The gamer held his hands up to show that he was unarmed--he had a giant sword in his hands, and it appeared out of thin air--as he approached the scared brunette.

"Hey, now...I won't hurt you..."

"STAY AWAY FROM IB!"

Cry used his instincts to dodge a kick to the head; a silveret wrapped his arms protectively around the girl on the ground.

"Garry!"

The brunette, Ib, wrapped her arms around the silveret, Garry, as she cried tears of joy.

Garry, looking guilty, patted the girl on the head.

"Sorry...it took me a while to try and find a way through here."

"Err..."

Garry quickly turned a glare on Cry, who sighed and raised his hands in a placating gesture.

"We're not here to hurt you.  Don't worry."

There was something in the brunet's voice that slowly allowed Garry to relax his guard; Ib peaked out shyly from the silveret's hold.

"Are you guys trapped too?  We were in the Art Gallery before but now we're in this stupid mansion."

Garry grit his teeth in frustration.

Cry gave a knowing look to the two.

"Well...we were suddenly teleported here...so I guess we're trapped...?"

"Ah.  I'm Garry, and this is Ib." The silveret smiled softly at the brunette in his arms. "Ib.  I think we can trust this guy; he won't hurt us."

Ib hesitantly got out of Garry's embrace and gave an embarrassed bow to Cry, hiding behind the silveret when she was done.

Cry laughed at the action as he bowed a small greeting himself.

"The name's Cry," Garry raised a curious eyebrow at the name. "And the people over there are Russ, Jund, Red, Raven, Snake, and Pewds."

Garry slowly nodded before smiling.

"It's nice to meet you."

Crash!

Everyone immediately went into their fighting stances--although Garry and Ib were simply hugging each other--as they turned their heads to find the source of the noise.

Groan!

"H-Help!"

They blinked in surprise as a girl with raven hair--a bright, pink bow was tied into her hair--ran away from what seemed to be a zombie.

Cry narrowed his eyes--recognizing the ravenette--as he let blue electricity crackle in his left hand; Garry and Ib widened their eyes at the zombie and Cry's left hand.

The brunet gamer sent a controlled stream of lightning to the zombie chasing the ravenette, taking it out with ease.

The ravenette collapsed in front of them, catching her breath in deep breaths.

"Th-Thank...you..."

Cry smiled underneath his mask.

"No problem!" The brunet extended a hand out to help the girl up. " My name's Cry, and you are...?"

The ravenette smiled brightly, a small blush on her cheeks as her navy-blue eyes sparkled with curiosity.

"Aya.  Aya Drevis!"
