Battle for the camp- 4
(POV Lyra)
<Shit hang on!> I shouted as I opened a panel in Cyrus's stomach.
I then poured the liquids of various potions ranging from health to strength to mana into his stomach.
<Cyrus close your mouth!> I order him as I open a panel above the water and another two inside his body. One to expel the water and the other to supply him with air.

(POV Cyrus)
(WHAT THE-) I internally screamed feeling various liquids dumped into my stomach and the water being replaced with air as I closed my mouth under her instructions.
<I'm removing the water from your body and supplying air to lungs so…STOP SQUIRMING AND GET BACK INTO THE BATTLE! SWIM BOI SWIM!> Lyra shouted.
I quickly calmed down as the laws of physics took their courses and I floated back to the surface.
(Wait… THE SWORD!) I then started moving erratically trying to swim down and retrieve it.
<The hell are you trying to do your missing the ass beating of year up there!> Lyra shouted at me confused.
I then try motioning a sword slash before I point downwards hoping for Lyra to understand.
<Oh the sword! Just keep swimming I'll get it!> She said as a panel slid out of where the tattoo was and launched itself to the bottom of the lake.

While all of that was happening…

(POV Darius)
"Shit! Cyrus!" I looked at the scene of Cyrus being launched into the water with horror.
^KYYYUUUUUU^
^DDDUUUUUDDDEEEEEE^
<Don't worry he's fine just attack!> Lyra calmed us down.
<Oi Duck!> Nexus shouted.
I ducked down as a reddish yellow blob flew above me.
'I'm done watching all of you losing! All of you stay out of my way and attack the other ones I'll kill the black one myself!' The beast snarled at me with a red liquid oozing out its jaw.
{Referring to the color of the armor, not race!}
"I don't know what you said but if you're looking for a fight worse scenario I win with your scaly ass handed to your army on a silver platter!" I taunt the beast as all of Girros retreated away from me and towards Cyrus's tames.
I then placed my spear in the inventory before I flicked my arms extending a sharp blade out of my gauntlets.
I flipped the beast off with both my hands as the blades lit on fire with a grin on my face.
"Well! What are you waiting for-!" I dodged to my left as it hurled a boulder at me.
I sprinted towards the charging beast with a blazing aura surrounding me as the giant rock flew past me.
<Skill 'Flame boost-8' activated>
I stopped abruptly and slashed my arm blade at the army releasing a fiery arc at them.
<Skill 'Blazing arc-6' activated>
*GGRRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHH*
The emperor Girros roared as it shielded its underlings from the hot inferno.
I grinned as I slashed the air repeatedly with each swing the great and emperor Girros struggled to protect the foot soldiers of the group.
Using the smog and their confusion to my advantage to conceal I then sprinted once more.
"Activate night vision…" I mutter as I halt my sprint and enter a defensive position t inside the cloud of smoke and smog.
Then with my vision regained I started killing unsuspecting Girros normal and great alike as the emperor stayed unaware of his diminishing army.

(POV Noir)
^KYYYUUUUUU^
"Shit! Cyrus!"
^DDDUUUUUDDDEEEEEE^
All of us collectively shouted as master started to sink to the bottom of the lake.
I stood still in a dilemma unsure of what to do (I must help master… but who will protect the eggs if I'm gone! I can't sacrifice the lives of the unborn but if I don't go master will die!).
But before I had to make a choice the voice told us that he was fine.
'*Sigh* Good I don't have to leave the eggs…' I sighed in relief as I watched the battle.
(I'm useless here, all of them are being taken care of by the others… I should be happy cause the eggs will be safe… But it's so boring and unfair! I want in on the action too!) I saw masters friend throw away his stick… staff…. whatever.
(Is master's friend that dumb if he doesn't have a weapon then he'll be weaker-) I saw blades of fire extend out of his hand in a flick of his wrist.
(That's so cool! I wonder if I can do it too?) I put my weapons down and mimicked the same gesture.
'Heh… Am I doing it wrong? Is it broken?' I continued the same movement over and over until I heard a loud rumble.
I look up and see a large rock thrown my way.
'AAAHHH' I screamed as I erected a large pink dome over the camp.
<Noir used 'Protect-2'>
Just as soon as I put up the barrier the boulder crashed into it cracking the barrier and making half of the way through it before it got stuck.
I struggled to keep the large barrier in place, feeling my energy fading away by the second I called out for help.
'DWAYNE HELP ME!' I shouted desperately as I could not move while using this skill.

