author's note: sorry guys
" Let's play. " the young girl said excitedly infront of the ferocious beast infront of her, with it's tail wagging and fangs dripping with saliva and staring at the figure of it's prey.
The dark werewolf began to ready itself to charge at the sumptuous meal when suddenly, the whole area... no... the entire Labyrinth itself began to tremble and the sounds of rocks falling are echoing at the distance.
" What the!? whats happening??? " Aria questioned herself, as if not sure what the cause of the earthquake is or where it was coming from.
"Waaa!!! Oh my... Shit ugh. " Everyone was struggling and being left off balance because of the constant shaking of the ground.
" Aria!!! " Kim sensed that something was a miss and began to call out to the white haired girl from a distance.
Without a warning whatsoever, a familiar voice was heard throughout the entire area.
* tring! *
[Notice!]
[Voice command acknowledged.] "
" Huh!? " Aria was a bit suprised with what she heard, and stood like a statue while staring blankly into empty space.
[Initiating Combat Sequence...] "
" Why? what's going on??? " Aria held her breath and looked straight towards the girl named Fuuka and saw the blue haired beauty, albeit a few dirt and scratches on her body, slightly glance at Aria's direction, as if feeling the questioning stare upon her, before giving a playful smirk and a seductive wink.
[Activating Transdimentional Gate.] "
A white light began to rise from the ground, just a few meters from where Fuuka was currently standing. At first it was but a small orb, slowly but steadily growing in size before starting to form a humanoid figure when it reached the height of the blue haired girl.
Feet, arms, torso, chest, head, hands, and feet even the swaying of what seemed to be its hair could be clearly seen despite the light coming from it. Everyone from the distance could tell that this wasn't part of Aria's grand scheme of earning money, so they began to run towards her, especially Kim when she felt the sudden change that occurred almost immediately.
" Aria!!! " Kim yelled once more at the top of her lungs trying to get the attention of Aria who was at that moment, not budging from where she stood. " Get away!!! Run you idiot!!!
" Huh?.... Kim???....wha-.... " before Aria could finish gathering her wits, the glowing figure raised it's right hand and arm towards the ceiling of the labyrinth.
[hehehe... who would've thought that I'd run into you a lot sooner that I had calculated.] Ai~chan
" fill me in on all the details later, for now, let me have a minute to teach this lower lifeform what happens to those who bite off more than they could chew. " Fuuka quickly replied with a hint of malice.
[You do realize that your current power level isn't enough to beat this guy... correct?] Ai~chan
" There won't be any problems with regards to that, as you can see, the vessel is right there so I can quickly gain what I have lost during the time that I was out of commission. " Fuuka
[ I see, well then, lets get this over with. ] Ai~chan
The glowing figure quickly lowered it's hand to the ground and complete darkness immediately appeared from the area above them before it completely covered everything and everyone.

Outside the Labyrinth, a lone figure of an old man with white hair and a thick beard was watching the sky above when it all happened, his name was Wilhem Edgemont Efermeth Dethrich. The man who sculpted the two giant figures infront of the Labyrinth entrance, a strong warrior in his younger days but as he grew older he picked up the chisel in place of his sword when he came upon a powerful dungeon which he did not have the needed strength to clear despite the numerous comrades that died trying to help him.

In honor of those who perished, he created two Pantheons that guarded the area to serve as a warning to those who ever came upon it.
Seeing the clouds part and a humongous cube of light appear and descend downwards, his curiousity was once again piqued.... but today its different, he waited calmly for the light to appear once more but what came wasn't what he was expecting.
Waiting patiently for months the miracle happened, or was this a curse... a foreboding... a warning?... no... then what is this? the old sculptor/warrior quietly thought to himself as he beheld the sky.
It was the middle of the day, the sun was supposed to be in its highest during this time but everything was dark, a gigantic sphere was floating in the sky as if sucking up all light in the area around it.
" This is bad, a lot of people will surely die... but it's a risk I'm willing to take. " he smiled and the sphere of darkness fell towards the ground... darkness felt like a cold bucket of water was splashed all over him, then the man started to laugh menacingly
" Ahahahahaha!!! "
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
when the darkness receded, they were no longer in the same place that they stood just a few moments ago, and in the distance a dark feral creature was speeding towards the blue haired girl wielding a huge lance and the white haired girl who lay just beside her.
" Grrr! Graahhh! " the werewolf was heading towards them in an unbelievable pace unlike any other. running on two of its legs and preparing its claws to lash out on its prey, with blood shot eyes that seemed to glow in bright golden light.
in the instance that the beast's claw was about to hit her, the girl curled up the corners of her lips to form a smile so cold it was like made of ice. She prepared to block it using her frail looking shoulders, lifting her oversized weapon to intercept the monsterous claws.
Fuuka: " [ impenetrable fortress ]
with this few words, the weapon in her hand began to glow a faint red as the claws of the werewolf hit the side of her weapon, serving as a protective shield against her enemies' attack!
the beast was thoroughly surprised by what happened as it put all of its strength towards it, aiming to finish her in one hit but the results were unexpected.
seeing this, the werewolf still focused itself and prepared for another strike, noticing that the girl's standing form was full of openings. using its left claw, it delivered another attack towards the young girls body!
Fuuka: " Useless... " the girl mocked the beast's attempt and merely activated another form of skill or martial art.
" [ Flow Acceleration! ]
the girl jumped up while gracefuly twisting her body, and easily evaded the attack towards her.
Kim: " Impossible! " unable to believe the previously low levelled and still low level blue haired girl actually managed to do the something that was beyond the abillity of the girl named Fuuka, Kim was staring at the scene that happened within a second and felt chills run down her spine.
She wanted to go and run towards Aria and take her away as far as possible but she was unable to move. the reason behind this is because of the glowing entity was keeping her and everyone in place.
feeling the gaze of the entity, Kim can only grit her teeth, gather her strength and wait for an opportunity to present itself.
with a loud banging sound they look towards it and saw the werewolf flying back to the direction where it came from and watched as it tumbled and crashed on the ground and whimpering.
in that same moment, Aria dropped to floor and visibly weakening.
