Team Aqua Musical had entered the dungeon after signing in at the entrance to the dungeon, and if you had to ask them how they were feeling about this... Well they'd probably say they were not confident

Brooke sighed not having his guitar with him as he looked about to maybe make an instrument with something as he sweated."Oh man... I miss my child scorpo, he's probably scared with out me!" He was about to turn away from the door and just run off to just stay there and play it

"Brooke! C'mon, we can't give up here," Koe stepped up to the door with a trembling hand and opened it to the first empty room

 "O-Ok, I'll go, just promise we can find me something to play, anything will do even if it's with my tail.." He commented following her his claw on her hand to help her remain calm on their first dungeon."So which way, left or right?"

Koe stepped into the room, she could hear her own footsteps. And it was really unerveing. It felt like something could pop out at any time

"L-L-L-Let's... T-Try the right door f-first..."

"O-Ok, it seems to have no lock on it so umm lets just open it on up you know?" Brooke said leading the way and going over to the door trying to open it, but his claws kept slipping off."Come on...j-just open, please?"

Koe nodded and walked over, opening the door shakily. It lead into a hallway that looked very much like everything else. She swallowed

"Oh man...."

"It's gonna be fine d-deary~" Brooke said putting a wing around her as if to protect her as they walked through the hallway, eventually coming to the next room and looked around the room seen a locked door in front, another guarded by a barbaroach then a third that lead to who knows where."So ummm which one, the front way is locked..."

"Whichever way, your fate spells doom!" A Slightly Psychic Barbaroach proclaimed

Koe jumped, ignoring the odd rock sculpture in front of them and instead turned to the Barbaroach

"W-What?"

"Ummm we're just peaceful musicians mister...please don't hurt us, but if you do, please leave Koe a-alone." He said standing infront of her shaking a bit not quite sure what move to use on him if he tried to attack them
[1/19/2015 6:49:08 PM] Lunar: "Ha! Don't lie! I am a Medium in Training! I know you are Explorers! Leave this place!"

Koe whimpered, "Hypnosis!"

Her eyes changed into a red fuzz. The Barbaroach dropped the spoon in it's mouth and fell asleep

She whined again, "I-I didn't mean too.... I panicked..."

"I-it's fine...maybe we can use his spoon, as for him, well i think he wasn't the smartest..." He said calming her down as he picked up the spoon, who knows what use it could be in the future as he turned back to Koe."So, left or right my deary~?"

Koe looked around, spotting the odd rock formation, "Hang on..."

She inspected the odd thing. It looked like the stalagmites were trying to form a wave rising out of the sea, but some of it formed into a kind of flat base, like something was meant to be there.

"What's this for..."

"Who knows...maybe this was used as a stage?" Brooke said looking at it as he hoped up onto it looking down laughing with his tongue out and tapping the spike of his tail on the ground like to a beat or something."Yeah this feels like a stage deary~!"

"Uhm... Doesn't look like a stage to me..." Koe felt around inside before feeling something like an indentation, "Hm... curious... I think something was supposed to be here.... Whatever it is, it's not here...."

Koe looked to the far left door, "Let's try looking for it in there," SHe said, walking over and opening the door

Brooke nodded gliding over to the door and going through looking about at the machinery that was old and rusted as his sight caught a bustershoot and something next to it shinning."We may want to be careful here, lets try not to go near it ok?" He said motioning towards the shoot and walking in more not noticing the barboach

Koe took a deep breath and stepped in, "Wow... Look at all this... What do you think it was used for?"

Brooke scratched his head with a shrug then poked at it a bit."I dunno, but it looks like it did something important or something that was fun." He commented titling his head looking over it more, wishing to know what this object would do or does

 "Well we're not researchers. So we might as well do our job as Explorers and explore..."

Koe began digging around through the machine parts, "Hmm... Maybe the thing is somewhere in here..."

: "I looks to be a disc on the top here..maybe if I?" He questioned placing his tail on it and started to have it go in circles on it to see if anything would happen as he blink starring at it

 "Hmm.... Lemme spin it," Koe said, kneeling down to spin the disc instead

It started to play a melody. A Sweet, Sweet melody

"Oh it plays music, maybe we can take this with us back to the researchers?" He said feeling happy and calm as the music filled up the whole dungeon

Koe looked around, "Maybe not. The Barbaroaches here must like it. Maybe they plan on repairing it someday, but for now, let's leave it."

