OOC: I apologize for my AWOLness!

IC:

"Please do, Lady Kyrian." The elder dragoness half-bowed at Vook respectfully.

"Stop it, that is enough." F'Nerah said, her tone blunt and naturally commanding. "We've enough problems as it is without blaming anyone you're not familiar with. These people are my guests, so I will gladly take responsibility for anything they may do, or may have done. Finding and retrieving the Aeon Dragon safe and sound is top priority. Catching the culprit comes second." She said, and turned to face Julian. "Alright, tell me, did you find anyone exiting the cloister during the commotion?" She asked, touching down in front of the two new dragons, trying not to look worried or too concerned, though it showed in her impatiently flicking tail.

[DragonMasterX]

"Aww, c'mon Cyan-chan!" Lizzy hugged Cyan, pulling her off ground with superior strength, "We can worry about curves later! We need to help!" she said, releasing the blue dragoness.

"Negative, ma'am." Julian responded to F'Nerah, "We kept an eye out for everybody who went in and out of this dome. Nobody ever exited, however."

"Wait," Mar intercepted, "What if our culprit entered with us, then? Couldn't that mean that the Uzumaki dude was taken outside by 'em?" He proposed, "You don't think th," but before the large dragon could finish talking, the sound of a loud explosion outside rattling the whole place. "Whoa! What's going on?!" he almost lost his balance.

[Shadowknight]

"Fine, let's just get this done with so we can at least enjoy the rest of the festivities." Cyan smiled a bit, quickly fading from the large explosion, "Oh what now?"

"Sounds like something big's going on. Come on, we might find out who took Hewhomakestea!" Shadow shouted.

"Uzumaki you dork," Katt rubbed her head a bit, "I should've stayed home, can't be half as bad as this."

[DragonMasterX]

Mar agreed with Shadow's idea and without saying anymore made his way outside, where he was greeted by another loud blast. "What the heck? Sounds like they're using explosives..." He said, twitching his ears to try to make the sounds out. The dragon quickly looked left and right, noticing smoke coming from a nearby batch of trees inside the dense forest, "Hey, what's going on?!" He growled to himself, hurrying over to the smoking place as he started to hear voices.

"Not here, you numbskull!"

"I know what I'm doing, it IS here!"

"No! It's not! Stop randomly blasting things!"

"But it's my job to blast things!"

"We can't draw attentions to ourselves. So just,"

Before the argument could ensue any further, a large shadow loomed over the two creatures on the ground and Mar's claws shot down to grab them "Who are you guys?" The large dragon asked, holding the short scalies in his paws.

"GAH! A MONSTER! GET THE LASER READY!" an aqua-marine colored dragon with green eyes said as he panicked and threw his arms around.

"Whoa, calm down, you," Mar said as he struggled to keep a firm grip on the squirming creature.

"Guuuh! Let us go, you musclehead!" the pink scaled small dragoness told Mar, who fumed in response. "Oh, tee-hee... We wouldn't like to anger the good sir, would we, brother Lino?" she suddenly giggled. Seeing her sibling still squirming and trying to get off Mar's strong grip, a vein popped in front of her forehead and she spun around, delivering a tail smack to Lino's head.

"Hey, what's the big idea, Lina?!" Lino groaned, closing an eye as he then realized Mar was staring at them in curiosity, "Oh... yeah! Y'see, we don't want to make you lose your time. So we'll be going! Let us go now,"

"Pleaaaaase?" Both small dragons said with a pitch-high tone, almost in unison. Mar blinked in surprise, apparently dumbfounded and not yet having noticed the equipment to set explosives behind the two.

OOC: Sorry for taking this long, guys. But I figured if we keep spinning-off we'll eventually get to the interesting plot in a better way X3

[Erethzium]

"Alrighty then..." Vook exhaled softly, and sat down cross-legged, placing her claws together and starting to mutter a spell, closing her eyes as she focused. Hope I can at least get this up fast enough...

[Shadowknight]

"Well they seem trustworthy enough, I say we let them go." Shadow smiled.

Katt knelt down near the explosive equipment, "Not up to anything huh, so these explosives and the explosions are just a coincidence then?" she asked, glancing over at the two small lizards.

[Frisk E. Coyote]

"We're counting on you, Lady Kyrian!" F'Nerah nodded, heading outside with the rest.

