A/N: So this is chapter 2! Also, the story will be Alternated between Ice's, Leo's and Cocoa's POV
Leo woke up, feeling a talon prooding at his side. He opened his eyes, seeing a SkyWing right in front of him. Leo jumped, reaching for his sword but it wasn't there. He suddenly remembered the attack and sighed. "You're lucky I'm unarmed." He said
"Queen Scarlet wants you to fight now." He said, picking up Leo and bringing him to the prep room
Leo sighed as he looked around. Most of the weapons where to big for him. And even if he did switch shapes, they where rather flimsy and would probably break on impact. Leo sighed as he spotted a small blade, tucked into the corner of the room, he walked towards it, smiling. It wasn't flimsy, and it was his size. Perfect. Leo picked it up. The blade seemed to hum as he gripped it. That was almost never a good sign. He shrugged. It would have to do. He walked out of the room and saw that his opponent was already there. It was an IceWing, rather small. Leo sighed. It was probably a child and he probably didn't have a choice but to kill it. The dragon was shivering with fear. Leo looked up. He started thinking
"FIGHT ALREADY!" Scarlet yowled, clearly angry
The young dragon launched itself at Leo, snarling weakly. Leo suddenly thought of a plan. The dragonet could probably fly a short distance, if Leo gave him a boost. Leo morphed into a larger version of the dragon, grabbing the small dragon and flying up very high. Once they where high enough, he spoke.
"What's your name?" Leo asked
"F-F-Frost" The young dragon stammered
"Alright Frost." Leo said. "I'm gonna throw you really far. When you're close to the ground, spread your wings. You can fly right?" Leo asked
Frost nodded shakily
Leo started flying in circles, picking up speed with every rotation. Once he judged he had amassed enough speed, he threw Frost towards the Ice Kingdom, hoping the warm up drafts would be enough to keep the dragonet airborne until he reached his snowy home. Leo dove back down into the arena, roaring in triumph. He then morphed back into human shape and started coughing. Wha...? Leo thought as he lost consciousness
...
"Leo?" A voice said. "Leo, can you hear me?" The voice said again
"I think he's waking up." Another voice said
"Well that's rather obvious." Another voice, deeper than the others spoke from the left of him
Leo blinked awake, looking around. He spotted all friends. Ice was leaning back on a pillar to the left of him, while Dawn and Snow where at his bedside, eyes wide with worry. Ivy was near the door. Only Cocoa was missing. "What happened?" Leo asked groggily as he rubbed his forehead with his hand.
"You flew down from the sky, morphed into human form and then started coughing like crazy." Snow said. "Hen the guards took you away and let me care for you." Snow said
"And that's where we made a shocking discovery." Ice said. "There was radiation poisoning in your blood stream." He said. "Then we all tested each other's, the poisoning was in all our bloodstreams." Ice said. "Which we have about 21 more days until the symptoms gets really bad, so bad that we won't be able to move. And apparatly, radiation blocks magic. Which means they fed it to us in our water." Ice hissed
"So... we have to get out of here, get a cure for radiation poisoning within the next 3 weeks and then get back home." Leo summed it up
Ivy nodded. "Which means we need to get out of here." She said. "I propose we blow a hole through the roof." She said, grinning
"We don't have magic." Dawn reminded her
"Oh." Ivy said
Ice paused to think before speaking. "I still have access to my dimension. But that's it." He said. "We're getting away tonight, going through it."
Leo tilted his head slightly. "How?" He asked
"The dimension overlaps this one. Think of it like this." Ice said. "This is this dimension." Ice said, placing a hand on the table. "And this is mine." He said, putting his other hand over the first one and interlocking the fingers. He looked up at his watch, then at the sky outside. "It's dark. Which means dinner is served." He said, smirking. He started slowly morphing into a larger version of himself. "At least we still have shapeshifting powers. They're a blessing, so a bit of poisoning won't stop us." He grinned
All the other also morphed into larger forms of themselves and stormed into the dining hall
...
Leo seated himself at the right of Ice, who was at the head of the table, facing Scarlet with cold eyes. "We found out your little trick." He said. "Radiation. Smart, but not that discreet." He said
"Ah. So you are as smart as you say you are." Scarlet said, eating his her food. "Well, I have a proposition for you." She said, eyes gleaming. "I have a event planned. 100 prisoners with be released into the wilderness. All dragons, all fairly strong. If you manage to defeat all of them in a lapse of 1 moon, I can give you the antidote and you can go free." She said. "However, if you don't, you'll die from my poison." She said, the beginnings of a smirk forming on her lips. "So, do you accept?" She said
"What if we decide to just storm out of here?" Ice asked
"Then I kill her." Scarlet said, flicking her tail at her guards. They brought in a mable beam. And Cocoa was tied to it
Ice's eyes widened. He hissed. "Fine." He spat. "We'll do it." He said, storming off
Snow went after him to calm him down, while Ivy and Dawn started at Cocoa with wide eyes. They started crying and ran off
Scarlet smirked
Leo glared at her. You monster... He thought as he went after the other
