(Shell within the void... know this is the end.)

You progress through the Ancient Basin, fighting many-a monster, progressing through the many bug-infested tunnels, on the way to obtain the Monarch Wings. You definitely don't get slaughtered 24 times and counting.

SLASH!

Make that 25.

After you reclaim your geo and soul meter, because you got absolutely OWNED, you scrub, you return to obtain the Monarch Wings and not get one tapped by a measly bug you absolute penguin.

A lifeless vessel is slumped on the floor.

Lightseeds rush towards the lifeless Vessel, infecting it and reanimating it, transforming it into...

BROKEN VESSEL!

Broken Vessel raises its nail and speaks

Broken Vessel: "Hm, are you another Vessel? We cannot seem to tell." Broken Vessel's voice switches

Broken Vessel: "Come on, we don't have all day."

Broken Vessel charges at you.
