Edi Riggs and Roiyaru Dorn walk into the red doorway, seeing the inside was a shit ton bigger than the dungeon itself.
Lava everywhere, like they're in an active volcano.
"The Dungeon's in a fucken volcano?!" Edi shouted, seeing a path on a rock leading to a crumble temple.
"It would explain a few things, these 'Mavericks' must have used the lava system to power the labyrinth" Roiyaru said, looking around the area as he walked down in his heavy armour.
"Aren't you sweating in that?" Edi asked, seeing their inside a volcano.
"Surprisingly no, it's quite cool in here" Roiyaru explains, his armour isn't heating up from the volcano, he's not sure why.
"Your right it is not melting my face" Edi said, feeling the heat but not too hot, like they left the heater on too long.
"Come on" Roiyaru said, Edi followed him down the stony path, walking down to the destroyed temple.
"What the hell happened here?" Edi said, standing in front of the temple.
"A cave-in of some kind" Roiyaru figures, walking forward into the front of the destroyed temple.
Repair
Roiyara slams his hammer down, energy doing though the whole building, all the derby started to climb up, all floating up to a fixed place, all the stone structures rise from the ground and back there place.
Edi watched in amazement at the temple being restored before him, like that harry potter scene.
"I love your magic Roi," Edi said, walking to the now finished temple, looking like it was never damaged in the first place.
"It has its uses," Roi said, walking behind Edi as they all looked at the temple, seeing a circle in the middle with a destroyed axe, a podium around the front with pillars on it.
On the top was a large metal beast, His body is made of chrome and steel, and he radiates fire from his eyes, nose, mouth, and the exhaust pipes on his back. His head has three spikes, one on top of his head and two on either side. He has two massive tusks and two smaller ones on his lower jaw, as well as massive fangs. His hands are also in the shape of devil horns.
"That is pure metal, right there" Edi said, looking at the monument of a monster.
"It appears to be made of chrome and steel," Roi said, looking at what the material is made of.
"Not what I mean asshole" Edi said, walking forward to the destroyed axe.
Edi grabs the hilt to see the axe itself.
"Hey Roi, can you fix this?" Edi asked, pulling out his old axe and showing it to Roi.
"This material is strange to me," Roiyara said, never seeing his metal before.
Deconstruction
The broken axe glowed, lightning strikes the metal as they stand in shock from the metal, Roi and Edi look at the broken axe.
It hasn't been broken down to its basic material.
Never seeing this before.
Roiyara grabs Edi's old axe, putting it next to the broken axe.
Assimilate
The broken axe came together with the other axe, fusing with Edi's old axe as lightning strikes it again, landing down in the centre of the circle.
"What's with the lighting?" Edi said, never seen this before.
"This wasn't my doing" Roi said, looking at the axe now stuck on the ground.
"Well you fixed it" Edi said, reaching for the hilt of the axe, grunting as he pulls the axe out,
Holding the axe in the air while lighting hits it.
"Yeah-heh-heh" Edi shouted, now a double-sided axe with fire-marks on the blade.
"Badass design" Edi said, looking at the axe.
"I called it The Separator"" Edi names the axe, seeing an axe like this needs a name.
"It's an axe, not a separator" Roi stated, not getting the name.
"Let me enjoy this man," Edi said, putting the axe on his back.
Roiyara walks forward to see the metal beast.
"An impressive statue" Roiyara said, Edi climbing up the steps, seeing something else.
"Roi, come up here?" Edi called, Roi walked up the stairs, looking at what Edi's pointing at.
A broken guitar, not just a wooden guitar from the mediaeval times but from modern times.
"That Flying V guitar, it was not made until 1958 in our world, why is it here?" Edi shouted, looking at the modern guitar in shock, Roiyara thought about it.
"Perhaps we weren't the first the pope's god summon to this world" Roiyara figures, see a guitar from there world.
"That bastard shit god, and it's broke too" Edi said, picking up the two broken bits of the guitar, a string broke off.
Looking to see the name of it.
"Clementine?" Edi read the name of the back of the broken guitar,
"Roi, you need to fix this, right now" Edi demands, Roi grabs the broken guitar.
Deconstruction
This time the guitar actually breaks down, all parts dismantle into a place, Edi gives his guitar to Roi.
Assimilate
The parts of the guitar merged with Edi's guitar, now changed to a Flying V guitar.
Fortify
The guitar glows, the stings all fix and brand new, black and white with flames at the bottom.
"Nice Roi, You are gorgeous Clementine, don't worry, I'll protect and love you with all my heart" Edi said to Clementine, turning a few stings on her.
"The guitar isn't alive, Edi," Roi said, seeing his friend treat the guitar like it's alive.
"It is to me mate" Edi said, playing a few notes.
SPARKK
SPARKK
Lighting struck next to them.
"Holy shit" Edi said seeing lighting appear. Roi stands back.
"Did you sing a song?" Roi asked, Edi shook his head, playing a few notes.
SPARK SPARK
Lightning strikes in front of them, Edi grins.
