"I'll come too. Even after you find the reservoir, you can't bring a whole mass of it over here without an element wielder." Zeph reasoned, now beginning to feel his dragon's rage slightly. At that, Zeph looks up to Orphion, his eyebrows slightly creasing of Orphion's loose patience and quickly climbs up onto his dragon's scaly back.
"Let's just hope that if the water's contaminated, immense heat will kill the virus..." He looked at the new arrival of a member, Saiya. Her face and name rings a bell to him, but he can't remember exactly when did they met. "Alright Saiya, lead the way." He nodded at the levitating girl, glancing a bit at her fire-lizard, then slightly pats Orphion's neck.
"Don't let your anger gets the best of you, Orphion."
"I shall try..."[/i] He growled somewhat, his eyes fixed onto Kiara the whole time. The blue dragon tries not to roar out of anger, and draws in a deep inhale to keep his mind set in what his Rider just said.
"Rest, Kiara.. I'll be back."[/i] By that tone, its like he swore revenge for her. Thankfully, before he charged himself off of the floating piece of the earth in blind fury, his Rider punched him at the base of his neck.[/color]
"Okay, fine then, let your emotion loose when the time is right. For the time being, control yourself!" Zeph strictly ordered, not wanting his dragon to end up like Kiara by getting so lost in himself. Orphion possess the same hard-headed quality Zeph himself has, and the only way to make either of them listen, is by being stern.
"Focus, Orphion!"

Orlith roared and shot up after Orphion. If there was one thing the silver dragon didn't tolerate was another dragon so eager to fly away without careful analysis of the situation. Orlith, older and larger than Orphion, flew fast and swiftly took Zephel from his dragon's neck. She gently placed the element wielder on her back before turning around and grabbing the blue one by the tail and dragging him back down on the floating landmass.
Growling, Orlith told both rider and dragon, "Pardon me Zephel." She then looked Orphion, "You hatchlings should not be quick to try and become heroes." Orlith breathed smoke between her fangs as she settled down. She disliked disobedient drakes. And She especially disliked lack of organization. Dragons, especially those from the Weyr, thrive because of their hierarchies and mode of organization. Contrary to popular belief, dragons were as much subject of their social ties as people were. Solitary dragons did not bond with others and therefore lost their ties to knowledge and wisdom. Even wild dragons kept social ties with everyone else that shared immediate bloodlines and territories. Should they lose their organization now, they would die, especially in such a dangerous.
These young males were just jumping ahead without thought about plans and strategies as if they weren't part of the great Mt. Rei Weyr. Orlith, being the Alpha dragon of the said Weyr, would not tolerate chaotic individual action when there were others at risk.
Carefully allowing Zephel to dismount her, Orlith turned to her rider, "And you, be decisive. It is a disgrace that you let these hatchlings just fly away from you." Orlith would not allow her rider to be as dull as a wyrm's teeth.
Tyr sighed. Orlith was right, he had been careless and far less attentive about this whole thing. Walking towards the silver dragon, Tyr pat Orlith's massive scales and apologized quietly. He then looked at everyone that he was responsible for. Tyr then spoke, his voice reverting to that of the leader of two years past. "We need clean water but we also need to protect these people. It is illogical to have everyone go and leave no one to defend these civilians. Zephel, I assume that you can use your elemental powers without Orphion so I will ask that he stays here to guard his mate and everyone else while you ride with me on Orlith and follow Saiya to the water source."
Tyr's logic was simple. Since Kiara couldn't fight well in her condition and because the Syn were vulnerable against fire, Orphion presence with the others should be enough to safeguard them. If anything were to go wrong, Orphion could instantly call Zephel telepathically. Orlith was large and powerful enough to no only carry a large load if need be but also provide a mass of magical energy to Zephel if he needed it.
"We need to worry for other people on top of worrying about our own well-being." Tyr said, "Let's do this." The silver rider then climbed on his dragon's back and offered a hand to Zephel to join him.

