Return of the Dragon Warrior
Volume 1 Chapter 11: Thunder in the Distance
"Pyrrha? Are you sure this is the right way? My uncle did this test back in the day, and he didn't say anything about a creepy cave." Jaune said, trembling nervously as they stood in front of a large, dark cave on the side of a large hill.
"I'm sure, Jaune. Trust me. I have a great sense of direction." Pyrrha insisted as she began walking inside.
Jaune sighed and did his due diligence to light a torch. The darkness retreated for them under the fire light, as the craggy walls of the cave left an ominous amount of tension in the air. The blonde knight gulped and stuck close to Pyrrha, causing her to blush a bit as they soon forged on. Yet what began to freak them out was that there as simply nothing in the cave. No branches, leaves, not even much dirt on the floor. There were no mushrooms or moss clinging to the walls, or bats sleeping in the ceiling. It was as empty as an abandoned house.
"There's nothing in here. We should turn back and find the ruins." Jaune said as he scanned the cave.
"Wait… look." Pyrrha told him, pointing in the distance.
Deeper into the darkness, to their shock, were two lights. Not merely like the light that would leak in from a crack in the wall, but as if someone had put up fog lights at the end of the tunnel. The two walked further and further into the cave, not noticing underneath them a line of holes that seemed to follow them in the floor. They quickly had to avert their eyes as they got close, as the light from one of the sources on the ground came at them like a miniature sun. From what little they could see of it, it was a large smooth oval stone with a silver-white color and a miraculous sheen over it.
"What the heck is this thing? And why is it like a sun in here?" Jaune asked before picking it up and covering it with part of his shirt to cover the light.
"Maybe it's one of the Relics? A fox or something could have snatched it up and dragged it in here." Pyrrha noted, looking over the mysterious and beautiful stone.
"They've used a lot of things for Relics, but none of my family told me anything about a giant, glowing rock." Jaune replied. "Besides, a fox couldn't carry this thing in here. Heck, a racoon would be hard pressed to do it even with Aura. And we didn't see any bear tracks."
"Either way, even if it isn't a Relic, it might be valuable." Pyrrha noted, placing a hand on it. "It's… oddly warm. Almost like an egg…"
"Guess we wouldn't have to worry about heating in the winter. Or breakfast." Jaune said with a silly smile.
Pyrrha giggled at that. "Jaune, there's no way this thing is actually an egg. What in nature could lay an egg the size of a watermelon?" She replied playfully.
"A Turducken?" Jaune rhetorically asked.
"Those are not real and you know it." Pyrrha replied, rolling her eyes.
"Made you laugh though." Jaune replied with a smirk.
Pyrrha giggled. "Let's just take this thing with us. Who knows? It might be useful." She replied.
Before they could leave, however, their eyes turned to look at the other light in the cave. Though it was far dimmer, it still shone as much as the torch Jaune lit. Looking at it closer, it was oddly gourd-like… and pointy. As it slowly began to rise towards the ceiling.
"Do lights move like that usually…?" Jaune asked with a gulp.
"Jaune… run…" Pyrrha nervously told her partner.
The two then immediately bolted into a run back the way they came. As they did, the cave began to shake and rumble as something began moving within. As they ran, they looked back in concern to see the mysterious light… chasing them?! Lights didn't do that! What was that thing?!
"If we get out, I'm doing directions!!" Jaune yelled as he ran.
"Agreed!! Now focus on running!!" Pyrrha yelled back as they
"What do you think I'm doing cereal girl?!?!?!" Jaune squealed in a most unmanly way.
Soon, they saw the light signaling the entrance to the cave. Bolting at full speed, they made it outside and panted as they turned to look. As they made it out, the ground shook as the rumbling intensified. Soon, a massive figure burst from the ground. A gigantic scorpion-like creature with a white carapace and black flesh between the gaps in its armor. And, hanging from its tail like a lure, was a glowing yellow stinger. Letting out a hissing roar, it swung one of its massive pincers right at the pair.
"Death Stalker! Jaune, duck!!" Pyrrha called out, ducking down.
"But you… SAID!!!!!" Jaune said, before yelling as he was launched above the treetops by the pincer smashing into him.
"JAUNE!!!" Pyrrha called out in concern before running after her partner.
