Chapter 6

The monster that had been trapped in the crystal at the temple that housed the yellow lens had been a snake, something Frus was very good at fighting. Add to that the fact that they now knew how to best fight these creatures, and the battle there was over in moments. The fight for the green lens, against some king of golem with tress growing out of it went about the same, except it was set on fire by the combined orange and yellow lenses. The guardian o that temple hadn't seen a need to come with them with two guards there already, so he gave Otto, Frus, and Gibson the green lens and they went on their way.

With the orange, yellow, and green lenses and two guards with them, our heroes were making good time on the way to the get the blue lens. However, they weren't going fast enough by Gibson's count.

"According to Antuari, we can only count on three more days. By looking at how long it will take us to get home at our absolute maximum speed and the time we've used up since we got the message, and comparing that with the difference in how long a day is on both planets, and since it's nighttime here now and we have to go back to the first temple to-"

"Get to the point, Gibson," said Frus.

"We have until the next sunset at the temple of the red lens. Then we have to leave," said Gibson.

"Luckily, we only have to get the blue and violet lenses before we head back," said Otto. "And there's the next temple, up ahead."

Looking at the screen, they saw the big temple, in the light of the huge twin moons of the planet. And, nearby, there seemed to be big, translucent tentacles.

Upon landing, the team was shocked to see a monster version of a colossal squid finishing off the temple guards. The guards from the other temples, who had been silent since leaving, charged forward to attack the squid. Frus put Kyrie down next to the ship and told her to stay put. Then, he held up the yellow lens, Otto held up the orange one, and Gibson held up the green one. In the light of the moon, they glowed and shot energy at the squid creature. However, the light was dim and didn't do very much damage to the creature.

The squid creature squealed in pain but continued to fight. Now, however, it was retreating, fearing another blast. Its urge to destroy was far greater than its urge to escape pain, however. It began to attack again as our heroes tried to figure out how to use the lenses to attack a second time. After a moment, they called the guards back. The squid started to follow and was met by Otto and Gibson, who began to attack with their weapons. The guards took the lenses from Frus, who summoned a sword and rushed forward to aid the monkeys. The attacks took their toll on the weakened squid, and whatever survival instincts it had told it to retreat once more. However, it reached out with one of its tentacles and grabbed the weakest creature it could get, and thanks to the incredible length of its tentacle, it was able to reach Kyrie. Before the fighters could stop the squid, it pulled the young girl away. Frus and the monkeys gave chance, and soon they heard a splash. They caught up and saw a huge body of water. They followed the squid in; Kyrie would drown before they could come up with a better plan.

As Frus swam, he noticed that his fur was discoloring. He almost let his breath out, but before that could happen he began to tell himself that that was all that was going to happen. 'I can swim, and saltwater won't make my joints rust. My fur won't be silver again for a few days, but that's it. I won't get stuck and be trapped down here unable to move. I can do this,' Frus kept telling himself things like this.

T didn't take long to find the squid - it didn't have much room to maneuver. Otto and Gibson began to attack it. Frus, however, didn't really know how to fight underwater. So he made up for it by summoning huge amounts of metal. Although the squid was faster, it didn't have as much space now, and Frus was able to block off just about everything it could have used to attack with. Otto and Gibson quickly defeated it, and though it didn't seem to really die, it went pretty limp and seemed knocked out. Frus grabbed Kyrie and a combination of worry and lack of air sent him to the surface much faster than the monkeys would have gone.

When he got Kyrie out of the water, Frus was happy to see that she simply coughed and shook her head quickly, after which she seemed fine. Very strong lungs, apparently. Even so, she grabbed onto Frus and didn't want to let go.

Frus went over to the two guards and told them about what had happened underwater. One handed Frus the lenses and went to get the blue one. The other went to the side of the water and began to chant, trying to seal the squid's power.

By the time the guard returned with the blue lens, the other one was finished as well. Everyone got into the rocket, and they were off to get the violet lens.

The monster at the last temple was spider like. When they reached it, it was near dawn. Frus hesitated to use the lenses just yet.

"I have a plan. Let's wait a few minutes for dawn; I think that we can defeat that thing in a single attack with the sun up. Can you hold it off?" asked Frus.

"I'm sure we can," answered Gibson. He, Otto, and the guards fought the creature while Frus stayed back with Kyrie and the lenses. However, he wasn't just waiting, he was summoning metal to shield his friends from attacks.

Finally, the first rays of the sun appeared, and Frus allowed the light to shine on the lenses. He was right; the energy from the lenses was strong enough to take down the spider. It tried to stand before the light, but after a moment it had to give up.

The guards of this last temple saw all of the other lenses, along with the guards who had come with Frus, Kyrie, and the monkeys, and they figured out what was going on. They got the violet lens and gave it to Frus. It was time to rush back to the first temple and get the red lens and whatever instruction that they had coming to them. They could only hope that it wouldn't take too long.
