"Oh, if you could point me in the direction of some, Id gladly," the foreman mocked as his attention was drawn towards the other three older dragons. He charged at them and the four of them began fighting.
Spike ran over to Magma to help him up. Magma looked Spike square in the eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, hes way too strong. Spike was surprised to hear Magma, of all dragons back down from a challenge, but the look in his eye told him that he wasnt joking.
"GUYS IN THAT TUNNEL!" Garble instructed urgently.
"The one he came out of?" Mangle asked as the young dragons made their way into the shadows.
"Yeah that one," Garble yelled, "Go quickly!"
As the young dragons grouped in the tunnel Mangle spoke up, Alright, whats the plan? Some kind of ambush? A tactical retreat?
"We cant leave those guys behind!" Spike exclaimed, "we should be back there helping them, we can help take him down."
Garble put on his sincerest face and addressed the group, Guys, even all of us together are no match for the foreman, hes too strong, and too fast to out run him. So the plan is Im gonna buy you some time to escape. Head out this tunnel, it leads to the surface. Head to Mount Vouderon, where the dragon council meets, and let them know what the cause of the disappearing dragons is, theyll figure out a way to stop this.
"WHAT!!" The dragons outburst in unison. But- Mangle tried to protest but Garble came up to him and embraced him a hug, which shocked Mangle and the others speechless.
"Theres no time to argue, those three wont last very long," Garble explained to the others, "Think I can trust you to do this Spike?" he looked into Spikes eyes, as if delivering the message wasnt the only thing he was asking him to do. A shocked Spike simply nodded. Garble smiled and pushed Mangle onto the group causing them to stumble back a bit and lose their footing. "NOW RUN!" Garble yelled as he ran back to the open cavern, and with all his might, slammed his fists into the cavern wall as he reached the opening.
The crack quickly spread up onto the ceiling and rocks and boulders began to dislodge and fall, causing a cave in. The light from the cave and the image of Garble were shut out by the falling boulders.
