Behind the door was a strange, [url=https://i.imgur.com/6oomaYl.jpeg]ancient-looking tunnel[/url] that seemingly went on forever and ever… Lisa raised her hand and summoned a Tetrablemmid that was wrapped in a glowing cocoon of webs. Before it reached the size of a sedan, the spider burst out, and it was large enough for one person to mount on it. That one person was Lisa, who climbed on, and then waved her hand in front of her face a few times. 

[color=764820]”... Man, it [i]reeks[/i] in here!”[/color] Lisa laughed… before looking at the trail of dissolved flesh that Ignatius left behind. She pointed at it, before she silently followed….

[color=e77fbf]”Whose fault is that?!"[/color] Ella shouted, covering her nose with her hand in the hope that it would help… but it just made it harder to breath. Gross! She almost stepped in a piece of dissolved flesh, grimacing. 

[color=DC143C]"You couldn’t have made the spider big enough for another person?"[/color] Saskia muttered, at the back of the group.

[color=764820]”... I just like it when Ella walks in front of me, that’s all,”[/color] Lisa said, leaning forward on the spider.

[color=e77fbf]”I’ll carry you, Saskia!"[/color] Before Saskia could complain, Ella scooped her up in a bridal carry. They were pretty light so it wasn’t difficult to carry them at all. She peered in the little stone… shelves as they walked. [color=e77fbf]”What do you think this place is used for? I don’t see any artifacts!"[/color] 

Lisa shrugged, [color=764820]”Who knows! We just need to get the Orange-Stone from the white-guy!”[/color] She said, as they proceeded forward… Eventually, meeting at a nexus-chamber that split off into eight tunnels that each went a different direction. The trail of dissolved flesh ended here.

[color=764820]”... Oh, this isn’t good,”[/color] Lisa groaned. [color=764820]”We’re gonna get lost! Where did he go?!”[/color]

Ella stopped, squinting her eyes in the hope she’d catch sight of something, sniffing the air as if she’d be able to smell of dissolved flesh… but she couldn’t. [color=e77fbf]”Let’s try them all, starting from the left!"[/color]

[color=DC143C]"Or Lisa sends a spider down each,"[/color] Saskia suggested.

[color=764820]”I mean… I don't have that Joint Cast with Kari anymore,”[/color] Lisa shrugged. [color=764820]”It's not like I can see thro-”[/color]

A few droplets of magma from the ceiling cut Lisa off, before she looked up.

Ignatius was hanging from the ceiling. He opened his maw and spewed magma at the three. Lisa tried to dodge on the spider but it hit her in the shoulder and splashed on her face. The spider was cooked, and Lisa hit the ground screaming.

Ella screamed, pulling Saskia close to her chest and rolling to the side. Magma splashed across her back, burning her skin and through the magical girl outfit. She gritted her teeth at the pain, rolling across the ground with Saskia in her arms as she re-did her magical metamorphosis - narrowly avoiding baring it all for the world to see.

[color=e77fbf]"You evil bastard!"[/color] Ella yelled, ignoring the burning agony across her back. She let go off Saskia, who was entirely unharmed, and jumped to her feet. With a brandish of her Channeler she shot a beam of burning light at him, and it hit the flesh that was weakened by Lisa’s acid, and he screamed in pain.

[color=DC143C]"Oh, looking to go another round?"[/color] Saskia said, standing and shoving another bone spear through her arm, snapping it off.

Ignatius didn’t even respond… he simply fell from the ceiling, attempting to flop on the three.

Saskia haphazardly threw the bone spear as she ran out of the way, leaping to the side with a grunt, foot getting crushed underneath him with a horrible snap. Lisa had to drag herself away to the unseen tunnels to cocoon.

[color=e77fbf]"Saskia!"[/color] Ella had been far enough away she just had to keep rolling to avoid it. She got to her feet, running forward with a steel hard foot aimed for his acid damaged side. The attack ripped through skin and exposed his flesh and organs as Ignatius roared. He swiped at Ella with a burning claw. Ella raised her arms to grab the claw with strengthened hands, wincing as it burnt her. She shoved it to the side as Saskia twisted around, throwing the bone spear still in their hands at his other eye. Digging into his eye-socket, and he roared again, spraying fire wildly. Saskia pulled herself out, rolling away from the fire.

