Chapter 3

Three Weeks Later...

Shred sighed as he worked on sharpening a stake, a small hobby which even he found strange. His claws were strangely sharper than the average dragon and about a foot longer than the average dragon's too. He then looked at the setting sun and got up and threw the stake into the small pile which was now forming from all the other stakes he had sharpened and he sheathed his claws and put a hand to his forehead.

"Great...symptom one...burning up...another full moon tonight...should have figured, Halloween and all..." muttered Shred as he walked back towards Warfang.

The reason why Shred dislikes full moons is because for the past eleven years, each full moon caused him agonizing pain and prevented him from getting rest for more than two hours and whenever full moons occurred, he was usually put into a foul mood and he had learned to read the signs for a full moon which written on his body, such as him burning up.

The black-scaled dragon disappeared in red-black mist and reappeared near a beach and he leaned back against the palm tree behind him and listened calmly to the soothing crashing of the waves against the sand.

"HEY SHRED!"

Shred shot up and looked around frantically before he spotted Slither.

"Don't. Do. That!" snapped Shred as he got up.

"Sorry, class is about to begin and wanted to come and get you so you wouldn't be marked late." said Slither.

"Sorry about snapping. Come on, let's go."

Academy; 1 Hour Later...

"Okay, today is seeing this classes elements seeing as how this is Advanced Elemental Training. First up, uh...Flamus?" said Alex.

A ten-year-old red-furred wolf with yellow eyes and a scar across his face got up and put on a optical mask. The wolf had leather jeans. The wolf then grabbed the nearby flamethrower and walked into the training area.

"{Muffled} One second..." said the wolf bringing out an iPod and headphones and putting the headphones over his ears while he searched for a certain song on the large list he had on the iPod. He finally finds the song he was looking for after two minutes of searching and selects it and attaches the iPod to his belt which also holds a serrated axe with a backwards curving pummel with a warthog's tusk at the end.

[Walking on Sunshine Plays Through Headphones]

"{Muffled} Ready!" said Flamus giving a thumbs-up.

"What's this guy even doing here? He's not a dragon." murmured the Fire dragons in the class.

Jackal Dummies then pop up and charge Flamus and he open fires with his flamethrower, roasting ten before they can even come close and one manages to get close to him but he side-steps its attack, elbows it in the face and fries it with his weapon before he ducks under a sword swing from behind and sends his secondary weapon into the skull of the Jackal Dummy Grunt. He then turns around and open fires with his weapon.

Ten Minutes Later...

Flamus is the only one standing among a inferno of flaming Dummy bodies and he shoulders his flamethrower and he walks calmly through the flames without getting burnt and he sits back down in his spot and any Fire Dragons near him instantly disappear to the other side of the room in fear.

[End Song]

"{Muffled}Where'd everybody go?" said Flamus looking around and three people burst out laughing.

"If I didn't know the guy, I would've bolted too! Hah ha hah ha hah ha hah!" laughed Slither as he clutched his stomach.

"{Muffled} Am I really that terrifying?" asked Flamus as he pulled out a lighter and tried to ignite a leaf with it.

"Uh, you burnt down the entire training area and easily killed an army of Dummies wile listening to relaxing music...yeah, you're terrifying especially with your elemental control." said Shred.

"{Muffled} I can't help it. I was never trained in elemental control before." said Flamus as he finally ignited the leaf and held it in his hands, the flames not bothering him before he had the small fireball orbit his hand and he then put it out.

Alex then climbs out of the flaming debris and walks over.

"Okay, due to a certain pyromaniac, who for once wasn't Combu or Laya, Advanced Elemental Training is postponed until we get the training area rebuilt. Dismissed." said Alex as he eyed the damage which was still burning.

"{Muffled} I don't think I have the right mixture of Thermite and Magnesium..." said Flamus as he eyed his flamethrower, "Because that stuff will burn for another...three to four hours."

"This is gonna be a long day..." muttered Alex as everybody left, the Fire Dragons being last as they waited for Flamus to leave. Before leaving, the red-furred wolf removed his optical mask and then sucked in a big breath of air and then exhaled.

