Dark Wing and Dark Knight lead. The others sorted themselves out, and followed. Magus was at the end. Although comfortable with the surroundings, the people were another story. I"But for my sister, I will do anything. Even put up with all these people."/P
/IP
The corridor was much like the previous part. Dark, damp, and strait. "Alya no like. Too dark. Too small."/P
P
Dark Wing began to laugh. "I know what you mean." Just then, the corridor expanded, into a room. The group entered the room, then noticed something that they'd missed before. "There's no way out!"/P
P
Chrono looked at Lucca, and nodded. "I guess we head back… What??"/P
P
The door they'd entered through was gone. Magus had an angry look on his face. "This is his work! Lavos lives!"/P
P
Dark Knight looked down at him. "Now's a nice time to mention that. So, anyone have any ideas as to how we get out of here?"/P
P
No one said anything. Chrono shrugged. "I guess not. So what do we do now?"/P
P
Dark Wing laid down. "The only thing we can do. Wait."/P
P
Everyone sat down in a circle, backs to each other. Magus was the only exception. He stood on his own, next to one of the walls. /P
P
He also had the privilege of being the first to figure out what the group had to worry about next./P
P
They had been waiting in the room for over three hours, or so it seemed. Suddenly, the wall behind Magus moved. Magus was thrown off balance, and into the others. All around them, the walls moved, and creatures began pouring out. They were creatures Alya knew well. "Reptites! Alya fight! Alya kill reptites."/P
P
The others began drawing their weapons, and casting spells. Dark wing fought as he could, the room being too small for him to fight properly. Still, the reptites's small scales proved to be no match for Dark Wing's claws and fangs./P
P
Ultimately, numbers were the deciding factor. For each one the group fell, two more took its place. Chrono's group didn't have that advantage. One by one, they fell. Until at last Dark Wing along remaind. But the reptites had learned that Dark Wing was unable to see behind him, and this is where they now focused their attacks. Dark Wing screamed in annoyance. His size made it impossible for him to turn with any speed, and as soon as he tried, the repties were once again behind him. Occasionally one would get to far to either side. They never had an opportunity to flee. But the battle was taking its toll on Dark Wing. As well, he had to look out for his friends. The reptites had no such concerns. Soon exhaustion overcame Dark Wing, and he too fell./P
P
The reptites had gained the first victory. Would they gain the war?
