Before Draca could push another button, a peculiar banging sound resounded through the tunnel. The noise first sounded from behind the locked door, then echoed. It sounded like something was hitting the door. 


"How would I know?" Scott responded while elbowing Draca. "Hurry and push the button. I don't want whatever is in there to burst through the door and kill us." 


Draca hurriedly pressed down on a button, the clanking and scraping of stone moving towards them as the room opened up. It was all the same as the three rushed into the room. 


The banging on the door wasn't stopping but the door wasn't being broken, so Scott decided they were safe for the moment. "Should we look for a key?" 


"Well, the trial isn't over yet. Whatever is in there may be the final test." 


"What kind of test is this?" Scott mumbled but he still began his search through the room.
