@EurmalEye The monster roared and teleported back. It raised it's arm and suddenly, the monster healed itself. It then shot a dark energy blast at Leval. Rika listened to him and gave a small nod. For a small moment, he had control over his demon side. Maybe now he could control it a little better and use his light magic. He had to try. He ran up and manipulated the darkness, then converted it with light he threw it at the monster as he did he shouted over to Leval.

"Use your magic to make it small! It will still be just as powerful but harder to see!"

If Leval did this the being wouldn't see the light magic and would be hit by hit, sending it flying back and crumbling the chest once more. It screamed loudly and send fire up at them once more.

Kai

Kai heard Seninias warning and saw the monster shot out of the ground and fire ice spikes he filled his body with energy and took to the sky his drone still hovering around him. Kai smiled hopeing this monster would put up more of a fight than the last one other wise it would be no fun at all.

@The One

Leval dodged out of the way of the energy blast, rolling on his right arm to avoid causing further damage to his injured arm. He nodded at what Rika had said and complied shrinking the light to an almost imperceptible sliver. The death being was about to use fire surge once more, but Leval wasted no time fearful that the creature would teleport away and heal as soon as it's attack was finished. "Block with water!" Seizing the moment of the creatures distraction, Leval teleported just inside its outstretched arms attempting to hook onto the center of the creatures power with Ash on the very top of his staff bringing it with range of Ash's healing magic. If the attacked successed, he would push off the being with all of his strength including using that of the staff shrinking to wrench the center from the death being. Leval hoped that the presence of Ash would weaken its defenses.

Kong

Kong continued to run straight for the ape when suddenly two walls were summoned, both sending magic missiles at him. He huffed and got out the way before running up and doing a jumping slam against the ape's head as he surrounded the polestaff in thick earth this would cause a huge explosion knocking the two back.

Yoshihiro

Yoshihiro watched as somebody came to help him, he recognized it as Argentina's pet but the question was, where was Argentina. Suddenly the monster came right at him and slashed him with it's tail and before he could react he was slashed again. He quickly moved and growled a little, blood dripping onto the floor. Something told him that Argentina got separated from her pet and now he was looking for help. He looked to the werewolf and spoke quickly.

"This thing is fast, we need to be careful."

He created water from the thin air and healed his back quickly. He then looked to the sky. It was already getting dark and the moon was starting to show. He used his power over the moon to make a full moon and thus giving him a big power boost. With the moon now out he was at full power. He looked to the thing again getting ready.

@PharaohAtem

Seninia

Watched as he attempt to bind the creature failed. It then fired ice spikes at her and she raised her hands in fright. Suddenly they stopped and she sighed softly. She didn't know she had the power to do that. She released her grip on them to see them fall and smash to the ground. She then spoke to Kai gently.

"Try not to hurt it too much please."

She knew it was attacking her but she didn't want to hurt it back. It was only defending it's territory, or that's what she believed. She continued to stay floating in the air for now watching the ground closely as she did.

@EurmalEye

Rika shook his head at Leval's command and absorbed the fire as he did he teleported behind the creature using the light and quickly send another a huge light beam at the creature, although as he was doing this, he was beginning to lose control, his teeth starting to glow and his eyes were glowing. He hadn't got any bandages on him to wrap up his eye. The death being was about to dodge and hit Leval when it was hit by the light beam, it screamed loudly which gave Leval enough time to take out the energy source. As he did the creature crumbled to the floor, turning to dust. Rika quickly fell to the floor covering up his eye as he did.

"Leval, please, have you got any bandages, or something which can cover my eye?"

He looked to him in which he would see Rika's demon teeth coming out. It seemed he still hadn't got control over his demon form yet.

Suddenly, the kitsune glowed a bright golden colour. She walked over to her grave and then, the kitsune began to change it's shape and form. A loud laugh was heard and there stood a woman.



"I'm free! I'm free! I'm finally free! 10,000 years and I'm finally free!"

She sighed and looked to Leval before giving a soft bow. She was so glad that she was free. Without their help, she would still been trapped in that damn fox form.

@The One

Leval quickly tore at the bottom of cloak, also storing the energy source he had ripped out for later observation. He quickly wrapped the dark fabric around Rika's demonic eye and then pressed his fingers against Rika's temples. Rika would see the same environment he had used in training of the holy landscape that he had said would help him control himself. As an added touch, calming classical music began to play around Rika. He could hopefully relax in the environment for a time to regain his control. "I am proud of you Rika, you did an amazing job keeping yourself under control."

He turned and watched the Kitsune glow orange in her fox form and turn into a woman. The Kitsune gave him a gentle now, which he returned in kind. "I am glad I could help you. But I have several questions and time is of the essence. Who took Shela? Where is he keeping her? Why does he have abilities like Arkan?"

