Ch. 11

Raguna POV

Uzuki and I have been walking in here for about 10 minutes. We have fought a few monsters but even though we could still hear the voice we still hadn't found the person in need of help.

"Man I can't believe this person was able to hold the temperature in this place." Uzuki said

"It is kinda chilly, but is bearable even if you don't have warm clothing." I said.

The temperature in this dungeon was very much like it is in fall, cold but not freezing but a little warm. Also this place looked really rundown. There was water dripping from the ceiling and even some stripped wires that sparked on contact with the water. Uzuki and I thought it was a good Idea not to touch that.

"So where do you think this person is?" Uzuki asked and there were some yells of help in the background.

"Judging from the volume of the voice I think we are close." I said and we came into a clear room that showed two more floors going down. "Hello! Can you hear me!?" I yelled when we reached the opened area.

"Is someone there?" the voice asked back. Under closer inspection it was a girl's voice and by the pitch of it, either a student or a young teacher. I'm placing my money on the first choice.

"Yes. We are here to help you. Can you tell us where you are?" Uzuki yelled this time.

"I don't know. Yesterday I walked down a staircase trying to find my way out of here, but I ended up finding a big rat and when I tried to run I twisted my ankle. I can't leave this place. The only thing protecting me is a puddle of electrified water keeping the monsters away from me." The voice yelled back.

"Well find a way down and be right over. Please don't panic." I said.

"Thank you very much." The voice said and then Uzuki and I started moving again.

We found a room with a staircase going down. But the room was infested with monsters, some that looked starved.

"Well Uzuki. You ready for the first real battle in here?" I said drawing my sword.

"You know I am." She said and removed the safety sheath from her Naginata.

As soon as Uzuki and I stepped in the room, a Gigantic Rat noticed us and ran to attack us along with a few ants like the ones in the green ruins. Uzuki attacked the ants and I took the Rat.

"How are you holding up?" I asked dodging some hits from the rat

"These little guys just won't stop coming." Uzuki said.

"Well you better get rid of them quick. There are more where those came from until we take care of the spawner." I said.

"OK" Uzuki said and started attacking the ants quicker.

The rat started getting helped by a few more ants that came to attack me. U split Dueledge into two sword and started attacking a little more serious and took the rat down as well as some ants.

"I'll try to take the spawner out." I said and ran to the spawner only to be blocked half way there by two more rats and more ants. "Darn it!" I yelled as I jumped out of the way from a poison spit from one of the ants.

Uzuki managed to clear the ants that attacked her and came to help me. After we got rid of the ants, which were the easy part, we took the Rats out and then made a run for the spawner. After taking the spawner out we both took a small rest to regain our breaths and then kept going.

Once we made it to the second floor there were few monsters and they were mostly rats. After walking through the first room we came across a treasure chest.

"Do you think we should open it?" Uzuki asked

"I found a few in the Green Ruins so I don't see a problem in doing so." I replied

After opening the chest, we took out what was inside of it, it was a medicinal herb.

"Well at least this can work for some emergency first aid." I said and pocketed the plant.

We kept walking and eventually we came across the injured girl. She had long blond hair that reached her lower back. Like the girl said, there was a puddle and it seemed like the water in it was electrified. The only reason the monsters wouldn't attack was because she was in the corner of the room and the water was about 2 meters length.

"We'll get you out of there." Uzuki said.

"First we have to deal with the monsters and the spawner. But I can't see the spawner anywhere." I said

"If you mean the big orb that males the monsters appear is behind that pillar." The girl said pointing at a wide pillar that completely blocked the spawner.

"Alright, you sneak your way there and I'll buy you time. With this many monsters we have to be quick about this and try not to get any more monsters here." I said and Uzuki nodded agreeing.

I ran out of hiding and rushed at the monsters. Every monster attacked me and didn't notice Uzuki. Uzuki quickly, but quietly, made her way to said pillar and destroyed the spawner and right after that joined me on getting rid of the monsters.

The monster completely forgot about the girl and surrounded Uzuki and me. One of the rats in the bunch jumped and tried to sink their fangs into my left arm. I raised my sword and blocked the rat's sharp fangs.

"Ok what's the monsters' problem with my arm?" I said remembering my fight against the boss in the boss in the green ruins.

"Watch out here come some more." Uzuki said rats pounced at us as some ants started spitting poison.

Uzuki got hit directly by one of the poison spits and I got hit by a couple rats.

"Uzuki are you ok?" I asked

"I'll manage." She replied and the back of her top burned off and her skin got a purple spot about 3 inches in diameter.

'We have to do something about that quick.' I thought to myself and split Dueledge into two. "Uzuki fall back." I said and grabbed the blade on my left hand back-handed. 'I haven't practiced much with this, but is certainly more efficient.' I thought to myself.

I rushed right in and started using a new mix in the slashing. Every time I slashed with my left hand I spun around and slashed a second time with my right hand. Every time I blocked with either sword I'd have my second sword ready for a counter; when my right sword blocked a high hit, I'd slash diagonally down from left to right. When I blocked with my left sword I'd have my right hand next to my face and slash across my arm landing a slash in either the enemy's chest or their face. After a few minutes I cleared out the monsters and Uzuki started breathing heavily.

