[Log File #011 - Dark Agon, Dark Aether] I emerged from the portal, this time landing more gracefully. Getting back on my feet, I heard the portal generator powering down. I knew I would be using the portal later, but for now I needed to press on.

I started to press forward, but stopped when I remembered that I wasn't on Aether anymore. I walked to the edge of the light zone that covered the portal platform. Tentatively, I stuck my hand out into Dark Aether's atmosphere. I could feel a searing pain as soon as my hand passed through the light zone, so I quickly pulled it back.

Looking around the portal chamber on Dark Aether, I noticed some light crystals that matched the description what I-Sha had shown me. Now that I knew what to look for to keep my energy reserves up, I made my move. Quickly moving from one safe zone to the next, I eventually reached a Bomb Slot on the other side of the room. I activated my Morph Ball, jumped into the slot, and set off a bomb. The adjacent gate unlocked, and my HUD informed me that something similar had happened back on the surface of Aether. Deactivating the Morph Ball, I left the portal chamber.

The next room offered little in the way of hostile resistance, but I still recorded the Inglets to my logbook for future reference. After dispatching them I moved to the next room, where I found a Recharge Station. Having gone through many adventures, I knew that I would need this. I stepped onto the platform and relaxed, allowing the Station to refill my energy reserves. When the process finished I proceeded to the next area.

The area I entered at this point was the huge chamber that had greeted me back on Aether, when I first entered Agon. Although most everything looked the same, on thing bothered me. The sculpture of the giant worm-like creature was missing.

I didn't have much time to question this, because right then I heard an ear-piercing shriek. The shriek did not sound human or friendly. That left only one possible explanation: something was about to attack me...
