Crossfire
Kimiko opened her eyes in a rush. Her spastic eyeballs flew around, checking her surroundings. She shivered uncontrollably. Her body ached in pain from the pure numbness she felt. Her lips were blue, as her teeth clattered together. It hurt to breathe, it hurt to move, and it hurt to think. She moaned in pure anguish, wanting to cry away her troubles. She cursed Chase in her mind, feeling it was the only thing she could do at the moment.
She was in some sort of icebox, surrounded with nothing but ice and chill. She had absolutely no heat running through her body. She couldn't use her fire…and she was pretty sure that's why Chase put her here. The confinement was small, as she lay huddled in a tight ball. A small bucket of water that hung above her, poured on her frail body, as she cringed in pain. Everything around her was frozen metal, as bits and pieces of shaved ice grew on the walls slowly. Any normal person would've obviously died already, but considering she wasn't normal, this was just plain torture.
She tried not to think about the fact that she was literally freezing, and focused more on her friends. She was clearly at Chase's lair, but where specifically, she didn't know. She had no idea he could be so clever as to use this sort of thing on her; it was working perfectly. She figured the others would be somewhere confined against their natural abilities as well. However, she suspected they weren't being abused like she was; at this point, she knew Chase was out to get her.
She wanted to scream for help, but she knew that would be utterly pointless. Besides the fact that she could barely mumble an audible word, she doubted anyone was near her. She was all alone, confined in a small, dangerous space that would probably kill her eventually, if she were ever forgotten. All she could do was close her eyes and hope for the best, but she knew that was hopeless as well.
Just when she did think closing her eyes might be a successful idea, she suddenly heard someone unlatching the locks. A few locks were snapped open, as someone heaved the sliding metal door open. She didn't get a good look at the figure, for it was dark on the outside. She silently hoped it was Raimundo, being her knight and shining armor to come to her rescue, but the hands that grabbed her were small and dainty, as they pulled her out into the heated room. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief, feeling her energy and heat slowly return to her. Though she didn't stop shivering, the small amount of warmth was still pleasurable.
Kimiko looked up at her savior, suddenly shocked and confused. Ashley was standing over her, rubbing her arms to help her out. Kimiko was suddenly speechless, entirely shocked to see her here.
"I figured you'll need a few minutes to recover, but we still need to hurry," Ashley said, looking behind her and checking on the door.
"W-what the h-hell?" she stammered, still shaking.
"You're shocked, I get it. Look I'll explain later, but for right now we need to hurry. I need to show-"
Ashley was stopped mid-sentence, as Kimiko lunged at her, pinning her against the wall. One hand was lit on fire, with a fearful Ashley underneath her other hand that was around her small neck. Kimiko looked as if she was ready to kill, while Ashley tried to collect her jumbled thoughts at once. She didn't think Kimiko would recover that quickly.
"What are you doing?" Ashley asked as calmly as she could, her tone annoyed and harsh.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't burn your slinky eyes out of their sockets right now!"
"I'm trying to help you!" Ashley retorted loudly.
"Why? What's in it for you? Did Chase put you up to this?" Kimiko interrogated further.
"No, he didn't! This is all me!" Ashley yelled, grabbing Kimiko's hand that was on her neck to ease some slack. "Calm down!"
"Calm down! You want me to calm down? Most of my teenage years was you trying to kill me! And now that you help me for one split second, you expect me to calm down and trust you?" Kimiko bellowed, narrowing her bright eyes into Ashley's dark ones.
"Obviously this doesn't make sense, but I just need you to hear me out for two minutes!
"How do I know this isn't some trap!" Kimiko growled, as Ashley suddenly broke down uncontrollably.
"Look at me, Kimiko! Just look at me!" Ashley screamed at the top of her lungs. Kimiko's face suddenly softened, noting that Ashley was on the verge of tears. Her short blonde hair was disheveled, there were dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep, and her body in general felt weak and fatigued. Kimiko could feel small shudders of tremors roll down her body. "Does it really look like I'm setting you up for a trap?"