Ignatius whipped his tail towards Ella in a wild frenzy, his tail with an aura of fire. It slammed into Ella, sending her flying [i]and[/i] burning through her leotard (thankfully she had a bra on).

[color=e77fbf]"How could you!"[/color] Ella shouted after hitting a wall, picking herself up with anger burning in her veins. Her magical girl outfit! This was- it was blasphemy against the true saviour of all, Sailor Moon! And she didn’t have time to remake it! [color=e77fbf]"By the power granted to me by the light, and my love of Sailor Moon, I will end your life as painfully as possible!"[/color] 

Saskia rolled her eyes, hand raising to shoot a blood bullet at Ignatius - which penetrated his skin. Ella jumped back in, fist aiming for the bone spear still in his eye… which dug deeper into his eye, and made a squishy sound as it popped out through the other side of his skull. 

Ignatius fell limp.

Ella continued to shove the bone spear into his eye brutally just to ensure he was dead, before pulling it out. Then, for good measure, she shoved it through the other eye, twisting it around to ensure she’d stabbed through his brain… who knew! It could be more protected in a dragon.

[color=DC143C]"Do you think he’s dead?"[/color] Saskia said drily, foot snapping back into place as they propped themself up.

[color=e77fbf]"Can’t be too safe… maybe I should open his mouth and shove it up through there too!"[/color] Ella said far too cheerfully. But this bastard had [i]burned[/i] her magical girl uniform. He had to pay, and she had to ensure he was dead to never hurt another magical girl outfit again. [color=e77fbf]"Oh, where’s Lisa?"[/color]

[color=764820]”... Right here!”[/color] Lisa walked up… all of her burns were gone, though her dress was immolated, burnt to scraps. She walked over to Ignatius’ “body”, and then kicked him in the head. [color=764820]”... I think he’s probably dead.”[/color]

She shrugged before clapping her hands together.

[color=764820]”Alright!”[/color] Lisa started. [color=764820]”... Where the hell is this vault?”[/color]

[color=e77fbf]"Ohhh I guess I’ll leave this then,"[/color] Ella said, pulling herself away from the jaws she’d been prying open and dropping the spear. She then looked at the eight tunnels, then at Lisa and Saskia. Then at the eight tunnels again. [color=e77fbf]"... down one of those?"[/color]

[color=DC143C]"No shit,"[/color] Saskia rolled her eyes. Of the three she was the least worn, just visible limping but fully clothed. [color=DC143C]"Of course that bastard couldn’t go any further… He sure was weak after all that shit about beating Morningstar."[/color] 

[color=e77fbf]"Yeah! Well, let’s just go down a random one,"[/color] Ella shouted, pointing to one in the middle.

Lisa shrugged, before turning to Ella and pointing in front of her, [color=764820]”I like it when you walk in front of me, Ella.”[/color]

She took a step forward - but came to a stop when she heard a footstep. Lisa immediately turned around, only to see nobody. She shrugged, and began her journey into the depths of the tunnels.

[hr]

[i]Hours later…[/i]

The three were exhausted on yet another Tetrablemmid spider. Lisa lay down on her back before they approached another vault door. It was enormous, but Lisa groaned.

[color=764820]”... [i]Another[/i] door?!”[/color] Lisa complained with a roll of her eyes. She hopped off the spider and walked up to it. She tapped it, as she looked back to Ella, [color=764820]”It doesn't have a homosexual repellent shield. So you’re okay!”[/color]

Lisa gave Ella a thumbs up.

[color=764820]”... So kick it down already so we can get this stupid rock!”[/color]

[color=e77fbf]"Phew, okay… sailor moon aurora, transform!"[/color] Ella shouted, spinning around in a very lazy transformation sequence (since it had worn off in the hours searching). [color=e77fbf]"Take this, door!"[/color]

She slammed her glowing, steel hard foot into it. It connected, but the door didn't even budge. And the door was really fucking hard!

[color=e77fbf]"Ow!"[/color] Ella moaned, pulling back her aching foot after another few kicks. [color=e77fbf]"It's not budging, girls!"[/color]

[color=DC143C]"Guess we’re going to have to be smart about this…"[/color] Saskia frowned.

[color=764820]”... Kick it [i]again![/i]”[/color] Lisa shouted without a single thought...

