A Tale of Determination

It's Time to Go

Cast... (You all know the characters for now lel)

^.^.^.^.^.^

The two boys followed Rena down into the basement, wondering where it would lead. She abruptly stops, her hair covers her sad face as it lowers. "Rena?" Time asked.

"You wish to know how to return 'home,' right?" The caretaker spoke with a clam tone. "Ahead of us is the end of the RUINS - a one way exit to the rest of the Underground." She raised her head, looking firm with her decision.

"I am going to destroy it." Rena takes a deep breath before moving on. "No one will be able to leave again. Now be good and go upstairs." As she disappears from view, the duo stares at each other in shock.

"We... We can't leave...?" Add was certainly shaken by this. "Wh-Why...?"

Time couldn't think of anything to say, but he was DETERMINED to leave. After all, they are both humans that fell into the Fabled Mount Ebott. Holding his friend's hand tightly, they both continued walking down the long, purple hallway. They both stopped behind Rena again.

"Every... Every human that falls down here... meets the same fate..." The boy thought that her voice was cracking. "I have seen it again and again." Her tears tumbles down and she sobs forlornly. "They come... They leave... They die..." It then becomes a whisper. "You naive children. If you leave the RUINS..." More and more sobs resounded throughout the quiet vicinity. "They... RAVEN... will kill you..."

They both shuddered at her words, but they knew that they had to leave. A small voice in their minds tells them to protect the people who lives within the Underground. With their DETERMINATION. "Rena..." Time murmurs. "Please don't stop us..."

The caretaker seemingly ignores his words as her worries began to spill. "I am only protecting the both of you... Understand...?" She continues her path towards the end of the basement. "Go to your room."

The two boys and Rena stops at a curve, which she begins to look annoyed. "Do not try to stop me." Heat begins to envelop the entirety of her body. "This is your final warning."

They stop as she thought that they would. They continued until a huge purple door came into view and she faced them, still looking sad, "You want to leave so badly?" She scoffs at this. "You two are just like the others." Green fire circles around her body. "There is only one way..." It then travels down to her hands, causing the two friends to step back. "Prove to me that you are strong to survive!"

*RENA blocks the way!

Their hearts glowed in front of their chest and Time immediately pressed ACT.

Fight *Act Item Mercy

Check *Talk

No words were heard as he tries to speak. The caretaker waves her hands in a sweeping motion, sending forth waves of green fire. Time and Add moved side to side, dodging them before it could actually burn them.

*RENA looks through you.

The boys continued their turn and Rena causes multiple bullets of flames to crash dangerously close to them. Surprisingly, their HP remained at full.

*RENA looks through you

"..." Rena continues send forth different forms of flame attacks, which they conitnued to dodge at ease.

*RENA prepares a magical attack

This time, the fire grazed by Time's arm, which he yelped in pain. Add panicked and another one hit his stomach, which he screamed.
