Nyx shrieked as she stared up at that...thing, that monster. She didn't know what it was, but she did know that they had to get the hell out of here. Unfortunately, she felt paralyzed, paralyzed by fear...paralyzed by her anxiety. If she had a body, she would be feeling the cold sweat form while it flowed down her back.
Myu furrowed her brow at Nyx and the monster. Myu simply gazed up at it with a fire during in her eyes. She felt no fear. She felt nothing at all but the fire of desire burning brightly. This was a test, and she was going to succeed. Nothing was going to bring her down. She wouldn't let it. Myu was going to confront her enemy and come out the victor, no matter the cost.
"Nyx," Myu said forcefully, cutting through Nyx's whimpers. "get a hold of yourself. There is nothing to fear. Stand strong, and nothing will defeat us. Right, Mr. Snow?" She said it with so much conviction that it seemed to hype Nyx up. It brought her from a low to a new high.
Myu smiled, her face full of confidence.

"I have no doubt that we will overcome any obstacle that comes against us," Snow said, placing a hand over his heart. "Failure is not an option, for any of us."
"R-right!" Mag stuttered, touched by his words. As much as she teased him, she had to admit that Snow was pretty damn cool at times.
"Now, can you tell me more about this monster that we're facing, Mag?" He asked, face settling into a mask of determination. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but he was feeling quite anxious at the moment. Mag, picking up on this somewhat, decided not to comment, trusting him to tell her if anything was truly wrong.
"The monster is made of pieces of junk from all over the place. It's not even alive per say, so I have no idea how the damn thing got up and moved!" Mag said, peering at the monster closely.
"So, if we find what's manipulating the monster and destroy it, perhaps the monster will colapse?" Snow said, thinking about the possibilities.

The monster, getting its bearings, charged wildly forward, swinging its neck from side to side.
Mag shrieked and Snow, who had been listening to Myu, leaped to one side, landing clumsily in a pile of old sheets.

"Oh, are you guys alright?!" Nyx exclaimed worrying about Snow and Mag. She kept telling herself that she needed to be strong. She needed to be strong for herself...and to show Myu that she could be strong. She needed to prove that she wasn't weak. Nyx was going to show Myu that she was worth it...that she was worth protecting Myu and not the other way around.
Myu quickly glanced over at Snow checking that he was ok and that everything was attached. It wouldn't be to good if their "guide" suddenly...well, let's just say, was "injured" in any way.
"Focus!" Myu hissed at Nyx. "Prepare yourself!" Myu then got in a battle ready stance. She quickly glanced at Snow, but then focused on the monster that same fire burning in her eyes.

" I'm fine!" Snow yelled, groaning. Happily he had landed in something soft, but there was some blunt object poking into his bottom. Running his hand behind him, he realized that it wasn't some foreign object, but one he was carrying. Pulling himself upright into a sitting position, stretching his wings out to make sure they were okay, he reached into an inner pocket of his clothes, pulling out a shining orb. [  Attack Crystal Lvl. 1 (Wind): Allows the user to summon small localized tornados, about three feet tall with a diameter of three feet. Can be used up to ten times.]" I think that Miss Happy needs that more than you, Snowey!" Mag said, voice playful, but with an undertone of caution. " She's in a smaller form than you, probably doesn't know any magic." " I'd have to agree with you," Snow said, nodding. Praying he was on target, Snow threw the orb in towards the last place he had heard Myu's voice. " Please Miss Myu, heads up!"

"Snow! They're in trouble!" Mag shrieked as the monster charged. Snow pushed himself off the pile and onto his feet, just barely keeping his balance as his foot snagged on something. Picking it up, he felt metal cool against his hand.
'I hope this works,' he thought to himself, as he used the power of [Charge One] to fill the metal candleholder with electrical energy.
"Now quickly, Snow! To your left!" Mag yelled. Charging forward, candleholder raised high, he jumped, bringing it downward. And missing the monster in the process. Realizing he hadn't hit his target, he threw the pole at the monster, which, by some miracle considering his athletic ability, actually landed on it.
Undamaged, yet distracted, the monster whipped around, long tails crashing into a nearby pile, knocking debris down.

