel Lance into the Green Mage's heart. The woman didn't budge, and to Sharena's horror began charging up a spell, but she was stopped by Alfonse appearing out from behind and beheading her.
"Looks like we held our own rather well" Anna said, pulling Nóatún out of the wall, and walking over to the siblings sides. "So? How did you two like your first experience fighting human like opponents?
"They weren't real?" Sharena asked, Anna made a face.
"Sharena... People don't normally shatter like glass."
"It was informative." Alfonse replied, That sword unit had showed him just how lacing he truly was. "Still, I'd rather not experience that again, may we please head back?"
"Now, now, what just happened proves that we hit the jackpot." Anna began, "As you know I first received Nóatún during a trip with your father, he was originally hoping to give it to his best man but it chose me instead. However, something not so different from this happened during the selection ceremony. The fact that it happened here implies..."
"Implies that a Vassel Weapon is near."
"Precisely."
"I see, if father finds out we decided to ignore something like this..."
"He'll be pissed..."
The two stood awkwardly as they wondered about their next move.
"Hey, hey, what are you two talking about?!" Sharena asked, she hated being left out of the loop! Suddenly she noticed that something was very wrong. The door leading to the staircase hadn't opened. Also...
"Guys... Are we moving?"
"What?" Alfonse asked "What do you mean Sharena?"
"We're moving, it's faint but, you can just make out the vibrations." Anna said, hand on the floor.
"What do we do?!" Alfonse asked, nearby Sharena was also panicking.
"Nothing. The room is probably taking us to the Vassel Weapon."
"How can you be so sure?!"
"It's what happened with Nóatún."
"I see."
It seemed like there was nothing the order could do but wait.
