Aaand she's back again. Woot! ^__^;

[[X]ue Fang]

His food dares to talk back at him—at least that’s what Shruikai thinks seeing only the tiniest movement in the element-wielder’s lips. That, to minimally put it, ticks him off. Partly because he can't hear a bloody thing he’s saying and partly, begrudgingly, because Zephel didn’t bat an eyelid, even up until this moment as the White One inches sneakily closer to the white-head only to find the biting truth that this kid isn’t scared of him at all.

Is getting frightened beyond recognition followed by a girlish screech asking for too much?

White Shruikai narrows his eyes, ‘Say, are you desperately courting death kid?’ he asks, sniffing another lungful of this boy’s scent. Zephel smells like green soap too which reminds the Dragon of his cave showered by a cross-between-chocolate-and-mint-flavoured scent no thanks to Fang…wait what?! What happened to the ire and dread he smelled before?! @_@;

The pale fire-breather then tosses away any hesitation he might have had regarding on eating the goggle-head now or later and opens his massive mouth housing [insert number here] perfect, razor-sharp fangs when a supple swish in the wind causes him to stop…from fully piercing Zeph’s head. Mind you, Shruikai still has Zeph’s skull in the mercy of his choppers. He’s not sinking his teeth into it, yet, but just clutching it safely nigh protectively.

Orphion warns him of the consequences should he decides to wolf down his other half, although the stubborn White doesn’t budge and instead, tightens the grip on the silvery fluff that is Zephel’s mane. ‘Wow, I gotta hand it to you, you don’t only smell like a woman your hair feels like a woman’s too. I have to ask, are you aspiring for a career to be one?’ Then side-glances to the azure Dragon. ‘I’d take bitter over chocolate-mint flavoured any day amigo.’

That’s when the only male Dragon Rider in the Solde Catacombs pleads to be eaten than to meet a crazy woman. Wow, really? Well, that’s one common ground for them; “say no to crazy women! Long live testosterone! Ha-ooh! Ha-ooh! Ha-ooh!” Feeling compassionate to his food is indeed a very rare moment for Shruikai and yet believing the reason is just—sharing common ideology for instance, he loosens his hold on Zeph’s head just for a while.

‘Wait, which one is the crazy one again?’

Back to the zany trio, Fang cannot believe what she’s seeing and what she’s not hearing; a mute but definitely mad Hikaru thrashing her megaphone into rowdy pieces. Testosterone much? Comprehension slaps her in the face and she wants to think she feels an ache so thunderously painful as she now watches a mercilessly-done-for megaphone on the ground. She’s tempted to ask ‘why?’ but figures it will just be drowned in the ringing silence their ears can only hear for now. And to think they’re already in an open area…

“Sorry guys, I, er was just caught in the moment ^^;” The snow demon apologizes, betraying her earlier attempt not to talk till they gain back their awareness of sound. Better yet Fang realises that perhaps there’s never a good time to use a megaphone, open or closed space, unless it’s absolutely necessary, in which case, summoning the already deaf or waking the long dead. Never the kind of person before that or surely, that’s what they’ll end up being.[/color]

[Iku]

One Minute Kiara was nuzzling the next minute she was standing there cursing her brother, for trying to eat not only a human, but a rider of all things! Why that little brother of her's is going to pay. Just as Kiara was about to go into curse mode, She then realized that Orphian was defending his rider. Iku decided to watch for a moment. If he could stand up to his brother, then He was a definite candidate. Kiara smirked at how Shruikai, was now surrendering and letting the rider go. Good little brother. Kiara sat there waiting for something to happen but it seemed to be a starring contest. Thats it! Kiara couldn't stay still anymore. Kiara then quietly snuck up behind Shruikai, waking him on the head.

"What the hell are you thinking humans are not snacks!!" Yelled the angry and frustrated Kiara. Maybe she would only yell at him if he didn't ruin the moment she was having with Orphian, but no! it was ruined because he just HAD to go after him. Hell, If it wasn't Orphian's rider, and was just a regular human, Kiara wouldn't waste her time waking him and just yelled. But nope, thats now how it went, did it.

Meanwhile! Iku was starting to feel a bit enraged herself. She couldn't hear anything other than the really loud ringing noises in her head. She then glared at Hikaru, Sure, She would probably be deaf for the next couple months but, did he have to stop her so mean about it? There were other ways of going about stoping Xue Fang from her screamfeast!