Kimiko took her hand off Ashley's neck, while calming down the fire lit on her hand. Ashley rubbed her neck with irritation, mumbling muffled words. Kimiko simply stood in front of her, suddenly very confused, while sticking her hands on her hips skeptically.
"You have a lot of explaining to do, Katnappe," Kimiko said, narrowing her eyes tighter.
"Yes, I understand that, but right now we need to leave for just a few minutes. I need to show you something," Ashley, suddenly taking out the Changing Chopsticks. She took a few small items out of her utility belt, using the Changing Chopsticks to enlarge them. Kimiko didn't even have time to ask questions, for Ashley worked fast. She shoved a belt around Kimiko's waist, tying it tight around her small frame.
"The Ninja Sash?" Kimiko questioned, looking up at Ashley.
"Just use it," Ashley commanded, getting a little annoyed of Kimiko's questioning. Kimiko followed what she said, creating a duplicate of herself. Ashley pushed the duplicate Kimiko into the freezer, shutting it tightly. "Now put this over you." Ashley handed her the Shroud of Shadows. "Jack has cameras all over the place. This should take care of that." Kimiko followed Ashley's orders once more, putting the shroud over her. "Don't talk till we get to my room. After that, I'll tell you everything."
"Ok then," Kimiko replied, a little anxious.
"And by the way, don't call me Katnappe. It's Ashley from now on," Ashley said, unlatching the door and walking out. Kimiko followed right behind her, making no sound whatsoever. She glanced at all the dark walls of the many halls they ventured down. They crossed the bridge of the inner sanctum, completely different from the dark halls. The room glowed with a natural beauty as the waterfalls poured down and misted the large room. The jungle cats ran up to Ashley, as she smiled fondly and petted them tenderly. After getting away from the animals, Ashley turned down one more hall and stopped at a door. She opened it, letting Kimiko in first. She shut the door and locked it immediately. Kimiko took off the shroud, taking in her surroundings.
"You actually did it. I'm shocked," Dyris commented, causing Kimiko to jump. Dyris was casually lying on Ashley's bed, refraining as much as she could to not touch Ratha, who was purring for Dyris to pet her. Kimiko's mouth hung open for a moment.
"What the hell!" she shrieked, staring at Dyris's long slender legs.
"She's been saying that a lot today," Ashley droned, listening for voices from the vent above her. "We're good with time. Only Guan is there…"
"Chase is probably checking up on the guys," Dyris sighed, making a disgusted face at Ratha, who was trying to snuggle against her. Ashley narrowed her eyes, picking up Ratha and sitting down in a chair. Kimiko looked at Dyris longingly when she mentioned Chase checking up on her friends.
"Do you want to sit?" Ashley asked to Kimiko, who was completely perplexed.
"No, I don't want to sit! I want some answers now! I want to know why you brought me here! I want to know where my friends are! I want to know why the hell she isn't a fish anymore, and I want to know why you are being so nice and not trying to kill me!" Kimiko yelled.
"Not so loud, woman!" Ashley shouted in a whisper, as Dyris grinned wider. She got off the bed slowly, sauntering over to Kimiko and examining her up and down. Kimiko was ready to attack if Dyris pulled something.
"The stories are true…you are beautiful. No wonder Chase can't stop thinking about you," Dyris smiled with a giggle, turning around and walking back to the bed. Kimiko's eye managed to twitch in annoyance, wondering why these girls weren't giving her a straight answer.
"I'll talk about why the fish doesn't have a tail later, but for now I'll explain why I brought you here and why I'm not trying to kill you, as you put it," Ashley began, petting her purring cat. "We've got time anyway."
"Time before what?" Kimiko asked.
"Before the Evil Four have their meeting. Ashley has been spying on them ever since her 'changed' personality," Dyris explained.
"I'll tell you what their plan is after, so you're not confused," Ashley added.
