Abras raised itself up high into the sky and leered down on Yoochun, who was just now getting to his feet after the creature's speech, "You don't stand a chance against me!!!" Yoochun smiled, "So, do I stand a chance with you then?"

Abras actually blushed for all of 4 seconds before it roared and lunged-

-but Yoochun was no quitter, and Abras forgot something-

-a column of solid sand shot from the beach and hit the great dragon directly in the face, causing the beat to unwillingly inhale gallons upon gallons of broken down rock and earth as Micky clapped his hands together, his strength returning to him-

-Abras swivelled and immediately went into evasive manuevers as large hands, made out of sand, formed and tried to crush the beast between them, "Gaia, thank you!!!" Micky made sure to send a quick prayer of thanks before concentrating his efforts on grabbing the scaly creature before him.

Abras curled around and dived-straight for the dark-haired man on the shore, who was currently wrapping himself in an armor made of dirt from the treeline behind him, "Today is the day you die!!!"

Yoochun grunted as he rolled to one side, avoiding claws this way and that-

-but he forgot one thing, and paid for it-

-Abras' tail wrapped around Micky and tossed him into the ocean,"Let's see you try and swim now, Gaia's Champion!!"

Micky didn't have time to make a snappy comeback as he found himself being pulled under by the weight of the ocean around him, the saltwater cloggingup his eyes and ears as he hurriedly tried to release some of the now mud from his body so he could swim back up to the surface-

-but, to his horror, Abras dived into the water on top of him, slamming its whole body onto the Gaia warrior to the point where Micky could feel the sudden pop in his chest as he sunk another 100 feet straight downwards, into the dark murky zone below, !!!!

-Abras went in for a killing squeeze, coming and curling around Yoochun's body as he tried getting back to the surface-

-Bubbles erupted from Yoochun's mouth and nose as his lungs were painfully consricted-

-Abras smiled in apparent victory, but then-

-a roar, a rush of water, and sudden vertigo-

-as both it and Micky found themselves suddenly shooting up out of the water and into the sky in a fantastic burst of water!!!

Micky spat out water as Jaejoong appeared, with furious eyes and water surging from his hands as he rode a wave towards the struggling pair.

As soon as Micky's feet had touched the sand earlier, he immediately felt better, his vitality returning to him with each passing moment. Such was the truth for Jaejoong-as soon as he was completely submerged in thick, salty ocean water, all of his ailments blew away like whispers in his ear. 

"Argh-you are more stubborn than you look!!!"-Abras released Micky and retreated to the sky as Jaejoong released another powerful stream of water in the creature's direction. Micky coughed, but quickly waded out of the shallow end back towards the shore, where he could dig his feet into the sand and recover somewhat. "What took you so long, hyung? I thought you broke up with me!!!"

Even though Jaejoong shook his head, the eldest still smiled as he looked over at Micky quickly, "I came back for your apartmnt key-I left my hoodie at your place!!!" Jae's eyes grew serious, "Now, let's finish this."

Abras laughed as Micky began shooting large sand meteors into the sky, but all in vain- "You cannot hit me, Earth child- I'm just out of your reach!!!" This was true-everytime Micky's ball got close, the large dragon would either swoop out of range, or merely swat it away like it was playing some twisted game of badminton.Jaejoong growed as he spread his arms wide-

-causing a huge wave to appear behind him, "Micky-take a deep breath!!"-

-The younger man quickly did as he was told, in as much air as he could whilst anchoring himself to the sand as the tide retreated into the ocean-

-Jaejoong punched both of his hands outwards, in the direction of Abras-

-and the wave raised over his head in a spectacular arc, coming and catching the dragon offguard-

-Micky shut his eyes automatically and braced himself as much as he could as the sheer force of the water rocked him backwards, pushing and pulling around him until he was carried away in the tidal wave-

-But Jaejoong had an eye on his dongsaeng, and immediately whirled one hand in a large circular motion-

-causing the water to flip the baritone right side up, before seeping and fanning out, back towards the ocean-

-Micky sputered out the taste of seaweed from his mouth as he furiously tried to clear his eyes, "Please tell me you drowned that bastard."

