a/n: Ahh, here's the next part where we get into some real action, also introduces one of the villains featured. Enjoy!
Chapter 4, Battle on the Pond:
As we left off, many of the hotel guests head for the pond to go ice skating, many are minding their own business, happily ice-skating. Others are still learning, and while others just show off.
Bloo: Whee! Look at me!
Mac: Hey take it easy, Brian Blootano.
Archi: (Snickering)
Mac: You could get hurt doing that stuff.
Bloo: (Sputters) Chill, I've seen them do this stuff on TV.
Mac: That's 'cause those people have had years of practice & training before they can be in the Olympics, shows & the NHL. And you haven't even started.
Meanwhile, just when Jake & Tori get on the ice, they see under the ice.
Tori: Wait a sec. There's something under the ice, can't quite make it out.
Jake: Allow me. Eye of the dragon.
His eyes glow red as he sees more clearer under the ice is some large creature.
Jake: It's a real big, scaly fishy-thing.
Tori: Isn't it too cold for fish?
Jake: Unless it's salmon but it doesn't look much like a salmon. It has a cape.
Tori: Cape? Then that means…
Just then, the creature makes some parts of the ice thin, and Bloo skates onto it!
(Ice cracking)
Mac: Bloo! Don't move!
Bloo: Why?
Too late, the ice cracks, Bloo falls through and emerges inside a big ice block.
Mac: That's why.
Jake nods sideways at Tori, who then beckons Mac, the trio goes behind the trees. Meanwhile, the creature saws a hole in the ice and many pygmy krakens emerge from it.
Krakens: (Gurgling growls)
Everyone: (Screaming)
2 krakens grab Wally Gator & Snagglepuss.
Wally: Yipes!
Snagglepuss: Heavens to Captain Nemo, we're being attacked by giant squids!
Wally: Yeah, and these guys are uglier than anything I've seen.
But just then, the American Dragon, Indy & Draco appear on the scene.
Jake: Whoa! What are those guys?
Indy: Pygmy Krakens, I've faced these guys before.
Draco: Though, we don't know them as well as the MagiDragons.
Jake: Draco, go get the Dragons & Drizzle, Indy & I'll keep these guys busy.
Draco: Right.
He goes off as Indy & Jake face the Krakens and Sirius appears.
Sirius: Well, well, if it isn't the Indigo Dragoness. And is he your boyfriend?
Both: Eww!
Indy: He is not my boyfriend!
Jake: I'd sooner have bot flies than go out with her! No offense, Indy.
Indy: None taken. But we'll settle our relationship later.
Jake: Right, time to kick some slimy, fishy butts!
While Jake deals with Sirius, Indy fights off the Krakens and save Snag & Wally.
Kraken #1: (Gurgling growl)
She then takes out a Dragorang and throws it, it misses…
Kraken: (Evil snicker)
But it comes back and slices its tentacle off!
Kraken: (Screeching)
Indy catches her Dragorang. Though, the tentacle grows right back, the Kraken attacks! It slams its tentacle at Indy, but she moves away and attacks back. While Jake & Sirius face off against each other.
Jake: I admit, fish-freak, you're a worthy adversary.
Sirius: You too, American Dragon. But, how 'bout some of this!
He thumps his foot on the ice and giant, sharp ice spikes appear out of the ground, Jake dodges in time.
Jake: Whoa!
Sirius: Now ya see me…
He blends into the icy surroundings.
Sirius: Now ya don't.
Jake: Uh…
He looks everywhere for him, but even with his dragon eyes, Sirius is hard to spot for he gives off very poor body heat.
Jake: Aw man!
While Indy still fights off the Krakens, but one grabs her in its tentacle.
Indy: Aah!
Jake: Indy!
Just then, Bowen flies in with Drizzle & Draco!
Jake: All right! The cavalry!
Bowen: Hang on, lads & lassie, we're comin'!
Draco & Drizzle leap off of Bowen then Drizzle transforms into a large polar bear.
Drizzle: (Roars)
Draco: Whoa, cool.
As Drizzle & Bowen attack the Kraken the has Wally & Snag, Draco saves Indy with a freeze arrow to the other Kraken.
Kraken: (Screeching)
He freezes the Kraken's main tentacle and it breaks off, freeing Indy.
Indy: Whew! Thanks Draco.
Draco: Don't mention it.
While Bowen freezes the other Kraken with his ice breath then Drizzle slashes the tentacles off with his bear claws. Freeing the two hostages.
Kraken: (Screeching)
It was then the Krakens retreat, Bowen puts Snag & Wally on the ground as he goes back to Jake.
Bowen: Lad, by any chance, did ye see a strange fish bloke wearing a cape?
Jake: Sure did, I lost him in the icicles.
Bowen: Sirius, he can blend into his icy backgrounds and dragon vision doesn't do much good for he has very poor body heat. C'mon, we'll look for him together.
They look for him by melting the ice with their fire breathe. After melting the entire pond, they face each other again.
Jake: Did ya find him?
Bowen: Nay, did ye?
Jake: Nope. He must've got away.
Bowen: Oh well, he does that a lot.
Jake: Well, I should go anyway. Later.
Bowen: Take care, lad.
He lands near Wally & Snag as Drizzle turns back to normal.
Bowen: Whew!
Wally: Wow, you guys were great.
Snagglepuss: To be sure, to be sure. Super, incredible, heroic even.
Drizzle: Heh, it's no problem at all.
Wally: Hey, I wonder where those other guys are.
Snagglepuss: That's right, the red dragon & the two costumed ones. I should like to thank them for their efforts & heroicness.
Bowen: Oh, uh they had to rest up. Fighting giant squids & stuff is exhausting.
Drizzle: Yeah, but let's get back to the Lodge.
Wally: I agree, it's nippy out here.
The group heads back to the Lodge as mad yellow eyes watch them leave from the trees.
Voice: (Growls)
Is this mysterious character in the trees the same one who's been spying on our heroes? And why is it Sirius & the Krakens are here? Also, is it me or did our heroes forget about something? Find out next time.
