<Sandwitches> Birdy continues to struggle in the green haired woman's grasp.  She snarls and claws at the hand holding her to the valley wall.
<Sandwitches> The green haired woman looks back towards Simon and the pink haired boy.  “Once I'm done with this little brat, I'll need both you you to come with me...  So don't even think about running.”
<BSRaven> "...I've no reason to run..."
<Sandwitches> Her smirk goes wicked.  "Good...  then just wait right there, while I send the little Princess here to see her brothers and sisters~"  She cackles as her hand starts to constrict around Birdys throat.
<BSRaven> ...Though he does run. Towards her, fist ready to slam that drill into her -- and turn his rage into power.
<Sandwitches> The green haired woman drops Birdy and is launched backward into the air.  She manages to land on her feet, but still a little ragged.  "Should have seen that one coming..."  That smirks still there though.
<BSRaven> At which point Simon makes a point of pulling Birdy onto her feet. "You okay?"
<Sandwitches> She rubs her throat and nods.  "I'm ok..."  She sets her teeth adn glares at the older woman.  "But I want to kick her *ass*."
<BSRaven> "Breathe for a moment first. Getting too excited never ends well."
<Sandwitches> She nods and takes a deep breath, adjusting her footing.
<BSRaven> "Now go kick her ass."
<Sandwitches> Birdy charges one of the Soliders and leaps into the air- and sails right past him as her kick fails to connect.
<Sandwitches> The Pink haired boy roars something about fire dragon and fists and - Oh god where did all that fire around his hand come from!?  Well, it doesnt seem to matter, as the Knight he attacks takes the punch without any visible effect...
<BSRaven> "...Deja vu." A shake of the head. "Damnit Birdy, how can you save everyone if you can't kick one goon in the face!? If you're not taking out goons, how will you be able to take out anyone meaner?!"
<Sandwitches> Birdy winces and rubs the back of her head...  before giving Simon a smirk of her own. "Alright, Simon!"
<Sandwitches> The two Soliders move first, both of them coming in from either side at Birdy and swinging their swords!
<Sandwitches_> She spins, kicking away one of the swords as she draws a small silver cylinder from out of the air.  A blade of blue light springs to life from it, And it rises up, cutting THROUGH the other sword and into the soliders armor.  The man falls back to the ground, unconcious but still breathing.
<BSRaven> "That's more like it!"
<Sandwitches_> The Two knights see this and look at each other...  and both charge the small pink haired boy.
<Sandwitches_> The boy looks fired up form seeing Birdys move and does a little spin of his own, knocking away both axes with a pair of flaming kicks.
<Sandwitches> The Green haired woman sighs...  and turns towards the gate, taking off back towards the flaming structure!
<BSRaven> A quick moment to survey the area... And Simon punches the Core Drill into a nearby cliff, sending raw /anger/ into it... Triggering an unusually ominous rumble from behind the green-haired woman.
<Sandwitches> The Cliff face crumbles and tumbles down on the other side of the gate-
<Sandwitches> But it almost sounds like...  the rocks hit something OTHER than the woman.
<BSRaven> If you pay attention, you can almost see the dawning realisation of the fuckup on Simon's face.
<Sandwitches> Birdy's strange sword drops the second solider with a flick of the wrist.
<Sandwitches> The pink haired boy aims another punch at one of the knights, and manages to put a huge dent in his armor this time
<Sandwitches> The both the remaining knights disengage the boy and charge Birdy...  A near-fatal mistake, as the girl catches one axe, and bisects the other axe with her own blade.  She wrenches the one she caught away from the knight and tosses it behind her, delivering a wide arced slash across both knights chests as she spins.  The blade sizzles through the thick armor like its butter, and both hit the ground with a thud.
<Sandwitches> "...  wooooah...  That was AWESOME!"  The pink haired boy hoots.
<BSRaven> "That's the way." [Though I'm not really doing much here...]
<Sandwitches> "Come on!  we need to go see what she was after!"  Birdy takes off towards the gate.
<BSRaven> Simon attempting to stay hot on her heels. Attempting.
<Sandwitches> "i'm coming too!"  The kid snorts a bit of flame and follows them both.
<Sandwitches> Birdy arrives just before the other two, and smashes the gate clear off its hinges with a single, powerful kick.
<BSRaven> "Solves a problem."
<Gilliam_Yaeger> Quite a sight greets the trio beyond the gate. Most of the area is covered in a raging inferno, at the center of which is what seems to be a gigantic shrine to some kind of god stands tall, with a pair of huge wooden doors that presumably once held the building shut rent asunder and burning merrily to each side. But the ornate shrine itself is untouched by the fire, not even showing burn marks by the tongues of flame that lick at it
<Gilliam_Yaeger> s walls.
<Gilliam_Yaeger> And in the middle of the shrine's insides, surrounded by the shattered remains of a no doubt gigantic crystal and unconcerned by the raging flames outside, stands a hooded figure dressed in gold-trimmed robes covered with arcane markings, a single crimson eye visible beneath the shadows of their hood.
