Several hours later...

Marcel: "Is everyone good to go?"

Everyone has recovered by the time the sun begins to set.

Sid: "I'd say we are!"

The doors open on their own.

Ethan: "Looks like they want us to come in."

Everyone steps inside and into the giant main hall.

Dante: "Where are they?"

???: "Below."

Everyone gets on the defensive as they hear a speaker system go off.

Dawn: "Show yourself!"

A staircase leading deep beneath the earth opens in front of them.

Horus: "Where's the fun in that?"

The speaker cuts out.

Max: "The fun comes from kicking your ass ASAP!"

The passage gives a foreboding aura.

Jade: "Can't go giving up last minute."

Phillip: "Couldn't say that better myself."

They all descend the stairs, filled with fear.

Robert: "I hope he had an elevator and just felt like torturing us."

BroBot: "?"

Alphonse: "Why?"

The speaker reactivates.

Horus: "Excellent, now for you to succumb."

They see the eight doors, knowing what lies beyond.

Connor: "So we're giving them rematches."

Horus: "I designed the doors so only certain people can enter certain ones."

Serena: "You really think they'll stop us?"

Horus: "(chuckling) You'll just have to see."

The speaker cuts out.

Ike: "So he's splitting us off."

Everyone looks towards each other.

Cereza: "And some groups will be smaller than others."

Denton: "It doesn't matter!"

Everyone looks towards their respective doors.

Owen: "We're going to win!"

They look back towards each other.

Jack: "(smiling) Let's finish the fight!"

Everyone heads for their respective doors.

Isaac: "See you soon."

Jacob and his Creations step through the gold, Denton and his green, Max with his are navy blue, CJ and his are the black door, Phillip and his go through rainbow, Spencer and his go through white, Bryant and the Metama are going through blood red, and lastly, Isaac and his go through metallic grey...