A fireball immolated the Spider that they had mounted earlier.

“... You three made it far enough!” They heard a voice behind them as what had to be a portal appeared… except that wasn’t any voice…

… It was Ignatius’.

The dragon-demon stepped through the portal, both of his eyes intact, and all the chemical burns that Lisa inflicted were healed. However, he wasn’t alone… he had an entire party with him. Flanking him at both sides were [url=https://i.imgur.com/Wc3C3nf.jpeg]two bipedal demonic dragon-like creatures[/url] that stood over fifteen feet tall. 

Behind them was a gathering of [url=https://i.imgur.com/Wpz5tb7.jpeg]four[/url], [url=https://i.imgur.com/XnH8GtW.jpeg]different[/url], [url=https://i.imgur.com/vbtFZiZ.jpeg]women[/url] that looked [url=https://i.imgur.com/k2O47gW.jpeg]familar.[/url]

One of them waved at the three, all of them smiling.

“We look familiar, don’t we?!” She said, “You killed our sister!”

“So, we’re going to [i]avenge[/i] her!” A different one said.

“We aren’t even going to kill you!” A different one spoke.

“We’re going to break you and make you our slaves for the rest of your miserable existence!” The fourth one spoke.

[color=e77fbf]”... You don't look familiar at all,"[/color] Ella squinted, trying to recognise them. Who were they trying to avenge? [color=e77fbf]"Are you sure that was us?"[/color]

“You three idiots were in the PRA office, right?” One of them asked.

[color=DC143C]"Ooo, what are your torture plans?"[/color] Saskia asked, blood crawling across her skin to form armour.

“Well-”

Spiders crawled from out of everyone’s view on top of the ceiling… Lisa kept her eyes on Ignatius as she asked, [color=764820]”... How are you [i]alive?![/i]”[/color]

Ignatius laughed.

“... I have [i]two[/i] brains,” He answered, before slamming a claw on the ground. “So…”

He opened his mouth, and sprayed a geyser of magma at the three… when he closed his mouth, he shouted.

“... [i]DIE![/i]”

Saskia flipped herself over and away with a blood tendril, wincing as blood once again hit the tip and melted it away. Lisa hopped up into the air using her spider-legs, climbing on the ceiling.

[color=e77fbf]”We should’ve stabbed him all over!"[/color] Ella shouted, as she dodged out of the way of what was a pretty obvious attack. She hit the wall to the side of the vault door and used it to push herself off. There were so many of them, who to hit first? The big one…

Ella ran right for Ignatius, if possible, bright colours of her remaining bracelets running down her skin and infusing her fists, aiming for a hard punch. A rock flipped up in the way of the punch, and the three strange women laughed.

“[i]You[/i] bested our sister with [i]that?[/i]” They spoke in unison as the rock launched at Ella. The two dragons charged after Ella with a roar… however, the ground rumbled as spiders - specifically funnel-web spiders - burst out of the ground like a geyser and covered the two dragons. They were trashed as they were covered in [i]hundreds[/i] of bites from one of the most venomous spiders on the planet.

Ignatius rolled his eyes, as he roared, spewing magma at Saskia. Suddenly faster, she both ran and pushed herself out of the way.

[color=e77fbf]”I bested your sister- well I don’t really remember!"[/color] Ella shouted, straight up punching through the rock, ignoring the pain that came with it. Alright, those three really wanted the fight. She picked up one of the pieces from the shattered rock, throwing it at them - which was telekinetically caught in mid-air - before leaping forward with a kick towards the nearest woman. Which knocked her out of formation, and sent her skidding across the floor with broken bones. However, she was telekinetically pulled back into the formation by the others. 

They stuck both hands out and sent out a telekinetic wave of force that had enough power to pull rocks off the ground and strong enough to launch Ella.

[color=DC143C]"[i]I[/i] killed her,”[/color] Saskia pointed out. A bone spear pushed through her arm, leaving a horrible gaping wound, and they snapped it off… Doing what seemed to be their new favourite thing, throwing it at Ignatius. He stuck his hand out and caught it mid-air before he snapped it in half. He roared as he charged Saskia, horns first, leaving behind a fire trail.

