[ghostlighter]

[The Griever suddenly appears on the Plane - but he's not alone. Pinning him to the invisible floor is a humongous, see-through purple and blue dragon (with a golden amulet tied around its neck). Its voice is loud and booming.]

NO HURT.

I-I get it! You can- get off now! [The Griever struggles under the heavy claws for a moment, while the dragon

[--wtf? Is that a dragon? Give Ianto a moment for his brain to start functioning properly again.]

[fireintothesky]

[GLARING AT HIM.] NO HURT. [And she blasts green flames his way.]

[ghostlighter]

What- [His gaze shoots to Ianto, and he quickly maneuvers himself out from underneath the dragon, just barely managing to place himself in front and power up a shield large enough to deflect the blast. He gets pushed back but eventually the flames die down.]

Getting out of here might be a really good idea right now.

[damnfinecoffee]

[Ianto pulls out his gun, aiming it at the dragon.] Don't need to. If it attacks again, I can just use this.

[fireintothesky]

[And she throws herself into the air, blasting toward them at high speed across the plane.]

[ghostlighter]

No! It's not what you- [He suddenly grabs Ianto around the waist and pulls them out of the dragon's warpath. He hasn't touched the ground since escaping from its clutches, either.]

It's not what you think.

[damnfinecoffee]

[Ianto shouts in surprise as he's lifted, but decides to hold off complaining until there isn't a dragon chasing them.] Right. So it isn't trying to kill you?

[fireintothesky]

[She banks and slams to the ground, still howling.] NO HURT.

[And she lunges with a fresh batch of fire and talons outstretched.]

[ghostlighter]

No! I mean... okay, she probably is. But you can't just- [Ohshi- Sorry, Ianto, he'll be dropping you now. Be thankful he wasn't very high up. Whirling around, he launches himself over the dragon and grabs at her horns, pulling it back and hopefully redirecting it away from Ianto.]

[damnfinecoffee]

[Ianto winces as he lands, suddenly very relieved he left the safety for his gun on. He sits up, aiming his gun again, but hesitating since he knows his aim probably isn't good enough to trust he'll miss Chris.]

[fireintothesky]

[At the pull on her horns she rears back, shaking her head in an attempt to dislodge Chris--and leaving her stomach open for an attack.]

[ghostlighter]

[The Griever gives an extra-hard tug backward and then uses the momentum of her tossing to throw himself back - from there, he grabs onto the amulet and tries to dislodge it.]

[damnfinecoffee]

[Ianto takes the opportunity to fire off a few rounds, making sure to shoot as far away from Chris as he can without missing the dragon.]

[fireintothesky]

[She swats at Chris, which ironically sends the amulet flying along with him; the reaction is instant. A moment later, Henrietta staggers to her hands and knees on the plane.]

Uh... eh? Wh--how did we get here?

[ghostlighter]

[He goes flying, not under his own power, and crashes into the ground, rolling and tumbling until he slides to a stop. The amulet skids across the ground next to him, and he grabs it before it can leave his sight. A moment or two to get his bearings, and he's standing up shakily.]

... Long story. [A glare to Ianto.] I told you not to shoot!

[damnfinecoffee]

[Ianto stares at Henrietta in horror, turning when Chris speaks, his expression becoming defensive.] You could've told me it was her.
