With their race finished and their Sphinx Statue trophies collected Kurai and Panya decided to take a trip to some old ruins. Why break up such a good pair? Besides Seere figured the woman had more questions brewing in her mind. Her curiosity seemed just as vast as his own. Exploring something old was the perfect chance to answer them all. They'd just finished a race in the desert so why not continue in a similar area? Being the rumormonger that he is Seere managed to catch wind of a newly discovered area while walking around Motor City. To that end, the demon guided the pair to an underground cave in the nearby Badlands. The only thing he knew about their destination was its location. Kurai's mode of transportation this time was the pure black twin of the pegasus that their summon rode. Of course, they offered Panya a ride on either as well. When they arrived they both returned their mounts from whence they came. The site was fairly obvious as the cave mouth stuck out of the ground. Before going in Seere made sure to investigate the entrance. They couldn't see far before the darkness overtook their sight. “Our vision will be restricted when we descend into the ruins. We have torches you may use if you require,” they said to Panya. After which Kurai took a flashlight out of his inventory and offered one to her as well. “We'll go in whenever you're ready.”De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL.

"It feels nice to be back in someplace like this." Panya said happily, practically bouncing around at the prospect of being inside of another underground cavern. There must have been some kind of little discovery in these tunnels, wouldn't there? They couldn't be this empty and dangerous looking without holding something incredibly worth the trouble! Her tanned hands fell around the torch offered to her by Seere, the archeologist nodding with a happy expression. "Thank you. I'll be right behind you!" Despite the woman's abrasion to their previous acts of violence in the race, she was right at home in these dark tunnels. The torch in her hands shined its light around their surroundings. "So what did you hear was down here, Seere?"Panya asked Kurai's summon and their guide on this journey inside of the underground. The air was warmth and moist, with a hint of smoke and other artificial scents, courtesy of being close to Motor City, public enemy number one of the ozone layer. The amount of greenhouse emissions that place could put out in a day would put even the largest of cities to shame. "If it's never been discovered before, certainly there's bound to be some sort of historical find, ready to be brought to benefit the world!" Panya was anything but selfish, but of course, she was expecting Kurai to be 100% on board with the altruism speech and ready to hand over all of their discoveries to people who needed them. "Wait, I think I hear something up ahead. But I can't tell what that is..."kurai

As Kurai and Seere spent more time with Panya her personality became more evident. Despite initially appearing shy if there was something that piqued her interest she had no problem asking questions or being adventurous. She also liked old-fashioned things. Not just because she was an archaeologist. It was the fact she took the torch from the demon instead of the flashlight the young man offered. Not that it was unexpected. “I did not hear much. While I was preparing our vehicle for the race I overheard a few young men talking about the cave. They did not mention what was inside. I hope you are correct and we find a relic.” While their reasoning may be different both Panya and Seere shared an interest in finding treasure. She seemed to want to put it in a museum or use it to benefit others, but the demon simply wanted to know its location and uses. Knowledge is power. Kurai was more focused on the other things they would find down here. Knowing Earth-Chan there was going to be some sort of monster down here with them. Which was most likely whatever was making that noise Panya heard. Good. He spent some time during the trip leveling up and was hoping he'd get the chance to test out his new abilities. “I'll go check it out. Get ready for anything.” Kurai turned to see where she was looking and used his flashlight to shine a bit farther than her torch. He didn't see anything at first, but after taking a few steps something appeared in his line of sight. A small horde of skeletons that were practically already on them! “Nothing can ever be easy, huh? Be careful!”By the time the words left his mouth one of the skeletons was swiping at Kurai. He'd seen them too late to avoid the first attack of the bony creatures. The skeletons were somewhat slow so he jumped back before the others could get hold of him. A blast of dark gray energy shot the one clinging to his shirt. “Damn things! Thanks Seere!” A blast of red energy shot out at the skeleton that stunned it just long enough for him to grab hold of its skull. The skeleton was pretty sturdy however as it continued to move around. He kept hold of the monster while the mark on the back of his hand branded itself into his opponent. The head crumbled away and the rest of the bones grew limp as the skeleton returned to death. “How are you holding up Panya?”De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL.