Sweat dripped down Lisa’s forehead, as she hung on the ceiling - the two dragon-like creatures were still thrashing around. However, the spiders on the ceiling were wrapped in glowing cocoons as Lisa applied the Hybridization spell. She sighed as she focused on the chaos below and the dragon-like creature… she launched herself at one of them, which was getting eaten alive by the spiders, and landed on its back. With the wallcrawler spell, she attached herself to its back and then used the spider legs to stab it to death [i]violently[/i].

Ella was slammed against the wall, breath knocked out of her. She managed to land in a crouching position. Her kick had easily knocked back one of them, so she just needed to get close enough again. She formed a small, bright pink ball of colour from one of her rings, like a small, steel ball, and shot it towards one of the sisters. She then immediately made another, and another, shooting six in quick succession as she ran towards them.

Saskia waited until Ignatius was almost at them before launching themselves into the air with their tendril, foot kicking down towards his head with a bone spear shooting out of it. It collided against his head, but didn't penetrate as he chomped his jaws at Saskia. His jaws caught their leg, but they super reinforced the blood armour there, leaving them at a deadlock of no penetration.

The Pale-Chorus raised their hands and flipped a stone upwards to tank the attack. They laughed, and one of them spoke,

“... Do you honestly think you can kill all of-” She was interrupted by a hole appearing in her chest. She stumbled for a few moments before falling backwards.

“Sister!” The rest of the Pale Chorus shouted.

[color=e77fbf]"What- who stole my kill?!"[/color] Ella shouted. She couldn't see anyone so she continued forward, straight up punching through the stone before flicking up her leg into a strong kick towards one of the remaining Pale-Chorus. Which knocked her over, but she flipped back up to her feet with telekinesis and threw both of her hands forward… before her stomach was cut open, and her intestines fell out and plopped to the ground. She screamed as she desperately tried to pull her intestines back in.

A bloody hand could be seen floating… and blood splattered against what had to be pieces of [i]somebody[/i]

The dragon creature had fallen to the ground - dead from a mixture of the venomous funnel-web spider’s venom and Lisa stabbing it - and Lisa turned to the other one. She saw Saskia in peril from the corner of her eye, so she waved her hand at the spiders on the other dragon and activated the acid-burst spell. They exploded and dissolved the creature in acid, as it thrashed around on the ground. Lisa focused on Ignatius’s leg as the ground started rumbling, and spiders erupted from the ground like a geyser aimed directly at his hind leg. In mid-air, she applied the acid-burst spell to them, and they exploded into acid that sizzled when it made contact with his leg. 

Ignatius yelped, letting go of Saskia as he whipped his head around. Saskia’s tendril shot out to curl around his neck before they fell, pulling them up towards him, bone spear shooting out their hand and jabbing towards his eye.

[color=e77fbf]"THERE’S A FLOATING BLOODY HAND!"[/color] Ella screamed, punching one of the still living Pale-Chorus in the gut as hard as she could - making her gasp as she grabbed her stomach, kneeling over. The hand went upwards as if it was facepalming… leaving some blood on something.

Lisa whipped around towards Ella and shouted. 

[color=764820]”... Punch it or something! I don’t know!”[/color] Lisa shouted back, leaving Saskia in the dark. Above her, the spiders burst out of their cocoons, and had wings… and they flew towards the member of the Pale Chorus on the ground. They landed all over her neck, before they exploded, and her head fell off.

Ignatius had put his hand up over his face and tanked the spear… before he quickly spewed magma at Saskia

[color=DC143C]"Oh fuck,”[/color] was all Saskia managed to say as she pulled herself up. Her legs got burnt in the magma, melting away her flesh until it was just the bones. She managed to shove herself away with the blood tendril, using it in the place of her legs to get onto the floor without snapping her neck. [color=DC143C]"Lisa…”[/color]

[color=e77fbf]"AHHHHH!"[/color] Ella shouted, punching the bloody hand and whatever had blood left on it. She wasn’t going to let some spooky hand come steal her kill and possibly kill her friends!

The hand quickly picked Ella up by the collar of her shirt… Before throwing her at Ignatius.

[color=e77fbf]"AHH- FLYING PRISM KICK!"[/color] Ella, battle hardened and thick skulled as she was, took being thrown in the air in her stride, twisting her body and stretching out one leg to fly at Ignatius with a super strong, flying super prism kick.  Which collided with Ignatius’ side and sent him tumbling into a wall.

