"Are you hearing yourself! You can't fight those beasts on your own, you would just die, especially in the shape you're in" the water girl said.
"She's right, they're pretty strong. Plus, your outnumbered, there's no way you would win" the young man said.
The rest just looked at him in amusement of his stupidity.
"I know I can't win them on my own, that's why I want to ask you guys for help" Natsu said as he bowed his head.
"Hell nah!" one of the girls said.
"Yeah, are you crazy! Do you think we would just go back inside just because you asked" one of the boys said.
"Yeah he's right, even with our numbers, we can't win against them" the other girl said feeling pretty shy.
"I don't want you guys to follow me inside, all I want is for the cutting guy and the light person to help enchant my blades, so I would be able to see and easily cut them" Natsu said still bowing his head.
"You can't still win with that, you're outnumbered" the young man said.
"Please that's all I ask for, you don't even need to wait for me to come out. You can go immediately after you enchant my blades, I'm begging, please just help me out" Natsu said.
"Are you really planning on going inside all by yourself?" the water girl said.
"Yeah any problem" Natsu replied as he raised his head up.
"Not really, I understand that you got that far on your own, but it's still too dangerous" the water girl said.
"Wait, was he the one who rescued us?" the shiny boy thought.
"Well since you freed me, I guess it's only fair I help you out" the shiny boy said as he continued "Bring out your blades, I'll make them glow.
Sigh
"I guess I can also do that" the cutting guy said.
"Thanks, I really appreciate your help" Natsu said as he brought out his blades and kept it on the ground.
The boys enchanted the blades as a strange mark appeared on it.
"I just put some of my magic inside the blade, you'd need yours to be able to bring it out" the cutting boy said.
"Explain" Natsu asked.
"In other to bring out my magic, you'll have to put in a little of yours" the cutting boy replied.
"I'm done with mine, it's going to glow in the dark but it won't be able to brighten up the entire hole, and you'd also need your magic to increase or decrease the light" the shining boy said.
"Okay, I'm really grateful for your help" Natsu said as he bowed his head showing his gratitude as he then picked up his blades.
Sigh
"Fire Ball, Bright Star" the boy said as a ball of light appeared.
"It would follow you inside, and once it enters into a dark place, it would glow brighter than this. Also, it won't last forever since it uses my mana, so if I go way too far, it would disappear. Which means you have to be quick" the shiny boy said.
"Thanks" Natsu replied as he turned and faced the hole, running towards it.
The other boy started moving as the girls followed, as everybody left.
The young man looked at the water girl and said, "He'll be alright, you don't need to worry about him"
The water girl looked at the young man and said, in a weird tone, "I'm not worried about him, my worries is if those beast would catch up to us before we get to the exit"
"That was cold" the young man said as he heard what she said.
The other boy then said "She's right, I think we should increase our pace so that those monsters won't catch up to us"
"Don't you guys think you're being inconsiderate. Like literally, if the boy haven't saved us, we would have all been dead. Shouldn't we go back and help him, instead of running away" the shiny boy said.
"I understand what you mean, but the boy said he didn't need our help, so why should we go back" one of the girls said.
"Okay, so shouldn't we at least wait for him" the shiny boy asked.
"Yeah, but he said we can go without him" the other boy said.
"Okay, why don't we do this. Let's take our time to walk towards the exit, since one party wants us to wait, and the other wants us to move fast" the young man said as he thought "I get the boys concern! If we move too fast, the guy who entered into the hole won't be able to win against those beast, since the place would become dark"
"Are you hearing your self! It's only mister white hair that wants us to stay, and it's majority win the vote, so we run as fast as we can away from here" the other boy said.
"But I'm actually in favor of us going to help him" the young man said.
"Why don't we just split up, that way we can do whatever we want" the cutting boy suggested.
"That might just be the solution" the young man said.
"Yeah, and I'm not really a fan of group work" the shiny boy said.
"Are you all crazy! It's best we all stick together, that way we would have more chances of surviving" the boy said.
"Don't act like a coward" the shiny boy replied.
