The NASADA Astro Megashuttle traversed the sea of stars on its voyage towards Planet Ῥαμνουσία. Planet Nemesis. It is a roaming planet which only approaches Earth once every 170 million years. When Nemesis approached Earth once again for the first time within the memory of modern civilization, an Earth space mission is set up to explore this world with a group of experienced astronauts who were chosen for this historic mission. This particular mission even received extra funding from the owner and CEO of Xanatos Enterprises, David Xanatos. He cited a particular curiosity regarding this planet and he was happy to assist with the mission. No expenses were spared in upgrading The Megashuttle and their astrosuits.

The new style of suits were looser and more form fitting than the old school bulky space suits which made moving easier. They incorporated some armor into the suits along with higher durability which made traversal safer. The new suits could provide them with thirty-six hours of oxygen. 2.25 times the amount that the old style suits could provide. The electromagnetic boots and gloves would allow the astronauts to attach, hang onto and walk on ferrous floor, walls and or hulls of a spacecraft during weightlessness, on top of allowing them to walk around the cabin of a spacecraft.

The suits were ideal for the maiden voyage to this unexplored alien world.

The Megashuttle was no slouch either. It was outfitted with the latest technology and comfort including the Xanatos Tech Artificial Gravity Generator the NASADA Scientists had installed in the ship which allowed them to move about freely while inside the ship.

The plan was simple. Land on the planet, stake their claim, put the flag down, explore, collect some samples and make their reports. Bring all samples back to the Blue Moon Colony for examination and study.

Quick, clean, simple.

What could possibly go wrong?

Zoe Porzio kept her face against the window with a big smile on her face as she stared out at the vast beautiful sea outside. A dark blanket, contrasting with blacks and yellows, and the occasional white, which is shaped as a circle and sometimes a crescent. There are stars which dot the blanket in a intricate pattern. This is space and Zoe couldn't be happier. She was like a little kid going to a theme park. Zoe was practically bouncing in her seat in anticipation of their arrival on the roaming planet. This was going to be the greatest exploration of their lives and she got to be a part of it!

"Someone's had her coffee today." Romeo Bartnick joked.

Zoe turned around to face him. The smile never leaving her face. "Can you blame me? This is a brand new world man and we're the first people in history to check it out! Maybe the last ones ever! Nobody else is with us! This is it! It's all us baby! This is going to be so cool!"

"Professional as always, eh Zoe?"

"I am the very symbol of professionalism my good man."

"And that's exactly why you were chosen to go along with us, Zoe. So hold your head up high! You're going to be making history with us today!" Hubert Yosten complimented her.

"Compliments will get you everywhere, Mr.Yosten. How was your nap?"

"Ahh I could barely sleep. I'm just too excited." He replied while walking over to his seat and sitting down. "I've been chomping at the bit to touch down on Nemesis since we left the station and now we're practically there already! This is going to be amazing."

"That's the spirit, Hubert!" Romeo and Hubert high-fived.

"The greatest scientific discovery of our time. The first people in millions of years to set foot on this brave new alien world. The first people ever! Who knows what we'll find?" Zoe excitedly. "Say! Where are the others?"

"Oh you know them. Kicking back and relaxing in our own way."

Paisley Gureczny meanwhile was relaxing in her room while rocking out to The Seatbelts' Cosmic Dare (Pretty With A Pistol). Flat out singing along to the lyrics with a pen in place of a microphone.

"You and I are betting on words,
You and I are wondering worlds,
Apart from each other,
Joined at the heart.
You and I escaping the earth,
Tasting tears for all that it's worth,
Apart from each other,
Joined by a thought.
Can You believe me?
Still sitting pretty with a pistol in hand,
Living to love you,
Will you be my man?
If I begged?
If I plead?
Would you please, please, please satisfy me?
Anything goes in this cosmic dare,
Anything goes so take care,
Can't you hear my heartbeat to your lies?
Listen close sweet love of mine.
You and I are traveling time,
You and I a moon rocket's climb,
In tune with forever never, say never been told,
You and I are floating in space,
You and I are waiting to make,
The most of a moment,
Alive in this silence so great.
Can you believe me?
Still sitting pretty with a pistol in hand,
Living to love you,
Will you be my man?
If I begged?
If I plead?
Would you please, please, please satisfy me?
Anything goes in this cosmic dare,
Anything goes so take care,
Can't you feel my heartbeat to your sighs,
Mon amour, sweet love of mine.
Anything goes in this cosmic dare,
Anything goes so take care,
Did you feel my heartbeat to your sighs,
Mon amour, sweet love of mine."

