"Haruto, where are you going?" Umairi questioned. "To find Yoko." He replied, the worry and anger obvious in his tone.

Yoko

Yoko brought her sword down in a slash, killing the giant spider attacking her. One down, about twenty more to go. Yoko was currently in the floor dungeon on the fourth floor. She was going to complete it by herself, and by herself only.

Not many other people had mapped out the cave, so Yoko was mostly in the blind on where she was. After half an hour of fighting spiders, Yoko finally reached a giant entry way. The door frame was rock and the actual doors were dark wood. It looked like the first floor boss door.

She pushed on the door and it opened without resistance. She hesitantly walked in.

Umairi

"Have you seen a girl about yay high with shoulder length white hair?" Umairi nervously asked the passerbyer. He shook his head and continued walking.

Umairi continued this process for almost an hour with no luck. The sun had just risen over the edge of the first floor. Umairi opened up his menu and shot a message to Haruto.

Haruzilla

Any luck with finding Yoko? I've got nothing.

Umairi tapped send and the response came almost immediately.

Umairi

Yes, She's was last seen entering the fourth floor labyrinth. Meet me at the Inn.

Umairi raised an eyebrow, how'd Haruto figure out where she was so fast? He shrugged off the thought and made his way to the inn.

With the Christmas season around the corner everyone felt happier, yet sadder at the same time. Many people were probably missing their families and friends has of now, Umairi was no exception.

Has he walked, an image of last year's Christmas popped into his head. His three year old brother who looked nothing like him with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. Riku looked almost exactly like his step dad.

His mother, with her long brown hair and brown eyes, who looked just like Umairi. His father, a bald American who met his mother when he was in the United States Navy. Umairi's unsociable younger sister who looked like him. Umairi may say he doesn't like her, but deep down, he truly does love his family.

Were they preparing to celebrating without him right now, not even caring Umairi was gone. Umairi was experiencing a serious case of homesickness.

He rounded the corner of the street and spotted Haruto and Keiko standing anxiously under the Inn's sign. "Oi, you ready to go!?" Haruto called when he spotted him. "Yes!" Umairi cried back.

When he reached them, Haruto immediately turned tail and started to jog. "Hey, Haruto, where are we going?" Keiko asked as she tried to stay pace with Haruto.

"Teleportation Gates." Haruto answered.

The group continued in silence, making their way through the crowded streets of the town. "Haruto, how'd you find out where Yoko was?" Umairi asked while worming his way through the the streets. "Argo told me." He replied Monotone like.

"Who now?" Umairi asked, he'd never heard of an Argo before. "The Rat." Haruto finished off has he turned and entered into the crowded Teleportation Hub.

Haruto spent no time waiting and quickly entered the portal and shouted "Lobria!" Umairi and Keiko did the same, soon appearing on the fourth floor. Haruto wasted no time and sprinted as fast as he could to the rumored location of dungeon.

Umairi, being of faster build then Haruto, easily stayed pace with the running teen. Keiko could obviously has well, since she was speed build. (A/N It should be pretty obvious)

Umairi looked at his surrounding has a jogged, there weren't very many trees nearby and the grass with thick and about ankle height. It kind of reminded of the first floor.

Haruto slowed his pace has the entrance became visible. It looked just like the average dungeon entrance. "Hey, Haruto, I need to rest." Keiko stated as she leaned over slightly.

The teen ignored her and entered the dungeon. "Hey wait, Haruto." Umairi called but was simply ignored. "Haruto." No response "Haruto!" Umairi this time yelled his name.

His friend turned around, not saying a word. "Haruto, we know you want to save Yoko, but we need a quick break." Umairi spoke urgently.

"If you won't help me save her, I will." Haruto sternly stated. He turned around and entered the cave. Keiko and Umairi quickly caught up to him. When they entered, they found all the traps and monster spawns had been reset. Umairi was really starting to question of the information Haruto had received was correct.

The group ignored most of the monsters by sprinting past them, and throwing random skills and anything that moved. Has they ran, the group still encountered no Yoko. Umairi could tell Keiko was starting to think the same thing he was.

After what felt like hours of running, the group finally stopped, they had encountered the boss room. Haruto stopped his pace and looked at the door.

"Hey, Haruto, I guess-" Keiko tried to comfort him, but was shaken off. Umairi was also feeling a sense of dread forming in his gut.

Maybe he shouldn't have rejected her. Had he made the right choice? All these thoughts were flying through Umairi's head, until something unexpected happened. Haruto attempted to open the boss door.

"Whoa! No Haruto! We can't risk it!" Keiko cried has she tried her best to restrain Haruto. He easily shook her off and stomped to the door.

Umairi had to do something. A plan quickly formed in his head. Umairi ran forward and tackled Haruto, throwing him to the ground. The teen struggled with Umairi has he forced Haruto's head down.

"Stop...fighting!" Umairi grunted out has tried to force the bigger person to the ground. "Ahh!" Haruto yelled has pulled out his sword from his side and thrust it into Umairi's side with a basic sword skill.

Umairi lurched back has a quarter of his health went away. Haruto got up and glared at Umairi has the injured teen pulled the sword out of his side. Keiko ran to Umairi's side and asked "Are you alright." While staring down Haruto, anger in her eyes.

Haruto ignored her death stare and opened the door. It swung open effortlessly and when Umairi peaked inside, he was surprised. Yoko was running around the boss and throwing attacks into it.

Said boss looked to be modeled after a giant. It wielded a humongous bone shaped club which easily towered over Umairi.

The boss's grey hair fell down to his shoulders. It kind of reminded Umairi of the giants in an old video game called the Elder Scrolls.

Haruto quickly grabbed his back up sword and charged Into the room. Not another boss fight.

A/N nothing new, hope you enjoyed. Bye!
