Briar and the others begin their search for the ID Card that is hidden in one of the cages.
"The staffer said the beast and crustacean Phantoms are in cages numbered in the 800s... What kind do you think is in this one?" Vil says.
He soon approaches the cage that's labeled "PTM-881", Rook and the others approach the cage as well. Then Rook knocks on it. Suddenly, the cage begins to rattle.
"Oh la la! It responded to my knock," Rook says with a smile.
"I don't think it liked it so much," Serai says.
Then Epel says, "It sounds pretty sturdy. That's gotta be a crustacean, right?"
"Ah, but it could be a wild beast going berserk," Vil says.
Then Rook says, "It would appear I'm nor the only one excited by the prospect of an encounter with the unknown. Let's find out the answer together, shall we?"
"Yes, sir/Certainly," Everyone responds.
With that, Rook uses his magic to bust open the cage, allowing the Phantom to escape. Then begins to fire their magic at the Phantom without a second thought. After a few attacks, the Phantom has been defeated.
"No ID card here," Epel says.
"That really wasn't the one? Considering how much trouble it gave us, I thought it might be," Vil says.
"This one was quite formidable. It may portend even more fearsome fights to come," Rook says.
Vil turns to Rook, "Your words and your expression are entirely at odds. Why do you find this so exciting?"
"Yeah Rook, we're practically fighting for our lives," Briar adds.
"Well, I'm with you all, aren't I? How could I possibly be bored?" Rook responds. "We're growing more in sync with every battle. And more to the point..."
Everyone remains silent by Rook's statement.
Then Rook says, "Heh. I look forward to what lies ahead."
The group continues searching until Epel finds the cage that is labeled, "PTM-832'.
"Found it!" Epel calls out, "This cage is in the 800s!"
Suddenly, the cage begins rattling and moving.
"Sounds like a lively Phantom," Vil says, "I wouldn't be surprised if it rushed us the moment we opened the door. I'll do the honors this time. Rook, would mind intercepting it?
"Oui, as you wish," Rook says.
Vil steps forward in front of the cage, "Here goes..." And casts his magic, "Harh!" and breaks the lock to open the door.
The Phantom inside lets out a, "SHAAARGH!"
Rook then begins to cast his magic, "Hnh!" and strikes the Phantom.
The Phantom screams, "GYAAAH!"
And the Phantom charges at them.
"It's still charging?!" Rook responds.
And see that it's heading right towards Vil.
"Vi,, watch out!" Rook cries out.
Then tries to protect him.
Then Epel comes in, "HAAAH!" and uses his magic to attack the Phantom.
The Phantom is hit by the Phantom and ends up getting defeated as it melted.
"Yes, you got it!" Sereia cheers.
"That was great," Briar says.
Vil then says, "Epel, that was an excellent strike. I might've taken a direct hit if you hadn't landed that follow-up."