"That's not it, we all aren't in full strength since those things absorbed our magic, plus, we are all injured and weakened due to the battle. So our best way of surviving is to work together" the boy said.
"He's not lying" the girl said.
"Okay why don't we do a vote, that way we would be able to make things fair" the boy said.
"I'm sorry but I'm not voting, I'll just follow the group" the water girl said.
"Okay, all in favor of us moving as fast as we can away from here raise your hands" the boy said as him and the girls raised their hands.
"Okay, all in favor of us staying here and waiting for the boy raise your hands" the boy said as the shiny boy and young man supported it.
"Alright, that settles it. Majority wins the vote, so let's get out of here!" the boy said.
"Wait, the other guy didn't raise his hands" the shiny boy said.
"It's too obvious that he's not in support of any choice we make since he wants to split up, but my guess is, he saw reason in staying as a team so he just watched to know what would happen" the young man said.
"I see, but I really do feel guilty leaving him behind" the shiny boy said.
"Put it like this, your running to get treated before you die, so it's either you live, or die with the boy" the water girl said.
"Well, if you put it like that, it doesn't really sound like we're abandoning him" the young man said.
"Exactly! Plus, he said he didn't need our help and should go, that he can take care of things all by himself, so let's move really fast before who knows what will attack us" the boy said.
"I guess you guys have a point" the shiny boy said.
"Okay then, let's go!" the boy said happily as they began running.
"I hope he'll be alright" the shiny boy thought as he turned back when he was running.
Meanwhile, Natsu was busy fighting powerful beasts as he jumped and stabbed a spider, making it scream as he jumped off, removing his blades.
"Unlike the first time I entered into this place, it's pretty hard to move around, since there are no web for support" Natsu thought.
"Shit, my major aim isn't to fight all these beast, it's to get that giant spider"
"There was something about that spider that ticks me off. It got a weird mark all over it's body" Natsu thought as he imagined the spider.
The spider had strange markings from its neck to its back.
"I'm not sure why, but something about it reminds me of that fused beast. Is it because it's the leader, or maybe it's holding something really valuable" Natsu thought as he used his hand signs and abbreviated commands to move around, dodging their attacks as he continued thinking, "What if it's the leader because it's holding something valuable, or maybe it's because it's strong. If that's the case, then coming here might be useless. I just hope there is something valuable in here"
Natsu then stepped on the wall and used H to steady himself as he held it firmly and thought, "I should just focus on the fight and try to survive"
The ants and spiders screamed as Natsu looked at them.
"It's going to be hard to fight them like this, it's better I make them climb the wall, yes, that way I can easily swing down and strike them" Natsu thought as he imagined it.
"R" Natsu said as he jumped off the wall which made him to be suspended on the air as he went up slowly.
The spiders chased him and shot webs towards him, as the ants tried climbing the wall to reach him.
Natsu used his abbreviated commands to move around dodging the webs that were thrown at him.
The ants climbed really high above him and jumped down.
As Natsu was dodging the webs, he heard a weird noise and looked up, as he saw ants falling towards him.
"Hell no! These things aren't going to kill me" Natsu thought as he rotated his body on the air.
The spiders shot webs towards Natsu while he was spinning, which stopped him.
But as the ants got close to him, Natsu held the webs and shouted "ROS" which made him to spin upwards like a drill as he used the spiders to hit the others.
But as Natsu was moving up, he stretched out his hands holding both blades tight, as he moved his body in different directions which made him to cut through the ants, as slash marks flew out of his blades.
Natsu went passed them and flew above the hole, as he used his abbreviated commands to stable himself.
"Wow, the blade glowed and shot different slash marks from it" Natsu thought as he looked at them.
Natsu then remembered what the cutting boy said and thought, "Yeah, the cutting and shiny guy said I needed magic to bring it out. So does that mean the beasts tried using magic to attack me, which activated the one they put inside"
Natsu then smiled and said "Nevermind that! I guess things played out well. Now that the blades magic is activated, things are going to get fun. I'm excited!" As he then entered into the hole.
