A Phantasy Star Part 17: To the Phoenix nest

Walking up a small dirt path, leading around in a spiral to the top, the party make their way. With General Mood slowly sobering up as they reach the top, standing at the edge of the cliff next to a giant nest.

General: I really should have packed some peanuts, or something! Damn I've got the munchies!

Fylec: Oh! I've got some grain and oats!

General: Not the same, though I'll take them anyway. Thanks!

As Fylec hands the items over, a loud squawk is overheard then a sudden booming wing stroke followed by a massive fifteen foot tall red Phoenix has landed upon the nest. It looks down at the party as it lower its massive head at them.

Jokesum: Whoa there, mighty Phoenix! We mean thou no harm.

Closing its big eyes and bowing, the Phoenix recognizes Jokesums intentions to be true.

Berd: Thou? Who are you and what have you done with our Jokesum?

Berd and Fylec chuckle at Berd's quip.

Jokesum: Joking aside, I'll ask the Phoenix if I can take one of their feathers from its nest.

Fylec: Yeah! You've got animal handling out the wazoo! Got for it!

General Mood munches upon the snacks as Jokesum bows at the mighty Phoenix.

General: Not going to lie, this *beep* is delicious!

Jokesum: Oh mighty sky dwelling Phoenix! May we sorry souls please take one of your feathers, we humbly appreciate you.

The Phoenix snorts then turns its mighty head towards a feather slightly protruding out of its nest. Bowing once more towards the Phoenix, Jokesum stays bowed as he makes his way towards the mighty bird's feather.

Jokesum: With all of my being, I humbly accept this offering mighty Phoenix! You shall always be the lord of the skies!

Attaching the feather to his back, as it is taller than himself, Jokesum continues to bow towards the Phoenix as he rejoins his party.

Berd: Well done! Now, where exactly do we find Madam Heathcliff?

Fylec: Good point, Berd-a-nator! We have all three items, perhaps we...

Fylec is cut off suddenly by a purple portal appearing near the path that they had taken.

General: I think...yeah! This must lead to her!

Jokesum: What gave it away, the purple smoke? I mean, that's how she left.

Berd and Fylec chuckle as the party walk on through the portal. Immediately upon exiting the portal, the party are met with a rotting stench that fills their nostrils.

Berd: Okay, yuck! What is this, mold city?

Fylec throws up as the team all then grow ill from the stench of the new place that they are in. As they look around, the team notice that they are within a very large mechanical looking room filled with lights and a tall column in the middle. The column itself has a running set of lights moving up and down the column.

Fylec: Patooie! Wow, wait! When the heck did that reality include metal in this quality?
