"Made outta the best.. Uh.. Stuff, HEY HAROLD, WHATCH'YA MAKE THIS OUTTA?" Harold, a man near one of the massive Kegs, yelled something back, but it was inaudible. Luke pretended to hear and nodded. "Yeah, that stuff's the stuff, ha ha!" Luke took another swig of his drink and slammed the glass against the ground before letting out a loud howl. "That's the way! Boo-yah! Jenso, show these fellars the amulets ya go!"

_{Drunken Memories}

Luke and his Divers all gathered around the Eye of paradise in a fit of joyous banter. Jenso and Bruce were welcomed back with a feast and enough ale to put down a giant. Luke particularly took to the drink, already half-drunk by the time the two of them arrived, speaking pages about his years of experience with ranged weaponry.

"You shoulda' seenit, kiddo!" Luke shouted, raising his lightning-Rifle into the air, "Cracka-Boom! Right through the eye! That giant lizard didn't see what hit em, on account of him being dead and all.."

A Hero Tale {Complete}

As soon as Serpa-Mon's life was sniffed out, the exit revealed itself once again..

A Hero Tale {Complete}

Serpa-Mon's head buckled and its Jaw was smashed shut, stopping the flames at their source and crushing one of its eyes in an instant. Suddenly the temperature of the room dropped severely, and the magma surrounding the battlefield began to harden. Serpa-Mon's tail began to crumble even further, stopping it from swatting Jenso away, and its head fell to the floor. With only one eye left, the golem could barely even move. It moved its jaw slowly, unable to conjure any sort of attack again the heroic duo that laid it to rest. It still lived, however, despite its inability to move at all.

The tail's relentless charge would not be stopped.

Bruce's barrier shattered to pieces as Serpa-Mon's tail tore through it with each, suffering minimal damage moments before it struck Jenso with the jagged rocks aiding in its strike, ultimately launching him, and the remainder of the barricade towards the smooth wall of the room, over the magma.

The tail didn't stop, continuing towards Bruce with slightly reduced speed. As it emerged from the dust however, there were clear markings all along its length, where it had struck the rocks. The head of Serpa-Mon was still unoccupied, though, and as this was happening, it directed itself towards Bruce, and fired another torrent of flames behind him, cutting off his most immediate escape route.

Serpa-Mon ceased its spray of flames as soon as the smoke-screen started up, but didn't stop its assault on Jenso. It's like it knew exactly where Jenso stood, even in the smoke. It dashed forwards, avoided the small boulder that Bruce launched, and stopped a few feet in front of Jenso, pulling the length of its tail out of the smoke in a sweeping motion. It launched the remainder of the magma-puddles towards Jenso in an all-encompassing spray, making a simple dodge impossible, while also attempting to swipe him off the arena with its tail.

Serpa-Mon~Dril Darted to the right to catch Jenso off guard, but when he changed position all of a sudden, it was too late for it to stop. The drill head struck the ground, and got stuck in the dense material, leaving a perfect Opening for Jenso to smash the entirety of its head to little pieces. It was surprisingly fragile, and in an instant, both the secondary head, and the core, was destroyed. A large portion of Serpa-Mon's body went dark, and fell to ash in the same moment.

Serpa-Mon's main head ended up taking a mouth-full of sand, crunching it down with a few disordered chomps. It melted into a fine goo, sticking to the inside of its jagged spike-pit of a jaw, and eventually slowing its chomps to a crawl, until its jaw didn't even have enough force to break stone. In this moment, the golem noted its tail being destroy, and flicked it head towards Jenso, darting towards him and flinging its entire snake like body around the battlefield, upsetting the lava puddles, and sending a spray of super-heated magma droplets towards Bruce. Serpa-Mon opened its jaw as much as it could manage, and sprayed Jenso with a torrent of flames.

Jenso's flame saw was faced with a great difficulty, insurmountable by the blade's sheer piercing power. As soon as it came within 5 feet of the Snake's body, it was dissolved, and sucked into its eye sockets in an instant. The snake crashed between the two of them, leaving a small crater where its teeth tore out a chunk of the room's floor. Bruce's stone barely missed the intricate, forward facing eye socket, leaving a small crack where it struck before shattering against the beast's body.

The snake pulled its tail out of the lava, lashing it over head and spreading the super-heated rock all over the battlefield. Wherever it might have landed, it left an ever-burning puddle that didn't dry immediately. But the farther it was from the snake, the cooler the lava seemed. It became obvious that this monster was keeping the magma burning hot. On top of that, Serpa-Mon radiated an aura of heat, albeit not significant enough to cause burns without sustained presence.

Serpa-Mon turned towards Bruce and lashed towards him, curling its body into a coil behind itself. The tip of its tail was strange though. As the ruby material shifted, a second, smaller head sprouted, and darted towards Jenso. This one had a single core-eye, and no teeth, instead wielding a pointy drill-like nose that spun fiercely.

The magma began to rise, slowly pouring off of a large, intricate face, detailed out of a strange red jewel-like material. As it became totally visible, Serpa-Mon let out a crackling hiss, akin to that of a rattle snake, and revealed its inner mouth, where several rows of fangs permeated into the center of its singular mobile jawbone. Its body was thin, snake like, feeding into the pool below them, where it stood, moving from side to side. Its eyes glowed orange, revealing its two cores, but it didn't seem to be as reserved about its weak spots as Arach-Mon had been.

Without warning, it lashed out, moving extraordinarily fast towards Bruce and Jenso with its clamp-like Jaw bared, thousands of tiny spikes acting as its teeth, capable of skewered every square inch of whatever was unfortunate enough to find themselves in its grasp.
