The two Konka Rars stared at each other.
"What..." they began simultaneously, pointing at each other with their respective bony fingers, pausing.
"Never mind," they said once more. The 'real' Konka Rar turned to Eximo. "And what are you doing here? Did I not order you to..."
His sentence was interrupted by his counterpart blasting him with a laser. "Eximo is well aware of its orders. You need not remind it."
The second Konka Rar glanced at the vacuum cleaner, dodging a retaliatory laser from the other lich. "You do recall your orders, do you not?"
There was a pause.
"Affirmative. This unit... will continue to follow orders." It headed down the stairs carefully, using its arms for traction. One of the Konka Rars faded, moments before a pillar of fire erupted where he had been standing.
The remaining lich turned to his other surprise guest. "And just who are you?"
Lutherion cackled. "Oh, the stories I have for you. Let's get down to business, shall we?"

Aeon heard a thumping sound on the stairs above him. Eximo is after me, he thought. But it probably can't move very well on the stairs. I may have a chance to get a headstart...
He reached a landing which branched off into a corridor. He ran down it, and found four skeletal warriors ahead of him, each with a mechanical arm and legs. They spotted him, and began advancing.
Concentrating, Aeon summoned a holy sword, reasoning it would be effective. He advanced, readying his blade...
And suddenly, a blast of energy appeared from nowhere, vaporizing the cybernetic skeletons. Aeon blinked, and looked for the source of the strange beam.
A robed man walked over, greeting him with a smile.
"You looked like you had the situation well in hand, so I had no reason to help you. So I did!"
If he wasn't in a hurry, Aeon would have stared at the newcomer in disbelief. As it was, he simply resumed running. The strange man followed him, for no reason that Aeon could discern.
