The Growing Tempest (IH Members Only)

Alye was the one chosen to take command.  While Zork doesn't know these people well enough, she seemed to be one of the more respected members in the guild.  From what he gathered, she was the highest ranking among their little rag-tag group so it only made sense that she was the one that assumed command of this little expedition/extermination brigade.  A smile was written upon Zork's face before Alye went into high alert.  Drawing out his ancestral and holding it in both hands, Zork turned towards the source of the danger.  

Narrowing his eyes at the three strangers coming out of the woods, he gripped his weapon even tighter until Alye stood down, recognizing these people.  Allies?  The Ancestral Sword was lowered and eventually resheathed on his back.  Everyone was introduced leaving Zork as the final one.  A descriptor was given after-the-fact that he wasn't a frog.  "Damn right, I'm not a frog!  Ribbit!" he said with the 3 strangers looking at one another.  One of them let out a "kero".

Here it comes!  The plan!  Alye turned to the group and began to divvy up the jobs.  While everyone else was given command of their own Kaze Ninja units, Zork was with the leaders of both factions and their plan was to drain the lake due to the fact that their enemies resided under the lake.  This caused Zork to recoil slightly when he heard about the daunting task that he was told to perform.  Drain an entire lake to expose the enemy base?  That's a tall order, but it was an order none-the-less.  A drop of sweat came from the frog's head as he heard the command.  Zork simply nodded to Alye's plan.  

A plan already formulated in Zork's mind of how he's going to do it.  If he wanted to drain this lake, he's going to need to make a deep underwater reservoir.  Remembering the direction of the lake, Zork jumped up into the air only to touch the ground head-first and started to dig.  The hole in the ground was large enough for Alye and Sakura to climb through.  Unfortunately for them, the hole would grow to be extremely dark and could potentially lead to direct plummets downward.  Zork continued to dig through the dirt in the direction of the lake while making a slow descent towards the lake, accommodating for the lake's depth.  When he found himself under the lake, detected by the dampness of the soil he was trudging through, he dug straight down about 50 meters.  It was here that he started to carve out a huge cavity.  However, to create a cavity large enough to consume a lake would take quite some time.

Enough time for the land-based soldiers and members of the Infinity Hydra to begin their plotting.  Every now and then, Zork took a breather.  Digging out a lake-sized hole does take time and exerts a lot of energy.  There was no way he'd be able to break in after draining the water.  Though, he was capable of digging up to the floor of their garrison up to any man-made structures.  Unfortunately, he wasn't capable of digging through man-made structures; only completely natural structures and ground was at his mercy.  In all actuality, digging straight into the middle of their compound would actually be a strategic point of entry; albeit that only a few people could sneak in due to the cramped space.  But he'll devise that route sometime after digging this enormous cavity.  

But one question should come to mind, however, while Zork is digging this hole.  Where does all of the dirt he pushes out of the way go to?  Questions for later, don't doubt his magic skills!
