Adventure!!

"There has to be a way out of this trash dump....somehow." Leon podered as he wandered through the corridors. "Maybe there's a key or something...hmm...."

Entering a new zone, he realized it was a massive room filled with water. It was blood-red water. He didn't like the looks of that...

Blood-red water? This can mean only one thing...

He heard a howling-like voice above him-and realized there were crawling-humanoid like creatures that had sensed his presence...

There was no longer the sound of the Phantom rolling around, but now it's footsteps.

Squirrel sighed with a bit of relief. "I wish I hadn't decided to ditch that other Phantom's sword..." She muttered under her breath as she waited for the Phantom to advance.

The Phantom turned the corner, and Squirrel attacked. Paralyzing the Phantom, she grabbed it's sword and raced for the barred stairs again.

This time she sliced a small opening in the bars, dropped the sword, and escaped.

"Freedom!" She sighed. Then she realized what the lever she pulled before had done. It opened up a whole near door, that, thankfully, wasn't heading down.

"Here we go..." She sighed, and entered. What other choice did she have, either way?

Xane finally caught up to Leon in front of the blood red water.  "Woah.  What happened here?"

Gunning down the last crawling thing with his rifle, Leon turned to Xane. "This place looks like some freakish mutant race's crib, that's what it seems. There's no way out of here, and I for sure hell don't want to dive in that crap." He referred to the blood-red water.

"Well I have an idea."  Xane parted the red waters with an energy burst and then held it in place.  Lol I just realized that this is very religious. :P He started walking across.  "I think I can hold it..."

As son as Squirrel entered, the door slammed behind her.

"Guess there's no turning back..." She muttered under her breath. The room was well lit with torches and such, so she figured she was in luck.

Coming to the center of the room, she seemed to have triggered a trap. A creature with a snake-headed whip came out of nowhere, and attempted to attack Squirrel.

She jumped up with lightning fast reflexes to dodge the attack, and spun around in the air, driving her Keyblade down it's back as she landed.

"Who fights with a whip? I mean seriously?!"

"I'll give it a shot. Just hope I don't drown in that mess of gibs." Leon muttered as he crossed the red liquid. "Something doesn't seem right..."

To his left, bubbles began to appear from below the liquid, meaning something was coming up. Squinting through the fluid, he realized it was something with a pair of crimson-red eyes.

Boss battle time... He hefted his M16.

Suddenly, a blood-soaked wasp of massive porportions exploded from the fluid, its wings beating at a tone that could deafen a normal human. Hissing its bloodthristy fangs, it glared at the soldier.

Upon defeating the creature, a treasure chest appeared in the center of the room. Walking over and opening it, Squirrel discovered a whip.

"Uh... I guess I should be excited." She muttered sarcastically, then noticed the gap on the other side of the room. "Hm, this could actually be useful." Polls were sticking out of the nothingness, with a hook that Squirrel's new whip could latch onto.

Why not give it a try? I've got nothing better to do, even if I fall into that bottomless pit of death. She thought as she readied herself. Using the whip to cross from poll to poll, she eventually got to the other side. After walking through the corridor, she entered through a side-entrance of a room with blood-red water, and a wasp creature.

Hey...there's Leon and Xane. She thought, spotting her teammates on a platform near what she figured was the actual entrance to the room.

"Hey guys! What'd I miss?" She used the new whip to cross the water, and land on the same platform as her teammates.

Leon was so concentrated on killing the wasp-the bullets, of course didn't seem to have any effect on the mutant insect. He couldn't risk wasting bullets-ammunition would be very hard to find in this weird world anyways...if there were any.

The wasp dived towards him, with its killer stinger aimed right at the soldier. There was nowhere to run-it was either dive into the pool of blood, or die a painful death to this monster's venom!