Saiya looked at them with a soft concerned eyes, they have great bonds with each other. They care for each other, and who wouldn't they are likeable; she watched them all and looked at Gwen who perched at her shoulder.
She suddenly looked at Tyr and Zephel who talked about syns being afraid of fire. She looked at Gwen, she hummed slightly. "Afraid of fire, you say?" she uttered out, she is a pyrokinesis, though they need her help to seek for the water tank. And they need also the immense heat if the water is contaminated at the virus.
She looked at the two guy, "Wait for awhile," she suddenly let out as she went to Mitsuko. "Michi-chan," she called out as she take out a small vial with a cork that seals the somewhat reddish orange liquid.
"If syns were to attack you... this will be a great help. This is a special flame liquid I have just learned out." she explained as she looked at Mitsuko with full of hope, sincere and worried eyes. "Pour it to the ground, this will make a barrier from all of you. It won't hurt you... but the enemies will be..." she trailed out as she then looked at Iku.
She smiled at her timidly and give another vial at Iku as well, "Take this as well..." she let out and nodded. "Atleast, if the fire faded in about 10 minutes. There is another one that you can pour..."

Mitsuko looked at her friend and smiled just a little. The angel was scared, for everyone's safety but since they were going to be together to find water then that was a good thing. She gently took the vial from Saiya and nodded.
"I understand, thank you for your help, now you be careful out there and Iku I will make sure kiara is well taken care of."
Mitsuko looked at the two ladies and smiled at the each of them. She then turned her attention back to Kiara. "Please tell me where else you have pain Kiara okay? Direct me and I will see what I can do to help ease that pain." Mitsuko then also turned her attention to the little girl and the woman. From what it looks like they are both in shock still and don't know what to make of this. The angel did however tend to the woman and the little girl and making sure they were calm as they could be.

Iku clutched her hand, gritting her teeth. Tyr was right, how good of a defense would they be if everyone went. Zeph had his water controling abilities and Saiya knew where it was, Orlith was big enough to carry it but what was Iku. She had her strength but Orlith is the one who will carry it. Iku had no choice but to stay behind with Orphian, Kiara and Mitsuko. Saiya then gave her a vial of some sort. Something to keep the barrier going.
"Thank you Saiya" Iku said. She forced a smile out of her teeth. She was obviously far from ok but keeping it together. Truth be told Iku had never been so scared before. They didn't know if Kiara was going to turn, or if she was going to die. The biggest fear of all is not knowing what was going to happen. Iku took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.
"Be careful you guys" She said. The last thing she needed was more people to because injured.
Kiara laid there as Mitsuko was casting her spell. "Just the neck" Kiara said to Mitsuko. It really was the only place that hurt. The other bite marks only hit her scales which protected her skin. She was lucky in a sense but unlucky at the same time.

"! The neck? okay Kiara." Mitsuko put her hands slightly over the dragon'a neck and a healing energy emitted from them and went to the source of the pain. "I'm happy your such a trooper Kiara you are pulling through, everything will be just fine. I know it will be... Iku, and I are here the others are working together to get fresh water so that we don't get dehydrated. And then when all this is over and you get better... All of us should go somewhere nice after this. Don't you agree Iku?" She asked her dear friend.

Orphion would have let out a mighty roar the moment he could feel his Rider being absent from his back so suddenly, but by the time he noticed it was Orlith's doing, the blue one kept his fangs tight in his jaws. He tries not to show restraint the moment he was pulled back to the floating mass of land, silent growls escapes his throat through his bare fangs.
Zeph slided down of Orlith as soon as she allows him to before stomping his way to Orphion, angry and puzzled as to why his dragon is behaving like this. Orphion was never this aggressive before, but Zeph is able to guess on where this outbreak originated from. He is the dragon's half, after all, so they must shared a common ground somewhere...
The silver-haired glared hard onto his dragon, frustrated with himself for not being able to fully control Orphion at this stage. It wasn't surprising though, every time Zeph snapped, in full seriousness, his dragon didn't know what to do either. That's one thing Zeph can now see. At this realization, the element-wielder dragged his feet near Orphion, and unsurely pats the dragon thrice, staring up at the blue one, communicating with him through their minds.
Its only until Tyr spoke up that Zeph turned around to face the Weyrleader, listening to his decision and creases his brow a bit by the seperation of he and his dragon. Indeed Orphion's earlier actions annoys Zeph, and given his current unpredictable condition, Zeph is worried. He didn't let it show through his face though, and just looks back up at his dragon, delivering another telepathic message.
'...I'm counting you on this, Orphion. Do not break my trust.'
Orphion was stunned to silence. That fury in his eyes slightly ceasing by the ongoing circumstance, and in the end, he's needed to stay with Kiara. The blue dragon nodded after a long while, finally getting his senses back, deciding that it might be best for him to remain on the sanctuary and protect his mate along with all these people.
After seeing a much clearer vision of what he's supposed to do, Orphion made his way near the black dragon without a word, then turns to watch Orlith with the chosen others took off, including Zephel.
Zeph stares off into the distance of the damaged buildings of Gradia. The view from up here would have been so beautiful if it wasn't for the burnt down artifical trees, the cracking roads, the collapsed buildings and such. He frowned deeply, and only shook out from his thoughts when he noticed Tyr called out to him, stretching down his hand for him to grab.
Blood red eyes shifted their way to the Weyrleader and his dragon, worry loomed over his face slightly, but nevertheless, the silver-haired quickly climbed onto Orlith, caught Tyr's hand and pulled himself up. He glanced at the three women for a few seconds, then to the tired victims...then to Orphion. "Alright. Let's go."