“... Ignatius! I got you!” The last member of the Pale Chorus said, sticking her hands out. But she was interrupted by a few bites on her thighs. She threw her dress aside, only to see her leg covered in Funnel-web spiders. 

They all bit her.

“Shit, Ma-” She tried to call out to their teleporter before a spider leg pierced through her chest. She looked down, panicking… Before the leg retracted and she fell to the ground.

[color=e77fbf]"Take this, you scaly bastard!"[/color] Ella yelled, absolutely pummeling Ignatius with her hard as steel fists. 

“... Get away from me, you trash!” Ignatius shouted as he whipped his tail at Ella.

[color=e77fbf]"You’re the trash!"[/color] Ella shouted back. She bent her knees, stabilising herself with enhanced legs. She caught his tail in her arms, moving back with it and managing to put the brunt of the force through all of her body. It hurt, but who cared! Not her! [color=e77fbf]"And I’m going to put you in the garbage where you belong!"[/color]

She used the momentum of his tail to flip herself up, arms wrapped around it and supporting her, legs aiming right for his jaw. Which slammed his mouth shut and broke several of his teeth. He groaned, before opening his maw and spraying magma (and broken teeth) at Ella.

Meanwhile, Lisa applied the Enlarge spell to some of her remaining spiders.

Ella’s eyes widened and she let go off his tail, dropping herself to the floor. The magma skimmed over the top of her head… singing the tips of her beautiful hair and splashing across her shoulders. Her hair! This couldn’t stand. She was much more bothered about that than the magma painfully coating her upper arms.

[color=e77fbf]"Die, you fashion destroyer!"[/color] she shouted, going for a stomach punch. Ignatius winced, before rolling over and swinging his head at Ella like an organic-mace. Ella brought her fists in front of her chest and took the blow [i]head-on[/i] while slamming both fists forward at him.

After all, she was incredibly thick-skulled! Or so Lisa and Saskia kept saying. The attack caused Ignatius to flip and hit the ground with a thud. He growled, backpedaling towards the vault door as he sprayed magma at the floor between himself and Ella. 

Ella was on her knees holding her head, incredibly dizzy. She felt something curl around her leg and yank her back before hot magma killed her, falling face first and being dragged across the floor. With a groan she rolled over to see Saskia, legs still incredibly damaged, hitting her with an incredibly weary stare.

[color=e77fbf]"Saskia!"[/color] Ella quickly shot a healing light at her, ignoring the pain it caused her as Saskia’s legs were completely healed. Her head felt like it was being hit by a sledgehammer and everything was incredibly blurry. There were three Saskia’s, but somehow she managed to heal the right one, because they stood up in front of her with a grumble.

[color=DC143C]"You are so fucking stupid.”[/color] Saskia shot a blood bullet at Ignatius, which might as well been a cotton ball. 

[color=e77fbf]"Awww, you’re sweet, Sas-kia~"[/color] Ella giggled, swaying. Oh, there was still a massive, ugly lizard to deal with. But she couldn’t stand up, the whole world was going on some kind of psychedelic trip around her. She raised her Channeler and shot a burning light at Ignatius… well at the Ignatius that was on the ceiling, so not actually Ignatius, but the roof above him.

Ignatius looked at the ceiling, then back down to Ella before his tail hit the vault door. Lisa’s spiders had erupted from their cocoon, now massive and sporting dragonfly wings. He stopped spraying magma, and chanted,

“... [i]Venmor, demos, kant’tar, ven, ven, ven, balkar, fen’ra, mar’shak, dra’catarnis![/i]”

The runes on the vault door illuminated, and the gears began turning. The door opened inward, and Ignatius limped inside and tried to close it with his front legs. However, the spiders flew between at lightning speeds and then exploded, spraying acid and chitin shards in all directions.

He roared as he ran deeper into the vault to escape. Lisa grinned. 

[color=764820]”... Let’s go! Before he finds a healing artifact or something!”[/color] Lisa ran towards the door.

[color=DC143C]”He's not getting away this time,"[/color] Saskia intoned, following after Lisa.

Ella, still very much dizzy and out of it, blinked as they suddenly left. 

[color=e77fbf]"Wait for meeeeeeee!"[/color] she shouted as she stumbled after them.

… Unbeknownst to them, someone was tailing behind them.
