Jason sat his scaled rump down and crossed his front legs. "Why?" He growled. He felt his mixure of ice and fire churning in his chest to create a lava type spray he had learned to do,but he held it down,not wanting to cause many problems.

Ironhorse stood at the mouth of the tunnel, stamping impatiently. Sparks flew from its hooves as it glowered at him. "COME," it ordered with a blast of steam from its nostrils. "FOLLOW THE TROD TO THE IRON COURT. IF YOU WILL NOT WALK, THE GREMLINS WILL CARRY YOU." It tossed its head and reared, flames shooting out its muzzle. "OR PERHAPS I WILL RUN BEHIND YOU, BREATHING FIRE..."

Jason let small flames sputter from his slender jaws. "Two can play at that game~,but~ I'll go so that no one get's themselves burnt to a crisp." He waved it off with a talon to the air,as if he felt fine. But he didn't,he was scared even tho he drowned his color shifting scales in gray and black.

An ice spear flew through the air, striking Ironhorse between the ribs, bursting into steam as the fire engulfed it. The horse screamed a high-pitched whistle and whirled, hooves sparking as they struck the ice.

Jason was shocked and whirled his head around to see the source of the spear. His frills opened wide and seeped a bit with hopeful jade green,the color gorgeous against his pure white scales.

They were at the ice cavern now. "Surrender," Ash and Puck said at the same time. They gave each other murderous glares before going farther into the cavern.
Puck smirked at the bewildered horse made of iron. "Hey, ugly!" he called. "Nice place you got here! Here's a thought, though. Next time, try a hideout a little more resistant to fire than an ice cave!"

Jason felt a bit relieved but,shifted his wings a bit. He didn't want to be saved again,he could fight too and yet he felt he didn't often do it anymore.

Ironhorse screamed and charged, scattering gremlins like birds as he bore down on Puck. Puck didn't move, and the great iron beast knocked him flat in the ice, trampling him with his steel hooves. "Oh, that looked painful," called another Puck, a little farther down. "We really need to talk about your anger management issues."

Jason almost laughed but kept it in. He stood and so wanted to charge at the iron beast. His shifting of his massive form showed it.

"The fire would eat it up," Ash muttered to himself, standing next to Jason. Ironhorse charged the second Puck, moving farther away from them, gremlins following the horse. Ash sighed."Come on, we're getting out of here."