"Man, that mask makes it hard to breath." muttered Flamus as he walked out of the room.

"Anybody else terrified of that wolf?" said a Fire Dragon and the others nod vigorously.

Mess Hall; 2 Hours Later...

"So, what's everybody going as for Halloween?" asked Blackclaw.

"Phase 1 for me." said Slither as he ate a lamb leg and Shred and Dozer spit out their drinks into the other's face before they looked at Slither with wide-eyes and Blackclaw fell back laughing as the two were soaked.

"Just Phase One right?" asked Shred, his nervousness gone when around friends or family.

"Just Phase One. I'm working on Phase Two still." said Slither shrugging.

"Remember the last time you lost control?"

"*Shudders*...Don't remind me. You nearly lost your tail and Dozer nearly lost his head. I'll be fine, Phase One I have complete control over."

"What're you going as?" asked Blackclaw nervously to the red-furred wolf sitting nearby.

"Going as myself." said Flamus as he cooked the raw chicken on his plate with his element.

"Why?" asked Shred.

"I'm scary enough already."

"Just don't burn the place down like you did with Laya's Fireworks Store." said Slither.

"Hey! How was I supposed to know you don't light fireworks INSIDE the store?"

"Or how about blowing up Combu's explosive factory?" said Shred.

"How was I supposed to know the vent was secreting methane? He shouldn't have put so many vents at ground-level. At least Laya had a sense of humor."

"You blew up Combu's factory with him still INSIDE, while Laya watched her store explode. Two different situations." said Shred.

"Drop the subject before you get burned pal." said Flamus.

"Okay, okay. Dropping the subject. I won't be going though." said Shred as he unsheathed his claws.

"Why?" said Blackclaw.

"Another pain-filled night due to a full moon. I always suffer on those days, been that way for the past eleven years."

Suddenly Shred's head is bashed into the table and he gets up clutching his head.

"Aw, did I hurt the wittle freak's head?" jeered Electro, an electric dragon bully and he instantly had to dodge the war hammer thrown at his head which hit the wall behind him, creating a slight tremor within a twenty mile radius and Dozer had steam escaping nostrils as he glared at the dragon.

"Aw, is the overgrown brute gonna cry because I hurt his freak of a cousin?" jeered Electro again before he found a vice-like grip around his throat and was looking into the eyes of Flamus.

"Ever wonder what it feels like to be covered in flames?" said Flamus as he started pouring "water" onto Electro, "It's a very relaxing experience...unless you're not immune to fire."

Flamus then brings out a lighter and strikes it and brings it slowly closer to Electro.

"Flamus, back off." said Shred calmly and Flamus flips the lid back onto the lighter and drops Electro who is wide-eyed in fear.

"I wasn't going to use my Magnesium Lighter on him." said Flamus as he sat back down.

"You're all freaks!" yelled Electro in fear before he ran off.

Twenty Minutes Later; Infirmary...

Electro is in a full-body cast and he sighs in pain before he sees Blackclaw enter with a bouquet of white flowers and she smiles at him.

"{Muffled} AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" screamed Electro in fear as she came close and set the flowers down next to his bed and she leaned in close.

"Hurt my friends again and it'll be worse than that." whispered Blackclaw in his ear and the Electric dragon fainted and Blackclaw walks calmly out of the building.

Nighttime; Abandoned Warehouse...

Shred is sitting on a crate sharpening a stake when he notices the clouds parting to reveal a full moon and the dragon throws the stake into a target in the shape of a Jackal, nailing it in the head, right between the eyes. The target the says, "No surprise, I am dead."

Shred then jumps off the crate and leans against a wall waiting for the pain but when it does come...it feels like his insides are burning and he cries out in agony as he falls to his knees and clutches his head in pain. He closes his eyes as the pain is unbearable and when he opens them again, they are a glowing yellow with a vertical slit.

"The...pain...is worse...than usual...AGH!" ground out Shred as his body slowly began to change...