"Men," She growled

Iku then walked up knowing he couldn't hear her grabbing his shirt. Giving him the glare of death that was known very well from Iku. Tyr knew this look very well. Iku continued to glare at him when suddenly the ringing stopped, hooray for no more ringing! Now if only she could get the sound back! "Be nice" She growled. Iku sighed for there was no use in yelling at him, if he could hear her. She then set him down. Iku then turned to Xue Fang who had that innocent look she always had. She hand that Innocent smile and those bubbly eyes of hers. Yep Typical Xue Fang look. Iku sighed as she tried to relax the enraged part of her. Yet it wasn't happening. Putting on a frustrated smile, Iku then puched a near by pillar making an indent into it. Anger management much?

[Zephel]

The moment went this White Dragon almost made Zeph's wish came true, his razor sharp teeth already settling on his head, Zeph can't help coughing at the putrid smell of the dragon mouth. ...Of course it smelled like something died here, something DID died here...thrice, probably. Advanced state of decomposition and foul odour, dying stuck between those seemingly countless numbers of teeth, each body part in different fangs...okay, NOW Zeph's having second thoughts. And having one of those sharp fangs just barely touching his scalp...

Surprisingly, this dragon suddenly paused for a while, and released his head. Zephel could only blink, and wonder, and blink again. Now that he's out of harm's way, the need for him to die returned with a rush instead of the normal gratitude of sparing his life. He could hear the dragon telepathically spoke to him too, guessing he's inquiring about what the rider just said.

"Well, which one do you think I'm running from??" Monotonously countering back the White One's question with his own, Zeph coughed again. Some of the foul scent must have probably got stuck to his shirt now. Great, now he knows two things that bothers his throat; rabbits and dragon breath.

"Get yourself another snack, this one needs to live through the suffering he's about to endure."[/i] Orphion let out a sort of dragon-like chuckle when Kiara whack the white dragon on the head. Taking that opportunity by pulling his rider away from Shruikai, Orphion then glared at the silver-haired. "Zephel, I respect you, but please don't do that. Now especially."[/i]

Zeph rolled his eyes. taking his time to stagger up on his feet. "What am I supposed to do? Running head-first into a group of women with YOU flirting around? That's not going to end well, you know." The element-wielder then unstrap his goggles, now finding that there's dragon spit on it, and according to his hands that just touched his hair... "Yep. Definitely need a bath after killing myself."[/color]

Hikaru flashed a smile at Fang, reading her lip and expression that she's probably apologizing, and just about to apologize himself when he felt this tensed aura from Iku. Hikaru blinked, reading the movement of her lips and blinked again. "Pin ice?" He asked, still can't hear his own voice.

Hikaru trailed his eyes to Iku when she walked away a bit and punched a nearby pillar. His eyes almost bulged out at the depression of the solid... The redhead unconsciously stepped back from this girl...how huge of a muscle can she hide in that sleeve of her?? He wanted to ask Iku how'd she do that...only that he can't hear a reply from her if he said that, so Hikaru just stayed quiet and turned to check on his brother...anything to turn his attention from this shockingly strong girl.

[[X]ue Fang]

Perhaps that whack had been the last straw, the remaining factor that had finally cut the White Dragon’s thin strand of willpower to lash at his sister. ‘HOLY SHIT KIARA WHAT THE HELL?!’ He spins them around so fast and presses her on the ground that the wind between them was knocked out. He hovers above her, looking woozy and pissed. If it’s domestic abuse she wants, he’s more than willing to offer that! ‘You can have that cotton-head! I’ll eat this b*tch instead!’ Shruikai cries out, fuming.

Meanwhile, Xue Fang reflects on their situation. It is a clear night; crisp and fresh. And while there is a potential for a nice, leisurely walk or an ethereal ride in the skies, the momentum is ruined by the thick, heavy atmosphere that hangs over their heads; Shruikai’s growing rage on his sister and the rising tension between Hikaru and Iku. Anyways, everyone was supposedly too busy over their own matters that no one noticed the doom that was about to unfold hereon. “Anou Shruikai-kun…”

Without warning, the earth beneath them starts to tremble [as if demanding them to acknowledge the godd*mn place and to shut the f*ck up] and the cracks on the ground begin revealing its nasty face [again, reminding them that albeit the good soil giveth, the angry soil taketh away]. A pregnant silence then follows the entirety of Solde Catacombs and just when things couldn’t get any worse, something shiny and evil comes out on one of the deceased’s grave. Or at least it was one minute ago.

