Armos and Kemero opened their eyes, and were surprised to see such a difference form the dark and misty area. It was still dark, though much less than the previous levels, yet it had no lights at all. Even though it was lighter, the third level was extremely mysterious, and provided a more unnerving air than ever before. It was probably due to the fact that everything could be seen again.
The floor was glass, clearer than anything the two had seen before. And below it was something that made Armos and Kemero gulp in fear. It was an organ, just like the kid in Armos and Kemero's bodies. It looked like a heart, as it moved in the rhythm of one, grotesque and mysterious. It was inside a light pink substance, guessed to be some sort of blood.
The walls were curved and a light red, matching the fluid below the two's feet. Nicks and cuts covered these walls, though the reason for them is unknown. On the very top of the walls were strange circular organs protruding. They moved with the organ, exuding a strange, purple fume every time they moved.
Dimly, and only if there was complete silence, which there was, a soft thumping was heard, in cadence with the moving organ.
"…Is this ruin…alive?" Kemero asked, though it was a mere whisper. Armos looked to Kemero, unsure and in fear.
"This is disgusting…we're in a living thing…" Armos added his voice hoarse in his confusion.
"…Let's go…the faster we finish investigating, the faster we get to leave this place," Kemero said, and started for the door, which was made of the same material as the walls. Armos nodded, following quickly behind the ranger.
After passing a short hallway, the generals were confronted with a moderate room of a square shape. Due to the lightness of this level of the ruin, it was easy to see black twinkling lights gather in tiny circles, signaling the generals to get ready for a fight.
The energy surged in extremely tiny circles, and the two expected to see claws, as they were the only thing that would be as small as those. However, they were very different creatures. There were four small, metallic looking spiders with no head, and were at the height of Kemero's knees, and had the length of an arm.
Suddenly, they lifted in the air, about five inches, and began moving at fast paces while in the air. The two generals looked about themselves as they spread to the four corners of the room. They came in contact with the floor once more, and they didn't move.
"What the…" Armos began, until four glowing balls of photon came out of the top of the spiders. They were connected with a very thin metal pipe, which was much smaller than the green photon itself. Suddenly, energy gathered in those photon balls, and four beams were shot across the room. Thinking quickly, Armos pulled himself and Kemero down, letting the blasts barely miss.
"These are strange creatures…" Armos commented. The spiders let the photon balls move inside the bodies once more, and the generals were at ease. "…But they'll be a piece of cake."
"I bet you just jinxed us right there," Kemero muttered, smirking. Suddenly, a sharp pain came into both Kemero and Armos' backs, and the two noticed quickly that the spiders had shot at them, this time successfully hitting. They fell on one knee, both of them clutching their bleeding backs.
"See?" Kemero said, sighing. Armos didn't say anything besides a quick Resta to heal the wounds. Standing once more, the generals noticed the spiders began to move again, moving at an almost too quick to see rate.
"Hey Armos…" Kemero began, waiting for the gunner spiders to start their shooting. "Do you think I could do this alone?"
Armos stopped and looked at his partner for enlightenment.
"I just want to see if I can fight by myself," he explained quickly. Just after he spoke, beams were shot, and Kemero rolled out of the way while Armos did the same, except for the door they had entered through.
"Alright, don't die," Armos said, now through the door, and in the hallway. It closed behind him, leaving Kemero to fight for himself. Smirking, he lifted up his Varista, ready to test his skill.
The gunners shot another round of blasts, and Kemero rolled to the left, dodging all of them. He began shooting the gunners, but their armor was too strong, and their photon blasters were already inside of them.
How am I supposed to kill them if they don't even get hurt from my gun? He wondered, waiting. The gunners kept moving with their pattern, moving to corners of the room and blasting twice. Kemero shot a gunner before it was about to shoot its own blast and it directly hit the green, glowing photon. It coiled, backing even further into the corner, and Kemero smirked.
Hit their little blasters… he muttered in his thoughts. But I can only take one at a time…and I can't keep track of the one I shoot…they move too fast.
His mind working over the details of battle, Kemero continued to dodge the blasts, becoming tired of the monotonous pattern. Suddenly, he caught sight of a red photon blast rather than a green one. Targeting it, Kemero shot it quickly before it could shoot a blast. He looked about himself, and noticed every other gunner was in the same coils s the red one.
So the red controls the rest… he smirked, and waited for it to begin moving again. When it did, however, the red turned into green, and it was a normal gunner.
"Crap…" he muttered, looking about for it. In his search, Kemero forgot to duck under the blows, and got hit by all for blasts in the stomach. Yelling a curse, Kemero fell to one knee, clutching the reddening wound. He found the red gunner, and shot it down with three quick bullets, and it died, falling to its side and turning into a pile of photon and purple blood.
Three more…I can do this… Kemero thought, preparing for the gunners to move. They did as he expected, and with only three, Kemero sniped down the second red gunner. HA! Who's a better guns man now?
Smirking, Kemero pulled out his giant gun, fully loaded after he placed some special ammo in it during the break before entering Ruin 3. Wincing at the pain of his stomach, however, Kemero staggered a moment before he shot a gunner which was perfectly open. He was forced to roll out of the way of two gun shots before he could shoot a huge blast of a bullet at the gunner.
He did so successfully, blowing it to smithereens in an instant. Love this gun, he thought before shooting down the next gunner. Silently cheering for himself, Kemero walked through the door Armos had, and showed him the empty room.
"Nice job," Armos said after a moment, giving an approving nod. He noticed the wounds and quickly healed the wound with a word from his mouth and the flick of his hand. "Were they hard?" Kemero smirked, looking back through the open door at the battle ground, enjoying his victory.
"Not really, just really annoying," he replied, and stepped through the door and the room into the next one, a smile still on his face.
"I bet I could beat you at fighting now," he blurted after awhile of silence as they walked into a new empty room.
"Are you on drugs? You think you can beat me?" Armos asked, folding his arms and giving the ranger a shake of his golden head.
"Yeah…I just want to spar real quickly," Kemero replied, pulling out his Varista. Armos laughed and pulled out his giant, metal blade.
"You, my friend, are making a huge mistake," he remarked before he began to dash at Kemero, his sword raised.

Dear Journal,
Never fight Armos unless you are an idiotic psychopath. Trust me; you'll have fifty cuts all over you before you can lift a finger. I'm still pretty sore, but I'm happy with my results. I got a total of five bullets in him.
Anyways, besides the one-sided match, I had a great day. I was able to kill these spider things all by myself! They were a new monster, and I wanted to test my strength, so I told Armos I was to fight alone. He complied, and I owned those gunners easily…kind of. I got a couple wounds, but Armos was able to cure them after, so it's no big deal.
Guess what?! We are in the last section of the ruin! We're almost done with this horrid place! It's the grossest section of the ruin too. It looks like it's alive, with organs beneath glass and everything. I get really freaked out when I look at the floor. If you are ever psycho enough to go into the ruin, don't ever look at the floor, just look straight ahead.
Well, I'm dead tired. Good night.
Kemero

Journal,
I continue to think over strange things as I go deeper and deeper into this hellhole. I have found a monument that has a strange inscription. It says that every fifty years, everyone will die…I think that is explaining that the Dimenians come around every fifty years or so…
It also says 'those unknown will be heroes' or something to the likes of that. It's talking about Kemero's people. It also says that someone indigenous to this planet will choose salvation or hell to what he or she pleases. And then it says that IDOLA is coming.
What is IDOLA? I shudder to think of the possibilities.
Good night.
Armos
