Chapter 9: Twenty Years Later
Malefor was now a full grown adult, yet he looked nowhere near as evil as he did before but he still looked intimating. He now had three pairs of horns, his main pair had a slight curve to them now as the other two pairs went straight up, his claws were razor sharp and the tips of his wing membranes had a slight razor edge to them, and his tail blade looked like a three-pronged kunai. His height was the same as it was before when he was fully grown, give or take a few inches and his sapphire eyes shined brightly in the morning light. He sighed as he looked to the western horizon and saw the mountain that originally was named after him but now...it belonged to somebody else.
'Somebody was corrupted in my place...' thought Malefor sadly before he turned his attention back to the Apes in front of him. Rearing onto his hind legs he starts spinning until an Ice Tornado surrounds him and any Apes caught in it are frozen solid before another dragon smashes the frozen Apes. Suddenly one of the dragons fighting by Malefor's side cries out in pain as a spear pierces his shoulder and he falls and the surrounding Apes start stabbing into the dragon with their swords until he is dead.
Malefor looks on as Apes begin to outnumber them twenty to one. Suddenly a heavy net is thrown onto Malefor and he struggles to get free of the bothersome thing but his struggles are in vain as an Ape Captain advances, his war hammer held high. Malefor glares at him without an inch of fear.
"Die dragon!" yells the Ape before a short sword embeds itself in the Ape's throat, spraying blood everywhere, followed by the owner jumping over Malefor and ripping the sword out as the figure raked her claws across his face, taking an eye. The Ape falls as the figure cuts the net apart and Malefor gets up before he sends his tail into an Ape's face as the creature tried to get the jump on his savior.
"Introductions later, kill Apes now." said the figure as she turned around and slit an Ape's throat. Green energy covered Malefor's paws before he slammed them into the ground and Earth Spikes erupted from the ground, impaling fifteen Apes but more kept coming until the two are cut off and surrounded.
"Shit! We're surrounded!" cursed Malefor as the purple dragon and the female went back to back as the Apes advanced.
*Roar of engines*
Suddenly from over a nearby hill came Warbikes followed by bigger Ork vehicles, mainly one being an Ork transport.
"Get da Apes!" yelled an Ape Shoota Boy as he open fired.
Orks began charging the Apes as the latter began backing away. An Ape Commander tripped and fell onto his rump yet his hand bumped a Plasma Pistol and he picked it up.
"HA!" said the Ape before a large tooth was shoved into the barrel.
"Ya shouldn't play with gunz." said Bluddflag towering over the Ape.
"Oh, okay." said the Ape handing the overloading gun to Bluddflag.
"Thank ya. Oh! I just remembad! It's yer birthday, happy birthday!" said Bluddflag tossing the gun back to the Ape.
"Merry Christmas!"
"It ain't Christmas!"
"Happy Hanukkah!"
"It ain't Hanukkah!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yer potata!"
"Your potato!"
"Yers!"
"Yours!"
(At this point everyone is a safe distance from the two)
"Tree potata!"
"Four potato!"
"Five potata!"
"Six potato!"
"Six potataes more!"
"My..."
"...modda..."
"...told..."
"...me..."
"...you..."
"...ar..."
"...it..." said the Ape his ears drooping.
"HA! I win!" said Bluddflag as he held the now giant Plasma Pistol as it began glowing blue.
*EXPLOSION!*
Debris and dust are thrown from the blue cloud and once it clears, the Ape is nothing but a charred skeleton and Bluddflag gets up, dazed.
"It takes more dan dat to kill an Ork. *Groans*" said Bluddflag before he fell over unconscious.
" *Chuckles* Same old Bluddflag." said the female as she removed her leather helmet and Malefor's mouth dropped.
"W-Wala?" said Malefor shocked and the wolf/lioness turned towards him, confusion on her face.
"Do I know you?"
Wala is much taller, and looks much, much more feminine. She is more filled out and curved. Most of the speckles on her body and face faded away, but the remaining turned into streaks of red. The ones around her face are especially attractive. Wala's body is now proportionate to her broad face, so it no longer seems to be broad. In fact, it could be considered narrow. The baby fat seemed to disappear from her face, so it is nice and angular. The fur on her neck wasn't shaved like usual; and it no longer resembled a mane. It now looked more like a red scarf that was wrapped around her neck. Her limbs grew in proportion to her body, but her fingers are still slim and long. The fur on the back of her head is long and braided. Her muzzle has narrowed a bit, and looks even more like a wolf's. The points on the top of her head are a bit bigger, but her ears are still rounded. Currently she is wearing leather armor that covers most of her body but allows easy movement.
"Y-you don't r-recognize me?" said Malefor as tears began to form in his sapphire eyes.
Wala tilted her head to the left in confusion before her eyes widen as the purple dragon grabs her and pulls her into a hug as tears flow freely from his eyes.
"I'm sorry! I'm such a horrid friend! I should have kept looking! You have no idea how miserable I was!" said Malefor, not caring about his emotions being out for the world to see. Wala's eyes still show confusion before realization fills them.
"Malefor?!"
Malefor breaks the hug and nods.
"What happened to you? I mean, sure growth spurts are normal when aging, but you're pretty much a giant!"
