[color=a2d39c]"Seems your friends here are at odds with each other...but this gentleman here is right," Abernathy says to Minako while gesturing towards Ater, "If we're going to go through with this possibly-foolish act of bravery to save Joerose, then we should surely hurry-"
Before Abernathy can finish, another loud roar is heard from down in the basement, this one shaking the walls and floors. Renn ends up clutching onto Ellysa's arm, and [color=fff200]Amelia scurries up the stairs[/color] of the mansion.
"Y...Yorugiro's angry...!" Renn squeaks.
"Come! We shall fight!" Ellysa raises her sword in her free hand.
"T-there's no way I'm going down there too! Not again!" Renn cries.
Minako watches all of the commotion, biting her lip with slight frustration. She turns to Makoto and Lucas. "You two can fight about this manner if you wish, though there's no point. I'm going on ahead to see if there's a way to calm down this monster, and stop a large battle from even having to-AH!" Another violent tremor in the ground almost bring her to her knees, and right before her, a huge spike made of darkness breaks through the floor, nearly impaling her.
"It's furious. I'm going on ahead." Abernathy states while quickly making his way towards the stairs, catching up with Joerose and Fred. He quickly analyzes the situation, observing Joerose fighting his own friend, and Yorugiro as well. However, Yorugiro hasn't been weakened, only angered even more. The huge monster has absorbed a large amount of the light from Joerose's attacks into his own red glow within his body, and is using it to grow in size and power. His spikes scrape and puncture the walls ad the ceiling above him, and he prepares to lash out at Joerose and Fred with furious, deadly claws. In a hurry, Abernathy rushes to stand in the way of the attack.
"Yoru, please, listen to me! You have to sto-" Abernathy doesn't get to finish before the monster swipes him with his claws, flinging him hard against the darkness-covered walls.
Minako rushes down the stairs after Abernathy, Ellysa by her side as well.
"ABE!" Ellysa gasps at the scene, and brandishes her blade. "Alright, beast! Ready for the second round?!"
Minako stares at the angered Yorugiro for a moment, contemplating a strategy to calm him down. She honestly didn't want to fight the monster, as it looked far too dangerous at this point. However, as she observes, she catches sight of something small and white behind the beast, at the very end of the basement chamber. The figure peeks back at her with big, [color=fff200]empty-looking[/color] lavender eyes.
"Negloria...?" Minako whispers under her breath. Just as soon as she spots the girl, Negloria ducks behind the monster and vanishes altogether...[/color]