With Zephel secured on Orlith's back, Tyr had his dragon take off. They circled once over the rest of the party just to make sure there weren't any suspicious things that could harm them while they were off in search of water. Tyr then had Orlith hover a bit and yelled, "Let's go Saiya!" He then waited for the girl to lead the way even though she had already informed them of the general direction of that tank.
As Saiya neared them, Tyr ordered Orlith to follow slowly. To Zephel, Tyr said, "So, how can you transport a tank of water? Make a waterball and make it float or something? I've never seen you in action before, at least, not when using your elements."

Saiya was a bit startled when Tyr called her, she was looking at the poor citizen in the Gradia whom were the only one who were saved by her former schoolmates in the Diabolic Domain. She blinked owlishly as she looked up at the sky, she sighed as she just nodded and levitate herself; making her way near Tyr alongside with Gwen whom flew beside her.
She looked at the dragon, Tyr was, "Ne, Tyr-san. If you may... do fire lizards grew like that?" she asked curiously. It has been two years since she left the school, Gwen is still as small as she was way back in the school.

When she had the strength, Kiara lifted her head. She could still see the mixed emotions in Orphian's eyes. Maybe she wasn't the one connected to him like his rider was, but it was obvious he was worried about her. "Orphian" She called out to him. "Calm down, Everything is alright, I'm just tired" She said trying to calm him down even just a little bit. Kiara had him worried. Infact she was glad Orlith stopped him, With a rage like that, Who knows what he could have gotten himself into. This way she could keep her eye on him and make sure he wasn't getting into trouble.
Same with Iku, Unlike orphian, she could feel the rage of not being able to move to not be able to do anything. Kiara sympathized, but for the same reason, she was glad that Iku wasn't going anywhere.
Iku stood there as she watched them fly off. How she wanted to go. Clenching her fist tightly, Iku continued to stand there in the same spot. It was as if she and Orphian were the ones connected, Iku took a deep breath before she turned around to Mitsuko. She was doing so much, she was even continuing to place that bright smile of hers, even in the darkest of moments. She smiled, trying to cheer everyone up just as she always has done. It was only then Iku was glad that she stayed behind. "Yes, I think we should all go somewhere nice" Iku held onto that thought in her head. Going somewhere nice was good.
She looked at the blue dragon that is Kiara's mate. She hadn't spent much time with him, Usually it was Kiara and Orphian going and doing stuff on their own. Getting the drift of Michi's idea. Talking about happy thoughts Iku sorta did the same thing. Placing her hand on the giant blue scales, Iku looked up at him. "So it's you and me, We should probably form a plan" Iku said to him. She knew he would agree. They both wanted to protect Kiara....