A wild [pick a colour and gender anyone!] Dragon. ‘Bloody hell.’ Possessing sharp eyes and a sharper tongue, said creature turns its lizard-like orbs towards the Riders and then to their Dragons. ‘Here I was planning to hibernate the whole damn mating season but nooo you b*tches have to be so frickin loud even the dead would migrate to another place quieter to rest!’ Its gaze remains with the Dragons, sizing them up from horn to tail. ‘Well well, if it isn’t for the spoiled and spineless Dragons of Weyr.’

[Iku]

Kiara quickly jumped up back to her feet. Glaring at Shruikai. He needed a lesson that's for sure. She growled, Waiting for him to do something when suddenly a Male Dragon appeared. Complaining about trying to hide from mating season. Spoiled and Spineless Dragons of Weyr? Oh hell no! Quickly returning her glare onto Shruikai,"I've got better things to attend to" Kiara growled as she then flew over towards the riders, Standing in between the riders and the Male Red Dragon (i picked one!)

Iku was suddenly shocked as a dragon now appeared! and a male one at that. Geez where are all the female dragons? Iku then looked at Hikaru and Xue Fang, who seem a little freaked out. Iku then rushed towards the two. She had a feeling she needed to protect them. For She felt Kiara's anger, Anger not even Iku has expressed before, She also felt like it was about to get hectic. She felt the need to make sure they were ok. Seems how It might have been Iku's fault to begin with for smashing down the pillar.

"I think we should run now!"Yelled Iku remembering that everyone is now deaf. Iku made -_- face. Iku despreatly tried to inform everyone that theres trouble SIGN LANGUAGE SOMETHING!!!

[Zephel]

Though temporarily deaf, the unstable ground made Hikaru realize there's a sudden earthquake going on...or that's what he though. He had his back to turned to the new arrival of a red dragon, totally oblivious to its existence. "Whoa, what just happened??" He turned to both Fang and Iku, only now spotting the unknown form of a huge crimson creature nearby. "Holy..."

His feet automatically backed away by the sight of that seemingly pissed dragon, his chin is far high from his shirt as he gazed upwards at this huge creature. Fear slowly dawned on him as he grabbed Fang by the wrist, eyes still locked on this dragon, and gestured at Iku to start running, since he can't hear that's exactly what the dark-haired girl just said, beginning to sprint off with Fang in tow.

Orphion was just about to snap back at Shruikai for adressing Kiara in such a crude manner, but then was distracted by the sudden shaking soil. In automatic instinctive reaction, the Blue One just quickly hauls up his rider from touching the ground, tossing poor Zephel to the air and landing on his scaly neck, much to Zeph's annoyance since that shocked him into dropping his goggles.

But that annoyance soon turned into a state of suspense as the appearance of a red male dragon made its presence known to everyone...by scratching the pride of the Dragons of Weyr. Orphion growled at the criticism, but at the same time impressed by Kiara's brave action to step up to the wild dragon. The thought of joining her to drive away that punk before any harm arise is playing in his mind.

"No worries, comprehended." The silver-haired simply said before hopping off from his dragon's neck, falls off from the great height and landed not so mildly on the ground with a frontal roll. "Go kick some red-toned ass." And with his rider's approval, the broken-winged dragon moved passed Shruikai and joined beside Kiara to try and defend what he can, with one of his wings folded since it's of no use.

Zeph sighed, scanning around for his missing spit-encrusted goggle, located the object, then quickly swiped it off the ground. "Contradicting coloured-dragon day today, I assume." Sporting back his blue accessory, Zeph looked back at the dragons and indeed their colours truly did contradict each other; black and white, blue and red.

Blinking twice, now he noticed Hikaru running towards him...with a pair of girls trailing behind. One of them being his long lost piece of annoyance in his life. He felt sort of awkward meeting her now, and instead of greeting a 'hello' or a 'hide behind me' warning, all he can say when she's finally in hearing reach is, "Dammit Fang, where the hell have you been?!"

[[X]ue Fang]

One of the things Shruikai detests the most is when he’s being interrupted in all manner of respect and form. He finds it exceedingly rude and he has a policy that if there’s anything more important than his ego right now, he wants it deflated at sight. Next to ‘give Fang whatever the heck she wants’ not because she’s the most important person in his life, and also let’s not forget the fact that she literally holds his life at the tip of her fingertips, but the reason being is that the pouting and the puppy eyes that are inevitably to follow would surely drive him insane he can’t even imagine how to respond.

