In The Cloudbreak Islands. On a large island with a sea of desert blanketed over it. Near an old mine.
Mabu workers and helpful desert dwellers ran back and forth. Everyone was carrying digging tools, with buckets, pick axes, shovels and large crates full of rocks and rubble, as the whole area was what appeared to be a huge workplace of frantic activity. An old entry way into one of the mine's shaft tunnels was filled in to the roof with boulders and debris, and the panicked workmen were rushing to remove it all. Everywhere near the tunnel entrance's general vicinity, not one person could step without soon being blocked off by larger obstacles, and there appeared to be no clear way around them.
A line of workers were pulling out big stones one after the other from the piles, two very large machines were hard at work stockpiling the collected rubble to a safer area out of the way, and even a few skylanders themselves showed up to assist in the dilemma.
"Faster! Faster! Careful now.. We gotta get them out!" A voice called to another. "He's hurt!" Another voice shouted out. Many conversations streamed through the place seemingly all and once, as it had become very loud and very bustling, an atmosphere.
Aeris stood near a wooden table out in the sun, looking over mine shaft tunnel plans and blueprints with a few of the workmen. Her face was red hot and sweating, but still focused and determined. "Side carriage shaft seven is being looked through, boys. If all goes well, that's entrance free of trapped miners". She said to the others, all just as focused, but as far as even Mabu courage goes, still panicked and on edge. "Henry, bring those shovels over to those guys over there, no one is digging here with their bare hands!" Aeris called to a worker, pointing him the right direction.
"We're still making little progress on the main tunnel over there, miss" One of the hardhats said to her, "Everyone's still trying to get past all the debris that overflowed through the entry way". Aeris wiped her forehead with a cloth, quickly putting it back in her jacket's pocket. She gave the worker Mabu a thumbs-up, "Don't worry too much, pal. They've already got Prism Break on the other side, drilling through the rock. I just hope those trapped people stay a good few feet while he does his stuff".
Morale kept strong, only because Aeris remained so calm and in charge. She is a professional in these types of situations. From stopping a forest fire blazing inferno with Stump Smash and Camo, to fixing up Mabu village houses from an earthquake, to assisting Gill Grunt and citizens in helping survivors of a flooded valley. The cowboy hat-wearing blond haired girl dealt with all the worst that Skylands had ever suffered.
While the men continued looking through the blueprints and her chance to check up on others, Aeris walked around the large sandy area, keeping a close eye on all the activity. She made sure the collected rubble was taken well far away from the mine. She checked on the survivors that were saved thus far, aiding helpers that were tending to their injuries. She inspected closely as the several teams of workers were moving back and forth, each one hard at work to clear up the blocked shafts.
"MISS! MISS!" A Mabu called out to Aeris, who quickly ran over to him in a second. "Uhh..uuhhh we might have dug too far into the backway of upper entance nine, aaand...we accidentally provoked a bunch of creatures in their nest down there..." The clumsy worker stumbled. Aeris sighed and took a deep breath, then responded, "I'll have Bash take care of that. This will take time".
