As they continued down the steps, the quality of the basement began to degrade more and more. The steps seemed to squeak as they were stepped on, and mold seemed to be growing in various corners. When they entered the basement, it almost seemed pitch black. She could luckily still see her teammates as long as they were close to her, but she didn't know if she could tell left from right in this kind of darkness. Hex heard Anthony say something, and she swung around.

A blue eye was floating in the darkness. A multicolored, vibrant ray of rings emerged from the eye, heading toward Anthony. He managed to dodge it, and it disappeared upon hitting the ground. Wherever it was. Hex launched a gust at it, a rolling ball of tightly packed musky wind. Each member of the team launched attacks at it, but all of them seemed to miss except for a Terra. Her attack looked like it did a lot of damage to it. The thing murmured something, but she had no idea where it was.

Hex tried another strategy, and opened her mouth, trying out a move she hadn't used in a while. She felt something tingle in her mouth, and she gnashed wildly into the air, trying to bite.. something. Unfortunately, she didn't land anything, and she closed her mouth, disappointed that she didn't get to use Bug Bite. Hex heard Josh say something about a dark type, and Matt raised a flat pane of light. It didn't help much to see, but it felt more comfortable having a source of light near.
