I don't own Power Rangers
"Woah" is the only thing she can say as she fights to hold on for dear life Nicole yells out to the dragon "help please I'm slipping" her hold on the ground is loosening and she does not have the upper body strength to hold on for much longer the dragon flies up and lands in the ground in front of her Nicole not knowing what the dragon was going to do just looks at him with pleading eyes he could very well let her fall or push her off he did say he hated all humans as Nicole's grip loosened and she started to fall she closed her eyes but, she didn't feel the hard floor she knew was below or the unbearable pain of broken bones when she was brave enough to open her eyes she saw that the dragon was holding on to her with everything he had.
Nicole stunned that the dragon would help her could do nothing but stare the dragon was giving everything he had to pull her up he yells "come on work with me human you need to pull yourself up" Nicole wakes up from her stunned state and starts to pull herself up with the dragon's help "why are you helping me I thought you hated humans?" as Nicole continues to fight to save her life the dragon says "who cares about that right now when I count to three pull yourself up with everything you've got ok" she looks at him tired and breathless but nods "ok ready one….two...THREE" they both pull with everything they have and Nicole manages to get on the upper cavern with a few scratches but alive none the less.
Both the dragon and Nicole fall to the floor as they lay there flat on there back and out of breath they look at each other and start laughing once they calm down Nicole breathlessly tells the dragon "you can laugh" the dragon chuckles and says "of course I can you humans aren't the only ones who can".
She stops laughing completely and with a serious look on her face tells him "thank you saved me if it wasn't for you I would have died" the dragon looks at her "now were even you freed me and I saved you besides I said I was going to watch you remember I can't do that if your dead" she smiles "yeah your right" the dragon gets up "there's no time to rest the exit is close" she gets up "ok lead the way I can't wait to get out of here" the dragon starts to lead them out the cavern "I think that's one thing we both agree on".
They walk on in peaceful silence and soon they see a light at the end of the path Nicole turns to the dragon and excitedly tells him "look light that must be the exit" the dragon nods "yes that is it" they keep going and soon the bright light from outside engulfs them the light was so bright in contrast to the darkness of the cave that Nicole had to cover her eyes but, after a few seconds she opens them to see the trees of the forest and morning sun shining through their branches. The dragon looks around "so this is what the outside looks like huh" Nicole runs around in a circle with her arms spread out wide and yells "yes a cool breeze and fresh air".
The dragon watches Nicole run around happily and rolls his eyes "yes we have managed to get out so were do we go from here?" Nicole freezes "I…" the dragon raises his eyebrow and says "yes" Nicole faces him and says "have no idea" the dragon slaps his face in exasperation "you WHAT" Nicole then remembers something "shit I can't believe that I forgot" he looks at her and says "I know I'm going to regret asking but what exactly did you forget?".
Nicole answers "I almost forgot that…" but before she could say anything more they hear something from deep within the forest the dragon turns and looks straight ahead "quiet did you hear that" she listens and it sounded as though whatever it was, was getting closer "what is that could it be a bear". Nicole nervously turns to the dragon "you survived almost falling from a cliff and nearly being burned by lava but your afraid of a bear" she looks at him "your right I've been through worse then this" the dragon turns to look forward again "get ready to fight if you have to" Nicole turns to him "wait fight you want me to fight I can't do that!" the dragon tells her "well you might not have a choice".
Nicole realizing that the dragon was right formed her hands into fists and brought them up to rest in front of her face in a boxing like position "ok it's like you said I might not have much of a choice" the dragon then gave her a grin and they both turned to look in the direction the noise was coming from ready to fight if necessary. As the rustling of leaves got louder the more nervous Nicole became the dragon on the other hand was ready for a fight it's head was raised high and, it let out a low snarl but all of a sudden the noise stopped Nicole gave a relieved sigh "see it was" before she could finish branches of the trees in front of them started to rustle.
