Boom-De-Yada Science - Danger Shop, Wednesday, Period 1 [Week 12]

[worsethanaunts.livejournal.com]

Upon entering the Danger Shop, the students found themselves on the side of a mountain. They weren't dangling or anything like that. There was a perfectly good landing to fit them all and a perfectly good (if steep) path leading down to the village below and the water beyond that. Everything was grand as it could be, except for the fact that the mountain had smoke wafting up from its top.

The Doctor waited for the door to close behind the last of them. The ground rumbled underneath their feet. He gave them a look that spelled out their doom, namely a 'this is going to be fuuuuun' smile. Turning to look up at the mountain, he pointed out the smoke. "Volcano. Don't die. Have fun!"

The rumbling happened again and the top of the volcano exploded into life, sending burning rocks and a spray of lava, smoke and ash into the air.

With that, he broke into a trot down the steep mountain path. Anyone not wanting to deal with lava would have been wise to follow.

The Village

The village was small with only a dozen and a half houses, most of which were now on fire. Watch out for the flaming, flying rocks of doom raining down from above and the random sinkholes with magma underneath. Patches of the ground are too hot to be normal and the pond in the middle of town was now full of burny acid thank you, Dante's Peak.

A few hundred meters away from the village, between it and the volcano, Kurt started teleporting large chunks of earth out of the ground and piling them close by -- effectively building a wall around the village with a trench in front of it. It wasn't going to be done by the time the lava got there, but he had to try, didn't he?

Helen sighed again, amazing how she managed that when she could barely catch her breath, no? Then she changed her arm into that ever so handy sword of light that could cut through anything and began slicing up big chunks of earth for Kurt to move. Had to be easier when he didn't have to rip them from the ground himself, right?

Kurt grinned at her and saluted. "Danke!"

He staggered a little, but fought to keep the nausea under control and went back to moving earth.

Helen continued cutting, but was a bit worried when he staggered. "Anything else I can do to help?" she called over.

Kurt shrugged. "Know anyone who can help with the moving? The Danger Room makes it all weird when I 'port."

She shook her head. "I don't know. But hopefully if there is someone they'll come help."