"Uzuki! Here, drink this. This should help you for a while." I said and handed her the Energy drink that Dan gave me.

While Uzuki was drinking the Energy Drink I started looking around the area for anything I could use to get the girl out of the dangerous corner of the room.

"This is all because of me." The girl said

"Don't worry about it. I just can't stand by when someone needs help." I replied. I noticed some wooden crates that although not too big could certainly help on making a little path. I picked up some of the crates and started carefully placing them on the puddle. After placing about five crates I ran out of crates to use. And was about a meter away from the safe spot the girl was in.

"I can make the jump, but getting back will require us to jump back, and you said your foot is injured." I said

"Is ok, you can go and ask for help then come back and get me." The girl said.

"This is fine. I can do it." I said and jumped over the puddle. "Now let me help you with your ankle." I said, although it wasn't broken it was for the best to tie a piece of wood so she wouldn't move it much.

"Ok that should do it. Now time to get out of this place." I said and crouched down. "Get on my back I'll get you to the other side of this."

The girl stayed quiet for a second. I don't blame her, I mean a stranger asking her to get on his back and get carried around? Yeah that's awkward. Still a little hesitant she got on my back and then I stood up straight.

"I hope I'm not too heavy." The girl said.

"You kidding? You're light as a feather." I said and got ready for the jump. "Brace yourself." I said and did a small sprint to get speed. I noticed the wall wasn't too far from the crates I placed so I ran at the wall and did a small wall run. When I knew I wasn't gonna land another step I pushed off the wall and landed on the third crate I had placed.

"That's was pretty cool." The girl said.

"Yeah well, that was the first time I tried that. Even I'm surprised I did it." I replied and then I walked to Uzuki who was now breathing a little more calmer than before, but still heavily.

"I think we should get out of here." I said and Uzuki got up helping herself with her Naginata.

Once we made it out of the newly found dungeon, we noticed the guards were nowhere to be found so we walked out of the school quickly.

'Taking these two to the hospital will be a pain in the arse. Not to mention the problems we'll get into with our parents and the school.' I though "This way" I said and walked a little slower so Uzuki wouldn't over work herself.

After about 15 minutes we made it To Cinnamon's house. I buzzed the doorbell.

"Who is it?" I heard Mrs. Cari ask through the intercom.

"Hello there. Is me Raguna." I replied

"Oh, Raguna. What brings you here?" Mrs. Cari asked

"Is kind of an emergency. Is Cinnamon here?" I asked

"She's up in her room. I'll open the door." She said and then the front door opened.

"My, my who are these ladies?" Mrs. Cari asked

"Long story, can you please help them?" I asked

"Well what's the problem?" she replied helping Uzuki into the house

"Well first off, her…" I said motioning my eyes at Uzuki. She was poisoned by an ant in a dungeon.

"Oh well if that's the case." Mrs. Cari said and grabbed an Energy drink. "Please drink this, it will calm the pain while I go get Cinnamon." She said and walked out of the living room. And came back a few minutes later followed by the red haired girl.

"You two were faster thanks I thought" Cinnamon said in her monotonic voice.

"Yeah thanks." I said.

"Well, let me look at the wound. Mom already told me about it." Cinnamon said and Uzuki turned around. "Um…I see…Panacea!" Cinnamon said and her hands had a small purple glow. After a few minutes she parted her hands from Uzuki's back and the purple spot was gone.

"You'll still feel sick for a few minute, but the poison is been removed from your body. Also this might make you throw up so please be on the lookout for that." Cinnamon said

"Also this is the person that was asking for help in the secret room." I said

"Um…Hello, My name is Selphy. I'm sorry about causing you all this trouble." The girl, now introduced as Selphy, said

"Is ok. Now what's your problem?" Cinnamon said

"Well I twisted my ankle. Yesterday and have been stuck there since." Selphy said

"Ok let me look at your leg." Cinnamon said and Selphy slowly raised her leg and placed it down near Cinnamon for her to check it. "OK this won't take long." Cinnamon said and then her hand started glowing light blue, almost white in fact.

"This is really cool. How did you learn this Magic? Is there like a book for it or something?" Selphy said

"Yes although most of it I was thought by myself when I was little." Cinnamon replied.

After a few minutes Selphy could stand again without feeling any pain on her leg…And Uzuki visited the restroom a couple times. Selphy explained how she got into the dungeon. That she dropped her bag in to the staircase when looking for some equipment in the storage room and that some ants dragged her bag away.

"Well, Thanks for today everyone. I certainly won't forget this." Selphy said and opened the door of the house.

"You're leaving already? I made a few sandwiches for everyone." Mrs. Cari said holding a tray with sandwiches.

"Thanks I'll gladly take one." Selphy said and grabbed one and started eating on it. After she finished it she thanked everyone once again and then left.

"I think we should be going to. We still need to get our homework done." Uzuki said and we said good bye to everyone.

"See ya tomorrow." Cinnamon replied and then we left. Well two good things came from this. 1) A new friend. And 2) a new dungeon. I can't wait 'till I clear this one.
