Dee Dee had never really been to Paris before flash, all she knew was that new area of the world opened up and that meant she could help more people and that she had more new things to add to her Beginners guide, which of course also meant she had a lot of work to do to update her guide as fast as possible, so when she seen a mission to look through the catacombs she took it and started to fly to the location the mission would be starting, and as she drew closer she seen an Ally blip show up on the map, and she nodded to herself as she seen she had an Ally in the mission, that was good. She looked to her Summons and nodded to them as they started to go down towards the Catacombs entrance.

As she flew in she seen it was Hikari from before and she waved to her as her Star came to a stop and her and her Summons hopped off and she returned the star to her inventory, Dee Dee was also now sporting a "I love Paris" T-shirt and she walked over to Hikari and the Word bubble popped up "Hello again! seems we are teammates on this mission! That's good to know! I hope the guide I gave you has been helpful!" the Bubble said as Dee Dee checked her equipment and gave the Pet Combat armor to BombDee and then the Ruby Collar to Kramer as well as the Deerstalker cap to Jimmy so he wouldn't be targeted by attacks, With her Friends equipped she looked to Hikari she nodded a bit.

"Are you going to be okay? the Catacombs might be a tight area to fight in, I have a bit of an advantage due to my small size and short reach!" her bubble read as she looked up at her waiting for her to reply, Honestly she was a bit worried, as most people wouldn't have the same comfort as she would working in the catacombs, and if fighting broke out she would have more room in comparison to anyone else due to her size.

Hikari

Dee Dee gave Hikari a thumbs up glad to hear her guide book had come in handy, it was always good to know that her work was being helpful, even if it was just in a limited capacity what with the world as it was, she would also take this time to consider making a map of the catacombs, and likely use the same tricks she used when Investigating the ant's nest so she doesn't get lost down here. So with that in mind Dee Dee opened her inventory and took out a series of different lanterns and flashlights ones that could be held, worn, clipped to clothing, worn on the wrist or head, and a few that had a more focused beam for seeing farther, and even a few that gave a wide area of light around them so they could more easily see the area they would be walking through.

With her flashlights taken out she equipped Kramer, Jimmy, and BombDee with them and then handed a selection of them to Hikari "Maybe put some on your swords too like on the handles? so you can keep track of them even in the dark? there may be light down there but there may also be areas with no light at all so best to be safe... also here take this" her words expressed to Hikari through the word bubble as she handed her a large roll of Light reflective tape.

"Use this to mark our path, put arrows denoting the way out so we know, I will be laying some down as well now and again to mark tunnels we use, I used this in a massive ant's nest before and I think it will be helpful here too since this place might be maze like, also it may or may not allow the use of the map so I will be physically mapping our route" the word bubble continued as Dee Dee took out a notebook and some writing utensils.

"We don't have to worry about food and water at least since in an emergency we can use the system store, but even if for some reason we can't if we get lost I have a lot of food stored in my inventory as well as ingredients and cooking utensils and the like! so we should be fine, stay close and try not to get separated, if we do get separated.. here lemme add you to my friends list so we can send Direct messages over a larger distance" the Bubble continued on as Dee Dee sent Hikari a friend request through the system she was making sure that they wouldn't run into to much trouble especially with how dangerous it could be down there.

With that all sorted she waited for Hikari to be ready before she headed in, marking the path they were taking with the reflective tape and even taking out a length of thread and using that to leave a string trail, handing that duty to BombDee while she started to make her map of their travel.

Hikari

As they walked Dee Dee continued to update her hand made map, making sure to note which direction they took and where their mark where, everything was being done to ensure that they didn't get lose, BombDee always laying down some thread as well as they continued on, When Hikari Attacked a bat Dee Dee looked over and gave her a thumbs up, but then stopped and walked over to the bat and took a look at it "Doesn't seem to be a Boom Bat or a Bubble Bat.. that's good and bad, both types of bats are annoying and hard to deal with sometimes, but then that also means this could be a new type.. it could also be a normal bat but it's quite large" the word bubble expressed before Dee Dee noted it down and made a sketch of it in another notebook, she then got back up and started ot lead them around once more.

