Amenian took the first step. There it was. The Ghost.

???: Do you have the 2 objects?

Mary: We do, a Harfin Scale and a Lucifyce Fur.

???: Good. You have served me well.

Mary: Good, now where's the next feral?

???: Hm? We have not yet finished the bargain.

Magecci: I recall well that you told us we just needed these 2 and you would give us the location of the feral!

???: Did I? I must've missed over your other task then.

Gabe: You glossed over that task, you missed your chance. Tell us the location!

???: Fools. I explicitly told you I enjoy this curse being around, what makes you think I would give up on this golden opportunity so easily?

Amenian: You can't be serious...

Poigol: Give us the location! Or we'll force it out of you.

???: You aren't in a very good position to be making threats. I thought you were different. Very well, let me teach you what the other part of the arrangement was!


The Ghost pulls out its Scythe, the eye on it staring them down as multiple Spookims come from the stairway.

The Demon led the charge, using Slash to Poigol's Poison Tail, the Ghost was stronger than any feral they'd faced, and it wasn't even close

Mary used Air Slash, to the Ghost using Shadow Ball, her Air Slash was quickly overpowered and she was forced to dodge.

Spectra: Your Christmas gift this year is going to Hell!

Spectra used Dark Pulse, and the Ghost used its Scythe to block, its eye absorbing the attack, using Shadow Ball, Magecci used Teleport and took the Shadow Ball behind the Ghost, hitting it in the back.

Gabe: This Scarims is tough,

Scarims: Hahahahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHA! You fools are weak! You have nothing on m-

Daniel used a Power Gem, and interrupted Scarims, who slashed through the rock, which hit its Spookims minions.

Scarims: HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME WHEN I MONOLOGUE! DESTROY THEM!

The Spookims charged, one of them after Mary, going toe to toe with her! Another after Poigol, one with Rain, and one with Spectra.

Scarims: And don't you dare think of helping them!

Scarims lunged at Daniel, using Night Slash, using Bullet Seed as a repellent, throwing Scarims back.

Spectra managed to defeat one of the Spookims, using Psybeam to help Mary with her one, from there, the two helped Rain and Poigol.

Mary fired off Air Slash, not stopping, only if it was to avoid would she move, Spectra fired off multiple Psybeams to cut off the Scarims, and Poigol made it move into spots Rain fired Bubble Beam with Dragon Rage,

The battle lasted for a long time, Mary finally fluttering down out of exhaustion, Scarims following soon after, going back to the ground. Dropping its Scythe.

Scarims: Heh... Hah... Hahaha...

Spectra: Why are you laughing?

Scarims: Huff... I wasn't expecting such strength... Puff... I've.. never lost before... Hahahaha...

Magecci: Well, that's your problem.

Magecci prepared a Shadow Ball at Scarims' forehead, with no resistance

Scarims: ... What are you waiting for? Finish it.

Mary: Magecci, don't.

Magecci: I won't. Scarims, just tell us the location of the Feral.

Scarims: ... I can't be direct, I'm afraid. Although you need to take my Scythe. It's a very powerful weapon, it'll help you when you need it the most.

Magecci's floating hand took the Scythe, not lowerring the Shadow Ball

Magecci: Well?

Scarims: "I produce ash but I'm not a bonfire I can throw rocks great distances but I'm not a slingshot, I'm often a mountain but I'm not in the Himalayas, I have a crater but I'm not the moon, I erupt but I'm not someone with a bad temper"

Gabe: That's enough information, thank you.

Scarims: Tis a pleasure. I suppose I should wish you good luck.

With that, Scarims faded away, revealing a door behind him with a lock and 4 symbols.

Mary: What's that door?

Gabe: It's a puzzle, I've heard rumours of needing a key and to match the symbols.

Rain: We could go there, could we not?

Gabe: Might as well.

Spectra: What key would we need, exactly?

Gabe: Nothing special, just a regular key.

Spectra: I actually happen to have a key on me. 

Amenian: Then let's go find those symbols!


Amenian searched on the bottom floor, finding a Yellow Diamond, slotting it in. Rain found a blew clover, slotting that in as well. Spectra found a Red Spade, floating down to slot that in. Finally, Mary floated down with a Green Heart, slotting it in. 

Spectra: Here goes nothing!

He put in the key, twisting it and a creaking sound was heard, Spectra fled as the door opened, they enterred to see a glowing purple aura, Magecci turned the corner and was hit by a Shadow Punch, throwing him to the wall as a feral slid across the floor. A Potbrawler.

Daniel carried Magecci away and Mary fired Air Slash. A Mist came out of its kettle and a Mist Shield appeared, although the Air Slash cut through it and hit the Feral, Rain followed up with a Bash, and due to how frail they are, the Potbrawler was weakened quite heavily from this, using Hydro Pump.

Spectra used its Cards to use Psychic, pointing the attack right back at the Potbrawler, defeating it, as such freeing it from the Feral's Curse.

Potbrawler: Thank you! How can I ever repay you?

Spectra: You can come with us to help more people, that or you can sit here on your own.

Potbrawler: Of course! I'll join your cause.

Daniel: Then let's go.

Potbrawler: But first, how about we sit down for some tea-

Mary: No.

Potbrawler: Aww man, okay...

With their new trusted ally, they set out the Mansion, heading West to the Vulcan Depths to find the next feral.
