They looked around the entire area not fining a single person.
"Hello! Anyone around?!" Matt shouted from the top of a huge boulder. No luck.
"That's really weird. They looked so clean they could be new when I found them. So the owner couldn't have gotten far." Matt said jumping down. He was right, there was no dirt on them. Not even a thin layer of dust.
"Guess you should hold on to them till we can find the owner." Basil suggested. Matt nodded in agreement. He stripped the belt around his waist, so the blaster guns were resting on the tops of his thighs. But before they could consider moving again the sound rocks and something else falling caught them. Basil looked up in time to see huge boulders and giant mushrooms falling right towards them from a neighboring pillar. Without thinking he pulled out his Metal Edge and ran towards the side. By split seconds stops, jumps, turns, and spins they managed to avoid most of the falling debris but mountain sized boulder came tumbling down. It was way too big to dodge no matter where they ran. Alright Lunas, let's see how well we work together! Basil ignited the ring and opened Lunas's box. He appeared in a blast of purple fire. They charged at the incoming boulder, Lunas staying over his shoulder. Basil jumped off a rock that found a new home, drew his blade back and slashed the rock right in time with Lunas' charge. The rock cracked and smashed into tiny fragments only to find a bigger boulder going to crush him in midair. There was a sound of a trigger pulled and gleaming yellow light surged right next to his ear. Being this close he could see the edge of blast flicker slightly like a flame. The boulder was instantly destroyed upon impact. Instead of being flattened like he thought he would, he landed on a small ledge just big enough to hold him. A Sun class flame? How interesting. Lunas told him hovering over his shoulder. Basil looked back down at Matt who held a blaster gun in his right hand. He was looking back up at him smiling. So you already have a subordinate. Lunas said. Basil turned to him shocked.
"Matt's my brother! Not my subordinate!" He instantly corrected. He has a powerful flame and he doesn't have Elemental Ring. So he is your subordinate, like it or not. Lunas looked directly into his eyes. The last thing Basil wanted was to drag others into this craziness nor less Matt. Talking to him was fine but physically dragging him involved, that wasn't something he was ready to do.
"Oh what do you know?!" Basil huffed. Far more than you think. Lunas replied. Basil ignored him and jumped down. Matt was rattling the gun next to his ear like a kid trying to figure out what was inside their Christmas' boxes.
"It sounds like there's something inside of here." Matt explained before he could ask.
"Could've that last shot dislodge something?" Engineering was far from his strong suit. Lunas softly landed on his shoulder. There could be an extra part that only the right person is meant to get out. Basil continued to watch Matt rattle the blaster next to his ear. At certain points light would hit the inside cover and gave a strange impression of an image. He looked closer, it was still there.
"Was that always there?" Basil asked. Matt stopped his shaking,
"What?" Basil grabbed his wrist and angled it so the light was reflecting off the surface. Now he could see the image clearly. It had head of serious looking horse with two wings on each side.
"Weird I wonder what that has to do with anything." Matt said looking at the strange image. He pulled out the second one to find out it has the same image. Matt slid the second one back into its holster and accidentally pulled the first back to far and it struck a rock. A small silver object fell out of the opening. Another ring. But this one was different, it didn't have the shield on it but the same horse logo with feathers decorating around it. So that's what was rattling around inside.
"I guess it's a three part matching set." Matt laughed picking it up. A shout broke them up and a strange shadow partly covered Basil's head. He looked up to see someone about to land on him! Basil scrambled out of the way next to Matt. The person landed hard enough to kick up dust. It was Wes.
"Hey Wes, that was some entrance!" Matt greeted.
"Matt what are you doing here?!" Wes said in his normal loud voice. Matt laughed,
"Not a clue!" Then back to his normal voice, "So what about you?"
"Extreme training!" Wes said in a normal non-shouting voice. "So Basil is that your partner?" Basil nodded,
"Did you find yours?"
"Yea right were you said it would be! On top of a volcano! Let me bring him out! Come out Kango!" Wes tighten his hand into a fist and sparked a sparkling yellow flame from his ring and brought out a bright yellow box similar to Lunas's. He pushed the top of the ring inside and the lid rushed open to reveal a tan colored kangaroo with the same yellow flames coming out of its ears and the tip of the tail. It was wearing athletic tape on its wrists and feet. So we now know the Sun Guardian was found his partner. One element down, six more to go. Lunas said.
