Aidan walked in. He shifted, and ninja vanished. Even the simplest of ninjas learned to vanish, yet only those few monks that neared, or reached, enlightenment managed it. Luckily for Aidan, he went insane after reaching such a spiritual high point. He smiled as they noticed him. It was a simple matter in principle. Shifting into another plane of existence, one that was connected to the norm. It was impossible to actually affect either plane from the other, but it made moving around undetected comparatively easy.
Weapons drawn they attacked him as they're comrades continued to shift in and out at sporadic intervals trying to get a better angle to strike Aidan's "allies" from.
A flash of light accompanied Aidan and the charred remain of his attackers. He certainly did not look the type that could call upon such fire easily. That was a great advantage to say the least. He reached behind him and snapped the neck of the one ninja that had the audacity to think he could sneak up and slit his throat.

Gir'and Kris singled out a ninja near the wall that had seemed slightly less willing to attack the group of rampaging adventurers. He charged in and grasped the shocked shinobi by wrapping his oversized Iron fingers completely around the man's chest.
He growled a single word, "Door?"
Acraduis, who has been inching along that very wall pointed to the sagging form clenched in the berserkers fist and replied, "crushed." After realizing the force he had applied to this defender, Grant dropped him and hooked the next ninja to pass by the back of its scarf.
Much less passive than the last, this ninja lashed out and kicked his captor in the face with his ashiko foot spikes. The belligerent ninja soon realized his mistake as the metal armed dropped him, his chain sword, and the patient expression he was forcing.
The berserker pulled both bolters and started unloading the .75 rocket propelled explosive slugs as fast as he could pull the ignition triggers, first at his now quite soggy quarry and then randomly, at anything moving that even resembled one of the black clad ninjas.
*click*
*click*
*click*
Only after both clips were completely empty did he stop and look around at all the intricate brass carvings, completely destroyed, and the painstakingly reproduced scenery, torn up more than any disaster area. The smoky propellant fumes began to clear and his temper cooled, and then he shouted, “If your still alive, speak up now.” after pausing for a moment he added, “Or I’ll leave without you.”
Edit: PS: I'll be gone until Monday, If nobody has added by then, We head to the next floor?

Ushi'tora had just regained his senses when he heard the voise of the berserker once more. He vanished as soon as he could, as far as this behemoth was concerned, he was dead.
Grant: ...Killed him.
Fang: What did you expect? You decimated the entire floor!
Grant: Worked didn't it?
Ushi waited and listened from his hiding point. Meanwhile, the conversation that was going on below had turned into a bit of a squabble.

Valigarmander rubbed his singed wingtip gingerly, barely paying any attention to those talking in the middle of the room. He had come out of the battle with little injury, save the burnt edge of his left wing, which had been grazed by one of the berserker's explosive slugs.
He grasped his trident. No mana had been spent during the battle, simply attacks with his weapon. There was no need for magic when mowing down the tiny ninja.
Slowly, Valigarmander trotted across the room to his comrades.

Out of the darkness another ninja came. This one looked stronger but was he actully stronger then the rest? Dark would find out as he and the Ninja began their duel.
The ninja was quicker then the other Ninjas Dark had fought. The ninja tossed ninja stars as he ran around Dark. The X-Naut felt the stabs of the sharp stars as they hit his tiny body. Dark Naut fell, to the ground. The Ninja moved forward to check if Dark was alive. This was a mistake. The ninja took out his katana, about to strike Dark in the back. However Dark grabbed the katana and pulled it right out of the ninja's hands.
The X-Naut warrior stabbed the ninja in the chest. He removed the sword and stabbed the ninja in the face. Dark left the corpse and headed to his comrades.