"War can do that to you. Another thing, how do you know this Ork?"
"He and his war band saved me unlike somebody I know."
"Hey! I searched for you for five weeks, I didn't eat or drink during that whole time which is surprising because I should of died from dehydration...anyway, I was crushed and hurt because I thought I lost the only friend I ever had...you have no idea what it was like thinking something bad happened to you..."
"Okay, sorry. I guess seeing you two running away from the Apes while leaving me to fight for myself was...misleading..."
"We thought you were right behind us."
"I got cut off."
"Well, glad to see my friend is okay. One thing that confuses though..."
"What?"
"Why are Orks helping us?"
Suddenly the blue-green mask wearing man appears in a puff of smoke and gives a two-fingered wave with an eye-smile.
"I believe I can answer that." said Klaxon.
"Quit following me..." growled Malefor.
"I'm in this war too you know." said Klaxon crossing his arms before a hand is placed on his shoulder and a dragon's head with brownish-gold fur and scales leans down, red eyes looking at the masked man.
"Quit with the games gramps." growled the new dragon.
"NGH! Sorry, Klaww. Hah ha hah, I'll get straight to the point."
Wala and Malefor take steps away from "Klaww" as his demonic red eye, cybernetic left eye and three scars give them the creeps and he smiles, causing them to shiver.
"Fear is so much fun to put into people's hearts." said Klaww, his eyes gleaming before a fist hits him over the head.
"Knock it off runt!" said a bigger dragon as Klaww nursed his skull.
"Walnut-brain!"
"CAN YOU TWO LET ME EXPLAIN WHY THE ORKS ARE HELPING?!" yelled Klaxon at the two siblings.
Klaww and Fang: "Sorry."
+Flashback; Day Before; Dragon Council's Location+
"So why should me and my boyz help ya out?" said Bluddflag crossing his arms.
"You'll be able to fight the enemy on the front lines."
"Let me fink..."
Suddenly the masked man appears next to the Fire Councilman and whispers something in his ear.
"What? The guy would help for something like that? Are you kidding?" said the Councilman to the masked man.
"What ya talkin' bout? Ya plannin' to kill Bluddflag?" said Bluddflag.
"No. We've added...something to the deal."
"What this extra somefing?"
"Councliman Dirke's hat."
"WHAT?! I'm not giving up this hat for some kind of deal from these Orks!" said Dirke as he glared at the Fire Councilman. Dirke is the Earth Councilman, so technically your basic Earth Dragon. His hat looks like Barbossa's from Pirates of the Caribbean.
"Would you prefer him killing you for it because you couldn't keep your deal?" said the masked man leaning against the nearby wall and Dirke pales at the idea before he removes the hat as Bluddflag outstretches his giant hand with a gleam of joy in his eyes.
"Fine. Take the hat." said Dirke throwing it at Bluddflag who caught it easily.
"Okay. We Orkz will help ya out, but nobody tellz Orkz what to do, got it?" said Bluddflag and the Council nods.
Bluddflag turns around and walks out and all the council members turn towards the masked man.
"How'd you know he liked the hat?" said the Fire Councilman.
"The way he occasional glanced at it." replied the masked man shrugging.
"How'd you know he'd agree to help us?" said Dirke.
"A certain friend of mine is very specialized in Orks."
"Who is this 'friend'?"
"Alex the Chaos Dragon."
+END FLASHBACK+
"So that's why the Orks are helping? Over a hat?" said Malefor as his eye twitches.
"Yep." said Klaxon nodding.
"So who are the two fighting dragons behind you?"
"Those are my grandkids. FANG, KLAWW! KNOCK IT OFF!" said Klaxon to the two bickering brothers.
"He started it!" said Klaww pointing at Fang.
Klaww had brownish-gold fur and scales and black stripes running down his back with an orange underbelly, demonic red eyes, and three horns that curved back and down, and his tail didn't have a tail blade instead it was tuft of fluffy fur.
"You're the one whose become sadistic!" said Fang.
Fang is a giant who could easily tower over Terrador; he has gold scales and fur along with a tan underbelly, a fuzzy tail like his younger brother but it was black, gold eyes, and a thick black mane around his neck along with a goatee on his chin. His left eye was also a three tomoed Sharingan (1).
"Apes Incomin'!" yelled an Ork Slugga Boy.
"We continue this later. Drive Ape backs for now." said Klaxon and the rest nod and form a line behind the barricades the Orks cobbled together.
Bluddflag gets up and pulls out his Double Shoota as Apes begin charging.
"Fire!" yelled Bluddflag and Orks with guns open fire.
Suddenly Fang is covered completely in Ice and looks like an Ice Golem as he advances on the Apes and begins attacking them with Ice-based attacks; Ice Spikes, Ice Spike Balls, Blizzards, etc.
Malefor unleashes torrents of super-heated fireballs at the advancing Apes, incinerating many.
Red-black lightning from Klaww fried many Apes but soon the group had to go into melee battle with the Apes.
*Clashing Steel*
*Gun Fire*
*Cries of Dying Apes*
*Explosions*
*Blood Splattering*
*Roaring Flames*

The Corrupted Dragon who took Malefor's place will be revealed later.
