The next ray leads to grassy plains like area filled with flowers and dragons along with a few roaming monochrome beasts (what they call cows). They continue forth being pestered by a dragon or two along the way when suddenly something grabs Aleind's shoulder.
"Huh" he grunts shaking it off, he then turns and slashes his sword at it slicing at the creatures stomach. The creature looks meshed together it's head is deformed and mangled, having bolts sticking out of it and a deformed circular mouth .It's hands are claw like with 3 thumbs and it's chest is covered in tan robes. As the creature tumbles back it's head starts conducting electricity and then…BOOM it explodes, luckily for Aleind and Reion it explodes away from them. They decide to investigate the remains and find a bit of its flesh. It's been branded with the words. "Depraved!" Aliend and Reion then head off.

After some time Aleind and Reion find themselves at another burnt village called Asier. It's burn and abandoned, with dead and burnt corpses littering the ground, leaving Aleind and Reion in clear distress . As they follow the ray of darkness it seems to head straight into the ground. With no way into it. "Strange!" Aleind says as he examines the ground. They decide the best course of action is to investigate around the village, and as they begin to investigate a soft yet hard voice echoes through the village. "HELLO!" The sift yet hard voice shouts, it sounds like it's in distress yet off weirdly. Aleind and Reion go to carefully investigate. As they walk to the voice they see the back of a man with weird blue armor on with black armored pants. Yet the armor doesn't look like armor it looks skin tight,yet it's clearly metal, the man themselves seems to have brown hair. And their left hand has a weird metallic armored glove on as their right hand angles towards his chest making it impossible to see as of current.
"ANYONE!" the man yells. Aleind decides to confront them. "Were here!" He says stepping towards them. The man then turns his head revealing a very bright blue eye and a bit of light skin but then he turns more revealing, that besides the eye and skin around it the rest of its body is robotic. The other eye is round and glows a bright red. It's mouth moves humanoid like But Is made of metal, the right hand is not a hand but instead a Canon. The chest has a power core and a couple of gears pointing out. It's clear that this guy is not a man but an android. Now though you may be shocked, androids and robots are not uncommon in the dark occult world in fact they are quite common in fact, so Aleind greets him Normally. "My name is Aleind and this is Reion ! Who would you be?"
He turns and looks at them "my name is unit 11037 but please NY creator always called me Neol" the robot says in a robotic tone. "Nice to meet you Neol! I'm assuming this village is your home?" Aleind asks "yes or was. The dark occult attacked not to long ago and I was forced into hiding..I don't know if anyone made it.." Neol says sadly "I'm assuming your not from this village so what are you two doing here?" Neol asks. Aleind and Reion then proceed to explain. "Interesting so thats what those dark beams mean" Neol then walks to the dark beam leading into the ground.
"Hmmm I would love to say I know what's exactly going on…but I don't. It may something to do with those switches that surround the town?" Neol says. "Switches that surround the town?" Reion asks. "I remember on days I would wander around the outskirts of the town and I always saw a couple gold levers! I've never pulled them but I wouldn't be surprised if it did something." Neol says,
The team then follow Neol to a little clearing just outside of town, and like Neol said their is in fact a golden lever. But what Neol forgot to mention is that the tip seems to be shaped like a dragon head.
They pull the lever and hear a click and the faint sound of gears churning. "How many levers are there?" Aleind asks Neol. "Two more!" He says. And with that they start heading to the second lever.
As the crew head to the next lever a group of Five Depraved appears. They all ready themselves for battle. Aleind slashes at one damaging it and Reion quickly shoots 2 however after hitting them they immediately go into self destruct mode. Neol then aims his arm cannon at them and fires a couple shots if laser at them, piercing their skin destroying any self-destruct functions. The two unharmed Depraved both come from behind Aleind and Reion, and Grab the two if them from behind. Aleind and

Reion quickly push them off and spin them to the front of them allowing Aleind to quickly slashed both of them. All the Depraved are now grouped up, suddenly Neol's left eye (the one that isn't human looking) glows a bright red, and fires a giant laser and then *VWOOSH* it goes disintegrating them in seconds. But leaving Neol more tired than usual. "TAKE THAT YOU FUCKS!" Neol shouts his voice being less soft and more rough and redneck like. He then turns to Aleind and Reion "oh sorry about that!" He says smiling.
