       We have been walking through the familiar pine forest for about an hour. The forest was silent as always aside from the constant footsteps of 30 people walking. This brings me faint memories of when i walked along with Mebi's group. The never changing sky is still the same as I remember it, there is no wind and the temperature is perfectly comfortable. I adjust my posture as I walk, keeping my eyes ahead for any sign of the dungeon 2old was talking about. Yet, as we walked, only the vast expanse of identical trees could be seen.

       The silent group of anxious travellers finally started some commotion when, through the trees, a large cube of dark bricks became visible. I was beginning to believe we were lost. If it weren't for 2old's confident face, i might've brought it up to him. I breathed a silent sigh of relief. We came from behind the building, so the group all walked around the side to find the doors. I dragged my hand along the rugged wall, feeling the rough bricks underneath my fingertips. As i turned the corner, i looked up at the gigantic wooden doors that blocked the entrance.

       2old turned around in front of the doors to address us all. I walked around to his left as everyone else followed. We formed a loose semi circle around him, making sure those behind us could still see.

"This is it." His first words were exactly the same as Mebi's as we approached the dungeon. I couldn't help but smirk at the deja vu i was feeling. I could see 2old's head turning slightly as he looked at all of us. "This is the dungeon. If Butter, here, is right, it's going to be tough." He reached up and adjusted his sunglasses. "I don't have much else to say, really. Get in there, kick some butt, and have fun. Use whatever you have, Just watch out for each other." He rolled his shoulders and turned around. He grasped the dark metal door knob, twisted, and pulled.

It didn't budge.

      He tried again, using a little more strength, but it refused to open. He frowned slightly, and grabbed the other doorknob and tried to open it. Still nothing. A few amused snickers went around the semicircle. Then full blown laughter. I couldn't help but laugh as well. 2old turned around, dumbfounded. "What are you all laughing at??" He asked, mildly irritated. A girl walked up to him from the crowd. 'Esasi?" She was beaming from ear to ear as she grabbed his shoulders and turned him around. He looked up at the door. There, it read, "Push not Pull"

       It took 2old a moment to realize it. Then he face palmed, trying to hide his embarrassment as he started to laugh as well. That made us laugh harder at his ruined dramatic moment. He gave a big sigh a he reached for the door knob and pushed. The door quietly slide open. We started to regain our composure as the moment faded. Through the mass of bodies following 2old, i could still see Sea and Gymsie giggling. I took a deep breath of the fresh air and followed them into the depths. My smile died as the lighting dimmed and a sense of dread came over me.

       We are going to come across another powerful opponent, like Rain. This time we don't have Mebi's skill to take care of them. Actually, i have no clue how skilled anyone here is, besides maybe 2old, who stood almost toe to toe with Mebi. Almost. That could make the difference between victory and defeat. As we walked down the staircase, deep into a chamber that very well could've been absent of life for ages, I thought about the possible similarities between what this dungeon might have in store, and the previous one.

       Before, the dungeon began with a riddle and a splitting of paths. After that there was the room of lizardmen, with quick swords and beady eyes. That was a tough battle, but we figured out the trick to taking out the lizards. Destroy the glowing ones, and that will prevent them from respawning. The same went for us. Luckily, they didn't kill a single glowing member. The others though, had a bit less luck. I remembered how many of us i saw respawning at the edge of the chamber. Those lizards really were something. After we dealt with the lizards.... There was Rain. Her fight with Mebi only lasted a few minutes, but it was a glorious sight. The perfected dance with death is still fresh in my mind. When given time to think, I would study her movements, trying to imitate them. But there was still questions i couldn't answer. How could she dodge something too fast to see? I could hear the sonic booms of Mebi's scissor blades, see and feel the vibrations in the air as they violently reversed direction to strike once more at Rain who elegantly slid out of the way. She seemingly dodged before they even began striking at her. Rain is dead, now. Her secret will always remain a secret.
