[color=9e0b0f][b][i]"Damn is this Dragon Lady fast."[/i][/b][/color] the hellknight thinks to himself as his suit's thrusters struggle to keep up with her.

He still has no idea where or who exactly this dragon lady is, but he's only thankful that she's here to even the odds out. She's practically carrying the entire team at this point, which makes characters like Mephilius seem rather useless in comparison. However, no doubt that if he didn't call for her to snap back into action during the Oasis fight with the Hydra, things could've gone a bit differently. Or maybe not, who knows. Either way, this dragon is certainly kicking ass and hastily carving a path for Hell to follow. But how long will this last before she bites something more she can chew?

Soon enough they come up upon the first pyramid. It was a grand looking marvel to be held indeed, with the lights issuing a warm fiery glow while right next to a calm river. It does initially seem like a welcoming place, but Mephilius knew better. Horrid creatures ought to lurk in these halls, perhaps creatures with bird-heads and crocodilian mouthes, maybe even an undead pharoh of some sort. It's only the first pyramid after all.

The dragon had entered the temple first before the Hell Knight could land by the shore of the river, but as he lands, he hears a loud roar booming from the giant structure. He rushes towards the pyramid's entrance, only to see the dragon lady engage battle with a large crocodile-headed humanoid while becoming intangled in the plants below her. Worse of all, it wielded water, something that both he and the dragon are quite vulnerable to, considering their powers are worse against it. Fire definitely won't be good here. The Knight will have to rely on brute strength and other rounds to do the job. Good thing he has kept his electrical bolts in his gunlance. 

Mephilus quickly launches several electrical bolts at the crocodile, diverging his attention and possibly stunning him as he rushes forward at the beast, his thrusters launching him and his lance quickly towards him.

As Saef joins up with Lucifus' dash towards the next area, the former picks up the reading of a machina drone that's nearby. The archangel may not have the advanced tech that his partner has, but even he can pick up the signals that they're being watched. No doubt this drone is going to hone on their location and call for reinforcements. He may not know where it is, but they alas cannot afford to hide or focus in dealing with it just now.

[color=fff79a][b]"Be on a look out for it."[/b][/color] the archangel replies to Saef as he continues flying, [color=fff79a][b]"If you see it, we'll shoot it down."[/b][/color]

Lucifus then proceeds to whisper quietly towards Saef regarding their next possible strategy, just in case the drone was able to record audio.

[color=fff79a][b]"But now, let us make haste and diverge from the others in the first Pyramid. Chen and Ama are in one group, so we should team up for the time being. We can combine forces with the other duo once we reach the last pyramid and go from there."[/b][/color]

With that said, Lucifus finds himself by the First Pyramid. As he comes out of the the forest, a mighty roar rippled through the trees, which appears to be coming from the pyramid itself. Whatever is lurking inside, it's big and possibly scaly. As he enters through the hallway, he sees two reptiles duking it out along with an armored hell knight. One was a crocodile deity who appears to be guarding the place, while the others were that demonic dragon lady and the armored demon. They seemed to be preoccupied with one another... could it be a chance for them to sneak around them?
