Chapter 13: His Worst Nightmare

Alright, alright I know. I am so late. But to be fair, I don't recall saying when on a Friday I would update. If you can find it, fell free to review/ comment and rant about how 'heartless' I've been. (Let's be honest: you've seen worse)

ILuvCupcakes2000: I hope this chapter satisfies you as my body didn't allow me to stay awake. But be ready for some angst and bad memories because that's what this chapter's all about. This warning applies to all of you.

"Come on, you two! Let's get to the dungeon!" Aria yelled from the ahead of Lumino and Kizuna.

"Aria, for once in your life, slow down!" Kizuna yelled.

"If I do that, I'll become you! And I don't want that!" she sang to her twin. Although twins, the two seemed to be polar opposites. Aria had lots of energy and was active while Kizuna did things at his own pace.

"You two really are siblings," Lumino commented.

"Yeah, but how are we twins. That's the issue," Kizuna replied. The party of three reached the edge of the town. The gathering area of the 10th boss.

All the beta testers were ecstatic. They were confident, wanting to finish at least 10 floors before beta period ended. The leader of the raid group called to everyone. "Alright, we're heading out to the boss. It is a ways to go so we'll go by chocobo."

"Right!" Everyone responded. They took out their whistles and called for a chocobo all at once. Bad idea.

The ground started to shake as about 50 chocobos came running towards the raid group. This really was a beta. Every player decided to either run away in fear of getting run over or disperse to find their chocobo.

The dungeon was dark and cold like all the rest. A low fog gave off a mysterious and tense atmosphere. Stalagmites hung from the ceiling, occasionally letting water drop onto the floor.

The beta testers were on high alert. Someone could step on one of the bones of former birds and trigger their battle senses. Every monster was cleared from the dungeon before the boss raid to save time. Though some daemons would spawn.

Finally, they reached their goal. The boss room.

The leader pushed the door open as everyone got ready to fight. In the middle of the room was a snake. Lumino froze in fear.

The head of the snake rose up. However, the 'head' was the body of a woman with six arms. Each arm held a unique sword.

As if sensing the presence of the raid team, she glared at them. Some players flinched in fear from her intimidating gaze. She let out a broken cry as she rose her swords.

Everyone let out a war cry and charged towards the daemon. "Lumino!" Kizuna called the swordsman snapping him out of his daze. "Let's go!"

"R-right!" Lumino responded. He swallowed his fear and tightened his grip on the sword. 'No time to focus on the past. I have to focus on the here and now.'
