Oddly enough, Teddy was catching up to Maya ... even with her going at chase speed, while the bear was going a near-walk. When Teddy pulled even with Maya, he dished out a quirky retort.

Teddy: I'm a Zoooombie!!! OoOoOoOOOoOOooo!!! Yeah, whatever ... stupid.

With that, Teddy pulled ahead at his slow trot.

((Don't be scared to try to move a step ahead of me, everyone ;; ))

Hikari glared at the Gurio Gang, not getting much of a response from them. She looked over at the boulders. There was enough space to get by, but the horses would have to be ditched.

Hikari: ... You boys had better been hightailed after we get Mitra back, 'cause I'm not gonna be feelin' too kind to not turn ya'll in.

With an irritated grunt, Hikari stepped towards the boulders and started climbing.

OOC: I just have a few scenery questions here... Bouldres falling in our path means we're NOT out in open desert anymore, right? Which means we're probably in some kind of pass or gully or ravine or something.

The guy and the priest were already at the boulders when Hikari arrived, wondering just how they'd be able to get through. Logic seemed to dictate that climbing over would be a good idea, but more to the point was something else on the tall fellow's mind....

Guy: "So wait, that there gunslinger..."

At this point he motions to the leader of the Gurio Gang, whom he had just seen make several brilliant shotsthat were all misses.

"...was trying to rescue the dancer lady, but to no avail. All of his shots either missed or hit a designated "good guy" area..."

He noted the dusty hat with a bullet hole in it that he had grabbed off of the arid earth while he was riding.

"And frankly, now it seems like something is actively keeping us from that gal. Who're the real good guys here?"

Regardless of a response, he continued after Hikari and motioned for the priest to follow. The priest, who had regained some of his gusto after a considerably more pleasant ride on a horse, nodded his head and started climbing too.

((....I suppose Melvin's actions did confuse the placement of that, but yeah, we're not in the open desert. Due to the tall wall, it kinda makes it look like a ravine for a bit up the mountain path. *nod nod*))

Hikari: ... You definitely don't hang around these parts, do ya, stranger?

Hikari immediately spotted the kidnapper as she reached the other side of the boulders. She then spotted something else. Mitra wasn't there. Hikari freaked out and rushed down to the ground, courtesy of some rocks giving way under her feet.

She let out another irritated grunt as she got back up to her feet.


Hikari: Hey! Where did Mitra go?!

Now that the man wasn't moving, it was easier to tell what he was wearing. A blue vest with gold trimming, a long sleeved, white shirt with the sleeve ends becoming wider at the ends, some light colored pants, and light brown boots. Definitely a bit out of the ordinary, but--

Hikari: Still felt a bit natural...*shakes head* Er.. I mean... I need to stop bleeding narration like that.. Hey! Start talking! Where's Mitra!

Kidnapper: Whea..?

The man turns around, with his ponytail whipping around. His green eyes were quite noticable now that they were aimed at Hikari.

Kidnapper: Ah, why are ye askin' fer her? 'Tis the reason be you wantin' attention from me, eh? I'll take ye away if ye like.

Hikari's face grew a bit red as she stared at the man in pure confusion. She blinked for a moment. She shook her head and then stomped her left foot.

Hikari: Don't be sweet talkin' me! An' don't be changin' the subject! Where is Mitra?

Kidnapper: Oh, ye don't even ask for me name? Ah, fine then.

The man points up. Hikari looks around. On a ledge about a hundred meters up, there was a very large creature wearing what could easily be called a hundred gallon hat and a beige poncho. The large beast was beating its chest as soon as Hikari locked onto its eyes.

Hikari: A giant goron?!

Giant Goron: Go away-goro. Leave us alone-goro. This territory of Mule Joe-goro.

A very blank look appeared on Hikari's face.

Hikari: You're telling me he kidnapped her?

Ex-Kidnapper: That's the idea, lass.

Maya: "Hey, don't worry I'm comming!"

Maya jumped off the horse and ran, very very fast, right past Hikari, she was almost to the wall when she jumped straight up. She was almost flying as she just kept going up, about half way up she seemed to be losing speed, she was almost all the way up and she almost seemed to just stop. She reached up and grabbed at the top and it was almost within reach, she stretched her fingers out a little more and just got on.

Maya *strainged voice* "This... really hurts my fingers..."

Maya struggled to climb up, but she wasn't able to. She was stuck, about 300 or so feet above the ground.


Luna: "Ha, its you three! AGAIN!"

Luna took out a two guns and started blasting at the three at a very fast rate, she was mad this time and even came prepared with a stick of dynamite if she was disarmed again.

