((Ooog... Don't feel like explaining why I haven't posted in ages.))
((*comes back sometimes later* Gack! I forgot to hit submit after all this freakin' time!!))
The strength behind unusual attack was quite formidable. The dragon seemed to have flinched from the pain being inflicted upon it. That is, until it roared out, and lunged forward, adding more power to Companion's attempted spring.
Farid: Oi!
Hikari: What're you doin' with attackin' the poor fella?
Farid: Yeah! I bet ye wouldn't like it if sum scalywag barged into yer house.
Hikari looked at Farid and blinked.
Hikari: Hey, what's with you being all buddy-buddy?
Farid: What are ye talkin'?
The dragon unfurled its wings completely, and leapt into the air. With powerful beats, the dragon took into the air. After gaining a decent amount of distance, the dragon took in a deep breath. Hikari took notice of this and immediately dived into the debris.
The dragon allowed air to escape its lungs and spewed out a rain of fire at the platform. |

Companion: "Then we either have to run..."
He pointed up... Far, far, far upward to the hole in the ceiling that didn't seem very easily accessible...
"... Or fight! And frankly, I'm not one for hasty retreats!"
In a display of absolutely blind and reckless courage, the stranger fired his leg like a piston, taking off into the air over the stream of fire and towards the dragon. He retracted both arm and leg and prepared to fire them both at the dragon, in some kind of strange rocket-punch-kick-like offensive maneuver. It took a good bit more than a few second's exposure to molten lava to melt solid steel. The intention of the maneuver was to hit the dragon and hopefully spring off of it and back to safety with the rest of the group.
The priest, in the meantime, ran to a safer location and pulled out a small, black bible... |

Glenn: I may do a lot of reading, Miss Hikari, but I've never come across a book with any factual information about dragons... So your guess of what to do is as good as mine. |

Maya looked up at the dragon, her eyes wide.
Maya: "Uhmm... not really..."
Maya REALLY wished she had something she could use, but she couldn't get near the dragon, unless she could walk on lava or something. |

((Sorry for not posting, just had some Naruto fest turned Four Sword Adventures fest 'till five AM))
The dragon landed on one side of the platform, all four legs planted into the ground. Magma was slowly trickling off the beast's scales and piling around as it lumbered towards the group.
Hikari took a huge gulp.
Hikari: I reckon no one's got any bright ideas on how to get outta here?
Farid: Same way we came down?
Hikari: .... Wait wait wait! Since when did we find out your name, mister?
Farid: !!
Hikari: That's right. I've got them captions on.
Farid: Uh... Dunno. Ye gotta problem with it?
Hikari: I appreciate formal introductions.
Farid: Very well then. Me na--
Hikari: Except I'm not caring anythin' about you, ya under-handed--
The dragon let out another roar, in which both Hikari and Farid glared at the dragon.
Hikari & Farid: Shut up!
Of course the dragon didn't take this sitting down. Its throat expanded, putting some special organs to work. A steam of fire was set loose, sending Hikari and Farid to duck out of the way of the attack.
Hikari: Hey, ya useless folk! Got any bright ideas on how to get out of this? |

Maya: "Ouch..."
Maya got up slowly, not really used to falling so often in one day. She looked around and noticed how incredibly hot it was. She noticed what Hikari was talking about and the giant beast.
Maya: "You're kidding me..." |

Hikari: I don't think the ceilin' will close up... that's a mighty big hole up there... But how are we gonna get out of here..?
There was a soft rumble echoing about, mixing in with molten bubbling noises. All of a sudden, a large, dragon-like being spewed out of the lava. It flew through the air with great, leaping bounds, propelling itself by flaming wings that protrude from its back like spears from hell. Every jet of white-hot death that erupts from its mouth scorches all that it touches. Forests have died beneath its heat. Entire lakes have been reduced to dried up holes in the ground with a single breath. They call it Volvagia.
Hikari: That description seemed mighty fishy! I haven't heard of no lakes 'round these parts.
.... A firery, beast flies out of the lava. It roars, breathes fire, and looks pissed. There's a broken sign laying around saying something about "Beware of Valoo", but Hikari couldn't decipher the ancient looking text.
Hikari: That sounds a bit better. Ahem.. Eek! Everyone look alive! |