@The One@DragonKingUk
*Argentina Rhosphrus*

Zephroth nodded at Yoshihiro acknowledging him and also showing that he understood. It had hit two duplicates with enough force to do destroy them. They disintegrated into dust but he quickly made two more. Him and his copys began to circle the beast and occasionally roaring to draw its attention to him and to antagonise it at the same time.

He quickly realised that it was focusing on Yoshihiro so the few copies that were behind the beast launched attacks at its feet and legs if any hit the beast Zephroth would attempt to shred its leg to peices to cauze a much damage as possible.

He didnt want to show off his earth ablity just yet as he was trying to figure out all the abilities of his opponent, he would however put up a wall infont of Yoshihiro to protect hi from any potentially fatel attacks. While it may not always stop the attack completely it will alway help to lessen the damage.

Argentina was beginning to regain consciousness but could not open her eyes quite yet but she could now hear what was going on around her and attempt to piece together what was happening.

@EurmalEye Rika smiled a little when he acted fast, placing something over his eye, and even allowing him to see heaven as well as use music to calm him down. He let out a soft sigh, closing his over eye as his fangs went away and his demonic eye stopped glowing. He smiled a minute before standing up.

"Thank you very much."

He looked to the kitsune who stood forward and spoke softly.

"I do not know any of those questions. I don't even know who Arken is. All I know is the masked man trapped me in that fox form so I couldn't fight against him."

Rika shook his head quickly, he was getting a little worried.

"Wait, what? Who's this masked man? Who took Shela? What's going on here? What about everyone else?"

He looked to Leval, now confused. What was happening this whole time while he was fighting? Did other people enter too? Well, that was obvious now but then where were they?

@Maria 127 @DragonKingUk @PharaohAtem

The monster watched as Yoshihiro healed himself. It screamed loudly when it's legs were attacked, it turned around to slash the pets with it's claws before jumping at Yoshihiro and shot acid out of it's mouth. It landed quickly and used it's tails to hopefully stab his left and right side then, as the acid melted the earth wall, he went to slash Yoshihiro.

The earth room continued to burrow underground. It shot up again and scremed loudly, suddenly a barrage of ice spikes shot at Senina and Kai. It burrowed in the ground and continued to shot ice spikes above the ground, trying to shoot them both from underground as it burrowed around.

Kill Shela, that was the test to show ones loyalty to this masked being. His description of her was one of certain words almost similar to how SHela had described herself to everyone earlier. "Why did you not simply kill her yourself if you wanted it? Instead you throw her in some cage?" Irvine shrugged in genuine confusion of the situation. He continued to spin the Shadow Hilt in his hand but eventually stopped concentrating the energy around him to more a blade from its base. "Plenty of energy here I see... good." The energy eventually morphed itself into a sharpened short sword. He ran a single finger from his left hand against the blades edge to ensure. As blood seeped from the freshly made wound Irvine sucked on his finger and smile. "Should do the trick..." He looked down to his side imitating the motion of creating a mimic and... nothing. "Odd... One moment"

Irvine continued to attempt to hold the masked mans attention of trying to create a mimic. "This is that damn light bringers fault." But over by the cages the mimic was already formed treading softly as he examined them before fading back to the shadows. Irvine held out his free hand looking at his blade. "Key? This is the best I can muster, feeling a bit weak."

"Damn!" Leval slammed his staff into the ground with his right hand. He could feel the pain of burnt left arm beginning to creep into his left. He breathes heavily for a moment calming himself down. He glanced back towards the Kitsune apologetically. "I am sorry, it was foolish for me to think that you have that information. Is there anything you might know that could help us? Anything at all would do."

He turned to the obviously worried Rika. "I think the masked man is the one controlling the entire situation. We fought and he kidnapped Shela... it was my fault. I threw everything I could at him and I failed." His knuckles tightened on his staff again, he calmed down again quickly to avoid upsetting Rika. "I don't know about the others, it's possible the man might have taken some of them as well. But I promise I am going to find them." He looked back at the Kitsune.

"My name is Leval and this is Rika. Can I take it that your name is Isabella? If this man trapped you 10,000 years ago, then this energy source I took must have belonged to him at some point. Are either of you skilled in dowsing or psychometry? If not, we will have to find someone that is to find him."

@EurmalEye

Rika looked down and then looked to Isabella. He stared at her for a moment then looked to Leval. Maybe, having this kitsune on their side would help them out quite a bit.

"I don't, but maybe, Isabella, is it possible you can see who is here or anything?"

Isabella looked to Rika and then looked back to Leval.

"All I know that these creatures were created by the masked man, and I can sense everyone here. Let's see..."

She closed her eyes and began to sense everyone in the maze. After a few minutes she looked over to Rika, before looking to Leval for a minute.

"Sadly, the only ones who are here are Keith, Kai, Kong, Yoshihiro, Red, Senina, Kuro, Yoruichi and Zephroth, Argentina's pet however, she is not with him nor in the maze."

