Here's the newest chapter for all you readers out there. It blows my mind just how popular this story is getting. I honestly expected almost no one to read my stories. You guys are awesome!

Chapter 11: Dammit Pelko!

Umbra and Voltage are walking to the cafeteria with their tails intertwined, just enjoying each other's company. The aspirin Dylan gave Voltage in his vision has done wonders for his headache. He can barely feel the hangover anymore.

The two lovebirds happily walked into the cafeteria, expecting to quietly get a bite to eat and then take their exams.

"THERE HE IS! HE'S THE ONE WHO SAVED ME LAST NIGHT!" Pelko shouted loudly as he pointed at Voltage.

Everyone in the cafeteria began clapping, cheering, and even whistling for Voltage and his success.

'Dammit, he knows I hate being the center of attention unless I'm on a stage.' Voltage thought angrily as he and Umbra awkwardly walked to the counter to get their food.

They both got their breakfast and sat down at their usual table. The mob of students eventually settled down and continued eating, but would still smile and thank Voltage whenever he came near one of them. As soon as the two lovebirds sat down, Voltage glared at the fear dragon.

"Dammit Pelko, what did you do?" he asked with a frown.

Pelko smiled broadly and leaned back in his seat.

"I told everyone about your heroic actions and saving me from my inevitable rape from Miss Rapes-a-Lot." the fear dragon answered.

"How did you know that Halu was holding Pelko hostage?" Petram asked with wide eyes.

Pelko's smile widened and he rested his wing over the pissed off black dragon's shoulders.

"Before Halu was able to gag me, Voltage here heard my cries for help and got the Guardians! He's a hero!" the fear dragon answered for Voltage.

Everyone at the table congratulated the frowning black dragon.

"Is that really how it happened?" Umbra whispered to Voltage.

"No." he mouthed while shaking his head.

Umbra raised an eyebrow, urging him to continue. Voltage made a hand gesture with one of his talons over his mouth.

'Beer…' she thought with a disapproving look, causing her lover to smile sheepishly.

All of a sudden the door slammed open. Culus and Crudelis stormed into the room and marched up to the former human.

"YOU! YOU GOT HALU EXPELLED!" Culus screamed in anger.

"Maybe your whore of a mate should have stuck with one dragon." Voltage said calmly, resulting in a bunch of ooooooo's from the other students.

The ice dragon's face is red with anger and he's shaking with rage.

"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS!" he screamed as he and Crudelis left.

Once again, the students cheered for Voltage. His right eye started to twitch in irritation.

"Congratulations Voltage, you're a celebrity like us now." Spyro said goofily, motioning to him and Cynder.

"Super." the black dragon grumbled while glaring at Pelko.

Culus and Crudelis stormed into the garden where they'd be alone.

"GAH! How could I have been beaten by a damn pansy?!" Culus yelled angrily.

Crudelis shrugged and looked to the right.

"You can come out now. No one is around." the earth dragon grunted.

Halu walked out of the bushes and stood by Culus' side.

"What are we going to do now?" she asked with her head down in shame.

"I don't know. Just let me think." the ice dragon grumbled.

He started to pace around the garden, trying to think of a plan.

'You will need my help to get your revenge." Culus heard a voice in his head.

"Who's there?" he called out, ignoring Crudelis and Halu's confused expressions.

'I am nowhere. I am speaking to you through your mind. I can give you the power you need to get the revenge you so greatly desire.' the dark voice answered.

"What do I need to do?" the ice dragon asked, hearing a chuckle from the voice.

'Unfortunately, I need more time to regain my power. It will take me about a week or two to regain my available power. You will wait until I call you." the voice told him.

"What about Halu? She can't stay here without getting arrested." Culus asked with a frown.

'Send her to the remains of the Mountain of Malefor. She will be safe there.' the voice commanded.

"Alright, it will be done." Culus said with a nod.

'Excellent.' The voice finished with a chuckle before it left.

Culus smiled darkly and turned to Halu.

"Go to the Mountain of Malefor. You will stay there for a week until me and Crudelis come for you.

"What!? Why there!?" she asked with worry all over her face.

"Because I told you to!" he barked.

