Chapter 8: The secret weapon

"Let's go Dark Dragon! It's you against all of us!" Rose stated clearly.

"Hmmmmm..." The Dark Dragon considered his options carefully. Before him were magical creatures, ready to give their lives just for the sake of saving their home, their families, heck even the entire world. "True, you stand in mighty numbers..." He spoke, "However, your measly powers are not even worth my time." A quick snap of his claws triggered a typhoon that ripped through the city, sending anything in its path flying. The dark clouds brewed over the land and the sunlight withdrew quickly. As if sensing the change in battle plans, the Hell army resurfaced but only a tiny amount.

"Hang on! Shit, those dead skeletons are back again!" Some of the dragons linked together hand in hand against the typhoon while others sheltered the injured. The harsh winds whipped around as debris flew in all direction.

"This doesn't look good!" Rose shouted over the howling. "We have to figure out a way to calm this down!"

"I know!" Jake held her tight, "But how are we supposed to do? The moment our wings are out, we are vulnerable to these winds. We consume energy when flying and flying against this type of weather is hazardous."

"Look here, Jake." Trixie spoke as she hunkered down beneath Yuki's wings. The white dragon used her four wings as a shield for some of the humans. "This might be the worst possible situation we are facing but you know what? We've dealt with things more serious than this."

"This is the Dark Flippin Dragon we are talking here!" Jake yelled. "I KNOW there is a WAY to BEAT him but right NOW I'm out of IDEAS!"

"Well that's TOO bad. We might as WELL get blown AWAY, I mean it's not like the Dark Dragon is God Almighty, there's not enough room for all of the dragons here on Earth especially since he rose one more, he should have his own REALM to reside in."

"Wait…that's it! Trixie, you are a genius!" Jake smiled as a plan started to form.

"I am?" Trixie asked with a confused face.

"Yes, you have given me a great idea!" Jake grinned before whispering to Rose. She looked up in surprise.

"Jake, we haven't used that thing since the chimera from our dreams. I'm not even sure what happened to it."

"I left it in a secret place behind the shop. Only Gramps and I know that the place exist."

"But with the Dark Dragon here, who will go and retrieve it? Besides, he might have spies lurking around." Rose looked around wearily.

"I'll go." Yuki spoke from where she crouched. "In the mean time, you have to keep our enemy occupied."

"I'll keep her company." Spud offered. "I'll help keep her on track."

"Alight then. You two go now quickly. Everyone else, get ready for battle." Jake spoke to those around him. The Dark Dragon chuckled as he watched the army below him.

"There is no chance of your survival, you will fall to your demise and soon the whole world will follow."

"We'll see about that! Come on Jake." Rose got up and took off running through the alleyways with Jake right on her heels, his eyes focused on Rose the entire time.

"Hey Dark Dragon! How about a game of tag? Cause you're it!"

"Grrrrr get back here!" Roaring in surprise and anger, the Dark dragon flew off after the retreating figures.

"Go! Go! Go!" Fu Dog whispered as the army of magical creatures split up to followed close behind the Dark Dragon's shadowy figure. "We'll keep the Dark Dragon occupied for the time being. When you have retrieved that item, meet us by the bridge downtown, we should have the beast cornered and ready for capture." Yuki and Spud nodded before slinking away to the shop.


LaoShi's Shop…...

The door swung open with a creak as Yuki and Spud moved to the back of the building.

"Do you know where Jake stashed the thing?" Spud asked as he looked at a crystal skull with interest. "I mean, I don't have a very good memory, going so far as to not even remembering that it's my grandma's birthday today."

"Perhaps after this battle you'll go and give her a call, it'll probably make her happy." Yuki responded.

"Yeah I guess."

"I found it." Yuki spoke as she carefully pushed against a small brick wall; a small hidden tunnel appeared at the end of the path. Crawling through, they ended up in a huge cavern; the moss-covered ferns glowed vividly against the poor lighting.

"One moment…here we go." Placing a fireball within her claws, she led the way down the long tunnel.

"Woooow!" Spud gasped at the paintings on the walls, it reminded him of the Native American paintings he learned in history class with Rotwood.

"Spud, can you reach in here and grab the item? I have to hold the light otherwise we'll be walking in darkness." Yuki smiled as Spud stepped up and reached inside this small container. Finding what he was searching for, he took out what looks like a jug.

"So this is where it has been all this time?! No wonder I couldn't find it after our dream scape trip." Spud grinned as he hugged the item.

"That's true though I don't really know what it is exactly." Yuki looked at it curiously.

"I'd love to explain but I'm not really that good at it. Let's hurry back to the others." Closing the lid tightly, the two of them made their way out of the tunnel and looked around. The little alleyway was deserted, not a soul in sight...strike that, the medical clinic was still standing there. Walking over, Spud stuck his head in for a peek.

"I thought we would find ourselves within a war zone, luckily the wounded soldiers are still here resting. They will be fine without us here." Spud scratched his head as he withdrew his head from the tent.

"Oh!" Yuki clasped her hands together. "I remember, we have to meet everyone by the bridge downtown, that's where they will have the Dark Dragon cornered. "

"Right! Now how do we get there? If I had to guess, it would take us a lot of time just to run there and believe me that bridge downtown is quite a long way."

"Hang on then Spud."

"Huh? What are you-!" Spud didn't get to finish his sentence when Yuki grabbed him and unfurled her wings. Beating her wings powerfully, she rose up and started to hover over the haze.

"This is AWESOME! I've never felt so exhilarated before!" Spud clutched on tight as he looked over the city.

"Really? That's surprising."

"Well there was that time Jake gave me a ride once, ran into some Trolls and yeah...it wasn't pretty. Oh I see the bridge Fu mentioned, it's over there!" Spud pointed towards the looming structure in the distance.

"Let's go then, everyone is waiting for us."
