Author's Note: Hey guys! I had an idea for a story about the dragons while browsing through some Natsu and Lucy fan fiction. I was browsing through the names and happened to stop at Metalicana's name. I was thinking about why his name was in there, and decided to see if Grandine and Igneel were in there also, which they were.
So I thought, "Hey, why not make a story about the dragons? I mean, I hear the disappearance of the dragons from the Dragonslayers' view, but what if I did one based on the dragons' view?" And that's how this story started. I hope you enjoy it because I put a lot of hard work into this~!
Disclaimer: Yes, I admit it… I am… NOT Hiro Mashima! We all wish we were though :D
The Day We Disappeared
Chapter One:
Igneel's Point of View
"Grandine… Grandine, hang in there!" I yelled as I heard her painful cries for the millionth time that day. It had been months-no. Today, July 7, X777, makes it a year-since we had been snatched away from our foster children and imprisoned here in this hellish place. I do not understand why the humans would even do such a thing! We have never been a hindrance to their race, and we never bother them, so why did they lock us up?
"I'm… I'm okay, Igneel," Grandine panted out. I looked to the front of my cage and saw some humans walking away from Grandine's cell laughing, probably laughing about her pain. I growled at them as they walked past.
"Oh look, the big bad dragon is sticking up for his girlfriend," one of them cackled.
Aww, that's so sweet," The other one said. They both laughed their heads off, thinking it was the funniest thing in the world. I felt my anger rise and strode to the front of my cage.
"Uh-oh, here comes the dragon!" Guard #1 said. I came close enough to the bars that my snout was sticking out. "Roar of the-"
"Don't do it, Igneel!" said the gruff voice of Metalicana. I turned to face him, anger still coursing through my veins. "You'll endanger us all if you kill at least ONE of them!"
Metalicana was right. If one of them died because of us Dragons, we would all be in danger of never leaving-or worse. I took deep breaths and released all of my anger.
"You're right, but we need to get out of here. I'm worried about Natsu," I told Metalicana. He sighed and I knew he was thinking about Gajeel. The one thing that kept us going and gave us hope was talking about our foster children. Tonight it was Terra's turn. Terra was the Earth Dragon, and all I know about her foster child is that it's a girl and her name is Roxie.
I wanted us to talk about a way to escape before we told the tales. So, when the human guards fell asleep (because they always did), I cleared my throat and said, "Before we begin with Terra's tale of how she trained Roxie, I would like to discus a way to escape." There was a rumble of agreeing roars heard throughout the prison, and I waited until they died down before continuing on.
"We need to find a way to escape, and I think through our combined Dragon powers, we could make it out," I said. I pointed a claw at Astra and said, "Astra, you're the Psychic Dragon, so do you think you can read the minds of humans and figure out the map of the place?"
"I can try," she replied in her soft voice. I continued on and pointed my claw next at Lumin.
"Can you blind the humans while Grandine, Metalicana, Aquamarine, Terra, and I make the escape hole?" I inquired. "Make it seem like the light bulbs are losing their life, so they won't get suspicious."
"Of course, dude! I'm like, the hero, so the hero has to save the day!" Lumin replied in his cheerful voice. At least he's optimistic… I thought.
"I'm also gonna put a cloaking spell on the hole so the humans won't be able to see it. We'll be able to though," I told the Dragons, knowing some of them wouldn't be able to find it.
Moving on, I pointed to Nebula. "You're the last part. While we're escaping, cast a spell to make it too dark for the humans to see. That way, they can't follow us."
Nebula responded in a different tone than her usually tinged with sadness voice. "Yeah, I think that would work." I heard her back story. The only thing that gave her happiness was Nova, her foster child. Having a chance to see her again gave her hope, and put a new light in her world.
Satisfied with the parts in place, I told them of how we would do it. "Okay, this is what we'll do…"
Author's Note: BOOYAH~! I borrowed a mouse, and I was able to put up TWO new stories AND a new chapter of Trapped in the Labyrinth! I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. The only problem is that now I have to post a chapter for THREE different stories. It shouldn't be too hard… right?
