The group proceeded through the cave. Just as they were about to reach the end, they felt a presence up above.
"Everyone, watch out! There's definitely something here." Rosalie said.
As she said that, a creature appeared from underground. It looked like a creature with disembodied hands and arms.
"What in the world is that thing?" Luke asked.
"I don't know. But the Ark is just up ahead. Let's take this thing down and head on through." Valfor said.
"It doesn't look strong at all. I'm sure if we fight like normally, we can defeat it." Zamazenta said.
With that, the group starts to fight against the monster. With only powerful attacks to go on, it didn't take much before the monster was soundly defeated.
"You were right, Zamazenta. That really didn't take long." Rosalie said.
"Thank goodness no one was hurt." Glacius said.
The group were soon able to exit the cave onto a beach. At first, there was nothing, but those with good eyesights were able to see a sort of golden ship coming right for them. They had to pull back to clear away from it before it finally stopped in the sand.
"Whoa… Look at the size of this thing!" Rayleigh said.
"Y-yeah! It's huge!" Matthew said.
"Very much so. Almost as big as the Dark Cruiser." Cheetah said.
"Will we really be able to cross the other the realms with this?" Aoesia asked.
"Yes. No doubt about it." Nesma said.
"Hey there!" a voice said as three figures came out of it. "Glad to see you all are okay!"
"Whoa, who are you guys?" Valfor asked.
"Do not be alarmed. We are not your enemies." the figure with an eye covered up said. "My name is Tiggy. Professor Tiggy Alstein. The spacy Daemon with the wolf features is Vivian. And the young man with her is Ignace."
"Hello!" Vivian said.
"So, they're Daemons, but they are not hostile?" Matthew asked.
"Exactly. Glad someone is finally getting it." Tiggy said. "In any case, why have you summoned this ship here?"
"Azura and I were planning to use it to go to the Caged Realm and rescue our friends." Galil said.
"Just the two of you?" Tiggy asked.
"Well… The rest of us have our own vessel for this sort of travel." Cheetah said.
"I see. Well, it might be possible to use this ship to take flight under the right circumstances." Tiggy said.
"In that case, I suggest that we join forces to combat the Daemon threat and rescue your comrades." Vivian said.
"W-wait a second, madam! We're supposed to be traveling incognito. What if we get caught?" Ignace asked.
"Oh, relax, Ignace! It'll be fine!" Vivian siad, happily. "We have all of these people to help us if it comes to that, do we?"
"That's not the issue here." Ignace said.
"Well, if no one else has any objections. Let us be off." Cheetah said. "Get the Dark Cruiser ready."
"Roger, ma'am!" Rosalie said with a salute.