Glenn had wasted no time scaling the boulders, and landed smoothly on the other side very shortly after Hikari. As less-than-happy as he was about the appearance of the giant goron, he was also far from pleased about the arrogant would-be kidnapper's horrible attempt at wooing Miss Hikari. In response to both, he pulled his bo from where it had been strapped to his back. With a strange amount of confidence he didn't usually show, he held his bo ready as he spoke.

Glenn: Impressive as the size of your friend there is, rivaling even the size of your mouth, gorons aren't exactly the most agile of creatures... And something tells me that that characteristic would increase exponentially with their size. We didn't come here looking for trouble; we just want our friend back. However, if you're not willing to hand her over... Well, it would seem we have you outnumbered, once the others get over these rocks. Your choice.

Melvin grinned at Hikari, as bullets passed by his head, a few grazing his duster every now and then. Didn't your mother tell you that firing blindly while screaming isn't a very good idea?

Melvin: You'll turn us all in? I'd be impressed if you even got a hold of all three of us. Which might be a problem, seeing as how you only have two arms.

As an afterthought, Melvin leaned to the side, plucking the stick of dynamite from Luna's pocket. He returned to his position, holding the fuse up against Booster's cigarette, sending a steady stream of sparks flowing from the fuse. He promptly returned it to the girl's pocket.

Melvin's response to Hikari was not returned, since Hikari was on the other side of the boulders already.

Ex-Kidnapper: Oi! That mighty beast isn't me friend? I've been searchin' for the Phoenix, and I jus' thought she was free for the pickin', savvy?

Hikari gave the man a hard glare until her attention was diverted by the goron.

Mule Joe beated his chest as Maya tried to stay on the ledge. He then hopped up and stomped the ground several times. The wall Maya was hanging on began to shift around. Ledges that led up to the one Mule Joe was standing on had been jostled around. After that, Mule Joe grabbed onto a nearby stash of boulders and began to hurl them down. The boulders convieniently tumbled down the ledges.


Hikari: Just great.

Luna, who thought she'd been a lot farther from them, took the stick of dynamite out of her pocket and threw it at the boulder's that were between them and Hikari. The resulting explosion was small for a stick of dynamite and only blew up a few rocks, sending shards of rocks everywhere.

Luna: "I got ripped off."


Maya could feel her fingers sleeping as she tried to hold on, and then as the boulders came down, she let go, landing on one of the boulders, riding it down to the ground. Then the explosion happened from Luna's recklessness and the boulder started spinning, knocking Maya off.

Maya: "This didn't turn out right..."


Luna brought her guns back out and reloaded, about ready to fire as a boulder landed right in front of her, causing her to get started and jump back about 10 feet, luckily for Maya, Luna had moved right into the space where she was going to fall. Maya landed on Luna, both falling onto the ground, Luna in a daze.

Luna: "Ow..."

Maya jumped up and moved a bit farther back from the mountain, not really wanting to be crushed by a boulder.

Hikari had already ducked to avoid getting hit in the face by debris.

Hikari: We're hangin' around with lunatics!

She decided that she would try her best to ditch everyone as fast as she could while trying to save Mitra. She looked up, hoping to luck an idea out of nowhere. The giant goron gently twists around his dastardly-looking mustache before tossing another wave of boulders.

Hikari keeps looking around and notices the ledges form a zigzagy path up, something easy enough for her to get up quickly.


Hikari: C'mon, Glenn. I reckon we should leave these fools ta their own insanity.

Hikari stood up and ran forward, keeping aware of the falling boulders.

Melvin and Company, however, took a much different, much more Mario approach to the boulder problem. One by one, each stood on the back of one of their horses, then leapt off onto a boulder, and began hopping along the chain of boulders upwards towards the Goron.

Companion: "Eh, what, oh right..."

Offline trances aside, the companion notes the gigantic Goron atop the boulders and can't help but wonder aloud...

"Jeez, what the hell does that thing ride? It looks like he'd snap the back of any conventional horse like a twig."

Priest: "I imagine he must roll around like a rock!"

Companion: "That'd make kidnapping kinda hard, wouldn't it?"

Priest: "Yeah..."

The man's arm fired upward as he began scaling the rocks, and the priest clambered slowly afterward. The man felt the need to ask Hikari the very same question...

((Sorry sorry.. major distractions kept me from posting ;; ))

Mule Joe took a step back, in slight shock of everyone quickly making their way up. He leans over to the side to grab Mitra, who was sitting quietly on a rock. He then began to run further up the mountain. There was a bit of walking to do to reach the next tallest ledge for the giant goron, but his long strides were making it easy.

Hikari finally reached the top of the cliff she was climbing. She let out a pant and an irritated grunt.


Hikari: And he ran away! I'm tired of all this running!! It's now that makes me wish my mana could take the form of explosive arrows.

Maya had caught up to Hikari with relative easy and was holding out a few sticks of dynamite.

Maya: "Will these do?"

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: "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 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'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: ""

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?

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..."
