For a while, I was following Gregory's directions calmly, and thankfully without attack when out of nowhere, Kamina says something along the lines of me being in love with Celes. That made me stop in my tracks for a little bit, not only because it was surprising, but also because... he might actually be right. I then remembered M saying something about continuing on and shake off that feeling of surprise, continuing on my way after that. I ended up behind the group for a little bit, but ran to catch up to them. I just hoped that nobody was getting attacked, but, unfortunately, while I was certain nobody could see it, I could see a figure in the fog heading towards the group. The figure appeared to be in the human-like egg group, and seemed to be trying to tackle Gregory, who was no longer protected from all sides thanks to me. I ran even faster just to catch up, and just before Gregory got attacked, I vine whipped the attacking tyrogue, who turned his attention towards me afterwards. I simply took my spot to help make sure Gregory wouldn't get hurt, after all, he's the client, whether he likes it or not. Unfortunately, because of this, I ended up taking a tackle or two, which meant that we'd probably want to rest for a bit after we finish this fight. "Everyone, there's an enemy on the left side!" I shout, just to make sure that everyone was aware that we were being attacked. The tyrogue didn't try to hide back in the fog, probably because, unlike the purrloin from earlier, this tyrogue doesn't like to use tricks or sneaky tactics.

I spaced out for a second, and things went south, fast. There were two mawile attacking Matt, Josh was out of his bucket, and there was apparently some sort of creepy sableye sulking around the place now. Carrol seemed happy enough, despite the fact that I had mistakenly called him a girl, earlier. "Hey, over-bite, over here!" I shouted at the pair of mawile to get them to attack me. They seemed to be at young enough to only know physical attacking moves, and mawile were really only good at attacking, so I prepared myself to counter their attacks, which seemed to come almost instantly after that comment about their jaws. The one on the left let go of Matt just to take a bite out of me, which I countered afterwards, leaving the mawile with a giant bruise on his stomach. The second one seemed to back off a bit, meaning that I had to use water gun to get to it (that, and counter only works after I've been attacked.). Unfortunately, despite not being an ineffective move, water gun still didn't do too much to the mawile for some weird, unknown reason. [i]Why are my special attacks so weak? Ugh... it's probably just because I'm useless, or something.[/i] I think as I recall the fact that my absorb didn't even knock out Martin in two uses. Heck, because of that weakness, we were at a standstill until everyone else pitched in to help me. [i]Well... maybe I'm not useless, I mean, I was at least as good at Martin was at fighting.[/i] I then think as the first mawile tries to bite me again. I wasn't prepared to counter, this time, and ended up dodging, causing the mawile to bite into one of the giant crystals on the wall, shattering it, and having the shards rain down on friend and foe alike. Oddly enough, even the shards glowed in whatever color the crystal used to be, in this case yellow, which prompted me to pick up a few just in case we found ourselves in a darker cave than this. The second mawile headed over towards Josh, and I tried to use water gun on him to stop him, but... it didn't work, at all, and he just kept heading over to the now-immobile, possibly helpless Josh.
