  "Well this doesn't look good..." Andrew muttured.
  "Doesn't look good? Oh please, that's just a fraction of what Tyrant, Yharim can do." Reath tried to stand up but was forced back down by Darius.
  "I won't hesitate to put a few holes in your head." Darius sneered.
  Reath laughed and replied,"Even if you wanted to, you can't because of how weak your bullets are against my armor."
  "Well 'e 'as a poin'." Lydia pulled out her Clockwork Rifle and fired a bullet, which bounced off Reath's armour.
  "Whoa be careful where you point that thing!" Darius backed away from Lydia, his hand reaching for his Flintlock Pistol.
  "Wha' you scared ov my rifle?" Lydia smirked.
  Darius raised his gun and replied,"I won't hesitate to shoot you if I must."
  "Ok can we not fight?" Andrew interupted.
  "Shut up!" Darius and Lydia retorted.
  Andrew backed away from them and moved to a corner of the room.
  "Your friends are really nice." Reath said in a sarcastic tone.
  Andrew sighed and turned to Reath,"What's your armour made from?"
  Reath chuckled and replied,"If you can't penetrate Perrenial Armour, you stand no chance against the Devourer, or the Exo-Mechs."
  "The Terrarians will." Andrew said.
  "You think your saviors can do everything do ya? They haven't even returned from their journey, Cryogen must have killed them." Reath mocked.
  Andrew immediately drew his wooden bow.
  Suddenly, the door swung open, just barely missing Andrew.
  "Oh great, your saviors are here." Reath moaned.
  Seth stepped into the room, his blade unsheathed.
  "Seth you've returned!" Andrew breathed a sight of relief.
  Seth replied,"It's nice to see you too Andrew, but we got a problem."
  "Let me guess, it has something to do with the Lord?" Reath sighed.
  "Who is he?" Seth asked.
  "I'll tell you later, but let's deal with your problem first." Andrew pulled out his wooden bow and followed Seth out of the room.

[Outside]

  Seth rushed out of the house, Andrew following behind.
  "Finally, you're here idiot." Violet said.
  "I'm sorry. Climbing up a staircase isn't fun, you know." Seth replied.
  Violet rolled her eyes.
  "What's the problem anyway?" Andrew asked.
  "The NP- I mean villagers have been saying the same thing over and over again." Seth replied.
  "It's going to be a Terrible Night." Violet continued, "That's what they've been saying ever since we got here"
  "Oh no." Andrew muttered.
  "What is it?" Seth asked.
  "Remember, when the Eye of Cthulhu attacked the village?" Andrew said.
  "Everyone felt like that an evil presence was watching them." Seth replied.
  "I fear. It is the same." Andrew shuddered at the thought.
  Suddenly, two large shadows cast over the group. Seth instinctively looked up and immediately started shaking.
  Above them, were two large eyeballs, both connected by a tendril.
  Violet immediately sprang into action by kicking Seth aside and pulling out a Daedalus Stormbow.
  "Where did you get that?" Seth asked in amazement.
  "I've been grinding while you all been busy slacking off." Violet replied.
  "Then why didn't you use it while we were fighting Cryogen?" Seth unsheathed his Bloody Edge.
  "It wasn't the right time. Besides Cryogen would've died faster if I did that" Violet replied.
  Seth was confused with what point she was trying to make.
  "Less talking, more fighting!" Violet fired a flurry of arrows at the eyeballs, causing them to retaliate by firing green fireballs and red lasers.
  Seth quickly blocked the projectiles using his blade, he then threw his blade at the red eyeball. However, the blade narrowly missed its target, causing both Andrew and Violet to stare at him in disappointment.
  "It's hard to throw a sword with your bare hands, okay!" Seth tried to explain.
  "Good thing I killed those Mimics then." Violet handed Seth a Celestial Claymore.
  "Woah." Seth inspected the sword, running his fingers along its cold handle.
  Suddenly, the green eyeball slammed into Seth, throwing him into the nearby fountain.
  Violet fired a volley of arrows at the red eyeball, causing the skin on its body to start peeling off. The green eyeball saw what the other was doing and followed.
  "What the?" Violet muttered in disbelief.
  The two eyeballs outer skins were now in a pile on the floor, their true bodies now revealed.
  The red eyeball now had a laser gun attached to its iris, while the green eyeball had a large mouth with a flamethrower inside it. Their bodies were no longer organic, but they were now robotic.
  Violet and Andrew gripped their bows tightly, as they watched the two monstrosities let out blood-curdling roars.
