Return to the dungeon .

We left for the dungeon while still heated negotiations were continued with the family head and Nora . We ran for 1 hr with Hermes boots and finally reached the dungeon . There were signs of intense battle near the dungeon broken peuces of wood , metal , weapons . On the hill a perfectly placed pillar. That might be us .

Near the dungeon entrance it was taken hold of by the Azuma clan soldiers guarding the entrance .

When we arrived at the entrance they blocked us .

Guard :

Halt ! this dungeon is off limits to everybody .

Then another guard came and whispered in his ear .

Guard :

You may go .

He opened the entrance of the dungeon . We went inside and saw the dead demons their body only their skeletons remained , but the stench of blood remained since it was an enclosed space .

We dived deeper in the dungeon everything was disabled from when we first arrived broken metal knights broken doors . The tablet which inscriptef the 12 gods and the group of 3 was still intact and in a great condition . So we never faced any challenge . when we arrived at the same metal door .

A scanner scanned us . And the door once again opened leading to the inside . The same interior the same exterior . Neatly maintained bunker .

But I think there's something missing ?

Something that should be here . The library , the hidden wall where there was a message . Though what was the message ?

I checked the area again and there wasn't anything.

We checked around the entire bunker but there was something missing .

? :

Good morning Master Jay and Master McElroy.

It's good to see you back here again .

We turned back to see a robot welcoming us . But I don't remember ever seeing her . Maybe she is a missing link in the memories .

Jay :

Who are you ?

Mariel :

Oh you must have forgotten about me . Let me introduce myself once again . My name is

Mariel-007 I am a robot specifically designed for the maintainence of the bunker .

Mariel :

You were my previous guest in this bunker . And I sincerely thank you for carrying out my request.

McElroy:

Which request ?

Mariel :

You must have forgotten let me remind you once more .

Mariel :

I had requested to see the state of the new world since I cannot leave the bunker . I have given you a pendant so that I could analyse the layout of the lands . And collect various geological , social ,political , biological , meterological data with the took that I had provided .

Jay :

Mariel how long were we together .

Mariel :

I find this question strange . Are you suffering from a memory loss . Scanning brain structure.

Jay :

Hey what are you doing !!

Mariel : Please stop moving I'm scanning you .

Mariel :

I'm finished scanning . You're memories been supressed . Caution advised . Combat mode enabled .

Threat level 1 recognised .

She transformed into a weapon of mass destruction her body transformed into a war machines fitted with 59 different weapons of mass destruction. Her human like structure changed . Into a black cruel dystopian mutated robot .

Mariel :

I advise you to surrender . Lay down your weapons and kneel on the ground or I will open fire.

Jay :

Okay okay .

We threw out weapons and knelt down with hand behind our head .

Mariel :

Carrying out a peaceful execution.

Jay : (inner thought)

Think something quick Jay , quick what should I do , anything I do I will be In the crossfire range .

I might not be able to delay because this is an enclosed space we might get crushed .

Melting the droid is not possible.

Raising a wall of metal might get us crushed .

THINK JAY THINK .

McElroy:

Mariel before I die answer my question.

Mariel :

Last wish function enabled .

Speak your question McElroy.

McElroy:

Your function is to assist humans correct . So how will killing us will assist us in any way .

Mariel :

Processing the statement . Order is to kill , but go against my programming to assist . Order to kill but goes against programming , order to kill , but goes against programming Order is to kill , but go against my programming . Order to kill but goes against programming , order to kill , but goes against programming Order is to kill , but go against my programming . Order to kill but goes against programming , order to kill , but goes against programming . Order is to kill , but go against my programming to assist . Order to kill but goes against programming , order to kill , but goes against programming Order is to kill , but go against my programming . Order to kill but goes against programming , order to kill , but goes against programming Order is to kill , but go against my programming . Order to kill but goes against programming , order to kill , but goes against programming .

Further processing might damage the processing unit .

KILL ORDER ABORTED .

Resuming functions as normal .

The pitch black war machines turned to normal .

And once again turned to Mariel .

Mariel :

I apologise for you had to see such a horrifying sight .

Both of us were scarred for life . Our faces when staring down death never changed but when something scary of this level comes we were shit scared .

Even to the point McElroy's voice started cracking .

Mariel :

Your face looks pale , your heart beat has spiked at 160/120 mmhg . An emotional imbalance has been detected . I recommend that you take some rest . I will prepare the facilities right away .

Mariel came with two cups of tea . The aroma of the tea was very soothing .

Mariel :

Thus is a revitalizing tea I made for you , it had special effects . It'll help you calm down .

McElroy when he was drinking the tea the cup was shaking violently . As if he had an attack of Parkinson disorder .

Well I wasn't different either .Even my hand was shaking but to much less extent . My body went cold . I still felt my spine shivering . My breaths were still heavy.

It tooks a while to calm us down . But when we did I asked Mariel .

Jay :

Do you have the memories of the journey till our memories were suppressed .

Mariel :

Absolutely. Let me show you .

A giant screen appeared as the lights turned off and the screen started playing recordings of our h

journey .

It contained every detail from when we left the dungeon to the parade of a hundred demons .

During the parade of a hundred demons .

I saw that when I was heading towards the demon someone shot an fire arrow towards me .

Jay :

Mariel pause the recording . Who is that person who shot the arrow at me .

Mariel :

It is master Phoenix Cleft the last master of this bunker . Last record shows him coming here 5 years ago .

The recording was upto the point we were captured then there's no recording .

McElroy :

When we were captured that's when we got our memories suppressed . But why repress our memories what have we done to harm them .

Jay :

I guess we need to find it ourselves.

We decided the spend the night at the dungeon .

I went at the place where I found the recording of Professor Leskinen .

There was a note hanging there .

It said " Play the recording"

I called McElroy quickly and showed him what I had seen .

Jay :

McElroy quickly come here and look at this !!!

McElroy.

McElroy:

I'm sleeping let me sleep I will look at it tomorrow.

Jay :

Wake up now it's important.

McElroy:

Fine fine .

McElroy woke up .

McElroy:

What did you want to show me so urgently uwaghbbbhh (yawning)

Jay :

See this .

? :

If you're seeing this then it means that it has gone to the correct person . Dragon Slayer duo

Jay Garrick and McElroy.

Now listen this carefully .

I am Ikaros the Second head of the Immortals organization and the New Demon Lord and I hold one of the gate keys . This is a challenge to you .

18 days from now . Demons will cross the island and I will be leading them.

If you want the gate keys

COME AND GET EM .

I'll be waiting to see the one who defeated that old wench .

Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha .

Oh and one more thing do you like exploding messages . Then Enjoy

Recording ended .

McElroy: Quick throw it somewhere else .

Jay attempted to throw it but it just flared up a little and there was an internal miniscule explosion.

Jay :

Whew , I'm still alive

And now we could not turn from the demon war .

Such misfortune. Sigh .
