You all continued down to the sixth floor. 

Laios: So ... the sixth floor? 

Ruby: What's wrong with the sixth floor? 

Laios: Well, all that heat- 

Suddenly a chill breeze came by. 

Marcille: C-COLD! 

(Y/N): WHOA! 

Weiss: How did it get cold? 

Laios: It should be hot and humid! 

Chilchuck: M-Maybe we came out somewhere else? 

Laios: This is where the Red Dragon attacked us the first time. 

(Y/N): Well, the dungeon is shifting. So ... it would make some sort of sense. 

Laios: I wonder if Falin is alright. 

Blake: So, the Mad Mage had her become a Chimera by fusing with the Red Dragon. 

(Y/N): I think I heard her mention someone named Delgal but I don't know who that is. 

Chilchuck: I think I've heard of a name like that. 

Marcille: He was a king. The last king of the Golden City fell a thousand years ago. 

Ruby: REALLY?! So, maybe he and the Mad Mage were close. 

Chilchuck: But that doesn't add up. 

Laios: Yes, he appeared on the surface when the dungeon was discovered, turned to dust, and vanished. 

Yang: So you mean to tell me that bastard is making the dragon go around like some poop-sniffing dog to find a king who died years ago?! 

Laios: The previous king was assassinated right in front of the Mad Mage. Ever since, he's been afraid the same thing would happen to his son. 

(Y/N): How do you know about that? 

Laios: Remember when I went into those Living Paintings? I met him there. 

(Y/N): WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU TELL US EARLIER?! 

Marcille: YOU ALWAYS DO THIS! 

Laios: I just put everything together! Give me a break! 

Blake: Anyway ... the Mad Mage is an Elf ... so ... Marcille, do your people live for 1,000 years? 

Marcille: There are records of long-lived elves in the distant past, but now it's never more than just five centuries or so. 

Ruby: WOW! 

(Y/N): Well, maybe we can still talk to him. It's possible if we work through this understanding, he could listen to reason. 

Laios: It is worth a sh- 

Blake: Hey ... does anyone smell something? 

Blake followed a scent of food and then out of nowhere-

???: STOP!

Asahi of Shuro's party appeared. 

(Y/N): Wait, one of Shuro's retainers? 

Blake: What do you want. 

Asahi: I want your elf to get this spell off of me! 

Marcille: Spell? What spell? 

Asahi: Just look! 

Marcille: I can't know if you don't explain. 

Asahi rolled her eyes in annoyance. 

Asahi: There are two spells on me. One on my neck and the other all over. 

She removed her cover to show herself. 

Ruby: AWWW! SHE'S A CAT GIRL! Blake! You have a sister! 

Blake: Wha? We're not even from the same world! 

Ruby: I mean in spirit, not blood. 

Blake: Oh, right. 

She blushed and smiled awkwardly, embarrassed she didn't get Ruby's comment despite all they've been through together. 

(Y/N): So, she's a Beastman? 

Chilchuck: Engineered Beastman. They're made by using Black Magic to mix human and beast souls. 

Weiss: Sort of like a Chimera. 

Marcille: I'll do what I can. 

She got to work on Asahi. 

Asahi: Once you lift this, I'll leave. Don't try anything or I'll slit your throat. 

Marcille: Violent much? 

She then saw a star on the back of Asahi's neck. 

Time then passed... 

Asahi: Hey, do you have anything to eat? 

(Y/N): Hmm ... I think I might know what will help! Senshi! 

Senshi: Okay. 

You and Senshi got to work on cooking and- 

(Y/N): I present risotto made from mushrooms and cheese! 

Asahi: Who would eat crap like that? 

Yang: You know, if you don't want it. I can eat i- 

Asahi's stomach growled and she immediately began to eat it! 

She was licking the spoon and the bowl like crazy while also chewing like a ... wild animal. 

Weiss: Someone's got terrible table manners. 

Asahi: MORE! 

Weiss: Laios? 

Laios: Yes. 

Weiss: Did Shuro eat like that? 

Laios: N-No. He was refined and ... polite. 

(Y/N): Probably not around you. 

Asahi dropped the mushrooms on the floor. 

(Y/N): What was that? 

Asahi: What? I don't like mush- 

You knocked the spoon out of her hand. 

(Y/N): NEVER EVER WASTE FOOD! ALSO, YOU'RE HOLDING YOUR SPOON WRONG! 

Asahi: Hey, you can't tell me what to do, you're not my- 

The mark on the back of her neck activated and then suddenly- 

(Y/N): LOOK OUT! 

You shoved her out of the way. 

Then as it went to attack you, and then Team RWBY and Laios took it down! 

(Y/N): Sorry, if you continue to waste food like that, then you'll regret it. You never know when you'll die like that. 

Marcille: Also, don't move while spells are being undone. If that one had been nastier, who knows what would have happened. 

Asahi blushed at what you did. 

(Y/N): Come on, let's get you a new one. 

Soon... 

Ruby: So, why did you come with us? 

Asahi: I've been looking for a way to break curses for ages. I knew they were black magic, but I couldn't find anybody who used it. But then I saw what Long-Ears did. You made monster from a human and a dragon with black magic. And you people are going through the dungeon to break the curse on that lady! So, you know how you're going to do it, right?! So, you can break mine too! Come on! 

Marcille: I ... can't do that. 

Asahi: WHAT?! WHY?! 

(Y/N): Look at it like this. Picture the soul as an egg. It's usually the inside, the shell of a body, but when it breaks, it comes out and it never goes back to normal. A spell in this dungeon creates a thick membrane inside the shell, so even if the body is damaged, the soul won't leave. You and Falin have two sets of contents in one shell. So, you can't go back to how you were. 

