Story/Rigomor: Difference between revisions

*'''Ara:''' ''We also met the Fire Master. It was really an unexpected encounter.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Not to mention how dangerous. We were fortunate that the Fire Master came back to his senses in the end...''

*'''Ain:''' ''It's too early to let your guard down. Let's go past this realm before we relax.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''... Hey. Is it me, or does this place seem... Different?''

*'''Aisha:''' ''What's going on? Surely Master Ventus also used this path to go back to Elrianode?''

*'''Rena:''' ''But this place was sealed for a long time. Maybe they finally noticed our presence and decided we're not welcome here.''

*'''Add:''' ''Tsk, even though we have both the power source and the coordinates back to Elrianode... If only we had proper equipment...''

*'''Elesis:''' ''No use complaining now! Come on, let's go!''

*'''Add:''' ''Damn it! Where are they all coming from? We can't even approach it!''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Master Denif said it takes a lot of mana to open the seal. They won't be able to keep the rift open for long.''

*''Keee- Grrrrrr-!''

*'''Eve:''' ''...! Enemies approaching, the numbers have increased significantly!''

*'''Chung:''' ''Kugh...! When did they...''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Are they coming this way?''

*'''Eve:''' ''No. According to their movement patterns... The rift! They are heading towards Elrianode!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Elsword!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Come on, concentrate! The monsters are headed towards the rift!''

*'''Lu:''' ''There are too many monsters. I'm not certain we can arrive on time...''

*'''Ciel:''' ''... Damn it, they are approaching fast, and there's too many of them! At this rate...!''

*'''Eve:''' ''The monsters are reaching the dimensional rift!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Oiiiii!!''

*'''Laby:''' ''You baddies won't be able to set a single foot in this place as long as Laby and Nisha are here!! Ehhh?? But you don't have feet!!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Whoa!! You're the El Search Party!! There's so many of you! I'm...''

*''Keeee-!''

*'''Rena:''' ''Oh my, looks like this girl was sucked into the dimensional rift with us. I guess it's better than being stuck with the monsters by herself...''

*'''Chung:''' ''Did she lose consciousness from the shock? At least she doesn't look hurt.''

*'''Eve:''' ''Yes. It seems that the constant stimuli has caused the chaos to shift and change into a dimensional rift.''

*'''Ain:''' ''And we were sucked in to that dimensional rift when that happened. From what I can sense, I believe we are in...''

*'''Ara:''' ''It seems we would need to be more careful next time.''

*'''Eve:''' ''We don't have much time. We should move, before more enemies approach.''

*'''Eve:''' ''I have searched this vicinity and sensed an unusual enclosure with air.''

*'''Raven:''' ''A natural cave...? But then you wouldn't have used 'unusual' to describe it.''

*'''Eve:''' ''You are correct. I'm not certain, but it seems artificial. I don't sense any immediate threat, but...''

*'''Eve:''' ''Elsword, even as we speak, Aisha is using a spell that allows us to breathe, manage our temperature, and withstand the water pressure. We were fighting non-stop since entering Henir's Realm. It's true we must eventually head towards the surface, but we need rest.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''E, Eve, it's fine! A spell like this is nothing for a genius girl...''

*'''Aisha:''' ''H, huh?''

*'''Chung:''' ''Then for now, we'll need to defeat these monsters first. Let's hurry!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Zzzz... Laby... Will help...''

*'''Rena:''' ''Phew... Thank goodness the monster wasn't too strong.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Ask... Elsword... Zzzzz''

*'''Rose:''' ''She... Did come through the dimensional rift that led to Elrianode...''

*'''Elesis:''' ''And the seal in the El Tower can only be opened with the help of, not only Master Denif, but all the masters and priestesses.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Can't eat any more...''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Although from the way she's acting, it's hard to think she earned their trust.''

*'''Chung:''' ''I see something between the rocks over there! Do you think, it revealed itself from the impact when we defeated the whale monster?''

*'''Rose:''' ''A circular door...? Is that the enclosure with air that you've mentioned?''

*'''Zero:''' ''Who would make something like this at the bottom of the sea? It's very suspicious.''

*'''Rena:''' ''What can we do? Even if it is a bit suspicious, it's our best option for now.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Then that something might be at the end of this tunnel.''

