There was a chill in the air, a sense of foreboding. That sinking feeling you get when disaster is about to strike. You know the one? Yeah, that's what Vaneera had going through her body right now, as she was retrieving the basket of eggs. Normally, she'd be thankful about the fact that there was zero interruptions in her attempt to secure them. But as she turns her head, she can see it happening... Gyun was throwing something. Something that looked a lot like a bomb. Nearly as soon as it leaves his hand, he yells out the exact words that Vaneera didn't want to hear.
"WHAAAAAAT THE HEEECK?!", she cried, knowing already that his target was the Heartless holding the sack filled with explosives. The big dopey grin that Gyun had didn't really help her feelings on the matter.
Nor did the resulting massive explosion, that Vaneera could have sworn would level half the ruins. The Keyblade Wielder did the first thing she could think of in order to protect herself and the eggs! That was, of course, Reflect. By the time everything was said and done, the red-haired girl was left catching her breath...
"Too close... That was too close. Somehow, we weren't buried, or blown away...", she spoke with a shiver. Miraculously, both Vaneera herself, and the basket of eggs were completely unharmed.
Eventually, she'd start walking, taking the path to return to the ranch... Though along the way... She'd pause just long enough to attempt to deliver a bonk on the head to Gyun for his trouble.
"Warn us next time!!"
That would be all she would say to Gyun. Once that was out of the way, she'd pause for just a moment... Looking around to both find and check on Roxas. Hopefully he was uninjured in the explosion as well..._______ Gyun Roxas Actions: 1 - Reflect to defend herself and the Chocobo Eggs from the resulting explosion 2 - Vaneera is now carefully carrying the Eggs with her, after having retrieved them safely.

As Roxas tracked the arc of the deftly thrown bomb, his eyes widened as he realized what was happening. Fortunately Vaneera was with the egg, so in a blink he dove for cover with Flash Step to dart behind a large, mossy rock on the edge of the clearing. He felt and saw the ground shake as the massive explosion went off and hoped Gyun would be okay. As the dust settled and the sounds of battle could no longer be heard, he peered over the edge of the rock, and, when he saw all was clear and that Vaneera and her charge was safe, he leapt to his feet with a grin.
"We did it!" he quickly half-leapt, half-climbed over the rock to rejoin his party. "Is everyone okay?" He didn't seem particularly bothered by Gyun's tactic, and a victory was a victory. "The egg is alright?" Luckily with a quick glance there were no cracks or chips to be seen.
"Okay, let's get going. It's getting pretty late," they started back up the path to the ranch. Roxas moved past Vaneera to the front of the group, in case they ran into any more trouble, and kept glancing back over his shoulder to the egg.

Gyun is quite proud of himself for soundly vanquishing the foe in a highly tactical manner! which makes it all the more frustrating when the girl flips his biggest switch and bops him on the head. Which musses his main. He makes an upset yowly kitty noise and immediately swats her right back, on the butt as she walks by, because it's at arm level and immediately available, and apparently we aren't respecting personal space now. he then goes about readjusting his main and grooming all of the crimson strands back in place. The moomba perks slightly, seeing as it's apparently time to go back and scampers after Roxas. Well that's fine with him, he likes it when a mission goes quickly and successfully, because things have a tendency to go sideways in his experience for no particular reason.

| ❝ When the dust and smoke cleared the group would find themselves free of an enemy. It was easy to dismiss the encounter as a wild ride as the entire journey just seemed as if they were continuously pulling and struggling against the reigns of a crazy, bucking chocobo! But with eggs safe the adventurers could now make it out of the woods, and since they were not yet they would need to take care.
The sound of rumbling could be heard. It seemed the Heartless was far from a load-bearing boss: but the bombastic antics of the Moomba had created a weakness in the steel frames and concrete walls that remained to maintain the ruins in question from sinking into the woods. It would take many quick steps to get out as there was no Behemoth nesting to deter their path, but it seemed that despite their efforts to make a quick departure the trio would have their work cut out for them.
It was in this that the ever old saying of cracking a few eggs to make an omelette was not the most orthodoxed way to get one's breakfast because at the mouth of the river the Egg Thief would land in the mud with a loud squelch! Staggering to its feet it looked shaken and shook, antennae smoking from the previous overture of explosions. Shaking its head it would look into its back of tricks only to find a few wiggling Egg Bombs remained. They were set on their task! Moving to bury a few eggs into the soil it would scrtawl a note on a piece of driftwood before posting it on a tree on teh adventurer's path.
||-[-]|[]/|-I||]>![?
Heartless were not necessarily literate...
The Heartless stood at the river holding an egg timer and would twist it.
Tick
tick tick