The massive scorpion then crashed into the forest, crushing and breaking trees in its wake like a bulldozer. As both Pyrrha and the Death Stalker ran off, the nearby shadows began to move, and chirp. Almost like birds. Before the sets of jaws snapped at each other and ran off. With information to sell…
Elsewhere in the Emerald Forest
"Your Aunt Petunia sounds like a lovely lady, Azura." Zhan said with a smile as the blacksmith and samurai walked through a patch of open forest.
Azura smiled. "Thank you, Mr. Vulkan. I'm sure she'd love to meet you at some point." He replied, swearing he heard something and looked up at the sky.
"Look like it going to rain Grimm on us, chief?" Zhan asked.
"No. I just swear I heard something. Almost like a little girl screaming." Azura noted in concern.
Zhan raised his eyebrow at that. "Ever consider you're getting a bit paranoid?" He asked.
"Perhaps. My senses have been on edge ever since we were thrown in here. Almost like something is following us." Azura noted, looking at the bushes and trees for any signs of moving shadows.
"If it were Grimm, then they would have ambushed us by now. Even old Grimm don't have that kind of patience." Zhan replied.
"You would be surprised, partner of mine. Some Grimm can be shockingly intelligent, even at a young age." Azura replied, eyes narrowing as he swore he saw movement in the shadows.
"As long as we don't run into a Geist, then I'll be fine. Hate those thieving bastards." Zhan said, as a shiver ran down his spine at the though.
Soon, the two heard rustling in the brush. Turning to look, they both readied their weapons. Preparing for battle at a moment's notice. However, instead of Grimm or monsters, two young women stepped out of the bushes. The taller one wore an open red shirt with a black sports bra poking out, with rugged brown pants and running shoes to match. Long brown hair was tied in a ponytail, kept out of the way of a sharply featured face with piercing blue eyes. Lean and fit of build, she held a large spear like a hunter, with the grim determination on her face to use it.
Her partner, however, was the furthest thing from her. While the taller one was a bit taller than an average woman, the shorter one barely got over five feet. Somewhat unkempt platinum blonde hair was parted away from soft blue eyes. Her features were a strange contrast of innocent and dainty, yet rugged and well worn. With a simple green rugged shirt and jeans and rugged hiking shoes, she looked more like she stepped off a farm than heading into Beacon. Yet at her side was a Tetsubō nearly as long as she was tall, belying strength that her body didn't impress upon them.
"I will take that over a Grimm any day." Zhan said with a smile. "Hello there, fellow Hunter Hopefuls."
"Who are you?" The taller girl said defensively, bracing her spear at them.
"Easy. I am Azura. This is my partner Zhan. We are simply on our way to the ruins to collect our Relic and complete the initiation test." Azura replied, taking his hand away from his blades to appear less threatening.
The taller girl then left her defensive stance. "Rena." She said simply.
The shorter girl gulped a bit but stepped forward. "Ember Hedda. It's nice to meet you both…" She said with a bit of hesitation.
"Have you two figured out the way to the ruins yet?" Azura asked curiously.
"Just the general direction north. Every time we check, the thing almost seems to be in a different place each time." Rena said what a deep sigh.
"I hear you on that. This forest's like a maze." Zhan sighed, taking his hand away from his ax.
"Not even the fun kind like a corn maze." Ember muttered.
"Perhaps we should stick together. Strength in numbers and all that." Azura suggested helpfully.
"Logical. The perimeter seems to still be holding. At least that's what it said on the app. Aside from two third years that are MIA." Rena explained as they all began to walk north.
Azura raised an eyebrow as he opened his scroll and checked the app. "Two third years not checking in. That is very strange…" He noted thoughtfully.
"What you thinking, boss? That Obsidian GPS app not working right?" Zhan asked.
"I'm thinking they might have been ambushed and the perimeter compromised. It isn't likely, but it is possible." Azura replied worriedly.
"What could jump two third years without either of the perimeter guards on their flanks not noticing something?" Rena asked, her eyebrow raised in suspicion.
"That is the part that worries me. And makes me pray to every god listening that I'm wrong…" Azura replied in concern.
"Well? What is it boss?" Zhan asked.
"My father faced a large terror of them once. They're called…" Azura began to reply as the ground began to shake, cutting him off.