A metal arm, with mysterious stranger and priest friend attached, lowered slowly onto the platform. ONE of them had the good sense to grab onto the catwalk before it exploded around them. The other was clinging on for dear life.
Companion: "I'm alright. I think he is too... But more importantly, we need to find out where we are. I'm wagering with a bit of effort, I could get us out of here if need be, so long as that hole in the ceiling doesn't close up any time soon. If it does, we're trapped..." |

((*gives points to JDavis for discovering a Warp Pipe*))
Mule Joe was immediately angered by being doused by water. Gorons were never fans of water, no matter how small the dosage. He seemed so angry that he was pouring out steam..
Hikari: Wait, that's not coming from the goron...
Hikari looked over at the hole. There was steam billowing out the hole. The amount of steam was growing in intensity. The cracks around the hole began to surge through the ground.
Hikari: Glenn.. If there were a reservoir here, wouldn't the miners who've been minin' here have had some kinda pumpin' system goin'?
Hikari was taking a few steps back, not wanting to know what was going to happen. She bumped right into Farid's chest, immediately confusing her.
Farid: Oi! It be a lot wiser if ye actually looked before ye ran.
Hikari: Hey, ya big oaf! The ground's gonna be all collapsin'-lik--
Before Hikari could finish her sentence, the hole below the catwalk had erupted into a huge amount of rock and lava. The ground below everyone's feet had given way and sent everyone, including those on the catwalk, plummeting through the mountain.
Hikari opens her eyes after a while. A cough escapes her mouth as she sits up, moving a few rocks off of her body. There was a faint glow lighting up the cavern she had fallen into.
Hikari: What... happened...? Why is it so... hot?
Hikari's tired eyes wandered around. She was on a very large platform, perhaps a good 40 yards wide. Around the platform was a nice moat of lava.
Hikari: Hooeee... Ah.. Is everyone alright?
Mule Joe was not found anywhere, but the mining structure, atleast its remains was found scattered around on the ground. |

Companion: "I guess that'd do... But what are we supposed to do? Dump a bucket of water on him?"
A thought bubble appeared above the tall man's head as he envisioned an animated crayon drawing of himself stretching his arm down into the underground reservoir with a nearby empty bucket, raising up a pail of water, and extending his arm again to dump it over the Goron's head... Suffice it to say, it didn't sound like much of a Pokemon move. |

Glenn: We can't exactly use them ourselves, though, since Mitra'd be caught in the explosion. Besides, Gorons aren't much bothered by fire... Water on the other hand, can be useful against them, but it's not exactly in great supply anymore. Except... Underground reservoirs! *looks at the hole in the ground* I wonder...
Glenn picks up a nearby rock and tosses it down the hole. A moment later, a splashing sound is heard. |

Companion: "But I am!"
A steel arm rocketed down at Maya and grabbed her by the arm, fingers extending into a comfortable grip that ensured she wouldn't fall, while not being strong enough to break bone. The priest and the fellow had finally caught up to the group, with the tall man lifting Maya back onto the catwalk. It wasn't going to be safe for much longer though, what with the infrastructure of the mine being destroyed by the moment.
Priest: "We're going to need to stop that man from throwing those explosives at us if we want to rescue your friend. If he's pulling them from the ground, the best thing we can do is make sure he can't keep pulling them!"
The priest pointed to various locations around the mine. The black bulb flowers were growing in several places that were conveniently accessible to the average half-ton rock creature. Conversely, the group would probably be able to get to them, too.
"I've read about these before, they're called "Bomb Flowers!" The fruit of the plant is a special nut that is nourished by nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen from a rocky mineral environment in a distribution that produces an explosion akin to trinitrotoluene when picked and jarred together! They can only grow in rocky terrain with a high ammonia content in it... Mines and caves are an obvious choice, what with the natural gases that float around in here. So long as there are sufficient nutrients, the plant can produce the nuts indefinitely and at a high rate!"
Companion: "In english?"
Priest: "They grow explosives, and it doesn't take them very long to regenerate in an environment such as this!" |

