The pain of each ice cold rock struck Jonas as he slid down the hard packed snow left in the wake of the boulder that occupied his forward vision. He could feel his body being battered but knew that stopping their descent at this point seemed impossible, they would have to ride it out and hopefully reach the ground level below not completely battered and bruised. Jonas felt his body twist and turn as he slid, doing his best to guide himself in the direction of the boulder with his hands, knowing that without it to protect them that they were as good as dead. The descent felt as if it took hours, but Jonas knew it was likely more like minutes, as the ground's slope began to lesson with every passing meter. Tensing Jonas knew what would come next, he only hoped that Mt. Woe had fallen enough that they would not be cast off the edge of some grand precipice with no hope of survival. Eyeing the boulder closely Jonas watched as it was thrust over the edge of the mountain's foot, then he was weightless. His vision blurred as he flailed and then landed with a thud in the deep snow pack below, feeling the fall but saved by the ground's deep snow cover. ” Peter, PETER?! ” Jonas found himself yelling an searching through the white as he tried to pull himself to his feet, every part of his body aching. ” Peter where are you?! ” Genuine worry lept from his mouth as he continued to search for his friend, fearing the worst.

Things seemed to slow down around Peter as he slide down the mountain that was suspended in mid air. Not only did the things around him slow, Peter noticed he did too, but he thoughts seemed to be going a mile a minute. He found it humorous that should a gravestone ever be placed for him after this fall, it would inform others that he dies before he was even born. The same with Jonas Peter thought as well. Peter may have even seen in his time the plants fertilized by his decomposed corpse. The thought brought a peace over Peter with the full knowledge that he would die, time would pass, and he would be born.
All that went away after falling off the mountain and seeing the fall wasn't a guaranteed quick death, “SHIT!!!” Peter yelled, flailing at the air around him. Everything around him sped back up to normal speed, but the snow below didn't get the memo and seemed to hit Peter too quickly he fell deep enough to be covered by it. One rabbit ear then another raised from the snow as Peter heard his name, “Ugh!” Peter helped himself out of the snow and smiled towards Jonas, “Don't worry. You couldn't get rid of me if you tried.” Wiping the snow off his body to try to keep warm, Peter looked around him and tried to figure out where they were now.
Jonas felt a sense of relief as Peter emerged from the deep pack snow which had saved them from the towering fall from Mt. Woe. Jonas felt the ground around him violently shaking and instinctively he knew the mountain was finally settling back into it's place on the frozen world below, they would need to act quickly and return to the village of Algetty, where the altitude of the nearby mountains would protect them from any impact. ” Come on Peter, we need to move quickly. ” Jonas said as he started to run as fast as he could in the snow, looking over his shoulder knowing that the mountain would impact soon. Ahead the rock peaks arose from the frozen tundra, the village was locked within them. Jonas felt his anxiety slowly dropping when the blue glimmer of steel caught his eye, the massive flying dreadnought slowly revealing itself more and more as they neared. ” Looks like we're going to have more trouble then just the impact. ” Jonas said to Peter, never slowing as he continued to push forward.

Peter followed behind Jonas, keeping speed, understanding the danger they faced. The mage began to be amazed that after falling down a mountain that was also falling wasn't the craziest thing he's done within the past month. Now a gigantic metal “bird” was hunting them down, still not the craziest thing. See the Blackbird in the distance, Peter didn't slow down in the least bit. Peter felt literally between a rock and a hard place and Peter would rather choose the one that wasn't plummeting at the moment. “Let's deal with what can be dealt with.”
The sunlight reflected in all it's glory from the blue steel hull of the Blackbird which seemed to be alight with activity as Jonas and Peter neared. It was clear to Jonas that whatever had occured on that mountain had brought this result on the village, and while somewhere deep down he still worried about Crono and the others he knew that these people would need to be saved as well. ” Follow my lead on this one Peter, it's probably the only way we can save these people. ” Jonas said as he continued to push forward, noticing now that the people from the dreadnought seem to have finally caught sight of he and Peter. ” Leave those people alone! We're the ones that brought that mountain back to the ground! ” Jonas shouted across the cold thundra, his eyes darting to Peter for the briefest moments before engaging back on those he already considered enemies. Knowing that he would have to seal the deal Jonas was already reaching behind his right shoulder and unclipping the small leather strap that kept his blade snug in it's harness, freeing the cold steel weapon with a quick pull. He was unsure how far he would have to take this ruse, but hopefully the aggressors would bite and take he and Peter rather than the villagers.

