Tatsuo was caught off guard when Miya clung to his back. It caused him to spit out the pebbles in his mouth, and drop the rock he was eating. "Get off me you weirdo!" He growled at her as he tried to pry her off of him. "What did I tell you about being chipper yesterday!" He groaned as he pulled on his coat to adjust it. He raised an eyebrow at Miya as she went on about what would have happened if he would have punched Rin. "Yeah....I did it on a Vulcan once, it was nasty." He said rather hesitantly.
Tatsuo rubbed the back of his head, and then glanced over at Aria who was downing some kind of pill. He raised a eyebrow at this but didn't say anything. It wasn't any of his business. Well so long as it didn't cause her to get in his way.

As they followed the directions to the mountain clearing, and were 'ambushed' by the Goblins Tatsuo rolled his eyes. "These are the Goblins? Come on! At least give them a less intimidating name....like...uh Fluffernutters.....or uh....I don't know, I'm not good with coming up with names on the spot." He sighed. Tatsuo then cracked his fingers, and rolled his head on his shoulders. "Shouldn't take but five minutes....EARTH DRAGON DIA-" Before Tatsuo could finish his casting he was interrupted by Aria.
Tatsuo rolled his eyes. "Whatever, waste of my energy anyways." He muttered as he placed his hands in his pockets, and walked away to 'search' for Dyandin. He briefly looked back at Aria as she used her magic, interested in seeing it. It was a strange sort of magic at that. He's never seen any like it before. As he unenthusiastically walked around to look fake looking for Dyandin.
Once he neared the cave that Rin inside he stopped however. Tatsuo began sniffing the air surrounding the cave. "Is that....." His eyes then widened at the realization at what it was. It was a familiar smell to him, it was a Wyvern. Tatsuo has crossed paths with such a beast in the past, due to taking jobs where people mistake it for a dragon. The thing might not be a dragon but it was still a nasty creature. "Aria, Miya get out of here now!" He ordered without telling them what was up. He then rushed forward into the cave.
"EARTH DRAGON DIAMOND FIST!" Tatsuo shouted as his left arm became covered in earth. Tatsuo then leaped over Rin, an unconscious Dyandin, and a....large chicken. Ok. He landed a earth shattering blow to the beast's forehead, forcing it back a little bit. As Tatsuo landed back on the ground the Wyvern roared at him, and swung it's large tail at the Dragon Slayer, pinning him to the cave wall. Tatsuo growled at it, and pulled the tail up a bit, and sunk his teeth into it like an animal. It screeched it in pain as it hurled Tatsuo away.
"EARTH DRAGON SCALES!" He shouted as his body was covered in an earth armor. Tatsuo then leaped back at the beast, clinching onto it's neck, and wrestling it into the wall. As they went back and forth the cave began shaking, and rocks began tumbling down from the ceiling. Tatsuo returned to the ground, and noticed this. "Dammit! Get him out of here! I need more room to fight this thing or the whole damn mountain will come crashing down on us!" He ordered. "EARTH DRAGON WING SHIELD!" He then slammed his fists into the ground, and a large wall made of earth shot up from the ground, blocking the Wyvern from them.
On the other side the Wyvern began slamming into the wall, and with each hit it began to crack. Tatsuo snapped back up, and his rock armor fell off his body. "That won't hold for long! We need to get out of here before the entire cave collapses!" He stated. He then grabbed the back of Dyandin, and threw him over his shoulder. "God, why the hell am I risking my skin for this jerk?" He muttered to himself.
