This is a normal clock tower. From the entrance of the dungeon you can see the six stories high building towering over you. The outside looks old, the rocks covering the walls wearing away. At the top of the tower, an aged and colossal clock magestically looks down, waiting silently. A muted noise can be heard from inside, and if the person pays enough attention, the sound can be recognized as hundreds of clocks resonating at the same time.
As the people walk inside the old wooden door, the huge clock at the end of the tower begins moving once more, resounding even louder than the rest of the clocks inside. The walls are covered with all sort of timing devices: watches, hourglasses, grandfather clocks, alarm clocks. All ticking at different tempos. Some move extremely fast, with hurried tic-tic-tics while others move lazily, making deep tic-tocs as the slender arms move with time. Shadows roam freely, making the scenery look eerie.
Levels: 1-5
Shadows: Maya type, Twin type, Sand type, Mother type, and Tiara type

 Chie eventually made it, along with her two friends in tow to the outside of one of the dungeons. She looked up, seeing it was a large sort of tower, with a clock near the top of it. She saw the wooden doors, and felt another rush of energy. "Ooh, I am so ready for this" She called, as she finally let go of her two teammates. She was just waiting for a bit, on Rise, before she would consider storming in. She wondered which of the two's dungeons this was. The girl's, or the boy's.

"What took you so long?" Rednal asked, waving from the area just in front of the door. He seemed a little different than before, having evidently put on something that was a lot like subtle armor... but perhaps more importantly, his hands were enveloped in interesting-looking gloves that had what looked like a number of empty places to put things on the back. One such place, the only filled one, had a red crystal in it.

Yukiko calmly followed Chie as the other girl had one of her arms held tightly. "Hello Rednal." She greeted the boy before looking up at the large tower. "Who's do you think this one is?" She asked the girl standing right next to her.

Looking at the large structure, Rise was a little relieved. It didn't look too grotesque, but the was an eerie feeling about it. Perhaps it was the peculiar sound coming from inside.
To their makeshift group, Rise made a quick headcount and nodded. "Are we ready?" she asked, praying that they were.
"Because if so, then let's go!" she called out, her hands clenched tightly.

"Oh, it's definitely the girl's. I checked." Rednal said dryly, though the question hadn't really been directed towards him. "Ma... I mean, one of my friends said that the heavy offense people in our team were mostly in the other group, so it was best if I came this way to even things out a little and protect everyone. Door's unlocked; we can go in anytime."

Chie had been surprised to see Rednal, who had managed to get there before them somehow. However, before she could protest, Rise and Rednal both seemed to be mentioning to go. "All Right!" she called. "Let's get a move on people!" And with that, she started towards the door, ready to take out whatever might get in their way.

Yukiko nodded her head as she made her way to the door of the tower with her fans in her hands at the ready for whatever stood in their way.

"Rednal Punch!" Rednal said as he raised a foot and pushed the door open. Wait a moment... well, that sort of thing isn't very important. A ticking noise could be heard a moment later as the massive numbers of timekeeping devices could be seen. More than that, Rednal wasn't so sure of... except, of course, for the fact that he could see a few Shadows. With a shrug, he stepped inside, just in case there were any traps.

"Oh, deary me~ There are people here! And look at this mess!" a cold voice could be heard, resounding in every corner of the first floor. A giggle echoed through the walls, and what sounded like mechanical instruments moving from above also filled the room. Just as the people passed through the old door, and stepped inside the tower, the clock at the end of the building began moving once more. The only difference was that, it moved backwards.
"You'll have to forgive me" the shadow continued, "But, you'll have to give me some time to fix this place... It isn't...presentable." The voice, that resembled the blonde girl's spoke coldly, but with a gentle tone to it. It placed great emphasis on the word 'fix'. What it said seemed to have no significance at all, but what she meant, and of course she wasn't saying was that, they had a very limited time to find the end of the maze towards the next floor, before more powerful shadows begin appearing.
Soon after, the voice died out, the clocks covering the walls beginning to tic once more, a more emphasized "TIC TOC" echoing at the end of the hall.
"Time is moving fast ~ "