She continued to dance around a bit while sitting down. There was a giant smile on her face. "This is going to be the easiest job ever! All we have to do is land on an alien planet, take a tour, make some observations and bring back some samples. We're getting paid a fortune for this on top of our normal salaries!" Paisley laughed and flopped on the bed. "Do what you love and the money will rain. I could potentially retire after this...but I'm not. No freaking way. I love this job way too much. I freaking live for it." She turned around and looked out the window. "Here we come Nemesis you money pot. We're gonna explore the heck out of you for all mankind.

It was beautiful. It was incredibly beautiful. Even through their suits the beauty of this alien world was captivating. It drew them in and once they stepped off the shuttle they could only stare out at this magnificent alien world for a solid minute before they were able to speak again. "Hot damn. We're really here....someone...someone say something."

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Maggie chimed in while planting the American Flag in the ground. The crew saluted it before continuing.

"You know that isn't what he meant to say right?"

"Details, details. We're here so lets get to work!"

The Captain let the drones fly up into the sky where they would be able to observe and map out the area with the info being fed into their helmets HUDs. While they were flying in the sky the crew started working on collecting samples. Using their tools they begin gathering samples from the grass, rocks, soil, flowers, etc and placing them in containers and bringing them back inside. Every time they went inside and came back out they went through disinfection procedures and did the same for their gear and containers. Once they finished gathering samples from one area they flew the ship to another and repeated the process. It was a slow and gradual process but it was the best way to do it. Slow and steady.

Meanwhile the drones continued to fly through the skies of Nemesis giving the crew a bird's eye view of the planet's luster! They even found a couple of rivers where they scooped up the alien water for collection. Most importantly, they kept their freaking suits on throughout the entire process!

"This is so amazing!" Zoe squeed. "Alien water on an alien planet! I cannot wait to get this back to the labs!" She placed it in a containment unit on the ship.

"What'd I tell you honey? This planet is a money pot!" Paisley laughed and they clasped hands. "We're going to be rich and famous after this!"

"I'm going to be taking a looong vacation to the Bahamas after this. How about you?"

"Saaaame! I'm going to be living it up until our next mission!"

"Just remember guys. It's all about the work and exploration." Romeo reminded them.

"Yes sir!"

"So where are we going to next?"

"We've got so much already....but a few more won't hurt." The Captain shrugged. "Let's see...the drones are currently...oh. Oh Wow. Oh My God."

"What? What is it?!" The crew asked in excitement.

"Look for yourselves. We just found an alien structure."

The crew checked the HUDs of their helmets and they saw exactly what he was talking about. A large towering temple like structure in the middle of the planet. It was composed of strange material the likes of which they had never seen! It was a bizarre temple that resembled a spiral pyramid of sorts with a large Z on the front of it! The drones tried to fly in for a closer look but they started sparking and shaking while the video started getting static until the drones suddenly fell from the sky!

None of the astronauts paid this any mind though! Their eyes were transfixed on the temple in all its splendor! They could feel themselves drawn to it in awe!

"We have to go there." The crew said together in unison. "We have to go. We have to go. We have to go." The pilots returned to their positions while the crew got strapped in!

"Just look at it! We absolutely have to check this place out! How could we NOT?! This is the greatest discovery in the history of mankind! We could be on the verge of discovering intelligent alien life! This is going to be amazing!" The pilots got the shuttle up in the air and flew towards the temple. "Listen! I'll get us as close as I can but we'll have to hoof it afterword. We can't risk crashing the ship!"

Maggie groaned and rubbed her head.

"Mags? Are you feeling alright?" Martin asked her.

"Y-yeah...fine. I think I'm just a bit overwhelmed is all." She closed her eyes and rested in her seat. "This is going to be incredible. The greatest discovery in the history of mankind everybody. I'm sure it'll be okay. Right?"

Dora

The shuttle flew across the gorgeous alien planet until they reached the forest and the shuttle touched back down. The astronauts went back and forth a few times collecting and securing samples before they made sure that their suits were ready to go. They grabbed their equipment and stepped back outside and began their hike to the structure while taking photos of their surroundings. "This is unreal. Completely unreal, man. I still can't believe how lucky we are. I mean, we're the first people to ever see this place! We're going to be heroes! World famous heroes!"