The original trio looked around. Alex made no expressions whatsoever and began looking around. Fang kicked some of the bodies of the ninja clan around, wondering what to do. Havik spoke up.
Havik: Well, it looks like we won. Now what? I still don't see a door or anything.
Fang: We could get the big guy to blast a hole in the wall. It worked last time.
Alex: No...up there.
Eveyone's heads turned upward. The warriors layed eyes on what seemed to be a counter. The device read "1."
Havik: What does "1" mean?
Alex: Probably means how many ninjas we still gotta kill. Everyone start looking.
Gir'and looked in a few spots. Fang smelled around, hoping to catch the cloaked warrior's scent, Alex scanned the room, and Aidan simply took a sip from his flask once more. Havik Spoke up once more.
Havik: I found something. But's he looks kinda pudgey for a ninja.
Havik had stumbled upon a pacifist ninja. He had no desire to fight anyone and stayed hidden from everyone.
Ninja: Please, don't hurt me. I only want to be happy and eat my rice. Please, just...AUG!
Fang silenced the ninja with a small blast of dragonic energy. He wanted to move on and get to the next floor, as the stench of rotting bodies was making him sick.
Fang: Can we move on?
Alex looked up at the counter on the ceiling. It had changed to a zero. A swishing noise was heard and a door formed where the warriors had entered. Fang quickly ran to the doorway and rushed through. The smell of rotting death was not pleasant toward a dragon's sensitive sense of smell.
The others soon followed, as the smell was beginnig to reach them as well. They walked up the stairs and came to another door which, like the last one, was locked. Grant move to the front of the group and prepared to smash through again.
Havik: WAIT! Before you go and kill another door, maybe you should try this card key.
Fang: Where did you get that?
Havik: When you all left, it fell from the ceiling. Looks like it goes in the slot on the wall there.
Everyone's eyes turned to the wall and there was indeed a card slot. Grant snatched the card and shoved it in the slot. The door slowly opened...

The fighters were immediately hit by the stench of death once more, and it quickly became apparent why. The room was large, spattered with red blood and traces of organs. Massive pillars spun in place, body parts dangling from them like a macabre mobile. This was the slaughterhouse room.
Slowly entering the room, the combatants looked around.
Havik: What the hell?
Dark Naut: Smells like a meat packaging plant in here.
Valigarmander ignored his comrades, shuffling into the room. He looked around. There seemed to be nothing alive in here. Simply rotating pistons and blazing razor blades. It looked like this level would be more of an obstacle course than a battleground.
However, just as the wyrm was turning back to his allies, a dark figure descended from the ceiling, landing right in front of him. A horrific mishmash of flesh and machine, the fat, bloated Frankenstein's monster which stunk of death and decay, growled. It raised its hand, a rather sinister-looking rusty hook, and jabbed it in the dragon's chest.
Butcher: Yoo does not get paaast!
He roared, and swung his weapon.

Grant glanced around at each of the combatants that had followed into the slaughterhouse room. All squishy and flesh, prone to pain, aging, and suffering. This floor would kill them if they wern't prepared, without a doubt, if any of them missed a single turn or even looked up at the wrong time, Most of all he was worried about the Dragon beast that had recently joined, if He could barely fit between the whirling death, how would a creature of that size? And with the added distraction of a horror guardian.
He bit his lip and decided, no more losing teammates, no more losses in the gang. He grabbed one of the giant teath of a gear an allowed himself to be pulled high in the air. Just before the gear teeth met another cog to crush his metal hand, he kicked off and grabbed onto a rusted heavy chain dangling from the cieling.
He swung the end of the chain up to where he could grab it. He launched himself from the roof and as he swung he shouted, "I'll catch up, go on."
A split second later he smashed into the Butcher and both went plummeting into the sea metal.

*Blur stands over the mountains of dead ninjas, with blood orbs rushing into his body*
Blur: That....was not pleasant...
*Sure, the others already passed this level, but Blur was not fast enough to get to them, so he had to pass this level by himself, immeadiatly, the door appeared and a keycard shot out of the ceiling*
Blur: finally, maybe we can get this going
*Blur walked out of the door and up the stairs, but the door was already open, and about 7 people were standing in the doorway*
Blur: Am....I missing something?
*Blur looked at the room with a sense of normalcy, mostly because he just slaughtered a bunch of ninja, and he could've sworn he saw one turn inside out, but with the flashbacks of the one who previously held these wepons pleguing him, he didn't know what he was seeing somtimes, but it only happened when certain breaks in battles started*
Alex: Oh, we just have to go though an obsticle course
Blur:...pfft, That's easy....My Father had to go through obsticles TWICE as deadly as these rustly things
Aidan: Than who was your Father?
Blur:....Sonic the Hedgehog!
*As Blur said this, he walked ahead of everyone and turned to them*

