[SO EVERYONE. Did you know Charlotte has a best friend? Her name is vanhossen and even though she's been derping for a while, now that everything is more or less resolved and things are mostly returned to normal her and Charlotte are hitting the town. Charlotte's planning to help the girl meet all of her friends and besides that just spend the

[Assuming Charlotte took Sylvia inside the Battle Dome, they'll find Adell in the lobby, sitting on a bench, drinking a sports drink. He's worked up a sweat and it's clear he's on a break from training.]

[hazelrink]

[Charlotte, grinning at both of them, thus heads towards the stairs. So she can use the viewing room over on the second floor]

I'll be watching!

[vanhossen]

[ Sylvia follows suit and heads for the chamber as well, putting a hand on the hilt of her sword once she's inside. This is all something new to her, but she has a cool exterior to conceal the fact that she's . . . clueless as to how this goes.

She'll figure it out. ]

[vulcanblazer]

[When they're both inside, the doors shut behind them and the room, which was formerly blank, shimmers and begins to turn. And it seemingly becomes far, far more massive as well.

What was once an empty room is turned into a startlingly huge mass of ornate, eerie, and unmistakably noble looking pillars, columns, stairs, and hallways. Definitely does not look like anywhere on Earth, that's for sure.

There's a short amount of time to look around and get a feel for the place before Adell speaks.]

Get ready. They're coming!

[And with that, there's a loud roar from further up the corridor, followed by several stomping footsteps as a trio of dragons come marching toward them. Yeah, they look pissed.]

[hazelrink]

[Yeah she's intently watching this from the viewing room. With a knowing smile. They're going to bond so well, and she knows it]

[vanhossen]

[ This is a very strange place, she thinks, although her train of thought is interrupted by Adell's call and the trio of incoming dragons. She doesn't register the last bit until her sword's halfway drawn, at which point she thinks reptiles -- no, wait, he keeps insisting -- ]

Dragons? [ That's what they are, right? Be proud she didn't say what's really on her mind. ]

[1/3]

[vulcanblazer]

[As if to answer her question, the lead dragon opens up its mouth and launches a fireball toward Adell. He quickly ducks behind a pillar, causing the fireball to go past harmlessly.]

[2/3]

[vulcanblazer]

Yup. Three of 'em. Watch out for their fire breath, they can use it at point blank or at range. Just... stay away from its mouth!

[vulcanblazer]

[And with that, Adell leaps back out from behind the pillar. With the grace of a tiger, he leaps toward the lead dragon. His leap attack is followed through with an aerial sweeping kick to the dragon's face.

...Yeah, it honestly looked like he defied physics there. But he just kicked it in the face. And the dragon clearly didn't like it and was knocked silly by the blow.]

[hazelrink]

[Charlotte considers playing cheerleader up here in the viewing deck. ...Considers. Not yet though. She's just watching for now. In fact, continue without her until they're done I think]

[vanhossen]

[ . . . Adell defied physics, and with a show of immense strength to boot. That has to be more power than -- well, putting that thought aside, Sylvia manages to regain her bearings and pursue Adell in hopes of working as a team. She steers clear from the other dragons' mouths, as instructed by Adell.

She doesn't make a move yet, herself; these creatures aren't like anything she's faced, Battle Dome creation or not, so she wants to observe a little first. Don't mind her stalling for now. ]

[vulcanblazer]

[Discretion is the better part of valor, after all. Sylvia's caution is well warranted as one of the dragons tries to unleash a torrent of flame at Adell now that he's in close range. Its breath sweeps in front of it like a flamethrower.

That said, Adell seems to sense that it's coming and he leaps away, though the other dragon he damaged is caught in the blast... and is utterly unfazed by it. It can probably be guessed that it's immune to fire.

Not that it stops Adell from turning back to the original dragon he kicked and lunging at it like a rocket, fist outstretched. He decks it with all his might, punching it hard enough to make it stumble back into another of its friends.]

[vanhossen]

[ I forgot we can skip Charle.

This is all a little too much for Sylvia, because she's never had to confront a fire breathing creature. Dismantling bombs, sure. Nnot fire breathing creatures. But she knows that she has to act or be useless, and she's having none of the latter. So act she does.

With two of the dragons preoccupied with Adell, Sylvia targets the remaining dragon in order to keep it from disrupting her partner. Speed is her forte, thus she manages to dash towards it before it notices her. With the sword hilt in her grasp, she dodges the dragon's wing and delivers a swift blow to its side as she unsheathes the blade. She follows it up with two complementary slashes before jumping back. (Not too shabby for an experimental strike, right?)

She can't help but stop and think how odd it feels to hit something like that, though. It's not the same as striking human flesh, in both her mind and literal feeling. ]

[vulcanblazer]

[Those strikes were solid. She's definitely skilled, looking like she already has a good idea where to strike it where it's weak.

As for Adell, one of the dragons gets back to its feet, takes flight and lunges at Adell, attempting to use its Dragon Kung-Fu on Adell. Its talons are razor sharp and it tries to swoop like a bird of prey, turn around, and strike again.

Adell avoids both passes, and when it tries to come by for a third, Adell dodges the claws, but then grabs the monster by its ankle, plucking it right out of the air.

With a loud, shouting grunt, Adell swings the dragon around like a baseball bat into a column, turning the stone pillar to rubble.]