"Well, the first Earthlings anyway. This temple, whatever it is, is the first official sign of alien life discovered by mankind." Maggie spoke in awe. "I want to see it. I want to see what's inside. Even if we can't get in....I just want to see. I want to touch it. Proof. Space rock solid proof of alien life."

"Uh, speaking of alien life, how should we approach them if we, you know, actually discover alien life?" Martin questioned.

"Casually. Slowly and casually. We'll lay down our tools and step back, holding up our hands to show we mean no harm, and try to communicate with them." Romeo explained. "Remember, we're trespassing on their planet, so we should be as peaceful as possible. We don't make an aggressive mood unless they do so first."

"He's right." Hubert agreed. "We'll try to communicate but the important thing is that we don't come off as aggressive. This is the most important discovery in the history of mankind. We have to get this right."

"It should be easy enough. We'll just talk to them. If they can build something like that giant structure on a planet like this with basically no resources? Then they should be capable of communication." Zoey reasoned.

"So can all agree that I won the bet?" Martin asked.

"Yes and no. Yes in that we've found an alien structure, no in that we have not found the aliens themselves. Yet."

"Oh come on, Maggs, you're splitting hairs."

"Now, now, the bet was for finding aliens themselves. Not their structures." Maggie reminded him.

"That's still splitting hairs."

"Now, now, don't be a sore loser. There's no use in crying over it, honey. We're bound to find aliens in there. Either living or otherwise." Zoey assured him.

"Thaaaank you!"

The crew continued their long hike until they finally made it to the structure. It was beyond anything they could have dreamed. A shining shimmering silver structure created by the hands of aliens beyond the stars. Beyond their comprehension! Beyond anyone's wildest dreams! This smooth sleek space metal alien temple emblazoned with a giant symbol resembling a Z with a lightning bolt striking through it and several more alien symbols of an indecipherable alien language emblazoned around the walls was their first real legitimate proof of alien life!

The crew stared at the shimmering alien structure in complete awe and amazement for the longest time until Marin spoke up.

"Someone...someone...s-say...say something..."

"Something..." Zoey snarked.

"Not funny."

"S-so...guys...how do we...how do we get in?" Romeo questioned.

"Maybe the old fashioned way?" Maggie asked as she approached the structure.

"Woah woah woah woah! What are you doing?!" The crew asked her.

"What? It's not like we have any other ideas." She pointed out.

"Okay, what are you planning to do? Knock?!" Hubert asked in disbelief.

"The thought crossed my mind." She walked up to the structure and placed a hand on the Z and patted it.

There was a moment of silence where nothing happened and then the Giant Z began to shine at the top and the light began sliding down the rest of the Z. "OH SHIT! OH SHIT! WHAT'D I DO? WHAT'S HAPPENING?! WHAT'S GOING ON?! WHAT'D I DO?!"

"WHAT'D YOU DO?!"

"I DON'T KNOW!"

"HIT THE DECK!" The crew ran over, grabbed her and they ran back and jumped down and covered themselves while the lightning bolt of the insignia lit up with a brilliant blue light along with the rest of the symbols around the building while the astronauts covered themselves until the door began to open up behind them with a thunderous quaking noise.

"H-huh?" Maggie sat up and looked back at the door as wind blew out of the structure and washed over them. "Uhhhh guys? I don't think it's going to blow up. I-it's...it's opening."

"What?" The rest of the crew slowly climbed back up to their feet and looked into the alien structure which began lighting up and illuminating the sleek architecture within.

"M-Maggs? Maggs...h-how did you do that?"

"I have...absolutely no idea."

"A-are we...going in there?"

"That's why we came all this way isn't it?"

"Sure."

There was a long pause.

"Soooo....who's going in first?"

"Screw it, I'm the one who opened it, right?" Maggie swallowed. "I might as well go in. Not like we're going to learn anything staying out here." She scooped up a couple rocks and she cautiously stepped inside.

"Uh, Mags? What's with the rocks?"

"Because I've seen enough adventure movies to know that sometimes you need rocks to set off traps."

"There are traps in there?!"

"I don't know. Maybe?" She shrugged and continued inside. Slowly. Cautiously. Carefully. One step at a time. She tried to keep an eye out for anything weird but seeing as how they were stepping into a futuristic alien temple, weird was right out the window. She looked left and right as they walked down the hallway. There were more symbols carved into the alien metals on the wall that they couldn't make out with little blue Z's emblazoned in the center of them.

"Hey, uh, you think these do anything?"