"So you've changed….you've been evil most of your life. I don't get how a person can just change so suddenly. Last time I saw you, we were practically killing each other over a stupid shen gong wu," Kimiko said, staring at her skeptically. Dyris chuckled, shaking her head and picking up a magazine.
"There have bee serious…changes. I mean, you have to understand, I certainly didn't want to do this forever. And a lot of the old villains obviously matured and went on with their lives…" Ashley tried to explain, plainly thinking of the right words to say. Kimiko eyed her suspiciously.
"And…?"
Dyris giggled some more, knowing Kimiko didn't believe her statement.
"Does there have to be more?" Ashley said with annoyance.
"No…it just seems too simple," Kimiko shrugged, finally taking a seat slowly. She was quiet for a moment, trying her best to hide her grin. Dyris narrowed her eyes at Kimiko's muteness. "And the fact that I can feel two hearts beating within you." Dyris suddenly burst into laughter, as Ashley's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed furiously.
"Well then…" Ashley scoffed, standing up with Ratha and walking toward her mirror and dresser.
"I'm guessing it was Jack…" Kimiko grinned with a giggle. "I thought you looked a little-"
"A little what?" Ashley narrowed her eyes threateningly. Kimiko shook her head, shutting up immediately. A woman never wants to hear how plump she's getting, enemy or not.
"I know what's happening," she sighed harshly. "But can't you see why it's time to grow up? Kimiko, I'm sick of fighting. I'm sick of this stupid war, and I am sick of always being tired, afraid, and alone. It needs to end."
"Thank you. I can now see where you're coming from…and I believe you," Kimiko said, finally getting some closure. "We'll just…forget the past and look forward to the future." Ashley nodded, already forgetting the harsh moments she had shared with Kimiko. "So where are my friends?"
"They're tied up in the Playroom being watched by most of Chase's feline pets. They're receiving the royal treatment compared to what you got handed to you. " Dyris jumped in.
"And obviously knowing what Clay can do to his own lair, Chase is having him remain unconscious till the time comes. The other two are awake, just heavily binded. Hannibal goes in there every so often to taunt Raimundo," Ashley further explained.
"I wouldn't mind taunting him either," Dyris smiled seductively, licking her lips. Ashley shook her head in amusement, but Kimiko glared indifferently. "So hot. I don't know how you can live with yourself… "
"Anyway, it was hard planning on getting you out of your freezer box, considering Wuya would not leave. She found an immense amount of pleasure watching you suffer," Ashley continued, rolling her eyes at the mention of Wuya.
"Psycho bitch," Dyris mumbled. Kimiko couldn't help but giggle. Ashley's ears suddenly perked up, looking up at the vent and sniffing the air. Kimiko stared at her strangely, feeling odd because Dyris acted as if it was a normal thing. "She's a cat, remember?" Dyris blurted.
"It's time," Ashley began, putting down Ratha and taking out another wu. She stated clearly, "Saar of Silence." She pointed the small amulet at Kimiko, silencing her entire being. "Try to keep up." Ashley flipped up to the vent with ease, slipping through it perfectly. Kimiko smirked, following her exact moves and gliding through the vent. She followed Ashley, turning a few corners here and there. As she got closer, she finally heard the voices of many people. Chase's was the clearest and angriest. Typical.
They stopped at the front of the vent, looking down at the scene. Wuya, Guan and Hannibal were sitting at the table, while Chase angrily paced back and forth. The group was silent for a moment, as all of them watched Chase walk heatedly.
"Can you please explain to me how they were able to beat you so easily!" Chase screamed loudly, causing an echo to voice throughout the room. The three villains flinched.
"Easily? We had them running," Hannibal defended.
