X-fighter nodded as the wolf head closed/ He then ran after Locke.

Alasea nodded and went to the entrance, feeling the area shift behind her. "So, ready to do this?" she asked, looking up at the sturdy door.

"Jup.", Crystal said, then attempting to kick the door open.

Alasea nodded, seeing Crystal's foot bounce off of the thick door. She cracked her knuckles and threw her weight into the door, very slowly pushing half of it open.
After the two girls opened the door, Alasea stepped into the room. Torches lined the walls, illuminating the back of the room. Stairwells curled around a doorway that was blocked off by bars. Behind the bars she could see a very large amount of treasure. Alasea continued looking around, her eyes following up the stairs to the strange mural on the wall.
Her eyes widened in shock at what she saw embedded in the wall.
"No way," she whispered.

"What's up?", Crystal asked.

"That..." Alasea whispered, pointing at the wall.
Embedded in the wall was some sort of disk or crest, glimmering in the light. Its three-triangle design was surrounded by three designs of gowned women, and had an eye etched into its center.
"It... it's the Oculus," Alasea said, "One of the Seven Perfect Weapons."

"That thing, a weapon?", Crystal asked, a bit doubtful.

"I've seen it used before," Alasea said, thinking back to the Epsilon Project.
"If someone attacks you with non-elemental energy, and you catch it with the Oculus," she explained, "It'll absorb it, then shoot it back. Except it amplifies the power a hundredfold."

"Cool.", Crystal said.
As she was about to take the Oculus, the entire temple started to shake.
"What in the world?", she thought aloud, then falling to the floor.

A shimmering shield suddenly surrounded the Oculus as the Temple quaked.
Alasea quickly gained better footing and helped Crystal up, and looked around, down at the entrance to the room. There was nothing there. She looked up, and blanched again.
There was another balcony entrance, and something was filling it. It was humanoid, and in a crouch, looking at the two girls. They couldn't make out any real features; the beast's body was swathed in darkness. Despite this, its eyes shone brightly.
"Oh... fuck," Alasea said, "More nostalgia. We're in trouble."
The Darkened Beast dropped to the floor and stood, glaring up at the two of them. It loosed a challenging roar at them, then leaped the entire distance of the room at them, its claws flashing.

Crystal then got infront of Alasea, in one quick motion she drew her Vileploom Shield and fired a beam of light at the creature as it was still in the air.
~Meanwhile~
DreamSword and Vinsanity had been done with the spiders, but then as they went a floor up, they encountered nearly 120 skeletons. After beating them, the temple started to shake.
"We gotta hurry!", Vin said, then running with DS.

The monster twisted out of the way of the beam and landed hard beside the two girls. As Alasea raised her short sword to attack, the beast spun with amazing agility and lashed out with its foot, catching the girl in the side with enough force to slam her into Crystal and send them both off of the ledge to the floor below.

Crystal fell to the floor below, along with Alasea. As she opened her eyes after the fall, she saw a small yellow gem, nothing really special about it, but she put it in her invetory anyway, "Gee, thanks.", she said sarcasticly to Alasea as she got up, then drawing her default shield and looking around for the monster.

The beast was in the air, descending rapidly at them.
Alasea looked up after getting up. "Scatter!" she shouted wildly, leaping out of the way as the beast fell, slamming its fist into the ground and shattering it. The beast glared and leaped backwards, then shot forward again at Crystal, its claws slashing rapidly, trying to get past the shield and injure the shield-wielding girl.