"Don't touch them. We don't know and we don't want to know."

They continued down the hallway up to another door with what looked like a handprint scanner. "Okay, so, what now?"

"Well, we're just going to have to try it."

"How? We can't take our suits off."

"So I'll just press my glove against it."

"How will that work? This thing is probably coded to alien fingerprints and handprints or whatever!"

"True buuuut by that logic pressing my hands against the front door shouldn't have worked either."

"That's fair."

"I'm going for it!" Maggie took a deep breath, signed herself and placed her glove on the scanner and closed her eyes. She felt a warming tingle travel up her body through her suit. It was a nice feeling. A nice pleasant feeling like a warm hug from a loved one or a loving embrace. A memory flashed through her mind of her playing war with squirt guns with little Tommy in the backyard while Tony and John worked the barbecue and Angela cheered them on. Except it wasn't just flashing through for her. She was watching it. She was standing there watching the memory unfold from the sidelines. She watched herself laughing and playing with her nephew and and brother and her family. She watched the whole day's events unfold full of love and laughter together until it all ended in a flash.

Her eyes opened back up and she gasped as the door slid open in three sections and she took a few steps back but thankfully the crew grabbed her. "Woah. That...that was surreal."

"MAGS! MAGS! You okay?!" Romeo asked her.

"What just happened? Are you alright?" Hubert asked.

"Come on talk to us Maggie!" Zoey called out to her.

"I-I'm...fine. I'm fine. I'm alright. We're good. I think...that thing was testing me somehow."

"How?"

"I don't know! It did...something to me. It was like it was looking through my mind. My memories. It was seeing if I was a good person. Or something like that. I don't know how to explain it."

"Okay, screw this. If this thing is messing with our heads like that? We are getting the fuck out of here!"

"Y-you're right. Screw the expedition! We need to-"

"Proceed. We've come too far to stop now."

"You're right. This is the discovery of lifetime. We can't stop now."

"We have to go inside."

"We have to go inside."

"We have to go inside."

"We have to go inside."

"We have to go inside."

"We have to go inside."

"We have to go inside."

"We have to go inside."

They straightened up and cautiously proceeded further inside.

The next room was downright amazing! Not only was it far bigger than the hallway they were just inside of and was a metal cathedral formed out of the same alien metals as the rest of the temple with massive pillars the size of buildings stationed around the room with new alien writing on them that was similar to the writing you would see on a memorial wall in an alien language.

At the top of each pillar was another symbol representing some kind of weird creature. One pillar had the picture of an eyeball emblazoned on it. Another had a skull. Another had a bee. Another had a fish. A shark. A pumpkin. A mantis. A unicorn. A knight. A pig. A mole. An oyster. A parrot. A bird. A scorpion. An ape. A toad and many others.

As they walked through the cathedral they couldn't help but notice that, statistically speaking, the scorpion, ape and toad symbols had the most names escribed on them.

"Okay what is this? Some kind of memorial? To what? To who? To fallen aliens?" Maggie asked.

"Did...did those things?" Zoey pointed to the symbols and then slowly lowered her fingers down as she looked down a pillar. "Did they...kill all those names?"

"Well, what choice we do we have? We've already come this far and besides we've got plenty of oxygen left. I say we go for it. We have to find out what's down there. Not just for us! But for mankind! This is the greatest discovery in mankind's history and if we don't explore it now? We'll never get another chance! Humanity will never get another chance! For generations!"

"That's right! This is our only chance to investigate! We have to do this. We owe it to scientific progress to investigate this place thoroughly!"

"YEAH!"

There was a chorus of cheers from the others and then they filed into the elevator and Maggie peered over the keys. "Alright...here goes nothing!" She pressed a random button. "Uhhh...basement please?"

"𐎸ⳕᛰ𐭕⿴ᜈ𐊔ꮤⲉゝꮤⲉ! ฿𐎸𓄽ꮤ‰ꮤ𐭕🝛 𒎙𐊔⿴⿴𓂊 ⳕ⿴‰ł𐭕ゝ 🝘𐑎!!" An alien voice chimed as the elevator door closed. Maggie yelped and jumped back to the others.

"What did I do? What did I do?"

"How the hell are you working this place?"

"Hell if I know!"

The elevator began to glow as it descended the temple and a quiet relaxing musical tone began playing in the elevator over the low humming of the elevator itself.

"Elevator music?" Zoe asked inredulously. "This place has elevator music? The hell?"

