The first thing Jay heard was a scream, before he started coughing, his throat raw and sore from the dust filling his lungs. He tried, unsuccessfully, to wave the dust away from his face. He became aware of voices, of people calling his names and sounds in front of him.
"Jay?" He coughed again, and Herry and Archie moved forward to help him. Jay grinned as Archie's face came into view.
"We got you man." Archie said, glancing back at Herry who was watching his friend worriedly as he lifted planks of splintered wood off him. Together they each placed a hand under each of his arms and one on top, lifting him carefully out of the rubble. Theresa and Atlanta smiled as Herry and Archie carefully helped Jay stand between them.
"Um, guys?" Odie asked uncertainly, watching four figures emerge from the rubble. He cleared his throat and they all looked in the same direction as him. The four coughed and spluttered, stumbling out of the debris.
"Who are you?" Jay asked, as soon as some of the dust cleared. The four stood, removing their hands from their knees. "Where'd you come from?" The smallest one, shaking his dust-caked red hair, stared open-eyed at the unconscious Calydonian Boar.
The tallest figure, a black-haired boy with a helmet, cleared his throat, coughing slightly, and straightened. "I'm the Dragon Booster!" He announced proudly, placing his hands on his hips in what resembled a superman pose. Jay and his friends exchanged glances, before quickly bursting out laughing. The black-haired boy looked confusedly at his own friends, who shrugged.
"No, seriously." Jay said, straightening and wiping away an imaginary tear. "Who are you?"
"Artha Penn." He introduced, watching Theresa carefully. Jay's eyes narrowed and he glared at Artha. Archie and Herry exchanged a glance and grinned. Atlanta rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "The Dragon Booster." He added, and Atlanta raised an eyebrow at Jay who shrugged. "Sorry, 'bout the-" he gestured toward the collapsed building.
"No problem." Jay said, Archie and Herry slowly letting go of him. Artha glanced sheepishly at his shoes, rubbing the back of his head. "We just have the slight problem now of getting down." He said, leaning slightly on his left leg and nearly falling over. Archie grinned and steadied him.
"That's okay, we have Beau-" The girl to his left held out her hand to silence him.
"Um, Artha?" He glanced at her. "Beau's not here and neither is Wyldfyr." She said pointedly. The boy in between the red-haired one and Artha glanced around nervously.
"She's right Artha." He said, earning another raised eyebrow from Atlanta when he started shaking.
"And who are you?" Atlanta asked, her arms still crossed.
"Parmon." He muttered, rubbing his hands together nervously. Jay raised an eyebrow and glanced at his friends.
"Lance Penn." The redhead said, placing his hands on his hips and trying to look taller. "And this is Kitt Wonn." She glanced at him.
"I can introduce myself thanks." Kitt said sourly, watching Artha warily as he stared at Theresa, who looked away uneasily. Archie chuckled as Kitt stamped hard on Artha's boot, causing him to exclaim and pain and glare at her.
"Where are you from?" Jay asked, trying to rid the smirk off his face.
"Dragon City." Artha replied, wiping some dust he'd spotted on his shoulder. Jay raised an eyebrow and glanced at Odie, who shrugged. "And you are?" He gestured at the group.
"Jay, Herry, Archie, Atlanta, Theresa and Odie." Jay answered, pointing at each respective person.
"Is it safe yet?" A muffled voice came from the now demolished building. "Ow." Jay sighed and shook his head, dust from his brown hair showering him.
"And Neil." He added, jabbing his finger in the direction of the building, from which Neil was just emerging from.
"Guys, I really think-" Neil started, starting to stride to where Odie stood, halting at Lance, Parmon, Artha and Kitt. "Whoa. Where'd the hideous costumes come from?" Artha crossed his arms angrily, glaring at the blonde.
"Neil." Jay said sternly, rolling his eyes. "This is Artha, Parmon, Lance and Kitt." He gestured to each of them and Neil's expression remained the same.
"Are we having a dress-up party or something?" He asked, disgust clear in his voice.
"What is that?" Lance repeated, pointing at the Calydonian Boar. "Is it alive?" He asked, his voice wavering slightly.
"It's a Calydonian Boar," Jay replied. "And it's unconscious, for now." Neil glanced uncertainly at it, stepping away from it. Atlanta rolled her eyes.
"So where'd you come from?" She asked. Artha opened his mouth. "Wait, let me rephrase that. How'd you get here?" She gestured to the building. The four shrugged, glancing behind them.
"We were just standing there, and this black hole just opened underneath us. One second we're standing there and the next we're falling and then-" He gestured at the building. "Well, you know." Jay exchanged glances with his friends.
"Black hole?" Odie asked, clearing his throat. Artha nodded.
"Oh no." Kitt groaned and her friends looked at her. "Moordryd. He's probably gotten the goblet thingy by now." Artha mimicked her and groaned, hitting himself lightly on the forehead.
"Goblet thingy?" Archie asked, scepticism clear on his face.
"It has some weird name." Artha shrugged.
"We should talk to Hera." Jay said and his friends nodded in agreement.
"Hera? As in Goddess of Marriage and Queen of the Gods, the daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. Sister and wife of Zeus. In legends she was angry at the Trojan prince Paris for picking Aphrodite, goddess of love over herself and aided the Greeks in the Trojan war-" Lance mimicked Kitt's earlier movement and stamped on Parmon's foot, causing a slight squeal to emit from his mouth. He glared at Lance. Odie and Jay exchanged impressed glances.
"Yes, Hera." Jay said. "Let's go." He said.
"Um, Jay I was thinking-" Neil said, smoothing his hair back.
"We're all going." Jay said firmly, resisting the strong urge to roll his eyes. "Now." He added, causing Neil to mumble something under his breath. "Um, Herry? Could you clear some of this?" Jay asked, gesturing to the demolished building. Herry nodded and Jay suppressed a grin at Artha and his friend's surprised faces as Herry effortlessly tossed the wood into a pile on the side.
"Impressed?" Jay asked, cocky, as he walked past the stunned four on his way to the stairs. Atlanta, Thersea, Herry, Archie and Neil followed, with Odie waiting for Parmon.
"So you know about Hera?" He asked, as Parmon slid into step next to him.

Moordryd and Cain couldn't help but let a scream escape their lips as they headed headfirst into the dumpster, a horrible stench radiating from it. They grunted as they hit the rubbish, nearly getting swallowed by the mass of rubbish.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid." Moordryd muttered, stumbling over the edge of the dumpster and grunting as he pulled himself up. There was a large thud as he hit the ground on the other side, and he immediately started flicking off pieces of rubbish.
"Moordryd?" Cain's hesitate voice interrupted his mumbling. Moordryd glanced up angrily .
"What?" He snapped, pulling a face as he threw a piece of dead fish back into the dumpster.
"Where are we?" Cain asked uncertainly, glancing around the narrow alleyway they were occupying. Moordryd shrugged, glancing around. The alleyway was dark, only a thin strip of light near the entrance of the alleyway, ten metres or so to the left of where they sat. Other than the dumpster, the alleyway was empty.
Moordryd growled and stood, avoiding the slippery rubbish underneath him. He sighed in frustration as Cain slipped and nearly fell facefirst onto the ground. He chuckled nervously, watching Moordryd carefully as he stood.
"The Dragon Booster'll pay for this." Moordryd muttered, glancing both ways of the alleyway.
"Should we find out where we are first?" Cain asked. Moordryd glanced and him and glared.
"Fine." He finally said. "Then we get the Dragon Booster."
