" Besides, we cannot 'judge' anothers 'belief.", said the male. " I must agree, with Chilchuk.", said a taller Blonde male. " I'll 'think' on it.", said ' Senshi'.

" What of the 'demon' we faced?", asked the 'taller' woman. " The Black, crystal 'thing'?", asked the 'shorter' woman. " 'It' become a ' portal', and

'drew' us here.", said the taller, Blonde male. " Do you think, it was a 'last resort' of the ' Mad Mage' Lalios?", asked the taller woman.

" Can't say, Falin.", said the tall male.

" Yes.", said Parker. " And, you would want us, to come with you.", asked Laios. " You're waking about, with PURE Silver and Gold coins,and jewelery.

" Back shelves.", said Sora.

He walked back in, with bags of, 'tray' and 'cup' Ramen, ' blushing'. " Don't ask.", he said.

3. Invasion

Parker stepped into, Sciences and Technology. " Ursula, have something?" " Well, Agent Paker. Thus far, the coins and jewels are of 'great' value, if not

greater. There is, Neuroi energy residue on them. Thus, with it, I was able to find our visitors dimensional coordinates, with Christina Barkhorn's help."

replied Ursula. " Right. I'll get Yoshika to ready, 'Avenger'.", said Parker.

Delicious In Dungeon Universe

Avenger arrived by, 'slip drive' portal. " Castle found.", said Silvie. " Prepare to land, Code: Blue.", said Yoshika.

NCIS, Laios' Party, and Avengers, stood before the castle, once 'center' of the 'Golden Kingdom'. " Neuroi signatures, found.", sad Winry, using a

cell phone App, which is, specialized. " Let's go, in.", said Yoshika.

The heavily armed Witches, walked in first. Followed by, NCIS and The Adventurers.

" I know Archeologists, would love to study this.", said Lynette. " What are those?", asked Senshi.

" People going into ancient or 'ruined' places, finding historical truths.", sai Edthya Rossmann.

" A 'worthless' occupation.", said Senshi. " Searchig, for 'truth' and/or ' knowledge', is hardly 'worthless'.", said Edthya.

They spotted..., " This was a way, into the dungeon.", said Laios, of the once stone, spiral staircase , now of Reds and Blacks.

They had reached bottom, to a Blackened, crystal corridor. " Eyes up people, no telling what 'security' is in place.", said Parker.

From the upper walls, was 'orbs'. But, the 'orbs' has deady 'Red' eyes, which..., " LOOK OUT!", shouted Yoshika, as she and the other Witches,

raised their sheilds, and blockd he deadly beams. They raise their fiearms, with Litvyak and Rossmann armed wth ppsh and MP44,

shot back, and wiped out the Neuroi 'weapons'.

They find themselves in a widened chamber and a 'walkway' to a door left open. " Please, proceed. " , said a voice.

Stepping in, they hadfoun a seat 'slowly' turning. " Greetngs, 'Bridge'.", sad the Neuroi fore 'Yoshika' copy.

" Is she...,?" " SENSHI!", said the other Adventurer members. " Neuroi can take other forms, this one they use for communication.", said Yoshika.

" Due to the fact, we almost started more ' peaceful' relations, between our kinds. When we arrived, we had slept, but the sinking of the castle,

forced us, underground. So, we inhabited the 'level' below it.", said the Neuroi. " So, you were here this whole time?", asked Laios.

" Correct. But, you and your 'party', managed to raise the castle, percieveing yourselves as a 'threat'.", said The Neuroi.

" We didn't know, you were here. If we did, we would had taken 'different' actions.", said Marcelle.

" 'That' MIGHT be true. ", said The Neuroi. " Look, why not trying to be 'neighbors'? I know things on the surface, may not be ideal on many 'fronts'.

But, it's better to face them together, than alone.", said Yoshika. " I suppose, it is 'possible'.", said the Neuroi.

Laios stepped forward, extending a hand. " Neighbors?" " Neighbors.", said the Neuroi, accepting it.
