Sorry for not updating. I just came out of the hospital and I cannot stop reading Fell, sequel to 'The Sight'. And I think people are loosing interest in my fic…oh well.

"Nowe, what the hell was that for!?" Ignitus roared in anger.
It all had happened in a matter of five seconds. Ignitus shot the fireball, Cynder rushed to aid Terrador even though she knew she would never make it, Cyril shot an ice block at Nowe, who blocked it and sent it at the fireball the Ignitus fired, making it disappear.
"Our orders were not to kill anyone…" Nowe replied as he put away his sword.
"Since when do you follow orders!?" Ignitus growled in frustration.
"Since you stopped."
Cynder was completely confused. Why was Nowe acting against Ignitus? As all these questions buzzed around in her head, a voice spoke in her head.
"Quickly Cynder, get out of here. I'll stall him and direct his attention away from Terrador and the others." Nowe told her as Cynder looked in awe. Not only was Nowe defying Ignitus, but he was doing it to aid her!
"What made you defy your orders, Ignitus?" Nowe asked as he walked around Ignitus, making him turn away from Cynder, who was creeping towards the others.
"What is making you ask?" Ignitus asked as he moved away from Terrador and looked at Nowe.
"Well, you always followed your orders blindly, so I want to know why you stopped so suddenly." Nowe replied as Cynder crept towards Terrador.
"Cynder…what are you…?" Terrador asked weakly.
"Nowe is distracting Ignitus away from us so we can get out of here. I'll get the others to aid you." Cynder told him as she crept towards the others.
As she came closer, she heard Ignitus talk once more: "well Nowe, I never thought you would do something so noble…perhaps we should let your new 'friends' know something…"
"You wouldn't…" she heard Nowe reply as she reached Cyril.
"Cyril, as you can tell, Nowe is distracting Ignitus so we can get out of here. Could one of you get…my father from here?" Cynder asked him, feeling uncomfortable about referencing Terrador as her father. It felt so strange to her knowing that she had a family member that she can be with.
Cyril nodded and went to pick up the weakened Terrador as Volteer and Sparx followed Cynder to the entrance to the room. Just as they were going to reach it, a large wall of flames flew up and prevented them from leaving.
"SO! You thought you could distract me so Cynder could escape, eh Nowe?!" Ignitus roared as the entire room became an inferno. The heat got under Cynder's scales and she felt as though she herself would ignite from the heat.
Nowe said nothing but drew his sword into a defensive stance. He knew that he would be punished severely for not only attempting to aid Cynder, but fight his partner.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN FIGHT ME!? COME, I SHALL SHOW YOU THE FLAMES OF HELL!" Ignitus yelled, the flames around him forming a type of armor and engulfing his entire body in flames.
Ignitus charged Nowe with surprising speed and sent him flying through the wall with so much velocity that his body flew thru the wall and skidded into the other chamber. Ignitus roared once more and shot like a rocket after Nowe, flames flaring out from behind him.
To Cynder, it happened in a split second, but she heard fighting coming from the other chamber, but she was petrified to even move, in case the flames Ignitus shed swallowed her.
"I honestly don't know whether to hope that Nowe wins or Ignitus…" Cyril commented dryly as the fighting from the other room continued.
"Me neither, my friend. If Ignitus wins, it spells doom for us all. However, if Nowe wins, he may spare us and buy us some time to gather a resistance to Draco and his army. And by the sounds of the fight…it is to the death. I cannot tell who is winning, but I suppose we should try and escape here while we can…" Volteer agreed as he began searching for an exit.
"Hey, how about you use your ice mumbo jumbo and make the flames go away, Mr. Freeze!" Sparx suggested as he poked Cyril's shoulder.
"Very well, can someone take Terrador off of me so I can do this?" Cyril asked. Volteer padded over and took Terrador when Cyril lowered himself so Volteer could grab him.
No sooner then when Volteer picked up Terrador, a blast of flame erupted from the other chamber and Nowe was sent flying into the wall, his sword impaling him.
"IS THAT ALL, NOWE?! YOU WERE WEAL, AND THUS LED TO YOUR DEATH!" Ignitus roared in triumph as he turned to Cynder and the others. "YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE ME!? I'LL KILL YOU ALL!"
"Oh crap." Was all Sparx could say as the former fire guardian descended upon them.
As Ignitus came closer, Cynder felt strength flooding her veins and she charged towards him. As she charged him, she felt coldness rising in her and she released it, causing a blast of ice from her mouth.
Ignitus looked horrified at the ice blast heading towards him, when a shadow dropped down from the ceiling and landed on the ground, completely obliterating the inferno and Cynder's blast.
"What is going on here, Ignitus? It was a simple task, and even for a child…" the shadow said as Ignitus bowed to it. The shadow was draconic and had piercing red eyes that could paralyze the strongest of souls.
"Forgive me, master, but we had a…traitor…" Ignitus hissed with distain to the fallen body of Nowe.
"I see…but why could you not kill her? Instead, you killed your comrade, why is that?" questioned the shadow.
Cynder was confused. Who was this person, and why did Ignitus seem so humble to him? Beside her, Volteer and Cyril growled slightly, but it still alerted the apparition.
"What do we have here? Ignitus, you never told me you had the others! What shall I do with them…?" the shadow hissed as it glided towards them.
Cynder had never felt so afraid in her entire life. There was something about this shadow that send shiver's down her spine and then she looked up at its eyes, which was a bad mistake. The eyes sent tremors down her spine and she could not pull away, no matter how much she wanted too. Its eyes showed death, and visions that would kill the weaker of wills.
"Who are you…?" Cynder asked in a quiet, weak voice that trembled.
"I am known as…Draco, my dear. And I know you are Cynder…it's hard to believe that such a pest like you could cause so much trouble…" Draco trailed off.
"Impossible…!" Volteer whispered, attracting the attention of Draco.
"Not quite, or else I wouldn't be here, would I?" Draco answered, a grin full of ivory fangs showing.
"What happened to you, Draco?" Cyril asked.
"…I met him a few months ago." Draco replied, an awkward glint in his eyes appearing.
"Who?" Cynder asked. Judging on the glint in his eyes, it was someone that he himself served.
"I shall not reveal it…yet. However…" the black dragon replied as he stared directly at Cynder. But it wasn't directly at her…it was at her soul. She felt a huge blast of pain, then the world faded to black…
I'm a bit rough on this, since I took a break at the hospital. However, I have a question: do you think that the song 'Never Too Late' by Three Days Grace would work at the end of TEN? Post it in your reviews, and I will put it on my account if you never heard of it. Also, I will post the 'Broken Soul' song on my profile as well if you wanna listen to it.