The crew doesn't question it and keeps moving towards the next levers. Despite some minor encounters on the way they get to the next one and pull it, they then head to the final one, and pull it as well. They then head back to where the dark beam was, and the ground it was head into, but as you'd expect the ground is gone.
"Illusionary ground?" Aleind says looking bellow. "Ah the main thing responsible for widespread paranoia" Neol Adds, as they descend.
The crew enters the temple. Unlike the last one, it's one big room With carvings on the walls. But like the last one its hard to see as a dark fog engulfs the room. In the center room the room is a ink black armored being with 2 glowing white eyes. It carried a black curved sword and has dark energy coming out of its back. It's armor is beatle like with two horns on its helm.
The creature tilts its head at The crew, its eyes glowing an even brighter light. "SHAAAAAA" it screeched, sounding like a broken camera Snapping A photo. It then swiftly rushes at Aleind and swings its sword down. Aleind defends with his sword holding the creature back. *CHV* the sound of the swords clashing echoes through the room for a mere second as the creature pushes in. But as quickly as it starts it stops as the creature jumps backward tot he other side of the room.
"Ah so it's acrobatic!" Reion says pulling her gun out and aiming at the creature. *BANG BANG* the gun goes as two bullets fly to the creature as it lands. The creature of course sees the bullets and slices them down before they hit. "Reion do that again!" Neol says as he starts heading to the enemy. *BANG BANG* Reion goes and the same thing happens however, this time, Neol is behind the enemy and his arm cannon glows a bright red. The creature turns around and sees that the light is getting brighter. Neol's arm Cannon then seems to shift and light up allowing for the energy to shoot backwards onto the Canon itself, it then seems to be stopped by something engulfing the Canon. Neol then punches the creature square in the face with the laser enchanted arm Cannon. *BANG SWOOSH!* the sound echoes as the laser engulfing the Canon dissipates from the cannon and onto the creature, launching it backwards into a wall, damaging it and the wall greatly.
"TAKE THAT YOU FUCKING FUCKER OF ALL FUCKS!" Neol shouts as his soft voice leaves again for a raspy and rough voice, as The creature slowly gets up. He then fires a few laser shots at the enemy, but the enemy is already up and though still weary it slashes the laser bolts cutting them in half and flying into the ground beside it. *SHFAAFAFAFAFFS" it screeches sounding like loud static.
It then rushes at Neol swinging his blade upwards! *SLASH* the blade cuts Leon's chest deeply. luckily not affecting anything to much But instead sending leon flying to the ground behind it. Aleind however was rushing towards the creature and was now beside it. He then quickly swings his sword at the creature, however rather creature counters it with his sword *CWSHING* the sound echoes
as the blades collide. Aleind then quickly takes his blade off and swings below the creature, but the creature responds again with another block. *CWSHING* again.
Aleind then stares at the creature and moves to try and strike again.
But like usual *CWSHING* so he does it again but *CWISHING* and then *CWISHING* CWISHING CWISHING CWISHING CWISHING CWISHING*
Over and over again until Aleind SLICES! The creature's side left a very deep wound. Reion then from afar with her visor on aims her gun at the creatures head *BANG* She goes piercing the creature's head. Leaving it off balance. Neol now looks up at the creature. His red circular left eye glowing. "TAKE THIS YOU FUKCER!" He screams in his raspy voice as Aleind gets out if the way. *VWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH" the enormous laser goes as it disintegrates the creature.
The dark fog then clears and the dark energy that was headed into this dungeon is now gone. The crew than leave the dungeon. This time their is no encounter with Ghirahim. "So Neol you're pretty powerful you know! Why don't you join us!" Aleind asks as they leave. "Sure I don't see why not! Leon says in his kind and soft voice, the crew then head off following the next ray of darkness.
