O͇u͇r͇ magnificence's P.O.V

Jamil looked over the edge "It goes down so far, I can't see the bottom... I wonder how many stories deep it is."

"It goes 12 sectors down, but doesn't specify how many stories are in a sector." Leona glanced at Jamil "Hey. Gimme one of your pointless jingly hair things."

"Hm? Oh, sure-" Jamil was about to hand it to him but I took his hand, stopping him "No, no, no, no, no. You ain't tossing my Jamil's beautiful hair ornament down there. Why don't you throw your necklace instead?"

Leona rolled his eyes and reached for his necklace but I stopped him "You know I was being sarcastic. Use that instead." I toss a keychain to him. He raised an eyebrow. "I stole it from a technician since it was sparkly." I stick out my tongue.

"And I'm the rowdy one?" He dropped the keychain down the pit and listened "... I can't hear it hitting the ground. It's gotta be more than 50 stories."

'And he wanted to use my ornament for that?' Jamil sighed softly then realized I was still holding his hand "..."

'Hm. Now, I know that the laser only activates when I try to get over the edge.' "Let's go." I let go of Jamil's hand but he instinctively reached back for mine "Huh?"

"Ah..." He blushed and was about to pull back but I gently squeezed his hand.

"I don't mind holding your hand if you want, charmer." I smirk.

He looked away but seemed into the idea.

"Hey, get in there." Leona called out, already having walked into the elevator.

"Huh? Leona-senpai, please don't just take off like that." Jamil requested and I lightly shook my head as we followed him inside.

The elevator door immediately closed and Ortho's hologram appeared "Hey guys! Welcome to Tower 2 of Tartarus, the cursed containment facility!"

"And here he is, right on cue." Jamil mumbled flatly.

Ortho pouted "Aww, what kind of reaction was that? I was hoping for a little more surprise."

"Yeah, well, it's not hard for us humans to predict how a robot thinks." Leona commented, earning himself a flick on the ear from me. He gave me a look.

I just put my free hand on my hip, addressing Ortho "What do you have in store for us, baby doll?"

"I wonder if you really have what it takes to overcome my trial." He hummed.

"Oh, I have more than enough." I smile smugly "Your final boss act is cute though. But you do know that the always gets defeated at the end, right?"

"... I'll change that today then." A projection of a familiar looking game then appears.

"Hm? it's a projection of The Hydra Strikes Back." Jamil remarked.

Leona frowned "That's the stupid game you made me play earlier."

"How dare you? It's a classic." I motion dramatically which made him roll his eyes but I noticed the corner of his mouth lifted up a bit.

"Yup! This will be your first trial. You must beat The Hydra Strikes Back!" Ortho beamed "If you win the game, I'll grant you the privilege of challenging us."

"Piece of cake." I reach for the game but my hand was still in Jamil's who pulled me back.

"Let me play it."

"What?/ Why you?" Me and Leona asked at the same time.

"There's no telling what kind of traps this game's been rigged with. It would be ill-advised to just blunder in."