The ticks got faster and faster. It was a minefield of eggs and the only safe spot was like where the Heartless was at the river's bank!

Vaneera felt a sharp impact on her bottom, and she froze up because of that. A light blue blush, and a scowl formed on her face, and as soon as Gyun tried to run right by like nothing happened... She would deliver a kick to his own butt; and she wasn't holding back. She was going for gold, not caring if he was sent rolling through the air as a result of her chosen punishment for his retaliation. The Keyblade Wielder was left holding the height of her kick as a pose, and then would calmly return to a normal standing position.
"You touch me again, and I'll hit you so hard that your Grandfather will see stars.", she warned only once. And she probably would have kept her eyes on him if not for the fact that the ruins around them were literally starting to fall apart as a result of the explosion. She sighs exasperatedly.
"Dammit... Okay, we have to go now!"
Vaneera was doing her best to move fast while keeping her balance and not damage the Chocobo Eggs. However, something catches her eye as she skids to a stop, and gestures for the other two to do the same. Because she could see it up ahead after the thoughtfully placed 'sign'... The Heartless from before. It was still alive, and it stood at the river bank they needed to cross in order to get to safety, and back to the ranch.
She took the time to look at the ground before advancing, if this thing could place a "warning", then it probably placed traps as well.
"Careful where you move, or where you throw any explosives! I think our escape route has just been cut off on the ground..."
It was hard to tell if there was anything freshly dug up or not, but she wasn't going to risk it regardless. She braces herself, and jumps up into the tree branches, and begins to hop across, Keyblade in one hand, and basket in the other. She wasn't exactly in the best position to attack right now, so this was more keeping herself defended while she tried to close the distance... The other two would have to handle this.
But she would yell one last thing before it was all said and done...
"NO BOMBS!!"
That was directed at Gyun, of course.______ Gyun Roxas Actions: 1 - Jumped to the trees 2 - Actively hopping across to each branch, trying to evade the minefield entirely as she closes the distance 3 - Doing her best to keep balance, and ready to defend herself Cooldowns: Strike Blitz (2/3) Reflect (1/2)

Roxas stiffened as he felt the tremors of the first explosion detonate behind him. Not needing Vaneera to tell him twice, together they started through the ruins at a sprint, as slowly as they dared while carrying the fragile cargo. But not a moment later they spotted the shadowy thief and its battalion of bombs obstructing their path. "Be careful, it looks like it's back for more!"
Vaneera lept into the safety of the treetops, trying to avoid risking damage to the chocobo egg. "Good thinking!" Roxas gave a curt nod. "We'll cover you here on the ground!" He summoned his two keyblades with a flourish before rushing forward to meet the crafty heartless head on. Using Burst Charge to quickly close the distance between his target—time was of the essence—his weapons sliced an X shape through the Egg Thief in the blink of an eye, before he spun and skidded to a halt a few feet away so as to not to leave his back to the enemy. His goal was to distract it long enough for Vaneera to find safety with the egg.