(POV Dwayne)
'DWAYNE HELP ME!' Noir's desperate shout reverberated in my ears.
'Noir?' I look away from the battlefield and see a clear pink dome surrounding the camp fading in and out of existence with a large rock wedged into it.
'I'M COMING GIVE ME SECOND! THERE BIG LIZARD FIGHTING ME!' I shout back as I parry a whip from the creature's tail.
'BIG LIZARD PLEASE GIVE ME A SECOND OUTSIDE THIS BATTLE TO HELP MY ALLY AND EGGS FROM GETTING SQUISHED FROM BIG ROCK!' I say with my hands together.
'YOU KNOCKED OUT MY FRIEND I'M NOT GOING TO-' A normal Girros jumped into the air and swiped its claw on the great Girros's face.
'BOI HE SAID HE NEEDS TO STOP HIS EGGS FROM GETTING DESTROYED LET HIM GO! IDIOT IT'S A GOOD CHANCE FOR US TO RECOVER!' The Girros comedically berated him.
'But mom-' He was about to retort.
'NO BUTS YOUNG MAN HE SHOWED US NOTHING BUT MERCY BY ONLY KNOCKING US OUT AND NOT KILLING EVEN THOUGH HE HAS THE CAPACITY TO ABSOLUTELY DEMOLISH US! JUST BECAUSE YOU BECAME A GREAT GIRROS AND HAVE A FAMILY OF YOUR OWN NOW DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD FORGET MY TEACHINGS! NOW RETURN KINDNESS WITH EQUAL KINDNESS OR I WILL TELL YOUR KIDS ABOUT THIS!' The Girros that I now know as the mother of the lizard I was fighting jumped up once more and smacked her son on the head.
'HE- I-UGH… fine go protect your eggs!' He said with his entire body slumped down in defeat.
'Thank you miss, No hard feelings about me fighting your family?' I thanked her with a bow which was mostly just me with my arms straight and my head which is my entire body facing down.
'Oh please thank you for not killing us when you had the chance now run along and save your eggs!' She kindly replied.
'THANK YOU ONCE MORE!' I shouted before I floated and started zooming towards the camp.
'I AM COMING NOIR!' I shouted as I punched a Girros that launched itself at me with open jaws.
'WELL COME FASTER IDIOT!' He shouted as a few lizards started attacking the barrier.

(POV Cyrus)
"Finally!" I shouted as I made it to the surface of the lake.
"You got the sword?" I ask Lyra as I observe the battle.
(When did everything thing get so… Smokey?) I looked at the black and grey clouds of smoke surrounding the battlefield with confusion.
<Yep! Got it and I even discovered an underwater- WATCH OUT!> She shouted abruptly.
I look up and see a boulder coming straight at me "Well shit-" I say as it crashed right on top of me.
<- 20HP>
(Why do I feel like one of the duo is behind this bullshit?) I thought with a dead expression as I was stuck under the rock as it sank.
(To whoever threw this glorified pebble at me-) I paused as I pointed my middle finger toward the shoreline.
(FUCK YOU!) I mentally cursed them as I started swimming away from the boulder.

(POV Unknown)
*RRRAAAAAAHHHHHCCCCHHHHHOOOOOOOO!* The emperor Girros sneezed with a confused expression and pained expression as its acidic and poisonous saliva went through its nose.
*HIIYAAHCHOOO* Darius dramatically sneezed as stabbed a Girros. (Who talking about me?) he wondered as he sneaked away with his Jagras by his side.
*Achoo…* Noir gently sneezed as he let the barrier down.
*ah…ah…Ah…HHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!* Dwayne's sneeze echoed through the caves and beyond.
<Dwayne learned 'Boomburst-0.6'>
'MY EARS! PIPE DOWN IDIOT!' Noir shouted as Girros around Dwayne got down to the floor rolling in pain with their ear drums busted.
