We shouldn't be here. But we are. I know this is NOT my destiny. It can't be.

Crackle, Crash, and Cloud were on an island, just like all of the other queens, heirs to thrones, and supporters.

"We're stuck here again!" roared Tsunami, heir to the SeaWings throne. "Anemone, Clay, Sunny, even Glory and Starflight! We need to go!"

"Way ahead of you!" shouted a patch of sky, who was Jambu, Glory's brother, and Mister Annoying RainWings.

Tsunami jumped into the water with Clay.

RUMBLE! RUMBLE! THUMP!

Everything was foggy. Only the SparkWings and SeaWings could see.

"WE'RE BEING ATTACKED!" yelped Fatespeaker.

Cloud felt cold talons touching hers.

"I don't love you, Rocky!" yelped Cloud. The StoneWings leaped back and fell into water. He began to sink.

"CLOUD! Burble burble! Help! Help! Someone! Burble!" exclaimed Rocky.

Talons reached out of the water. They weren't Rocky's.

That's impossible! ArmyWings are extinct! thought Cloud.

"WE ALMOST WERE. ONLY TWO OF US SURVIVED THE FLOOD. THEY BREEDED. THE EGGS THAT HATCHED BREEDED. ET CETERA, ET CETERA... WELL, WE GOT AN ARMY AND TRAINED. WE WERE CIVILIZED ENOUGH TO NOT FIGHT. QUEEN STRENGTH WILL BE THE QUEEN OF PYRRHIA!" shouted one of the dragons who came out of the ocean. "I'm Force."

The fog cleared up as Burn exclaimed, "The first contest is speed. Top three queens will get a point. One lap around the island!"

Tsunami and Clay leapt out of the water to hear more. "May someone else in the tribe enter the race," asked Tsunami, "such as an heir to the throne?"

"Hmmm..." thought Blister aloud. "Why not?"

"I'll go, Queen Moorhen," volunteered Clay.

"I'm fast, Mother," pleaded Anemone.

"It isn't a lady's job, Mother," explained Jay.

"Oh, you'll pay for that when we're through!" roared Glory.

"I will judge!" volunteered Magnificent. "Wait WHAT?! Oh, right... On your marks... get-"

Jay started to soar around the island... the wrong way.

"HEY!" exclaimed Magnificent. "Who cares? GO!"

Glory, Cloud, Rocky, and Jay accidentally (except for Jay) bumped into each other and fell.

"I will bite you, Jay!" Glory brushed some sand onto Jay with her tail.

"No harm done!" exclaimed Jay.

"NO HARM DONE?!" yelled Glory.

"In first place... Anemone! On her tail is... is... is... Candy! Third... Bloom! Queens Coral, Storms, and Lovely get points! Coral gets three... Storms two... and Lovely one!"

"HARM DEFINITELY DONE!" yelled Glory.

"I say we'll do a hiding contest next!" exclaimed Glory. "One team member (one team at a time) will hide. If you find that dragon first, you get a point. Most points win. And the hider is the only searcher, and when you're a searcher, close you eyes until the hider is ready!"

Sunny laid flat in the sand and let the sand swallow her while almost every finder had their eyes closed. Jay was squinting enough that he could see, but only he.

"Go!" answered Sunny. Jay dashed toward the sand, but couldn't see Sunny. She was buried deep.

"HEY! SUNNY! I NEED YOUR HELP! WILL YOU HOLD SILVER?" yelled Glory.

Sunny dashed next to Glory, but underground. Then, she dug upwards and appeared and next to Glory. "SILVER!" she shouted eagerly!

"Found her! Where's my point?" asked Glory. Sunny looked like she could cry.

Glory was about to hide somewhere when...

BOOM CRASH!

"See? Told you we were being attacked! Look! That walrus I told you about!" exclaimed Fatespeaker.

"SHHHHHHHH!" yelled Squid, who threw some sand at Fatespeaker, and, luckily for Fatespeaker, missed.

Flame and Viper reached for the Walrus. It slipped from Flames talons because of the slipperiness, and fell out of Viper's talons as Viper yelped, "COLD!"

"Um... Fatespeaker, I need to tell you something... If the world is ending right now..." said Starflight, turning a reddish blackish color.

"Yeah... about that... I do too... and..." started Fatespeaker.

BOOM! THUMP! CRASH! ROAR!

Wait for more! :D
