"No, I wasn't an elephant fighter." Antares sighed, pawing the ground nervously as Whym confessed how tired she was. She glanced around, taking in the other's explanation of how her plan probably wouldn't work. Whym was right of course, but Antares couldn't think of anything else. Unless they could somehow trick the elephants? Perhaps by playing dead? No, that was a terrible idea. She was spending too much time around Whym.
Speaking of Whym, she seemed to be rambling a bit much. "Whym." Antares said, hoping to sort of ground her friend. Were they friends? At any rate, Whym seemed to get the message, right before she CHARGED RIGHT AT THE ELEPHANTS.
"WAIT!!!" Antares shouted, but too late. She HAD planned on discussing who should go which way to avoid being struck by the elephants' trunks, or maybe confuse them a little, but Whym was already facing the first of the elephants. Antares inwardly cringed before racing after, hoping to help at least a little. She wasn't sure if Whym was brave, impulsive or--no, wait, Whym was definitely impulsive. Antares jumped aside as an elephant charged her, turning swiftly to avoid its muscular bulk. "We CAN?!?" she neighed back, not sure at all about this. What was with Keir and elephants, anyway??
Baab the elephant skidded to a halt as he ran past one of the random quirlicorns. He huffed loudly as he turned around and pointed his trunk at the one nearest to him. "DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!!!" he trumpeted loudly at his compatriots. "AND YOU!!!" he said, turning to face the other one, ears flapping and eyes narrowed. "YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!! STOP TRYING TO RUN! FIGHT US! FIGHT US!!!!" He stomped his massive feet angrily, giving a loud battle-cry. He would NOT lose here today!! None of them would!! Elephants RULED!!!
Antares didn't know why one of the elephants was tossing its head all crazy and being so very loud, but she knew it was still as dangerous as the others. "WHYM, WATCH OUT!" she warned as it seemed like it was about to charge her. She started to run towards the chatterbox of a mare, but was knocked off-balance as one of the elephants rammed into her shoulder. She stumbled, then turned to kick the creature in the face with her hind legs, hoping to give herself some distance so she could recover. It was looking more and more like that door wasn't going to be an option.
Wait.
Where was the door??
Well now it definitely wasn't an option. "The door disappeared!!" Antares neighed loudly, trying to be heard over the extreme noise of the elephants' trumpeting and the ground thundering under everyone's feet. She dodged again as the elephant attempted a second charge, trying to catch her breath. They couldn't keep this up forever. Maybe they had no choice by to try and land a few good kicks on the elephants' heads..... As much as she hated the idea, the continued survival of Whym and herself was far more important than a few sore heads and knocked-out elephants.