The going was slow but sure, Dee Dee mapping and marking, BombDee letting Thread out to lead them back in case, and on occasion Kramer had to deal with a stand alone enemy, mostly large rats snakes and some spiders but mostly more of the bats, nothing to horrible at the moment, and nothing the Dragon couldn't handle with the occasional help of BombDee who left the thread to Dee Dee while they fought, the good news was they rarely popped up in massive numbers, but that also made Dee Dee curious as to why, maybe they had no nests around the immediate area? Coming to a three way split in the path Dee Dee headed down one and they continued on, not actually finding anything barring their way, not even enemies now. "It seems the catacombs are as winding as I read about before the flash" she commented as they hit a dead end, and so she back tracked them to the three way split once more, BombDee reeling back in the thread as they did so.

"I think... the paths that have more enemies might be the ones we want.. it's like they are guarding something" she informed Hikari, All the light they had with them also helped them see that the walls were somewhat changed, they were not stacked to the top with skulls and bones there were some places that they were, but skulls seemed to be not among the bones, and still other places were just brick and mortar, "Also it's clear that the place has a lot less bones and skulls in it.. actually.. I haven't seen a single skull since we entered... maybe this is why the Mission says that's the goal.. the Skulls might be deeper in.. and maybe guarded by the enemies since this is a mission" She concluded through the word bubble as they continued on.

The next few turns also ended in dead ends, leaving only one direction to go but it did mean a LOT of backtracking, but each time they came to a dead end Dee Dee would mark the entrance to that path with a large X made out of light reflective tape so they would know if they came through here in a hurry not to go that way, her practical means seemed to be paying off, and they were ending up with a rather well detailed map as well, but Dee Dee held no illusion that they would map the whole place, after all before the Flash the underground had a lot of entrances and exits, and no doubt this place was the same, it also continued for miles and miles, so it was unlikely they would ever get the whole map of the place alone unless Dee Dee kept coming down here to explore.

Hikari

Dee Dee had continued on, the Bats were a concern, if Hikari was right and they were a different kind to the ones Dee Dee had dealt with before then they would have tricks she wouldn't be used to, it required extra caution, the rats and spiders were not such a worry though, nothing out of the ordinary, as they continued though Dee Dee was keenly aware that at least their back for the most part was safe, well along the path with the dead ends so far, but now they were traveling along a path that didn't seem to end and more splits where going off it, they wouldn't be able to search them all so the only indicator they could use was going deeper in and follow the concentration of enemies.

As they continued on it was good to hear Hikari was okay with going Deeper, they hadn't even found a skull yet and they needed one for the mission to be complete, specifically a "Spooky Skull" which she assumed meant it was a specific kind of item, though as they did continue on Hikari made mention of sensing Danger, This probably came from her being a combat class? Maybe she had an ability that let her do that? Dee Dee didn't sense anything but she was on alert none the less since they were in a danger area, though the smell had hit her nose by this point and she moved forward a bit and looked around the corner.

And there she seen a group of Undead, Zombies and skeletons.. a fairly large group of them her Word Bubble stayed behind her so Hikari could read it "We seem to have found a group of Undead... I count five Zombies with clubs and three Skeletons with Bows.. they haven't heard us yet... but they will be tough to deal with, Undead tend to be stronger then animal like creatures." she stopped peaking around the Corner and looked at Hikari "What level are you anyway? I am currently level twenty three nearly twenty five, oh and answer with a system message so they don't hear us" the word bubble asked silently, as she peaked around the corner again.

BombDee and Kramer meanwhile looked ready clearly they were okay with a battle happening, Jimmy meanwhile was also seemingly ready to have to fight if needed, the reason Dee Dee asked for her Level was because she needed to know about her strength level, and asking for level could give her a general Idea at least. A group like this her and her summons could likely handle but it was also a good Idea that Hikari get some real battle experience since she wasn't sure how much Hikari actually had... then again for all she knew Hikari was level forty.

Hikari

Dee Dee nodded to the information that she seemed to be updating and so she looked back around the corner, it would be easier to fight them drawing them into range of Hikari's blades, so that meant starting out with ranged attacks from around the corner like this so the Skeletons have to move in. So with that in mind the Word Bubble filled in with "Okay I can draw them in, then BombDee, Kramer, and your swords can work them over, try to take out the Skeletons when I draw them over" she nodded as she pulled out a wand, keeping her shield ready as she pointed the wand around the corner and a blast of magic Energy fired off from the wand and hit a Zombie sending the undead stumbling and falling, but it wasn't dead as it climbed back up to it's feet.

