Chaos Factor Chapter 9: The Lion's Den


After some careful navigation, the three managed to reach this giant room. It had the sphere they were looking for, but even though the crystal stand glowed, the sphere almost looked invisible.

Yuna: Maybe somebody took it.

Gridion (whisper): SHHHHHHHHHHHH. Quiet. The sphere hasn't been taken yet. This one is a very special kind of sphere. Be on guard. I sense something here.

A very loud roaring sound was heard, as a giant lion made its way to the group.

Paine: Typical.

The three got ready to fight. Gridion, now as a dark knight, charged up for Darkness. The lion charged at Gridion, but he easily dodged it. Yuna kept firing at the lion, and never did stop. Paine then slashed its neck, it began to bleed. It growled before stomping on the ground, creating a small earthquake.

Gridion: DARKNESS!

Gridion hit the lion with the dark attack, doing a great deal of damage. The lion then clawed Gridion. But then, Gridion jumped onto the lion's back.

Gridion: Keep it BUSY!

Yuna and Pain kept attacking. The lion was trying to get Gridion off its back.

Paine: Enjoying the ride!

Gridion: YEAH!

Yuna (while still shooting): Well you could do something USEFUL!

Gridion: I AM!

Gridion then raised his sword above his head, before twisting it so it was pointing down. He then jammed his sword right through the Lion's neck, and it let out a feral cry of pain. It then collapsed dead, as it began to turn into pyreflies. Gridion reverted back to normal.

Gridion: That was rather easy if you ask me.

Paine: Compared to some of the other fiends we've faced………….for sure.

Yuna: Now we can get what we came for. Although I don't see it.

Gridion then noticed a torch stick on the floor, and picked it up. He lit it. He gave it to Yuna.

Gridion: I'll get this one.