"Everybody stand together! Back to back!" Romeo told the team.

"What good will that do?"

"Uhhhhh....I-I don't know. It seemed like a good idea."

"He's got a point. We don't know what could be waiting for us."

"Could anything be alive down there?"

"Who knows? This place logically shouldn't exist."

"...Soooo how are we going to explain this when we get home anyway?"

"We'll bring back proof and explain everything we saw. If we've got tangible evidence of this place they'll have to believe us."

"Even about the elevator music?"

"I will get back to you on that."

The astronauts conversed until they finally, finally, finally reached the bottom floor and the elevator doors opened again. They were greeted with a long hallway leading to a doorway on the far side.

"Well this is weird."

"Single file I guess." They walked out of the elevator and it closed up behind them. They paused to look back at it, nodded and walked towards the door.

"There's more carvings on the wall. What could it all mean?"

"It's impossible to tell. This is alien technology and architecture. Whatever happened here, it was big. I feel like they want to keep something locked up in here."

"LIke what? What could possibly still be alive in here?"

"No way to tell."

"S-should we even be here then?"

"It's too late now." Maggie replied. "We have to keep going."

The crew walked down the long, long hallway taking in the magnificent alien architecture until they reached the door and it opened up to reveal a wide open circular room with a single gigantic sarcophagus in the middle of the room surrounded by six stone monks who were fused with the ground from the waist up with their heads bowed and their hands clasped. The sarcophagus itself was both amazing and eerie to look it was. It was long and golden with bizarre alien symbols and writing etched into it. The upper half had a beaitufl blue diamond like materials on top of it with golden lines running through it and a red ruby in the middle of it all and the top top of the sarcophagus had a humanoid head of a woman with her hands over her eyes. The moment they entered the room the ruby began to brilliantly glow and emit shimmering lights that illuminated the whole room! Most of the astronauts dived out of the way but Maggie was caught by the red lights and her own eyes lit up and she began walking towards the sarcophagus.

"M-Maggie? Mags? Maggie where are you-" Zoe started after her and she got caught by the light as well and froze in place momentarily before she began walking towards it as well! 

Jerome and Kaiden tried to go after them but were hypnotized by the red light as well! The others tried to go after them but were stopped by Romeo and Hubert. "WAIT DON"T! I don't know what's going on but we have to keep our eyes closed and covered! It's doing something to them! If we try to go into there it'll happen to us as well!"

"So what do we do?!"

"I-I don't...I don't know!"

The astronauts gathered around the sarcophagus, two on each side, raised their shaking, trembling hands into the air and then they slammed them down on the gem! The red light began flashing rapidly like a warning sign and crackling red energy began traveling up their arms and swiftly conducting around their suits as the astronauts screamed in pain!

"AAAAARRRGGGHHH! UUUGGGGGHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" The astonauts screamed as they continued to try and take the ruby off of the sarcophagus against their own will!

"OH HELL NO!" Romeo snarled and ran out into the room. Caution be damned his friends were screaming in pain! He grabbed the gem and Jerome and began to feel himself being shocked as well! The rest of the crew jumped in as well in desperation and began pulling and yanking on their friends and the gem! The entire crew screamed in pain until they were finally able to overcome the gem's power and pull it out of the sarcophagus! The entire crew fell back and landed on their backs as the gem flew out of their hands and across the room!

"Aaaahhh....ohhhh...Goood...what happened?"

"It hurts. It hurts."

"I'm hurting...all over...what was that?"

"What are we doing here?"

"Is...is everybody okay?"

The lid of the sarcophagus began shaking and trembling.

"Guys...guys...sound off..."

"Please...everyone okay?"

"Are we alive?"

The lid's shaking grew more violent and the rest of it began shaking as well!

"Unngghhh...guys? Wh-what did we just do?"

"What's happening to it?"

"Where's the gem?"

Suddenly the roof of the sarcophagus was blown off by by an unseen force from below! The crew screamed and ducked as the lid of the sarcophagus was flung through the air and crashed into a far wall.

Maggie turned over on her back and slowly rose up and looked over at the sarcophagus reached up and grabbed onto the side of it and green smoke began blowing out of the sarcophagus. Another gnarled hand reached up and grasped onto the other side of it. A tall humanoid figure with way too long humanoid arms stood up amidst the billowing smoke and the pilots began to hear a haunting sing songy voice speaking to them.

