Mission/Chapter 3: A New Dark World

You see that the researcher also steps through with you. He remains silent, as if still comprehending what have been happening.

As Reeve and Gabrien checks the door, they find it easily swings out, but with a grinding squeak that echoes out. Then, there was a sudden flash of white light coming from somewhere in the other side. "Hey! What is that?!" Came a woman's voice that follows. There is what appears to be a larger stone chamber with similar other doors outside your current room, which you discern during the momentary flash. The light from the portal does not shine far, leaving the chamber in darkness again.

Then, there was a scream. It was not the same voice, but it was also female.

Reeve went to light up a torch. The place feels like some kind of dungeon, as the walls and floor are made of cobblestones. There are signs of the ground being deformed, which is similar to the areas where the shadow creatures are. Then, dust seems to be falling from the ceiling as slight vibrations is felt.

Gabrien focuses deep in his surroundings. He picks up the footsteps of 2 individuals that are making their way over. While they are heavy, they are probably not the cause of the vibrations. However, the way the structure shakes does not feel to be a good thing, as it could cause a collapse if it worsens. Gabrien can also notice something strange, in that the opposite holding cell in the larger chamber seem to be emitting pulsing light through cracks in the wall facing opposite of the party.

Ash could hide beside the doorway to be in reach of attacking if needed while peeking into the outside.

The people approaches closer, and they are standing just shy of your starting room to the right. Apparently, this room is at the end of the chamber, where your left is stone wall, in front is another room with a glow, and the right leads to further down.

Suddenly, there was chilling groan, one of which is badly familiar to you as being from the big shadow monster you fought before. The people sounds worried. "Oh boy, sista! That is one of em' bigguns!" A male voice comments. Then, the light in the opposite room glows bright purple for a moment in the shape of a widening crack, before disappearing in darkness.

Ash keeps himself well hidden in the blindspot of the door. Gabrien speaks out, and the woman responds. "Who the Inferno are you?! How did you get here?! Ah shit, if you really are a Friendly, then help us dry out this new Leakage!"

Reeve's ears listen in to the rumbles and noises. The cracks of stone and wood are faintly popping off around the place as the shakes grow. The alien moans are coming from where the room where the light was. Pieces of stone can be heard breaking off and bouncing about in that room, as if something is breaking through the wall.

This is when everyone can tell something big is happening. There was another loud groan, and a spark of purple, and the hiss of something speeding in the air. That is when the two people used their strange machine to produce a blinding flash of light down the corridor chamber. You can see the silhouettes of hazy forms flying around the chamber like that of bats under the momentary intense lighting. They shriek as it somehow hurts them, but are still alive as the chamber returns to its darkness.

Reeve indeed was successful in shielding his eyes from the glare. He manages to cross the hallway with torch in hand, and avoids the shadow creatures avoiding him by darting to the ceiling corners of the chamber. He is now in front of the monster's room.