*'''Add:''' ''A tunnel hidden away like this? This smells trouble no matter how you look at it. The fact that there's a rail in a place like this means whatever they had to move was important, and they had a lot of it.''

*'''Chung:''' ''I think it's a good idea to check on the tunnels. Since there's no sign of life, we shouldn't come across any enemies, right?''

*'''Raven:''' ''There's some merit to investigating. If we're lucky, we can figure out where we are.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Yeah, I would feel better once I know where we are.''

*'''Rena:''' ''Huhu, aren't you lively. Since it looks like we have a long way to go, why don't you introduce yourself on the way?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Ok! Laby also has a lot of question to ask about the El Search Party!''

*'''Laby:''' ''I'm Laby!! And this is my trusty friend, Nisha! So I'm here to help with Bellonde and Ignia and... Well everyone from Elrianode!''

*'''Add:''' ''She must have no friends if she calls that strange thing a friend.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''He slept for a long time? And what do you mean, he has to be in Elrianode? Could it be...?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Well, everyone in Elrianode called Bellonde, Gaia!''

*'''Ara:''' ''Did you also meet Master Ventus and Master Rosso? Are they safe?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Uh huh! They're both in Elrianode! Rosso used to be all sickly, but now he's suuuuuuuuper healthy and always fighting with Ignia!''

*'''Aisha:''' ''I was worried that Elrianode will be impacted negatively with the sudden shift in Henir's Realm, but with that many masters and the priestesses, I guess there's nothing to worry about!''

*'''Laby:''' ''Anyway, where's this? Laby promised Master Denif to bring the El Search Party to Elrianode...''

*'''Laby:''' ''This... Is the Demon Realm...?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Of course, you're startled. Who would've thought they'll end up in the Demon Realm?''

*'''Chung:''' ''Ah, she looks... Really happy.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Well, you see, Rosso said Laby is from the Demon Realm!''

*'''Lu:''' ''I don't sense any demonic energy... The Fire Master said you're from the Demon Realm?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Rosso said the energy in Laby is something he felt in the Demon Realm, but different from demonic energy! Like it was mixed with something? Laby was in the Black Forest for a very long time, so Laby's not sure where Laby's from, or who Laby is! But Laby was able to leave the forest recently thanks to Elsword!''

*'''Add:''' ''Strange. Looks like the gas is confusing the neural system to make everyone think they're tasting something different.''

*'''Eve:''' ''You are correct. According to the component analysis, it's a by-product of burning something... But it's essentially toxic gas.''

*'''Eve:''' ''They should be able to process it naturally in small doses. Of course, if we inhale it for too long, it won't be safe.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''I see. So that's why the monsters are just lurking around the vicinity. They know that the gas might start leaking if they attack this place.''

*''Creeeeeek, creeeeeek...''

*'''Chung:''' ''... I sense presence beyond this tunnel. They're not even trying to hide it.''

*'''Eve:''' ''I still sense no life forms. There's not even a surge in energy level. But perhaps this is...?''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Eve, what is it?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''I agree. I didn't expect to encounter machines here.''

*'''Zero:''' ''Let's see... Huh, looks like these junk only operate through a specific mechanism.''

*'''Eve:''' ''How rude. Nasods are the culmination of Adrian's knowledge. It's an insult to be compared with this subpar technology. These machines are made with very simple parts, just like this tunnel. I'm surprised these high-maintenance machines are still moving...''

*'''Raven:''' ''I can see how. Look over here. Compared to the old body parts, the power cource here is relatively clean. Which means someon is regularly repairing these machines.''

*'''Chung:''' ''Does this mean something really important is at the end of this tunnel?''

*'''Aisha:''' ''What could be there underneath?''

*'''Raven:''' ''A door? Or a wall? It can't be that we're already at the end...''

*'''Ara:''' ''I don't see anything special...''

*'''Lu:''' ''There's no way someone would create a structure this big with no purpose in the Demon Realm. Search thoroughly.''

*'''Chung:''' ''How about we open this? Maybe the tunnel will continue behind this door.''

*'''Add:''' ''Don't be stupid. We're not naive brats who follow any adults who give them candy. And how do we know if you're actually friends with this Calonne guy, or mortal enemies?''

