Mana then walked up to bridge that seemed to be guarded by some kind of Mechanical Beast. Luckily for her, the beast was facing away from her. So Mina swiftly skipped towards the ronot. "Excuse me" she inquired. The machine suddenly became alive, but it only rotated it's spheric head in much effort to face her. The robot spoke: "Ummmm...eeerr... yess, you must pay the to...!!... AAARRGGHH A GHOST!!"

Mina instantly remembered that her blue glowing hair was her only visible characteristic in the dark caves, thus making it look like some kind of floating creature. The mechanical beast started to cry out in desperation. Mina just stood there and started to laugh: "Afraid of a girl huh?!!?" Mina approached the robot, who in turn peered at her in curiosity. "AAARRGGHHH A GIRL!!!!!" shouted the mechanical beast as it ran away crying. "Gee" Mina thought to herself shrugging in a bewildered amusement.