Despite this Shruikai’s eyes promptly searches for his Rider amidst the quake, and after seeing her alive and for now—out of harm’s way, he finally let out that breath he didn’t know he was holding. Averting his gaze to the newcomer, it was actually no surprise to him that the insolent fool was a Red male; with its unruly entrance and hasty speech. Hell, he mostly hangs with this colour outside the domain plainly because of the mutual understanding between them, which in return makes the young White ponder about whether he’s actually half-Red by heart. It would’ve been a dream come true then.

Still, mates or not, no one is exempted from the interruption rule. Snarling in annoyance, White Shruikai lifts his massive weight off the ground and hurriedly, infuriately follows Kiara and Orphion. He stations himself comfortably between the Black and the Blue, just because he feels it so, before huffing a convincing smoke from his nose for a more dramatic effect. ‘Okay first off; SHUT UP OKAY! Geez your nonsense blabbering is giving severe blows to my dragon eardrum.’ He hisses, digging holes at red vision before him. The bastard didn’t flinch and doesn’t even look like it’s listening. ‘Why you little—!’

And why would this nasty piece of huffing and puffing work expect him, the infamous Red, to bow down to its whines, which only came across to him as a big and fat booyah, is beyond the Red Dragon. ‘I refuse to talk to an idiot for the rest of my waking days so unless the next words that you’re gonna utter is the name of your leader, consider me permanently not listening to you.’ He cuts Shruikai off without a hitch, turning his attention to the other two instead, particularly to Orphion. 'Given that you’re the alpha and only male, besides yours truly, between these two girls I’m assuming you’re the leader yes?’

Xue Fang on the other hand is completely oblivious to her surroundings plus the overwhelming yet contradicting feeling of panic from her human/demon friends and delight from her Dragon upon seeing a Red One isn’t helping one bit. Nonetheless, she let the child of light drag her to safety, linking hands with the bat demon on the way, even though she’s questioning the source of danger herself. Really, she can’t sense the prospect of threat from the red as a beetroot Dragon to them…yet. “Wow I’ve never seen a Red Dragon before,” the snow girl voices out, a hint of fresh admiration etched on her tone.

“Oooh look there’s Zephie-kun too!” whilst in the middle of running, Fang remembers she still has her flag with her chibi-face stamped on it, takes it out and waves it mercilessly as they approach the aforementioned white-head. Afterall, it is for the sake of this reunion that she tailored it day and night for 3 days by hand, taking into account the chances of Zeph running away from her when they see each other again. And with that choice of greeting too, oh yes, Fang can really feel the overflowing concern and happiness of an old time mate.[/color]

[Iku]

Kiara stepped forward, Keeping her eye on the male dragon, Stepping in front of Orphian and Shruikai. Who ever said the Alpha had to be Male?"I am the alpha" She growled. It was the truth, If anyone had any rank over anyone, It would be Kiara, She held the title 'WeyrWoman's dragon'. She was the one that was suppose to re-populate the domain with more dragons, Though, her partner's gender, didn't help. So she was to look for another one. Kiara continued starring the red male dragon down, While making a quick note as to where the riders were. Kiara felt it was her duty to make everyone else safe. Including Orphian and Shruikai. "What is it, That you are after' she growled once more.


“Oooh look there’s Zephie-kun too!” Iku stopped dead in her tracks. SOUNDS! She can hear again! Maybe she just needed some time for her ears to recover. Iku then looked over to Xue Fang. "Zephie-kun?" She said not remembering the whole reason she was temperately deaf to begin with. Thats when she saw a white haired male running by on his dragon. Iku turned to look at the the 3 dragon's who now seem to be Staring at each other? Iku was now confused. All she could feel was the need to protect. To make sure that everyone was safe. Was Kiara truely scared of what could happen to everyone? Kiara was always a motherly dragon that way. Safety was always the key. Well, with Kiara anyways.

"What's going on I wonder" She said aloud.