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "Are you...the one that awakened me?" the figure asks the surprised-looking green-haired woman.
<BSRaven> ...Simon raises his hand. "I think that was my bad."
<Sandwitches> The green haired woman just...  gapes for a moment, before growling.  "...  All of this was just a distraction then.  All of that work."
<Sandwitches> And then, a sigh.
<Gilliam_Yaeger> A tilt of the head. "...Pardon?"
<Sandwitches> "Ah well."
<BSRaven> "...Okay you lost me now."
<Sandwitches> "Worth a try at least.  You wouldn't happen to know where the Fallen Dragon Rests, would you?"
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "The Fallen Dragon...? Do you, perhaps, refer to the Fell Dragon, Grima?"
<Sandwitches> "No, The Fallen Dragon.  The Greatest Disciple of Grima...  That is the Dragon I seek.  Tell me where she rests."
<BSRaven> "I don't think he knows what you're after..."
<Sandwitches> "If you do, I'll make it worth your while."
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "And what would you do with this...Fallen Dragon, if you found her?"
<Sandwitches> "Take her to Zaibach...  D-..."  She grits her teeth for a second, before grinning.   "...  Oh."
<Sandwitches> "Well... I know lord Dornkirk has plans for the Fallen Dragon...  And has paved the way for the Dragon to ascend to its rightful place..."
<BSRaven> [Sounds like a terrible idea.]
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "So, you wish to grant power to a Disciple of the Fell Dragon, then?"
<Sandwitches> "Zaibach has need for the Fallen Dragon to ascend to the place of the Old Fell Dragon."
<BSRaven> "Um... This sounds like a really bad idea. Just saying."
<Gilliam_Yaeger> The figure nods, as if what it had just heard was something they agree with. "I see...In that case..."
<Gilliam_Yaeger> The figure suddenly flicks their arm forward, and some kind of dagger attached to a red cord shoots out of their sleeve, blowing past the green-haired woman and embedding itself in the ground behind her.
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "...That makes us enemies."
<Gilliam_Yaeger> The red cord, clearly stretched to its limit, pulls the hooded figure forward through the air, the sleeve of her robe falling up to her shoulder to reveal a straight sword concealed within, which is brought down on the green haired woman.
<Sandwitches> She tries to raise an arm to block the attack, but its futile.  The Blade cuts deep in her arm, snapping the bone and smashing her arm into her side.  The woman screams and stumbles backwards, before trying to bolt back outside!
<Sandwitches> "...  Woah."
<BSRaven> "...Fair enough."
<BSRaven> Though his dull surprise doesn't stop Simon from just sticking his leg out... It's a simple thing to try, but sometimes all you need is a simple trick.
<Sandwitches> His "trick" works...  a little TOO well.  She hits his leg at such a speed that she goes VAULTING over it, and back out the gate, landing with a cruch in the now vividly red snow.
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "So, you three aren't her friends, I take it?" the figure asks, almost casually retrieving her dagger with a single tug, and letting it dangle down from the hand holding her sword. "That makes things much simpler."
<BSRaven> "...I think the fact that she's face-first also helps."
<Sandwitches> "...  I don't think she can fight anymore..."
<Gilliam_Yaeger> This elicits a giggle from the hooded woman. "Yes, I suppose it does."
<Sandwitches> The pink haired boy runs up to her.  "Thats an awesome sword!  Where'd you get it!"
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "Oh, this little thing?" She holds up her sword, resting the blade on her other hand, revealing that the sword and the dagger are indeed connected to each other by that red cord.

<Gilliam_Yaeger> "I had it made for me, before I was sealed away here."
<Sandwitches> "...  Why WERE you sealed away here?"  Birdy gives the older girl a suspcious look.
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "Ah, allow me to introduce myself." The woman pulls her hood back, revealing long, curly green hair, and a somewhat mischevious grin. She bows, elegantly. "My name is Lyn Faan, a strategist of some repute. I was sealed away here so that, in the event of Grima's return - or the rise of something possessing the Fell Dragon's power - an unprepared world would not find itself ignorant of Grima's...unique weaknesses."
<BSRaven> "...How unique are we talking?"
<Sandwitches> "...  You're a trap then."  Birdy smirks.  "Cool."
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "Yes, that is one way of putting it," Lyn laughs. "And they are really quite specific. I wouldn't be surprised if the knowledge has been lost to the world in my absence."
<Sandwitches> "Uh guys?"
<BSRaven> "Yeah?"
<Sandwitches> "The bleedy lady's gone."
<BSRaven> "Oh damnit."
<Sandwitches> Sure enough, theres a small trail of blood that leads into...  nothing.
<Gilliam_Yaeger> "And that suits our purposes perfectly." Lyn steps forward, a smirk on her face. "If she came here expecting to face a Dragon servant of Grima, she probably brought an army, no?"
<BSRaven> "Well, probably, but with just the three of you... uh... It doesn't look good."
<Sandwitches> ...  yeeeeep.  Three Guymelefs appear from out of nowhere leering down at the gate.  The lead one bearing the Reglia of a Dragon Slayer...
