Mash watches Sull, then gives his input on the matter.
MASH: "That thing came from the top of Devil's Claw...It must've come down for SOME reason or another...."
RED: "So then maybe we can avoid further conflict by giving it what it wants? Right?"
MASH: "How th' hell should I know?!"
As the two squabble yet again, the dragon's scales begin to glow blue.
MASH: "Hn?! EVeryone! Look out!"
Mash raises his barrier.
RED: "WHAT?! There's nothing I can do about that!"
MASH: "Well you'd better learn something quick!"
Red grounds himself against a rock and raises his mirror shield.
The Higher Dragon casts "Cascade", a high powered Water magick. A tidal wave forms behind the Higher Dragon, then sweeps towards the group of warriors.

Sarada had been so stuck in her own thoughts, she didn't realize one of her kin were here. She watched as the humans and demons attacked it, only making it angry. She calmly walked infront of the group, her red scales taking on a shade of blue on the edges. She bloated her cheeks, and as the Cascade came screaming towards them, she let out a stream of strong water, slicing through the Cascade. *Spell: Water Breath*
The dragon met the eyes of his kin, and his attack faded to a trickle. The water ran to the sides of the corridor, leaving them foot deep in water.
Sarada: *Speaks in Kin to the Dragon.*
Dragon: *Responds in kind, bowing it's head in submission.*
Sarada turns to the others. "Foolish... You attack before you let him explain. You take no time to understand those you travel with." She shifted into her Half-dragon form, going to her back legs. Her wings folded to her shoulders, and her tail wavered, sending ripples in the water.

Mash scoffs.
MASH: "So then. Do you mind telling us what that thing wanted? And I don't remember attacking anything. So don't put the blame on ME."
All eyes turn to Goku.
RED: ".....ok. That was my mistake.... I should've waited first....I guess."
MASH: "Yes, you very well should have. Now then, what does that damned thing want?"

Goku pokes his head out from behind the rock he had taken cover behind. Only to be pushed back down by the weight of the eyes. He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
GOKU: "Well, it's not like I speak dragon. It was a mistake, everyone makes mistakes!!"
He sat on the rock he had taken refuge behind, and looked over at the others; mainly Sarada and the Dragon, waiting for her response to Mash's question.

Sull moved backwards and upwards when the water attack came, evading it entirely. Sull stares at Goku now in an annoyed, somewhat angry manner. Sull: "Hitting usually solves your problems, doesn't it?" He moves around impatiently in his windshape, taking a closer look around.

Sarada ignored the warriors, and focused her attention on the dragon. It was water-elemented, and older than her. She listened as it spoke, retelling what brought it to this place. She showed no signs of anoyance when it said that it could not leave her. It might be good to have another one of the Kin present in this. The main thing it was concerned about was getting hit on the head again.
She turned back to the others, nodding. "He came looking for me, for he sensed another one of the Kin here."
The dragon, whose scales were a watered-out blue, shifted into the form of a male human, dressed in a white-blue wrap-around and with a bald head. He was barefoot and muscular. He glanced to Sarada and muttered something in Human-Kin. She only nodded. "He wishes for you to know that his name is Drael, and he will be a guide through this place."

Mash becomes as annoyed as Sull over this.
MASH: "Pft! How stupid! That ignorant fool! To hell with him! I'm going after that sword, with or without you all!"
Mash shoves past the human-form of Drael, which magically occured because he didn't have that ability, out of the way. Red follows behind shortly.
RED: "Well, I doubt it's far from here now..."
MASH: "Oh? And you're some sort of expert on the White Tomb?"
RED: "It's called 'common sense'. Which I can understand you not being able to comprehend such a concept since you lack just that."
MASH: "Ergh! I'm through talking to you!"
Mash and Red continue down the hall.

Goku merely shrugs, answering in his usual care-free self; glancing over at Sull.
GOKU: "Well... yeah, it usually works. Usually, anyway."
The youngster arched a brow at Drael as it shifted into a human form by some miracle. Then hopped down from his sitting place, and quickly ran off after Red, tugging on his sleeve. Asking in a very curious tone, much like that of a small child's.
GOKU: "Hey, Red-sama? Do ALL dragons have human forms?"

Red shakes his head.
RED: "I didn't THINK so.... but who am I but a demon hunter. Dragon's 'n stuff ain't my specialty."
Mash speaks to Goku without looking behind him.
MASH: "No. Not all humans can walk. Not all demons can fly. So it only makes sense that not all dragons can change into human forms. One does not possess the same abilities as all. That is what makes us all unique."
They enter the next room, and a series of braziers ignite. A form stands in the center with a large axe in tow.
MASH: "...wha-? Who are you!"
MARGO: "Aye! If it ain't ol' Mash! How do ye, pal?"
MASH: "....Margo?!"
MARGO: "Aye it is! It is ol' Mash! How ye doing ye ol' dog ye!"
MASH: "Margo! You're in my way! Now move!"
MARGO: "Ah... sorry, pal. No can do. Here on orders and all. Ye understand, aye?"
RED: "...orders?"
MARGO: "Aye. Sorry folks, but ye'll nay be passing by me."
MASH: "Enough fooling around, Margo.... get out of the way!"
MARGO: "I'd like to, but I can't. Sadly I must kill ye all. It pains me to say it, Mash, but I have to make sure ye don't pass."
MASH: "Is that so...."
MARGO: "Aye."
Margo chunks his axe blade into the ground and stretches. He pops his neck, then his knuckles. His grip returns to the handle of his axe, Sage, and he rests it on his shoulder.
MARGO: "Aye! So how will it be? One at a time, or all at once?"
The unusually cheerful, yet seemingly regretful, demon is prepared for combat.