She looked at Leval before holding out her hand, suddenly her hand glowed brightly and he would feel his arm heal using her spirit magic. She smiled at him gently then looked back to Rika. She said nothing more.

@akirashadow The masked man noticed the mimic, however, he played along for now. Once he was ready, he gave a little laugh and clicked his fingers, Irvine would immediately noticed that he lost all control of his mimic, making it disappear. He looked to him with a serious face.

"I can see everything, boy. Now, if you are up to the task, go kill Shela. The door is now open."

He looked to Shela's cage, seeing her collared. He smiled, for the moment she was asleep and her food was still not eaten nor was her dirty disgusting water had been drank. He turned back to Irvine to watch him.

@The One

Leval blinked in surprise not only had she been able to tell them who was still in the maze, but also what their names were. The Kitsune raised an arm towards him and he felt a peculiar sensation in his left arm. He moved it out from under the cloak and his arm was fully healed. Some burn scars remained where the arm had charred, but that was a very small price to pay. Leval smiled warmly at the Kitsune, bowing again in thanks. Leval considered the situation carefully and came to one conclusion. "We have to get out of the maze and get help. Maybe Arken can track down the masked man and get Shela and whoever else was taken back. We take down the Masked Man all the other creatures will probably stop. Isabella, are you able to lead us to the exit now in this form? I can fill you in on the details about us, Arken, and Ordinary Mystical Academy on the way."

@EurmalEye Isabella thought for a moment and shook her head. It was best not to leave the others as they could easily be captured. She wanted to make sure everyone was safe. She closed her eyes to see who was in the most danger by sensing out injuries. So far the one who was most in danger was Kuro however he had his pet with him. So the next option was Red.

"Let's not leave yet. We will not be able to enter again once we fully leave. The maze traps everyone outside, forbidding them to enter until everyone inside has left. Let us seek out the others and ensure they do not get captured. The one who is in need of the most help so far is Kong, let us go to him."

With that she began to lead the two towards where Kong was. After a few minutes walk she stopped for a minute. She looked towards Rika and Leval with a serious face.

"Rika, Leval, Kong and I will be able to defeat the creature on our own. So, here's the plan. Leval go right until you come to the end, then take a left turn then turn right at the halfway point. Go straight until you reach Yoshihiro and Zephroth. Rika, go left then left again at the end of the path then turn right and keep walking until you reach Red and Keith. After that, I'll contact you."

She nodded then continued onwards until she reached Kong. She looked at the ape then looked over to Kong.

"Let me help, I can show you an exit."

She stood forward and stared at the other ape, getting ready to fight.

@DragonKingUk

As Kong dodged the missiles, they turned and continued to follow him, seeking him out, and just before the polestaff hit him the monster jumped back and kicked the pole staff which would make it smack right into his face. As the explosion happened the two were sent back however as Kong was sent back he would be hit by the missiles immediately.

Kong

Kong was hit by his own polestaff which exploded in his face, sending him flying back into the multiple missiles which shot at him and blew up against his back. He screamed loudly before falling to the floor. He couldn't get up, he couldn't move. He had fallen completely unconscious and his life now depended on the new comer.

Yoshihiro

Yoshihiro quickly jumped back to avoid the attack, as he did he grabbed his sword and used the power of the moon to create a huge Luna Beam with one slice of his sword which would head straight towards the creature. As he landed he froze the entire floor, making it solid so the creature found it hard to move. He then gave himself ice skates, he skated away from the creature and span around to face him. After that he created a large sand storm to hopefully make sand get into his eyes and make it harder for it to attack.

"Everything?..." Irvine tilts his head then looks over to Argentina, Shela & Ceres. He then turned and faced the masked man. "Well I do hope that's exaggeration." Irvine smirked as he turned towards the cages, giving a moment for what he said to sink in before turning back. "Wait... even this?" Irvine motioned towards the shadow hilt and the blade swiftly extended outward towards the masked man. At the same time, a new mimic came from behind with a small knife as it lunged the knife forward towards his back. Both attacks merely distractions as Irvine's shadow wrapped a thin, protective layer around his neck. In the distance within the open cage a third mimic was prying at the collar around Shela's neck. It didn't need to break it off, nor did it imply to. It just needed to cause it to crack, find a weak point to make it no longer fit for purpose, but not so badly rendered that its broken purpose, whatever may be was obvious.@The One

@akirashadow Suddenly all the mimics would disappear then he grabbed his hand stopping him. He smiled, and clicked his fingers. Suddenly a collar appeared around his neck. He also made it impossible to create any more mimics.

"Try that again, I dare you. Now, I will give you one last chance.

He let go of his hand and pushed him towards Shela. If he did anything again, he would throw him in a cage like the rest of the mangy dogs.
