"There straight ahead, head through the path between those large buildings. If you stick to you you should eventually see it, its this big shine looking thing. It's hard to describe, but I have a really strong feeling that's where we need to be." With that the stone was passed off, they had a plan, and they had a bit of direction towards the altar. Zero nodded to Alva and tried to reassure him with a confident look but they didn't have time to try and make this seem like it was going to be fine, this was in fact going to be difficult, no matter how you look at it. "Whoa, this is pretty scary. Hey, thanks for believing in me, even if it's just a little." Zero just smirked as he watched Alva and his DA Wynn prepare themselves and then dash off at a good speed, one Zero would not have been able to even come close to. It gave him more confidence that the plan was going to work as he saw the skill and efficiency with which Alva maneuvered through the huge amount of constructs that tried to stop him in his tracks. Watching wouldn't help Alva though, Zero needed to try and get to the altar with as many others as he could because when Alva got there they needed to be ready to fight a ton of these creatures to defend the stone while it was being taken care of by the altar and he was sure it would be a hard task. So he turned back to his comrades, especially Maria who seemed to be the least likely one to make it to the altar in a quick manner, her speed was low, though Zero's wasn't very high either. He decided to make sure she came with him though, not only out of the kindness of his heart of course, she was a healer and having her by his side would be well worth slowing his speed a tab as they went for the altar.
He took a deep breath and looked to Ceri, "Alright, I suppose here goes nothing huh..." he said with a smile, one that was returned by Ceri as she walked over to him, a little off her guard now that Alva was far away and all of the constructs were going for him and not the rest of them, meaning they only had to get to the altar which wouldn't be that terribly difficult. Zero turned and grabbed Maria by the hand, "Come on now, we need to get you over to the altar, I bet Alva is going to need your services by the time he makes it there." he said with a wicked smile before taking running in the direction of the altar, or where Alva had told him the altar was, which he trusted, though he didn't really have a choice since there was no other lead to go on. As he began running that way, even without the constructs actually attacking him it was still a bit difficult to avoid the mindless drones as they ran right for and past Zero, Maria, and their DA's. He even had to blast a few of them out of the way on several occasions as they made their way to the altar. His mana was still going down and although he hated to think about it he may be a little pushed for mana by the time he made it to the altar, hopefully he would have a second to recover some before Alva made his entire trip around and back.
With that thought in mind he pushed on and made it to the altar, a bit of a run but without the attacks from the constructs it wasn't bad, he just hoped the others would get moving, they needed as much strength as possible for when the last part of the dungeon was initiated. Now that him and Maria had arrived though he let go of her hand and shot a smile her way, "Well then, looks like all we have to do is wait for the party to start..." he said taking a deep breath and looking at the altar, this was where there last stand would be. He looked away from the altar, in the direction Alva had run off and presumably the direction he would approach from, he didn't know how long he would have without having to fight but he was trying to relax, trying to let some of his mana come back before the battle commenced. He looked to Maria, "You should probably find a suitable place to setup, make sure you stay away from the front lines... If there is even a line..." he muttered the last part to himself, he hoped they would be able to keep the constructs at bay but he had no clue if once the fighting started whether or not they would be able to keep them back or if it would just be a frenzy, he was hoping for the former, no matter how less likely it was. With him in position, Maria dragged along with him, it was up to Alva, their entire plan pinned on his ability to lead the constructs away, get away from them, and make it to the altar with the stone. He hoped the man would succeed.
