Suddenly, from behind one of the mounds of treasure, the cubecat leapt out at the gang. In its tail, it held a large club adorned with bearly-inpractically large spikes that looked good for penetrating flesh. The creature ran toward Ailm, Damon, and Aaera club-first.
"Oh," said Ailm stupidly. "There's the cat."

In the space of a second, Damon considered and then decided against tripping Ailm and leaving. He would have used the next second to wonder about that decision, but there wasn't time to do so. Instead, he charged at the Cubecat, but dropped low and swerved at the last possible moment, wrapping around behind and violently tripping it with his tail the way he would have done to Ailm if that half-second of thought had turned out any differently.

Aaera leapt immediately onto the cat's back, wrapping her arms around its neck in a struggle to hold on. She began speaking in a combination of meowing and hissing. The cat suddenly looked very confused, although it kept fighting with some hesitation.

Damon used his tail to wrap around the club's handle in the cat's grip, which limited its movement somewhat but could not completely stop it.

Aaera tickles the cat behind its foreleg, making its balance waver.

Ailm closes his eyes to focus on the small currents of air flowing throughout the cavern.

'Hm... it looks like they've got this under control. But...' Kohaku sighed and reluctantly shouted at those attacking the cat, "Yo! Anything I should do or do you guys have this under control?"

"Anything you could do would help, but I think we've got it," Aaera replies.

Damon said nothing. He really didn't have anything to say when he was trying to control an insane club being held by a cat. He was doing quite well, too, if he thought it himself, considering his lack of magic.

Ailm opened his eyes and mouth to reply, but shut them again quickly when he began to lose focus on the wind.

"Okay, then..." She decided the most helpful thing she could do would be to immobilize the cat. "Lightning Release: Four Pillar Bind!" She decided to use the cave walls as the pillars of the bind, but instead of lightning, small cylinders of stone began to protrude from the walls. "Wait wait wait. Hold up. That's not exactly what should be happening." 'Probably should have checked this out beforehand," she thought, releasing the jutsu and letting the stones fall.

"Magic is different here," Aaera told her helpfully. She then set the fur of the very tip of the cat's tail on fire, except it was a fire that didn't burn. It just crackled without hurting. "When he sees it, he'll probably flip out."

"Ah, yes, that happened to most of us," Damon said in a strained voice. "Before we came here, I could have just sliced this cat in half, but..." he tried and failed to bend the cat's tail into an awkward position that might break it, though he succeeded in getting it into the cat's vision, "...here we are."

It was enough, however, to make the cat turn around. It immediately noticed it's flaming tail and rolled onto his back, swinging it frantically.

"Oh." Kohaku said weakly, lacking a better response. "I guess it would be better if I just sit this one out, then." She muttered as she leaned against a cave wall and slowly drifted off to sleep(Although it's quite hard to sleep with a flaming cat rolling around).

Damon's weight severely limited the rolling. Until he was flung off, that is. He just lay on the ground to the side for a minute, expression blank, contemplating his reasoning in helping them at all. It also gave him time to reflect on not trying to leave Ailm to die.

Finally, Ailm was ready. He channeled all the small gusts and drafts flowing in, out, around the tunnel into a stron steady stream of air focused directly at the cubecat, forcing the small creature against the wall. "You guys should probably hurry," Ailm said, collapsing. "Won't last more than a minute or two."

"We're not coordinated at all," Damon mumbled, not moving.

Aaera was squished for a moment by the rolling cube cat; then she stood up dizzily. She cursed to herself. "Having TWO things limiting my power really sucks."

"Yeah..." Ailm muttered. "We could probably do with some... team... training..." This was followed by a series of loud snores.
