Patry gave an exaggerated shrug with his great insect mass.
"Well, this guy was better suited to serving as a guinea pig rather than a research material."

Vambrace sat back and then let out another long yawn.

"He must have been important to keep him here in the SECRET LAB," Fool observed.
"So what exactly were you testing?"

"Khh-hh-h-h...."
"You see, for that I-.."
"Oh, yes. Let me finish showing you around the lab."
"We can talk more about it later."

"Vambrace, why don't you come with us?"

The Demon nodded and followed the two outside.

Patry took Fool, Joe, and Vambrace and led them around the lab, showing off various areas.
Of course, since the players already explored the dungeon, they had been to many of these places already.
Thinking about it, Patry decided it wasn't a good idea to go downstairs.
At some point Mara Raiev began to follow the group.
However, Patry did not seem to notice her.

Eventually they went into the Inventory Room.

"Hm... Odd." Patry seemed distressed.
"The lab shouldn't be open until the Inventory Processing is complete."
He glances at the Orange Pilot Light, which is of course still not on.

Joe walks over and pushes the switch.
"Like this?"

"No, you fool! It's to prevent-" Patry takes a step forward but there's no way he could reach Joe in time.

Of course the Inventory they were keeping was that of... the Alpha Fiends.
The reason it was important to process the Inventory before opening the Research Door,
Was so that the Alpha Fiends would not interact with the Beta Fiends and seize control of them.
In this circumstance the Beta Fiends had all just gone and died in battle against Qslvl.
But that still left one problem...

The section of the wall beside Joe slid open.
And within an instant a Very Angsty Hydramera vaulted out from behind the screen.
This thing had been patiently waiting in the Inventory Storage for a very, very long time.
As soon as it heard voices and movement on the other side it was ready.
Alpha Fiends had a range of intelligence.
The Hydramera was actually... very intelligent!
He had constructed a perfect plan to ambush the Research Assistants and kill them all.
Well, the targets seemed to have changed, but the plan was more or less still the same.

With a startling roar it spun into the room.
Its horned head was driven low to the ground as if it were about to charge.

Those standing further back, in the water, fell into a defensive scramble.
They didn't want to get bowled over.

Then, all at once, he turned his entire body another full cycle.
His back end spun around the corner and snapped in the direction of Joe.
Joe, who had just pressed the switch, was the nearest target.
Therefore, he was the highest priority!

The reptilian head snapped downward, biting at Joe to grab his leg and entangle him.
But... that's not all!
This was not your standard Chimera.
The Hydramera had an assortment of reptilian heads on its ass.
And all at once they would attack.
Five at once, to be exact.
They lashed out at the young HERO beneath them.
The creature, its body larger than that of a bear (easily) stood over Joe with an imposing figure.
And as those tails lashed down there seemed to be no escape.
Like whips, but with fangs at the end--- they cut !!