This mission has been so full of wonderful decisions. The latest was a decision by one girl named Vaneera to punt a moomba. Why would you ever punt a moomba, they're good spirits and only do what they experience is appropriate! They're practically children. For shame. Gyun was certainly not expecting it and, most unfortunately, continued movement in the forward direction leads directly into a minefield. Vaneera had the sense to avoid it, but not the sense to not kick the feline's butt as hard as she could. Moomba are not terribly large creatures, and are rather easy to kick across a room by the average adult, to say nothing of vindictive children with superpowers. This particular place being outside, however, means that the moomba goes A: Flying a a little bit, and B: Tumbling. Right into the active mine field with a soft thumping, most likely setting several... or maybe all of them off in a chain reaction. "No explosions." she says.

| ❝ The runts seemed to be doing well enough keeping their feet firmly planted off the ground and away from those eggy timers. The Thief stamped its foot and fumed at their ingenuity and would begin rolling up their sleeves for the coming fandango! But it seemed there were other plans. The Moomba had been hurled a considerable distance out into the field as the woman leapt into the trees above. While the thief watched the firery cat of passion fall in slow mo it was not until Roxas' weapon came into contact with its face that it saw eggs fluttering over its eyes before coming to collapse and burst into smoke: its heart floating off to feed life to yet another Heartless...
It was a good thing ROxas was facing the Egg Thief because the explosion was not something he would have liked to look t. It wasn't cool. The plume of smoke and fire soon dissipated and showed a field now bereft of bombs.
But this meant that the Eggs had no master. Those that had not succumb to the eruption of cat and Keyblader would pop out of the ground and angrily dance. If they made it past the rivers the Heartless would defuse and be unable to light! A wet fuse was a useless one after all! Once across they would have to book it to the ranch as the sun was starting to set and the eggs would not survive the chilling night out in Eos!

Roxas was one of the first to leap into action when it came to dealing with the problem at hand, closing the distance at an almost absurd pace and all without setting off any of the mines... Instead, he took out the notorious bomb-throwing heartless and egg thief without issue! Just as she was about to let out a sigh of relief, though... She realized that the little egg heartless weren't disappearing either. Instead, they popped out of the ground and began an angry dance.
Yeah, they were LITERALLY ticking time bombs now. "Crap, okay. No more mines at least, focus on speed!", she calls out to her team mates, and then abandons the prospect of the trees, no sense in relying on the branches now, they needed to get across the river first of all, that would prevent the majority of the explosions. And after that, they needed to get back to the ranch as soon as possible... These chocobo eggs had to be getting cold, and she didn't want to perform a careful experiment with her fire magic to try and warm them up just right.
The faster they got back, the better... Good thing Blacknore drilled in some of the most demanding types of training into her. The Keyblade Wielder took off at her highest speed, moving with grace and managing to keep the basket from overturning and throwing the eggs all over. "Here we go!!"
The red-haired girl moved fast, a testament to the fact that she was trained as a solo operative for fighting Heartless. Although in this case, she was running away from the especially speedy types. Not that it really mattered if she outran them entirely or not, she just needed to keep out of range just long enough for the explosions to go off. Basically... Don't let anything hold you back!
Couldn't get any simpler than that. She trusted Gyun and Roxas to be able to get themselves out of whatever situation they were in. Vaneera would be the first to cross the river, hopping across the Gigantoad that they had defeated earlier. She takes a brief moment to look back and check on the others. Even if they needed it, and if she wanted to help... She couldn't really afford to get caught up on that. They were starting to run out of time, and there was only so much she could do from range.
She just gave a silent wish for their safety, and took off for the ranch. They were both capable enough, they should catch up to her soon enough. So she just had to focus on getting the job done. Sooner she did that... If something DID go wrong, she could rush back over and help.
"Didn't know being part of a team would be so nervewracking...", she'd mutter to herself, then keeping full focus on her forward momentum as she navigates the terrain. She should have enough time to make it back if she keeps running...------- Gyun Roxas Cooldowns: Strike Blitz (3/3) Reflect (2/2)

The hair on the back of Roxas' neck stood on end as, for one moment, he watched the dancing eggs wriggle up from the earth and sway in a way that was almost mesmerizing, before the hissing sounds of many small fuses reminded him that they needed to move. "Let's go!!" he shouted, "Come on, Gyun!" before taking off. He saw Vaneera overhead out of the corner of his eye, surprised by the speed at which she was moving despite her cargo. Letting his keyblades dissipate he took off after her, though not at full speed; he wanted to make sure Gyun had gotten up okay and was following behind them. He nearly stumbled over the root of a tree while glancing over his shoulder. If all was well, Roxas, a keyblade wielder known for his agility, was sure he wouldn't have much trouble making it to the river, unless he really did trip and fall.