Halu yelped and took a step back in surprise. The ice dragon sighed and walked up to her. He roughly grabbed her rear and started to squeeze it, making sure to poke her tail hole with one of his talons.

"Tell you what, you go and do as I ask, and I'll let you do whatever you want to me… in bed." he whispered into her ear hole.

Halu yelped from his approach, but smiled from his words and touch. She nodded with a toothy grin and took flight when he released her.

Culus chuckled and turned to Crudelis.

"Come on, we have worthless tests to take." he grunted as he walked away.

The earth dragon nodded and obediently followed his leader.

'Something's not right.' Crudelis thought seriously to himself.

Three hours have passed since breakfast and the incident with Culus. Voltage, Umbra, Spyro, and Cynder are walking out of the history class and making their way outside for their flying exam. While they were walking, Pelko joined them.

"How was your math exam, Pelko?" Cynder asked politely.

"Ugh… it was terrible, I wanted to bang my head against my desk until I passed out." he answered with a groan.

"Could've been worse. You could be tied to Halu's bed again." Umbra joked.

"It wasn't that bad. I just wish it was a different dragoness doing that to me…" the fear dragon sighed.

"You actually like that sort of thing?!" Spyro asked with slight disgust.

"Well… yeah. Who doesn't?" Pelko asked with a small grin.

Nobody answered him, but Cynder blushed and looked at the ground. Luckily for her, no one saw her.

Everyone shrugged as they walked outside. They all approached Ventus and the rest of their class to take their flying exam.

Basically, their test was to fly through various hoops and obstacles. The amount of time it took a dragon to finish the test determines their grade. It's also one of the easiest exams in the whole Temple.

Everyone took their turn and passed with flying colors. Once the exam was over, everyone went back inside. Unlike most school days, exam days only have two classes per day instead of three.

"Do you want to hang out with us, Voltage? We're going to get some iced cream." Spyro invited.

"Sorry guys, but Tenebris wants me to study in his room." the black dragon answered, not wanting to tell them why he has to go.

"Alright, we'll see you soon!" Umbra said with a small nuzzle before the group left.

'Why they can't just call it ice cream I'll never know.' the black electric dragon thought to himself.

Voltage sighed and walked to the writing room. It didn't take him long to get there and once he did, he entered without knocking.

"Hello Voltage. Take a seat." the Shadow Guardian said immediately as he was grading tests.

'The first time I ever have a drink and I get busted.' Voltage thought glumly as he took his seat.

He took out some of his notes and textbooks and began reading and studying.

Two hours went by and Tenebris still wouldn't let Voltage leave. The teenager has been studying none stop since he arrived and he can barely handle it anymore. When he thought he was about to lose his mind, Tenebris stood up.

"Alright Voltage, you may go now." the shadow dragon said tiredly.

Voltage sighed loudly in relief, packed away his things, and stood up. He was about to leave, but a question popped up in his head.

"Are Tavilla and Vex together?" he asked.

"How did you find that out?" Tenebris questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"They just seem very friendly towards each other." Voltage half lied.

The Shadow Guardian rolled his eyes and walked up to the teenager.

"If you have a question about someone, it's best to ask them yourself and not rely on others." Tenebris told him.

Voltage nodded and turned to leave.

"Wait one moment, I have one question to ask you." the Shadow Guardian said.

Voltage sighed quietly and turned around.

"What made you think that drinking would be a good idea?" Tenebris asked, honestly wanting to know.

"I gave into pear pressure, leave me alone." Voltage answered quickly before exiting the room.

Once he exited the writing room, he let out a heavy sigh.

"I'm so glad to be out of there." he said as he walked to the cafeteria.

Dinner has already passed, but the teenager wanted to get something in his belly before he turned in for the night. He entered the near empty cafeteria and walked up to the food stand.

"Hello sweetie. I didn't see you at dinner, would you like something to eat?" the mole asked kindly.

"Yeah, I'll just have whatever's left." Voltage smiled.

The mole nodded and gave him a tray with some meat, bread, and greens. Voltage thanked the kind lunch lady and took a seat at the table he usually sits at. A few minutes after he started eating, he saw Crudelis walk up to him. The big earth dragon is alone and he sat down across from Voltage.

