The Soul Labyrinth

"Again, not actually my name, but we'll roll with it," Tolkalee lifted his chin to look Nolan in the eye. "Plus you aren't going to kill me," he used the skeletons to his advantage lifting both feet off the ground and kicking Nolan in the chest as hard as he could sending him across the hall.

Nolan did get send across the hall, but he walked back to Tolkalee almost unharmed. “Well…your name isn’t important to me anyways…” the hands pulled on Tolkalee, attempting to rip his arms off. A figure can be seen jumping from behind Tolkalee and slashed down on Nolan with his white blade while tossing his black blade to the hands. Nolan got a cut down his chest. “How?!” he exclaimed before retreating and the skeleton hands disappeared. The figure in front of Tolkalee coughed out blood and turned back to him. “Sorry…I slept for a little too long…” he smiled to Tolkalee with blood dripping from his mouth, neck and chest.

(You already know who it is~)

Tolkalee smiled and pulled his dagger out of his shoulder. "No, you're fine," he looked at where Nolan disappeared. "You arrived just in time," he looked back at the figure. "At least you're not dead, Aisen."

(Ooooooh yeah I know who it is!!!!)

Aisen laughed slightly. “Yeah…not yet at least. It’s not everyday that my White Duality Zone works. If it didn’t when Nolan stabbed me, I’d be a dead man…as if I’m not already one now” he walked up to Desmond. “I think we might need to find Cassius real quick…”

Zeros slowly stood up with holes through his chest and blood dripping. Aisen turned to him. “A little hard dealing with Nolan eh?” He asked Zeros to which the answer was a nod. Zeros turned to Tolkalee and bowed stating a Thank you before he walked away. Aisen sighed while looking at Zeros. “He’s actually a very nice and pleasant guy despite his hideous looks” Aisen giggled. “So, what’s the plan?”

"Plan number one, we get ourselves patched up here. Plan number two, we go find Cassius and get healed the rest of the way. Plan number three, we finish what we came here to do," Tolkalee decided pulling several things from his satchel.

Aisen raised a brow. “In plan number three. By we, you mean yourself and Hinata correct?” He asked as he sheathed his blades.

"No I mean we need to find Chris and Matthew," Tolkalee explained.

Aisen was even more confused when Tolkalee said that. “What happened to them?” He looked around after he asked.

"Apparently both were grabbed by the gunman," he replied. Then he moved next to Desmond on his knees and began patching him up some.

“Well then, the same situation happened to me” Aisen claimed. He saw something on the ground which stood out. He walked towards it and picked it up. “Hey Tolkalee, you told me you and Oliver didn’t get along right?” He asked, looking at the item.

Tolkalee glanced up from what he was doing. "The first thing out of his mouth was a threat, so no, we didn't get along very well. Why?"

Aisen turned to show Tolkalee an ability artifact he just picked up. The artifact had a text that read Nightmare’s Tune. “This is Oliver’s…”

"Oh boy…" Tolkalee looked at it. "That means his even less friendly version is running around."

“Yeah…I forgot about that part” Aisen kept the artifact in his coat. He glanced over Desmond’s broken left wing. “We might need to hurry up, Desmond can’t stay like that for long” he walked over to Tolkalee.

Tolkalee nodded in agreement. "I'll need you'r help to set it in place and put a make shift splint on it. I have limited supplies, and I have already used lots of them." The little sound of a liquid dripping on the ground could be heard. It was blood. Coming from his injuries, Aisen's injuries, and Desmond's injuries. They would need some serious patch work, and very soon.

Aisen looked around. “The halls here are much bigger than you might expect…seeing as you came here alone, it’s hard to locate the others…” he turned to Desmond. He raised his hand towards Desmond to teleport him back to the Research Building in Chris’ room. “That’ll help him for now, that room helps with self regeneration so we’ll have some more time to spare…for now, finding the others are our main priority” he started to walk deeper into the hall.

Tolkalee stood up and wobbled slightly on his feet. He'd lost quite a bit of blood, and he would need to help Aisen as well. "At least let me pack that wound in your chest before we keep going. I don't want you dying from blood loss."

Aisen’s left eye flashed a white light as some bones bit cover the wound. “I have my own regeneration system, take your time to heal yourself first. I don’t want you dying from blood lost” he had a friendly tone in the last bit.

Tolkalee smiled. "Eh, I'll be fine for a few hours. This is not my first rodeo and I can say for sure it won't be my last." He began following Aisen down the hall.

As they walked down the hall, Aisen brought up something.
“I remember one of the 3rd generation of Knights saying that some of the rooms in this building held dark secrets of the Labyrinth. Maybe we can find some of them on our way, or do you want to focus on finding the others?”

(Choice : Focus on main mission OR Look around the halls [Increase risk of some characters dying])
{This just turned into a game of choice…}

(How dare you do this to me)

Tolkalee thought for a moment. "I say we mostly continue on trying to find the others, but if we come across somewhere I have nothing against exploring it."

(Also you're talking to the master of loop holes)

Aisen nodded. Walking further into the hall, some lanterns were present. All the doors looked the same as Aisen looked left and right, scanning every room’s interior.

Two figures walked towards them…the two figures were Cronos and Sam. “Oh great, you’re both still alive” Sam exclaimed seeing Tolkalee and Aisen.

"Not dead, if that's what you mean," Tolkalee mumbled. His mind flashed back to what the spider dude had said. He found it hard to hide his mistrust, but he managed to keep it hidden.

“Yeah…” Sam sighed as he said that. “By the way, did you guys find anything interesting?” Sam asked Tolkalee specifically.

Tolkalee shrugged. "Something about Matthew and Cassius going to hell but nothing really interesting," he replied. "Other than that we ran into Sans, but he retreated as soon as Aisen stepped in."

(Megalovania Intensifies)

Cronos turned to Sam, he knew something about him. “So uh, Sam, you wanna just…you know…go different ways? Just because…uh…we can search the halls easier if we parted ways…” he claimed.

Sam turned to him. “Sure?” He replied. “Well, since we don’t have much time to waste, I’ll go on ahead” Sam said to the group before running towards the dark halls.

Cronos sighed after Sam left. “You don’t when he’s going to attempt his Paladin’s Mission, it’s better to keep him away from you” he said to Tolkalee.

(It was coming the moment you said that he used bones.)

(I’d figure…)
