The short skirmish between Night Steel and the Orcs had lasted all too briefly for the Young Ones to do anything about it. However, they did notice the huge crack in the wall and the steam coming out of it. As Oouga tried to tell them what was happening to the wall, Diana asked somewhat uncertainly, "Open the wall? With my javelin? But why?""And he wants me to use my shield to stop the pain? What pain? Presto, do you have any idea with the Hunchback of Notre Dame here is talking about?" inquired Eric totally confused.
"You got me, Eric," replied the Magician, "But it seems to me that Oouga wants us to open up the wall where that steam is coming from and for you to use your shield. I think?"
Setting down her end of the stretcher, the Acrobat extended her javelin and did as Oouga instructed, still more than a little confused by what their newest companion was trying to tell them. Eric joined her as well, and activated his shield waiting to see what would happen.
