"No wonder.." Ibu said, grimacing as they walked past a rotting corpse.

"I'm gonna stop breathing so deep. I can't take the smell." She stopped breathing for a moment, then started breathing shallowly.

Basil stayed close to Corasi, she being the only one beside Hexic that Basil trusted thus far. What on earth happened here? she thought. She was getting a bit dizzy from the thinner air, but she would hold out. "What's the goal? what are we trying to accomplish here?" She asked as she felt for her bag. In a moment she realized she dropped her bag. Just great.

Saras was thankful he finally had a use for his mask.

"The goal is to steal Iris's genetic plans for the super soldiers. Oh my...." Ibu gasped, looking at a massive black dragon, chained up in a cage. She had many cuts., "What happened to you? Who would hurt such a beautiful creature?!"

"It is pretty sad, but let's think about a slightly more important question here; what are it's uses?"

"Someone's taken some of her blood. They must be using her for a bio-weapon." Ibu frowned.

"Not exactly sure what that means, but I know it's not good. We can't let anyone else take more of her blood. So what do we do?"

"Poor thing!" She examined the lock on the cage. "Anyone know how to lockpick?"

"We need to free her. But that would pop the airship. We've got to do it later. We'll come back for her." Ibu said.

(the dragon is so big it would pop the airship)