The dragon quickly flew in front of Nicole and baring his fangs let out a mighty roar that echoed through the forest whatever was behind the trees let out a loud scream. Nicole moved to stand beside the dragon "what are you doing" but instead of answering she chose to ignore him which he didn't appreciate but he chose to stay quiet 'that scream it sounded human" she then moved the leaves of the trees apart to find a young man that looked to be a year or two younger then her passed out on the floor.
"Oh" was the only thing Nicole could say she then crouches down and waves her hand in front of the guys face "hello anyone home?" the dragon lands on the floor by the young mans face "I think he fainted" Nicole then sits on the floor next to the dragon, and gets a sick and starts to poke the young man with it "I think your right" the dragon then looks at her "should we go" Nicole shakes her head "we can't just leave him here let's wait for him to wake up". The dragon couldn't understand why she would want to help a human that she had never met "why would you stay you clearly don't know the guy so let's just leave him".
Nicole looks up to the sky it was a beautiful blue colour and there wasn't a cloud in sight the sun was also shining brightly she then puts both her hands behind her head "it's true I don't know him so I have no reason to help him" the dragon nods at this but he is both confused, and surprised at what she says next "but I am still going to because you should always try to help others" when she sees the dragon's face she chuckles "remember I told you humans help one another everyone does what they can". It is now the dragons turn to chuckle "you are one weird human" Nicole turns to him and pokes his wing "I thought I was a strange human?" he then copy's her movement by poking her leg with his tail "you're that to" they soon burst into laughter.
A few seconds later Nicole and the dragon hear a grunting sound they look towards the young man only to find that he was the source of the noise Nicole quickly turns to the dragon "hurry hide behind me" the dragon defiantly crosses his arms "why should I have to hide". The young man starts moving Nicole grabs the dragon "you have to hide because he might freak dragons aren't suppose to be real now hurry up he's coming too". He looks at the human on the floor and then back at Nicole only to see that she was giving him this pleading look "ok fine but I'm not going to like it".
The dragon then moves to hide behind her left shoulder, and was hidden thanks to her long hair as he does this Nicole says "I wouldn't expect you to" the dragon hid just in time because the young man was starting to open his eyes. As the young man raises himself to sit on the floor he grabs his sore head and starts to rub it "man that hurts" he then realizes that he is on the floor and starts to wildly look around. He then stops when he notices Nicole sitting next to him just watching him "ahhhh" he gets up and points at her which startles Nicole.
All the young man could do was stare at Nicole with wide eyes when he snaps out of his shocked state all he can say is "I-it's you" Nicole looks at him and crooks her head to the side "do I know you" he then starts to pace back and forth completely ignoring Nicole's question the dragon then tells Nicole "are you still happy you helped this guy" she then tells the dragon to be quiet the young man stops and says "what was that I thought I heard another voice" Nicole laughs "what I didn't hear anything you must be hearing things" as she says this she reaches behind her back and gives the dragon a little shove.
Nicole then turns back to the young man "anyway what's your name and why are you in a place like this?" he looks at her "if you must know my name is Luke and the reason I'm here is none of your business" its her turn to stare at him, and grumble "you don't have to be rude?" he turns around as to leave but instead turns to her and says "fine if you must know I came to get you".
Nicole confused asked "get me why?" "follow me and you'll find out" with that said he starts walking back the way he came with him gone the dragon pops his head out, and asks Nicole "what are you going to do personally I don't trust the kid" Nicole stares at the way Luke had left "I think we should follow him he doesn't seem like a bad guy a little rude but not bad besides you don't trust anyone".
The dragon then says "yeah yeah anyway follow him but don't lower your guard" with that said he goes back to his hiding place Nicole laughs "ok I will thanks for worrying about me" just then she hears Luke shout "hurry up or I will leave you behind" Nicole rolls her eyes and says "wow I wonder were I heard that before" she then runs to catch up with Luke.
Looks like they managed to get out in one piece I wonder were Luke is taking them and if he can be trusted you guys will just have to wait for the next chapter to find out.