Peter nodded towards Jonas and trusted him without a need to explain his plan. It, at the very least, felt like the two had spent a lot of time together and that bond allowed Peter to ask no questions, but his ears had other plans. The rabbit ears jumped up, almost off Peter's head, as they heard Jonas addressing the people from the Blackbird. Peter already had an idea of the plan and knew that saving these people here was the first priority.
Three fireballs appeared around Peter, dancing and circling around the mage. One of the fireballs moved to his crown and from that ball a flame jettisoned upward the same way Peter had caught the Blackbird's attention before, “Fear the awesome power that is ours.” Peter raised his arms up beside him as the flame subsided back into a ball and circled him. Peter's rabbit ears drooped down his head as Peter's eyes darted side to side, “Oops, guess I misread the atmosphere a bit.” Peter whispered to Jonas.
Jonas watched as in the distance, the figures that had been up to that point rounding up a large group of villagers seemed to stop, an air of confusion all around. It seemed like several moments passed before they had regrouped and formed what seemed like a group of twenty or more, all of them heading out onto the tundra towards both Jonas and Peter. ” Looks like we got what were were looking for, lets put on a show for these guys. ” Jonas said as he looked over to Peter, who had summoned three balls of glowing red flame which seemed to warm the air all around them. Ahead the group of twenty or more were closing in, they were within fifty meters, it was time to close the distance and maybe even wound a few before they would ultimately be captured. ” We've gotten out of worse situations, so lets make the best of this one while we can and do some damage! ” Jonas said as he felt his heart rate rising, before he took off forward as fast as his legs would carry him, sword gleaming in the sunlight as he ran.

Peter watched as their enemies amassed in front of them, wondering if this would even save the villagers or bring damnation to them all. The rabbit ears jumped up and down on Peter's head trying to escape their fate, “Sorry buddies, we gotta do this.” The fireball around Peter swirled faster and faster as Jonas rushed towards the enemies. Peter commanded one ball the shoot forward and circle Jonas' blade as the other two prepared for when the enemy advanced.
Jonas felt the ache of his body as he slowly opened his eyes, his head throbbing as his mind, still foggy, tried to peice together the events of the past day. Shifting his weight, Jonas let out a sigh of pain as he tried to sit up, wondering now exactly where he was. The room itself was dim, the walls and floor seemed metallic, refracting the limited light in a pale blue hue. As he turned his head he noticed the only door to the room, from which light poured through a small glass window illuminating a strip of the riveted floor in front of it. ” Peter, where are you? You in here? ” Jonas groaned as he felt around his body, finding that his satchel and weapon were both indeed gone. ” Time to figure our way out of here. ” He continued to speak, feeling the presence of someone else in the room, and assuming that it was his friend Peter, and once again they would be finding their way out of trouble.

A sarcastic laugh came out of the darkness of the cell, “You talking about the rabbit? I saw them carrying someone away after they dropped you here. He had rabbit ears on his head.”The figure Jonas had sensed moved from the shadow into the light. A young teenager with a large white mohawl wearing a mischievous grin.“Sorry there's no way out. They even sealed my magic away here.”The teen stuck out his hand, trying to generate his magic, but nothing happened, “Name's Joker, Joker Hiro. What you do to get sent here?”were now.
Jonas was surprised by the voice that called from the dark corner of the cell, stepping out into the light to reveal himself not as Peter but as a youth who seemed rather mischievous in nature. Feeling a sense of worry Jonas found his head clearing fast now, the gears starting to move again, recalling the events that had led him to this place. ” They took Peter somewhere else, he must be on this ship no? ” Jonas was half speaking to himself, trying to settle his mind and give himself some hope that he could escape and rescue Peter. ” There is always a way out, Joker was it? ” Jonas replied as he got to his feet, feeling the subtle sway of his body under the movement of the Blackbird. Cautiously Jonas moved towards the window, peering out through the door into a corridor of some kind, it seemed empty, they would have to find a way out.

Joker laughed to himself after hearing Jonas' words, “Didn't think anyone who went up against them would be willing to still fight them” Joker sat back down on the cell floor with his back against the wall, “He's on the ship somewhere, but they gave not hint.” Smirking after hearing his name as if he was an inside joke, “Yea, but I don't think I caught your name. Whats your plan mysterious hero when you get out of here? You have no weapon and are surrounded by the same people who just put you here.” Joker crossed his arms and looked defiant. He had been thinking of getting out since he got in here and a part of him didn't want to believe someone else could do it.re now.
As the young man spoke, his voice reverbating and echoing within the room which they were imprisoned Jonas realized that he was not aware of how or why he and Peter had been captured, and if that was the case he had already been locked in this very room when they had been. Stepping closer to the door, his face close to the small glass window, Jonas peered out into the corridor, it seemed empty but something in his gut told him otherwise. ” I've found myself in worse situations than this before, and I managed to get out of all of them ” Jonas was quick to respond as he turned towards Joker, giving a sly grin as he did. ” My name is Jonas by the way, now if you don't mind I'm going to get us out of here. ” Jonas spoke before turning back towards the door and with a series of swift kicks he began to make such a raucous amount of noise that it wouldn't take long for someone to come investigate.

