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 .
