Chapter 15
Amariie slowly walked towards the large blue tunnel, which reminded her of a raspberry slushie. Yummmm...Ahem... As soon as she was within five feet of the tunnel, it began to lift her from the solid ground, gently bringing her towards the center of the vortex...slushie...thingamahoot. She shrieked a bit and gave some sort of "do something you goofball" look to Rowen. He simply shrugged. Kento cracked a grin and followed the blonde's lead. The others jumped in as well, unsure of what they were to see ahead but trying not to think of it. Rain dodged a flying WhiteBlaze and looked upwards. Within moments, she began laughing hysterically. Ryo, floating next to her, gave her a sideways glance. "What's so funny?"
Rain merely pointed upwards and tried to steady her laughter, it was throwing off her Peter Pan flying skillz. Ol' fireball followed Rain's pointing and noticed a flash of baby blue. He controlled his giggles and stated loudly, "Hey Victoria! I think I found out your secret!"
Amariie twirled around with one of those uplifting nose confused glances. "What the frick are you talking abo--" she stopped when she noticed she was still wearing a skirt... "EEEE!!! PERVS!!!!!!" she screamed while throwing down a few things of lipstick from her fuzzy purse while trying to hold together her short skirt.
Being the perv that he is, Kento's smile widened. "I don't think I've ever seen undies with flowers on them." :THWACK: Ouch. Those compact mirrors can hurt...
Without much more maiming, the troup landed daintily on the hard...metalish...floating castle ground...stuff..yeah. And of course, they were insta-assaulted by hordes of brainless dynasty armors (bad guys have impeccable timing, no?). WB leaped into action, clearly knocking 4 consecutive soldiers on their behinds with a few well-placed pounces. Sage and Rowen delt out an extra helping of kick-ass while Ryo stuck behind protect the girls...er..girl. Rain was doing some serious damage with some nifty jeet-kun-do moves, compliments of watching Cowboy Bebop when she should having been studying for chemistry, while Amariie... well Amariie can't fight so she just kinda put on the evasion+purse smack manuver. Cye and Kento took to the front boldly, trying to make a clearer path towards the looming gray wall ahead.
Kento ploughed his fist through a soldier and looked over at Cye, "Hey man, do these things ever end?"
Giving a contemplating glance, briefly interrupted by a well-needed kick to an incoming tin can, he gave his calculated answer, "Nope."
"Bring them on then!," rockie shouted, hoping over a steel corpse towards his next target. He seemed to be the only one enjoying this.
"KIIYAA BITCH SLAP TO YA!" Ok, make that two. Rain jumped on top of a fallen soldier, smashing his armor in with each jump. She turned to see White Blaze holding a soldier's scythe in his mouth, whipping his head around. Rain cracked a grin. "Dude! That is too cool! Good kittie!"
In the midst of the boys fighting, Rain DBZing, and Amariie slapping soldiers with her Purse of Death, Rowen yelled out to a non-visible Sage. "Yo! Sage! Where do you think the three stooges are?"
Sage kept his eyes on his opponent. "Don't know, don't care at the moment," he said quickly while dodging a long staff.
Rowen frowned at his friend's unenthusiasm...well like they need any here... "Well I do..." he trailed on. Rapidly he ducked an onslaught of a beer can wannabe, but as he glanced to his left side, he noticed an eyesore. A motionless and silent fiery red gate stood in the near distance, beckoning them to come. It seemed the only entrance from their point of view and also the best way to get in, given that it was flanked by a very high, very thick wall. Rowen was shaken out of his observance by an annoyingly high-pitched pig squeal. He turned to find Amariie having one hell of a tug-of-war with a can over her purse.
"YOU'RE GONNA RIP IT!!!!" she shrieked at its faceless mask.
Suddenly the soldier collapsed into a pile of... well collapsed soldier topped with sprawled Amariie and slightly stretched purse. Thanks to Kento. "Bassstard!" she hissed as she walked hastily towards him. She promptly grabbed a handful of dull brown hair and gave a vicious tug.
"Gwa! What the hell, you psycho brat! I SAVED YOU!" he screeched at her.
"Me?! Look at my purse! Me, the poor little damsel in distress, and you take your sweet-ass time to rescue me, and LOOK AT MY PURSE! My mom's gonna haventa pay a fortune to repair it!" she glowered back, red in the face and stomping her foot like a .. psycho brat.