The shaking was light at first, then greater, and greater, until it grew hard for them to even stand. Then, a monstrous, stone-tipped axe cleaved a tree in half roughly, snapping as one of them would a toothpick. Lurching from the shadows came large, bipedal Grimm, but unlike anything they thought was coming. The legs were somewhat short for their size, yet thick and bow-legged, as if someone mixed a bovine and human leg in a woodchipper. Their arms were long and powerful, bulging muscles that threatened to tear through the black Grimm hide, with crude stone axes gripped in at least one of their hands. Bone plates clad its arms, legs, and body like mockeries of knightly armor as its barrel chest widened the thing to force it into a sort of waddle walk. Its back buckled back, anchoring more muscle than likely was on any given person, like a roided-out bison on a bad day. Finally, anchored to a stout, barely mobile neck, sat a large, white-colored bovine skull, with large, forward-facing horns like massive blades, each black as night, and its sockets housing the burning orbs of rage like all Grimm.
"Half a dozen Labyrinth Maulers. I mean, it doesn't answer the hole in the perimeter. But that's not fun either…" Rena said with a sigh.
"Um… Then what's that?!" Zhan yelled, pointing behind the mob of bull-men.
A colossal shadow lumbered out of the forest into the day behind the Maulers. While it looked similar to them, it was grossly out of proportion to them. Easily standing as tall as a two-story house, the bull-man's wretched form was taken to an extreme. Its limbs, more crooked than ever, bulged with black muscles that seemed to defy logic. Its arms were as thick as trees, with seams down the middle as if threatening to split in half. They couldn't tell where its chest and back began and its bulging gut stopped; its midsection bloated to obscene lengths. Its skull and armor, now a deep ashen grey, was pitted with scars and bullet holes from previous battles. Yet in one of its hands was not a crude axe of stone, but a monstrous, roughly forged cleaver half as tall as it. With eyes like the cores of volcanoes looking down at the group.
"O-Oh goodie. A Labyrinth King. As if this situation couldn't get any better…" Azura noted with nervous sarcasm.
The "King" sensed the fear and put its cleaver in between its teeth, biting down and holding it firmly in its jaws. Its lesser minions did the same as they all dropped to all fours, looking like monstrous parodies of cattle. Then, with a snort of steam, the King charged with its vassals following behind. The ground shook like an earthquake as trees snapped to splinters in the King's wake. Azura was about to stand his ground before a firm hand grabbed him by the shoulder and yanked him off his feet. Azura turned in shock to see Zhan slinging him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes as he, Rena, and Ember run like hell.
"Wh-What are you doing…?!" Azura demanded in disbelief.
"You might have a death wish, but I sure as hell don't! Discretion is the greater part of valor!!" Zhan yelled as he ran.
"Z-Zodiacs do not run from battle!!" Azura replied, though his voice was clearly still nervous.
"That isn't a battle! It's a massacre waiting to happen!" Rena snapped back. "This way! They can't follow down a switchback trail!"
With a nod, Ember, and Zhan with Azura in tow followed Rena down a small trail that ran along a small ledge. On one side was a steep cliff and, on the other side, a mist-covered drop. As the three ran down the man-sized trail, the Labyrinth King lurched his head back to slow himself to a stop. Five of his vassal Grimm copied their Alpha, skidding to a stop. One, however, failed to heed the actions of its Alpha, and kept charging along. It quickly found itself too wide for the narrow path, and without any way to stop quickly, tumbled down into the cloudy ravine. Wailing before it finally fell quiet.
The Labyrinth King sniffed the air before turning right and heading further into the hills at a more measured pace, its posse following close behind. Yet behind all of this were more glowing eyes attached to snapping jaws, making bird-like chirps and coos. Chittering to themselves about the news they had to tell.
Meanwhile: At the Ruins
"Dahlia! Hurry up! I can see the ruins!" Whitley cried out as he finished cutting his way through the forest.
"Hol' on there, sugah! I'm comin'!" A feminine voice told him as the source crested the hills.
Coming out of the woods was a woman that towered over the frankly thin and short Whitley. The woman had on what would best be described as a cowgirl outfit, complete with the boots, hat, and ponytail. The only part that differed was a brown pilot's jacket. Her fair skin remained unblemished by the beating sun as her emerald-green eyes lay eyes upon the ruins before them and let out a sigh of relief.
"Huntah, chief! Come on! Keep up!" The now identified Dahlia called out behind her over her shoulder.
