Wings of Fire: The Darkest Hour (Not Accepting)

[broner]

"Why? This is my battle!" he returned the gesture, ignoring the stinging on his cheek. He couldn't use his right side well, but he knew that Hope wouldn't kill him either.

[ghostmaker]

Hope felt a surge of strength rush through her. I have to make it. My friends do need me. She brought her back legs up and slammed them into the SandWing. She used her front talons to pry the SandWing's talons off her neck. Snarling, she pushed Sidewinder off into a cage with some sort of hybrid in it and the bars rattled off.

[AGGUA!]

Sidewinder-
Sidewinder lashed out with her barbed tail as she slammed into the bars, feeling it hit scales and slice neatly through them. She wasn't sure who she had hit, but she hoped it was the damn rainwing. She fell to the stone ground but got up quickly, leaping back through the bars of the cell and raking her talons down towards the rainwing's neck as she passed. "YOU HAVE FUN!!!" she snarled. She was getting out of here. The hybrid was free, she had no reason to stay. She felt another tremor and she was knocked onto the ground, unfurling her wings and lunging into the sky and out through the exit.

Reaper-
Reaper didn't hesitate when he was freed. He scrambled through the open space of his cage, and without so much as a backwards glance, spread his wings and took to the skies. If it was the hybrid thing that was causing this, he wasn't about to stick around. Let the prophecy dragonets deal with it, even though they would all die.

Hope roared in pain as barb met scale. She fell to the ground in a pool of blood. Weakly looking up at Rift, she felt mixed emotions, but she had to save as many dragons as she could. "Leave! Go somewhere safe. The thing that's shaking the mountain will kill us all if we don't get out in time." She took a ragged breath. "Go. I would rather die knowing you were safe. You probably hate me, but you were like my brother in the mountain. Just go.." Her voice trailed off as she fell unconscious for a second time.

[ ..Well that just erupted in chaos xD But at least this is way more active now. ]

The grin across Foreseer's face grew wider, and she hopped down elegantly to the bottom of the cave and walked to the edge of the wide circular tunnel. She slowly bowed respectfully, gold eyes closed for a moment before opening to gaze up at the massive black dragon. "I have searched for so long to free you," she said, her voice strong and unwavering. "But, I never thought to search here. And now.." she stood up, pacing closer to the edge of the hole and grinning down at Snowstorm. "..I thank you, Snowstorm. I knew your powers would come in handy. But not.. like this," waving her talons toward the rock heap. "But no matter."

Torrent slowly stepped out of her cell, staring at the unconscious Hope with an expression of pity and confusion. She turned her eyes to Rift, and took his right talons with her own. Even if she didn't know him well.. She still cared. "They care for you. I know they do," Torrent said softly. Like I do, she thought quietly, but didn't voice it. "There's something happening. Something big, I know," she said with a gesture at the prison around them. The tremors were stronger than ever, knocking stone from the walls and ceiling. "They're down there. I know they are, and they need you." Torrent smiled at him, flicking her tail. "And I'll be there with you."

Cobra finally lifted her head as Sidewinder unlocked her cell, stepping out as the small battle ended. She gazed disdainfully at the older SandWing as she flew out, unfurling her own wings and glancing with a similarly sullen look at Rift and Torrent. "Hey. Love birds," she said nonchalantly, waving her talons. "I don't know if you've noticed, but this place is probably gonna collapse on itself in.. two minutes? So get your butts out of here before it does." Cobra grabbed Hope's tail and slung the RainWing over her shoulder, spread her wings, and flew unsteadily out of the dark cave.

[AGGUA!]

Sidewinder-
There was only one problem with Sidewinder's escape plan; she had absolutely nowhere to go. She couldn't go to the sand kingdom... She could never go back there. She couldn't go to the ice kingdom, either, or the rain/night kingdom. What did that leave? The sky kingdom? No way, too close to her old haunts. And the sea kingdom wasn't that ideal, either. She watched that one hybrid, Reaper, disappear into the dark clouds, on his way back to the mainland. But she angled her wings, sailing down towards the rocky beach and landing on the slick stones. The tremors weren't as strong here, but it felt like the volcano was exploding. It wasn't... But that's what it felt like. As though the entire island would be blown into oblivion.