She was honestly surprised about the origins of where Seere learned about where to find this cave system. Were all those racers actually trying to find whatever kind of treasure as they were, or was it yet another rumor to be used as currency when one had run out of money to buy drinks with? "I would have expected somebody to have been here already, with how many people currently reside inside of Motor City." Panya observed while holding the flame towards the walls as they made their way through the underground tunnels. That noise from before though, it certainly didn't spell out a welcoming committee for everyone. Skeletons would have joined their little expedition as Panya jumped back from the small group. It did make sense for them to be here, and she was thankful that it was those stereotypical skeletons this time, not some more powerful ones. The small cramped space made it hard to offer help, but Kurai made short work of them all. the tanned woman could only watch as Seere and his summoner banished the enemies back into the lifeless unknown. As they looked behind them, Panya would also currently be battling some of the skeletons in the rear. Their attacks launched themselves at her, blocked by the sarcophagus in hand. "This must have been an ambush or something. There's a lot more of them in my way!" She swung her weapon at the ground, sending some back to give them a bit of breathing space. Using this to her advantage, the woman took a step forward and swung the sarcophagus at them, managing to deal some damage to them. Unfortunately, these were the skeletons that weren't exactly known for breaking in one solid blow. They crackled their bones and rattled in displeasure. "H-Hey! You're supposed to be way weaker!" She complained at the skeletons, bringing her weapon up to guard against them once again. kurai

Seere hadn't stopped to think why the passersby knew this information or how they came across it. They were focused on getting the carriage hooked up in a rush so they could make it to the race. “I could not ask as I was preparing the vehicle. Perhaps they found this cave before they went to the race. If we see them again we should ask.” The demon was always on the hunt for more information. Panya did a great job knocking back the remaining three skeletons so they had room to breathe. Her hit also managed to do a decent amount of damage too! Looks like it was up to Kurai and Seere to finish them off. Not that he minded. This is just what he was hoping for after all. He still had plenty of things he wanted to try. Unlike Panya who was panicking slightly at the skeletons surviving her hit he was enjoying it. “Well if they're supposed to be weaker then we just need to get stronger than we're supposed to be! Shit, this is going to hurt...” Kurai let out a loud gasp and doubled over as the pain wracked his body. The demon gave him a knowing smile. This sort of thing was inevitable when dealing with their kind. His eyes sunk into his head until there was nothing but hollow holes in their place. A shiny viscous black ooze poured out of the craters on his face that flowed down Kurai's body. The substance covered his arms and legs leaving his torso untouched except for the pair of bat-like wings that sprouted from their back. Claws grew from each appendage and twisted goat horns from each side of his head. He threw his head up and let out a roar that echoed through the cave. It only took a moment for him to close the gap between him and the closest skeleton. With a swipe of his newly created claws, it's skull flew off its body. Kurai's voice sounded distorted as he spoke. “Not bad. I think I could get used to this. Whoa is that my voice? Sweeeeeet. Next up...” He quickly grabbed his newly acquired whip from his inventory before swinging it at his next target. A loud crack was heard as it struck the skeleton and split its skull in two. Kurai let out a cheer of celebration as most of the horde was demolished. “Damn this is going better than I thought!”While he was celebrating the last skeleton rushed at Panya with its bony arms outstretched. Thankfully Seere was paying attention during the ordeal and shot dark gray energy from their weapon to deter the creature. The blast landed on its side causing it to stumble before a bolt of black energy hit its chest. Somehow despite their best efforts, it remained standing. “Damn. Guess that one is still pretty weak.”De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL. Resistance to Slashing, Piercing, Bludgeoning, and Fire damage.)

"Right, well, easy for you to say. I'm used to skeletons being in a coffin. And not trying to kill me." Panya replied, readying herself for another round with the skeletons. She'd swing her coffin back up to her front facing direction as the skeletons would begin to close in on them again. "Ready to go, boys?" Her answer came in the form on Kurai staggering back and trying to collect itself. At seeing her partner become downed, Panya was quick to rush to his side. "Kurai! Are you alright?"He looked pained. The archeologist raised an arm to wrap around him and start fighting her way out of there before the boy would become surrounded in darkness. His form radiated a black ichor-like magic that caused Panya to stumble back herself. "Whoa!" She'd lean back as Kurai made short work of the small group of skeletons that she was fending off. Panya was ready to smash one into dust before the crack of a whip would break one's head clean off. "Goodness, you're a force to be reckoned with! Good job!" Panya called out to him. She worked on the last skeleton with a sword, clashing against his attacks as her weapon was brought up to meet with his attacks. She had just been pushed back by a shoulder check just in time to be saved by the now demonic looking Kurai. With an approving and grateful nod, Panya stood up and was able to breathe a sight of relief for their handiwork. "Alright, now let's take a look at that golden sarcophagus across from us." She said, pointing her finger towards the ornate resting place of what was likely force that was far greater than any of the undead they had gotten here so far. Panya walked closer, careful to keep an eye out for anything dangerous. If she could get close to the container, she'd slowly begin to pry open the lid to see what was inside. kurai

