Kass "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!" I shouted, beginning to flail my hands at the green scaled Kaiju.

My fists hit against the side of her foot but she did not seem to be affected, if anything she was just annoyed.

"YOU JUST BURIED HER ALIVE?! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU? I MEAN, BESIDES THE WHOLE JERKFACE COMPLEX?!"

Her one good eye flicked down to look at me and she let out a sigh, rubbing the side of her face as she did so,

"How else were we going to find out her element?"

I set my hands on my hips and continued to glare, ceasing my attempts to maim her seeing as I had not been inflicting as much damage as I had hoped I was.

"Oh I don't know. You could have… huh, now let's see. Oh yeah! You could have done ANYTHING else that didn't involve you BURYING my BEST FRIEND ALIVE!"

She only huffed and mumbled something incoherent.

I didn't catch all of it, but I did hear the words 'insolent child' and 'such a nuisance'.

I swear one day, one day, I was going to slap her... and you know, actually cause some amount of pain.

I set my eyes on the ground and lunged for it, clawing at it with my nails erratically.

Linzy hadn't been buried that long, I could still pull her out-if I hurried.

My hands were grabbing at the dirt and rocks that were in my way, but no matter how hard I scratched it seemed that I was barely making a dent in the surface.

Maybe if I had something like a bull dozer-yeah... a giant, green, stubborn bull dozer... Hmmm, now I wonder where I could find one of those?

"Comoro!" I shouted, pointing at the giant dragon lady with a dirt covered finger and a crazy look in my eyes.

"Help me dig!"

If Linzy suffocated because of her and those other insane Femjuis I was going to flip a switch and go all cray cray, so help me.

"And why should I, runt?" she shot back and I felt my eyes narrow dangerously into two small slits.

A small feral growl rumbled at the back of my throat and I clenched at the rock in my other hand, nearly crushing it in my palm.

"Because if you don't, Momma's gonna have herself a gigantic pair of boots and a matching handbag."

We stared at eachother for a few short moments, Comoro seeming to size me up and possibly list off the ways she could kill me if I even tried to go anywhere near her while I was frantically worrying about my dear still buried alive friend.

… … "Kass?" a muffled voice sounded from below me and I whipped my head towards the source, a happy look on my face.

"Linzy! You're alive!" I shouted, voice echoing off the surface of the underground haven.

Now I didn't have to think about explaining all of this to her parents.

'Oh uh hey, I know that we'e been missing for a few days and stuff but Linzy was buried alive in another dimension by giant lizard people.'

That would get me so many slaps to the face...

"Uh, yeah. Actually, I think I'm breathing through my toenails… or something." She spoke.

My face twisted in confusion and I blinked rapidly.

"What? Are you going crazy?"

"If I am it's due to my prolonged exposure to you and your antics." She sassed.

… Well then!

"Are you trying to battle Viceroy for the title of Sass Master, Linzy?"

"No, no I'm-just get me out of here! There's bugs down here, it's gross."

LATER After what seemed like hours of non-stop digging and scraping at the dirt in front of me-with absolutely NO help from a certain green Femjui-I had finally collapsed onto the ground in a mass of sweat and dust covered limbs, a few Gamorradons straggling over to me and picking at my red skin.

I snapped at them with my teeth and they scuttled off and over to Comoro who tried not to squish them beneath her feet.

"I can't… can't dig any… anymore." I groaned, rolling onto my back and wiping the sweat from my brow.

"There's no strength left… I see the light. That you bro? Do they have cookies up there? Hmmmmmm, chocolate chip."

…

…

"You done yet?"

"LINZY?!" I shouted, bolting upright to find her seated on a stone pillar, a hole was to her right.

"B-but how…. Your element is earth isn't it?"

"Yup." "Lucky! I still don't-wait. How long were you out?"

"About two hours and thirty minutes." She shrugged and I felt my face fall.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I tried to get your attention, but you were too busy yelling at Comoro and digging."

"You could've at least walked up to me and poke me in the face." I frowned.

"I was contemplating doing that but I didn't want to get hit by flying rocks, you were digging really fast."

"Pfft, yeah. Riiiiight. You were probably reading a book. The next time I make brownies, you're not getting any. Miss Meaniepants."

"Oh, what a tragedy." she rolled her eyes before a smile broke across her face and I laughed.

It was good to know she was okay.

Better now that I didn't have to keep digging.

My nails are ruined.

Comoro cleared her throat, drawing our attention towards her.

"Now that we know one of your elements, it is time to test the other." she gestured to me before lowering her large hand down to the ground in front of me.

"Hah, alright! Bring it!" I shouted, climbing into her outstretched hand and flexing, "I'm ready for anything! So, what are we doing? Do I battle monsters or something?"

"Nope."

…

She began to walk through the cavern and I had to clutch onto her scales to keep from being jostled by the ride.

I saw Linzy walking on the ground well behind us.

I could see why, I mean, walking for Kaijus was sprinting for regular humans.

One step forward is like the size of Walmart.

"Hey Comoro what's that big pool looking thingy?"I asked her, pointing towards said object to our right.

I watched as she turned towards it.

"That would be our lava pit."

she then began to walk once more in its direction.

"Uh-huh… wait, why are we getting closer?"

"This is your test."

…

"WHAT?!" I shouted, going to grip onto her scales as she went to toss me into the boiling pit of molten rocks.

My hands held fast and I kicked my legs in the air repeatedly whilst screaming, "Nononononononono! NO! I do NOT want to become a Kassie-Que! This isn't fun anymore! Let me go!"

"Well, if you insist." She grinned, using her long talons to grab onto the back of my hoodie and pry me from her hand.

She held me ten feet above the pool of white hot… soon to be deathbed.

"No no no nonooooooooooooooo!" I screaming going down, clenching my eyes tight.

I was glad that I had left my sketchbook in the bag, at least that way my friends would have a way to remember me by... I just hope they didn't judge the drawings... I drew some... weird stuff.

My one regret?

Not eating that plate of cookies.
