Scene 1 - Brats!

In another part of the labyrinth, a battle between beasts and man echoed out. Three figures two small and one tall stood fighting against over thirty giant centipedes thrashing about.

Dashing forward holding her silver spear hand the girl priced the exoskeleton of the beast spraying brain matter upon the walls. Afterwards the girl in instinctively fell back with the other small figure.

No sooner then she had left that place five giant centipedes smashed from all directions into her last location.

“Whew”, replied the golden hair boy holding his sword and shield in a defensive stance, “ Be careful sis these things attack in a pack!”

The girl with dark blue hair scuffed while parrying the head of a centipede away, “Of course brother I remember the plan.”

Naturally, these two figures were Sol and Luna and behind them was a mysterious figure cloaked in black and Jade green. His hair a deep black and his eyes blue as ice. Standing in the back line his lips moved slowly as rune symbols appeared around him.

Sol sprinted forward with shield raised bashing a centipede's head away before then following up with a downwards slash chopping off the head sending it flying away in an ark. Sensing danger Sol braced by enlarging his shield in front of himself, soon enough one of the giant centipedes smashed its body into the shield forcing Sol off his feet as his bones creaked from the recoil.

Being sent backward to Luna who caught her brother feeling exhausted the twins felt angry to the point Luna yelled at the black-robed figure, “When is that spell going to be finished, Drake?! These pests are closing in!”

Drake snorted under his breath, eyes narrowed he remained chanting while holding out a hand with three fingers showing meaning thirty seconds. Seeing the amount of time left to be on defense the twins complained.

Getting out of Luna’s hold Sol readied his sword, “If it was Big Sister Rune she would have already been done casting.”

Luna nodded in agreement preparing her charge forward, “Aye and also Big Brother Vince could’ve dealt with them faster you take too long!”

A vein appeared on Drake's head as his eyes narrowed to slits over the twins complaining about how long it took him to cast magic, ‘If I could move right now brats I’d beat your bottoms black and blue! Ugh, why couldn’t I’ve had better pawns to work with when entering this stupid challenge.’

While thinking such thoughts Drake kept his chanting calm and methodic not missing a syllable as more runes gathered around him the once colorless runes began to change to an ice-like sheen.

At this time the giant centipedes weren't waiting around the remaining twenty plus odd creatures crawled left and right along the walls, the floor, and ceiling moving their long armored bodies full of wrath and vengeance for their brethren their pincers snapped fiercely wishing to consume the three puny humans in fount of them.

Holding her spear and shield tightly Luna’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of playfulness, “I’m heading out little brother.”

“Wha--”, Without listening to Sol, Luna dashed forward running along the wall full of fighting spirit, her footprints imprinted along the wall she shrunk her spear to the length of her forearm and her shield shrink covering the top of her wrist.

Laughter rang out not like Luna’s normal voice but of a deep voiced woman, “Hu hu huhu… ha ha HAHAHA Let’s dance!”

Flying along the wall a large crescent tattoo appeared on Luna’s face as her ocean blue eyes now held a line of silver. Bloodlust oozed out of her body as she ran with passion towards the pack of centipedes gripping her spear tightly she increased her speed twofold.

Seeing this scene Drake stood in shock, ‘Weapon possession! That brat his such a powerful spiritual weapon! What rank is it?!?’

“Break!”, Rushing forward full of speed it almost seemed Luna and her spear merged as one as she smashed into a centipedes head. Unexpectedly from Sol and Dreams prospective Luna drilled through the centipede's head making its explode into gore dying herself and the surroundings in gore.

“More… More. MORE. DIE DIE DIEEEEEE!”, The little she-devil screamed stabbing and jumping around almost stopped Sol from moving forward to helping his sister battle these oversized pests.

Carnage ensued as the twins when on a rampage killing the bugs on site, it seemed that the two didn’t even need Drakes spell with Luna currently being possessed by her weapon he almost ended his spell before seeing not too far away from another large pack of centipedes making their way counting over the hundreds. Seconds passed and soon Drake finished his spell to which he could finally yell at the brats, “Fall back! The spell is ready!”

Getting the queue Sol grabbed Luna who was in a blood-soaked frenzy covered in bug juices and ran back to Drake and hid behind him. Given the all clear Drake lined up the runes into a spear-like formation which then took form.

It was a tiny spear emblem that made Sol and Luna tilt their heads, “This is it? This! We might as well have run if this is what you were going to show us.”

Feeling anger raise in his bones Drake snorted, “Watch. Go. >!”

The once pointed spear rune transformed into the head of a dragon then expanded as more runes rushed towards it. To the point, it filled 1/4th of the hallway which then Drake did a hand sign and pushed the head forward, “Form two! Twist!”

The dragon's eyes shined as the floating runes merged with the head forming a strong and large body shooting the head out in blinding speeds opening its icy maw smashing into the army of bugs causing the hall to become a hellish frozen wasteland.

After the spell was completed Drake turned around to face the twins with a big wolfish smile on his expecting them to be awestruck, “Well how’s that!”

Only to be disappointed as the twins shrugged their shoulders Luna replied, “It was only so-so, at least you aren't completely useless.”

The vein returned to Drake's head furry building up within his body grabbing his hair wishing to strangle them, ‘These brats!’