((*docks points from everyone*))
Hikari: Oh! Right! Um..
Hikari looked up to remember Mule Joe's presence. What was she gonna do?
Hikari: Can't you just let go? It's not that much--
Hikari noticed the ground below the mining structure full of cracks, and a hole in the center of it all.
Hikari: Uhh... Can't ya hold on for a minute, missy? I'm not the strong savin' type.  ; |

OOC Damnit people, quit slacking off and make me post because I want to slack off.
Maya: "I'm fine..."
Maya continued to hold on to the catwalk hoping someone would do something before she slipped and fell.
Maya: "Um... think you could help, theres nothing to really get a good hold on..." |

And it was exactly Maya's slip up that allowed her to avoid the explosive radius of the bomb plant. The mining structure shook as a pillar was blown to bits. The ground below the structure began to form some cracks. Hikari immediately scattered away from the structure.
Hikari: *yelling* Hey! Are you alright? *normal voice* Hum.. Reckon it's a bit dangerous to be gettin' close... Now what? |

Maya's eyes grew big and she went pale. All of a sudden she tried to launch herself up on the ladder, unfortunatly, it wasn't strong enough to hold the sudden change in pressure and snapped before she even jumped. She fell back towards the catwalk and fell a little past it, just managing to grab on by her hands.
Maya: " " |

Hikari held her hands to her mouth, attempting to amplify her voice as she yelled.
Hikari: What are you doin', woman?!
Hikari thought to herself and figured it was a probably a good idea. She shoved the dynamite sticks into her quiver, and dashed to the catwalk.
Mule Joe took notice of those invading his "fortress". He quickly looked around for a way to retaliate. He noticed there was an oil drum nearby. He pulled out a rock from under his poncho and strikes it across the top of the drum. Mitra flinched.
A spark shot out and started a tiny flame on the top of the drum. It didn't explode or anything. Mitra let out a sigh of relief. Unfortunately for the blonde, she had lost her breath again when she realized the plantlife growing.
Mitra: Eep!
Mule Joe snatched a round, black bulb from the flower that was happily growing on the side of the hole in the mountain. A tiny flame erupted from the top of the bulb and began to hiss.
Mule Joe: I said go away-goro!
Mule Joe tossed the black bulb towards Maya. Hikari realized what Mule Joe had tossed and immediately jump off the catwalk. |

Maya: "Pfft, just aim at the right place."
Maya sighed as she noticed the catwalk. She prepared herself for the jump onto them and jumped, falling for a second then landing and bolting towards the nearest ladder. She began to climb as fast as she could and add as little force to the ladder as possible. If she were bigger, this might have actually been a challenge.
Luna groaned as she sat up and looked around. It felt like a horse had landed on her. She stood up and looked up towards the mountain, seeing some of the stragglers she began to climb up slowly. She tried to go faster, but she was in to much pain to put a lot of effort into it. |

Hikari stared at Maya with disbelief.
Hikari: I.. I was just sayin' it out of anger..
Mule Joe didn't run too far. There was a mining structure built infront of some excavated holes in the side of the mountain. He immediately scaled the three story metallic structure and placed Mitra insode one of the excavated holes. Mule Joe began to beat his chest as he glared at everyone who was running towards him.
Mule Joe: Go away, goro!
Hikari: He's a sittina duck up there... But I can't shoot dynamite at him since Mitra's so close... Darnit!
The three floor catwalks seemed a bit sturdy with the six pillars jutting up through them. There were a few ladders scattered that would allow them to climb up, but would it be safe..? |

Maya had caught up to Hikari with relative easy and was holding out a few sticks of dynamite.
Maya: "Will these do?" |
