"What's that?"
The mountain was shaking violently, and from not far above, a large chunk of mountain started falling.
"Shit! Run!"
The three made a mad dash for the side, and the falling part of the mountain tore off a large chunk of plateau.
"I don't think it's done."
"What? Why?"
"The mountain is still shaking."
The plateau they stood on started cracking from where it was broken off. From above, yet more boulders of the mountain continued to fall.
"We've got to find a safe place! It's like the entire mountain is collapsing!"
Almost right upon saying that, another boulder hit the plateau, knocking a large chunk of it out. The cracks split out to right underneath Gadget. "That was close! Let's get-" and it collapsed underneath him.
"Gadget! Cobra, you've got to help him! I can't do anything!"
Gadget looked down, while hanging on to the ledge. The fog was getting dangerously close. He wouldn't be able to hold on for very long, but he didn't need to, because Cobra easily grabbed him and pulled him up onto the now rather minuscule plateau. Moving to the other side of the mountain, the three found a relatively safe position, where the falling boulders passed by them with no incident. They all took a moment to catch their breath.
"Hey, wasn't the top a lot further away before?"
Indeed, they found that at this point, the top was no more than a few feet above their heads. The climb was very easy from there on.
"I think... we're finally safe. Or at least I hope. If a sizable portion of the mountain came off, true safety might not be possible any more. However this works, we're as safe as we're going to be."
He laid down. For a while, he could rest.