"Oh hell yeah" Edi said, playing a few more notes as lighting strikes around them.
"Edi stop" Roi said, stepping back to avoid the lighting.
"Aha oww" Edi stops playing, seeing that Clementine is red hot.
"Jesus, the more I play the hotter it gets" Edi said, seeing the guitar cool down as he grabs it.
"You should stop now," Roi said, stopping Edi from playing anymore.
"That fucken music right there" A voice called out, Roi grabs his hammer and shield, Edi pulls out the Separator.
"Who's there?" Roi called out, stepping forward. Lave spouted out, forming into a rock pile..
"Hahahahahahhahah '' The voice laughs out loud, the lava rock breaks apart, a human wearing a dark robe comes out, turning around taking off the hood.
"Well it about fucken time" The man said, wearing robes based off Black Sabbath's old stage costumes. He has many golden rings on his fingers, different crosses, long hair and red sunglasses.
This man looks around the place.
"Nice setup man, you fixed this place up great" the man said, looking around the place, Edi looked at him confused but Roi didn't, pointing his hammer at him.
"Who are you?" Roi asked him, ready to kill his man.
"Oh me? Oh, I'm nobody. I'm just the Guardian of Metal." The Guardian of Metal said, both looking at him.
"The what?" Edi said, putting his axe back, but Roi kept his hammer out.
"Guardian of metal, we asked your name?" Roi said, looking at the man in the robes.
"That all you gonna get my big friend, look at it, a thing of beauty he is' ' the Guardian of Metal, going to the big metal beast in the middle.
"This beauty is Ormagöden, an ancient creature of the omnipotent and immortal type, "The Eternal Fire Beast", "Cremator of the Sky", and "Destroyer of the Ancient World" and other titles you don't need to hear" Guardian of Metal spoke about the statue in the middle.
"Those are sweet titles," Edi said, looking at the beast next to him.
"Yeah they are" The Guardian of Metal said, Edi looks at him.
"So you don't work with the demon king" Edi asked. Hoping his guy isn't an enemy,
"Please, he wished from me" The Guardian said, Roi still looking at him like a threat.
"Roi, put that fucken hammer down" Edi said, Roi looks at him.
"We don't know if he's a threat," Roi said, looking at him, as Edi shakes his head.
"He's cool, we could use the help" Edi said, Roi puts the hammer down.
"Sorry about him, he's a bit of a block head" Edi said to him.
"My head is not a block" Roi stated, the Guardian laughs at them.
"Na man, ya got a good friend there" The Guardian of metal said, as Edi gets close to him.
"So you're gonna help us out, fight monsters and stuff" Edi asked, the Guardian appearing behind him.
"Naaa, I'm not a fighter, I'm more of, what shall we say, a keeper of timeless secrets, that's all" The Guardian of Metal said, looking at Edi.
"Prove yourself worthy, maybe I'll share some with you two" The Guardian said to them, walking forward.
"Really?" Edi asked, seeing how cool his guy is.
"For instance, did you know this world was once ruled by an ancient race of titans?" The Guardian tells them, getting the two attention.
"Now they were something" the Guardian points at that.
"They took every part of that old firebreast" the Guardian said, looking at Ormagöden.
"They took his blood, his fire, his steel flesh. They EVEN took his scream and they made a million other things, including music. Fucking beautiful music, man!" The Guardian said,
"You cannot take an animal scream" Roi stated, Edi hits his side to shut him up.
"Oh these blokes did, And when they rose to the heavens and became gods, they left instructions behind" the Guardian counts his fingers.
"How to make cars, music and the whole deal" The Guardian said to them.
"You think anyone notices?" he questions.
"Pffft! Nah. Bunch of wankers, they ended up destroying this place and burying it all" the Guardian said looking around the place.
"Are you from our world? No one here says wankers" Roi asked, seeing his man looks familiar from his home.
"Shut the fuck up Roi, the Guardian is talking" Edi said, wanting to hear more.
"No one figures this out, until you two came long, whoever you are" The Guardian of Metal points at them.
"Which means you two must be worthy of the gods' favour. I suppose" The Guardian of Metal ponders.
"We are not worshipers of these metal gods," Roi said, denying any religious belief.
"Now don't cut me off just yet mate" Edi said, getting really interested in these Gods of metal, The Guardian appears behind Roi.
"You should have thought of that before you fixed their temple" The Guardian points out, pointing a finger at Edi.
"You open the door, getting their attention" The Guardian then pointed at Roi.
"And you my friend fixed this place up, earn you both a spot in the gods favour" The Guardian said, Appearing next to Edi.
"So listen, if you do something that pleases the gods, they might reward you two…" The guardian pulls out a lighter.
"With a FIRE TRIBUTE. Hahahaha" the Guardian laughs, lighting the lighter and throwing it to Edi, he is caught but nearly burns his hands.
"When you paid enough tribute, come see me, I'll share some more of the secrets of Metal with you, got it?" The Guardian of metal said, Edi grins at him. ready to accept the deal.
But Roi grabs his shoulder.
