"Actually" Sai looked around, looking quite concerned actually. "Lets take her with us and get the hell out of here" The lightning strike that wasn't very far away at all, and three of them as powerful as that wasn't going to be easy... They had no choice. He would wait for the two females to begin so he could stay a little behind... just incase.

(OOC: I totally forgot about this! Sorry!! Rose sent me an e-mail to come back, so yeah... Sorry! I'll be active!)

Larita nods, however the thunder enmities seemed to be increasing their pace; forcing the three mages (and bird) to do the same. Larita dashed past a tree and leads forward a couple of bushes, arriving at the entrance of a deep, morbid cave, the entrance filled with markings of large gashes, scratches and cuts. Even an explosion indent.

"I doubt the Tiger would be in there," Rin wearisomely says.

Hebi emitted a sound not unlike a tired kitten.
"What is happening here? Something fun?" Hebi asked, tilting her head cutely.
Hebi went over to the cave sniffing the air lightly.
"Hebi can smell something here." Hebi said, still sniffing the air lightly "Hebi has no idea what it is though"

"R-really? I can't spell anything... your nose must be amazing," Larita compliments, as a giant vulture like bird of massive proportion flies over the cave, making Rin scream slightly.

"Master! This islands crazy! So many scary, magical monsters." Rin cries, hiding in Larita's pouch in her skirt, shivering consistently.

"It didn't see us, we'll be fine..." Larita sighs, "So are we entering the cave...?"

"Sure are, lets get in there and get out... maybe we'll find it"

Sai would grin, readying his sword as he decided to lead the rest of the group. He was apparently the only offensive fighter here so, it was the best idea.

Hebi, sniffing the air lightly, broke out into a soft purr.
"Hebi smells something nice." Hebi said as she walked along, lightly sniffing the air every so often. "Its getting closer, wonder what it is. Hebi so excited!" Hebi said with a light bounce in her steps.

Larita looked confused at the young girl, so the thing inside the cave was coming out? "Rin do you think you could track what's coming out?"

Rin looked back dazed. "N-no, but it's quite strong, as strong as you and the guy over there put together maybe, well..." She continued as the monster then comes out...

Sai stopped. "... strong as both of us put together?" He would move back a little towards the others, he wondered if this was the creature that they were hunting for.

"I doubt it," Rin sighs, as a giant screech is heard and a bear, bat like creature emerged. Its devilish wings spread widely and its gruesome, menacing stare pierced everyone. Fear began rising.

"T-that's the mosnter!?" Larita panics.

"I-I think so, I can't sense many more around this area..." Rin sighs, taking cover behind Larita.

"W-well, remember what Rin said, it's only as strong as us put together, c-can we beat this thing!?" Larita quickly takes a battle position.

Hebi stared at the monster in confusion for a few seconds before she broke into a fanged grin.
"Nyuu! Funny!" Hebi said before shifting into cat-form and preparing to pounce. The monster looked confused by this, stopping in its tracks momentarily.

Sai looked oddly at the bat... bear creature moved out of the cave. He stood ready this time, standing infront of Larita. Then the cat-girl who had decided to follow transformed, and actually got the creature to stop.. what the hell was going on?

Larita was slightly confused as well. "Lalala L-Liberatio!" She chants, spinning her ghastly flute as it flickers and shines, transforming into a large skull-topped wand. "I-It's confused, let's attack now, b-but how do I use this?" She quietly adds the end part, turning slightly red. Though she did try and train her ability wield it for longer, she didn't get very good - and she never learnt how to use it against enemies.

Hebi started to purr in her cat-form as she crouched down right before pouncing on the monster. The monster swung at her but missed, Hebi's small cat-form being faster than the monster could react. "Nyuuu!" Hebi made a pleased sound as she pounced again, to her it was all just a game.

Larita quickly spins her skull staff and whacks the monster directly on the nose. The monster retaliates by swinging his paw, slamming into the rock 'causing a small crater to be made. "Though this monster may be strong, it's really slow. We can beat this thing," Larita says landing elegantly on her feet.

"Damn right we can beat it" Sai wouldn't waste time, he would have to end this quickly. "Liberatio" He would say, followed by a flash of light with him now with a clawed arm. Moving quickly he would charge the beast, hoping to land a blow right on its head, before it could catch him.

As Sai began attacking the monster, Larita had quickly began chanting, this time using her staff as a item to channel magic through. "Tre Spiritus Aeriales, Vinculum Facti Inimicum Captent, Sagitta Magica, Aer Capturae!!" She chants as the staff glows, making the spell much more adaptable as it quickly wraps the monster in wind arrows, immobilizing it, allowing Sai to hit it directly.

"Even though the monsters pretty powerful and the same strength as 'em, their teamwork is amazing! Really!" Rin compliments from afar.

Hebi pounced again towards the monster, this time latching onto the monsters face and scratching wildly and making gashes in its face. The monster howled in agony and tried to shake Habi off its face to no avail.

Immobilized, Sai would grin as he was about to slash at the monsters neck, but that cat-girl jumped in the way. He would pluck her off with one hand, while violently slashing down on its head where she had been, finishing it off. "Well... that was, interesting" he commented, his arm turning back to normal as he staggered a little, tired from the use of his spell. Though, he now had a cat in his hands, he petted it. "Want to go in?"

"It seems kinda dangerous..." Larita cautiously says. "B-but we can't split up either, so I guess if one of us goes, we all must go," She nods as she slowly enters the cave first. It was obviously much darker than outside, though it seemed to go on forever.

Hebi, still in her cat form, observed ahead, her excellent eyesight being put to good use.
"Nyuu." Hebi said as she trotted along her tail swishing back and forth merrily. "Hebi can't see anything ahead of us, though... There is something smelly down the way." Hebi said and made a light sniffing noise.

Sai would let Hebi down and follow the others, still recovering from his magic, in fact his sword had only a hilt for now, no blade to speak of, but dim white particles we're being attracted as it was being rebuilt.

Larita's weapon was also going through a similar process, of course, her magical energy was slightly drained at this rate. Hearing a sound in the extreme darkness, she quickly alerts everyone. "Somethings there!" She shouts, as a blob of slime slaps onto her foot. "Eww, what's this?" She intriguingly asks, not being able to see what it is.

Hebi trotted over to Larita, sniffed lightly on the blob of slime before making a displeased sound. "That, Nyuuu, is a slimy piece of smelly goo and it will likely leave a stain on your shoes" Hebi said, rubbing her nose with her paw.

"... where did it come from?" He questions, looking around at the dark cave... he could see about as much as Larita could which was rather... not good. He seemed to be getting a little less tired as they made their way through at least.

Trying to remove the slime, it seemed impossible. "I-I'll just deal with it and remove it later..." Larita sighs, as they continue to press forward. "Maybe that monster was the only one in the cave?" Larita raises an inquiry as she lets out as light shriek.

"What happened, Master!?" Rin quickly rushes to ask.

"S-someone touched my b-butt!!" She quickly complains, as she feels something move around her leg. "H-help!!" She quickly screams.
