Hermione's pov
Friedrich, Geler and I have been waiting for Beca's arrival for an hour, and frankly I'm getting impatient what the heck is taking her so long. I thought I was going to be late because I had to say goodbye to my wives and kids. Hermione looks up towards the sky from where she was standing in the middle of the woods. She turns to her two companion dragons who seem to be hitting off, though Friedrich looked a bit uncomfortable with Geler's face being so close to his own. What's going on with them? Turning around her head to face forwards seeing snowflakes fall gently into the oblivion of the snow covering the ground. I already miss all of them, I hope I can get this mission done as soon as possible the brunette thinks as she puffs out another breathe of cold air none of them noticing a dark figure coming up from behind the witch.
"BOO!" a voice shouts into Hermione's ear causing said girl to yelp in surprise, jumping 10 feet into the air.
Turning around Hermione comes face to face with her older brunette counterpart "BECA! What the hell. You could have given me a heart attack" Hermione shrieks, still a bit shocked.
The other woman laughs heartily while the dragons just shake their head in exasperation. "Constant vigilance cousin, you know that's how we've been trained" she says winking.
Groaning, Hermione rolls her eyes, I'm so going to get back at her. Turning towards Friedrich she says, " Well since you are FINALLY here, we need to get going. You are going to ride on Geler."
Raising one of her eyebrows Beca replies " Hey, my wives wanted to say goodbye to me before we leave. Two weeks is a long time, who am I to deny them."
Sighing Hermione nods her head in acceptance "I suppose you're right. But be that as it may we need to get going as soon as possible." Now sitting on Friedrich's back she waves her hand at Geler "This is Geler, she is the new ice dragon we met yesterday who insisted on coming to save the dragon eggs."
"Of course I would insist on coming. Anyone who is causing danger to the dragon race needs to be destroyed" she says growling slightly causing all eyes to look at her.
Friedrich then nods his head in agreement, and adds in" The eggs are the future of our species we must protect them at all costs."
Beca walks up to Geler and holds out her hand to let the dragon sniff her; determining that she was not a threat, she lowered herself to help Beca get on her back. "Well then Geler, my name is Beca if you did not hear from my cousins shrill cream." This caused Hermione to glare at her playfully, which caused Beca to grin back in return. "It is my pleasure to work with such a righteous dragon, an I hope we will be able to get along."
Geler straightens back up " It is my pleasure to have a partner who can help me tease those two over there" she says motioning her head towards the other two dragon and tamer duo, who gape at the dragons response while Beca simply laughs.
"Oh yes, we are going to get along just fine" the alt girl says stifling her laughter. The other two simply ignore them as Friedrich jumps propelling them into the sky with Geler close on his heels.
Hours later on a mountain top overlooking the sea port, Hermione and Beca blend into the darkness of the tress with their black clothing ensemble while the two dragons are further away as to not give them away but close enough so that if the tamers needs help they can act quickly.
Looking through some binoculars the duo see a group of men about 30, maybe more getting ready to receive the cargo (ie: the dragon eggs) from an oncoming ship that is about to dock. Turning to look at her younger cousin Beca whispers "So what's the plan?"
Hermione continues to keep her eyes on the ship "First things first, we need to get rid of those men, we don't want them to be able to use the eggs as hostage so we need to get to that. You have more experience in recon so you can probably get past the guards undetected. I'm going to cause a diversion as you enter the ship, Geler will be underwater ready to receive eggs on the rear end of the boat."
She is cut off by a snort making a stare pointedly at Beca that makes her stop "Mission, serious, got it" she says as her facial features harden.
Turning back to watch the men get nearer to the ship Hermione continues "From the intel that we received there is a total of 5 eggs, they are about 8 inches in width and 12 inches in height. That means if you are careful you should be able to get two out each time since they are encased in a small incubator each."
Nodding her head Beca recalls the map of the ship within her head as she decides the route that she is going to take as well as calculate the time it would take her to get the eggs out to Geler safely. "It will take me twenty minutes tops. The minute you begin your distraction the men on the ship are going to run to try and get to the eggs. It will take 10 minutes before they can board. I suggest you come with me on the ship to take of the people on the upper deck whilst I take care of the men on the lower decks."
"Good plan lets go." The two quickly jumped and quietly ran to the other side of the ship and plunged into the water where they saw Geler at the ready. They nodded to her signalling to her that the mission had begun and she nods back in confirmation. Climbing on the ship's starboard using a twist of the stickfast hex the duo made quick works of the men on the uppermost deck as they shot stupefy spells whilst using a softening charm so as to not alert the other guards of their presence. Once finished they made their way to the lower decks and split up. Hermione stayed on the upper decks to watch out for any possible threats.
Beca crept within the shadows of the lower decks as she swiftly took out bodyguard after bodyguard, until she came across a huge vault. Casting a sonorus (amplifying) charm, she carefully placed her ear on the vault as decoded the lock. Soon with a click, she pulled the vault's door open to reveal in the middle of the room a row of dragon eggs. Looking around she found a huge sack full of vegetables. An idea popped into her mind as she began emptying the sacks contents.
Meanwhile Hermione was battling off a hoard of men who were trying to get onto the ship after one of the unconscious sailors ad woken up and alerted those on port of her presence. She had sent a quick thought to Fried and Geler to lay low until Beca had gotten the eggs out of harms way. Just as she sent the thought a spell crashed into her chest making her fall backs, but with a backwards tuck and roll she was on her feet in less than 5 seconds. Then she heard her cousins' voice call out a huge Santa sack around her neck making her look like a Japanese panty thief but worse. "Cuz I've got 'em lets go" Beca said as she let the momentum of the heavy bag make her fall backwards onto Gelers' back as the ice dragon shot out of the water to aid the ex-gryffindor.
Fried then flew towards his partner and began burning through the men on port. "Geler go and get the eggs and Beca to safety, Hermione and I can handle the rest" he told her as she responded with a nod and flew off.
"The dragon is getting away with the eggs we need to stop them!" screamed one of the men. Soon the spells were directed towards the other dragon. Fried flew in front of the spells to shield Geler.
"Fried!" screamed Hermione and Geler. The brunette then began taking out the men whose attention was now focused on the dragon making them distracted and confused. "Fried" the blue-eyed dragon called out.
"No! You have to go. We will be right behind you but your priority are those eggs" he said to her, his eyes hardened with determination as he used his head to nudge her away. He then turned around to dive near the deck to tackle some of the men whilst Hermione distracted them. And with one last look Geler flew off into the darkness of the sky in the direction of the Granger household.
Back at the scene Hermione was becoming exhausted, the spell that had hit her earlier was starting to take effect. Not only did it physically bruise the area its main aim was to seep into the lungs off the victim and slowly tear it away from the inside, thus making Hermione fall on her knees, coughing out blood. Fried seeing this sent one huge blast of fire, using his tail to slam into the rest of the men standing. He quickly grabbed Hermione by the scuff of her shirt and he flew away. A few miles out he had begun to tire from the fight. Spells were not meant to be able to hurt dragons that much due to their hard skin but after taking multiple hits, he was beginning to feel the effects of his wounds. Sending out a distress signal to Geler and Beca his eyes darkened as the two plunged into the water beneath them.
