(XXIII) Gates To The Rave
Naruto Haru Elie Griff Plue and Musica stood infront of a large door with a sign in some kind of ancient text.
"It's a door," Naruto said.
"Do you think it's a Shadow Guard trap?" Haru asked.
"No... it's too old for that," Musica said, "I wonder who made it. It's in pretty good shape for something this old."
"I wonder if that talking bear knows," Naruto said.
"Talking bear?" Musica asked.
"Yeah! We saw a talking bear that lives here," Naruto responded.
"Okay..." Musica responded.
"There's something written on the door," Griff said.
"This is old Symphonian writing. It's a dead language," Musica stated.
"Oh, great. Is there anyone who can read this?"
"Beyond this door lies the resting place of the Rave Stone. None shall enter," Elie read.
"What?" Haru and Musica yelled.
"The rave is in..." said Haru before Musica punched him in the face.
"How can you read this, Elie?" Musica asked.
"I'm not sure," Elie said.
"You might of knew it from your past," Naruto said.
"Maybe..." Elie responded, "But I can't remember..."
"How can you not remember?" Musica responded.
"Elie has amnesia. She can't remember anything from before a year ago," Naruto explained.
"Oh... great..." Musica responded.
"Does it say anything else about the Rave?" Haru asked.
"It says: 'Those who dare to enter... prepare to fall victim to the ghost of Symphonia'." Elie read.
"Ghost?" Naruto paled, "YOu know what, I'll stay here and watch over the doors."
"What's wrong with you?" Musica asked.
"Nothing..." Naruto replied quickly.
"Oh, that's right... you're afraid of ghost," Haru responded.
"Seriously?" Musica asked, "Mr. Ninja-Boy-from-another-world is scared of ghost?"
"Sh-shut up!" Naruto responded.
"I wouldn't have thought Naruto was scared of something as simple as Ghost," Griff said.
Naruto pouted as everyone was ganging up on him.
"Relax, Naruto. It's okay that you're afraid of ghost," Elie responded.
"Puun" Plue responded.
"Okay... while Naruto tries to gain the courage to face his fears... what should we do?" Musica asked turning to Haru who was now trying to open the doors. "Whadya think you're doin'?"
"The Rave's Behind this door. So that means we have to go inside, right?" Haru asked.
"Don't Haur! It says not to enter!" Elie responded.
"Does he ever stop to think?" Musica asked.
"Not reallly," Naruto replied.
"It'll be fine!" Haru responded as he actually pushed the doors opened. "See? No problem!"
Just as he said that something fired from inside and hit Haru, pushing him back.
"What the heck? Who's in there?" Haru asked.
Eyes appeared in the darkness before Kuma (the talking bear) came out.