With a shrug of his shoulders, Joker moved back to the corner of the cell and look out at the door as he had no where else to really look, “I remember being like that.” Joker was reminded of his want to escape and rebel after being put it the cell, but that rebellious nature was quickly removed, “If you figure out anything, let me know, but they punish for escape attempts.” Joker wished more than anything to escape and fight back, but hope was a dangerous thing. It would allow one to reach beyond their means or to fall from great heights. \
Sensing that the young man Joker had been imprisoned in the room for some time, perhaps even days, the escape plan started to formulate in his mind. After another series of loud swift kicks to the door Jonas moved quickly towards Joker, grasping the young man around the waist, physically pushing him towards the door as fast as he could. ” I know you don't really know me, but you're going to have to trust me on this one. ” Jonas was saying as he forced the slight young man in front of the door before once against kicking at it with his boots. ” I've got your back. ” Jonas finished speaking before sliding against the cool metal wall to the side of the door, waiting, ready to pounce. Only a few seconds past before Jonas heard the loud clang of the door lock disengaging and felt the vibrations through the wall as it was pulled open with a loud metal against metal squeak. A burly man stepped into the room, pushing hard against young Joker. Jonas felt sorry for the kid, but knew it would be worth it in the long run. ” What the hell did I tell you about making so much noise kid! ” The man had started talking, his voice deep and raspy when out of his peripherals he sighted Jonas who had already moved to strike and with one well placed punch had sent the large man staggering backwards into the riveted metal walls. ” Quick kid! ” Jonas said as he rushed the man swinging his leg at his torso.

Joker nodded towards Jonas, smirking ear to ear. Joker may have given up hope to escape, but causing them a little trouble was right up his allow. Standing with defiance, Joker cocked his head up slightly to look down on the taller guard, “But you know I love to see that ugly mug of yours.” Joker kept his eyes locked on the guard, trying to keep his attention until wack. Down went the guard. After a swift kick to the guard's abdomen, Joker ran behind Jonas, “So where to now?! Gotta be honest, I've never had an issue getting out, problem is there's no where to go.” \
With the guard hunched over, taken care of by the new pair, Jonas turned his attention back to the door which was now slightly ajar. Moving swiftly he pushed the heavy door fully open, and not hesitating moved out into the corridor. The hum of the blackbird's massive prop-engines could be felt everywhere in the plane, his knees literally trembling not out of fear but necessity. ” First thing I need to find my gear, the we need to find Peter, and once we have done both of those we'll figure out a way to land this bird and escape. ” Jonas replied to Joker as he started to eye the different doors that were spaced on both sides of the corridor. ” You have any idea where they would have stashed my things? ” Jonas asked, as he started to feel uneasy about being out in the open and instinctively moved towards the door across from their makeshift cell.

Joker thought about his last break out and began to think about where he had found his weapon. Joker grabbed onto Jonas' arm and pulled him in a different location, “Not there.” His weapons had been there on the first escape, but the guards had gotten wiser and moved them. Running down a corridor, left, right, then stopping in front of a door that led into a large room that appeared to be an armory. “Is your stuff in here?” Joker hoped that they only had to make one stop as he rummaged through the a nearby chest and pulled out a necklace and wrapped it around his neck. Strength welled from within Joker as he felt his magic returning to him now that the spell keeping his magic surpressed was dispelled. Joker looked to Jonas with a twinkle in his eyes, “Let's take these guys down.” \
Joker seemed to hesitate for a moment as he racked his brain for the location he had been asked for, then like a bolt of lightning he was moving, pulling Jonas away from the nearby door. Joker lead him down the corridor, turning left, then right, until they stopped in front of another door, it's shape and markings the same as the one before. ” If you're sur— ” Jonas had begun to say as the young man opened the heavy metal hatch type door with a quick turn of the circular door fixture, leading him into what was clearly an armory. ” Yeah this is probably it. ” Jonas corrected himself as he stepped in behind the teen and after a quick look around had located his blade and satchel, all of the items within seemingly still there. ” There will certainly be time for that, however first we need to find Peter. Any idea where they might have locked him up? ” Jonas asked as he slung his satchel around his should and strapped the harness that held his blade's scabbard in place to his back, happy to feel it's weight there once more. Before Jonas could say anything else, or a response from Joker could be had the lights in the dreadnought Blackbird dimmed to a low red and were soon followed by the unmistakable klaxon sound of an emergency siren, Jonas knew that they had know doubt noticed their escape.

Their escape had been discovered and faster than usual. “Shit!” Joker exclaimed, clenching his fist. “I know you want to save your friend, but for no getting control of this ship is more important. We know he's on here, we can look for him along the way.” Joker cared little for the other man and had no idea where he was being captive, but since he hadn't felt the ship land since Jonas was put into the cell so the man must be on the ship somewhere, “I'm heading for the bridge. Either follow me and look on the way or look while I get control.” Joker felt their was hope for an escape and wouldn't jeapordize the change. \
