The two entered the village hall and are introduced to broken furniture and numerous skeletons with holes in their bodies scattered everywhere
The two goes to a nearby skeleton, it was a skeleton with a fist sized hole in it's left chest
"A fist sized hole in the skeleton's chest, it probably immediately killed this guy as the hole passes through the location of the heart" said Captain Tyg "what do you think killed it?"
"I don't know, but i do know that the hole probably came from something very strong" said Kurai "maybe the Vessian's we killed on the way here is the ones responsible or the one who summoned them"
"Probably" said Captain Tyg before staring at the skeleton a little closer for further examination and suddenly felt that it was staring at him, weirding him out "umm...This skeleton must have been killed at least a few months ago or years ago"
As Kurai looks at Captain Tyg examining the skeleton he suddenly felt the temperature lowers by a little bit and feels like like they were being watched from all sides
"Captain, I recommend upping your guard up, for some reason i'm suddenly feeling like we're being watched from all sides" said Kurai
Captain Tyg stands up and the two position themselves in the middle of the village hall behind each other, the two slowly circles around examining the area for a possible ambush
Suddenly the two hears multiple pulling sounds from above, the two looks up to see 6 skeletons holding bows made of bones, aiming at them, once the two saw them the skeletons started releasing their arrows
"S**t, there up above! run and find cover!" said Captain Tyg while dodging the skeleton's arrows
"There's no cover here everything's broken" said Kurai before blocking two arrows with his sword
Suddenly every skeleton's eye socket around them started to glow a purple light and awakens, all of them stood up and their hands transform into sharp bone claws, they looked at the two for a second before running towards them
"We're surrounded!" said Kurai before looking at the skeletons "Analyze!"

("System can you detect how many skeletons are surrounding us" asked Kurai)
[23 skeletons including the 6 above you]
"Kurai, you handle the ones with the bows" said Captain Tyg "I'll hold the ones running towards us"
"Got it" said Kurai before running towards the stairs while dodging the skeleton archer's arrows
The skeleton archers starts to take more arrows which Kurai took the opportunity and used his sword to vertically slice one of the skeletons then he cuts one of the skeleton's head off
The remaining four skeleton archers readied their bows once more and fires it at Kurai, Kurai cuts every arrow that comes at him then dashed towards two skeletons that were together, he used his sword to stab one of them at the forehead then used his free hand and punched the other skeleton in the head, easily breaking it's head
Kurai runs to the second last skeleton archer and uppercutted the skeleton's head off
As he does this the last skeleton was able to reload an arrow in time and aims it at Kurai's back and released it hitting Kurai's right back
"ARGHHH" screamed Kurai groaning in pain
Kurai grabs the arrow in his back and takes it out while groaning in pain once more, he looks at the arrow to see how deep the arrow hit him and sees it was half of arrow's tip
"*breathes heavily* My peak human stage 5 physique is really saving my a** time and time again" said Kurai before taking out SCP-127 from his inventory and shooting the last skeleton in the head with it
Kurai sits down and places SCP-127 back in his inventory, after taking a couple deep breaths to recuperate , Kurai looks around and sees a dark purple door at left side of the second floor
Kurai stares at the door for a few seconds before decided to go down the stairs to help the Captain so they can go inside the door together, he goes down and sees Captain Tyg fighting 9 of the 17 skeletons as the other 8 skeletons had their heads cut precisely by the Captain
"I'm here Captain" said Kurai before running towards the Captain's position
Kurai quickly reaches the Captain's position and the skeletons encircled them, the two fights the remaining skeletons side by side
Kurai jumps forward towards 2 of the skeletons and cuts off their heads in one strike
One skeleton was able to go behind Kurai and is about to attack him, Kurai notices the skeleton but before he could counter Captain Tyg stabbed the skeleton's head from behind
"First it was you who told me to up my guard up, now it's vice versa" said Captain Tyg before slashing a skeleton behind him vertically in half then sheathing his sword "there's five more skeletons remaining, I'll take 3, you'll take 2 got it?"
Kurai nodded his head and goes towards two skeletons who started rushing towards him
Captain Tyg stood still while 3 of the last remaining skeletons rushes towards them, when they were 3 meters near him, "Sword Flicker!"said Captain Tyg before unsheathing his sword and suddenly appeared behind the three skeletons then sheathed his sword once more
Suddenly the three skeletons stopped moving and splits into multiple small bone pieces
Captain Tyg looks at Kurai and sees him slice the two remaining skeletons's head into two pieces, he then goes to Kurai's position
"Is that all of them?" asked Captain Tyg
"Probably not" said Kurai "I saw a dark purple door above us there's either nothing there, skeletons, or the one who is responsible for what happened here is, and I bet you it's probably the third option"
"Then what the hell are we here waiting for, let's go" said Captain Tyg
"Well alright then" said Kurai
The two headed upstairs and arrived at the dark purple door, the two looked at each other and nodded before opening the door and going inside it....
