"Shani, get up!" One of her sisters called out to her, but Shani barely seemed to even respond. Her eyes drifted back and forth as she observed her surroundings in a dull, uninterested manner. It was not until she heard Liaena's voice that Shani's ear suddenly twitched.

“SHANI!! YOUR MISTRESS NEEDS YOU TO FIGHT ALONGSIDE HER RIGHT NOW, SO GET MOVING! ARE YOU A SOLDIER OR NOT!?”

"What did you just say?! ... " 

Shani's eyes suddenly regained their focus and zoomed straight in at the insolent little human across the cistern! Standing up so quickly that she almost knocked her sister over, Shani glared back at Liaena and pointed her finger threateningly at the human girl. The earlier shocked Sentinel's eyes had gone from bleak to now burning like fire, apparently ignited by Liaena's audacious words! 

"If you say one more word, your friends are gonna have to dig you out of one of these sewer tubes by the end of the day! So shut it!" Shani said threateningly. Being possessed by a wicked spirit had been a terrible experience, but by Elune she was not going to let it allow herself to be insulted by a mere human!

"She seems fine." Rithrynn smiled to herself as the group made their way over the cistern and back onto the crossroad, before she suddenly began to pick up speed
"We need to check on Serphia. Hurry!"

*

Serphia slammed on her back down against the cold, hard sewer floor, her fall being followed by a 'crack' of bone breaking!

Fortunately, however, it had not been one of her bones that had broken, but rather just the femur of a skeleton that she had landed on. That being said, landing on a heap of pointy bones had not been a very comfortable experience either!
Serphia quickly rolled forward and sat up, moving one arm behind her back to pull out a broken bone that had plastered itself onto her back. Her body was aching from top to toe after being hit by the dark spell, and she felt a stinging stab of pain in her lower chest where the bullet had entered. Deep, purple blood had left a clear mark on her clothes around the wound. 

*BOOM*

An explosion could suddenly be heard behind her as the bone wall that had been erected at the entrance to the room was shattered to pieces, and Rithrynn, Sharon, Shani, Liaena and the rest of the sentinels swarmed the room - hacking down whatever skeletal creations that still remained. 
Behind them came a last sentinel, dragging Donald who had yet to offer much resistance whatsoever against his capture. 

"Cursed ape." Serphia muttered under her breath as she studied her own bullet wound, her hand a little shaken after whatever curse Sevarian had cast at her. This was not one of the Captain's proudest moments as she sat on the floor, not at all. 
She had been bested by a degenerated monkey, who had gotten away with his life still intact from this insolence no less! Although Serphia was grateful for the cavalry that had just arrived, no matter how late they had been; it was no less embarrassing to be found wounded and beaten on the floor. At least she was surrounded by enough piles of bone to prove that she had not gone down easily.

"Mistress, are you alright?!" Rithrynn called out, and Serphia turned around, giving her sentinel a rather displeased look in return.

"Better than the idiots who thought they could stop me... " Serphia said as she peered around in the room. Vashi was struggling with a skull and jaw of what seemed like it belonged to a horse that had locked its teeth around her boot, and Vashi was kicking it around in an attempt to get the body-less undead off her.
