"Ready? Then, let's go!"
Tami, holding a shield reinforced with Defense Magic, was the first to leap into the building, Maru immediately followed, with her Combat Skill fully charged and ready to fire, Chaos threw a stone slab etched with a Magic Array over, prepared to give the enemy a sneaky surprise, and the magicians had their Crystal Cannon ready, so even if it was Artorias coming, this wave of concentrated fire would either kill him or at least peel off a layer of skin!
"..."
Everyone was silently tense, everyone on high alert, everyone...
"Where are they?"
Everyone was perplexed.
Three minutes passed, Artorias didn't show, not even a wolf's howl could be heard.
What's going on? Traffic jam?
In three minutes, the Defense Magic on Tami's shield reached its time limit, he put down the shield, furrowing his brow and said:
"Could he just not be coming?"
They waited there for almost ten more minutes, finally coming to a conclusion.
Artorias wasn't coming!
