DRAGON HEROES
Another adventure is at hand for Cynder and her friends as their quest to find the last Elemental Brooch continues! This should be an enjoyable one too.
Let There Be Light!
Chapter 1 – An Unusual Task
Blaze the Cat watched the morning sun rise while she waited patiently for Cynder to come to her. The mountains of China were a beautiful sight in the morning, and it was nearly time for breakfast.
"Since they're still here, I think they should be able to move to their next destination," she mused. "They've done so well working together, and now is the time that they set up something proper rather than camping in random places or resting at different hotels every night."
After a short while of waiting, Blaze sensed Cynder coming towards her. She was very pleased that her dragon pupil had come at the exact time she expected.
"Here I am, Blaze, just in time," said Cynder.
"Very good, Cynder," smiled Blaze. "I always knew that you could never let me down."
"I just try to do my very best," said Cynder modestly.
Blaze looked over again to the horizon. "The view looks beautiful, doesn't it?" she asked.
"Yeah, it sure is," agreed Cynder. She then remembered what she came to Blaze for. "So what is it you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Well, Cynder," replied Blaze. "I have seen that you and your friends are getting the hang of teamwork, and that is something I am pleased to see."
"We're almost getting there," said Cynder. "It's only a matter of time until we fully are a team."
"In that case, there's a task I would like you and your group to do," said Blaze. "This can be done before finding the last Elemental Brooch."
Cynder was surprised that there's another task to follow. "What is that?" she asked.
"I would like you to start a village," said Blaze. "Not any kind of village, just a small village for you and your teammates to reside in."
"This sounds quite like a large task, Blaze," said Cynder. "I mean, none of us really know how to build structures."
"You'll be getting some assistance when you get to it," said Blaze. "Tails knows how to build huts, so once you have found your ideal location, just let him know through your Holo Caster so he can come by to get things started."
"Very well then," said Cynder. "My group shall find the perfect spot. Whereabouts do you suggest exactly?"
"Maybe one of forests in Japan would suffice," smiled Blaze. "They're beautiful, calm, peaceful, and you'll have access to many places I know you and your team will find very interesting."
"Did you say Japan?" asked Cynder.
"Yes, indeed," said Blaze. "Not to mention that it will be wise to keep your village in someplace reclusive so the Obsidian Devourers won't be able to detect your presence."
"That sounds like very good idea!" exclaimed Cynder. "Draco and Darky have always wanted to see what Japan is like."
"Is that right?" asked Blaze. "Well, that means that they will finally have their wish."
"You are absolutely right about that," said Cynder.
Blaze nodded with her, knowing that as a fact. "It must be time for breakfast now," she said. "Come on, Cynder, let's head back to camp."
Cynder followed Blaze back where her friends are. She was looking to telling Draco and Darky the good news that they will be setting up a settlement in Japan, being very sure that they will be excited to hear that.
After a rousing breakfast, it was time for everyone to go their own paths. As Cynder's friends grouped themselves together, ready to continue their journey, Cynder checked on Starfire to make sure she, Zippy, and Salem will be fine on their own, now that they formed their own team and called themselves the Daring Dragon Dynamos.
"Don't worry, Cynder," assured Starfire. "As long as we stick together, nothing bad will happen to us."
"I'm only just looking out for you, Starfire," said Cynder. "After all, you're my little sister. We've been through tough times back when we were kids, so I still worry for your safety."
"Yes, I know, I've remembered losing our parents back then," replied Starfire. "But we're adults, right?"
"Indeed, we are," said Cynder. "That means you're in charge of Zippy and Salem, and you must make sure they stay in line, since we don't want them to be kidnapped by the Obsidian Devourers again."
"They'll be fine under my care, Cynder," promised Starfire. "You have my word."
"Good," said Cynder with seriousness. "All I can say now is that I hope you, Zippy and Salem will stay safe on your adventures, and may you three do your very best."
Starfire nodded in agreement. "I love you, Cynder," she said as she placed her paw on her big sister's.
"I love you too, Starfire," said Cynder. She smiled for a bit as she held her sister's paw. Then, as they parted, Cynder watched Starfire join her two team members.
"Are we ready to go now, Starfire?" asked Zippy eagerly.
"Of course, we are," replied Starfire. "Now, stand back as I activate our Transporter Device."
Starfire took out her Transporter Device capsule, clicked on the lid on its top, and then tossed it to the ground. The impact made the capsule burst out a fog cloud, which dissipated shortly as it revealed a huge machine with buttons and a metallic pad that could fit in a small group of people, just like Cynder's.
"Where to now?" asked Salem.
"First, we'll be going to Norway," said Starfire. "There are some things I need to settle with Queen Ibenholt. Step on the pad, guys."
Zippy and Salem did as they are told. Starfire set the destination and as she joined her teammates, she pushed the activation button. The Transporter Device made loud whirring noises, and following some rapid flashes, it vanished with the Dynamos.
"I'm sure they'll be alright, Cynder," said Percival.
"I sure hope so," replied Cynder.
"Well, I guess it's time I leave you guys to your next agenda," said Blaze. "I better get things ready for my Dragon Training classes and to inform Tails that Starfire's group have received their Transporter Device."
"Okay, Blaze," said Cynder. "Thank you very much for spending time with us. I hope we'll see each other again soon."
"I guarantee that we will," smiled Blaze. "All of the best of luck, and Cynder, may the Force be with you."
Cynder chuckled. "May the Force be with you too, Blaze," she said.
With the last handshake, Blaze made her down the mountains. Everyone waved at her until she was out of sight.
"Now that there's only the seven of us," began Draco. "What's our next stop?"
"You'll never believe this, Draco, but Blaze has given us a task that you'll be very happy to hear of," Cynder told her Charizard friend. "We are to establish a settlement somewhere in Japan."
Draco was very stunned. "Japan?" he asked. "Are you serious?"
"Absolutely," smiled Cynder.
Draco and Darky could feel the sudden urge to jump with joy, but they were able to contain themselves that all they could do is grin. "This will definitely be a treat, sis!" exclaimed Darky.
Cynder took out her Transporter Device capsule, and did the same as Starfire did earlier on. "Everyone ready?" she called.
"Yes, we are!" exclaimed the other dragons.
So Cynder set the destination to Japan, and joined the rest of her group after she pressed the activation. The machine whirred loudly and flashed repeatedly before disappearing with them on board.
