I do not own Once Upon a Time.


The mighty swing of a club sent a hundred year old tree flying across the forest. Heavy footsteps made the ground shake. There were monsters in the Enchanted Forest, ogres to be exact and they had come for blood and destruction.

A high pitched shriek pierced the air and the sun was suddenly blocked out.

The warriors had arrived.

"Three ogres total, two ogres, next to the big tree." Ruby called out to her fellow Riders, though they heard her in their helmets.

"We are in a forest, all the trees are big." Krisoff teased.

"We need to focus and not make jokes." Liam tried to gather his troops. "Merida and Graham, go left. Killian and I will go right. The ugly one has a friend. Amelia, Neal, Cinderella, Krisoff, same formation. Take him down. Aladdin, Jasmine, be on the lookout for more ogres.

"But Liam, all the ogres are ugly." Amelia followed Krisoff's original joke.

"Focus people."

"Always such a leader, Liam." Mulan complimented him.

"It's just good form, now cut the chatter."

Seven huge dragons swept down towards the ogres. The creatures tried to swipe at the dragons or at least at the pod connection that held the riders.

Three dragons blew fire at the ogres, making them back up. The other four used this time to grab long vines and worked together to wrap them around the confused ogres.

"Timber!" Phillip gave a running commentary of the fight as two ogres fell to the forest floor. The riders didn't have to be on the ground to feel it shake.

The third and final ogre saw his friends go down and became angry. He swung his club but dragon was faster and caught the weapon.

"I'll be taking that." Jasmine said.

"And now it's gone." Aladdin finished as their dragon threw the club away.

"Hey, watch where you are swinging that thing!" Cinderella yelled. "You need to work on your aim."

Now rocks were being thrown at the remaining ogre and he held up his hands to shield his face. He let out a growl of pain then disappeared into a cloud of purple smoke, his fallen comrades followed suit. They were being called back to the Evil Queen.

Cheers of success roared through the air, both from the riders and the dragons.

"Good thing they aren't attacking near a village, that would cause more trouble and more harm to innocent people." Dorothy voiced her concerns.

"There is a village on the other edge of the clearing, we did our job and protected the kingdom." Mulan told them all.

"Mulan is right, good job everyone. Let's go home." Liam told them all. The seven dragons flew into formation and headed in the direction of the castle.


Reviews please. The Riders are all really cool people.