"Can you stop giving me titles already?! I'm losing space in my head to tell you to shut up!" Sylver's voice cried out from behind them.
"No need to be so hostile about it, chief! Now come on! We're almost there!" Dalia called back.
Sylver walked out in a huff. The boy standing next to him had long red spiked hair, pointing back in a strange mix of dreadlocks and spikes. He was relatively short and compact for a young man, his features worn and hardened from exposure to the elements. Long baggy pants and well-worn boots of Vacuan origin were contrasted by an open, black and red jacket with a striking white fur collar.
"At least we're finally here." The redhead said with a sigh.
"Doesn't mean we're out of the frying pan yet, Hunter. We got people incoming." Sylver replied.
"... Where are they?" Hunter asked, looking around.
"Two are about to drop out of the sky. Right about… now." Sylver said, before tapping his finger on a tree as he said now.
Rocketing out of the sky and through the tree line, with a screaming being mixed with a cheer, came Ruby and Weiss. The two were barely able to land on either their feet or knees, with Weiss panting heavily and putting a hand on her chest.
"What were you thinking?!" Weiss yelled at Ruby. "We could have died from that fall!"
"But we didn't and we made it to the ruins! That's the important part!" Ruby excitedly told Weiss.
"Big Sister!!" Whitley cried out before running over to hug her. "It's so good to see you!!"
As Whitley pulled her into a hug, Weiss flinched and tentatively hugged him back. "Whitley. It's nice to see you still alive and well." She told him with a small smile.
"Well, ain't that sweet?" Dahlia said with a warm smile.
"Nice landing, Ruby. Though, next time, don't do it with your knees. It's bad for them." Sylver said with a smile as he walked up to Ruby.
"You always say that! We have Aura, you know?!" Ruby replied with a pout.
"Tell that to my old man. He complains endlessly about it. And I've seen him be hit by a train and survive with his Aura up." Sylver countered with a wolfish grin.
"And you are?" Hunter asked.
"Ruby Rose!" She chipperly said.
"Weiss Schnee. Whitley's older sister." Weiss replied curtly, not being good with new people.
"Dahlia. Nice to meet you two." The cowgirl said with a smile.
"Hunter. Pleasure." The red head said.
"SOMEONE STUPID GET IN MY WAY!!!!" A loud scream called out and, strangely, it sounded like it was getting closer.
"Wait, what…?" Ruby asked in confusion before noticing a slowly growing shadow on the ground.
As Ruby looked up, she saw an armored figure falling towards her. Flinching, she covered her face instinctively as she prepared for impact. An impact that never came as Sylver gently pushed her behind him as he caught the poor fool falling from the sky with one hand as the ground cracked heavily beneath them. Said fool being a very winded and in pain, but much more grateful Jaune.
"My back…!" Jaune groaned in pain.
"Vomit Boy? What are you doing here?" Weiss asked before getting an elbow from Whitley. "Ow!"
"Be nice Weiss." Whitley sternly said.
"My name is Jaune Arc, thank you very much…!" Jaune groaned as Sylver dropped him to the ground.
Sylver winced as a ray of light leaked out of Jaune's shirt. "Dude. Turn off the flashlight." He said as he covered his eyes.
"It's not a flashlight. It's a weird stone Pyrrha and I found in a cave…" Jaune groaned as he reached into his shirt to pull it out and show them.
"JAUNE!!!" Pyrrha's voice came from the forest, before rushing out before stopping, panting and sweating profusely.
As the others checked on Pyrrha, Jaune pulled out the stone and Weiss and Whitley's eyes went wide. "Dragonstone…" The two muttered under their breath quietly.
Ruby ooh'd and aah'd over the beautiful looking stone. "It's so pretty. And bright. Can it… turn that off…?" She asked, covering her eyes from the glare.
"I don't know…" Jaune muttered.
Before anyone else could say anything, they all heard someone call out. "Come on, Ren! Quit being so slow!!" A chipper female voice called out.
"Nora, slow down!!" A male voice called out in concern.
Rushing out of the underbrush came a girl a bit shorter than Ruby with ginger hair, fair skin, and vibrant white and pink clothes. Turquoise eyes flashed and wildly looked around as a pink skirt twirled about as she ran, swinging a massive hammer taller than herself around like it was nothing. Everyone quickly backed away as a boy panted heavily as he ran out after. Black messy hair with a pink streak in it covered a fair skinned face and striking pink eyes. An emerald-green Gi covered his upper body as simple pants covered his legs. He then looked up, warily staring at the girl that had just rushed out.
