And so he finally got into the PQ.
His name was Shaoken, and yes, his friend Mace had managed to get them in. They easily succeeded the first few tests in order to get to the great evil the red sign spoke of. Eventually, after fifteen minutes, they solved a riddle on the 8th floor and a crack in the wall appeared.

“Okay.” said Shaoken. “Whatever you do, dont-“

he was cut short. Alishar had appeared.
Two of their members, both Clerics then ran straight ahead but were instantly flattened by the enormous creature.
“No!” said Mace. “Our healers! How will we do this! I have no potions to cure me! I’m outta this one!” Mace then used the technique darksight and hid in a corner.

Shaoken looked for the other two members but realised they had disappeared.
“They must have run away…” grumbled Shaoken to himself. “Looks like it’s up to me!”

Shaoken and Alishar began to fight. Although strong, Shaoken possessed the legendary Maple Impaler, and with it’s powers of +30 accuracy, he managed to make every hit count.

Alishar soon got angry and summoned strange looking creatures. “What is this?” he said to himself. He then fought them off but ALishar kept summoning more and more! Then ALishar did a technique. “I can’t move!” he said. “It’s as if whatever I do, my techinques won’t work! And I can’t even hit the opponent.” Shaoken was desperate.

The room was now FILLED with the creatures. Shaoken was about to run up to the sergeant and find a way out when Mace appeared on the top of a ledge.
“Shaoken! This is all i have!”
he dropped one All-cure potion.
Shaoken immediately picked it up and drank it. He jumped onto the ledge and stared Alishar on the eyes. Alishar shot an attack at Shaoken but he jumped up and narrowly avoided it, and then came crashing down right inbetween Alishar’s eyes. He had impaled him.

Alishar was defeated and there Shaoken stood, on top of the ledge, surrounded byt he millions of creatures beneath him. He turned around.
“We did it Mace!”
But it was too late. Mace was on the floor. It seemed that he had been hit by Alishar’s final attack. Mace lifted up his thumb. “Good… job…” He then collapsed.
“NOOO!” yelled Shaoken, with tears in his eyes. “Everyone… sacrificed themselves… for me..”
But it was over. He knew what must be done. He strode out of the room and headed towards his next destination – The time Sphere. He had to reverse Mace’s death.

Shaoken was only LV46 when he solo’d Alishar
