The group are searching for the survivors in the underground labyrinth, where they hear a distressing voice.

But then, they found themselves in the third paths of the tunnels as they both hear voices from both 2 other tunnels.

So they decided to split up in pair just to rescue the survivors at the same time.

Mele and Magi will go to the left, Yuri and Liber will go to the right, while Jericho and Lee-yu will go to the middle.

But before they would do that,

Yuri: Are you okay with this, Jericho?

Magi: we'll have to split up to search for the survivors.

Mele: there will be monsters around here.

Lee-yu: Don't worry. Once I'm with you, I'll be protecting you all the time.

Jericho: Err... Sure. I appreciate it. Thanks.

After making an agreement, they proceed to search for the survivors.

.

When Yuri and Liber arrives, they see a military soldiers being trapped on the giant spider web.

Before they would try to free them, a giant spider like monster appeared and begins to attack them where it begins to spit out a poisonous venom from it's mouth.

As they avoid the venom before Yuri easily defeated the spider with the shot gun of her umbrella, Liber looks at the venom on the ground they had dodge.

"Hmmm... I think I have a solution for this." Liber said as he has come up with an idea for this situation.

Only to be surrounded by the other more giant spiders that they resume to fend them off.

.

.

.

When Mele and Magi arrives, they're facing a group of Giant gorilla-like monsters.

Then sees a defeated soldiers lying down behind the gorillas.

So they prepare themselves to fight against the Monsters and rescue the soldiers.

.

.

.

When Jericho and Lee-yu arrives, to their surprises, they see the military soldiers fending off the entire labyrinth monsters (such as tigers, giant size hornets, spiders, gorillas, and other predators).

As they managed to avoid falling into a prey from those monsters but to fight for survival.

Then they meet up with Lumi.

Lumi: Jericho you're okay!

Jericho: oh Lumi. I'm glad you're alright as well. Even everyone else.

Lumi: Yeah. But what about the others?

Jericho: oh, they went somewhere else to rescue the survivors. But I'm sure they'll be fine.

Lumi: I see. I guess you're right. *looks at Lee-yu who's with Jericho.* Eh? Jericho who's this girl with you? And what's on her body she has? It looks familiar.

Jericho: oh you won't believe it, that little girl is a dragon. The one that I tried to save.

Lumi: wait what?!

Jericho: yeah... I was also surprised about the dragon that would transform like that.

Lee-yu: Hi! My name is Lee-yu! It's nice to meet you!

Lumi: err... It's nice to meet you too...

Then they noticed that there's a giant spider approaching them to attack.

Jericho: I'll explain later. Right now we have to find a way to get out of here from those monsters.

Lee-yu: okay! I'm so ready for more fighting.

Lee-yu becomes enthusiastic and begins to charge towards a giant spider to give a blow.

Then, an alien tiger and the a swarm of alien hornets begins to surround her, Lee-yu quickly grabs the tiger by it's tail to swing the tiger back and forth and slam it to all of the hornets in a single swing.

Leaving one of the military soldiers stunned as they're disbelief from seeing the little girl easily taking down the giant monsters with her brute strength. While becomes familiar with her because of her traits on her body.

Only to alert them where they see their leader who is pinned down by a tiger who is about to devour him as he's unable to free himself.

Seeing this, Lee-yu begins to toss the tiger to the other one of it's kind, thus saving the military leader. Leaving him to be awed from the little girl's action before resuming their battle.

Lumi also wants to fight to help everyone but begins to notice from Jericho who begins to act from wary when he watches the whole battle. Seeing everyone struggling to fight against a vicious monsters makes Jericho anguish.

Lumi: hey... Jericho?

Jericho:...

Lumi: is there something wrong? You don't look so well. This isn't like you.

Jericho:...

Lee-yu: *approaches to Lumi* there's a problem!

Lumi: do you know what's wrong with Jericho?

Lee-yu: yeah. When we first got trapped in the underground, I learned that he's afraid of being trapped in here.

Lumi: he does?!

Lee-yu: it happened when he started to froze up after he sees a monster. He told me that it's his trauma because he used to experience something like this before.

Lumi: *GASP!* Really?!

Lee-yu: But he doesn't know why because he has amnesia.

Lumi: so that's explains, huh... *then noticed that Jericho is surrounded by a giant cobra and a swarm of hornets, while he's still paralyzed in fear to move.* Oh no...! I don't think Jericho would saved himself in this state!

Lee-yu: come on!

So Lumi summons a large amount of a star and tosses it like a shurikein as she aims at the cobra to slice it's head off.

Then Lee-yu breathes fire to burn the hornets to ashes.

After that, both dragged Jericho to keep him safe from the other monsters.

They prepare to protect Jericho from a horde of monsters, only to meet up with, Liber, Yuri, Mele, Magi, including the other survivors they had rescued.

While Liber has brought a device to the others which is a Dart Shooter he created that has a spider venom in the dart, so that would easily kill the monsters in one shot.

Once he lend the Dart Shooter to the rest of the specialists, they begin to attack the monsters which they have no problem fending off the monsters.

