Saving Soul

The fireball landed just short of the duck-dragon. It hurriedly changed its course to the left.

"So Taire installed some survival instinct into this one, did he?" Adair commented with some amusement.

Anja snickered and blew more fireballs at it.

The duck-dragon waddled around frantically as fireballs crashed all around it. Adair laughed at the sight.

Anja was quickly growing frustrated. "Why won't you melt!"

The duck-dragon tripped and fell onto one of its melted comrades, flailing.

Smirking at her luck, Anja quickly shot it with a quick succession of fireballs.

The contraption was quickly roasted.

"Duck! Duck! Duck!" it squawked.

Anja laughed. "Now this one is funny" she grinned, shooting another fireball.

The duck was finally silence with that final flame, fully melted just like its other comrades.

"Let's see," Adair muttered, sifting through the bag to bring out contraption that had frog-like legs and a snake-like body. "...I don't even know what the hell this thing is supposed to be." He began hunting for the one switch.

Anja smirked. "I think I'm rubbing off on you"

"I'm getting that impression too," Adair replied casually as he finally found the on switch. It activated and turned around.

"What is this-"

Adair was interrupted by a fireball to the face. The contraption began bouncing about, shooting random bursts of smoke and flame everywhere.

Anja snickered and blew a stream of flame at the contraption.

"...I guess this must be an attack contraption," Adair muttered, wiping the soot off his face as he watched the odd machine bounce over Anja's flamethrower attack.

"The fight makes it more fun" Anja snickered.

The contraption got hit by some firebreath, but it only melted a little. This one appeared tougher than the previous ones.

"Hmm. How do I make my flame hotter?" Anja asked

"Hold it in longer before you release it," Adair advised. "Or purse your mouth like you're trying to whistle to concentrate the flame."

Anja tried it, making the flame more concentrated.

This time when the machine got hit its leg partially melted. It fell over and went around in circles on the ground, shooting fireballs the whole time.

Anja tried again, aiming for the head.

After a couple missed attacks the machine was hit in the head, and promptly exploded, sending goop and shards everywhere.

Anja giggled and rushed away.

"Must be the fire devices that explode," Adair noted blandly, plucking a shard out of his arm and blowing white fire over it.

"Must be. But this is fun! Anything else?" Anja asked

"One more, it looks like," said Adair, pulling out a gator-like contraption and examining it. "Now why can't he put the switches somewhere easy to find?" he grumbled.
