The massive beast turned into red energy and vanished into the ball.
(OOC: Caught yourself a giant 30' tall Lvl 75 Primal Groudon.)

"Good work everyone. we got a new team member." She said picking up the ball. "Come on. That Bomb Queen is not gonna hunt itself." She said leading onward.

"That it won't", Mai said with a smile.
They pressed forward, managing to advance a few more hundreds yards, only to be targeted by six more Bombs... including a blue one!
"Careful. That one won't be weak to the same elements as usual", Pyrrha warned. "I think it might be... lightning, if I recall correctly."

Stella shook her head. "Lightning's one magic I don't have. Still I'll take out the blue one while you all focus on the others."
She then broke into a baseball slide under the blue bomb before slashing upward with Masamune!
14 eff stones in CC +8 from Masamune to bisect the Bomb. (rolls a 10)
5 stones in Spd shifted to defense to run and baseball slide away from any attacks.

Exactly as planned... even without its elemental weakness in her arsenal, Stella downright bisected the unusual bomb into two halves which exploded behind her harmlessly as it was killed instantly!
Mana unleashed a Blizzaga spell, killing two of the remaining bombs moments later. However, before the group had enough time to kill the others, a third one threw itself at them and exploded immediately! Lucy had barely the time to cast a Shield spell to protect herself and some of the others, but both Inglis and Ai were hit, with the latter being knocked out! The former tanked the worst of it, but was still dazed.
Runa retaliated with her psychokinetic powers, immobilizing a bomb in a sphere of force, causing it to self-destruct harmlessly, while Pyrrha and Mai killed the last one together!
The girls were quickly assembled around Ai, with Naomi examining her closely. "...That was a pretty nasty blast. She's going to be okay, but I don't think she'll be able to fight for a while. I'll prepare some potions to help her recover."

"I see... Set up a defensive parameter." She ordered. "We'll rest for a bit until she recovers some."

"You got it", Mai said, as they quickly moved to secure the area while Lucy and Naomi took care of the unconscious dancer and bard.

Stella padded around to patrol, and make sure the area was safe until we know if the wounded girl can keep going or not.
4 stones in Int to patrol the area.

No other Bomb attacked for the time being, though the ground rumbled and shook a couple of times.
A short while later, Lucy and Naomi's healing successfully brough Ai back to her senses. "Hnnh..."
"Take it easy. You were hit pretty bad, but you're going to be okay", Lucy said calmly.
"...Okay. Taking it... easy."

"Can she keep going?" Stella asked padding back up to them. If the ground was painful under her feet she did not show it.

"She won't be able to use her powers for a few days, but she can move", Lucy said. "If she stays by my side, I will protect her with my spells, she will be fine."
"My potions will prevent any further complications. She's okay", Naomi said with confidence.

Unsurprisingly, she soon could see... well, nothing.
Until Mana used a spell which temporarily gave the group a vision of their surroundings akin to that of many undead; all in black, white and shades of grey; enough to discern objects, surroundings and creatures, but not colors, or, say, fine details such as reading a book. (OOC: No need to add it or anything, but you effectively have Enhanced Vision 5 (See in Darkness) for a few hours.
Using this ability, the group progressed quickly in the cave, with little threat but some bugs, pointy rocks here and there and a slightly disorienting layout, but eventually they made it to a much brighter gallery... illuminated by large flows of magma down at the bottom! On the elevated platform they were on, they could see several Bombs floating about... and a huge one glowing with inner fire and the occasional external flame as it went around the cave! The Queen Bomb.