*'''Laby:''' ''Eh? They're not friends??''

*'''Winster:''' ''Return...? You mean to Elrios?''

*'''Eve:''' ''Yes, we were caught in the mutated dimensional rift while returning to Elrios. It seems to occur quite often around this area. Do you know anything about it?''

*'''Winster:''' ''I'm sorry, we do not know much about what happened at the surface since we've been sent down here... Did somebody develop a technology that connects between our realm and Elrios already?''

*'''Add:''' ''... Useless.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Would you be able to trust the information I give you?''

*'''Winster:''' ''How's this? If you accept my invitation to visit our village, I will use the special transportation device I used, to lead you to the surface. I will act as your guide, and you can supervise my actions.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Are you volunteering to be our hostage? What merits do we have, that you would so boldly?''

*'''Ciel:''' ''I agree. He's not in a position to take risks. And if something happens, well...''

*'''Aisha:''' ''I think you should stop there, Ciel.''

*'''Add:''' ''Tsk, fine... Let's see where you take us.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... Thank you for accepting my offer. I will lead you to the village. This way.''

*'''Winster:''' ''That was part of the reason, but more importantly...''

*''Beep-! Beep-!''

*'''Winster:''' ''Ah... Looks like we've exceeded maximum capacity. My mistake, it's been a long time since I had to transport so many people.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Maximum... Are you mocking me?!''

*'''Winster:''' ''Well, you see... The deep sea creatures here have strange... habits. They collect hard, or shiny objects to build their nests.''

*'''Eve:''' ''Hm? There's a creature fleeing from the submarine. It seems to be carrying the... energy core?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Of course it's troublesome. It's not an easy device to produce. We might have to drag this submarine all the way to the village if we do not have the energy core.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''You say that with such a straight face... All we need to do is bring it back, right?''

*'''Elesis:''' ''So we need to somehow find the creature that stole the energy core here, right? I can't help thinking that we're being duped.''

*'''Lu:''' ''If he were planning something, he would have already done it. I reckon he's trying to figure out something, by requesting us to bring back the energy core with a condition. Though I also find him slightly suspicious... Let's go along with it for now. In any case, could you make sure not to tell him that I'm a demon lord?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Nothing, so you can stop with the worry. I just wan to check something.''

*'''Eve:''' ''... I have located the wave of the energy core. This way.''

*'''Raven:''' ''He is at the crash site with the submarine. He said he will try to communicate with the village.''

*'''???:''' ''... And you just left him there? I mean, it's not really my problem, but I'm surprised you left him alone. He could be calling reinforcements with all of you here, you know?''

*'''???:''' ''Hey, hey, relax. I know I'm the one who brought it up, but I'm sure it's fine. Father's the representative of the village, and all he cares about is the safety of the villagers. Since you all managed to come here without a single injury, I don't think we'd be able to stop you anyway.''

*'''Chung:''' ''... You're saying it like it's not your problem. Isn't the village important to you?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''What? Of course it's important. I'm just stating the facts, no need to get all worked up like that. I'm Haivan. I'm the son of the village representative, Winster. As you can see, I'm a Nous.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oh, that's what we're called. Since it seems like you don't know, I guess you're not from around here? At least... Not all of you.''

*'''Lu:''' ''......''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oh, so you know. Our ruler is one of the 4 Lords under the demon king. The ruler of the Northern Beasts, the White-Ghost King Aegirp, that's the name.''

*'''Laby:''' ''The White-Ghost King...!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I've heard a lot about this ruler, and they were all great. A wise ruler, a compassionate ruler... My father's especially loyal. Maybe it's because he experienced the changes personally.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Oh? And you don't share his beliefs?''

*'''Aisha:''' ''What's going on...! They're using magic too!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I told you they'd be troublesome. Fighting really isn't my forte, so I'll leave it to you guys.''

*'''Ara:''' ''But he can be very... Trying.''

*'''Ain:''' ''This reminds me of when we made Phorus write a letter of apology.''

*'''Rena:''' ''Ain, that's ages ago!''

*'''Winster:''' ''In the past, we opened a portal using the energy from this gem. However, we can no longer use it, as we cannot go to the surface.''

