Chapter 9: Into The Temple of Stars
"All the doors are locked" Sheena said.
"Yeah, now what?" Zelos asked.
"It's so dark in here." Sheena commented.
"Try using that Glimmering Seal move."
(A/N: Sheena uses the Seal with the katana now.)
"Alright. Glimmering Seal!"
A cocoon of light hit a random chandelier and illuminated the room. A door opened. It was one out of 5 and it was the farthest left one. So, they went the exposed passage.
"Hey look at the floor!" Zelos yelled.
It was glowing a lot. "Don't move!" Sheena yelled.
A wall appeared in front of her and Zelos. Sheena dived at him just as the wall reached the ceiling. It was a wall created from star magic, and it sprung up from the floor. The two were now in a room with an altar. A sword was supposed to be stuck in a crevace. Sheena stuck hers in, but it didn't work.
Zelos read some angelic text, "It says here to place a star element blade in the crevace."
"Maybe yours is…?" Sheena asked.
So, Zelos put his sword in. The altar split in half, revealing another door. They went in this one and found a room that changed rapidly.
Platforms would appear for one second, then disappear the next. This chain of raised areas lead to another door and it was locked. Zelos hit a switch he saw, and the door opened. 12 seconds later, it closed. Sheena did some hard thinking, Maybe she could just get on one platform each every other second. She ordered Zelos to push the switch. He did, and Sheena put plan into action. She hopped on to the first platform, then the next two seconds later, but it was too hard. She fell, and Zelos ran to catch her. Her chest landed on his left hand, and her torso in the other.
Sheena got an angry look. Zelos then screamed, "hey it wasn't my fault! You fell and I…"
Sheena smiled and said, "It's alright. Thank you. Let's try again."
Zelos pushed the switch again. Sheena got on the first platform, then on the second two seconds later, and then stuck her sword over the third, waiting for it to appear. It did, and Sheena used this tactic until she got all the way across. She ran into the passage, and saw a switch. She immediately pressed it and the door, which had shut right behind her, opened again. The platforms in the other room also stopped moving and stayed jutted out. Zelos crossed and went to the other room.
In this room there was a slide. They went down it and found themselves in the central room; the one they had first entered, except it s door second to the right was open now. They went in.
The things that inhabited this room were a chair and a window. Zelos did the stupidest thing ever and threw the chair at the window. It broke and stabbed at floor, which now was glowing. The shards melded into a key, and Sheena grabbed it. The floor sucked Sheena into a different room and Zelos stayed put. Sheena was in the central room and then came back in the room they should have been in. There was now a revealed glass door, and no, it was not the Governor-General of Palmacoasta, it was a regular, well glass door. Sheena put the key in after this run on sentence. The door opened and the two went in.
Now there was a picture, and a pen lying next to it. Seeing, as how nothing could go wrong since Zelos was actually right for once, she drew a mustache on the picture, which was a girl and a cat, now with hair below their nose. The pen then magically stabbed itself into the picture and a passage appeared. While they went in Sheena said, "This area's goal for us is to do stupid things. What's the point? I think Astra is toying with us.
"Hm.. Toying.." Zelos mumbled, " I wouldn't mind that…"
Unfortunately, Sheena heard him and smacked him, while yelling, "MIND THIS!"
Zelos did, but they were now in the next room so Zelos decided it was his turn to do something stupid to the two objects, kick them. One was a priceless diamond vase, with opal and emeralds, and any other gem imaginable melded into it, and another was a book of magic to help people in demon slaying. Everybody was glad Raine wasn't there. Very. Now a window with arms and legs appeared and began to attack with a star shaped blade.
Zelos yelled," Ah yeah! New Spell, Lunar Implode!"
A small model of the moon crash onto the foe and imploded into a white explosion. The monster became stunned and Sheena attacked it with her katana. The window thing died, but then another appeared! Sheena and Zelos both stabbed it many times until it finally died. Now a slide appeared and they slid to the central room.
" You have done well so far." The voice of Astra lingered in the air, "But can you beat this?"
A.N: Yup. Ended with another cliffhanger. See ya next chapter, Temple of Stars Continued!