"Waaaahooo!!!" Nora called out before launching herself forward with an explosion from her hammer, landing in a crouch before them as she planted her hammer on the ground. "Nailed it!"
"Nora… stop… running…" The boy panted out.
"But Ren! We're almost there! See?!" The now identified Nora called out, motioning to the ruins over the hill.
"We… don't know… what's… out there…" The boy known as Ren panted out, trying to catch his breath.
"If the perimeter had been breached, we would've been told! C'mon, Ren! You worry too much!" Nora said with a big smile.
Ren sighed. "Fine. But we should still be careful…" He told her, looking up, only to see Nora gone from where she was next to him.
Nora zipped right in front of Jaune and looked up at him. "You're tall…" Nora remarked in surprise.
"Um… thanks…?" Jaune asked in confusion.
"Name's Nora Valkyrie! What's yours?" Nora asked with a smile.
"Um… Jaune. Jaune Arc…" Jaune nervously replied.
"Like Caesar Arc?" Nora asked, surprised.
Jaune groaned. "Yes, like Caesar Arc. Commander of the Mistral First Cohort, blah, blah, blah, we get it. I'm his great-grandson." He sighed in frustration.
"That must be tough to live up to." Nora said sympathetically.
"Thank you! Finally, someone gets it!" Jaune groaned in frustration.
"Nice to meet you, Jaune. I am Lie Ren." The boy said before bowing and then looked down at Jaune's hands. "That is… a nice stone you have there."
It was at that moment that everyone noticed that the light coming from it was gone. When they looked down at it, they got a better look at it. It was, as Jaune and Pyrrha had estimated, roughly the size of a watermelon and shaped like the biggest egg they had ever seen. The color of the stone was a silverish-white and shined like polished silver despite being clearly made of stone. The strange thing about it was a symbol on it that looked like the white half of a Yin-Yang symbol outlined in black with a black-colored star in place of a dot.
"It looks… familiar to me. I believe I saw something like it in a fairy tale book once. I believe it was called a… 'Dragonstone,' if I remember right…" Ren remarked, looking the stone over.
"How do you know about that?" Weiss asked, raising her eyebrow.
"Ren did a lot of reading when he was younger. We used to read fairy tale books together." Nora explained with a smile.
As the groups began to mingle and talk over the stone, Yang and Blair walked up, which caused Ruby to rush over and hug her big sister. Yang was a bit caught off guard but smiled as she stretched her arms out to meet her hug.
"SISTERLY ENTRY!!!" Ruby called out as she dashed into Yang's arms with her Semblance, nearly bowling Yang over in a shower of rose petals as she hugged Yang tight.
Yang giggled as she spun Ruby around. "Glad to see you're okay, Rubes. You would not believe what it took for me and Blair to get here." She told her silver-eyed little sister with a smile as she put her down on her feet.Blair nodded in response. "We had to deal with some Ursa along the way. With someone losing her temper because of one hair getting cut off." She remarked with a smirk.
"Those bastards had it coming! No one touches the hair unless I say so!" Yang snarled, her eyes briefly turning red.
"... What's with the stone in Vomit Boy's hands?" Yang asked, confused.
"Why do people keep calling me that?!" Jaune groaned in frustration.
"Because you threw up on my shoes." Weiss said with an annoyed glare.
"It looks like… no, it can't be. Dragonstones aren't real." Blair remarked, looking it over closely.
"Yeah. Neat looking though, isn't it?" Jaune asked with a nervous smile.
"We should probably get our Relics before we get jumped by Grimm." Weiss said simply.
"First good thing I've heard from you all day." Sylver said with a cheeky smile, causing Weiss to roll her eyes.
"Have either of you ever heard of 'tempting fate' before?" Blair asked, raising an eyebrow.
"GANG WAY!!!" A male voice called out from in the distance.
As soon as they turned to look, the others saw Azura, Zhan, Rena, and Ember come running out with Azura being carried by Zhan. Said samurai prince squirmed as he tried to loosen his partner's grip.
"Zhan! Put me down! We've long since lost them!" Azura called out, using his partner's first name for the first time in frustration.
