Grey woke and finally moved after a while finding his cage broken, his eyes where still dull with a faint light of hope.
He forced himself to move towards the center of the explosion. There was sparks of energy all over the ceiling while buildings where all blown away with dead bodies all over.
Greys body felt fine but he felt extremely mentally exhausted while his body kept shivering like a scared child's.
When he came to the center of the explosion he saw a exhausted snake panting her forked tongue rapidly grasping for air while a charred body was before her.
Some light finally returned to his eyes, seeing someone he considered a friend safe and relatively unharmed brought some sense of comfort to his aching heart.
Jades eyes slowly connected to his and she smiled at him. "I sorry-"
Was all she could say before she passed out on the ground.
Grey looked at her and then at the entrance of the cave as he went to her body ~sigh~ "always me cleaning up after everyone else's mess. What if wanted to cause a mess and just pass out leaving you to clean up?"
A voice come from behind "so all this damage from a weak rabbit and a sleeping snake?"
"I told you that Uggr was definitely going to cause us all trouble one day"
Grey looked up and saw three goblins
One was a muscular grey hobgoblin at the center while the two behind was two normal green goblins.
One of the green goblins turned the stone beneath him into mud and slid down coming while staring at Jade.
"Dang she is one big idiotic snake, setting off such a huge explosion and not expecting the whole cave to collapse."
The other goblin followed him before replying "This is why earth rune users like us are so important we keep the cave from collapsing especially after a big fight like this."
The grey hobgoblin seemed to float down on smoke and ash. And with a tone of authority said "quickly cage these beast we need to know what happened before we eat them… in second thought keep the female she looks like she is close to tier 4 then we will have her replace the dead with interest."
Grey just stared at them in shock as a stone cage surrounded Jades limp body.
Grey quickly used the flow of energy in his body to strengthen himself as he dashed forward sand slowly formed around his paw combing into a golden disc.
He threw his golden haze at the green goblin that formed the cage as he rushed to punch the one next to him.
Before he or his disc could touch anything ash like dust particles formed blocking both attacks.
"You think a mere low tier one beast can do anything it pleases infront of me? Let me show your place. You're just a meal."
The leader floated close to grey as he used the ash to safely move the others away.
Grey just saw how casual he was acting like he wasn't even a threat which just pissed off grey even more as he charged forward with no plan in mind just raw rage and instinct.
Grey ran all around the goblin kicking and slashing trying almost every angle but every time he attacked a clump of ash formed blocking all hits.
No matter how fast grey felt he was moving none of his attacks landed.
The grey goblin just let out a heavy sigh after a bit before slapping grey away, sending grey flying head first into some rubble.
Grey slowly pulled his head from the rubble he landed with in fury in his eyes as his golden eyes slowly started turning red while his golden disc slowly disappeared.
Greys entire fur slowly started retreating inside his body as green scales grew and two long fangs extended from his mouth; As he let out a loud screech of pain.
"Oh well now that's a surprise you don't seem to be a regular rabbit? Hmm i might keep you as a pet if your useful" the leader said with a twisted smile that shook souls.
Grey dashed forward again but more frenzied than before like a possessed beast.
Greys speed seem to surprise the leader but it still wasn't enough as grey felt a back hand launch him away again.
That slap seemed to wake grey up as he finally noticed his bodies changes "What the hell happened to me?"
Greys ears quickly perked up as he heard the leader approaching. This time grey took a few seconds to think of a plans when he saw cracks all over the stone ceiling.
Grey smirked as the red energy stretched from his eyes and slowly surround his body with a faint glow.
The leader noticed the red aura chaotically cloaking the rabbits body and a chill went down his body.
By pure muscle memory he lifted his hands and several ash wall formed a multilayered dome.
Grey punched the walls but this time parts of it fell off it and didn't reform. He saw this and quickly got an idea as his paws started vibrating he was able to quickly dig through the ashen walls.
Abruptly the leader appeared behind him kicking him away. "What the hell are you? What is that red energy? I can feel parts of my power being disconnected every time you touch it."
The goblin leader just looked at his leg that touched grey as it felt like all energy there was running rampant.
Grey looked around and saw jades cage near where he landed so he quickly summoned his golden Haze disc towards the cage after sending vibrations through it.
The disc also slightly pulsed red as it sliced through the stone cage.
After seeing that Jades cage was opened grey just grinned like a maniac as his throat pulsed with a very faint blue energy.
Grey looke up, he remembered what everyone told him before as he only used only half his rune energy. and let out a loud
~HOWL~
The sound rung out everywhere in the cave hurting ears all over.
But the leader look frightened as sonic waves red in color hit the ceiling
"The both of you ARE IDIOTS!!! You'll kill as all under this mountain."
"DO YOU TWO IDIOTS NOT HAVE ANY SELF PRESERVATION!!"
The was shocked one idiot let out a massive explosion inside a cave while the other was purposely trying to bury them.
He tried to run but his leg felt weak so he used his ash particles to lift him into the air to fly away.
Before he could take his next breath a boulder fell on his head quickly crushing his body.
The whole cave started to collapse as red cracks spread all over the ceiling rapidly.
Grey ran with all his might towards Jade to drag her out of the cave.
He dragged her quickly to the exit but not fast enough. At that moment he wished he had wing to be even faster to save her.
At that moment he felt a quick pulse of energy from his core spread to his back as bat like wings grew flapping powerfully as he flew very close to the ground.
The wings launched the both of them towards the cave exit.
Boulders fell all over the place one fell straight ahead blocking his path it only at that time he realized he didn't know how to change directions.