No even bothering to dignify that with a response, he yanked her arm to a sideline to keep her wussy ass safe. Once there, he grabbed a nearby White Blaze in mid-action by the scruff of his neck and shoved him towards Amariie. Frankly, WB was pissed. 'Damn it,' White Blaze thought darkly, 'first Kento eats the leftover Micky D's burger that Ryo bought for MY dinner, then the Ancient, my master for like 1000 years goes poof, and NOW I'm stuck babysitting this whiny bitch. Thank you Kami-sama... thanks a real fricken lot..'
Moving right along... When the area was almost finally clear of generic brand soldiers, a new batch flooded in. Sage snarled and turned towards the others. "Guys, we can't waste time like this! Ryo, you Rowen and I make our way towards the gate while Kento, Rain, White Blaze, Useless and Cye will mop up these tin- heads," he commanded. (I mean, hey, he DOES have a manlier voice than Ryo...)
"Roger!" With that, the three sprinted off, with the occasional plough- through-dynasty trash, towards the looming, gloomy and doomy castle up ahead.
Upon reaching the ridiculously tall pair of wooden doors, the three stopped. Ro-chan scratched his head. "Um, should we knock?"
Ryo used Mime. "I guess so..."
Just as Ryo's metal-clad fist was about to touch the ancient wood, the doors creaked open to reveal... to reveal... too reveeeaaal.... Too Reveal! ::in Bob Barker voice:: ...blackness. What, did you honestly expect a 100 year old floating magical feudal japanese castle from the Netherrealm to have electrical lightning? C'mon, now that's just being unrealistic!
Just to add to the whole ensemble, Sage decided to ask a "Anybody home?" to the unwelcoming silence, yet nearly jumped out of his sub-armour when a shrill feminine voice answered with a "Nobody's home!"
"Moron! Now they know it's us!" a thick, deep voice followed after the higher one, sounding angry.
::TWACK::
"Ingrates! OF COURSE they know, it's Talpa's goddamn castle!" an eerie voice hissed and the other two.
There was a pause and then the shrill voice broke it. "..oh yeah.. Well, come on in!"
::TWACK::
"Of course they're going to come in! What, did you think they'd STAND THERE all fricken overcasted day and wait for a written fricken invitation?!" the eerie voice replied once again sounding rather miffed.
Some light sniffling was heard, presumably from the shrill voiced one. "Dais... you're such a big meanie!"
Rowen turned his head slowly towards Sage to notice the same giant sweatdrop attached to the back to his head. 'Oh well...'
Ryo raised an eyebrow at the scene before him. Before he could say anything, three shadows separated themselves from the darkness. Sage was again scared shitless by Rain who ran into him from behind. The others trotted upon the scene after finishing off the rest of the badies. She gave him an apologetic look as the three vicious warlords stepped forward dauntingly. "Dude...you guys look buff..." Amariie said while dodging a glance from Rowen.
Dais, who stood in front, grinned a bit. "We've had some minor adjustments."
~~~wobbly flashback mode~~~
Cale had realized that putting on his Scooby Doo swimtrunks while blowing up his floaties was not an easy task. He stumbled around his room trying to find that blasted sunscreen; he burnt so easily. Without announcing his arrival, Dais burst through his door, nearly taking it off the hinges. "HURRY!!! HOT GIRLS WON'T WAIT LONG!!" he shrieked, so excited that he was out of breath.
Cale finished inflating his left arm. "Talpa's such a good employer. I can't believe he ordered us twenty beach girls and a pool just cause we've been good lately. I think it's from bringing Anubis back. I wanna hang out with the girls so we can do each other's hair."
Dais nodded quickly while bouncing on the balls of his feet, momentarily ignoring his comrade's gayness. He sported his new purple speedo shorts with yellow stars on them. Getting impatient he grabbed Cale by the arm and dragged him towards the place Talpa said he recently established a pool.
"Gwah! I forgot my bathing cap!" he (Cale) yelped, then grabbed a large lime green beach bag. Dais proceeded to run down the hall, infused with lust and glee.
Within a few moments, they arrived to a large steel door with a piece of notebook paper taped to the front reading a scribbled word "Pool." Cale refixed his hold on his heavy bag. Dais leaned over and asked what was in it. Without waiting for Cale to say, he plunged his hand inside and found a powerpuff girls beach towel, spf 45 sunscreen (plumeria scented), inflatable toys, and "Tampons?" Dais questioned. Cale simply shrugged and opened the large door, allowing the other to step through first.