The Undead reacted to the attack turning and letting out a moan, the Zombies started to come towards them, but the Skeletons drew their bows and fired arrows at Dee Dee, and she ducked back behind the corner, the Arrows hitting the bricks, and with their target withdrawn the Skeletons started to move up, seemingly not noticing the sword hovering ready to attack them.

"Okay let the Skeletons have it once they are in range the Word bubble informed Hikari As Dee Dee would pop back out around the corner and shot another blast at the Zombies knocking another one over but again not killing it, keeping the pressure so they would come after them, and once more she ducked back behind the corner as the arrows struck the wall again, Meanwhile BombDee and Kramer were ready to race around the corner.

After a few more pokes from Dee Dee the Zombies were on them and BombDee Burst out from around the corner Punching a Zombie and sending it flying with it's Power punch, knocking over a few others as Kramer swatted at another knocking them over, clearly both where aiming to knock them over to clear Hikaris line of site as the Skeletons were also in range of her blades now as well even as they drew their bows and aimed at the two summons, Dee Dee also popping out again and shooting two Zombies knocking them over to keep Hikaris shot clear.

Hikari

The Zombies were starting to get up and Dee Dee looked them over, Fire or Explosions in this area would be a bad Idea, so they only had a few options to deal with them, Thankfully Dee Dee had a great many tools to use in a situation like this and so she put her wand away and took out a Sickle, and she raced forward, BombDee and Kramer charging with her, Dee Dee quickly aimed for the neck of one of the Zombies the Sickle cutting through the neck and decapitating the Zombie, but another one came up behind Dee Dee and brought it's heavy club down, the small girl raised her shield and deflected the blow While BombDee used a power punch to hit it in the gut and send it flying backwards where it would lay defeated.

Kramer meanwhile swatted at another not managing to knock it down but Dee Dee covered for him by throwing a Sunflower petal shaped dagger at the head of the Zombie where it sunk in deep and the Zombie fell over laying defeated, and Dee Dee suddenly started to glow, she did a quick spin and swapped out her Sickle and instead threw a ball of energy from her hand at another zombie destroying that one as well, and Dee Dee realized she had not only leveled up but aquired the chance to get a sub-class so she rolled out of range of the two Zombies that remained, BombDee and Kramer following after her, and she hit the accept button on the one that she liked best as her new stat points were distributed. The path was clear for Hikari to take out the remaining skeleton.

"Clear them out if you can handle all three" the word bubble next to Dee Dees head informed Hikari as she readied to intercept, though she did need to dodge to the side to avoid an arrow from the last remaining Skeleton as it seemed the remaining undead wanted to deal with her.

Hikari

With the last of the Undead dealt with Dee Dee nodded to Hikari and gave her a thumbs up, still no skulls yet though, so they would have to go deeper, BUT at least she gained a level and a sub-class now, and so with the respite she looked it over, she then heard BombDee's tummy grumble and then Kramers, then Jimmy's then she looked to Hikari expecting her tummy to grumble for food next, before her own stomach grumbled loudly and she blushed a bit "Welp time to eat I think, and I need to read my new Sub-class I just got too!" she informed Hikari with the help of her Word Bubble. With that she took out some premade sandwiches, that she had stored in her inventory and she handed them out to her friends, she even had an extra one for Hikari already made, it had a lot of meat, veggies, a classic sub really, and she took out a metal folding chair and had a seat as well as put down a large picnic blanket, after having taken a few steps away from the undead of course, so they could have a meal, they knew they were safe for the moment after all.

Her Friends were digging into the food rather happily, Dee Dee herself was enjoying the food as well as she looked over to Hikari "We will have to go deeper, and with undead popping up I think we will run into something a bit more nasty deeper in.. I hope your ready for that, the good news is we are together and so there is a lot of us, and more good news I leveled up so I am stronger and I have my Sub-class now.. which I have to read up on, but other then that we are stronger then when we first walked in!" the word bubble Informed Hikari as Dee Dee took out a canteen she had scavenged from an old Military surplus store in what was once the united states and took a drink of the water, taking a second out for Hikari and a third one for her Friends to share.

"for Refrence my Current stats are all at forty Five so We should be fairly secure down here no matter what we fight, I also have quite a lot of Items that can boost me in various ways, so we should be mostly fine for anything down here, and I assume you have decent combat stats, oh right did the system finally update for you?" she asked through the Word bubble as she took another bite out of her sandwich.
