Chapter 5: The Crusty Musty Dusty Catacombs Pt. 1

(Warning: This chapter is in two parts, so it will be longer than the others so far. Prepare your popcorn!)

"..The Catacombs!" The professor said, as the doors slid open, revealing what looked like a Ruins in the desert.

"..This looks like somebody got the ruins from Undertale and made it yellow." Professor Magikite told him to hush, and they walked down the hallway, maneuvering through the hallway, to the right, to the left, and Enytt was surely admiring everything. They took another turn to the right, leading to the puzzle and a large stone door. 

"Oh great, ANOTHER dead end! Can today get any more dead ends?!" Enytt complained, groaning.

"Now, wait, Enytt. I'm pretty sure this is a puzzle of some sort. These lines on the wall have to lead to this pillar by the door, which should be what opens it!" Professor Magikite immediately got to work on the puzzle, as Enytt was thinking of a more..forceful way to get in. He was bashing his head against the door. 

"It. Won't. Open! This stupid door is so stubborn!" Enytt yelled, getting frustrated.

Professor Magikite chuckled. "You think that door is stubborn?"

"Hey, atleast I' m not spending forever on solving a pu-"

"Done. I finished the puzzle! Now the door should open." He said, as he stepped away from the puzzle, and went to push the door open. He would try pulling it open, but it has no handles. Who likes pull doors anyways (PS: I do)? "Argh, it won't budge! Damn door's jammed."

"Hey Professor! Look! Theres a key hole by the puzzle! Maybe that'll work?" Enytt pointed out. And surely enough, that was how they were supposed to get in. 

"Oh, silly me! I must not have seen that." He said, walking over to the key hole. "Now, do I happen to have any convenient keys that'll work?" He said, pulling out the Key of Gluttony. "Lets try this one!" He slid it in, but it wouldn't budge. He put it away and kept searching through his pockets. He put in the Key of Greed; didn't work either. He searched all over him, not finding any other keys. "Gosh darn it! I swear I had another one!" He said, stomping around like a little baby. "This could've been our exit!" Meanwhile, Enytt was putting in the real key which had fallen OUT of Prof. Magikite's pockets, and the door automatically opened.

"Hell yeah! I'm the best, woop woop!" Enytt did a little dance, and flew in. Professor Magikite sighed.

"Beaten by a kid..I'm pathetic." He said, running in behind Enytt.

As they both entered, there was a small pedestal with an ominious light shining onto it. Sitting on the pedestal was a green egg, but instead its obviously quite bigger than a normal egg. What, have you never played Monsters of Etheria before? Weirdo. "Oooooh! I wonder if its hard boiled." Enytt said, flying up to it, about to lick its shell for a taste. Professor Magikite smacked him out of the air before he could even get the chance. 

"Don't lick it, you idiot! That's an incredibly rare Snik egg! Don't mess with it!" He said, and directly after he picked it up. Didn't he just say not to- whatever. He stared at it in awe, shocked for even being in the presence of one of these. "Its spectacular.." He said, but it seems the egg may have been a trap. The doors sealed behind them. Enytt got up to the SLAM of the stone doors.

"...Fuck. I think we're stuck in here, Professor." Enytt said, feeling slightly worried. However, the Professor was too busy admiring the egg to really care. There seemed to be laughter slowly getting louder and louder, feeling more sinister and creepy by the second. Enytt flew behind Professor Magikite's leg as some sort of 'cover', and then the being made itself noticeable. Professor Magikite looked up from the egg, and his heart sunk to his feet. A giant beast from the dark realms of the torn dimension popped out of a little tear in the wall, and the tear shut as he landed on the floor, before going into a floating state.