Gyun is absolutely not fine! Not by a long shot. In fact he's lying face down in the dirt, kind of smoldering, which is weird, because the explosions weren't particularly fiery. It takes a few seconds after the madness has calmed down before he begins to even twitch. The moomba makes a sad, pathetic sort of squeaky noise, then wiggles his forepaws meekly. A brief moment later, there's a soft twinkling sound as a mote of sparkling light swirls around his abused frame, restoring some of his vitality with the power of Cure. Immediately afterward, the Moomba springs to his feet despite looking like he's a few inches from death instead of just one, and begins moving at full pelt despite his wobbly legs back toward where they are supposed to return to.

| ❝ Oh how little they knew about teams... But that aside it was seemingly a simple task to scurry past the egg field! Yolk after tried old yolk did the kitchen accessories erupt in a cacophonous series of blasts. Across the river a cart pulled by two yellow chocobos rolled up. In the back were bales of hay and pulling it was old Wiz himself!

LAIKA OF GS! "Ah! Kiddos, when ya didn't get back I started to worry! Hop in!" He patted the back of the cart before driving off towards the farm. Looking back the explosions seemed pretty pathetic considering how small they were. One could be forgiven to look back, but at least it wasn't them in that field. Small or not that would have hurt. Wiz drive the lot back to the ranch and unloaded. Helpers would take the eggs back to the incubators. "Whoo wee, just in time. The dark came real fast. But feel free to stay in the trailer til mornin', ain't no telling what worse comes out at night." He warned. GM: My deepest apologies for being late to end this. Holidays really snuck up on us as did irl. You guys did great keeping up. Conider this the end of this event but you are free to continue your posts and you will be compensated for your efforts! Until than feel free to post until you decide to make an exit or until I officially start the next part. The next event will be much more timely. Thanks again. [END]

Explosions were still a little nervewracking if you hadn't experienced them very much before. Although the ones further off in the distance certainly bothered her less than being in ground zero of one, so... There was that. She sees that Roxas makes it out of the blast zone just fine, but Gyun... Well, he got caught in it because of what she did earlier. The Keyblade Wielder definitely felt guilty about that. But it seems as though all of the dangers were taken out, and now they would even get a free ride back courtesy of a conveniently arrived cart.
Vaneera would take the time to help both Roxas and especially Gyun into the cart. Once they were all safely in the cart and they started moving back to the ranch, she'd take the time to look over the Moomba's injuries. Then, with a small sigh, she'd use a Curaga to fully alleviate him of all the wounds. "Sorry about earlier."
To say that she had overdone it would be putting it lightly. So this was the least she could do to make up for it. With that done and out of the way, the only thing left to do was just check the eggs and wait until they were back in relative safety. Fortunately, that didn't take too long, although it was already turning dark... They must have been at it for longer than she thought.
In any case, the eggs were taken back to the Incubators by far more experienced hands, and they were offered a place to stay and rest the weariness off after an exciting battle-filled chase.
He also mentioned something about worse things coming out at night... Vaneera could guess as to what that was. Heartless. Of course, she wasn't the most familiar with this world, so he could well have been referring to something else.
In either case, she'd make her way inside the trailer.
"Well... There anything else we need to do, or should we just get some rest?"
She'd query of the other two. If they all decided to get some rest though, she'd find her own little space and a bed and make the best of resting in an entirely different world from the one she was used to.------- Gyun Roxas Actions: 1 - Curaga @ Gyun Cooldowns: Curaga (0/3) Notes: Consider this an [END] Post on my part, unless you two wish to continue for a bit.