*'''Ain:''' ''(The energy from the gem was definitely similar to the energy of the real Dark El.)''

*'''Winster:''' ''We can no longer use the portal we've used to trade, as it's located on the surface where the Garen are. I suspect it no longer exists.''

*'''Add:''' ''Tsk, that can't be the only one! You can't expect us to believe you don't have another one? A proto-type?''

*'''Lu:''' ''!''

*'''Chung:''' ''I agree with Elsword. I do not want to return by putting our friend in danger.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''We can return together after breaking the White-Ghost King's seal, right? We just need to stay in the Demon Realm a little longer.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''All of you...''

*''Lu:''' ''......... Alright. I can agree with that.''

*'''Raven:''' ''So it's decided. You don't disagree with our decision?''

*'''Raven:''' ''Abandoned plant? I thought we were going to the laboratory that holds the portal?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''The secret laboratory holds important things other than the research and the portal, so father created a complex security system. So we're going to make a key.''

*'''Winster:''' ''I will explain on the way. Follow me.''

}}

*'''Haivan:''' ''I see, then I wish sparkly weird plate good luck too!''

*'''Laby:''' ''This is Nisha!''

*'''Elesis:''' ''Elsword...''

*'''Lu:''' ''Hohoho, I will make sure nothing goes wrong on my watch in the lower levels.''

*'''Zero:''' ''What did you say?!''

*'''Add:''' ''You're the one that's acting weird lately. Tsk, we shouldn't have to worry about you.''

*'''Chung:''' ''(Elsword... He's been uneasy since what's happened in Henir's realm. Is it because of the vision he had when he first came to the demon realm?)''

*'''Haivan:''' ''It's all nice and touching, but this is all routine stuff. You're making it sound like we're about to head off to war.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''It's been several years since our last maintenance, so there's probably more monsters than usual... But it should be fine.''

*'''Add:''' ''You said this is all routine! Is this even safe?''

*''Elsword:''' ''No, looks like they can't.''

*'''Ara:''' ''Oh! Over there...!''

*'''Ara:''' ''Oh... Sorry! I was surprised to see the machines we saw earlier, but it doesn't look like its' working.''

*'''Raven:''' ''I see, so the machines we've fought were made here.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yup! And we bring it here to fix it if it's broken beyond simple repairs. Thanks to you all, we need to bring a looooot of them back here.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''No worries, I break them quite often tweaking the machines here and there without father's knowledge.''

*'''Ara:''' ''Uuuh... But... We've completely destroyed most of them...''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I'm telling you, it's fine! They're designed to attack indiscriminately if they sense any life form within a certain vicinity. See? Just like those ones.''

*'''Ara:''' ''... Huh?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''So I'll be under your care again, good luck!''

*'''Add:''' ''Damn it, why are the machines here as well. Hey!!''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Phew, I was surprised because they swarmed us out of nowhere!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oh, you really are strong! I thought it was an exaggeration when father told me you've defeated the machines in the tunnel. No wonder father put his faith in you! So how about it? Wanna fight together of our side?''

*'''Ara:''' ''Add! Please! Please calm down!''

*'''Add:''' ''Let me... Go...!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''I just thought you wanted some drama, so I played the part.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''I really can't tell if he hates us or not...''

*'''Raven:''' ''There's too many machines here for security purposes.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Maybe they need a lot of replacements because of the machine's life expectancy?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... What's that?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''What are nasods?''

*'''Add:''' ''Don't reply to everything he says. You're falling for his scheme. Why are YOU asking?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oh, I was just surprised how similar it was to here. This used to be an armaments plant too.''

|contents1=

*'''Haivan:''' ''Hm? No, not at all. You heard how toxic gas is formed when we use icerites as an energy source? There was someone who collapsed due to the gas. So we've closed down the factory and decided to find another way to fight the Garens.''

*'''Raven:''' ''So you've only closed down the plant. Even so, it couldn't have been an easy decision.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Heh, if you're going to nag, I'd have to refuse. My life is already half filled with father's nagging and lecturing.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''(He seemed smart, but he's still immature.)''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Of course. That's what they're living for. It's so barren here, you need something to hang on to, you know?''

