He continues down the steps in silence except for the occasional distasteful sound directed at the walls. It was a question he probably didn't want answered, and he figured it might be for the better if I building like this actually was taken down.
Artemis wanders about the bottom floor for a bit before managing to find the exit. Upon stepping out he gives another wary glance around him. There was a roar. The building shuddered, and a hole appeared in a wall. Chiller jumped out, running along a platform of sand. Behind her a monster leapt out and gave chase. She passed by Artemis, yelling at him as she did.Chiller: Found you something to blow up! *he tenses* W.what? That THING?! His feathers ruffle nervously and he changes his stance, as if expecting the creature to turn back towards him at any moment. He keeps focused on it.

Chiller laughed and shielded herself from the massive claws of the 12 ft lion-creature. Its mane sparked with energy. Tuce zoomed in and landed next to Artemis, opening her arms to him.Tuce: Don't fight this thing. Leave it to Chiller. Come with me. The monster roared again and fired a shockwave at Chiller. She and her shield were knocked backwards.

Ash: DOCTOR? No no no no. *he starts pacing around* No no no, you don't understand. He shouldn't be in a place like that and i'm not going to let something bad happen to him. You have to take me there, right now! Fish: ...Okay. But I must keep Naasoo safe! They offered one hand to Ash and the other to Naasoo.((Fish will teleport them as soon as they grab Fish's hands, so go ahead and post in Sirocco)) Ash nods and grabs on to Fish's hand, his other one holding his bags. He's unsure if Fish means to walk them there, so he gives them both a confused glance.

Tuce: *hugs him and strokes his hair* If Chiller dies, she will receive the release she seeks. Chiller raised her shield hurriedly, this time spiking the outside as the monster hit at it. It yelped and retreated backward, giving Chiller time to stand up. She yelled at Artemis without taking her eyes off the beast.Chiller: Bird brain! Aren't you going to attack!? Tuce gently put a hand on Artemis' face and tried to turn his attention away from the scene.Fish: ...Okay. But I must keep Naasoo safe! They offered one hand to Ash and the other to Naasoo.((Fish will teleport them as soon as they grab Fish's hands, so go ahead and post in Sirocco)) Ash nods and grabs on to Fish's hand, his other one holding his bags. He's unsure if Fish means to walk them there, so he gives them both a confused glance. (( Prooobably Not Jeffely)) Fish teleported them onto the scene. They were next to the building, close enough to see what was going on but still some distance from Artemis.

Tuce: I... I want you to be safe. She stopped trying to turn him away, instead looking to the scene herself. Chiller was stabbing at the animal with a long sand spike. It left her open, and the monster darted a paw in a raked claws across her font. She screamed.Chiller: Feather face?!Tuce: Oh Artemis...

But...you don't ev- He gets cut off by the scream and turns to look over. The sight seems to freeze him for some moments, before he takes a deep breath. Hey, you! *he braces himself, glaring at the monster* COME AT ME.

His eyes went wide and he instantly adopted an aggressive stance. What was that... creature. He flew into a panic. WHAA? What place? Now like home! NOW like home! He reaches into the inner pocket of his clothes again, taking out the final item he had brought with him. They looked like two batons, but with a half-sphere at the end of each. They weren't very long, but they emitted a low humming noise and appeared to be weapons. He looks at the monster. What is??

Ash, caught off guard by the teleportation, takes some moments to piece together what had happened. The sight before him is unexpected, and upon noticing the monster and Artemis he drops his bags. Ash: I.t.. *he looks down at Fish* I thought you SAID HE WASN'T IN DANGER?

Hey, you! *he braces himself, glaring at the monster* COME AT ME. Tuce watched, anxiety-stricken as Artemis chose to fight the monster.Tuce: ... I know you well enough. Enough to reasonably justify her desire to protect him. That was what he was about to say, wasn't it? What if he was about to say "But you don't even have an attacking ability"? It would be true. She was only in the way here. She rose up into the air on her windboard to remedy the situation, preparing to dive in and whisk Artemis away if the need arose. The monster didn't even glance at Artemis, its attention on its wounded opponent. Chiller had stopped defending, and was throwing all her efforts into stabbing the animal.Prooobably Not Jeffely, MailFish: It's a creature of the abandoned district! Reality warps bring them from all worlds and dimensions! Fish not know about this ahead of time! Naasoo, Ash, too dangerous! We leave! They offered their hands to Ash and Naasoo again.

Naasoo seemed to ignore Fish, fixated on the beast and the figure it was attacking. He could hear A-ii-a-uu in the back of his head chiding him for not investigating. And also for not practicing, but he could fix that. I help! This home same! Naasoo scampered closer to the beast, the metal batons in his hand buzzing. With a great leap, he landed not 10 feet away from the battle, clearly intending to engage directly.

It looked at Naasoo and snarled, and Chiller stabbed it again with her sand daggers, cursing the fact that the only sand she had was what she'd been able to carry in her pockets.

Are you crazy?! *he watches Naasoo make his way to the beast* ...BOTH OF YOU ARE CRAZY I SWEAR. Artemis huffs loudly, starting a run before spreading his wings and using them to propel a leap towards the creature's back. AHHHH!! *he bares his teeth and pulls an arm back in preparation, no notice being given to Chiller or Naasoo*

AHHHH!! *he bares his teeth and pulls an arm back in preparation, no notice being given to Chiller or Naasoo* Chiller saw him and the small creature she guessed belonged to the 50 some odd races of Neopia. Guessing at what Artemis was about to do, she ran to her small, apparent ally to cover them with a sand shield. Up close she noted they were actually a little different and might not be Neopian after all. As she ran, the beast took another swipe, raking her back and causing her to fall. She sent the sand to Naasoo for a shield, keeping just enough to herself for a minor head barrier.
