Our Action Brothers
Hot lava pool

"fr.. How about we take a little nap?"

Kuma again complained, because now they went down hundreds of stairs that are only made of rocks that are not even neatly arranged.

"You'll sleep if we're in a safer place."

Arnius continued to step forward. The man flicked his thumb, until a small flame appeared on his fingertip. This place in front of them the longer, the less light.

"If what you're looking for is a firestone hell. Shouldn't the stone be smoldering in a blanket of fire. But why is this place getting darker."

Kin Raiden who was in the last row commented.

Zora threw a not so big stone at Arnius, the man caught it well. Arnius was about to ask the young sensei about the usefulness of the stone he had thrown, but he abandoned his intentions after seeing the stone in his grasp now emit light to illuminate the surroundings.

They continued to walk slowly down the hallway that there was only one. Since they started to enter the place, there was only one passageway and did not find another.

"Is this really just my feeling or are you feeling it too?"

Wu Ling who had been watching the stone walls around them began to express what he felt.

"What do you mean? I just feel like right now we're no longer walking up the mountain top, but down."

Zora told me how she felt.

"I have absolutely no control over the air around me, because this place no longer feels as hot as before."

Wu Ling said again.

"Right, this place was completely different from the air outside. And it seems that at this time we no longer walk up, but down. Although this place is flat without any stairs, but we're down."

Eiji also confirmed Wu Ling and Zora. Kin Raiden who had been silent since then and occasionally closed his eyes began to give a response.

"We're on the other side of the mountain now."

All of his comrades were a little surprised when they heard the red Phoenix's words. They even stopped stepping, but now they are walking as usual after.

The light from the stone Arnius was holding began to dim, as the passage before them was no longer as dark as before. The stone walls that were not far from their presence were seen with large holes so that the place around them was exposed to sunlight.

"Be careful, there could be guards in that place."

Zora who was walking in the middle whispered slowly, she did not want anything that could hurt her comrade. Eiji began to put up a protective seal, Wu Ling who was walking behind with Kin Raiden started to prepare the seal.

With great care, Arnius began to pass through a large hollow stone wall to resemble a door. After looking around, the man saw nothing but the green grassy streets he was now treading.

Arnius continued to step on his feet until he arrived at a beautiful garden. The gurgling sound of river water is clearly heard in the ears, some trees that bear fruit and flowers that bloom increasingly add to the beauty of the place.

Kuma who saw all that, could no longer hold his hungry stomach. The big bear was currently on a tree branch, its mouth as if it would not stop chewing all the fresh fruits.

Chio and Shiro also picked some fruit. Wu Ling and Zora did as well, yet they preferred to store it into the space ring they had.

"Don't forget to save a few, remember when you feel hunger and thirst."

Zora reminded me a little. Kuma rushed to gather all the fruits he saw after hearing the young sensei's words. Chio starts asking Yuki to make all the trees drop the fruit. Shiro was asked to replenish their empty water.

Arnius continued to walk down every corner of the place but there was nothing strange in his eyes. He again stepped closer to the rock that was right in the middle of the park.

"Are you guys done?"

Arnius saw all his comrades. Without any cue, all of them immediately finished their activities and rushed over to their commander.

"I'll try to shift this rock. Whatever happens, you don't get separated."

Arnius spoke again. All his comrades walked closer, even Kuma did not hesitate to tightly hug Eiji's arm. Kin Raiden asked the others to stand behind him, so that he could keep everything safe and also help Arnius.

The sound of the shifting rock rattling sounded so clear as Arnius and Kin Raiden began to shift the location of the huge rock. The ground they were poking felt a little trembling. All the Classic Team members who were in that place spontaneously joined hands, after hearing and feeling the unusual.

The tension lasted for a moment, before it all stopped. Both eyes of Arnius staring at the ground that was right under the big rock suddenly collapsed, until it saw a hole large enough.

"It's like the other cave, this big rock covers the other entrance. There are some stones that we can use for footing. I'll go in first."

Kin Raiden began to prepare to go down the place with a stand on a rock that looks solid according to him. One by one they went down following Kin Raiden's steps.

At first the air in the place was still cool. Over time the sweat on their bodies dripped back, the air in that place felt increasingly hot. The place was not as dark as the passageway they had passed before.

"I'm really gonna melt."

Kuma was sitting limp, right now in front of them was a huge hole filled with boiling red lava. A few small explosions were always visible on it.

"Bear sister, we can soak in warm water here."

Chio smiled slightly.

"Hidden head... Are you ready to be an iguana soup?"

Kuma patted Chio's butt standing next to him.

"May. but you also have to taste the gravy."

"Basic little delinquent."

They all paused for a moment to pay attention to the entire place.

"Look over there. There are two stones that are quite large."

Kin Raiden pointed right at the center of the hot lava pool.

"Yes right, there's something there."

Wu Ling narrowed his eyes.

"Bears brother, let's help the commander to retrieve the thing. Don't you like swimming, let's hurry."

Chio again teases Kuma who is still sitting on the floor.

"I'm really going to twist your ears, you son of a bitch."

Kuma's getting pissed.