What met their eyes was not a truckfull of bodacious babes or a nice pool, but instead a large netherpool infested with spirits and lava. Dais was quite ready to run full speed in the other direction if a certain ass would get out of his way. He KNEW that door looked familiar... Cale scratched his head, which was hard to do due to his Finding Nemo floaties. "We must have gone in the wrong direction...but why did it say pool on the doo-"
"TRAP! GO!" Dais yelled, realizing a bit earlier than Cale that Talpa had no intention of letting his lackies having a day at the pool, nor would Cale share hair secrets with Tiffany...damn...
Cale turned to do as Dais ordered, but here came good ol' Sekkie came tearing through the door wearing Cale's missing flowered, full headed flowered bathing cap (oh yes, the type from the 1950's with the clip strap) also...in a leopard thong...
"Where's my lovely Jennifer?? Last one in the pool is Talpa's bitch!" he yelled joyfully, ignoring Cale and Dais's pleas to stop. :SMACK: Sekhmet ran right into the other two, shoving them into the lava. Only half a second later did Sekkie realize he was falling into some orange goop. Cale grabbed ahold of Dais and tried to use him as a life saver. Dais' arms were flailing around trying to get his head to stay above the surface.
"Cale! GET :gurgle: OFF :bubble: MEEEE :choke:"
Cale became a little more still, enough to let Dais breathe. Cyclops was spitting out some goop as he felt a warmth creeping along his side. Looking down he noticed that the goop was turning strangely yellow and Cale was in the right position for him to have....
"CALE!!! YOU SICK BASTARD! STOP PEEING ON ME!!!" Dais shrieked, trying to swim away from Cale, but in vain due to the fact that Cale had strapped his arms around him, his Nemo floating smushing into Dais' face.
Sekkie merely floated on the surface. "Hey! This is kinda fun! Weee!" he began swimming around. Suddenly, giant bolts of electricity erupted around them, shocking all of them.
It was then that they noticed Talpa sitting mere yards away on a lawn chair. He was wearing sunglasses, a straw hat, sandals, and a Hawaiian t- shirt. In his hand was a coconut filled with, undoubtedly a pina colada. Smiling he took a sip and said "Come on, boys. You're alright. Just a few more hours of this and you'll be feeling goooooood. :nods:" The warlords were fighting for their life to get out of the pool, but being held down by the lava's long tendrils, arising from the bottom. "Kick those legs, Dais," Talpa called over before using his super telekinetic powers to swipe Cale's sunscreen floating in the goop and putting a nice glob on his nose. He set down his coconut carefully and placed over his chest a sun reflector to work on that ghastly skin of his.
~~wobbly flashforward mode~~
"..right"
The skittle squad quickly transformed into their respective armours (wasting a hella lot of toilet paper and sakura blossoms which could've been added in a Hotohori-sama picture) ready to kick some warlord-booty. At once, in that neat lil chevron formation the five charged forward, only to have a gaping hole appear underneath them, and fall. Very far. On their asses.
Rain, Amariie, and a smart White Blaze, who wasn't eager to follow his master into a hole, just stood there looking stupid while the warlords cackled with glee. "Oh how easily the Ronins fell into our trap," Sekhmet chortled, nudging Cale with his elbow, who himself was giggling like a preteen.
Rain shot them an unamused expression. "Ok, losers. You're trap happened to be a hole in the floor. That was not only cheap, but lacking taste as well. I mean, isn't this a magical castle? It is floating and all. Couldn't you have come up with some better special effects, or at least something cool like a warp portal?! Like, please guys.." she finished, arms crossed and letting out a final sigh.
The three stared at her for a minute. Sekkie, surprisingly, recovered first. "Ok, time to die you uppity bitch. SNAKE FANG STRIKE!" In an instant, the doorway was lit up with flashing streams of burnt sienna, plumes of noxious fume blocking vision of the awaited deaths of those two annoying bitchy girls. "Attacking two defenseless women, Sekhmet? I believe you need a lesson in chivalry, my former comrade." A voice answered instead of the blood curdling screams they had expected. The voice sounding eerily familiar, yet having that brave, noble ring to it, which made it seem so foreign.
Dais, at the forefront, stared incrediculously (that is now a real word) as the vapour cleared. "A..Anubis?!"