"I need to talk to you." the earth dragon said sternly.

"Why should I care?" Voltage said with a frown.

"It's about Culus. I think he's going crazy or something." Crudelis answered seriously.

"…I'm listening." the black dragon said after a short pause.

"Me and our gang were talking about how to get revenge on you, but Culus started… talking to himself. Like there was someone else there. He asked it questions and it gave him orders or something." the earth dragon started.

"What kind of orders." Voltage urged.

"I'm not entirely sure, but he told Halu to go to the Mountain of Malefor for a week. Why he'd send her there of all places is beyond me." Crudelis answered.

Voltage let out a sigh and stood up.

"Why are you telling me all of this?" Voltage asked curiously with a frown.

"Look, I know that I can be a real bastard to everyone, but I'm not evil… and whatever Culus is planning… it's bad." Crudelis answered, also standing up.

"Alright… keep this quiet and keep me informed." the black dragon said.

"This conversation never happened." the earth dragon said with a stern nod.

"I don't even know who you are." Voltage smiled.

Crudelis smiled as well and left without a word. Voltage put away his empty tray and walked to his room to get some early sleep.

'I have my own spy. This is interesting.' he thought as he entered his room and locked it behind him.

He put his school supplies away and layed down on his bed. He pulled the blankets over himself and closed his eyes, allowing himself to fall into the lands of sleep.

Umbra and Tumma are hanging out with Petram in her room. They've been talking about various topics and the usual things teenage girls talk about. They've been talking for an hour now. Finally, Petram came up with a good topic to talk about.

"So Umbra, you and Voltage have been together for a long time. Have you two mated yet?" the earth dragoness asked with a toothy grin.

Umbra blushed heavily, but shook her head.

"No we haven't. I'm waiting for us both to be ready." she answered shyly.

"But you've been together for as long as me and Tumma have and we've done it multiple times." the earth dragoness said, causing Tumma to blush as well.

"Too much information." the shadow dragon mumbled.

"Look Umbra, you can't wait for everything. Sometimes you need to take charge and just go with the wind." Petram advised, waving her front paw in front of her.

"Just talk to him, If he truly loves you, then he'll be ready." Tumma added.

"Are you guys sure?" Umbra asked quietly.

"Positive." the two lovers nodded in unison while intertwining their tails.

Umbra sat there in thought for awhile. Finally, she looked at her friends with a small smile.

"I'll talk to him tomorrow night." she decided.

Both Tumma and Petram patted Umbra on the back with approving nods.

Halu has been flying for hours now. She's been thinking about everything that's happened within the last forty-eight hours. She's been thinking about how she got caught, how she was punished, and how strange Culus was acting.

She finally reached the mountain and landed on a small platform. There is a small cave on the end of the platform and she entered it, wanting to get inside and relax.

The cave turned out to be a ruined hallway with skeletons of apes lying around. The whole area is covered in cracks and black splotches were there were fires.

"This is where Spyro stopped the ape army." she realized.

She sat on what looked like a bench or chair and looked at the ground, thinking about her life.

'Why is this happening to me? All I want to do is pleasure men. I don't mean to hurt them, but they always take my approaches the wrong way.' she thought, feeling tears come to her eyes

She sat there in silence, letting her emotions get the better of her.

'It's all Voltage's fault. If he just let me pleasure him, none of this would've happened. I just wanted to make him happy! What's so bad about that!? I'm not a bad dragoness!' she thought with rage.

'It's a pity isn't it?' she heard a dark voice.

"Who… who's there?" she asked fearfully.

'A friend.' The voice answered.

Her eyes widened when she realized the voice was coming from her head. She curled up in a ball and started to shake.

"What do you want from me?" she whispered in fear, hearing the voice chuckle in response.

'I want your help.' the voice said almost cheerfully.

'I want you to do everything I tell you. In return… I will reward you greatly.' the voice added.

"What kind of reward?" Halu asked, still slightly afraid by the unknown voice.

'I will give both you and Culus power beyond your imagination. I will also let you do whatever you wish to Voltage.' the voice answered with a chuckle.

"R… really?" the wind dragoness asked with joy and hope.

'I promise.' the entity assured, follwed by an evil laugh.