"Oooh..." Lacia cooed as she bent over to check out the explosives. "Do these things count as weapons or is it some kind of buffed-up dragon firework?" She asked curiously.

"I'm pretty sure those are bombs, Lace." Nero murmured dully, glancing at Lacia from the corners of his eyes.

The elder dragoness appeared from behind Mar, standing by his side, her eyes becoming what seemed to be wisps of fire. "What. Do you. Think. You're doing?" She asked the two dragons dangerously. She was worried about Uzumaki more than anything. She had just branded him, damnit!

[DragonMasterX]

"AHH! It's Lady F'Nerah!" The duo of small dragons shook and in a strong effort to hug each other, Lino and Lina broke off from Mar's grasp. "Don't hurt us, pretty please!" They both said in unison.

"So, they are the ones responsible for the explosions," Mar scratched his head as he pitifully stared at the two siblings, then exchanged looks with F'Nerah as she stared daggers at the twins. He stepped back, "Mental Note: Stay on her good side."

Lina tried "No! Of course not, we..."

But Lino promptly interrupted him, "...were just flattening the ground! Yeah!" The small, blueish green dragon smiled slightly.

"Are they even thinking what they say?" came Julian's voice from Mar's side as he and Lizzy caught up with them, "I know these two. Grr, thought those kind of blasts were sounding very familiar. They are..."

"KAWAII!!" Lizzy hurried from the group, skidding past everyone to crash onto the two little siblings, lifting them up and hugging them strongly, holding them tightly to her voluptous chest, "They are so cute! They. Are. So. Cute! Tee-hee-hee!" Lizzy giggled, bouncing up and down, not really realizing she was choking the two against her cleavage, "Like kawaii little babiiies!"

"GAH! Get this boob-wall off me!" Lina cried for help as she momentarily was able to retract her face from Lizzy's chest.

"Can't. Breathe. Don't. Care." Lino grumbled.

"Elizabeth..." Julian softly sighed, resting a hand on the side of his forehead as he mumbled something under his breath. He then turned to F'Nerah to explain, "These two are on the Elders' wanted list. They are thieves..."

"Waiiiit! No!" Lina managed to say, although she couldn't break free from Lizzy's super grip, "We can explain!"

"...and I'd wager they were trying to look for the adamantite minerals that form over the centuries in this island," Julian continued, "We should aprehend them now, Elizabeth, let's take them away and lock them up."

"Oh, haiiii!" Lizzy giggled, following Julian with both kids around her arms. Lina continued shouting.

"Wait! No! It's not what it looks like!" The pink dragoness growled, trying to get anybody else's attention, as she was sure Julian nor Lizzy would pay attention to them.

[Shadowknight]

"Ask them if they know where whotookmykey is." Shadow suggested.

"Uzu, oh why bother," Katt sighed, "Lizzy, you might wanna let up, I think they're starting to turn blue, well, bluer for that one." she said, pointing towards the aqua colored dragon, "Julian, I don't know how your laws work here, but shouldn't we at least hear what they have to say in their defense before assuming their guilty?"

[DragonMasterX]

"I'd be glad to, but I doubt we'll get anything coherent from these two," Julian began explaining, "They just steal valuables from everywhere. I've been on to them for quite a while."

"Oooh, that's right! Jully's like an undercover police officer!" Lizzy giggled just after having released some of her grip off the twins, who were now gasping for dear boob-free air, "Tee-hee! America's so cool!"

"Aren't we on Kansas?" Mar raised an eyebrow, Lizzy exchanged looks with him and both blinked in confusion.

Lina continued, "Y-yes! Please, listen to us!" She tried, putting on her best pleading face, "We were just looking for something, that's all! But we aren't here to steal anything!"

"That's right, that's right! And we woulda taken it if it weren't for the spinach-rich bozo over there!" Lino said while pointing over to Mar.

Mar fumed at the ill words, grunting as he stepped towards Lizzy, "Hey! Say that again pipsqueak!" he snarled at Lino, who took hiding around Lizzy and stuck his tongue out at him childishly. "Grrr. They are guilty!" he yelled angrily.

"...I'm just following my orders," Julian finished with Katt, "If Lady F'Nerah would like to question them, however..." the tall dragon then looked over to Nera, awaiting for her input.