Standing there in all his sexy masculine glory, with two surprised girls thrown over each shoulder, stood the former Oni Masho. Lowing his upper body and planting the girls down, he stepped forward to face the three minions of Talpa. Amariie, finished with staring at the rather nice bottom of the bishounen standing before them, gave a slight tug on Rain's sleeve. Rain, on the other hand, was not finished with her inspection. Careful not to step in the rather large puddle of drool on the ground, Amariie pulled Rain over to a safe distance, the latter still in that dreamy trance.
Sekkie scratched his head...well helmet. "How did you escape the..um..lava goop crap?"
The red head smiled a bit and turned his face towards snakie-poo. "Plot twist, my dear Watson. Plot twist."
"Stop with the riddles, Anubis!" Dais bellowed. "You were securely trapped there with guards!"
"Apparently not," mumbled Cale before receiving a nice sharp look from Cyclops.
Dais wrapped his fingers around a handy nunchuku secretly. "I'll make sure you'll never see sunlight again!" he shot, lunging at the smiling ex- warlord.
Yet before he could attack, Sekhmet had grabbed ahold of Dais's shoulder, surprisingly strong. "Talpa told us to stick to the plan!"
Cale nodded, although he'd enjoy ripping Anubis apart himself. "He's right, Dais. We can deal with the traitor later, after we take care of the others.
With that, they vanished and the ridiculously large red wooden doors slammed shut.
Anubis turned towards the two girls and began walking towards them. "Well that was rude."
Amariie skipped towards him as Rain couldn't help but grin so widely it looked like it'd rip her face in half.
"Yeah, you sure kicked their asses!" Amariie said to him sarcastically, raising a fist in the air.
Anubis merely smirked and placed his eyes on Rain, now standing a few feet in front of him. Blondie looked from one to the other and mentioned something about re-doing her makeup, then strolled away. In one fluid motion, Rain flung herself at Anubis and hugged his chest tightly. "I thought you were gone," she whispered. He was a bit surprised, but welcomed the action. "I'm back," he replied, then played with her silver hair a bit, then kissed the top of her head. ((Author's note: Yes, that part made me gag too. I apologize))
Ryo stumbled in the darkness, trying to find a wall or object somewhere to comfort himself. He had fallen in the darkened chamber when the hole opened beneath them. Stupid cheesy warlord trick. The other four had disappeared, probably in the same predicament as he. When he felt he was going to be lost forever, he began to hear hurried footsteps. He stood as still as he could, listening to the rapid beats. Without warning whatsoever, the running footsteps became loud, followed by a hard shove to Ryo's chest. He opened his eyes, like that did any good, and tried to see through the darkness as he laid on the stone ground.
"Bloody hell that hurt!" the voice above him said painfully.
Ryo gave a short laugh. "Cye?"
The body above him went still then said "Ryo! It's about time I ran into you!" He chucked a bit, then got up, helping Ryo onto his feet as well.
Ryo nodded in thanks, like that would help as well. "Where are we?"
Cye turned around, searching for light. "Don't know. I wish there was some bloody-"
Before he could finish, the countless torches that attached to the walls suddenly ignited, sending a bright glow throughout the entire chamber. "light," the Brit finished.

Chapter 15
Amariie slowly walked towards the large blue tunnel, which reminded her of a raspberry slushie. Yummmm...Ahem... As soon as she was within five feet of the tunnel, it began to lift her from the solid ground, gently bringing her towards the center of the vortex...slushie...thingamahoot. She shrieked a bit and gave some sort of "do something you goofball" look to Rowen. He simply shrugged. Kento cracked a grin and followed the blonde's lead. The others jumped in as well, unsure of what they were to see ahead but trying not to think of it. Rain dodged a flying WhiteBlaze and looked upwards. Within moments, she began laughing hysterically. Ryo, floating next to her, gave her a sideways glance. "What's so funny?"
Rain merely pointed upwards and tried to steady her laughter, it was throwing off her Peter Pan flying skillz. Ol' fireball followed Rain's pointing and noticed a flash of baby blue. He controlled his giggles and stated loudly, "Hey Victoria! I think I found out your secret!"
Amariie twirled around with one of those uplifting nose confused glances. "What the frick are you talking abo--" she stopped when she noticed she was still wearing a skirt... "EEEE!!! PERVS!!!!!!" she screamed while throwing down a few things of lipstick from her fuzzy purse while trying to hold together her short skirt.