While Kurai appreciated Panya's concern the pain wracking his body didn't allow for pleasantries. As much as he wanted to push her away he couldn't bring himself to. Until his transformation was finished all he could do was mutter, “I'm fine. Worry about yourself.” Thankfully once the demonic power fully settled into his body Kurai was able to decimate the hoard of skeletons. Well almost. The last enemy that took multiple attacks from the men was still standing somehow. Another shot of dark gray energy from Seere felled the creature for good. “Thanks. Those levels came in handy. I just wish this buff didn't hurt so much to activate. Taking a rank penalty to Vitality is a bitch!”As Panya made her way over to the sarcophagus couldn't help but feel that they weren't done yet. “Alright. Just be careful. Who knows what else this place has in store?” As if he spoke it into existence a large skeletal hand popped out of the container as soon as she opened the lid. It quickly flung the cover across the floor before the enormous skeleton it was attached to stood up from its rest. When it swung its equally large sword at Panya he dashed towards her with his arm outstretched in an attempt to protect the woman. “Get down!” A red pentacle appeared in the air in front of the pair like a shield to block the weapon coming their way. “Lets hope this is the last of them,” he said as he leaped at the enemy. Kurais claws raked across the creature's head leaving gouges in their wake. The same red pentacle that protected them before burned itself over the area he struck doing even more damage to the skeleton. “Damn I kinda like this!”De/buffs: Demonic Tithe (+1 Rank MAG, -1 Rank VIT.

"I'll worry about myself when my friends aren't hurt."Panya replied back, frowning at Kurai as the man had refused her concern away. It was a stark contrast from how pleasant she had been beforehand, now showing a bit of aggression inside of her despite how meek and timid the woman was known for. Despite this, Kurai appeared to not be dying immediately, and she did begrudgingly leave him be and allow the rest of the fight to go by. The archeologist then would scurry up towards the large sarcophagus that was a beautiful resting place for a creature long past, much like the one on top of her back. She grabbed the lid and heaved it off, summoning all of her strength to push the lid off. Ancient dust had been freed, slowly floating into the atmosphere as she coughed and took a peak at what would be inside of this thing. But before that could be done, an arm pushed the lid clean off of the contain, sending Panya back and the lid smashing into the wall. "That's...a big one!" Panya said, bringing her weapon up to defend herself. The larger skeleton, however, would bring its own weapon that was buried with it, a sickly looking scimitar. The skeleton charged all the way at her, only to be interrupted by Kurai's timely intervention. She pushed herself off of the ground and followed up after Kurai's attack. She swung her weapon towards the skeleton's head, sending a crushing blow to its head! kurai

Kurai was surprised to see his companion frown when she'd been nothing but pleasant so far. He felt a twinge of guilt from causing her usual demeanor to shift so suddenly. Not that he would show it aside from a slight furrowing of his brows and the frown on his face. He wasn't used to such genuine concern for his well-being from anyone besides his sister. “I wouldn't have done it if I didn't think I could handle it.”Thankfully the battle was going well despite the awkwardness between the two. Panya landed a massive blow to the large skeleton's head sending it reeling back. While it fell Kurai remained in the air with his glistening gooey wings flapping and sending the ooze splattering across the ground. With it in a prone position, he lashed out with his whip once more. The crack of the whip was accompanied by a blast of black energy emanating from the tip when it struck the creature's head. Things were going well, but it didn't remain that way for long as the boss suddenly swung its weapon at Kurai. The large scimitar slashed into his side sending him flying across the cave. Luckily it didn't do much damage due to the items he was wearing, but it did shred his Cloak and leave him sore all over. Seere sighed and aimed a blast of dark gray energy at the skeleton as it stood up. Although it connected it didn't seem to do much damage. “You should not be so overconfident, Summoner.”Kurai groaned in response as he regained his footing. “Yeah yeah I get it. Now let's finish off this damn thing already!” He flew through the air at the skeleton once more with a claw outstretched. His sharp nails slashed across the creature's ribs cracking off a few of them before another pentacle branded itself onto one of them. De/buffs: Demonic Tithe (+1 Rank MAG, -1 Rank VIT.

