"Interesting"
Krystell opened a portal in front of the two whales that led to Omega Alpha 7-3. They were too big to swim out of the way and swam straight into a sizzling death.
She turned toward H'taed and flew off in his direction. She was going to get the device and get out of here before some other freak of nature tried to kill her.

And as sh flew forward...She ran directly into the next creature.
This one was completely transparent, making it nearly undetectable in the mists. It was a flat sheet of sentient jelly, stretching like a net for several miles. In function, it was like a spider-web, and in design, it was like a jelly fish.
It caught prey as it strayed into it, and latched on with its goopy and grimy hold. After the first few seconds of actual contact with the creature, the caught subject would be envenomed with various poisons meant to petrify, stun, disorient, and completely stupidify the target, while applying its own form of electro-shock thearpy. Then it would draw the said prey to the center of its mass, and digest it over the course of several years. It had no oragans, the entire thing was just an endless mass of sentient goo with unique properties.
And Krystell had just flown head-long into it. The gooy mass quickly grabbed hold of her.
In a few seconds, it would proceed to envenow her with enough poisons and venoms to knock Statesman himself out, and the electroshock that followed would not be pleasent in the least. And if that happened...Well, Krystell wouldn't regain conciousness until after the digestion progress had begun, and she would die a thousand thousand deaths as she would be slowly eaten and digested alive.
If she didn't react quickly.
"Ugh, this place is NASTY! Aoleleb, get me out of this thing!"
A portal opened inside Krystell teleporting her past the jelly...thing.
It was obvious that getting to him the old fashioned way wouldn't work. Krystell opened a portal next to herself and stepped through.
She landed right in front of H'taed. Her sword was poised to strike.
"I've burned 2 whales to oblivion, got trapped in a jelly thing, and my hair is ruined! You're gonna pay for this H'taed!"
"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." - John Wayne
Lord H'taed turned around, device still in hand.
"I have two words for you."
He paused.
"Transmission ended."
And with that, the image of Lord H'taed faded, his flickering form laughing maniacally.
The device, however, was still there on the platform...
Until something happened to it.
A giant shadow formed on the floor. It grew...and the device sank into it. The shadow then seemed to turn into Liquid form, and it rose slowly, tendril by tendril, to form...
A dragon.
Complete with a win gspan of over 50 fgeet, not to mention 50 feet tall, several horns and spines grew from the thing's back, along with several car sized razor sharp claws growing from its massive hands. A long curved and spiked tail grew from behind, and its head...
Two red glowing embers were its eyes, and a mouth filled with jagged teeth that dripped with poison opened.
'You want that device? You can have it. After you work past one of my master's little pets.' Echoed Lord H'taed's voice in her head.
And a force field made of energy slowly domed over the entire platform, trapping her and the dragon in the space.
*Info
The platform in a mile wide and high.
"Oh man, this is so not my day."
Krystell put her sword back in her Pocket. It wasn't going to be any use at all aginst this monstrosity. She conjured a ball of energy in ech of her hands and threw them at the dragon.
"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." - John Wayne
The bolt flew at the dragon, soaring straight for its chest...
And suddenly the dragon's chest seemed to recoil and throb, and it split away into thousands of little black tendrisl, which parted...
And the bolt of energy sailed right through the new gap in the dragon's chest, and dissapated against the energy field.
The tendrils closed in again, sealing the dragon's chest.
The giant monstrosity roared, and unleashed its attack. Pure negative energy rolled out of its mouth in an endless torret, heading straight for Krystell.
((Damn you people post fast <.< in the amount of time its taken you two to get this far, I've made like two different posts XD))
There wasn't much of a reaction to the disappearance. Her arms crossed and she was gone.
And she was there. Just outside the forcefield dome. A moment of inspection and her right arm stretched out, a single finger tapping the outside of the dome. A small reaction, and a hole large enough for her to pass through, rimmed by a rippling pinkish energy, formed extending from the point she had touched. Through that she floated and to the ground, touching lightly. A slow, almost bored walk followed, heading towards the two figures battling.
"Would you like help?" She called, arms crossed a little distance away. She seemed to ignore that any attacks were being thrown at the moment.

Krystell waited until the last second...and then dissapeared!
She reappeared behind the dragon and threw two more energies balls at it. After they had left her hand, she teleported to the the dragon's right and did the same thing. Then she did it on his left, and he had 6 balls of energy flying at him.

Alex shrugged and continued her walk around the edge of the fight, simply watching and looking a bit amused at times. She wouldn't interfere unless asked, or this woman was in mortal danger. Merely watching was enough entertainment for the moment.

And for all six balls of energy...
the same thing happened. The dragon's flesh parted before the balls of energy ever even reached it, tendrils wavering...
the balls all passed through these new gaps...
Then collided in the center of the dragon, forming one large ball of energy.
Then all the gaps closed up again.
The dragon opened its mouth again, and the huge energy ball was suddenly there...aimed right at Krystell.
It was shot forward like a cannonball, heading right for her.
"Well that didn't work."
Krystell dissapeared again and reappeared next to Alex.
"If you want to help, be my guest."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out her sword and a shield. She channeled a beam of light down the sword and shot it at the dragon.

where did Alex come from?))

((Last page, a few posts from the bottom :P She just appeared. She isn't elegant in her movements like Syne was, she's very deliberate.
I should mention that Alex IS using the full power of the Keepers, meaning she's uses more than just the time stream, and not pulling any punches at all. Keepers manipulate the very base of reality, and everything inside it, when they need to. Most don't use this much power because it can seriously damage the time stream, but every Keeper learns from the previous ones everything they knew. Syne was the most masterful in the history of Keepers in modifying the time stream, and as such Alex now has that information. Syne was confident she could repair damages she might make, but was hesitant to use those abilities. Alex is not, being a rebel in her own right. Just be ready for what's easily described as wormholes, things disappearing or appearing when and where they shouldn't, and other crazy things. She has no problem ripping the time stream a new one :P))
Alex nodded and raised a hand, and the ball of energy stopped in its tracks before hitting the field. She moved her hand through the air, guiding the ball up and above the dragon. She then slammed her hand down, intending on shooting the ball into and through the dragon with massive force at the same time as the blast of energy from Krystell's sword.

(gawd! so much cross posting! I need to edit!))
The same thing happened again. The dragon's flesh parted to allow both attacks to pass through it harmlessly...without ever even touching the beast. The flesh reformed...
And the beast let out a massive roar, and spread its wings. It started to flap them...
and two massive tornadoes formed from the wind. they both raced forward, intent on ripping the two smaller beings to pieces. The dragon then breathed more negative energy into the tornadoes, making them wrathful incarnations of swirling DEATH!!! (hehehe)
((GAH CROSS POSTING! XD))
And the tornadoes stopped. Merely stopped in their tracks, still spinning but going nowhere. Alex's piercing stare was directed towards the dragon now, the energy ball rising again and moving towards them.
"You're a fun little creature, aren't you."
Of course little. She had seen much larger things in the billions of years and lives she had lived all in that short amount of time during her rebirth. Much more dangerous than this creature. Much more deadly.
"And do you know what happens to the smaller creatures?"
The energy ball floating over the dragon expanded, growing to a size almost twice in width as the dragon itself.

((Stop. One, Alex stopped the movement of the ball and reversed it. Second, you said the field is a mile wide and high. How big is this dragon exactly? It would have to be a thousand feet in length for the ball to touch the field))

Suddenly the severed head of the whale snapped at her, its bus suzed teeth barely missing her.
Then she saw...
The body she had cut the head from had regrown a new head.
And the severed head had grown a new body. Now she had two of these strange whales after her.
