Flenxes.
Tyler took the lead to enter the tower. ''Don't you think someone is missing?'' Amy asked. ''Terry!'' Lith exclaimed causing Radar to jump out of his horns. ''O...sorry to tell you this. He got kicked out.'' Tyler told them with loath and disdain clearly spelt over his face. ''A moment of silence for our fat brother Terry-Fatty Kale.'' Lith saluted. Vorden rapped him hard on the head. ''What was that for!'' Lith exclaimed. ''Will you guys stop shitting about and get in there!'' The group quickly entered the tower.

The creaking and shifting of rocks announced the closure of the giant doors of the tower. Light crystals illuminated a spacious, empty room as big as football pitch. Weird sounds could be heard in the room but they couldn't see who or what was coming and where it was coming from. The sounds got louder as the creature or creatures got nearer the group. The sounds seemed to becoming from all nook and cranny of the room.
Blue glowing eyes, humanoid and six five feet tall creatures surrounded the group. The weird sounds they were hearing seemed to becoming from these creatures when they move. ''Flenxes!'' Amy exclaimed. The so called ''flenxes'' attacked the group without warning. They were dark silver in color and moved pretty fast which was obvious for their slim structure. They moved in sync and attacked the group from all angles.
Everyone in the group took battle stances to wait for the enemy but the enemy did not seem to be attacking. It looked like they were observing the team and looking for the right moment to pounce on them. Lith, basically losing patience rushed towards the one close to him, sword flying behind him. Gripping the sword with both hands, he slashed fiercely at the flenx. His immediate attack took the flenx by surprise and cut its left arm off. But, the creature swiftly caught its and attached it back to its joint, fixing it in place. It then threw a punch with its right hand. Lith dodged successfully only to be met with another one from the left arm. The blow hit Lith squarely in the face but it wasn't powerful enough to break his nose.
''Re-attachable limbs and fast reflexes? What are these things!?'' Lith exclaimed as he dodged a barrage of kicks and punches. ''Your brother is seriously a maniac.'' The others joined in the battle against the flenxes. One for one; the real battle had began. The flenxes proved to be very agile and annoying with their fast reflexes and speed. ''What exactly are the ''Flenxes''! Die you bitch!'' Lith shouted. He was the only one fighting and talking among them. ''Flenxes, humanoid robots powered by dexts. Their weakness is their joints and core. Destroy the core and they're dead.'' Amy explained while using her water skill, Water Serpent to keep the bot she was fighting in place. ''Thank you!! Why didn't you say that before?!'' Lith retorted. ''Hmph!''
