Eventually, both the phoenix and I got up. I quickly assessed the situation, and took note that the dragon was down, and hopefully for the rest of the fight. This allowed me to focus mainly on the phoenix, who was glaring at me as if he could kill me that way, and out of nowhere, he flew up into the air, and started spinning around as if he was some sort of drill. He then added some of his dark magic into the mix, and, despite what I might have thought given that he's spinning at the moment, he headed towards me with all of the accuracy of a heat-seeking missile, and with just about the speed of one, as well. I had almost no time to think, and that attack looked pretty strong. [i]Well, looks like this is it... no, wait, perhaps if I copied that attack...[/i] I think as I take a deep breath, and fly up to mimic his weird, flying drill attack, except, instead of dark magic, I added in fire, and with the same accuracy that he showed me, I flew right into him, and in no time after my attack started, the two clashed. The sound was almost enough to knock me out, let alone the attack itself. Thankfully, however, before I gave up, he did. He was down on the ground again, and I, after finishing my attack, was ready to end it all for him. My claws ready, I take the plate and then... stop... my hands faltered, as if some invisible force was keeping me from actually killing them. "I... can't do it. I just can't kill them." I end up announcing to everyone. The plate then disappears, and a portal forms in front of me. Inside, I could see an almost endless cave system, with, unfortunately, spiders about half as big as I was. [i]Where... is that?[/i] I ask myself as I edge closer to the portal, disregarding the fact that it seems to lead to a dangerous place, and could very well be dangerous, itself.

While I was preoccupied with 'Mike', apparently, the dragon somehow got his grubby mitts on the phoenix. I was going to do something, however, our golem, who seemed to be in pretty bad shape, picked up the dragon and saved the phoenix's life. That, of course, had me distracted enough to take another lightning attack from Mike, who still seemed to boast amazing accuracy despite missing an eye. He laughed at that, and, though it hurt, and I could smell my feathers burning from that, I struck right back by forming a rock from the dirt below me, and forcing it to fly towards Mike, who took the attack like a chump. Of course, I don't know anybody who could take a beach basketball-sized rock to the face and not get severely damaged from it, he wasn't quite down yet. Well, okay, he was down on the ground, but he didn't seem knocked out from the attack. With all the speed of a cheetah, he rushed right at me, and slashed away at me with his powerful, sharp talons. I was hanging on by a thread, now, and I had only one option left... I took advantage of the fact that he was on the ground, and formed a rock spear underneath him. It pierced right through him, however, it somehow missed his heart as well as the rest of his organs... he was knocked out and bleeding, but not dead. I then walked over towards the golem, and, seeing that he was made of rocks, I thought to use my own rock-based powers to repair the cracks that have formed all over his body, even forming and using other rocks to repair those missing chunks. He aided us well, and he certainly doesn't deserve to not be healed. I then climbed closer to his ear, where he should be able to hear me, and said "Thanks... oh, and, by the way, my name's Tony. I actually don't know who the phoenix is, but, would you mind helping him out? I can't do it, not in the condition that I'm in." I said this calmly, and tried to keep myself from passing out from the lack of blood... oh... right... almost forgot about myself in the heat of all of this... whoops.
