Chero remembered the first time they made it to this room.
Chero, Dino and Hime stood in the room. It was clean with only one number on the floor, a red three. Chero looked at the wall behind the blob like monster.
“Is…Is that a key?” she questioned.
“It’s a key!” Dino exclaimed.
“I’m sorry.” Hime said, “I can’t use my arms anymore, but I am fast. I can distract it with my feet. So, you two get the key, ok?”
“Dino, did you hear what Hime just said?” Chero asked.
“It’s too loud to hear anything, but I read Hime’s lips just now. You said something too, Chero?” Dino replied.
“Yeah…Hime…please…” Chero said.
“Yeah!” Hime said, running towards the monster.
The past faded. The monster stood right before Chero.
“I’m sure this is right!” She sobbed, “What am I going to do?!”
“CHERO!” Jenny cried.
Dante grabbed his sword to move, but Jenny launched herself at the monster. Dante quickly joined her and helped push the monster back from Chero.
“This isn’t going well,” Francis frowned, joining the fight.
“I really wish my watch would work!” Kiki complained.
“W-we’re too late…”Chero muttered, tears streaming down her cheeks.
“CHERO! GET BACK!” Tsukino cried.
Chero felt numb, “Wh-what am I going to do? Did I do something wrong? The key! The key! There is no key!”
“Chero! Get out of the way!” Dino called.
“Wh-what am I going to do…?!” Chero asked herself.
