Part 3:

With a calm mind, I drew upon my ice powers again. I didn't actually think my actions through, but my adrenaline and instincts kicked in. I cast a white frost straight over the lava pouring down into our path. The lava froze solid.

Without thinking much more, I had me and my electric companion run over the newly cooled lava before it melted again. It scorched our feet again, but we got through.

The fire girl tried again to stop us with lava, but her method wouldn't work the second time. I simply froze the oncoming lava again, this time with a bit more thought and precision. That worked equally well, and we carried past the frozen lava and up through the passageway.

But the fire girl wouldn't bank on a "third time lucky". Knowing the futility of her previous attack, she decided to try a different approach.

This time, she pulled up another lava geyser, but directly below the pathway. The force of her lava geyser broke a gap in the pathway. We'd have to jump across.

And for the first gap she made, we easily cleared that one with our raw strength. The fiery girl made more gaps with her lava geysers, each wider than the last. But these gaps could not stop us as we used the recoil of our normal attacks to propel ourselves across every time, even if it was just barely done.

While we were running up the inside of the volcano to stay alive, we continued to make occasional chip attacks on the winged girl. None of my attacks actually made it through her defenses; she shot down my ice shards with fireballs of her own, and some of the more powerful attacks were stopped by lava geysers. However, some of my companion's lightning attacks managed to connect, but it didn't seem like we actually did any lasting damage in the fight.

The fire girl then proceeded to unleash one massive assortment of lava geysers on the side of the volcano opposite to us. It destroyed a massive portion of the pathway up the volcano, creating a gap at least twice as long as the longest ones we'd cleared earlier.

"Dead end," said the fire girl.