"All right, fine! Sheesh. Save a guy one time." Zhan grumbled as he set Azura down.
"You should be thanking us. We're not the ones who were ready to square up to a small herd of Labyrinth Maulers led by a King." Rena replied sternly.
"Aw man. That sounds like fun." Sylver groaned.
"You would say that…" Ruby muttered.
"Grab the Relics quick. We don't have much time. Something big has breached the perimeter." Azura sternly warned.
The others raised their eyebrows as Weiss spoke up. "How do you know that?" She asked in surprise.
"Two of the perimeter guards are MIA on the Obsidian app, and they have been for about an hour. That's enough space for something to slip through. Even if they reestablished the perimeter, whatever got to them is in here. And, if something slipped in, then it's something we don't want to fight." Azura explained sternly, with Yang and Ruby noticing genuine worry leaking through Azura's stony exterior.
"If Big Blue's worried, then I'm with him. Grab and go time, people!" Yang replied with a nod, standing by her friend.
The eight pairs rushed over to the stack of chessboards in the ruins, and each pair grabbed a piece. Which one didn't really matter to them, they needed to go. Then, they heard loud, and varied calls coming from the ruins deeper in the hills. As a massive Nevermore began to circle above, a massive Death Stalker crawled up one of the cliff sides, and the herd of Labyrinth Maulers and their King began walking across the only bridge to safety.
"Well, there's our only way out blocked." Hunter muttered.
"I suppose we must fight after all. Huh, Chief?" Whitley said as he pulled out his weapons.
"I will throw you at the bird if you keep this up." Sylver said as he drew his sword.
"Maybe there's a way around?" Blair asked, looking around them.
"I don't think that's an option, sugah…" Dahlia said as she looked behind them.
"Why?" Blair asked.
"They likely would want to have a word on that one." Dahlia replied, causing everyone to look behind them.
Behind them was a group of felines like Grimm with bodies like panthers. Sleek yet powerful, their bodies slunk along in near silence, with only the occasional growl at the Hunters-to-be as they made a perimeter. Unusually, they did not have much bone armor, only lines of bone running through black coats of fur. Even their skull masks weren't thick, almost as if they were painted on. Yet, from the shadows of the forest came a massive felid like them, but this one was different. Clad in spiked bone armor like an old battle cat of old, it bared two massive saber teeth at them from its maw. Its skull mask, now far heftier than its smaller brethren, was adorned with a jagged crown of spikes. Signifying its status among the group.
"Dread Stalkers and a Lord? Great. This is one hell of a way to die." Azura said exasperatedly, trying to keep himself composed.
"Yeah, maybe we should have taken a left instead of a third right that might have confused them" Sylver said as he reached for his weapon.
"What should we do, Boss?!" Zhan asked in fear.
"Form ranks and prepare for battle!" Azura called out, drawing his kage-ryū ōdachi and dropping into a ready stance.
Weiss looked over everyone, and then the Grimm before them. "He's right. We can't get over these cliffs, and that bridge is the only way we are getting out of here. Time to form up and force our way through!" She sternly said, drawing Myrtenaster.
With a nod, everyone readied themselves for a forward charge to force the Grimm aside and make a break for it. For a moment, everything stood still and quiet as the two sides sized each other up. Till the silence was broken like glass when an echoing rumble resembling a roar came from the hills behind the ruins. The Grimm froze upon hearing the roar and swiftly ran or flew past the eight. Not even attempting to attack them as they fled into the Emerald Forest as fast as their legs and wings could carry them.
"What the hell was that?" Hunter asked in shock.
Azura paled. "By my guess… whatever made it through the perimeter. And, sadly, I believe that I was not wrong about what it was…" He replied solemnly, as if resigning himself to his fate.
Before Azura could continue, they all began to feel something. At first, it felt like a small tremor, a minor shake in the ground. Yet, with each passing second, the quake grew… and grew… and grew. Until, finally, it was heard as thunderous strikes upon the earth. Almost like… footfalls.
"Thunderjaws…" Azura whispered in fear.
Blair's bow twitched as her already pale face turned white as a bedsheet. "By the gods…" She muttered in fear.
"Wait, what?" Ruby asked in confusion.
"THUNDERJAWS!!!" Azura and Blair roared in sheer terror.
To Be Continued…
