Meanwhile, compared to the rest of the gang, Kara, Ethan, and Karre weren't faring so well.
All 3: *Slowly get up* Ugh...
Kara: *Looks up to see...* *!* What the-
Karre: *Looks around* Where are we?
Ethan: *Looks around* Not sure.
*They proceed to walk around to find anyone or anything*
Kara: Okay. Instinct immediately says that our first priority is to find the others.
Karre: I'm more concerned about finding our lightsabers. It's hard to see in this place.
Ethan: *Spots something* Well, here's one source of light.
*Kara and Karre turn to see a wide, deep chasm with a lava river down below*
Kara: ... *Gulp*
Karre: *Spots something in the distance* What's that?
Ethan: *He and Kara spot it as well* Looks like a house of sorts.
Kara: *Turns back to the chasm* We might as well jump across. *Walks back* Okay. Here we go. *Runs towards the chasm and jumps... normally* Huh? *Flailing and screaming*
Karre: *Grabs her* Gotcha! *Struggles to pull her up* Ethan, help!
Ethan: *Tries to use his telekinesis... but couldn't* What?
Kara: Ethan!
Ethan: *Rushes to them and helps Karre pull Kara back up*
Kara: *She and the boys get back up* I-I don't get it. What happened to my leaping ability?
Ethan: It gets worse. My telekinesis wasn't working either.
Karre: Great. No friends, no weapons, no abilities... We have nothing to help us.
Kara: And how are we supposed to get to that house?
Ethan: *Looks around* Hmm. *Spots a safer path* There.
{Later}
The three continued to make their way to the house, while passing by a number of disturbing sights.
Kara: ... *Takes a deep breath* Where are you guys?
Karre: *Spot something weird... and rattling* Uh...
*Kara and Ethan turn to it*
*Rattling noises*
Ethan: Is it alive?
Karre: *Shrug*
Kara: ... Um... Hello?
*The thing reveals itself to be a skeletal creature by roaring loudly, scaring the daylights out of the trio*
Karre: Run for it! *He and the others run away*
*The creature chases after them for seems like half a minute until...*
Kara: *Collides with a tree branch... which sends her flying backward into the boys*
Karre: *Turns to the creature* No-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-
*Crash!*
*The trio had just collided with the creature, shattering it*
Kara: *Gets up* Ugh... *Spots the creature* Hey, we stopped it!
Ethan: *Gets up* We did? *Spots the creature* Oh. We did.
Karre: *Gets up* Wha...? What did we do? *Spots the creature* Haha! We did stop it! *Grabs the creature's skull* No lightsabers, no telekinesis, but our wits are still in one piece.
*The skull's eyes glow*
Karre: Ahh! *Drops the skull*
*The creature reassembles itself*
Karre: Okay. It's pretty much immortal from the look of things.
*The now-reassembled creature slowly walks towards them*
*The trio backs away in fear*
Before the trio could even think of anything else, similar creatures emerged from the ground and began going after them, prompting them to run away again, straight to the house.
~Strange House~
Ethan: We're here! Hurry! Get to the front doors!
*The trio runs to the front doors, with the swarm right behind them*
Kara: *Shoves the doors open, allowing them to enter*
*They attempt to close the door, but the swarm attempts to get inside*
Karre: *Shoves them back out*
*They slam the doors shut and lock them with the doors' bar lock*
*Banging in the door*
All 3: *Breathing*
Ethan: I don't think they're gonna leave anytime soon.
Kara: *Sigh* Well... *Sits down* At least, we're safe in here.
Karre: For how long? They're gonna keep banging on the door until it's weak enough to bust through.
Kara: They'll stop eventually. Let's just relax for now and figure out how to... explore this whole place.
???: Oh, you'll get that opportunity soon.
All 3: *?!* *They all turn to where the voice is*
*Thunder crash*
*A lightning flash illuminates the house for a moment... revealing an army of...*
???: Just not how you envisioned it.
*Screen goes black*
All 3: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