[Zephel]

Just as Orphion is about to speak to the Red Dragon, Kiara suddenly voiced out, stepping up to the sharp-tongued giant lizard there. "Yeah. She-- ...Wait, what?" And in the most critical moment, Orphion managed to embarrassed himself with his new-found confusion. Great, and Shruikai stands in the middle too, so now he's expecting the White One to stomp his remaining dignity more and more with his piercing words. Shaking off the thought of embarassment, Orphion's hardened face wears down into a rather blank straight stare, enough to fool anyone that he's half-asleep, when frankly, he's busy operating his nous. A voice of reason, that's his supposed role around Zeph and Hikaru, and apparently, he's been hanging out with the two long enough to have that role etched into his personality.

Alpha, meaning Kiara must have some sort of connection to the Weyrleader, which means she's supposed to be the one to repopulate more dragons...and he just flirted with her, what's more is she responded. Whoah. Okay, too large of an input. Process that later when mortal danger is removed. Orphion's focus reappeared on his eyes as he stared sharply at the current problem in front of him.

He was just opening his jaws to say something to the Red Dragon, but after thinking about it, THEY'RE the one that disturbs the Red Dragon, so he has every right to be pissed. 'Right, and because he's pissed, he unleashed his spiteful tongue and ticking US off. ...Justice can't be achieve in this situation, so I expect we'll be brawling soon enough.' The Blue One thought, judging the whole situation while eyeing the whole lot. "Really though, why don't you just continue your hibernation and we'll kill each other later when the mating season ends, hm?"[/i] Hah! Like that'll work...in fact, he's already expecting Shruikai to seethed at him or something.[/color]

"Nii-san! What are we gonna do??" Hikaru asked the second he halted in front of his brother and releasing Fang's wrist. It took him a while to register what his brother just said was supposed to be an indication of his worry, and that made the redhead smiled wide. It's their first reunion after all, a couple of years being their gap.

"Oh yeah! Nii-san, this is Iku-chan!" Nodding at what he said, Hikaru gestured to the only dark-haired person there. "Whoah! I just realized!! You guys have the same hair colour as your dragons!! Wow!! And if I own that red one, we'll be like this special hair-matching dragon-riders group!!" ...Apparently, in the terms of thinking capacity, Hikaru doesn't changed at all through the years.

"Fang, what the hell is that thing?" Zeph sweatdropped at Fang, on this time and situation, that flag is raised. Heck, Zeph doesn't even understand why she even owned that thing anyway...unless it's for the sole reason of attracting his attention or something. His sweatdrop grows bigger and fatter on hearing Hikaru's statement. Really, is Zeph's hair even blue? A tinge of it, yes, but too pale if comparing with Orphion's skin-- Wait. What is he THINKING? Dammit, that Zoe kid is messing his noggin and birthing a sense of colour-awareness in him. ...WELL, at least now he knows that Black Dragon is owned by this Iku girl here... "Hi...Iku. Nice to meet you." What are the odds of greeting a person in the heat of danger. In this place...pretty high.

"Alright, listen everyone, we have to get as far away from here as possible. I suspect there will be dragons flinging around and slamming the place up, so let's just find somewhere that offers more defense to us." He gathers up the three and looks around for a place to hide, since there's no way in hell they could escape.

'Aerial, no control. Underground, no air. Block of ice, freeze to death. Ring of fire, penetrable. ...Rock-solid floor floating in the air with icy linear walls and fire all around for defense? .....What the hell am I thinking...' Contemplating his elements for the perfect shield, Zeph continues glancing to search for their temporary hideout in case the dragons begins their fight any time soon.

[[X]ue Fang]

Wasting no time to think of a cleverer and better comeback, White Shruikai charged head on at full—almost ungodly—speed towards the wild Red Dragon whose facial expression unmistakably contorted into surprise when the only time it was given to wholly absorb what’s happening was when it’s already pressed down and immobilized on the ground, a powerful weight resting on its scaly chest in addition to the pale foot that’s strategically shoved down it nasty mouth. A loud, wrathful growl then escaped Shruikai’s throat.

‘I dare you to say I’m a girl again and I’ll f*cking snap, crackle and pop your head off! I DARE YOU >.<!’

