"Captain, they are climbing up!"
"Fire only when they get closer; we do not have as many bullets as the machine gun squad to spare!"
Cat's Claw found a suitable roosting location and raised his Van'er rifle. While waiting for the enemies, he kept an eye on the position of the floating island. He was unsure if it he was seeing things, but the floating island appeared to rise in altitude. Previously he could barely make out the edges of the island, but all he could see now was the craggy bottom.
But one thing was for sure, the floating island had taken this period of time to close in on the Impassable Mountain Range and its gigantic shadow had covered a corner of the mountains. Upon thinking about the probability of them having to fight under its shadow, Cat's Claw felt stifled, as though a heavy rock was crushing his back.
We have to get rid of those damned demons and leave this mountain before the floating island arrives.