She looked around, seeing the Fleshcap next to the Bustershoot

"We need resources... If we're carefull we can get that flesh cap..."

"Ummm I don't know Koe, it seems like a very bad idea, I don't want us to get hurt, plus look how close it is..." He said trying to block her from going over to it with a worried look

Koe picked up a sharp peice of metal, "As long as I don't touch it, I-I'll be fine.... Maybe...." She showed uncertainty in her voice before sighing

"Koe, no, you're not even certain, plus there maybe be other things we can get, that one can just be left, s-so yeah." He was walking towards the door the barboach was at still not noticing him yet

 Koe looked around and dropped the peice, "L-Let's go back.... There were th-the other rooms....

"Yeah, but lets try exploring this place here, who knows what we will find eh Koe?" He said his back to the barboach smiling at her

The Barbaroach at the door spoke up loudly, "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

"Eh...?" He said turnign and blinking and looking down as he patted the helmet with a nice rythme with a smile

"I SAID YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"  The Barbaroach yelled again, slapping Brooke with a Mud-Slap
".........................................." He blinked glaring down at the barboach as he raised both claws up abit well mad at this, he tried to play nice, but well that would have seemed to pass.

Koe leaped to Brooke, grabbing a claw, "B-Brooke! L-Let's just go.... Please!"

He sighed wiping the mud off his face sighing as he walked away with Koe, a bit upset that all he wanted to do was have a nice talk, but he was all rude and threw mud in his face

"I-I really wouldn't want to start a fight with any of them. L-Let's just go back... There's st-still that other room a-at the begining...

"F-Fine, but still that was so rude, I mean come on...but thanks for stopping me......." Brooke said holding onto Koe as they went back to the starting room and going to the other rooms.

 After traversing through the previous rooms, they soon entered the other door they hadn't picked.

It opened into a long hallway and at the end of it.... Crystals. Beautiful crystals

"Wow, what a lovely room, it matches your beauty Koe~" He commented going back to his useual self walking in and looking about for any materials as he took a good look about

"It... Is..." Koe said in awe. She walked over to one of the walls where a small crystal was on the ground. She picked it up and gently tapped it on the crystals, making music notes ring through the air

"Wow...

Brooke tapped his tail onto the wall smiling as he made a bit of tunes to it."We should take some of this for ourselves, to add on to our music eh~?" Brooke said looking about and seen some matiral on the ground and quickly going to pick up the fleshcap

 "I-I don't know if th-that's okay..." Koe said before seeing the door at the end of the hallway

"Another door?"

"Yeah, another door, but i think we should take three or four of these crystals...if we can." Brooke said going over and opening the door that lead to a bit of a creepy looking room."Well t-then...this is ummm yeah."
[
Koe, a small crystal in hand, walked over to the door, "U-Uhm... I-i don't know about this..."

"Who goes there!" A big voice boomed and a big fat Barbaroach appeared

"He looks like a plush pillow of yours Koe." Brooke said complimenting the fat barboacha as he chuckled a bit with a smile  going over to another material and picking it, this one was a spoolstone

The barbaroach glanced at Brooke before turning back to Koe.

"I shan't repeat myself thrice. Who goes there?"

Koe swallowed nervously, "I-I am K-Koe and th-that's Brooke... W-We're E-Explorers and we're looking for a way out..."

"Yeah, but the way out is locked up tighter then the strings to my guitar, you wouldn't happen to know where a key is, would you are plushy friend?" Brooke asked smiling at the barbaroach

"You need a special key for that. Not that I would ever tell you."

"Please? We really just want to get out of here. Isn't there anything we could do?" Koe pleaded

"Nope! Nothing!"

"How bout a filling meal?"

"... Nope!" The barbaroach turned to Brooke, "Though if the two of you are musicians.... Nothing is more filling than a song."

Brooke smiled taking the crystal from Koe and sat down with it as he started to tap on it with his claws making a beat to go with a song that koe knew very well."Sure we can do that for ya buddy, no need to worry~!"

"Wait a moment. There's special song that us Barbaroaches enjoy the most. We used to be able to listen to it but our machine for it broke down. If you can play that same song... I may be persuaded to tell you where the key is."