That proved to be an inane threat however when the asswipe chose to ignore him and attempted to free itself again by gnawing the foot that’s beginning to obstruct its breathing passage. The Red Dragon struggled to wriggle its sandwiched body as well only to be met by very vexed eyes that could be translated to as ‘stop moving you clown you’re prickling my arse!’ before its owner decided to resort in the most drastic of all measures and delivered a robust head-butt, knocking the Red One unconscious…

…for a mere 10 seconds tops, before coming back to life with one helluva headache on top it all. He’d admit he was caught off guard, like who wouldn’t be when the one Dragon [who happened to be a grumpy and sensitive princess] he least expected to tackle him down did so. ‘Sh*t.’ The wild Red snarled back at Shruikai with equal heat and passion, gathering all of his vilest thoughts for a payback that he’ll be exacting later once he get passed the headache and the body ache. For now, he’ll settle for a glare.

‘There’s no point in lying Black Dragon, I already know that your leader here is the Blue One.’ RD [Red Dragon] pointed out smugly, which also caused Shruikai to turn his attention to Kiara. What did she mean that she’s the alpha? This sudden uneasiness certainly didn’t escape the White One’s prey, drawing the Red One to a solid conclusion that perhaps this horde wasn’t as close-knitted as he supposed them to be. Works for him. ‘What I didn’t know is the kind of blue coward you two obey here in Weyr.’

Fang could only smile and nod in agreement at what Hikaru said about the similarity of the Riders’ hair and the colour of their respective Dragons. It’s so random and yet so typical of the younger boy she didn’t really mind if it didn’t tone with the situation at all. Matter of fact she found herself, tiptoeing and reaching for his head, something she’s never done before. “You are SOOO cute Hika-chan!” Fang exclaimed, patting his head lightly, before turning to the red-head’s polar opposite brother.

Of course, she missed that signature [passive] face and voice of Zeph the most. “What, this? It’s a mini-me flag!” And to make her blatant point across, she flailed the white cloth dangerously close in his face one more time and would’ve gone a second round too if it wasn’t for the abrupt change of her Dragon’s mood. It may not look like it from the surface but if there’s one thing Fang and Shruikai [as much as denies it] share in common, it’s their naiveté, and being brash and proud is just a way of making up for it.

The cream-head demon looked at Iku, Zeph and Hikaru with set eyes; taking the bat girl’s hand and paying no attention to whatever ‘take cover’ plan the element-wielder’s proposing. The snow covering her body would make her untouchable anyway so she won’t need any protection, hopefully. “Shruikai-kun’s tad bit confused right now. So I gotta see him, and er yea, I’ll be back! ^^;” With those last words, Fang skidded through the slanted side of the second highest hill in the area and off to where the Dragons are.[/color]

[Iku]

Kiara then growled glaring at the red dragon, Gritting her sharp teeth. "Hmpf" She looked at the two male Dragon. Shruikai trying to protect his man pride. That's When Kiara sighed. 'Oi males' She thought to herself and sweatdropped. The Red was really started to get on her last nerves. Ok so technically she wasn't alpha Female, Though she was suppose to be, Though, With Orlith being a female, that made Kiara.... beta? But none the less, she was higher rank than these two. And this Dragon had no rank at all, he was just a wild one. This is why she was glad her partner was a female. Because if Orlith was a male, She'd have to deal with his ego all day long every day. It may have her searching for a mate, but hey, Kiara could deal with one night stands, This way she wouldn't have to deal with ego's all day long. She then looked at Orphian, Well, Thank goodness for him not having an ego. That's when it hit Kiara, hm....

"You guys are just jealous" Said Kiara as she then walked over to the blue one. Kiara then started her rubbing against him once more. "You wish you had his smooth scales, his big horns, and his dragon manliness, something you both obviously lack" Kiared barked.

Meanwhile, Iku was being pulled by Xue Fang. The girl hardly recognized that she still had a grip of her hand. Or did she? Either way Iku wasn't going to go 'hide' Kiara was always there for Iku when she needed it, so Iku was going to do the same. On another note, she did not want Xue Fang to go alone. Thats when Iku unleashed her wings for the first time in a while, She's never needed them, She's always had Kiara to ride on. Lazy? no, it was just more fun to ride on someone's else back. And Kiara didn't mind. She then glided forward wrapping her arms around Xue Fang's waist. Holding her firmly, not letting go. They glided across towards the dragons

"It'll be faster this way if we fly" She said

[Zephel]

Of course, it'll be sooner or later when Shruikai suddenly lunged at this Wild One, it's just that Orphion doesn't expect it to be THIS soon. He may not know the White One, heck he just met the prig, but there's no point in trying to calm Shruikai down at the moment...considering he's busy trying to snap RD's jaw off his skull, and delivering a strike on the head for good measures. Worst thing is, Orphion can't even do anything about it. What CAN he do at a moment like that anyway, cannonball his way to the two and brawl to no end?