"I'm sorry but we don't have the time" Roi said, dragging Edi,
"WHAT! No way fuck off Roi, I like what his guy is selling, let me do this" Edi gets out of Roi grip.
"We don't have time to follow another crusade" Roi said, already hearing one preacher talk about demons and shit, he doesn't need another.
"But this is better, we can do it by me playing and you building, and we learn cool stuff" Edi said, hearing he can learn the secrets of Metal by playing his guitar, sign him up.
"We have to save Nagumo, that's why we're here" Roi said, reminding Edi of their friend still trapped in the dungeon, stopping Edi.
"But…I….We….Fuck" Edi grunts, wanting to learn about Metal but his friend is still in danger.
"We are sorry to waste your time, Guardian of metal but we must save our friend" Roi apologised to him,
"Your friend's trapped in the dungeon, he's doing alright" the Guardian of Metal said, getting Roi and Edi attention.'
"You know where Nagumo is?" Edi asked, the Guardian gave a so-so with his fingers.
"Kind of, I know where he is now, but not where he is going later. That Oscar doesn't know when he is taking someone's property, bloody wanker" The Guardian said, Roi steps forward.
"Tell me where?" Roi asked, but the Guardian shakes his head.
"Can't do that mate, even if I wanted to" The Guardian said, holding out a finger.
"Tell you what, let's make a deal, if you fix a few more temples around here, I'll send you to your friend, deal?" the Guardian said, holding his hand out.
Roi doesn't take it.
"Why can't you tell us now?" Roi asked
"The dungeon is overlapping the temples, you fix them and I get you to where you want to go" The guardian explains, still holding out his hand.
"Hell you could learn a thing or two from these temples, what do ya say?" The Guardian sticks his hand out, Edi shakes it.
"Deal mate, come on Roi, we got Metal gods to appease" Edi said, Roi signs while the Guardian chuckles.
"Good lads, I'll even give you some wheels" The Guardian said, letting out a sharp whistle,
VRRRROOOOMMMMMM
Both turn to see a car driving in, a highly modified 1932 Ford Highboy, in black with flames on the side.
"Holy shit" Edi shouted running to the car, the Guardian grins.
"Not bad right" The Guardian of Metal said, Roi looked shocked at this.
"How?" Roi asked, seeing a car in the mediaeval world.
"The secrets of the metal my friend, fix those temples and the path will be revealed" The Guardian of metal grins, Edi jumps on the seat.
"Roi get on this" Edi calls out, Roi signs, taking a seat next to Edi.
"I'll call this hot rod, the Deuce" Edi blesses the car with a name.
"That is dumb" Roiyara said about the name.
"Fuck you man" Edi said, starting the car.
"You know how to drive?" Roi asked, Edi nodded.
"It's not that hard," Edi said, pulling the gear shift to drive, turning the wheel to head out, but stopping.
"Wait, what do we have to do for a Fire Tribute?" Edi asked, not sure, Roi hit his head.
"Please the fuckin' Gods of metal, man! Figure it Out!" The Guardian of Metal said.
"Right, We'll be back, covered in Metal god love" Edi calls out,
"You cannot be covered in love, love isn't an object to cover yourself in" Roi said, Edi drives away as they follow the rock path.
"This is smooth and sexy Roi '' Edi said, driving through the rocky road, yet it was so smooth to them.
"How does this help us find Nagumo?" Roi asked,
"You heard the Metal guy, you fix the temples and the path shows us the way" Edi explains, Roi shakes his head.
"I don't like this," Roi said, Edi groaned.
"Quit your bitching, you get to fix buildings and I learn metal secrets, win-win" Edi said, Roi signs as he pulls out his Status plate.
Noticing something.
"Edi , look at my Status plate" Roiyara said, Edi looks at the Roi plate, shocked at what he sees.

"Your class changed to a roadie?" Edi asked, reading the skills.
"I have more skills, what's a roadie?" Roiyara asked,
""Roadie" is just a nickname for a member of a road crew, there are people employed by a touring band of musicians to set up and maintain their equipment. They're really great at hauling stuff, hang out in the shadows, only wear black, and are really hard to see from far away" Edi explains the basics of being a roadie.

"It changes me too," Edi said, showing his status plate to Roiyara.
"We need to figure this out" Roiyara said, Edi grins at him, happy to get the Metal gods favour.
"After we save Nagumo," Roi stated, making Edi frown.
"Roiyara, we are driving a car in an active volcano, fixing temples to gods of heavy metal, you think Nagumo the concern right now" Edi asked,
"Yes," Roiyara said, Edi groaned.
"Fine, but each temple you fix, I learn everything I can" Edi said, going to learn all his Metal god shit one way or another.
"These Metal gods sound better than that lord shit god, or whatever the fucks name is" Edi said, seeing the broken temple ahead.
"Good thing it's only one road, right Roi" Edi said, Roiyara looks forward.
"Another cave in the dungeon was created by someone, that explanation must have caused this cave in" Roi figures, looking at the damaged temple.
Edi pulls up the Deuce to the side, as both get out of the car, readying their weapons to fix another temple.
