Aurilaz had finally completed her transformation into her all-too real yet deadly self and just as she did with the Human village before, the ancient Black Dragon unleashed the full fury of her breath weapon pouring a hellishly unending torrent of black acid that washed over, around and through the ranks of Venger's army dissolving all within its path.
Alyson didn't move as the line of deadly acid plowed its way towards the group, "I hope Kana can handle Venger in the state she's in." She brought the staff of elements down hard and fast into the ground. A wall of stone and earth erected as the wave of acid hit but she redirected it away from the group and the entrance of the mountain. "Quake a LITTLE HELP HERE!!"
"Ok, LADY!" The fire-stone dragon slammed her tail along the ground creating a trench for the acid to follow.

"Back to the mountain!" cried Irzen without a moment's hesitation, "Retreat!"
Unfortunately ten Orcs were smart enough to get the same idea and gave quick pursuit to the Adventurers.
Out of nowhere, a pair of circular blades bounced off each side of the mountain entrance and took out the foremost of Venger's orcs trailing behind the group before returning to the hands of the assassin within the shadowy entrance.
Though Seriah's attack was effective it did not sway the other eight Orcs from charging after the Adventurers.
"He's going after Kana!" yelled Willow attempting to cry over the roar of Aurilaz's attack, "We have to do something!" The Ranger fired off an energy arrow yet the Dark Lord swatted it away and returned the attack with a blindingly white blast of magical energy that was headed right for the Adventurers.
"Less stupid, more running," the Gamer called behind him as he ran by.
"You know, we could use a certain Shield Maiden right about now!" groaned Irzen to no one in particular, "Everyone, look out!"
The elementalist then turned around casting, "Reflector, Deflector, Return to SENDER!!"
A mirror shield formed around the party, it absorbed the blast and channeled right back at Venger.
***SHHOOOMMM!!***
The Dark Lord smiled as he saw his energy blast coming towards him. As he did with Willow's energy arrows, Venger deflected his energy blast into the hole he had previously made. This second blast not only widened the hole but also burrowed its way through the mountain and into the chamber where Kana, Serna, Neven and Mermidon stood. The Dark Lord quickly followed afterwards as he flew through the opening he created.
Tommy continued to sing as he passed into the cave entrance, his voice echoing slightly in the enclosed space. "The way is just dark, the light is no good. I fear I may have to say something rude." He stumbled slightly as Venger continued to shake the mountain with his blasts. "The roof is just fall-ing onto my hood. I sort of hate to ask it, but will you shield me Basket?" Without pausing, the Gamer swung the Basket over his head, blocking some falling stones. He chuckled as it snapped its lid at him in irritation.
Irzen drew forth Evenflow from its sheath, "Alyson, drop your shield, get back inside the mountain and see if you can give Tommy and Kana some help with Venger. Seriah, Willow and I will handle these Orcs and keep them from coming up on our rear. GO!"
As if to emphasize his point, the Ranger drew back on the Energy Bow and released a Lightning Arrow that blew a hole in the chest of the Orc that was giving chase to him.

Hearing the muffled sounds of battle from outside the mountain, Serna rose to her feet with her shield at the ready, "What was that, Mistress--?"
The Shield Maiden never got a chance to finish her statement for no sooner had she spoken a side of the cavern wall blew itself inward atop the Wolfen and her charges. Serna activated her shield successfully protecting not only herself and Kana but also Neven beneath a small magical dome as they were buried under a ton of rock and debris.
Mermidon appeared from within the debris with Kana, Serna, and Neven, "*Malsvar* comes for *wux* he knows the now.
"You know you're not helping, right!" snapped Neven defiantly at Mermidon, "Instead of telling us who is coming to kill us. Why don't you just get these rocks off of us before Serna's shield fails and we all get crushed to Death. Okay?"
"Thank you," Kana said to Mermidon. "It seems that the race is on. I need to get my Bow back before I can go."
"Go?" The Shield Maiden winced as the weight of the rocks continued to press down upon her, "Go where?"
Kana hugged Serna, telling her, "Take Neven and find the others. They will need your protection and your Shield." Then to Mermidon, "I need your help in getting my Bow, and in getting as far from here as possible."
"NO!" cried Serna in pure defiance, "NO! Mistress Kana! NO MORE RUNNING!"
With pure determination in her eyes, the Shield Maiden stared directly into the soul of the Wolfen, "Mistress Kana, you have been running since you've gotten here and long before that! You ran away when those bad people on Gorrius killed your Master. You ran away from the Mercys and their life of slavery. You ran away from the Mercys while you were here in The Realm. And now you're going to run away from Venger? When are you going to stand up to the baddies in your life, Mistress Kana? When are you going to stand up and FIGHT?!"
Serna added, "Believe it or not, Mistress Kana, you are the most powerful Wolfen in The Realm! That's why Venger wants you! That's why everyone is trying to protect you! But you have to do something, Mistress Kana, you have to stand up, show Venger you have a spine, and fight back! You can command Dragons, Mistress Kana, command all of them to come here and fight Venger with you and we can beat him! You have the power, Mistress Kana, USE IT!"