Valigarmander watched Grant wrestle the Butcher. A buzzing sound filled his reptilian ears and he looked up. A bandsaw was sliding down towards him on a metal limb. Quickly, he clove the mechanical terror into two with his weapon, razor-sharp steel cutting through rusty metal. The gears and pistons continued to grind around him, and Valigarmander was suddenly struck with the fear that he might be a tad too big to get through this room.
Without sparing another moment, he pushed his way past the rotating pillars and creaking gears. He made sure not to get his wings too close to the crushing mechanical parts, as he stomped his golden talons against the concrete floor. A shriek filled the air, and another bandsaw flew down from the ceiling. Valigarmander didn't have enough room to swing his trident, instead he caught the saw between the blades of his weapon. The mechanical device squealed as it tried to cut through, but the Trident of Tritoch proved to have a much stronger resolve. The metal arm creaked, and then fell limp. Valigarmander was able to walk beneath it with ease.
As he reached a junction, he looked ahead. There looked like a million ways to get to the exit. Turning, he went to the one that he might fit through, and walked into the metal corridor of shrieking metal devices and decapitated body parts.

Death was swirling all around him. Ushi'tora had seen this place before, but only in his nightmares. Everything seemed so familiar... but how? He had never been here before... or had he?
Ushi quickly shook such a ludicrous idea from his mind. He needed full concentration, not because of the swirling blades and gnashing gears, dodging those was like walking, he needed to concentrate on moving forward. He followed stealthily behind the others, his movements were going undetected so far...
Either way, this room was getting on Ushi's nerves... the sooner his escorts moved ahead, the better.

While Grant fight with the metallic gore monster and the rest of the group stood in front of the three, mixed feelings were present. Fang looked uneasy as the stench of rotting flesh filled his nostrils. The arachnoid assessed the rrom and thought of an easy way around it. Havik looked for the Berserker over the edge of the death house, but he could not find him. He heard the sounds of metal clashing below, but could not tell if it was the machinery or a battle.
Havik: I don't see him anywhere.
Alex: He said he'll catch up. He'll be fine.
Fang: I'm going to throw up.
Alex: That's nice. Okay, I think I got it.
The scorpion warrior walked forward and adressed the hedgehog.
Alex: How fast can you run?
Blur: What part of "Son of Sonic" didn't you get?
Alex: Right! Do you think you could speed up one of those gears really fast by running on them without getting crushed?
Blur: Can Ray Charles play?
Alex: Well, not anymore, but I get your point. Hopefully, if you speed it up fast enough, some of the bigger machinery will overheat and shut down. Fang, you try and blast some of the smaller blades.
Fang: If you insist.
Havik: What can I do?
Alex: I'm thinking...
Without waiting for a response, Havik ran forward into the mechanical death. He immediately began slashing cables and fan belts in half.
Alex: Okay, that works.
Aidan: So, what be your point in doin' all this?
Alex: If I can slow or shut down some of these contraptions we can get to the end alot quicker and easier. Okay, NOW!
The dragon manipulator fired a large blast of energy into the death traps, destroying some of the smaller ones as Alex had planned. Havik continued to slash and smash the fan belts. The arachnoid waited for Blur to do his part, but secretly wondered if the one called Gir'and Kris was really going to join them afterwards or if he had fallen victim to the butcher...

Valigarmander turned back. He thought he could hear the sound of his companions against the clanging machinery. The dragon had always been a loner. He hated company, yet loved it at the same time. But he didn't want to save anybody's life, and he didn't want anyone to save his. This thing was strictly business. Valigarmander wasn't going to start making friends when he could be killing monsters and finding treasure.
He turned back in front, but he stopped. The exit wasn't far off. He could see the rusty door hidden beneath the rows of churning gears and rotating pillars. He wanted to go, he wanted to just leave, but something kept him from moving.
Looking back, he sighed. This was supposed to be an expedition, a party traveling together through a dungeon. Even though he was revolted at the thought of getting chummy with the other fighters, he remembered his own sacred morals, which state that one shall never leave his comrades behind.
Slowly, he turned around and walked back. The others might need a hand navigating the maze.