Goku nods, before looking over at Mash, listening to his take on the dragon transformation. The youngster nods once more, thinking about what Mash had said, before they entered the next room. Mash's voice broke his thoughts, as he peered over at Margo. He quietly listens to their conversation, taking note that Mash seemed to know him. Like any kid would, he was amused by the way Margo spoke.
Margo really didn't seem like he wanted to fight them, and Goku really didn't want to fight him either because of it. Whatever the case, Margo's cheerful appearance and the fact that he seemed regretful to have to fight them; would affect the battle for Goku. He looked over at DeLuce, tugging on his sleeve a bit.
GOKU: "We don't have to fight him do we, Red-sama?"

Red looks down to his comrade.
RED: "It seems so..."
Red pulls away from Goku's grip and draws his sword and shield.
MARGO: "Aye. I'll do well by ye and end it quick."
RED: "We'll see."
Red approaches cautiously, and Margo follows Red with his eyes.
MARGO: "Ye seem nervous! Do ye need to warm up a bit first? Take yer time."
RED: "I ain't nervous! I ain't afraid to fight you!"
MARGO: "Oh? Then yer a brave one ye are. T'would be best to hurry though. The others are waiting their turns."
Red leaps at Margo and swings horizontally hoping to slash Margo's stomach, but Margo deflects the blow easily with the handle of Sage. He returns with an over-head cut which is avoided easily with Red leaping to the side. Red smashes his shield into Margo's side, and attempts a vertical slash. Margo rolls to the right, and upon landing on his feet he uses "Burning Landscape". Fire bursts from the ground in the path that his axe was swung. The flames shoot forward, and Red barely avoids being barbequed.
MARGO: "Hah hah! Yer a fast one!"
Red charges in to tackle his foe, but upon impact it felt to him like a pebble being thrown into a brick wall, and probably about as effective.
RED: ".......ow....."
MARGO: "Not very wise. Yer gonna have to smarten up a bit, aye?"
RED: "Ergh!"
Red charges in again, this time instead of tackling he stops short, kicks off of Margo and after performing a short backflip he attempts to cleave Margo's skull in two. The attack is halted by the massive blade of Sage.
MARGO: "Not bad! But ye look tired just a bit. Who's up next?"
Margo ignores Red and turns his attention to the others.
MARGO: "Whenever yer ready..."

Goku was ready to spring in after Red, whether to stop him or to help, he didn't really know. But whatever the case, his mind was anywhere but on the Crissaegrim. He didn't know if he should jump in to help Red, or hang back and let him deal with it so that he wouldn't have to get involved.
GOKU: "Why can't you just let us pass...?"
His grip on the Nyoibo loosened somewhat. Goku really didn't want to fight, and didn't see why they had to fight at all. To him, this wasn't fair. Not at all. But he was a care-free child, naiive, and blind to the cruel world.

Margo merely smiles at the question.
MARGO: "I'm under orders, boy. And as such, I gotta follow 'em. My loyalties bind me. Don't ye worry. It'll be over soon and ye can all be happy in Nirvana! Sounds good, aye?"
Margo taps the butt of the handle of Sage against the hard floor.
MARGO: "Lets speed 'er up a bit, shall we?"

Goku had realized that what Margo was doing, was similar to when he does as Red tells him. He knew that he would listen to Red, and do as he requested. It was such a connection that put the situation in a new light. A simple shift of perspective made it alright. A mind of a child. Then his mind shifted to the Crissaegrim. Red needed to get to it, and Margo was in the way. It was as simple as that.
GOKU: "Hm, none of us are going to Nirvana anytime soon. But you'll be takin' a dirt-nap!"
Goku gripped his Nyoibo once more, flipping it over his shoulder. Without warning, he threw a total of ten energy orbs at Margo; rushing in directly behind them, leaping up with an overhead strike aimed to come down at the top of Margo's skull.

Margo raised his massive arms in defense, deflecting the orbs, but the Nyoibo caught him square. Margo stumbled back a foot or two, rubbing the top of his head.
MARGO: "Aye! For a little one ye've got some muscle! It's so sad I must slay ye and end yer career. T'is a waste, aye."
Margo swings his massive axe and waves of flame burst from the end headed straight for Goku.