Do-do-ra-ra! Do-do-ra-ra! Dora-Dora-Dora! Do-do-ra-ra! Do-do-ra-ra! Dora-Dora-Dora!" The alien figure swayed back and forth as an alien staff looking object flew out of the smoke and into its hand as she continued singing. The creature pointed the staff at her mouth and began projecting her voice like she was singing into a microphone! "Do-do-ra-ra! Do-do-ra-ra! Dora-Dora-Dora! Do-do-ra-ra! Do-do-ra-ra! Dora-Dora-Dora!

The smoke billowed up to the ceiling in a tornado and the humanoid figure rode it up into the air while she spun around with it and then more multicolored smoke burst out of the sarcophagus from all sides before she suddenly jumped down from the smoke cloud, landed on her feet, raised her hands to the air, turned around and took a bow. They could see the creature more clearly now. It was a tall, naked, reptilian-insectoid looking alien humanoid woman with green skin, an exoskeleton armor covering her body, reddish-orange eyes with cross-shaped slitted green pupils, a small nose and two horns growing out of the back of her head. She grinned with a mouth full of razor sharp teeth and pointed her staff at each of them in turn, did a pirouette and raised her staff to the ceiling as she loudly announced her name.

"𐊔ł𓄽🝛ꮤ𐭕 🝘𐑎, ᨈ⿴🝘 𒎙⿴⿴𐊔ł𓄽𒔲 𐑎ꮤ⿴𐑎𐊔ꮤ, ł 𐎸‰ 🝛𒔲ꮤ ゝ𓂊ꮤ𐎸🝛ꮤ𓄽🝛 ᜈł🝛ⳕ𒔲 ⿴𒎙 𐎸𐊔𐊔! BANDORA!"

Bandora lunged at her and grabbed onto the gem! Maggie yelped and fell backwards as the gem started flashing and red sparks of electricity began crackling around her body and shocking her!  Bandora screeched and backed away from Maggie who crawled away against the wall over to the others. As the red lights continued flashing out of the gem the monks rose up out of the ground up to their feet and lowered their hands from prayer as their forms changed into a more humanoid stone piglike form as dark blue spiked armor grew out of their torso's, wrists, shoulders and legs and heads as weapons appeared in their hands: An Iron Bo Staff, A Steel-Headed War Hammer, A Steel Scythe, A Steel Alloy Double Edged, One-handed Sword and A Tempered Steel-headed Spear.

The pig guardians began stomping towards Bandora as the astronauts regrouped and more aiens began pulling themselves up out of the sarcophagus. Bandora backed away from the guardians as she continued fighting with the gem's magic while the electricity continued to shock her. A bright red light began to surround Bandora and swirled around her as the light from the gem grew brighter and brighter. More energy surrounded her in streams as it took the form of a cage around her. The Pigs surrounded the cage weapons at the ready in case. The light flashed around her rapidly and grew brighter and brighter forcing the astronauts to bow down and cover their heads and close their eyes! The energy swirled around Bandora like a violent tornado as she screamed in pain and anger only for her to screams to slowly die down and she raised the gem up and all of the energy died down and flowed back into the gem and then from there up her arm and through her body where it flowed upwards into and through her body freely. Bandora fell to one knee laughing in between panting for breath.

"The Braxarae Gem Of Sealing Evil's Bane. The vengeance of Sorcery 7's Royal Family." She identified the gem. "Hehhhhhhhhhh. A powerful source of magic but a mere power source to me if nobody is around to activate it's magic." The energy of the gem was swiftly absorbed into her body until it died down and the gem turned from bright red a dull lifeless grey. She sprung into the air just before all of the weapons came crashing down on her and landed behind the guardians. Bandora turned back around to face them and crushed the gem into powder in her hand.

"The Shimmermist Family fails again." She blew the dust of the gem out of her hand onto the floor. "Heh, heh, heh. Hah, hah hah, hah hah! HA HA HA HA HA!!" She raised her staff and the magical energy she'd absorbed transformed the staff into its true form: A long, ornate staff with crescent-shaped head that has a crystal as a focus embedded on it. The crystal is a more spherical replica of the gem whose magic she'd just absorbed. "Welcome back my DoraSceptre Lunar Staff!" She twirled the staff overhead and then she lowered it and pointed it at the stone guardians. "And you guys...Andresian Gatekeepers. Stone Guardians crafted from Utraitium Soil. A good idea for security guards but it'll take more than what you've got to keep me here. I have been locked up in this tomb for centuries and I. AM. LEAVING!"