Wrethen-
Wrethen narrowed his eyes at Foreseer, his black tongue slipping in and out from between jagged black teeth. "You... Have," Wrethen mused in a deep raspy voice, like gravel going through a meat grinder. Down in the dark, he felt his serrated hind talons grasp some sort of stone, and he shoved off of it, bringing the rest of his wings through the hole. These he spread in the cave, wrapping everyone in blackness. It was like light would never shine down here again.

Pharaoh-
Pharaoh struggled to his talons, looking up, but he no longer saw the stone around him. It was just a vast blackness... No stars on the underside of the hybrids wings, like a nightwing. His scales refused to change color, like a rainwing. So that meant that he didn't have certain abilities... But he still looked like death itself. "Foreseer, don't trust him!" Pharaoh hissed quietly, wondering if she could hear him through the rumbling of the ground.

[broner]

Rift was speechless as Torrent took his talons in hers, and he felt his face heat unnaturally. The world spun, but it all fell back into its horrible place as Cobra took the RainWing and reminded them that they were all goners. "Come on," he prompted Torrent, leading her out of the prison. "Let's make this count."

Taleweaver didn't hesitate before bounding away and leaping from the dungeon into the welcoming sky, spreading her star-speckled wings and flapping them with renewed vigor.

Gale cried out in dismay as waves upon waves of dragons exited the dungeon, scrambling about with a combination of panic and 'I'm free!' emotions. While the open sky gave him a greater sense of clarity, he felt cheated out of his, and only his, freedom. He shook in the air and flew off even farther.

[Yveltal]

Foreseer gave Pharaoh a disdainful sideways look. "I've gone too far to give up now, SandWing. Your little band of mongrels can't stop me, and I'd like to see you try." She turned back to Wrethen, seemingly the only one not intimidated by his massive size. "My name is Queen Foreseer," she said calmly, bowing again. "I.. need your assistance, in a certain matter." She knew that the prospect of taking over Pyrrhia would be tempting to him. After all, didn't he try to two thousand years ago? But if he had mindreading, then he already knew what she was about to ask.

Snowstorm slowly rose fully, eyes not leaving the hybrid. She spread her wings slightly, but it might be impossible to fly out. He could grab her by the time she was barely out. But she had to get to Pharaoh. Edging along the wall, Snowstorm quickly spread her wings and launched into the air with a powerful beat. She shot past Wrethen and out of the hole, about to dive towards Pharaoh.

Torrent followed the other SeaWing out, spreading her wings and lifting into the sky. She circled above the volcano, the dark fortress lit by the midday sun. She had memorized a rough map of the volcano that she had made, trying to think of places where the tremors could be coming from. "They transferred me to a lot of prisons within the volcano when others got full," she said thoughtfully, but shuddered slightly at the thought of so many imprisoned dragons. "I memorized a good few tunnels deep in the mountain." Torrent quickly scanned the collapsed side, then pointed to the base. "Let's go," she said, diving towards a dark tunnel in the very base of the volcano. "This should lead us towards the heart of the volcano."

[ghostmaker]

Hope opened her eyes to find herself in midair being held by another dragon. She wriggled out of the other dragon's grasp and flapped her wings. "I have to go back! I have to find my friends!"She descended towards the volcano and looked up. "Thank you. Now go somewhere safe!" Her wings stopped flapping and she fell. Frantically flapping them, she regained balance a few feet above a thin layer of rock and she fell down, cracking it. Cracks turned to gaps and the floor gave way. Yelping, she flapped her wings and hovered above the hole.

[AGGUA!]

Wrethen- Pharaoh-
"Yesss.... I know," Wrethen hissed, like a snake. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and let out a piercing roar, causing another enormous tremor in the earth. He lunged up towards the icewing and sandwing. Pharaoh's eyes widenened and he beat his own wings. "Snowstorm let GO! Let me get out of here on my own, just GO!" He clawed at her strong forearms, wanting her to let go. At least then she had a chance at escape. Wrethen felt his back legs scrape against the hole, but his back talons dug into the rim and he hoisted the rest of himself out of his prison, along with his tail. He was FREE! FULLY FREE! His jaws parted, eager to bite down on the icewing's tail and drag her down into the depths of his belly, to try and ebb his hunger.
