Beyond the Mountains of Madness
#12
The faunus had taken up the wounded, her being the strongest of the group. Even weighed down by her trophy she was able to keep up with the rest of the group. Jade fired some shots while running backwards, but obviously they weren’t accurate enough to hit. The team trailed past stalagmites covered in thick damp moss, Tell and Roland shouldn’t be too much further in the cave.

An axe came flying past Amber’s face and cutting some threads of her hair, which obviously enraged her but she had to contain herself.

“We either need to fight back or die!” She screamed out, throwing up Smith to keep him stationed on her back.

“What do you propose?!” Selena yelled back, the one leading the group.

“You take Smith and bandage him up and let me loose on those stub-legged fu-, losers!” Amber almost cussed again but caught herself in the act. Jade flashed her a quick smile of appreciation. Selena’s decision to run was rash but it had given them a little more time to think.

“Fine! Give me Smith.” The team stopped and the faunus passed the injured to Selena. With a quick spinning motion she wasted not a second readying her heavy ass weapon and charging head first into battle.

“Damn she really loves to fight.” Selena mumbled to herself as she began to bandage Smith’s wound quickly. Jade followed behind Amber to support her. The dwarves grinned, all but one actually, who seemed rather cold, yet still ready to fight. Amber barreled into her enemies with ferocious swings the could tear down concrete statues. The ‘assassin’ dwarves were no pushovers though, and countered meeting her blade with axe. The stubborn faunus pulled back and charged in again swinging her blade over head.

SHLUNK

Mid-swing, her blade was lodged into the ceiling. She attempted to break it free of the rocky surface, but had no luck. Brennon wasted no time in giving her a taste of his axe while she was vulnerable. The blade sunk deep into her shoulder spraying blood onto the steel. Amber cried out and returned by let go of her blade and giving a heavy kick to the chest. Jade’s shots from her gun had the others under guard. Blocking advance.

Brennon found his footing finally, pulling himself up with a slight cough. Luckily his armor had softened that blow rather efficiently. The faunus had given up on her sword and readied the cat-like claws of pink light on her finger tips. Without hesitation, she chased down her dwarven enemy. It did not take much effort to see just how much faster Amber had become just by dropping her sword. She moved swiftly like a predator, mostly mimicked by the feline ears her hair nearly covered. The dwarf brandished his axe and readied for a brawl.

Jade had to reload Little Sn0w for it had run out bullets. This had given time for the other two to advance. Sheron-bhar joined Brennon in fending of the blood-crazed cat-girl while Keldic went after the seemingly weaker wolf-girl. Little did he know, Jade had many tricks up her sleeve like Amber. She pointed her finger at the charging dwarf, who was confused by this.

“Bang.” She mumbled as a green light shot from her finger and struck Keldic in the shoulder. His body became numb for a second cause him to fall into the stony floor and giving Jade a second to reload Sn0w.

Amber was taking hits. She might be faster than average, but dodging was not her strong suit. Jagged axe blades bore into her back and arms. Not to say that she was not winning. With each strike to her, she made sure to give her enemy a good punch to the chest or claw in the face. Only, unluckily for the dwarves, she was beginning to get pissed. Her movements were becoming more explosive. Brennon took another swing at Amber, but unfortunately had his trusty axe caught in the air. He was surprised until a fist met his chin, knocking him on his back. Groaning in pain, he rolled around on the floor.

Sheron-bhar bravado had died down after that display, but that would not stop him from being felled by a little kitten. He reached in with his weapon, only to be stopped by an axe. Amber was using the other dwarfs weapon against his ally. With a quick backstep and the flick of a wrist she launched the heavy axe at Sheron-bhar. It slammed into his chest piece with a loud clang, just enough to piece his skin.

“Amber! It’s time to go!” Yelled Jade from down the cave. It seems they had finally finish first aid to Smith, who was looking better but still unconcious. She returned with a nod and went to retrieve Razorback from the stone with a hefty pull, she was able to dislodge it from it’s place, causing more cracks in the ceiling. They didn’t stop. Amber panicked.

She knew the ceiling was going to come down so with a powerful kick off she charged for her friends who were getting ready to move.

“Run! The ceiling is going down! Move!” Rocks crashed behind Amber, who was barely able to outrun them. Dust flung around her as they hit the ground. By luck, the assassins were on the other side of the rubble. Loose rocks fell in front of the faunus but she was just barely nimble enough to move around them. She dove for her teammates as they came into range and the rocks finally stopped falling. The whole group fell into a coughing fit as dusted entered their lungs unwelcomingly.

“Holy crap that was too close.” Amber said looking at the rocky rubble behind her. “I’ve got to stop doing that.” She said to herself before standing back up and dusting off her torso. “Is everyone alright?”

Selena stood after clearing the dust from her throat. “We’re all fine, how about you.” She asked, observing the numerous wounds in Amber’s skin. Jade was freaking out trying to bandage them as soon as she got the chance, taking pieces of her dress off again. She was going to end up naked if everyone kept getting hurt this much. Only she was stopped by Amber before she could remove the cloth.

“Let me cover your wounds Amber.” She said trying again.

“No, I can heal myself.” She said. “Watch.” She reached into her pocket, pulling out a golden crystal from her jacket. With her bare hand she crushes it then ingests it. At first it seems a bit weird, but her wounds begin to close up in about ten seconds, fully mending within thirty.

Selena is a bit dumbfounded. She knew primes were capable of extreme regeneration, but to see it with her own eyes was astonishing. “Okay. Well, Shall we find the captain and move on? We obviously can’t go back.”

“Right,” said Jade a bit nervously, “Hopefully Tell will be reasonable with Amber having accidently taken down the cave ceiling.”

“Yeah..” Amber replies thinking of just how steamed the good captain was going to be. Everyone collected themselves quickly and continued down the cave path.