Ushi'tora had been silently waiting for his escorts to make it through to the end. Once they made it, he felt some relief, that is until...
Fang: Hey, where's that big guy?
Alex: He's still back there with the butcher.
Fang: Well, we can't just leave him...
Alex: I'm sure he's fine, he can handle that Frankenstien's Monster wanna-be he took on.
Ushi wasn't so sure, the berserker was taking much longer than expected, and from what he saw earlier, the berserker shouldn't be taking nearly as long.
"..." After many seconds of internal debate, Ushi jumped from his hiding spot and headed back to wear he last saw the berserker. After dodging several gears and traps(but not nearly as many as before as some had been smashed) he finally came upon the scene of battle.
Butcher: Why yoo no scream? I kill many men like yoo!
Both were looking a bit worse-for-ware, they were very evenly matched in strength and insanity. Grant was having none of the Butcher's games, he wanted out of this place, too much metal-grinding on metal. He grabbed the butcher by the arm and attempted to throw him off what looked like a small ledge leading down to a meat-grinder, but the Butcher was, slightly, wiser than that.
*CRUNCH* The Butcher had gained the upper hand, throwing Grant into one of the many rusty metal pillars. Stunning him long-enough for the Butcher to get in close.
Butcher: Yoo die now. Yoo make good flesh-meets.
He slit Grant's shoulder, then licked the blood off of his hook.
Butcher: Yes, good flesh-meets.
He rasied his hook, he was going to make the coup de gras.
Butcher: Bye-Bye, meet! *SPLURCH*
Blood splattered everywhere, a scream rang-out, everybody within the gauntlet could tell something had happened.
Fang: That does it, i'm going back! You guys can't stop me!
Alex: I'll go with you, who knows what waits for us.
Fang: Finally see the light, huh? Let's move.
All the gears and saws seemed to have stopped, making the trip much easier than the first, what they saw shocked them.
Fang: What in the hell?
Alex: I can't believe it.
Grant lay there, covered in blood, the body of the Butcher lay on top of him.
Grant(suddenly jumping up): ... wha... what... WHAT!?
The berserker in Grant immediately told him to go nuts, but he soon calmed down after he realised what the situation was.
Fang: Did you do this? Pretty thorough job, not even his own mother could identify this carcass.
Ushi had already gone back to the end, the deed he had done forever to remain a secret.
Fang: Hey, where's that big guy?
Alex: He's still back there with the butcher.
Fang: Well, we can't just leave him...

Butcher: Bye-Bye, meet! *SPLURCH*
Blood splattered everywhere, a scream rang-out, everybody within the gauntlet could tell something had happened.
Fang: That does it, i'm going back! You guys can't stop me!
Alex: I'll go with you, who knows what waits for us.
Fang: Finally see the light, huh? Let's move.
All the gears and saws seemed to have stopped, making the trip much easier than the first, what they saw shocked them.
Fang: What in the hell?
Alex: I can't believe it.
Grant lay there, covered in blood, the body of the Butcher lay on top of him.
Grant(suddenly jumping up): ... wha... what... WHAT!?
The berserker in Grant immediately told him to go nuts, but he soon calmed down after he realised what the situation was.
Fang: Did you do this? Pretty thorough job, not even his own mother could identify this carcass.
Ushi had already gone back to the end, the deed he had done forever to remain a secret.

Valigarmander watched as the last of his comrades approached. Now that everyone was here, it was time to go. Alex slid the card through the slot and the door opened. It was a short climb up a winding stairwell before they came to the next door, the one leading to Level Three. Alex looked back at his allies, nodded, and opened the door. Valigarmander's eyes adjusted to see what lay inside the room.
Black. Nothing. The room was completely devoid of light. They couldn't see a foot in front of them. Only pitch dark.
The group remained outside the door, wary to enter the room. Walking through here would be like walking through it blind. Valigarmander was not worried, though. He pushed his way to the front, staring through the darkness. He tapped his trident onto the ground, and the blades suddenly illuminated, shining a bright light which surrounded the wyrm.
However, as he ventured further into the room, the sphere of light seemed to shrink. He looked around. It was clear this wasn't regular darkness. It was magic darkness, so powerful that even the brightest torch would have trouble breaking through. It didn't matter, as the trident granted him enough light to see just ahead of him, and he began to walk forward, warily.