She had banged the skeleton up a good bit, although probably not as much damage as Kurai could do easily in his new form. She grew curious about asking where he had learned something so devilish, but the current happenings made it hard for her to really focus on anything but this boss skeleton in front of them. "Just be careful."Kurai had made short work of the monstrous skeleton in front of them, with his newfound claws and pentacle searing themselves into its bones. Panya followed through with bashing the skeleton with the butt of her sarcophagus, sending it reeling back once more. It was standing on its last leg, thoroughly damaged by the actions performed against it as the archeologist charged forward with her weapon in hand. Panya pinned the skeleton against the wall as it swung its weapon around, attempting to skewer her before she could finish it off. TO his credit, it managed to land a slash at her arm, causing her to reel backwards with a pained yelp. The sudden adrenaline had made her slam her bring her foot up and kick her sarcophagus against the skeleton and wall, causing several bones to crack and break off as its mass crumble to the floor. To make sure that this wouldn't be getting up, Panya slammed her weapon on the ground, crushing the bones again, then again, until she was fully tired out. "Ha...Ha...I think we're good."She said while trying to catch her breath, finally able to feel the dull sting of the sword's attack on her arm. Blood had spilled out, but thankfully wasn't too deep of a cut. kurai

Kurai was amazed at the brutality of his companion's attack. He and Seere simply watched wide-eyed as Panya decimated the enormous skeleton with her sarcophagus. How ironic that their enemy would be destroyed by the very thing that it crawled out of. Even though he was fairly confident in his defenses getting hit by her weapon looked like it would hurt. “Wow uh... Good job. Let's see what we can find and get out of here before something else shows up.”As he began to look around the pain he felt before wracked his body once more causing him to double over. The ooze coating his body quickly began crawling over his body and flowing down his throat. At least his eyes returned from wherever they disappeared to when he activated his ability. Kurai lay down on the ground and panted heavily. “Alright. Maybe it'll just be you and Seere looking around.”The demon searched the cave at the behest of their summoner. “Panya you did well. Perhaps begin with the resting place of that giant. It must have been guarding a treasure of some sort.”De/buffs: Utopia Bandanna (+20% VIT and WIL.

"Heh, thank you! I'm starting to like this whole "crush your enemies thing" that you adventurers do."Panya said to the two, recalling her weapon as it evaporated back inside of her inventory. She looked at the arm injury and huffed to herself. This would take a little while before she could find a medic or a place to get this looked at. The archeologist would just have to make due then. She looked over at Kurai as he went about recovering from...whatever had happened to him. She knew he was going to scold her for worrying about him, but she couldn't help it. She was human, after all. "Rest for a moment, Kurai. Even the best of us need to recuperate."Seere thankfully would be present to offer his knowledge about where they may have been able to find treasure or valuables here, and it did make sense in a way. Usually bosses and strong monsters kept the best stuff for themselves. Panya wandered over to the sarcophagus where the larger skeleton had once resided before sticking her hand inside and fishing around for something. Soon enough, her hands grazed against a paper of some kind. She pulled it up and would reveal the item to be a bundled scroll of some kind. "Aha!" Panya said, slowly undoing the seal as she could have jumped in glee. "Now let's see what you were hiding then. It could be the deed to a manor, or some hidden piece of history forgotten by modern day."Her eyes scanned over the writing inside before her expression faltered. "The recipient of this and their party is hereby entitled to a second roll for the Halloween Event...Ugh, Earth-chan!" The woman groaned, throwing the the scroll to Seere and huffing. She crossed her arms in a frustrated pout, pacing in the room as she'd eventually just sat down beside Kurai and pinch the bridge of her nose. kurai
