[Center][h2][color=662d91]--- Shor Ehm ---[/color][/h2] [@Thewizardguy][/Center] Now seperated by a thick wall of stone, Shor was unable to reach Kubo and treat his wound(s). Shor called for Kubo...But nobody came. Deciding to break the rock wall, Shor prepared her stone hammer. Slamming down several times, she was painfully reminded of the wound gotten from the metal armadillo. [color=662d91]"Motherf*****."[/color] Not only would she be unable to keep this up for too long, it also seemed that the noise had attracted a manabeast. It was a brown-ish chameleon. Shor almost decided to ignore it until it jumped at her, its skin turning metallic and tripling in size. With a quick curse Shor sidestepped the chameleon, it neatly landed on the rubble from the cave-in and shot it's tongue at her. A mistake. Shor caught the tongue out of the air and gave it a pull, sending the chameleon soaring through the air like a yo-yo. Swinging the frightened chameleon around her, Shor started pummeling the rock wall with it. Three strikes in she had some good progress, but after those three strikes the chameleon seemed to have died and it returned to its normal brown color and regular size. Unable to progress quickly through the wall, Shor turned the chameleon's tail into a metal reagent. Making a necklace out of the curled tail, she now had a proper metal artifact. She immediately started using it, the skin on her arms turning metallic in color. With her now metal-covered arms she proceeded to pummel the wall of rubble, making some progress, but she would need something bigger. Her call would be heeded as a massive earthen creature approached her. Or charged her, Shit. The huge earthen stegosaurus barely fit in the passage and seemed unimpressed by the rock wall. Shor had a feeling she could use this creature to her advantage if she could find a way to not get squished by it. Up was not an option, it seemed capable enough of running through the rock wall. Its sides were also not the place to go since those almost touched the passage's walls. Barely in time Shor dropped to the floor and covered her entire body in metal. She hadn't ever believed in any gods, but she was praying this would go right. Its lower body scraped against Shor as it rushed past. It tried to stop, but couldn't do so in time, resulting in it slamming into and through the rock wall, getting stuck in the middle of it. Removing the metal cover, Shor summoned her hammer once more and covered it in metal. She was going to go THROUGH this thing. The creature was flailing madly, its tail only centimeters away from hitting Shor. She rushed forward, ducked under its tail and hit it at the base. It's tail made a loud cracking noise before going almost entirely limp. Shor did the same for it's hind legs, cauing it to stop moving on her side. Shor hit the creature's hip several times, slowly digging throught its side. Somewhere halfway through, blood was pooling around Shor's feet and a dying screech could be heard. After having slammed away the creature's back half, Shor tramsformed her hammer into a bent shovel and dug out the creature's intestines, leaving only bloody bones and a few hints of muscle tissue. Eventually arriving at the front, the creature's width became inadequate to move through. Shor hestitated for a second, but then stuck the bent shovel between two of the spine's joints and separated them, it took her a good time, but eventually she had managed to sever the creature's neck and body, leaving a passage in the wall supported by its ribcage. With Kubo now within reach, Shor rushed at him applying some serious first aid...and second aid...also some third aid. It could never hurt to be sure. After having made sure Kubo was still- and would keep breathing, Shor looked around. The spider was visible from here, not covered entirely in rock like the other side. The room itself, despite Kubo's best effort to keep away from those, lead into a dead end, in there was a spider's nest, obscured by a thick layer of crytal-web. After cutting throught the web, five spiderlings came forth, originally protected by the mother spider. The spiderlings weren't nearly as dangerous or as fast as the spider however and in a few strikes they were flat and dead. Collecting the reagents from them, Shor returned to the big spider. She dragged it out from under the rock, leaving maybe a leg or two behind. Collecting the reagent from the spider, she concentrated the mana into a small crystal that she put in Kubo's pocket. After collecting all the reagents to be had (including the stegosaurus' drawn from his guts and severed bodyparts) Shor picked up Kubo, carefully dragged him through the ribcage-passage and put him on her back. Smiling gently, she whispered to Kubo; [color=662d91]"See? You can't beat super-strength."[/color] Having made her way out of the mine, Shor returned to the air-bus, carefully placing Kubo in a corner-seat. On the ride back several people had tried to ask why Shor's friend lay there unconscious, but she'd snarled at them clarifying she would answer no such questions. One guy even tried to pickpocket Kubo, said person had a broken arm about a second later. Back at the orphanage, Shor went to a healer, it was early in the night and the healer seemed more surprised by Kubo being dragged here on Shor's back than by the injuries themself. Shor was a bit infamous after all. Laying Kubo down on the bed she soon fell asleep on the chair next to it, her head resting on the bed even as the healer took care of her arm.