"Oi, I don't know where you get the idea, but stop randomly assuming that." Pretty much copying his rider's dull tone, the Blue One remarked at the Red Dragon's preach. Really, Orphion's not even the leadership type, and not only on how he acts, he doesn't look like one too...or at least that's what he believed. "Oh, coward? Coming out from a craven fellow that hibernates during the most pride-shattering, yet vital time of the year is surprising."[/i] Frankly, Orphion doesn't even feel a tinge of insult from RD's statement about his lack of courage...but heck, he can unleash a piercing comment to balance things up, and also as a boost to prepare for an expected assault.

Said expected assault, turns out to be an unforeseen flirt from Kiara. "Dragon manliness...?"[/i] Well, that was new. Orphion blinked incredulously at the Black Dragon's antics, trying his best to grasp the situation with a clear mind...though that's a hard act to attempt with his passion burning up. Though, she's said she's the alpha, she can't be randomly flirting on untimely moments like this... Well, whatever her plan is, shouldn't be too hard to play along...or so he thought.[/color]

"H-hey!! Wait!! Where are you going??" Hikaru called before beginning to sprint to chase after the girls. While sprinting off, he chanced a look back at his older brother, only to see the white-haired slowly settling down on the ground instead of joining up with him. "Nii-san, what are you doing?? They just went head-first to jeopardy!!"

"I'm on ranged. You go on nigh." Zeph ordered, sitting cross-legged on the open, reached up for his blue goggles, and adjusts it on his eyes. Clasping his hands to the ground, Zeph closed his eyes and tries to launch his plan.

No matter how different they are, they're still brothers. And hearing the position he's been assigned, Hikaru nodded vigorously. Turns out, their little morning trainings proves to be useful as they conducted codes for each other during battles, this one being their first time using it. The redhead turns his attention to Fang and Iku, and sweatdropped at how far they are, since they're up in the air now, flying fast to the dragons.

[[X]ue Fang]

The two similarly bigoted Dragons are too occupied lashing at each other; with Shruikai constantly slapping RD’s face [the 3rd time for refusing to stay put and the 16th time for trying to breathe fire on him] and the wild Red faithfully dissing WS, his sister, his alleged leader and his unusually big foot—for a she Dragon.

‘I would’ve already eaten you if only I’m not concerned that what you’re made of might just upset my stomach.’

‘Oh yea? Wanna let me let you try?’

(“You guys are just jealous of Orphion.”)

‘Shut up! Once I’m done with you, you’ll learn that you can keep puking long after you think you’re finished.’

‘Just bring it whitey; I’ll even pretend I give a dam.’

(“At least I’m brave enough to face the mating season.”)[/i][/color]

Unexpectedly and almost instantly at the same time, the pair of hotheads stopped bickering and averted their heads towards Kiara then to Orphion then finally to each other, blinking stupidly. As if an unseen agreement has just been formed between the unlikely duo, RD nodded while Shruikai finally let go if him.

‘Me?! Jealous?! You must be joking!’

‘Woah, hang on a friggin’ minute. Are YOU implying that I’M a coward?!’

‘Seriously?! For the likes of him?! That’s absurd!’

‘And that YOU think avoiding female Dragons into forcing you to mate IS an act of cowardice?!’[/i][/color]

Flying is nothing new to Fang but having half her body hanging a couple of thousand feet above the ground is definitely something. Shruikai wouldn’t even let her ride him if she doesn’t hold onto him with her two hands. Looking overhead, she saw Iku and her bat-like wings spread far and wide; and underneath albeit a bit behind, a running Hikaru and the majestic scenery of Solde Catacombs.

“WOW!” Fang breathe in, allowing the chilly wind to hit her face. The view from the top is always the best and doesn’t fail to blow her mind to pieces; for instance, it even makes massive and angry-looking Dragons appear tiny and not-so intimidating anymore. Speaking of which, the anxiety she felt from Shruikai before is now gone only to be replaced by the White One’s usual energetic disposition.