Like Liber shoots the alchemy arrow on the giant spiders that creates an explosion.

Mele gives a physical blow on the tigers, while her sister assist her by casting a forcefield to block the attacks.

Yuri shoot the darts on every monsters that tries to attack her with a perfect aim.

As Lumi easily fend off the monsters physically with her star powers, she noticed Jericho who is surrounded by spiders as he couldn't get to shoot darts at them properly because he panic.

Realized that the trauma gets best to him, Lumi rushed herself to save him where she shoots Star Bullets to all the spiders.

Lumi: Jericho! Are you okay?

Jericho: err...

Before he would say anything, a dinosaur like monster begins to approach to attack them.

Only Lee-yu breathes fire on the dinosaur which ended up being covered by ashes. Then gives an immense punch that sends flying, away from the two.

Lee-yu: see! I told you I would be helping you this time!

Jericho: err... Sure... Thanks...

Lumi: huh?! What about me?!

Then they realized about the horde of monsters and resumes their fight. To which they easily annihilated all of the monsters.

Although everyone thought about defeating the monsters, there are more coming for it's prey.

However, when they arrive, the monsters appears to be larger and more nastier than the other ones. Then begins to attack everyone in the underground.

The specialists and everyone else tries to fend them off, but proves to be hard as a "diamond" as it didn't get impaled from incoming the darts.

Then attempt to fend them off where Mele physically attack on the bear, but she couldn't give a powerful blow despite of her powerful strength.

When a bear monster begins to strike her back, Mele tries to block the attack with her power, but the bear's to be more powerful as it managed to give her a blow.

Once Mele is thrown to the ground while the bear monster is gonna strike her again by it's claw, Magi rushes herself to protect her sister from being mauled by casting a forcefield.

However, it managed to destroy the forcefield. Sending them flying after receiving a hit.

They all shocked in disbelief from what they had witness.

With more incoming assault from the monsters, everyone try to protect themselves.

Yuri tries to use her umbrella to shoot on the giant cobra but it's proves to be bulletproof.

Not even Lee-yu's fire would burn the hornets.

With all of the attacks being useless against the monsters, the military soldiers aren't able protect themselves as they're helplessly getting mauled to death by monsters. While the rest of the specialists were able to avoid from the assaults, they're aren't able to save few of the people from death.

Seeing this causes Jericho to froze in fear much more, he's unable to do anything in this situation.

While he's left behind from his friends as they're rushed to save the victims. Which is a mistake as the tiger monster begins to charge towards Jericho who is unable to evade it from this states.

This alert his friends from seeing him being left helpless and tries to rush themselves to rescue him. But they couldn't reach him in time as the tiger monster is about to devour him.

This caused Jericho to panic.

"No! No! Go Away...! Go Away...! Go Away...!"

Before the monster would have a chance to eat him, a flash of brown light that came from his pocket upon sensing Jericho's fear and distress. With this, it triggers a spike shaped rock where it burst out from the ground to which it skewered the tiger. Saving him in time from being eaten.

Then, more spike rocks begins to burst out from the ground that only targets on the monsters to kill them, with the rest of the victims being spared, leaving them to be surprised from this.

"Did you see that?"

"Those rocks came out from nowhere."

"But it only kill on the monsters."

As Jericho's panting and wonders on what happened, he noticed that there's something glowing that came from his pocket. He picks it up to check it out, which is a rock shaped gem that he has found a while ago. Only to see that is glowing until it stops.

Then Lumi approaches to him as she's more concerned if he's okay.

Lumi: Jericho! Are you okay? Are you hurt?

Jericho: I'm fine Lumi... *looks at the rock gem.*

Lumi: what is that you're holding?

Yuri: that's the gem that Jericho found when we first got here.

Mele: but there's something weird about him is that he found it because that thing was calling him. While none of us didn't.

Lumi: really? That's sounds kinda familiar back then... Because I've been there before...

Magi: while we learned that he has some kind of connection of that gem.

Lumi: just like the other 2 gems we have from the headquarters. Which are the thunderbolt shaped, and the tornado shaped.

Yuri: but now we have a rock shaped gems, you said that this gem could manipulate rocks, right? Which that happened.

Jericho:... yes that's right. It does manipulate rocks. Just like the other two gems we have because they're both elemental.

Magi: but it looks like it activated when Jericho felt distressed, right?

Jericho: *sighs*... You could say that...

Lumi: but... Look on the bright side. Now that all of the monsters are dead, we could leave this place safely as long as we stick together.

Lee-yu: Yup! Agreed!

She then starts to hug out of affection as she's relief to see him okay. This time, she's in control of her strength to avoid crushing his back or suffocating him.

This surprised Lumi from seeing Jericho letting himself to be hugged from for the first time. But also makes her envious from this.

Before they're reminded about leaving the labyrinth before more threat would come.

However...

A gust of sand suddenly appear out of nowhere that surprised everyone. Then once it clears off, it reveal a person that came from the sand.

Which is none other than Nefertine herself, and appears to be not happy from this.
