"Alright....." Xikkuyo bowed her head uncertainly; she'd do her best, if Axel wanted her to work on it. She wasn't entirely sure what it was, but if he thought it was good..... well, then it must be useful. He liked everything she'd done so far, amazingly, so that just left control..... funny to think of actually needing to work on that, really. She'd never actually had enough power or strength for control to ever be much of an issue.

She couldn't help but gasp, though, at the sudden darkness; below ground like this, with no power, the blackness was absolute. Even Axel's fireball was little better than a torch, casting a warm circle of light around them; beyond that perimeter, the hallway faded back into murky shadows once again. She found herself automatically backing towards Axel, for safety's sake; they were stronger in numbers, after all, and he was so much more experienced than her..... Axel would take care of her, if anything happened. She knew it.

"What--what do you think happened?" What should they do?