Jaejoong growled as from somewhere above their heads, a callous laugh rang out, ".......I don't have to say anything."

Micky's vision cleared, and Jaejoong came to stand beside him as he looked up, where Abras was curling in the sky, sharp canines showing as it laughed, "All you did was make it rain, you idiot!!"

Micky's eyes suddenly flashed, "Hyung, if you didn't touch him, then.......I have an idea!!!"

Jaejoong's head whipped as suddenly Micky brought his foot back and made a kicking motion-

-causing the pale man to go shooting into the ocean as Micky began firing off his sand balls again-

-Abras swooped in and batted them this way and that, splattering sand in the air and mud into the tide-

-but that was exactly what Micky was hoping for.

Closing his eyes and reaching out to Gaia, Micky extended his hand and pulled with all of his might, "Come on, come on.....!!!"

The sand that had accumulated onto the massive beast's body, as a result of it being pelted with pellets, came together and began to solidify, making Abras let out a shriek of surpise as suddenly it found itself getting heavier at an alarming rate-

For the first time in what felt like a long while, Jaejoong let out an angelic smile as he realized that Micky was dragging the massive beast back towards the ocean-to his playing field, "Micky.....I could kiss you right now!!!"

Micky grunted, "Save it for later, hyung-incoming!!!"He slammed his hands, palms spread and fingers splayed straight down onto the surface he stood on-

-and the sand immediately began to plummet to the ground, breaking altitude and dragging Abras with it, even as the beast began to cryout and wiggle, trying to break free-

-but Jaejoong was already beginning to rise up in the waves again, gaining momentum to meet the beast halfway as Micky slammed his hands into the ground again-

-Abras found itself back into the water with a massive crash as Jaejoong said, a chill creeping into his voice, "I will take it from here, Yoochun-rest now. You have done well."

Indeed, even though he was connected to the Earth Yoochun wobbled and sank to his as he wasn't prepared to fight today-

-Jaejoong raised water to slam the creature under the waves, where Abras tried to strike out at him with his fangs and claws, but to no avail- "You are on my homefield now..."

Jaejoong's eyes turned blue as he submerged himself into the dark depths, swimming in a lazy circle around Abras, who was now stuggling as the hydrothermic pressure began closing in and it could feel severe strain on its muscles, "You had fun with Yoochun-tell me, how does it feel now that the tables have turned?"

Abras laughed, even as it was in pain-greenish ink began to sprout from its mouth as Jaejoong shot this question into its head telepathically, Hah.....hah.....it doesn't matter.....my job...is complete. I separated you from....... your friends, didn't I...?

A chill that had nothing to do with the water around him went through Jae's body as he realized that he hadn't heard anything from Junsu,Changmin, or Yunho since they separated at the hotel, and he turned furious eyes onto the writhing creature struggling before him, What have you done-what have you done-answer me!!!

Abras merely laughed as Jaejoong brought his arms to his chest and crossed them, causing the ocean to tighten its incredible grip around the beast, You'll....ha......find out soon......soon,....the world world....will find out soon...

Jaejoong had heard enough-

-pushing his hands together with finality, the eldest man smashed Abras down until the laughter turned into wheezing, then into a dying wheeze, and soon there was nothing as Jaejoong's power crumpled the beast as though it was made out of paper.

Back on the shore,Micky watched as the stormy waters battled, curled, finally parted and there stood Jaejoong, walking to him quickly as the ocean made a path for him. He held out a hand and pulled Micky to his feet as Jaejoong had a faraway look in his eyes, "This was a setup-they wanted to separate us from our brothers-we must hurry!!!"

Micky nodded towards the horizon, where they could see smoke rising into the air, "We still have a ways to go-do you have enough energy to surf us out there?" Jaejoong nodded, "Let's go!!!"