*'''Raven:''' ''... I've been thinking, what reason do you have to revenge? You mention the war, but you weren't even born during that period.''

*'''Add:''' ''Everything's easy for you, isn't it. So what, you think you'll be happy if you abandon your past and move forward? What, with the future full of sunshine and roses?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Of course there's no guarantee, but let's think about it the other way. If the White-Ghost King is back, just like the adults dream, will we be happy? If we are, how long would that last? Doesn't the White-Ghost King already have a history of losing?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Even if everything falls right in to place, it's not going to be the same as before. Do you understand? The White-Ghost King is stopping everyone from moving forward. But you can't have that. You need to build everything with your own two hands. You can't just wait for a savior to come along and perform miracles.''

*'''Add:''' ''......''

|tab1=Elsword, Aisha, Raven, Ara, Add

|contents1=

*'''Aisha:''' ''Elsword.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''What are you thinking about? Is it because of what Haivan said earlier?''

*'''Raven:''' ''... Elsword, I know you feel responsible for everything related to the El, but you don't have to worry about something that's yet to happen. And remember that we're not the only ones working to make sure something like that never happens again.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Yeah. Even when the El was separated, there were many people protecting the El, remember? The priestesses, Velder knights, Hamel knights, Caluso tribe members, people from Lanox, oh! And you can't forget the El Search Party of Ruben!''

*'''Aisha:''' ''What? I'm always positive! Anyway, what I mean is, we'll always find a way, no matter what! Look, there's no El, or magic stones here, but they're still living their own way.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Of course, I'm a genius, remember?''

*'''Raven:''' ''(I can see that the demons here lived with hatred in their hearts. But it's still amazing how they've managed to find a compromise in technology even with rage in the background. It can't be easy waiting for the right opportunity when the enemy is right in front of them. In the past... I thought the only way to live was to destroy myself in the name of revenge. That was the only way I knew how. I thought that was my path to redemption. I still stand by that belief but...... If I just had one ally who survived, perhaps this was the kind of path I would have found as well...)''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Huhu, Elsword finally matured. I feel so proud.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Then stop acting like one! Making us worried like that, hm? Oh, Raven, what are you thinking about?''

*'''Raven:''' ''... Ah, I was thinking that these machines should have enough parts to fix the refiner.''

----

*'''Add:''' ''And that's what I mean by amateur! You're never going to step foot on land that way!''

*'''Ara:''' ''Please stop fighting...''

*'''Raven:''' ''... Are they still fighting?''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Sigh... I thought their personalities clashed, but now, I think maybe they match too well.''

*'''Raven:''' ''I can't believe they're doing all their work, fighting like that. Looks like they're at the last stage of repairs.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Good, now let's check if it operates properly.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Anyway, are you guys really planning to save the White-Ghost King? I know my father asked... But your goal is the portal. Once you go back... You don't really have to fulfill the promise, you know?''

*'''Ara:''' ''How could you say that! A promise made is a promise kept!''

*'''Add:''' ''What is your motive asking that question?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yeah! Stop questioning my every motive! I was just... Checking in case you join with the Garens next time we meet!''

*'''Add:''' ''How can I not find him suspicious when he acts like that?!''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Oomph! Now, if I just close the case... There you go! Let's run it!''

*''Clack Clack''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Of course! Just watch my masterful work!''

*'''Aisha:''' ''That kind of bravado reminds me of Elsword when we first me.''

*''Crash!! Grrr Crack!''

*'''Ara:''' ''I thought so too, since we were fighting machines all this time, and it carries a large machine.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''The center had moving machines?''

*'''Rena:''' ''Well, let' just say we learned Elesis's genuine side.''

*'''Elesis:''' ''It's nothing!''

*'''Rena:''' ''Huhuhu... What about the lower levels?''

*'''Ain:''' ''Nothing much. I did receive an important life lesson though.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Anyway, it seems we've collected enough icerite, but I wonder if the machines are still safe after the mess.''

*'''Ara:''' ''I believe so, since the machines at the center were fine? Oh! Where is Haivan?''

*'''Lu:''' ''... Everyone listen. Once the portal is running, you should return to Elrios. I will stay here.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... What?''

