Ok, so, gosh how do I say this? I have a small problem, small, but still there. So, I was wondering if you guys/girls could help me out, see I was thinking, maybe, just maybe, we could get some OCs in the house! I'll give credit to all the creators, but, here's one thing, your OCs won't show up until Calcite and the gang go to college. So, will you guys/girls help me out?
Crescent: I'm sure the readers will be jumping at the opportunity.
Eclipse: I bet no one will submit and OC.
Calcite: Your just jealous because you think my story is out to get yours.
Also, I've noticed I took my time with this chapter, but I've been feeling a little un-motivated to write lately. I'm writing this chapter on a SouthWest plane, so, yeah. I also got the eleventh book and read it in three hours the day I got it. I'm trying to work on my writer's block, so hopefully, I'll eventually be able to get back to 1-2 ten Microsoft Word page chapters a week again. Ok, well, with that out of the way, let's get into this chapter.
Chapter Four: Getting Down to Business.
After Glory and Snow mothering me about if I was okay or not after the other day, I was able to wiggle myself out of their tight hug. I held my chest and took in some deep breaths after getting out of the death hug.
"For the last time, Mom! I'm okay!" I shouted at Glory. It took me a few seconds to realize what I just said.
"Did you just call me 'Mom'?" Glory mused with a grin on her face. I blinked a few times before I responded.
"Huh, it appears I accidently did." I replied.
"Well then daughter, it's time to train." Glory smirked. I groaned and smacked my forehead.
"You're never going to let me hear the end of this." I groaned.
"No, no I'm not." Glory grinned.
"If Glory's your mom, can I be your aunt?!" Snow yelled from another room.
"No!" I shouted, a blush was very clearly identified on my face.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on my crystal magic and physical capabilities. It wasn't until a month before summer ended that we received a mission. This would be my first mission ever, needless to say, I was super pumped, and somewhat nervous.
"Don't lose that." Deathbringer glared at me as he handed me a semi-automatic mostly silent Glock 19. I strapped the gun (which was inside the sheath) onto my belt. I nodded and got in one of the two vans.
"So, I was in the bathroom, what's the mission?" I asked.
"A simple and presumably easy one, we're simply escorting." Snow replied, while Glory drove.
"Who're we escorting?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Queen Glacier." Glory bluntly answered.
"So, basically, we see trouble, we intervene and keep the Queen safe?" I questioned.
"Basically." Glory replied.
It was pretty cold, okay, it was very cold. And very white, lots of white. In every direction there was just, snow, and ice. Each of us, minus Shellshocker, who was back at base, were wearing heavy winter gear. I tried to keep my distance between the cold ice wing queen and her glare and the open snowy plains. I ended up next to Peril, who was one, a personal heater, and two, behind the Queen. When we had first arrived, I quickly learned that I did not like the Queen's glare. It's like she could see right through me. For the most part, I was acting more like the communication between the ice kingdom and base. Since, for obvious reasons, I didn't have a gun. Not that I was too thrilled about having one, it was a mutual feeling.
"Calcite! Calcite! Enemy fire from the South!" Shellshocker yelled into his mic, which fed into my earpiece.
"Everybody get down!" I yelled, running in front of the Queen. I was able to form a wall of crystals right as the bullets rained down.
"You'll be safe behind this wall! I'd advise not moving!" I yelled behind me, where presumably, the Queen was. I stuck my right claws up while I kept my left claws worried about keeping the wall up. Around twenty-twenty five sharp and pointy orange crystals formed in front of the wall. I threw my claws down to be level with my shoulder, and the crystals shot forwards. It seemed as if about two guns worth of bullets abruptly stopped hitting the wall. It looked like the crystals hit a few of their marks.
"I think there's only three left, it doesn't seem like a big party, does it?" Shellshocker informed us over the com system.
"Yeah, it does…almost like a…distraction!" My eyes widened and I repositioned myself, I formed another wall, which face North. I heard pings coming off that wall as well. I had never formed two walls before, I was starting put strain on my brain and arms. I heard the familiar sound of Deathbringer's sniper, and him counting.
"One, two, three, and to the fourth! Woo! Dropping enemies all over the snow!" I heard Deathbringer shout.
"There's about, uh, it seems like four left. One North, three South." Shellshocker informed us. My head was starting to hurt really bad.
"It'd be great…if you guys could…hurry up." I groaned, my muscles in my arms started to tense up. Sweat started form on my forehead.
"Two more down!" Snow yelled.
"That makes two left, one North, two South." Shellshocker replied. I saw Peril ready her grenade launcher. She pulled the trigger and a glowing oranges cylinder flew North. The cylinder landed in the snow, and a dome explosion of fire landed where the last enemy on the North side was shooting.
"Make that one left, South." Peril calmly said over the com unit.
"It'd be great if we could capture that one, but, I have a feeling that's not really an option." Glory said. I took the North wall down and nearly collapsed into the snow. I was having trouble keeping the South wall up. I saw Deathbringer leaning on one leg, Sniper ready for action. He pulled the trigger and…
"Boom headshot!" Deathbringer exclaimed.