Asahi: Then why are you all still- 

Laios: For one thing, we can't leave my little sister like that. She might kill the next adventure she meets, or they might kill her. We want to do something about this before then. 

Blake: Also, I'm sure if we go back, we'll be arrested for using Black Magic like that. 

Asahi: So ... then ... 

(Y/N): But, you've proven that you have no drive to kill. If you turn that around, then maybe even Falin might return to normal. 

Ruby: That's why we're after the Mad Mage. In a way, maybe you showed up, because you're supposed to come with us. 

Asahi: What? Don't tell me you're recruiting me. 

Chilchuck: Either way, you can't get back to the surface on your own. Was Asahi your name? 

Izutsumi: No, that's just a codename. My real name is Izutsumi. 

Ruby: That's a cute name! Hello Izutsumi! 

And so... 

Izutsumi was now tagging along as you guys moved through a tight crevice. 

(Y/N): Hey, don't lag behind guys! 

Yang: Hey, you're not the one behind you with a shorty. 

Chilchuck: I HEARD THAT! Could your butt be any bigger? 

Yang: I DID NOT JUST HEAR THAT! 

Marcille: HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE- 

Blake: IZUTSUMI! YOUR TAIL IS IN MY FACE?! 

Izutsumi: HEY! YOU EXPECT ME TO TUCK IT IN?! 

Soon you all got out into an open area. 

(Y/N): Whew, finally, you guys can stop screaming. 

Laios: HEY! This is where we first fought the Red Dragon! 

(Y/N): And we've come full circle. 

Senshi: You came all the way here on your last expedition? 

Marcille: For a long time, this was thought to be the deepest part, but recently they found a dor near here that seems to lead farther in. There's a design engraved on it, and they suspect it moves by magic. 

Laios: We came to get a copy of the design for the Lord, but thne- 

Senshi: You met the Red Dragon and well ... I don't even need to explain the rest. 

(Y/N): Luckily the big lizard is dead now. 

Ruby: Hey! I found some stuff here! 

Ruby pulled out- 

Laios and Marcille: OUR STUFF! 

The two were rummaging through it. 

Ruby: Whoa! Easy you two!

Marcille: The rest of our stuff has't been touched! Now we'll be warm when we 

You then saw Izutsumi taking some stuff. 

(Y/N): HEY! Drop it! 

She put her ears down and dropped a coin. 

Chilchuck: Talk about a badly trained beastman. No wonder you had a collar put on you. 

Izutsumi: Yeah, well at least I'm not a half-foot like you, Shorty. 

Chilchuck: WHY YOU! 

(Y/N): Guys come on! None of that! 

Senshi: HEY (Y/N)! UP HERE! 

You went up to Senshi as he found a fish stuck in ice. 

(Y/N): Fish! 

Senshi: I often caught those fish on the fourth floor. Did the water flow down from the upper floors and freeze? 

(Y/N): I bet. Hang on. 

You used Fire Magic to try and get it out, but then- 

(Y/N): WHOA! 

You were thrown off by a golem! 

(Y/N): A GOLEM?! DOWN HERE?!

Laios: That's not a golem! It's an Ice Golem! 

The Ice Golem let out a huge roar! 

Blake and Izutsumi: AGH MY EARS! 

A bunch of icicles rained down from the ceiling! 

Izutsumi ran over the creature, but didn't even see a weakspot. 

Izutsumi: How do I fight this thing? 

(Y/N): Go for the core! 

Izutsumi: Okay, and where is that? 

(Y/N): Uh ... 

You tried to sense its chi, but didn't find anything. 

(Y/N): OH COME ON! A GOLEM IS A LIVING THING! IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S AN ANDROID! 

Then it disappeared. 

(Y/N): Huh? IZUTSUMI! MOVE! 

Izutsumi: Why? What's go- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

She was punched in the air from the snow as the Ice Golem used that for cover! 

Weiss: Hmm ... ITTORYU: ICE BREATHING: EIGHTH FORM: ICE AGE! 

She attacked the golem and it stopped in the ice! 

Weiss: HEY! IZUTSUMI! USE ONE OF THIS ICE SPIKES! 

She broke one off. 

Izutsumi: Now what? 

Weiss: HIT IT IN THE HEART! I THINK THE CORE IS THERE! 

She then saw it clearly in the ice. 

Then she rammed it into the core and the golem shattered! 

Izutsumi: YEAH! HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT YOU STUPID ROCK! DON'T UNDERESTAIMTE- ACHOO! 

She was now shivering. 

Weiss: Yeah, not so high and mighty are you? 

Iztsumi: Sh-Shut up... 

(Y/N): Okay, Marcille, we need a Magic Circle fast! 

Eventually... 

You used Fire Magic on a Magic Circle that Marcille made so that everyone could get warm! And Senshi also made food! 

Ice Golem and Egg Custard along with Cooked Fish

Izutsumi got in close and as she tried to eat some of the fish- 

Senshi: HEY! 

He snathced it from her. 

Senshi: You can't eat without all of us. 

Izutsumi: WHY?! I was the one who- 

(Y/N): We eat together as a team! That's how we do it. 

Izutsumi: Ugh. 

She was sitting by herself as everyone ate, and the- 

Blake: Hey. 

Blake sat by her. 

Izutsumi: What? 

Blake: It must be hard for you. Well, I'm part animal myself. 

Izutsumi: No one calls you out for it. 

Blake: That's because the people I've befriended and fell in love with accept me for who I am. I don't know how your old party treated you, but we're not the same. If there is something you can't handle, we'll do it for you. Besides- 

She smiled. 

Blake: A stranger is just a friend you haven't made yet. 

She also gave her some of her fish. 

Izutsumi blushed and ate it. 

Izutsumi: (blushing hard) Th-Thanks. 

Blake: Anytime.