Being the perv that he is, Kento's smile widened. "I don't think I've ever seen undies with flowers on them." :THWACK: Ouch. Those compact mirrors can hurt...
Without much more maiming, the troup landed daintily on the hard...metalish...floating castle ground...stuff..yeah. And of course, they were insta-assaulted by hordes of brainless dynasty armors (bad guys have impeccable timing, no?). WB leaped into action, clearly knocking 4 consecutive soldiers on their behinds with a few well-placed pounces. Sage and Rowen delt out an extra helping of kick-ass while Ryo stuck behind protect the girls...er..girl. Rain was doing some serious damage with some nifty jeet-kun-do moves, compliments of watching Cowboy Bebop when she should having been studying for chemistry, while Amariie... well Amariie can't fight so she just kinda put on the evasion+purse smack manuver. Cye and Kento took to the front boldly, trying to make a clearer path towards the looming gray wall ahead.
Kento ploughed his fist through a soldier and looked over at Cye, "Hey man, do these things ever end?"
Giving a contemplating glance, briefly interrupted by a well-needed kick to an incoming tin can, he gave his calculated answer, "Nope."
"Bring them on then!," rockie shouted, hoping over a steel corpse towards his next target. He seemed to be the only one enjoying this.
"KIIYAA BITCH SLAP TO YA!" Ok, make that two. Rain jumped on top of a fallen soldier, smashing his armor in with each jump. She turned to see White Blaze holding a soldier's scythe in his mouth, whipping his head around. Rain cracked a grin. "Dude! That is too cool! Good kittie!"

Rapidly he ducked an onslaught of a beer can wannabe, but as he glanced to his left side, he noticed an eyesore. A motionless and silent fiery red gate stood in the near distance, beckoning them to come. It seemed the only entrance from their point of view and also the best way to get in, given that it was flanked by a very high, very thick wall. Rowen was shaken out of his observance by an annoyingly high-pitched pig squeal. He turned to find Amariie having one hell of a tug-of-war with a can over her purse.
"YOU'RE GONNA RIP IT!!!!" she shrieked at its faceless mask.
Suddenly the soldier collapsed into a pile of... well collapsed soldier topped with sprawled Amariie and slightly stretched purse. Thanks to Kento. "Bassstard!" she hissed as she walked hastily towards him. She promptly grabbed a handful of dull brown hair and gave a vicious tug.
"Gwa! What the hell, you psycho brat! I SAVED YOU!" he screeched at her.
"Me?! Look at my purse! Me, the poor little damsel in distress, and you take your sweet-ass time to rescue me, and LOOK AT MY PURSE! My mom's gonna haventa pay a fortune to repair it!" she glowered back, red in the face and stomping her foot like a .. psycho brat.
No even bothering to dignify that with a response, he yanked her arm to a sideline to keep her wussy ass safe.

Moving right along... When the area was almost finally clear of generic brand soldiers, a new batch flooded in. Sage snarled and turned towards the others. "Guys, we can't waste time like this!

Upon reaching the ridiculously tall pair of wooden doors, the three stopped. Ro-chan scratched his head. "Um, should we knock?"
Ryo used Mime. "I guess so..."
Just as Ryo's metal-clad fist was about to touch the ancient wood, the doors creaked open to reveal... to reveal... too reveeeaaal.... Too Reveal! ::in Bob Barker voice:: ...blackness. What, did you honestly expect a 100 year old floating magical feudal japanese castle from the Netherrealm to have electrical lightning? C'mon, now that's just being unrealistic!
Just to add to the whole ensemble, Sage decided to ask a "Anybody home?" to the unwelcoming silence, yet nearly jumped out of his sub-armour when a shrill feminine voice answered with a "Nobody's home!"

"Where's my lovely Jennifer?? Last one in the pool is Talpa's bitch!" he yelled joyfully, ignoring Cale and Dais's pleas to stop. :SMACK: Sekhmet ran right into the other two, shoving them into the lava.

In his hand was a coconut filled with, undoubtedly a pina colada. Smiling he took a sip and said "Come on, boys. You're alright. Just a few more hours of this and you'll be feeling goooooood. :nods:" The warlords were fighting for their life to get out of the pool, but being held down by the lava's long tendrils, arising from the bottom. "Kick those legs, Dais," Talpa called over before using his super telekinetic powers to swipe Cale's sunscreen floating in the goop and putting a nice glob on his nose. He set down his coconut carefully and placed over his chest a sun reflector to work on that ghastly skin of his.
