Yami: so you idiots ready to go
Ryu: oh hell yeah this is gonna be epic
Asta: yeah just you wait underwater temple
Magna: just you wait magic stone
Charmy: just you wait yummy food I've never had before
Vanessa: if I'm lucky maybe they'll have rare vintages for me to sample
luck: I wonder who we'll be up against down there I hope there strong come on let's go already
Gauche: the sooner we go the sooner we can return and I can see Marie
Finral: and I can get back to the beach babes
Gray makes there weird noise
Yami: I'll take that as a yes then
Asta: alright looks like your up
Noelle looks nervous
Asta: what's wrong your not nervous are you
Noelle: what!? Of course not I pulled it off fine yesterday
Vanessa: alright have a sip your stiff as a board
Magna: how about you don't offer alcohol to the person we're trusting with our lives
Yami: when your under a lot pressure things can go wrong that have gone right 100 times before just remember you've got to try and relax, and if you do screw this up I'm gonna kill you
Asta: what is wrong with you
Ryu: relax Noelle if you do fail Yami won't kill you because we'd all be dead anyway but seriously we all believe in you
Noelle has the inner monologue of everyone dying if she fails but no'one seems worried about it
Noelle: ok here goes
Water creation magic: sea dragons cradle
They all travel down to the temple I don't really want to describe the way down
Yami throws asta and they enter the place
Yami: thanks kid
Ryu: wow this place is amazing all this mana if I absorb this much power I could release some serious magic
Magna: I can't believe we didn't die
Luck: see I knew you where scared you even wet yourself
Magna: shut up lighting boy that's just sea water and you know it
Gauche: the mana here is too strong for me to get ahold of Marie
Ryu: dark magic phantom pulse
Ryu sends a shockwave that blows gauche off of asta
Asta: ah thanks Ryu
Ryu: anytime
Gauche: what the hell was that for
Ryu: you where standing on asta and I knew you wouldn't get off
Gauche: grrrr
They walk and see the underwater temple
Ryu: wow it's huge and beautiful
Asta: wow so that's the underwater temple
Yami: Charmy whip us up some cotton
Charmy: roger
Charmy creates cotton and it flies over there
They get to the city with the temple
Ryu: huh this is unexpected
Noelle: are these houses
Luck: does that mean there are ocean folk around here are they strong and scary and super powerful I can't wait to fight them
Ryu; not gonna lie that sounds fun right now
Finral: only you two would think like that
Ryu: please if there are ocean folk your probably going to try and flirt with them
Finral looks offended but realises the truth to that statement
Yami: huh
Finral: look people
Magna: luck was fight ocean folk, there not gonna attack us are they.
Noelle: ssh they'll hear you
They talked with the ocean people for a bit before being told to look for the high preset at the top of the stairs
Ryu: huh this place is beautiful but very weird
Sees finral flirting with ocean folk
Ryu: huh called it he'll scare them off sooner or later
They walk for a bit longer and Ryu starts talking with asta and Noelle
Asta: so far this has been a lot easier than I expected it to be
Ryu: just wait we haven't even mentioned getting the magic stone yet we have no idea what we're going to face
Noelle: that's true but I'm not complaining about it being easy but how are you two going to cope without your regularly scheduled near death experience
Asta: hey it's not like I go around asking people to try and kill men
Ryu: yeah trouble just seems to find us it's not our fault
Asta: exactly
They get to the temple at the top of the stairs
Yami: well here we are
The door opens
The random folk speak ominously about not thanking them when they walk in
Ryu: ugh why do I get the feeling this is gonna be really annoying
Yami: because kid it usually is
They walk along and see an old guy
Magna: look someone's here
Asta: think that's the hog preist guy we're looking for, HEY!
Suddenly a massive fish appears
Ryu: huh
Ryu does a quick draw attack and slices it in two without even flinching
Ryu: what was that thing anyway
Asta: YOU DIDN'T WASTE ANYTIME DID YOU
Ryu: nah
The old man appears again and starts laughing
Old guy: oh this is wonderful I love it when we have exciting visitors, ha yeeeess welcome to the underwater temple I'm the high preist of the subaqueous (no idea what this word means) structure
Ryu: seriously
Magna: yeah this freak geezer is the one in charge here
Yami: that wasn't the most neighbourly welcome you old fart
Ryu: yeah and if your gonna try that at least make it challenging I've killed bigger creatures than that before breakfast
High priest: Hahaha I can't tell you how much I love catching people off guard like that
Ryu: did he even hear what I just said
Noelle: this guy needs a new hobbie
Ryu cracks his knuckles: yeah that wasn't funny
Charmy: do you taste good (while trying to eat the fish
Asta: Charmy probably not a good idea to eat that thing
It gets even more chopped up and the high preist reveals its made of magic
Ryu thinking, yeah thought so I didn't bleed when I sliced it but he made something that enormous but doesn't even seem out of breath he must be powerful
Vanessa and finral where thinking the same thing
High priest: hahaha you came to my temple to seek the magic stone didn't you
Yami: hmm
High priest: if you want it you'll have to play a game with me first
Ryu: oh
Asta: what kind of game are we talking about here
Finral: here we go I can tell this guy is trouble he'll act like it's just for fun right up until we lost and he kills us all
High priest: well are you ready
The name of this game is
FIND OUT HOW SQUISHY THE BOOBS ARE
Noelle punches him and then starts stomping on him
Ryu: that's it Noelle give the perv what he deserves
Noelle: oh yeah I plan to/mind: he said I doing a good job
High priest: it was just a joke
Noelle: well now I'm going to show you how not funny I think that kind of joke is
Asta: that's not a good idea
Magna: alright enough messing around we didn't drag our butts all the way out here to play games with you how did you know we where after the magic stone anyway
High priest in a weirdly ominous tone: you'd be surprised how well these old eyes still see there's nothing you can do your kingdom needs that stone doesn't it
Magna talks to gauche, ryu and luck
Magna: so what do think beat him up and take it by force
Gauche: that would probably be the fastest
Luck: the geezer is super powerful so fighting him would get my vote
Ryu: plus I really wanna punch him for the tricks he's pulled on us recently
Asta: JUST WHAT ARE YOU FOUR PLOTTING OVER THERE BEATING UP OLD MEN ISN'T WHAT THE MAGIC KNIGHTS ARE ABOUT
Finral, Vanessa and Charmy just don't seem to care
High priest: aww haven't up made up your minds yet play with me and not only will you get the magic stone but I'll round up the temples loveliest ladies finral perks up, the finest drinks Vanessa also perks up and tastiest food all in a magnificent banquet what do you think shall we play
All three: yeah let's do it
Yami: ok it seems we've got no choice old man why don't you take on this master gambler
Magna: yeah you've got this Yami sir
Ryu thimking: what about all the debts you have
The high priest says it's a brawl and starts doing a dance
And then all get transported to the place they are going to fight
YOU WILL NOW COMPETE IN A TEN ON TEN BATTLE OF MAGIC (This will be from Ryu's POV because all the others would be identical
Ryu; so it's a simple brawl of the black bulls vs the ocean dwellers a 10 on 10 wasn't there 11 of us
Random sea person: Hey human
Ryu: oh so you're my opponent
Random sea person: yeah and my name is azure master of crystal magic and one of the strongest of the under sea temple, But you your skinny and short can you even fight
Ryu: don't judge a book by its cover fishface
LET'S DANCE
That's a rap sorry for the long wait I've kind of been depressed but I'm feeling motivated now so I'll punish this chapter and then I'll start work on another one