 "Oh that tune, lets see if I can." He said tapping in the rythem of the tune from the broken machine his tongue out as he focused hard on the rythme to that of the machine

"Wait. Is it possible to use the crystals from the other room?"

"...You may."

Brooke was focusing on the few bits that he heard as his tail added in with another part of it as he tried to recall the rest of it."Mmm I almost have it."

Koe ran back into the crystal room and picked a few ones that were laying around. She set them down from biggest to smallest and played the remaining notes of the song

"There... I think that's the rest..."

Bowser the kid: He nodded as he kept playing grining widely with a chuckle as he looked over at Koe."Now this is how true music is done my deary~"

 Koe smiled and began humming as the two began playing the song, having high notes and exhilarating parts

~Come let join together
In a home all our own
Where we live until we evolve
Into creatures of mud and water

We may be derpy looking
We may be weak
But give us a chance and we will last
Don't Test us

Electricity fear us!
Fire run away!
You cannot hurt us
So go on and flee away!

We are the ones of
Mud and Water
And we are brothers
We Stay together..."

The Barbaroach was silent at first before laughing a hearty laugh

"Well Done you two! That was a truly filling song! Well done."

 Brooke was smiling widely as he stood and bowed with koe to the barboach."Thank you~"

"Well, You two have proven your worth, and that you are only here to explore. Here," The Barbaroach raised it's head a bit, revealing a blue wispy patterned orb

"Take it quickly, It is difficult to stay up like this,' The Barbaroach strained

Koe quickly ran to take it and got out of the way before the barbaroach came back down

"Thank you very much for the song. You should know what to do with that. Those Crystal there are important as well. Take those."

Koe nodded and gave the ball to Brooke to pick up the crystals, "Thank you very much. B-Bye!"

"Ok, thank you very much sir." He said carrying the crystals and supplies in his wings in wonder of what this orb would be use for a key of some sort?

"Brooke, I think I know where this orb should go. C'mon!" Koe ran out the door and through several rooms until they arrived at the room with the odd rock formation, still sleeping barbaroach, and the locked door

 Brooke followed carrying all the things watching her been curious as he watched her with his head tilt

Koe put the crystals down an took the orb from Brooke, sliding it into place in the big slot between the waves. Then she put the crystals into slots that had indentations for teh crystals

The crystals began to make music and teh orb swirled around a bit, sounding like a music box. As the Music floated in the air, the rock formation rose a bit, revealing an intricate key in a slot

His jaw dropped abit in surprised as he flew up and grabbed the key."Well then that was very cleaver..." Brooke said with a sigh heading over to the door and unlocking the door and started to open it closing it quickly going pale."Oh man.............."

Koe looked a bit confused as to her partner's sudden apprehension. She walked over and crouched to look under the door, seeing the glow of the bustershoot

"Well That's just beautiful..."

"How the hell do we do this now?" He asked looking at her with a bit of a frown

"I-I don't know..." Koe paced a bit before looking up at the door again

"Wait... I think I got it... Open the door towards us."

He nodded opening the door towards them and stepping back a bit with a gulp

 Koe held her arms in a cross fashion

"Substitute!"

light wavered around her for a bit before a faded image of her appeared in front of her. The image solidified into a stuffed carbon copy of her

"Oh i see what you're doing, nice!" Brooke said with a cheerful smile

Koe carefully pushed the substitute of her closer to the bustershoot before shoving it forward and jumping backward

The substitute fell on the buster shoot and the trap went off, exploding itself to pieces. The substitute faded away

"Nice job" he said taking her hand and walking in looking at the ash covered spoolstone."Ummm you think it's still usefull?"

"Uhm... Maybe if we wash the ash off it..." Koe said and stepped into the room

"Hey... Do you smell roses?"

 "Yeah....I do?" He said picking up the stone and following koe curious to the smell

 Koe looked all around, trying to find the source of the smell but nothing

"It... Might be the walls or floor or ceiling or i don't know..."
 "Or the exit....here take the items i'll take point." He said giving her the items and leading the way prepared but a bit nervous

Koe took the resources and followed behind Brooke to the Exit door, which led outside immeadiatly to a.... Bed of Roses?

"Ummm uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Brooke was really unsure of what this was

Well that explains the Smell"