*'''Lu:''' ''... I'm sorry to go back on everyone's decison. But I didn't make this decision lightly. I've thought it over since I've suspected Aegirp's situation.''

*'''Raven:''' ''Why did you make such a decision?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Yeah, it's really sudden. Plus, we don't know what will happen when we operate the portal. We also need to move the White-King's soul some place safe...''

*'''Lu:''' ''Hm? Why are you startled? It's not like I'm parting with you. And I'll take care of the soul. That's what we initially agreed on, anyway.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''No need to feel so sad. You're going to come back to the demon realm to find the Dark El, right?''

*'''Lu:''' ''Don't worry, it's just a short farewell. When you come back, finding the Dark El will be like going on a picnic.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''We're not saying goodbye forever. We'll meet again soon.''

*'''Lu:''' ''We don't need to say anything. When you come back, you'll be stuck with us again.''

*'''Eve:''' ''Both of you... Ugh... This noise...''

*'''Chung:''' ''Were you injured?''

*'''Eve:''' ''I'm fine. I wasn't injured in battle. I must have overexerted myself.''

*'''Eve:''' ''I'm fine. There's no need to do this for my sake...''

*'''Haivan:''' ''It's going to take forever and a half to explain how the portal works. It's faster if I do it myself. I did say it might be dangerous, but it should work properly. You just need to come and check. Wouldn't this be easier for you as well?''

*'''Haivan:''' ''Leave it to me, I'm an expert! Father, I'll take care of everything, so you go back and rest. Nichel? Take him back, ok?''

*'''Winster:''' ''Haivan?''

|tab1=Main

|contents1=

*'''Winster:''' ''It's alright. You still need a guide.''

*'''Nichel:''' ''... I'm surprised. He never acts that seriously.''

*'''Lu:''' ''Hoho, perhaps he was intimidated and had to leave due to my charismatic presence.''

*'''Winster:''' ''Haha, perhaps. I thank you again for making the decision to aid us.''

*'''Laby:''' ''Look, Nisha! There's a huge lake! It looks just like you, just bigger!''

*'''Add:''' ''Is that the secret laboratory? It looks much more advanced than the junk we've seen so far.''

*''Slam!!''

*'''Ciel:''' ''He's not listening to anything we've got to say.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''I don't know! Shouldn't we do something about those machines that are attacking us first?!''

*'''Winster:''' ''... The cockpit is inside the machine.''

*'''Rose:''' ''Ah, you mean those robots. I see. How many are there?''

*'''Add:''' ''Four. Let's spread out.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Prepare yourselves.''

}}

*'''Raven:''' ''I don't think he'd put himself in harms way... But then again, he might have an emergency escape system prepared.''

*'''Ciel:''' ''Then how we're going to escape that situation, I guess, is the real question.''

*'''Eve:''' ''Even if something like that does happen, Aisha, Chung, and I can mitigate some damage.''

*'''Aisha:''' ''Let's avoid that situation if we can though. I used a lot of my mana and Eve overexerted herself. Besides, it's not just us that will be hit.''

*'''Laby:''' ''We need to save Winster and Nichel too!''

*'''Chung:''' ''We can't waste too much time though. Elsword, what do you think?''

*'''Rose:''' ''Yes, quick action is preferable at this moment.''

*'''Zero:''' ''Yeah. One thing for certain, if we don't take that gem, we'll definitely lose our way back home.''

*'''Ain:''' ''Is it so strange?''

*'''Rena:''' ''No. I mean, yes, but it's good.''

*'''Haivan:''' ''... Hey, sorry to interrupt your moment, but I can hear everything you say. Well, I gave you a choice! Don't hate me later, ok?''

----

*'''Add:''' ''You need to calm down, we're the one inside this thing. We're not running away. Is there any way to deactivate the power source now?''

*'''Winster:''' ''...? ... ...?''

*'''Eve:''' ''Even if we escape now, we need to be able to activate the portal later. We'll do everything we can. Please help us.''

*'''Winster:''' ''... .... .... ... ... .... .... ....''

*'''Lu:''' ''No, Ciel! That's not the soul! Up there!''

*''Crash!!''

*'''???:''' ''... It's not exactly what you promised, but still satisfying. The boy that resonates with the El... I didn't expect to see you here.''