Chie made her way inside, following the overly excited Rednal as he made his way into the room. She heard a loud ticking, and as she looked around, she saw many, many clocks in the room. "Wow...." she called, as she looked at it, turning her head a bit. She then re-focused back to Rednal. She couldn't help but feel just a tad bit annoyed at how he entered, with no regards to traps or the like. "Be careful Rednal-kun." she called, cautiously. The boy was still new, so he didn't have a lot of experience with going through dungeons. Could he even summon his persona on command? She pushed the questions away right now as she stepped inside, in case Rednal was attacked, and she had to save him. At the voice, and the emphasized ticking, Chie turned to the others. "Let's hurry up, and get through this dungeon ASAP." she called, hoping the others would agree.

"Lets go partner!!" "I-I think mine's cracked too...critical hit to the nads."  "Hold on there!" Yosuke stepped in front of Rednal quickly, sticking out his arm to stop the new guy before he did something reckless that could hurt the whole group. Believe it or not, Yosuke was actually pretty quick on his feet, and Yosuke sighed and gave a smile when he stopped him from taking off. "You've been missing most of the meetings right? You need to be less hotheaded. There are traps all over this dungeon, and most Shadows can't be taken down alone you know. Don't worry though, stick close to Chie and me and we should have no problems taking this place down." Yosuke said talking casually to Rednal. This was the first time Soji's trusted them to take the lead on their own, and Yosuke was more than confident in their team, but he knew just like everyone else the dangers of reckless action in a world like this. Even now the thrill of taking the lead in the party excited him, but the things he regretted from last year had taught him to curb his desire for excitement before it hurt anyone ever again. Not wanting to sound like a bigot, Yosuke stepped back and relaxed a bit, motioning for Rednal to stick close to him so he was near the front of the team too. "I know you haven't heard much about this place anyways, right? Hey, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Whether it's about a dungeon's existence, the outline, I'm not we have any definite answers but I think we've got a few good theories for you to listen to if you're interested." Yosuke looked around as they entered the clock filled area, his goal to head towards the tic toc in the back that seemed louder than the rest.
"Ugh...that took FOREVER!!"

Chie whistled a bit as Yosuke held back Rednal, and talked to him about what he shouldn't do. "Wow Yosuke." she started. "You're sounding more and more like a leader by the minute." She was impressed. He himself had called himself the 'advisor type' before, but the way he talked now... It showed he could handle being a leader. "So where to now, Yosuke?" she called, lightly. She didn't like the ticking sound, and hoped that they would get through this area before something bad happened.

"Three...Two...One..." The female's voice spoke once more, a girly giggle coming after the countdown. As her counting reached zero, there was a loud chiming sound, coming from the clocks.
"My my ~ Your time is up! You sure are slow. I think you might need fixing. But, fear not. Since I am here to fix you."
Soon after the loud noise died away, a group of six Mother type shadows surrounded the party, ready to attack. The door that signaled the pass towards the next room closed with a strident sound, and a 'click' followed after.

"Lets go partner!!" "I-I think mine's cracked too...critical hit to the nads." Yosuke stopped when the one they were searching for appeared again, and told them that their time was up. "Hey, wait a minute! Gah, damnit." Yosuke sighed when a bunch of shadow showed up and lamented for a second, his job becoming harder by the moment. "Oh man...couldn't you give us a break just once?" After that Yosuke took his stance, drawing his kunai as he motioned for the others to listen, preparing for the fight. "Rise, they look like they're all the same type. See if you can analyze anything about them. Chie, I want you to protect Yukiko while she prepares to use her fire spells! You stay in front with me new guy. I'll believe in you this time...lets show them what we can do. Garudyne!" Yosuke shouted, his card suddenly appearing as he slashed through it. Susano-O appeared, the wind in the area suddenly picking up as a sickle formed by his magic cut through the air, attacking the closest Mother shadow to test it's abilities.
"Ugh...that took FOREVER!!"
