The miners on the surface started doing exactly that... As Koikihane tunnelled, the miners tried to clear the thrown dirt away from the entrance so that it wouldn't fall back in behind the bird the deeper got...
Several miles down, Yuki found what he was looking for... A spot to cross over not too far from the minners... He wouldn't have much room to move, but he could at least communicate with them, and reassure them that help was coming...

Sweat began to bead down Blink's face and took a deeper breathe. His breathing became ragged as he poured more into his jutsu. The boulders crumbled faster and faster, the ones which were dirt started to beome dust...

It wouldn't take much longer now. Able to put his wings into the action with such soft material, Koikihane was tunneling like an electric drill through butter...
"Kid, I don't know what you're doing... but you're going to make that whole mountain come down on top of them if you're not careful," one of the miners who lingered around Blink said, watching the supports of the mine shaft wither and disappate as well....

Blink cracked an eye open, sweat was obsurring his view as he let off from the jutsu and fell to his knees, gasping for breathe.

Blink could hear a loud crash, and a great many screams. The miner beside him was right... The sides that had also turned to loose rock and dust gave way to the strain Koikihane was putting on them by his speed tunneling... It was a second collapse... Many people with shovels tried to go back and instantly begin again, but one person who seemed to be in charge stopped them.
"It's not safe... It'll just collapse again, and we'll never get to them in time now... I'm sorry, they belong to the earth now, the best we can do is say a prayer for them that it is not long or painful..."

Blink wheezed, he couldn't bring himself to stand yet but he didn't want them to stop. He was too exhausted to be able to do much more however. The only thing he could think of was manipulating time, and he couldn't think of how to use that effectively for this situation, he looked ot see if the hawk would still tunnel.

From underneathe the ground, where Koikihane now was from tunnelling down so far already, there was no sound.
Some of the town's people started to protest, but after a few seconds, realized the man was right, and there was now nothing they could do... Many of them started to cry, or cling to others. Some started to disperse to spread the news to the rest of the community...

Blink didn't care if he had to haul them out himself, he'd get them out. Preferably alive but his heart was sinking as he pushed himself to his feet. He couldn't stop time yet, let along reverse part of what happened...he'd have to work with what he had. He had a giant hawk...ok. That would have to do. He looked back to the swinging boulder and drained what he had left, this would be his first step in mixing jutsus. He did all he could to speed the hawk's actions up, while slowly time underneath the mine, giving those were still alive, if any, a little longer.

Even without Blink's help this time, time seemed to be crawling for everyone around. Some were still looking at Blink, knowing he was a ninja and just hoping he could do something... but nothing seemed to be happening, and many of the people didn't know what to do....

"Is...there a safer...entrance?" Blink weezed out. "They...need your...help..." he felt his body going weak but continued on. He prayed they were still okay.

Some people turned to look at Blink, wondering why he could say this, why he was so sure... and suddenly, their eyes lit up as if seeing a ghost... Or several ghosts in the distance behind Blink.... They were speechless, and most looked very frightened....

Blink felt his whole body shaking, he couldn't keep it up. He wanted to look behind him when he saw they reaction but couldn't without losing focus. "Ah!!" hi body eventually gave out on himself and he collapsed backwards.

Looking over top of his head backwards, he would see a large group of very dirty, very frightened, very relieved men standing on the surface, checking themselves to actually prove to themselves that they were alive. In the center of them all, was Yuki hunched over and panting from the job he just did. He wasn't quite as exhausted as Blink, but he was pretty done in... At least, it seemed that everyone had made it out safe, though the hawk was no where to be seen...

Blink was barely able to keep his eyes open. His vision went wavery and dark as his focus hazed in and out.

After a minute, Yuki and the miners came back over, they were swarmed by people, but Yuki avoided them all in the same way that he had gotten the miners to the surface, going straight for Blink. He collapsed beside the other genin and just laughed. "I don't know what you did up here, but that second colapse scared the shit out of me," he said splashing some ice cold water on Blink's face with one of his jutsus, trying to wake him up a bit...
