I am The Dragon Hero. Not many know about me, as I have a secret identity, like most super-heroes. My real name is Zach Alder, but my two friends and everyone else who knows my secret call me "The Dragon" or "Dragon" for short. I have two friends, Sara "Psychic" Billings and Noah "Dash" Cutlingham. "I shall start from thy beginning." as my history teacher says.
I was on a walk with my dog, Zeke, and then he suddenly burst out barking. Then the "Ultra-durable" leather leash broke and Zeke ran off to the right at an amazing speed. I ran off, too, looking for him. Unfortunately, I couldn't catch up, and I got lost. Later he returned to my house, but that's not important now. I walked for almost an hour when these guys from a secret facility deep in the forest, The Infinity, came and took me to their secret lab. They hooked me to a strange machine and turned it on. I was knocked out after a jolt of sharp pain.
When I woke up feeling woozy and my tail ached like heck. Wait, I have a tail? I thought I was crazy. Then I saw my two friends who had been missing for three days, and I realized I must be dreaming. Sara was struggling while strapped to a steel table on my right, and Noah was, and I couldn't believe my eyes, struggling too except at an unbelievable speed, like he had just drank 20 cokes and a candy bar! I knew I was dreaming. I had to be. I would not realize until later how absolutely, positively wrong I was.
When I finally looked at myself, I found that I was a dragon, a six-foot long, dark red, probably fire breathing dragon. I had wings, too. I realized that I would have a new life. I started missing being human. I thought about my mom and dad, and how they would miss me. I thought about my friends in school and in my neighborhood. Then, I thought about myself and my favorite past-times, and then something happened, I felt my body morphing and changing. Soon, I was myself again. Sara and Noah looked at me and said in unison, "Zach!" And I knew it was not a dream, it was too long. I told them about my being a dragon a moment ago, and Noah said, "I got speed. I'm like that superhero, Dash!" And Sara said, "I got psychic powers. Telepathy, telekinesis, mind reading, etc. All of 'em!"
A scientist came in and studied us. He frowned at me and said, "Failed..." then tightened my straps and walked out of the room. I knew what to do, try and change back into dragon form and my size will let me bust out of my tight straps. I focused on the mental image that was formed when I looked at myself. The straps ripped and I walked on all fours over to my friends and used my claws to rip Noah and Sara out of their straps. I turned into human form and we walked down a corridor and curiously opened the door at the end. Sunlight! We ran out and wandered back to the city.
And so, thus began our perilous journey (Or adventure, but who cares?).