Later that day, after having getting some serious rest, I got off the couch back at base and pulled up the pictures of the dragons. Out of the ten that attacked, five of the dragons seemed like just average bounty hunters, the other five were the dragons that worried me, they were in the same outfit as the crazy dragons that attacked earlier.
I got back to the house late that night, Limestone had clocked out on the couch, a livestream playing on the T.V. I grinned and shook my head, another one of Phantom's streams. I turned off the T.V. and walked into my room.
I woke up pretty groggy. Everything was pretty blurry. I blinked a few times and my vision cleared up. I stretched and threw on some non-sleeping clothes. I walked out of my room to see: Limestone sleeping on the floor. I tried not to burst out laughing, and succeeded, and wrote a note for Limestone. I then walked out of the house and saw Crescelia waiting.
"You know it's a Saturday? Right? I don't work on weekends, not yet, at least." I smirked.
"Well, good thing that's not what I'm here for, grab some clothes, a sleeping bag, and your toothbrush and toothpaste, we're having a sleepover!" Crescelia ordered. I could see some other dragons in the car, but I couldn't recognize them quite yet. I rolled my eyes and walked back into the house.
I threw my stuff in Crescelia's trunk and got in the passenger seat.
"Why does Calcite get the fancy seat?" I heard Phantom complain.
"Why were you up until Twelve O' Clock at night livestreaming?" I shot back. We were in Crescelia's black van. There were three other dragons other than Crescelia, Phantom, and I.
"We're sorry about Phantom, he's got some serious complaining issues." I smirked.
"We know." The female sky wing rolled her eyes.
"He's a little bit of whiner." The same sky wing remarked.
"I am not." Phantom protested.
"You are too." I rolled smirked.
"Remember that one time-" I started off.
"No!" Phantom yelled.
"However much I love torturing Phantom, I think that introductions are in order." Crescelia rolled her eyes.
"Well, I'm Calcite." I shrugged.
"Phantom." Phantom grumbled.
"Name's Dust." The male sand wing said, he was in the way back with the sky wing.
"No need for a deep conversation, name's Aether." The female sky wing with ice blue eyes bluntly said.
"And I'm Frostburn!" The female ice wing/sky wing hybrid exclaimed. Something seemed eerily familiar about Frostburn.
"Are you related to Queen Glacier?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Yep!" Frostburn chirped.
"How could you tell? She's probably the least likely ice wing ever to be royalty." Dust asked, rolling his eyes.
"Why would that be?" Frostburn accused.
"One word: Enthusiasm." Dust smirked. Crescelia shook her head and continued to drive.
"Calcite could tell because of one main reason: She's very observant." Phantom grinned.
"She probably noticed the smallest detail in your appearance, physical, I mean." Crescelia added, keeping her eyes on the road. I simply shrugged.
"What they said." I simply remarked.
I had seen Queen Galaxy's mansion once before, but that was a while ago, seeing it again, it was quite a marvel of engineering. Fifteen walkways connected the palace to the canyon the mansion sat in. Large metal poles and elevators held the mansion up. There was a large skylight in the middle of the mansion's dome roof, made of bullet proof glass, any glass surface was bullet proof, even the glass cups, as Crescelia had informed us. A waterfall cascaded out of one of the sides of the mansion. Plants lined the edge of the mansion.
"Wow, it's more elegant and beautiful than I remember." I remarked while we turned onto a bridge, heading straight for the palace.
"Probably because the last time you were here was five years ago, and there's been a bit of remodeling." Crescelia informed me.
"Naw, who would think that?" Dust sarcastically remarked. I looked back out of the front window and saw we were heading towards an open garage. Crescelia parked the car and got out.
"Well, here we are: The night wing palace." Crescelia said, opening the door, revealing a beautiful tiled room on the other side of the door.
I'm sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out. Like I said: Writer's block. I may even have to stop writing for a bit, but hopefully, that won't have to happen. However, if it does happen, it will most likely only be for a month, max two. I want to finish the Crescent saga so I can move on to other ideas for my next saga. Oh, about the sagas: I have an idea, that I group some fanfics together, with main characters. Each of these characters have their own fanfic, and then once I finish each of their fanfics, there will be one last fanfic about all of them dealing with one big problem together in one last fanfic of the saga. I have yet to finish one saga, a.k.a., this saga: The Crescent Saga. I'm almost done with every character's fanfic in this saga. I've finish my anthropomorphic pokemon story, with a shiny umbreon named Rain. I've finished my FNAF fanfic, main character Destin. Those were my first two fanfics. I'm almost done with a pokemon/Transformer's Prime crossover fanfic about a trainer named Zeke, who's teleported from the Johto region, to the Prime universe. I've technically finished Crescent's WoF story, I'm just trying to do little AU/Bonus chapters for it. I just need to finish Calcite's adventure, and then finish the Undertale fanfic I have planned. Well, that's it, I'll stop rambling now, and if you're wondering what the last fanfic will be in this saga, the answer is: I don't know…Feel free to leave suggestions, but I suggest you read at least one chapter of all my other stories to get an idea of each character and their personality before you leave a suggestion. Anyways, I'll see you…sometime I guess, bye!