As Orlith circled the floating mass of land, Zeph couldn't help but to think of the possibilities of the land being invaded. The height proves that it's unlikely enough for anyone to reach their shelter unless through airborne methods, but the silver-haired still holds his concerns. It was Tyr who pulled him back to reality.
"I was thinking of wide water-disks, but a large waterball could work out just fine." His reply sounded a bit distracted. Water molecules on the surface are proven to have a stronger bond to each other than the deeper ones, so he concluded it would be easier for him to control it when the water is thin and wide. Still, it worries Zeph if the said water tank is contaminated. If that's the case, then is he able to neutralize it? He can't think of a way to test if the water is pure or otherwise.
"Tyr--" His words was cut short when Saiya suddenly expresses her curiosity of her fire-lizard towards the Weyrleader. Zeph shut his mouth, giving way for Tyr to answer, and decided to solve that problem on his own.
The large blue dragon stares at Kiara as she asked him to calm down. He wished he's able to do so, but for the time being, he can tie himself up in one place. So Orphion just nodded at Kiara and smiled weakly at her, "Please don't worry yourself of me, my dear. Just...rest. I-- No. We will watch over you."[/i] His eyes looked over to Iku and Mitsuko, cursing himself for always thinking that he's alone in protecting his mate.
Orphion was surprised of Kiara's rider, Iku, approaching him and requesting for acquaintanceship. It strikes as humorous to him of how much in common he and his rider is at the moment - even with allies around, both of them would still think that they are alone in solving everything.
"...By all means."[/i] He finally replied to Iku after a brief moment of silence.[/color]

Tyr blinked and looked over to Ren. He wasn't expecting such a question since he thought everyone knew that there were differences between firelizards and true dragons. Kindly, he answered the girl, "No, Ren, firelizards will remain the size as they are, only about a foot or so long. From what the Weyr historian said, firelizards are the most primitive dragon in the evolutionary line. They are an ancient breed."
The Weyrleader then turned to the element-wielder, "We don't have to take all of them in one go depending on how vulnerable we'll be and how dangerous the situation is. If it is obviously possible to return, perhaps you can move the water in two turns."
"Of course, I'm still concerned if its contaminated or not. Is there a way for you check?" Tyr asked. He knew that Zeph can manipulate water but he didn't know if he could see if its pure or not. He might be asking for too much but there was no harm on hoping. Tyr didn't want the people they have suddenly turning into Syns just because of the water.

Saiya nodded to Tyr and sighed, looking at her firelizard Gwen. "I see then, but that's cute..." she answered as they headed far away from Iku and Michi. She only listened to Tyr's and Zeph's conversation, this was really a critical stage for them. Everybody who survives can't really survive without food or water nonetheless.
"Anou," she started out while looking at both guy. They converse about the water knowing if its contaminated or not. "I'm a pyrokinesis, though I don't think it would help a lot. But if the water really is contaminated, I can heat up into the highest degree so the virus will die out... I really hope so it will help." she uttered out looking at both guys, really hoping that her idea would help.

Zephel listened to the Weyrleader's plan, and just nodded his head slightly with the idea. He truthfully cannot imagine how the reservoir's setting would be, and if it is indeed manifested with these predacious beings, Tyr is right. They need to go back for a second round. The silver-haired frowned deeply, obviously do not like this fact.
His attention was then drawn towards Saiya after she spoke of her part of the idea. He had thought about that, but he's not thoroughly sure if it would work. Nonetheless, they have to try to purify it to the best of their abilities. "Yeah. Good suggestion, Saiya. We'll do that." He reminded himself that he can only move water molecules...other impure compounds existed within the water is out of his manipulation range, and with Saiya boiling the water after this should be enough safety measures to calm him.
"Now to figure out where we should put the water after we head back to our floating sanctuary." He paused after saying so, and mentally slapped his head for not realizing he can communicate with his dragon, "...That's alright. I'll ask Orphion to let your wife and Mitsuko know of the problem. They'll think of something, I'm sure."
"Oh." Orphion paused his breathing, his motion, everything. Only his large eyes seemed to be slightly quivering at the voice in his head. After a moment's pause, the blue dragon then turns to the two women, and then to Kiara.
"I just received a request from Zephel." He spoke to all who wishes to hear, "It seems he needs us to think of something that could store a large amount of water."

Iku looked around the area, She didn't know this place very well. The only thing she knew well was the sky. She didn't see anything that was particularly big enough for a large tank of water. She brought her hand up to her chin. "Hm" She said as she looked around. Maybe if she found some kind of pool or another tank?
Iku knew she should have stayed near Orphian and Mitsuko, But in times like these they had no time for explanations. Iku ran off to try to find something that they could place the water, There had to have been some kind of water storing place in a floating Metroplis like this. When she made it inside of the building she noticed something... There were tanks EVERYWHERE! Just one thing... they were grimy/dirty/havn't been attended to in a while.
Iku looked around once more. There wouldn't happen to be cleaning products would there?
