Dungeon Raider System

Medusa worked harder than ever and after long hours of painstakingly connecting the wires to the alloy plates the vehicle was ready to be assembled but doing it by herself was impossible, even with the enhanced strength of an ascended, and she was forced to wait for help

She was tired and hungry, but she decided against sleeping because she was too excited to finish her project. If it was only because of her burning passion for engineering, she would have gone to rest a long while ago, but the reason why she remained working non stop on her project was a selfless care for her friends.

Something in her gut told her this wasn't like all the other times when Uriel got out of the city. It was an ominous feeling she couldn't shake off her heart, but keeping busy helped her cope with the anxiety. That's why this time she didn't give him the accustomed good luck peck on the cheek, because she feared it would be the last time she saw Uriel.

Little did Medusa know, her gut wrenching feeling had nothing to do with Uriel but with Luna.

When the employees rushed inside the headquarters like they were being chased by a ghost and Uriel didn't show up, she feared the worst and it wasn't until Nika showed up that she received an explanation.

Nika didn't know much herself, but she was able to ease Medusa's worries by informing her that Uriel was probably going to be fine and the problem was with Luna, who was outed as a human-cryptid hybrid.

The existence of such creature was unknown to them and up until that point the world was black and white. The closest they saw were the Air spirit people but since they couldn't speak human language they deemed them as cryptids that resembled humans and nothing more.

But Luna's case was different, she was their friend, they shared precious moments and they even lived together. The fact that they ignored her true nature for so long made them feel betrayed and scared, especially Nika who experienced the terrible sight of Luna's werewolf form in person.

By the time Sam arrived at the headquarters the zeppelin was already half assembled and he almost had a panic attack thinking they stole it from the Mapple corporation. It took no less than fifteen minutes to calm him down enough to explain the situation to him, but when they told him they suspected Luna was a hybrid his reaction differed greatly from theirs.

"So, you're saying she's half human and half wolf?"

"Basically, yes." Nika answered.

"Does she look hot? What happens to her clothes? Wait, was she naked!?"

Nika facepalmed at the perverted questions Sam asked, but Medusa chuckled at them both since she knew Nika would have asked pretty much the same things if it was a male werewolf.

"I don't get it, why are you more shocked by the fact that I built a zeppelin than from Luna being a werewolf?"

"I thought it was a truck." Was all Sam could say in response.

"But... our cute Luna..." Nika insisted.

"Why are you getting so worked up about that? It doesn't change the fact that she's always been by our side, if anything, it explains why she's so weird." Sam shrugged.

Both Nika and Medusa were hit by the realization that deep down they always knew there was something going on with Luna. She always behaved in a strange way and had no qualms in performing acts that others would have deemed inhuman, like when she used the unconscious Shaker to test if it was safe to touch the pillar that took them from the first world to the second in the dungeon.

As soon as the zeppelin was ready, it fell upon Sam's shoulders to sail it since no one knew how to operate it but at least his trait gave him an incredible spatial awareness. Besides, Medusa built the bridge with transparent materials thinking especially on his 'Lightbringer' trait.

"Watch out!" Medusa clung her nails to Sam's back as he almost hit a building when the airship began it's ascent in the sky.

"My bad! It's quite the learning curve..." He muttered thinking that the only other vehicle he ever drove was a bike.

Finding Uriel wasn't difficult at all, but since Sam had no experience in manning a vehicle as big as a zeppelin he kept the thrusters full blast for too long making it appear as though they were chasing after them in a rush.

The first thing Sam did after Uriel climbed into the big ship was giving him a hard slap to the back of his head that almost Made Jon's fedora fly outside the open landing bay, but Uriel managed to catch it before it was too late.

"Hey!" Uriel glared at Sam.

"It's the least you deserve for not calling me!" Sam said with a smile that made Uriel regret not relying on his friend for such an important mission. He was his friend, but more than that, he was the closest thing he had to a brother.

"So beautiful." Now that they were all aboard the ship, Uriel let out a long sigh of amazement.

"Thank you." Medusa replied, blushingly.

"You do know he's talking about the ship, right?" Sam was unamused.

"I know, but I made it myself. It's name is Pegasus since it came from my head," She said referencing the Greek myth of the pegasus.

"and since it came from me, It's like he's saying it to me too." Her logic was flawed, but that held no meaning as her accomplishment went far beyond what anyone would have expected from what they thought was a pile of metal plates wasting space in the headquarters for so long.

"You're even prettier than this ship." Uriel thought that maybe that'd be enough to spare him of any punishment in the future if she ever finds out about him waking up to two naked women, but the result was Medusa's face blushing red hot to the point steam almost came out of her and she tripped over as she retreated blurting out an unintelligible excuse.
