"Uh huh. Gotcha. Anyways, looks like we got something in the centre of the cave here. Follow me."
The two walked up the steps, then crossed over the platform which lead to the centre piece of the room. In the centre of the circular platform was a pedestal which had a box on top of it. The box was black, but an icy coloured white gave out through its cracks. There seemed to be two key locks on both sides of the box.

Cannon followed him, his heltem scanning the box.
-
There seemed to be a significant source of power coming from it. And is thermals showed that the object inside was completely black. Meaning whatever was inside was extremely cold. "I'm gunna take an educated guess and say this is what we're looking for." Alex put.
-
"Probably. It's energy readings are off the charts." Cannon agreed.
-
"Alright...let's try getting these locks off. Any ideas?" Alex asked Can
-
Cannon pulled out his saber, which was made of nearly indestructible beskar iron. "I can try to pry them off?"
-
"Don't see why you couldn't try." Alex answered.
-
Cannon stepped up and wedged the blade behind the lock. He then strained his strength in an attempt to break it.
-
The lock creaked, but it wouldn't budge. After a good try, the lock remained unhindered. "Well...looks like we'll have to find the damn keys then!" Alex exclaimed as he pointed to the doors on the left and right. "My money is that the security measures made back in the day have the keys in both of these doors. One for each room."
-
"Which one should we try first?"
-
"Right is right, right?" Alex said as he walked towards the door on the right.
-
"Um... Right?" Cannon followed, resheathing his sword.
-
The two stopped in front of the large door, and alex turned its ancient knob. He pushed it open and icicles fell from the ceiling and crashed around them as he did so. He crept in, with Can behind him. Inside was a cubical shaped room. At the end, there seemed to be a gothic looking statue with its hand extended. It had the keys hung on its ring finger, as if it was offering the two to take it. "Whoo. That's pretty creepy." Alex admitted.
-
"Don't blink?" Cannon joked, not liking the looks of it.
-
"Haha no kidding. Holy shit that terrifying." Alex said as he approached the statue. "At least we got the first key..." He commented as he took the key off of the ring finger. Suddenly, the door behind them had bars cover it, and it froze completely in ice.
-
"We should have seen that coming..." Cannon commented, shaking his head slightly.
-
"Ya, that's a cliche move at this point." Alex remarked as well. Suddenly, the two could hear groans coming from the other side of the wall on their left...
-
Cannon raised his rifle to his shoulder. "What was that?"
-
"Don't know. Maybe it was-" Suddenly the wall where the noise came from completely collapsed. Coming from the wall were icy blue decayed figures with popped pale eyes and long sickly teeth. "Oh shit! Fire! Fire right now!"
-
Cannon opened fire on it, sending a barage of plasma bolts.
-
Alex took out his desert eagle, which shined a blue silver in the ice cold room. He fired at the creatures as well, with only head shots to his name. The creatures seemed to go down immediately from Can's shot, but they kept coming out from The wall...
-
"Back up!" Cannon shouted to Alex, sprinting towards the creatures. He activated his wrist flamethrower, spraying the creatures with a cloud of fire.
-
The flames almost immediately turned them to ash as alex backed up. It had an astounding effect on them. It wasn't long until they were completely exhausted. Then, alex cursed. "Shit. Shit, shit shit!" He said. He seemed awfully pissed off.
-
Cannon glanced at him. "You alright?"
-
"No! Because this is the second time I've seen these bastards, Can!"
-
"And? We killed them."