Myu stared on a tad unnerved. She didn't even realize that the beast was coming at them. How could she have been so careless? And here, she wasn't even able to take care of herself. She had to rely on others.
"Myu...," Nyx whispered breathlessly, as if almost painfully. "Are you alright?" This had been the first time that Nyx had used any of her powers. It was a weird sensation...almost tingly, but at the same time, it felt like she was being ripped apart. She kept telling herself that it was for Myu, but she didn't know how long she could keep her shield up.
Sensing the pain in Nyx's voice, Myu slightly frowned. "I should be asking you about your well-being. Conserve your energy...we need to help Mr. Snow." She had to do something. People were helping her, but she needed to help them. She clutched the orb tightly and together, she and Nyx centered their energies.
"Ready?" Nyx asked, still a little tired. Myu simply nodded, and the orb shined brightly emitting a strong wind that began to wind together into cyclone that thundered across the room.

"Er, now might be the time to get the hell out of here," Mag said, as the monster turned to come after them. Snow nodded and began to slowly walked backwards as it advanced.
Then, as the cyclone hit it, the monster spasmed and collapsed. The heavy wind had thrown it off balance, making it disoriented. The sound of metal grinding across the stonework of the floor screeched across the room, making Snow's ears ring. It's legs flailed in the air, as it tried to get back on its feet.
"Now might be a good time to search for the source of its animation," Snow said, heart pounding. Scanning the room, he saw no likely object that could be it's controller.
"The things probably in one of the other rooms," Mag said, coming to the same conclusion. "I say we start opening doors, before the walking trash heap gets up."

Both Nyx and Myu sighed in relief as they saw their magic hit the creature. Myu was quite satisfied while Nyx was still tired and seemed to pant a bit. Using all this energy really seemed to drain Nyx. Still, Myu and Nyx had worked together and actually accomplished something. It made Nyx feel like she actually did something right and that she was worth something.
"I'm so happy..." Nyx exclaimed happily still panting with every breath. "I'm so proud of you, Myu."
"Yes, but don't think that is the end of it. There are probably more things we must face. Stay alert." At that, Myu hovered over to Snow. "We should leave before it wakes up again."
?Where to? One of the rooms?? Nyx said regaining herself though still feeling weak. She just hoped that every went smoothly now. She didn't know how long she could protect Myu in her current state...

"Alright, let's go." Snow said, breathing heavily.
"I say we start on the right hallway! After all, you can't go wrong if you go right!" Mag said, trying to lighten up the atmosphere. Snow just shook his head at her and began to walk down the path. Of course, nothing happens without incident, and Snow once again tripped over something just outside of the entrance to the hallway.
"Er..." Mag said, feeling somewhat guilty. Snow sat up pushing his hair out from where it had fallen in his face.
"I would like to keep myself intact for at least another few hours, Mag?" Snow said, trying not to sound to angry at his guardian. Getting up, he rested one hand on the doornob of a nearby door, as he restored his center of balance.

"Mr. Snow, you seem quite clumsy. I hope you are not injured." Myu said trying to be sympathetic. She was still trying to lighten up to them, but sometimes the things she would say sounded a little harsh. Though, she wasn't here to make friends. She was here to get answers, and he was needed to guide them around here since he knew the place. She felt like she was using him..., but if it benfited her, she would continue on.
"Nice to see that you are actually caring about other's well-being." Nyx snorted sarcastically. She could dish out some sarcasm when it was needed. She could also give Myu a taste of her own medicine; Myu just seemed cold at times. Sometimes, Nyx wondered if Myu knew what came out of her mouth sometimes.
"I wished that he wasn't injured, correct? I believe that shows I care about his well-being." Myu stated matter-of-factly.
Nyx sighed. She wanted to give Myu the benefit of the doubt..., but knowing Myu, she was probably more worried about herself and how things affected her. Sure, she wanted answers too... "Oh well..." Nyx sighed defeated. "Let's see what's behind this door." Her aura gesturing at the door Snow was resting on.

Mag silently fumed about the clumsy comment. She was preparing to give a scathing reply, when Snow, sensing her animosity, interruped.
"I don't know what you are going to say, but I'm sure it is not neccessary," Snow warned, giving a stern look. Mag, still angry, but wanting to follow the wishes of her friend and charge, held back her comment.
"Fine. But it's not your fault that you can't avoid all the crap on the floor," she said, somewhat indignantly.
"Let's just move on, shall we?" Snow said, attempting to smile. He gently twisted the doornob and the door began to open, giving Mag a good look inside. Panicking, she yelled.
"Close the damn thing!"
Snow slammed the door in suprise.

Confused, Myu looked quizzically at Snow. "Is there something wrong?" She asked as she glanced back and forth from Snow and the door. What was in there that made Mag freak out like that? There were so many questions that surfaced to her mind that she couldn't even process most of them, but the main question that repeatedly itched her thoughts was, 'What was inside the door?'
