Lost Amongst Lava (Open)
#7
RUUMMMBLE

Miranda's eye slowly opened, scanning her environment somewhat lazily. It had only been a few hours since arriving in this new world. This one was completely different from the one before, a land of fire, ash, and darkness. Besides the bad air and blood-red skies, it reminded her of home. The heat was dry like the desert, and caves like this could be found at home, even if those provided a wealth of cool air and crystal clear water. Minus the water it made her feel a little better being this far from home.

She stood and tightened her eye patch. Not one step was taken before the rumbling occurred again, slightly throwing herself off-balance. A wall of stone crumbled down, sending forward a wall of ash towards Miranda. She took a step back, her eye squinting to see a faint red glow through the ash cloud. Ever so slowly it crept to her, the heat now become unbearable

'Lava.. no.. have to get out', she thought to herself as she started to run down the cave, summoning her black dirt-bike beneath her. The bike itself was black with dusty sand from home covering it. A white number eight was etched in its side. Over the sound of the cave crumbling and rumble of her bike's engines, a pair of voices could be heard ahead. A blink later and the wall beside her collapsed, a wave of lava spewing in its wake.
'No time!', she screamed into her head, stepping up onto the bike and leaping forward, tumbling to break her fall. She didn't stop there. She recovered and sprinted to the end of the cavern, a river of lava following close. She spotted the two ahead and leeped from rock to rock, although somewhat clumsily and climbed up onto the ledge in which they were.

It was quite crowded on that ledge, but she stood as if she belonged there, as if she were there the whole time. The rumbling behind her nearly caused her to jump, and she quickly moved over between the two male's, conjuring up a couple of picks and bolts with her Omnilinium, forcing them into the rock. The cavern itself was tall, with an opening at the top, that was where they needed to be, on solid ground without much fear of melting alive. She found a foot hold in the rocky wall and held on by her picks.

'Up you go, little man', she thought as she grabbed the smaller, weirder shaped man by his over-alls, hoisting him onto her back before summoning a couple more picks for the more normal sized man with the green clad guy. She couldn't speak for the time being, but pointed to the hole in the cavern's ceiling to show her intention and started climbing, carefully. This cave was collapsing in places due to volcanic activity, and although they needed to leave immediately, rushing would only cause them to plummet to a fiery death.
"I've been here before, used to this kind of war. Crossfire grind through the sand. The orders were easy: 'It's kill or be killed'. Blood on both sides will be spilled."