~~wobbly flashforward mode~~
"..right"
The skittle squad quickly transformed into their respective armours (wasting a hella lot of toilet paper and sakura blossoms which could've been added in a Hotohori-sama picture) ready to kick some warlord-booty. At once, in that neat lil chevron formation the five charged forward, only to have a gaping hole appear underneath them, and fall. Very far. On their asses.

Rain shot them an unamused expression. "Ok, losers. You're trap happened to be a hole in the floor. That was not only cheap, but lacking taste as well. I mean, isn't this a magical castle? It is floating and all. Couldn't you have come up with some better special effects, or at least something cool like a warp portal?! Like, please guys.." she finished, arms crossed and letting out a final sigh.
The three stared at her for a minute. Sekkie, surprisingly, recovered first. "Ok, time to die you uppity bitch. SNAKE FANG STRIKE!" In an instant, the doorway was lit up with flashing streams of burnt sienna, plumes of noxious fume blocking vision of the awaited deaths of those two annoying bitchy girls. "Attacking two defenseless women, Sekhmet? I believe you need a lesson in chivalry, my former comrade." A voice answered instead of the blood curdling screams they had expected. The voice sounding eerily familiar, yet having that brave, noble ring to it, which made it seem so foreign.
Dais, at the forefront, stared incrediculously (that is now a real word) as the vapour cleared. "A..Anubis?!"
Standing there in all his sexy masculine glory, with two surprised girls thrown over each shoulder, stood the former Oni Masho.

Careful not to step in the rather large puddle of drool on the ground, Amariie pulled Rain over to a safe distance, the latter still in that dreamy trance.
Sekkie scratched his head...well helmet. "How did you escape the..um..lava goop crap?"
The red head smiled a bit and turned his face towards snakie-poo. "Plot twist, my dear Watson. Plot twist."
"Stop with the riddles, Anubis!" Dais bellowed. "You were securely trapped there with guards!"
"Apparently not," mumbled Cale before receiving a nice sharp look from Cyclops.
Dais wrapped his fingers around a handy nunchuku secretly. "I'll make sure you'll never see sunlight again!" he shot, lunging at the smiling ex- warlord.
Yet before he could attack, Sekhmet had grabbed ahold of Dais's shoulder, surprisingly strong. "Talpa told us to stick to the plan!"
Cale nodded, although he'd enjoy ripping Anubis apart himself. "He's right, Dais. We can deal with the traitor later, after we take care of the others.
With that, they vanished and the ridiculously large red wooden doors slammed shut.
Anubis turned towards the two girls and began walking towards them. "Well that was rude."
Amariie skipped towards him as Rain couldn't help but grin so widely it looked like it'd rip her face in half.
"Yeah, you sure kicked their asses!" Amariie said to him sarcastically, raising a fist in the air.
Anubis merely smirked and placed his eyes on Rain, now standing a few feet in front of him. Blondie looked from one to the other and mentioned something about re-doing her makeup, then strolled away. In one fluid motion, Rain flung herself at Anubis and hugged his chest tightly. "I thought you were gone," she whispered. He was a bit surprised, but welcomed the action. "I'm back," he replied, then played with her silver hair a bit, then kissed the top of her head. ((Author's note: Yes, that part made me gag too. I apologize))
Ryo stumbled in the darkness, trying to find a wall or object somewhere to comfort himself. He had fallen in the darkened chamber when the hole opened beneath them. Stupid cheesy warlord trick. The other four had disappeared, probably in the same predicament as he. When he felt he was going to be lost forever, he began to hear hurried footsteps. He stood as still as he could, listening to the rapid beats. Without warning whatsoever, the running footsteps became loud, followed by a hard shove to Ryo's chest. He opened his eyes, like that did any good, and tried to see through the darkness as he laid on the stone ground.
"Bloody hell that hurt!" the voice above him said painfully.
Ryo gave a short laugh. "Cye?"
The body above him went still then said "Ryo! It's about time I ran into you!" He chucked a bit, then got up, helping Ryo onto his feet as well.
Ryo nodded in thanks, like that would help as well. "Where are we?"
Cye turned around, searching for light. "Don't know. I wish there was some bloody-"
Before he could finish, the countless torches that attached to the walls suddenly ignited, sending a bright glow throughout the entire chamber. "light," the Brit finished.
