The Twilight Storm Rivalry

Chapter 1 – Leaving For Maui

It was a fine morning in the city of Honolulu. Cynder and her friends were getting ready to continue their Hawaiian Island Challenge after learning from Blaze that their next port of call will be the island of Maui. Before they could leave for the next island, they have to meet Captain Akoni for he has yet to show them how to use the Z-Ring and the Z-Crystals.

"Be sure to come back to the Hawaii Kai after you finished your appointment with Captain Akoni!" called Blaze.

"No worries, Blaze!" called Cynder. "It shouldn't take too long!"

The dragons arrived at Pearl Harbour where they saw Captain Akoni standing on the pier waiting for them.

"Good to see you all again," said Captain Akoni. "So, I take it you'll be heading for Maui Island next, am I right?"

"That's right," replied Cynder. "What will we be tackling once we reach that island?"

Captain Akoni smiled. "Well, there are two trials in Maui, and they're going to be much tougher than what you went through yesterday."

"I can imagine that," remarked Percival.

Torden was delighted to hear about the challenges that await them in Maui Island. "This will be something I am totally looking forward to," he said, eagerly.

Captain Akoni nodded, feeling very pleased with the positive attitude of the dragons. "Anyway, I think it is time I show you all how to use the Z-Ring," he said.

"Yes, please show us," said the dragons.

"The first thing you have to do is focus very hard, and then you do a certain pose, like this," replied Captain Akoni as he assumed a type of stance. "By doing all that correctly, you will be unleash the Z-Power within yourself, got it?"

"Yeah, we totally got it," said Torden.

"Good, very good," said Captain Akoni. "There's a catch, though, only certain types of species can be able to make use of Z-Power."

"What do you mean by that?" asked Cynder.

Captain Akoni pondered deeply. "How can I be able to explain it correctly? Ah! Well, I can tell that Draco right there is a Charizard, so therefore, he is capable of using Z-Power."

"What? Me?" gasped Draco in shock. "That is a bit too much pressure for me to handle right now, and all the same, my element is Fire, so I don't think the Darkium Z would really help me."

"Do not worry too much about that, Draco," said Captain Akoni. "There is a Z-Crystal that is more compatible for you, but of course, it's a bit of a long way to go."

"I guess we're going to be in for quite an adventure," said Percival.

"Right, you are," said Captain Akoni. "And I want you all to continue giving it your best as you visit the next islands. I know you all can do it!"

"We'll do it!" declared the dragons.

Cynder and her friends returned to Hawaii Kai where they could see Tails and Blaze standing by the Tornado. They were very pleased to see them back again.

"So, how did it go?" asked Blaze.

"It went rather well," replied Cynder. "We just learned how we can be able to make use of the Z-Power."

"Anything else you learned?"

"Well, we just learned that only certain classes of species can have access to Z-Power," said Draco. "And so far, I learned that my species is one of them."

"If that's the case, then perhaps I might be able to use Z-Power," said Jakkin. "I can be able to manipulate my genetic makeup to match that of a Charizard through shapeshifting, you know."

Tails thought deeply about what he just heard. "Hey, can I take a look at the Z-Crystal?" he asked. "I really want to do some tests on it."

"What for?" wondered Percival.

"For finding out what is it about these crystals that make them compatible to only the certain species," said Tails. "As a scientist, I must research and discover new findings that could help us learn something more unsolved mysteries behind all of Earth's inhabitants!"

"Heh, sounds like you have quite a passion for this stuff," said Bowser. "It really makes me wonder what sort of things can be discovered of the inhabitants from the world I came from."

"I wish I could be able to learn more about mythical creatures from far off dimensions, but that isn't my specialty," said Tails, sadly. "At least Blaze may know something since she's into that kind of stuff."

"Do not worry, Bowser," said Blaze. "As Cynder's group continue their Island Challenge, we might stumble across something of interest."

"I sure hope so," said Bowser.

"Enough talking," said Torden, impatiently. "Aren't we going to head for the next island? I want to take on the next challenge right now!"

Tails frowned. "Alright, we're going!"

"Maui Island, here we come!" said Lily, excitedly. "I'm looking forward to seeing what new surprises and fun awaits us!"

"Trust me on this, Lily," said Blaze as she boarded the Tornado with Bowser and Tails. "You'll be seeing more beaches to explore and more cities to check out."

"Just one more thing, you guys," said Tails as he started up the plane. "You won't have to worry about using the Transporter Device since Maui Island is not very far from here."

"Really?" asked Draco.

"I guess that saves us a lot of trouble of having to set up the machine," said Darky as he climbed on Draco's back.

"We'll still be doing our Island Challenge, Darky, so you better stick with Tails and Blaze while we're taking on the next trial," said Cynder.

"Alright, then," said Darky.

So the dragons readied themselves and lifted off the ground as soon as the Tornado took. Together, they flew straight for Maui Island, but they were unaware that a mysterious young dragon girl was watching them from afar. As the group flew for the next island, the dragon followed them, smirking as she thought over a dark and dangerous plan.

Author's Note: Uh-oh, we now have a mystery menace, and it looks as if she has her sights set on our heroes! Could she be another enemy? The next chapter shall reveal all!