Spotting White against Black and Red versus Blue below them, “What’s going on now?” she asked as they come nearer the Dragon scene.[/font][/color]

Kiara then ignored the squabbling boys. Thats what they were squabbling boys that couldn't get along with anyone. They were so perfect for each other. That's when the idea of Shruikai and RD being perfect 'mates' for each other. Chuckling inwardly she then looked into Orphian's eyes. Batting her eye lashes like she did before."Yeah, what Male Dragon would HIDES during mating season, It takes a real man to give a girl what she wants, Am I right Orphian"She said giving Orphian a nuzzle. She knew she finally hit a nerve. But again at this point she was just curious as to how Orphian would treat her, and if he could keep up with her in their dragon flight. All Kiara knew, was that The testosterone level was really high

Iku swooped down landing a few feet away from the dragons. Though she wasn't sure she should let go of Xue Fang, for Shruikai, looked pissed. He looked as if he was about to rip off heads.... not just any head's Kiara's head, This cant be good. Iku felt a certain hate, but it wasn't towards Xue Fang for she didn't do anything wrong. Iku was now concerned for Kiara and Shruikai, not that she cared about Shruikai, but for Xue Fang's sake, she was worried.

Great, what should he do now, everybody turned to him the moment Kiara asked for his respond. He silently glanced at the two other male dragons, then he thought about connecting his mind to his rider to ask what to do...but, the instant he took a glimpse of Kiara, he found he's unable to tear his eyes off of her. Plus the nuzzle she attacked him with, again with his defences shattering to pieces. Seriously, how can he even play along if his emotions kept being messed up by her...

...Then it hit him, he didn't need to 'play along'.

"Well of course, baby. What more do you expect from a manly dragon...?" Followed by that unusually uncharacteristic flirt is a rather passionate rub from the Blue Dragon, right before he reveals an impish smirk -bad*ss style- to the two in front of him, smugly stating "Unlike you two jealous couple, I'm blessed with a wonderfully beautiful FEMALE partner..."[/i]

For that short while when he mentions Kiara, his eyes changed into a more gentle glint as he smiled to the Black Dragon beside him, then back into that impudent state when he turns to the Red-White dragons, "In fact, when you two have a kid one day, I'm not surprised if it ended up being a pink furball."

After he's done unleashing that side of him, Orphion paused, wondering for a while if he's been possessed by an evil spirit of the catacombs or something just now. He blinked as he recalled what the hell he just said, but shook it off to perform the ending to close the curtains of his little play. His long blue tail travelled around Kiara, then securely holds her tight.

"If you two are feeling angry and/or annoyed right to the point of charging onto me, it goes without saying -but I'm going to say it anyway- that you ARE jealous. .....And if both of you are even THINKING of stepping on my sexy tail right at this moment, you're jealous of the lovely Kiara over here that she owns me and my highly repulsive tongue. Thank you for listening." The Blue Dragon then did a little bow to the two lovebirds. He's not even worried if they ended up biting his head off, because in all honesty, he actually enjoyed that little acting performance, much to his surprise.

Plus, this is a great way to see if the two Pink-combo dragons would assault him and abandoned their pride...or keep their words that they're not jealous/cowardly and stay chained to where they stood. Orphion swiveled his head to face Kiara, beaming a charming dragon smile to her. "Aren't I just adorable?"[/color]

Zeph literally fell off his former position. One minute he felt calm and controlled, the next he's been lashed by a whole new jumbled up emotions...and truly did drown to it. For that short moment, he felt like a rebel hungry for challenges, a punk that needs to show others what he thinks... Zeph felt like an annoying bastard, simply put. A cool one at that.

The silver-haired lay there on the ground, parts of his body twitching here and there at those alien feelings...originated from a highly respectful dragon to make it more shocking. "What...the.....bloody hell....was THAT..." His red eyes galred unsteadily to the sky through his goggles, never knowing he could feel these types of emotions, courtesy to Orphion for unlocking the da*n feelings.

Hikaru quickly strapped on his red goggles while speeding towards the girls. The moment he looks up is the same moment the girls landed to the ground, much to the light-child's relief. "Light...don't fail me now." Fishing out a small circular mirror from his pocket, Hikaru tossed the object behind him.

As the boy's actually an essence of light, the mirror he just tossed amazingly boosts his speed to light-speed as it reflected Hikaru right near the dragons, and knocking down both Iku and Fang in the process. "Ahh! Sorry, sorry!!!" Rolling off from the two females, the redhead dusts himself. "Jeez, that was a dangerously convenient way to transport..." He muttered, outstretching his arms for the two to take to help them up.
