(Jennifer POV)

I walked deeper and deeper into the dark labyrinth, following Honson and Joseph as they cleared the way of the huge groups of monsters while we took care of the stragglers that get left behind. Even with everyone by my side, I felt scared. My eyes kept wandering around, checking and rechecking all the holes that monsters have appeared just to make sure there wasn't any left. The thought of losing another friend was too much.

With all the deaths of monsters, the ground had been covered with mesos and items. There was barely enough light to see anymore, but Honson had been able to counter and kill all the monsters that set an ambush ahead of us.

The huge group was now in a tight twins would now be on the sides, while Luna was in between our group and the two high levelers. Daryl was in the back now, killing the weaker monsters that slowly followed us. I stayed in the middle to heal anyone that had received wounds.

After all the chronoses had retreated, we were useless. The higher level soul teddies appeared in groups of six or seven and floated towards us. Our attacks did almost nothing and it just created angered mobs of glowing teddies screaming for blood.

"DUCK!" shouted Joseph to Alyssa.

Alyssa ducked in the nick of time, dogging a swipe from a teddy. Joseph plunged his sword into the face of the teddy bear, leaking ectoplasm and cotton everywhere on Alyssa.

"Thank you" Alyssa said almost in shock.

"Hey no problem, so your Alyssa right? You know, for a second jobber you look pretty h–"

"Joseph! Can you stop hitting on girls for two seconds?" Honson shouted from the front as he slices two more teddies into shreads.

"I'm not, you dick! I'm just making conversation!" Joseph shouted back thrusting his sword into another teddy.

"Now is not the time for your shit." Honson replied back to him.

Right when Joseph and Honson were handling multiple teddies each, several teddies came out of a hole behind us and charged at me. Both Joseph and Honson were too far away to stop what was coming. That's when Daryl jumped in the way and took multiple hits in the chest. Before he hit the ground Honson had appeared in front of us slaying all of them, while Joseph caught him before he landed on the ground.

"DARYL!" I shouted.

"Hey, you…ok?" Daryl moaned out of him, coughing up some blood onto his broken yellow Jangoon armor. The cuts were deep and blood was gushing out of them.

"Daryl! No hang on! Don't worry I'm going to heal you." I said, now supporting his head.

But the wound looked terrible. Blood was forming a puddle near my feet, staining my Brown Moonlight. He had streaks of blood flowing from his mouth and his grasp on my hand was slowly weakening. I raised my staff over his wound and shouted "Heal!" His wounds were mending, but it wasn't fast enough. His eyes slowly drooped, closing more and more as the seconds past.

*BOOM*

A wall suddenly collapsed and the air soon filled with dust and dirt. In the smog emerged a huge monster. The beast floated out and let a huge scream, echoing throughout the clock tower. It had ancient symbols on his armor, and his hands seemed to be made out of black fire. His one eye cycled through all of us, smiling to see his next victims.

Honson and Joseph quickly ran toward the beast and began their attack. Joseph lunged forward shouting "Brandish", striking the enemy twice, both in its chest making an X. After it had fallen a couple feet back it casted a spell and ice spires appeared everywhere on the ground, knocking Joseph all the way to the back. Honson had used assaulter and appeared behind the beast, and had caused a gash to appear on its armor. Dark oozing liquid had begun to flow from the gap and soon dripped all over the floor. Honson jumped up and began slashing the gap, increasing the damage. After a couple of agonizing cuts, it knocked Honson out of the air and into a pile of rubble.

After it had caught its breath, it looked toward me and Daryl. It charged at us toward us. The twins began throwing tobis at the beast but it had down no damage, only flicking off the armor.

It began to cast other spell, gathering all the mana around it, preparing to release it all at once. All the happy memories flooded into my mind. All those monsters we killed, the quests we've done, and the hang outs we had flashed in my eyes.

But right before the spell was complete, a huge ray of light struck the beast and it began to disintegrate. When I looked around, several teddies and Chronoses had been hit by a similar beam of light and died, scorched black.

Honson and Joseph were back now and had taken defensive stances around the group. But soon they stared at another ominous figure in the dark. It approached us and soon we all smiled.

An elemental staff had appeared in the light, followed by a gorgeous Timeless Myst Blue gown.

"Hey boys. Did you miss me?" Jen said, winking at Honson and Joseph.
