My Light

Noctis and I jog along the bridge and head up to the door. Once the door opens, we were faced with three other doors to the left, right, and in front of us with only the left door being open. The door opens to show a bridge with dead MT's in our path, and I just couldn't help but feel creeped out, like one could just come back to life and attack us. But thankfully, as we walked on the bridge, the MT's never did come to life. Hopefully it stays that way if we come across anymore. We walk through a hall, going through a door and raising the security level on the keycard. Then as we walk out and turn a corner we see Prompto running. "Hey, Prompto!" Noctis yells, and he dashes over to him. "Noctis, wait!" I whisper yell as I dash to catch up to him, but something suddenly grabs me, and pulls me down making me scream. I look to see that it was a dead MT that was on the ground and I look in fear as I try to hold it back. "Noctis!" I yell in fear and struggle to get free from in, noticing the sparks coming from it, signaling that it was going to blow. "Aura!" I hear Noctis yell, and he sees the MT sparking with me underneath it, struggling. Noctis kicks the MT off of me, and pulls me with him as the MT explodes. "Never leave me like that again!" I say as I smack his arm, and he nods.

We continue walking, trying to follow Prompto, but also keeping an eye on these "dead" MT's on the ground, seeing if one would pounce on us. Luckily, none did, but we saw one of the odd MT's patrolling the halls. Noctis and I carefully sneak behind it, and he hides me in a narrow space. "Stay here while I deal with the MT." he says and I nod. Noctis walks over to it, and I hear him use his ring to suck the life out of the MT. I carefully look, and see the MT disappear, making me sigh in relief. We walk along the hall only to see another odd MT, and I shoot light at the MT, and it backs up seeming to have felt pain from my blast. I blast another ball of light and it finally disappears. "Let's go." I say, and Noctis nods as we walk up to the door, and he swipes the keycard on it. The door opens to reveal a set of stairs, then we hear Ardyn's evil chuckle again over the intercom. As we climb the stairs and turn a corner, we Prompto running once again. When we get to the top, we see another odd MT with it's back facing us. Noctis pulls me with him behind a wall, and puts his fingers to his lips. Noctis activates his ability to suck in his enemies and makes them disappear. I walk out from behind the wall to see Prompto in a chair behind bars seeming to be passed out. "Damn it! It won't budge!" Noctis says, and I look at him. "We just have to find a way around." I tell him, and he nods.

We walk through the hallway, and turn to see an open door. As it opens, an MT appear in front of us. We both split up as it swings for us and misses, but then falls to the ground. We walk into the room looking for a place to go through, but I found nothing so far. "I found something." Noctis says, and I walk over to him to see a narrow path to go through. "It's a tight squeeze." he says and I nod. "I'll be able to fit through." I say and he nods. He goes in first then I follow behind him but then we hear Prompto's voice, "Noct, help me!" As we make it through, one of the dead MT's stands up, and attacks us along with a large demon. "This is not good." I say as I stare at both enemies, and dodge the MT swinging at us. "I'll handle the demon, you handle the MT." I say and he nods. I look at the demon with a glare, and light my hands up throwing balls of light at it as it screeches in pain. The demon then disappears, but something then grabs me from behind, and I scream in fear. "Let me go!" I yell as I struggle to get out of the MT's arms. I suddenly feel bright light within me, and the gem on my choker glows brightly. The MT disappears, and I fall to the ground on my knees. "Aura, you ok?" Noctis asks me as he kneels beside me, and I nod. "I'm fine. Let's get Prompto." I say and he nods. 

We suddenly see another narrow path, and we squeeze through it making it to the other side. We then make our way to Prompto, but my eyes suddenly go blurry, and once they were cleared, all I saw was an MT. "Another trick! Back to square one!" Noctis says, and I put my hand on his shoulder. "We'll find Prompto and the others. Let's just keep moving." I say, and Noctis nods. Noctis raises the keycard security level and opens the cell door. "You should've see the looks on your faces. You'd best hurry. Next time, it might really be your friend." Ardyn says over the intercom, and I growl as we walk through the hallway. We keep watch for MT's again as we turn a corner in the hall, and see one just ahead of us. It suddenly catches sight of us, and Noctis uses his ability that sucks the enemies in and I hold onto him to keep from being sucked in myself. Once the MT was gone, we continue to walk, climbing down stairs to open a door and walk through another hall. This place was like a maze with scary dead soldiers coming back to life, and I did not like it at all. I finally recognize this hall as we continue to walk until we get to another bridge with Noctis ahead of me. But a dead MT pounces on Noctis, and holds him down as it sparks up. I try to kick the MT off of him, and succeeding finally before it blows, and I help Noctis up.
