"Hey, beasty!"
Grim's voice echoed through the tunnel, tail wagging in the air in both fear and determination. The cat could hear another growl from the deeper part which made him shivered. But he couldn't stop, the others are counting on him.
"O-o-o-over here!" he called out again. "Have a delicious cat as a snack~!"
"GrRrRrR...LeAaAaAaAaAaAvVeE!"
The monster appeared from the shadow, groaning and growling as it started to fly toward him. All of Grim's fur shot up. "Gah! It's coming!" he shouted, quickly turning around and flew to the entrance. The monster kept advancing toward him, smacking everything in its way, right claw tried to grab Grim who kept avoiding it.
"gRrR!? ThErE...ThIeF...tOo. WoN'T GiVe...mInE...mInE! gO AwAy! Go aWaY!"
Grim shot out through the tunnel. "We're out!" he shouted.
Jonah who stood in front of the entrance nodded quickly at him. "On your position." Grim quickly flew to the right, across from him Ace prepared his magical pen, magic circle already appeared under him. Grim also raised his paws, summoning his magic circle.
Jonah raised his hand slowly, glaring at the entrance, counting down in his head. When the monster came out, screaming in his face, he jumped back. "Ace, Grim, combo attack!"
"Ok, I got this!" He pointed his magical pen toward the monster. "Let's go, [EXTRA LARGE TEMPEST!]" A cycle of cyclone shot out from his magical pen, trapping the monster in his tornado. The monster screamed but was unable to escape from the trapping wind.
"And the Great Grim's [FIRE SPECIAL!] Ffgnnnaaaaa!" Grim spit out his fire, burning the monster, changing the ordinary tornado into a cyclone of an inferno.
"gUaAaAhH!?"
Jonah landed not far, kneeling to the ground. He looked up to Deuce who was standing on top of the cave. "Deuce, launch the cannon!"
Deuce nodded at him. He held his magical pen in both hands, the magic circle appeared in front of him and bellow his feet. His eyes slipped close. "Calm down...aim..." he whispered to himself. "The biggest, heaviest... thing I know..." He snapped his eyes opened and screamed, "[COME FORTH! CAULDRON!]"
A cauldron shot out from the magic circle, hitting the monster square on the back, sending it flying away, crashing to the bridge, destroying it, and fell to the river.
"gUaAa!?"
"Hah!" Grim laughed as the gang gathered again, "I bet it's flat as a pancake just like Ace!"
Ace groaned. "You don't need to bring that up again! Jeez, today just isn't my day."
"Guys, let's get the crystal while it's stunned!" Jonah yelled. The others nodded and immediately ran into the mine again.
In the river, the monster got up, floating, its sight set on the running children.
"WaAaAaAiItTt!"
-----
The gang ran deep into the mine, eyes darting in every corner, looking for anything sparkling. Deuce was the first one to notice. "There! A magic crystal!" he shouted, pointing at one sparkle on the wall. All of them made a mad dash toward him. Jonah, picked up the closest thing he could grab, a rusted chisel, and started to pick the stone from the wall.
