Setting
A violently desolate landscape, war torn by constant battles of the past as shown by the battlescars the blackened earth holds. Remnants of vehicles and equipment lay scattered and the occasional scavenger bird can be seen in the gloomy sky.

The Door clicked open and slid down into the ground, the door opening to a split in paths. One went left, one went right. Also, right outside, was Aurelia standing over a knocked out Darmanitan.
Titania Brightsmith smiled wryly.
Fancy seeing you here again. Those Sableye roughed me up pretty good in the last room, but they were "nice" enough to give me all these Star Pieces. Just tell me you don't charge by the minute.
Titania Brightsmith dropped her bag and zipped it partially open so Aurelia could have a look for herself.
Aurelia (Mawile) turned around, her voice sounding very scratchy.
She then coughed and spit up something into a tissue, wiping her mouth afterwards.
Indeed, fancy seeing you.

Pardon that, spicy aftertaste, anyways, I'll just be taking those...I take it you want my help?
Titania Brightsmith shrugged.
Depends on whether you want these Star Pieces or not...the reason I'm packing all these is because those Sableye were only buying time for their friends to swipe my restoratives. Plus, I could use all the help I can get in a place like this...I'm sure even you could understand that.
Aurelia (Mawile) nodded.
Fine. Fair deal. I'm theoretically supposed to be working with Ahriman right now after what he offered me, but what you have is far more lucrative that betraying him is not an issue.
Keep this Comet Shard in exchange for the Star Pieces. If anything happens, or you come across any problems, I'll be able to communicate to you through my own.
This labyrinth Ahriman has is 6 floors and a large maze on each floor. If you're looking for who I think you are, they're likely on floor 6 going down. Each floor is accessed by a trapdoor on the one above. You must find the key for that trapdoor first.
Titania Brightsmith nodded.
Excellent. First, there's a fork in the road here, and I seem to remember that you offered to fellate Claw earlier. Well, he got burned back there, but it so happens that Ahriman has one, too. Your first job, therefore, is to start pleasuring him in a fairly obvious location so any guards don't think twice and possibly see me poking around for the trap door in the background.
Titania Brightsmith released Claw, who was still charred and in a fair amount of pain because of the barrage of Will-o-Wisps earlier.
Claw, Aurelia's gonna take care of you. I'm going to go nip off around the corner and see if I can't get my bag back.
Aurelia (Mawile) smirked as she took the burned Excadrill's claw in her hand, her taking a Full Heal out of her bag that she was supposed to hide away in the labyrinth. Instead, she'd use it on the Excadrill as she lead him to the perfect spot she knew she could use.
she'd state before she took off with him.Don't worry, I'll take perfectly good care of him Titania.
Titania Brightsmith nodded and took off at a brisk pace down the left fork.
Let me know if you two are done before I am through the shard. Like I said, I'm going to need all the help I can get.
The Maze began then. The path to the right lead straight to another fork, one way involved going through a door with a label that read "Enter At Your Own Risk". The other path continued around a curve.
If you went left, the path did the same thing, leading to a door or a curving path. This door said "Cell Block, Floor 1".

Titania Brightsmith frowned at the "Cell Block Floor 1" label. She didn't want to leave any of Ahriman's goods behind her, but taking on fights while a man down wasn't a very good idea to her. But she had to be strong...for the kids. Kicking down the door as before, she attempted to storm the cell block. This would probably be low-security, seeing as this level was closest to the surface. Higher security guards would be further down to make escape even more difficult, after all.
Inside the Cell Block was several doors, each one with a scroll on them much like before. At the end of the hallway (it was a dead end), was a solid wall with a window to look through, but no way to access the room on the other side.
From a distance, two shadowly figures could be seen inside, although the position both figures were in didn't imply anything cheery was going on.

Titania Brightsmith was in full "hero mode" right now. A victory here would not only set the ball rolling her way, it also meant that Ahriman would be down a goon and she would have at the very least a cheerleader. She sprinted towards the shadows, hoping to catch them in the act and have more time to analyze the situation than the perpetrator.
Inside the Room that was unaccessible at the moment, one of the trainers that went missing? It seemed like it. She was clotheless, had a collar around her neck, and was trying to reason with a Cryogonal that nicked her with a slash and left the room, closing the door as a lock occured, leaving her inside.
The nick merely left a nice little print on her skin, and luckily it did not bleed. She'd go to the corner and start crying next. No sound could be heard in the room though, soundproof walls the likely culprit.

Titania Brightsmith was very, very sad that she couldn't help the poor girl somehow. She glanced around, looking for a way around while wondering whether this was the same Cryogonal that gave her so much grief in the past. Bomber squawked in righteous anger, but the room was apparently otherwise bare, with only windows to where the actual prisoners were held.
Titania Brightsmith had a thought occur to her. If none of them looked distinct from each other, then if she read one of them, she would have read most of them. Thinking that they were all the same was a rather dangerous assumption, after all, but they were probably formatted in the same way even if the content had minor variations.
Titania Brightsmith knelt down while Bomber made sure nobody, especially that Cryogonal, attacked while her attention was elsewhere, and read a sample note.
M (Beheeyem) apparently wrote this one.
Interesting detail. How did Ahriman obtain this?
Journal journal listen to me
Ahriman has grown admirably. For an abandoned child whose parents rejected him, he is healthy smart cunning and the most adorable thing ever. Taking care of him has been great fun but I finally found a new pack for him to become a part of.
He seemed sad to go but I told him it'd be alright and that being with his own kind is far better than being with me. So we parted ways. I still sometimes wonder what became of him with that pack. Perhaps he found a mate? That'd be a nice thought...makes me wish I could find one sometimes...
...that's a story for another time.
Journal journal I finish speaking to thee M (Dr.)
Interesting detail. How did Ahriman obtain this?
Titania Brightsmith was more than a little miffed at this bad punctuation. In went the commas: After each of the mentions of "journal" (4 entries) after "listen to me" and "speaking to thee", after "healthy" and "smart", and finally, after "great fun" because of the presence of "but" being used as a conjunction. She wasn't wholly sure of all of them, but this was a good starting point.
Titania Brightsmith cursed herself for not remembering her English teacher well enough, focusing too much on what she wanted to do and not on what she had to do to get there. The commas between the double journals did look excessive...in went one before the other "but", and the second was relocated as the Oxford comma after "cunning" to correct the passage. Who would have thought grammar would be the key to saving someone's life?!
With proper punctuation, the door slid down, opening the entrance. Inside was a young girl curled up in the corner sleeping. She appeared to be another captive.