"Running? Running! Raimundo had you pinned to the ground, Bean!" Chase bellowed. "You call that running?" Chase grabbed a chair and threw it across the room. "I expect you to grind them into dust! I expect you to choke them till they suffocate! I expect you to smash them till they bleed to death! What did you do? You lost! How can we triumph if you can't even win!" Chase managed to axe kick straight down into the table, breaking it off into pieces. He growled loudly, as a tail slithered down and his fangs grew larger. He walked away from the table, leaning his head on the wall. The room was silent once more.
Guan gulped slowly, "We obviously underestimated them. At least, I did not expect them to be so capable after this much time."
"It's your own damn fault Chase! We could've have just killed them in the beginning!" Hannibal yelled.
"Then their abilities would be useless! We want them to be as sufficient as possible!" Chase shouted once more, beyond annoyed with their stupidity. The room was quiet once more. Kimiko stared in silence, confused at what Chase was talking about. "I want their heads mounted on my wall…"
"Then we cheat…" Wuya finally spoke up. All eyes turned on her. "We can beat them if we focus. Last time was a failure because we were thinking too much, automatically making us the losers. This time, we exploit their weaknesses." She stood up, looking everyone in the eye while sauntering slowly to Chase. "We cause them pain mentally and emotionally. We make them beg for mercy and death! We become the superior ones, crushing them like the pathetic insects they are!" She touched Chase's shoulder gently, gazing into his cold eyes seductively. "We will win."
His face remained the same, keeping the same composure, but cooling down from his manic episode. Hannibal grinned with excitement, nodding his head in agreement. Guan nodded as well, knowing he could not be defeated once he was up against Clay again.
"Stimulating speech," Chase responded flatly.
"Arousing, wasn't it?" she smiled at him. He ignored her, taking her hand off his shoulder.
"I shall make the plans then. Either way, if one fails or succeeds, each deserves to die nonetheless. You better not disappoint," Chase finished, briskly walking out of the room and slamming the doors. Wuya smiled in satisfaction.
"Once I obtain the fire, Chase won't be able to resist any longer," she mumbled to herself.
"In your dreams, witch. The only thing he's interested right now, is himself," Hannibal spoke. "You should do the same."
"It's going to be a desolate world without anybody, Roy. You have to think about these things while you still can," Wuya directed, taking a seat. Guan rolled his eyes while the two continued to banter.
Ashley gestured to Kimiko, as her feline body turned around perfectly and quietly moving down the vent. Kimiko had to admit, she wasn't as graceful as Ashley, as she watched her move swiftly through every turn. Finally, they came up to her room, as Ashley jumped out and landed on the ground, crouching like a cat. Kimiko followed her, jumping down and landing on her feet. Dyris was still reading a magazine on Ashley's bed.
"Saar of Silence," Ashley spoke, pointing the wu at Kimiko, causing her voice to return.
"I'm even more confused now," Kimiko said, taking a seat.
"It's a confusing process," Dyris spoke.
"Chase wants your powers," Ashley said, as Kimiko gave her an incredulous look.
"That's impossible."
"Apparently not. During a Xiaolin Showdown, if your opponent wagers your element and wins, then that power will belong to the victor. It's the same thing with shen gong wu."
"No way, I don't believe it. You can't just gamble your ability away as if it's some artifact."
"It's an ancient legend, but Chase believes it to be real…and it is."
"That can't be…"
"Oh it's true, honey. It's more than true," Dyris joined in, putting down the magazine and looking up at her. "How do you think I got these gorgeous legs?"
"What…? He took your abilities?" Kimiko repeated, now realizing how Dyris got the way she was. Kimiko suddenly snapped, "Or did you just lose the showdown on purpose and give them to him willingly?"
"My life was on the line," Dyris shot back, offended. "You would've done the same."
"No, I wouldn't…" Kimiko replied darkly. Ashley sighed, stepping in between the two before they attacked each other.
"That's why Chase has some power over water. It's not much and nearly not as powerful as Omi's, but he thinks he'll gain more when he has both. That's his plan; he will try to take the power from Omi, Guan from Clay, Hannibal from Raimundo, and Wuya from you. It's always been coordinated this way."
Kimiko sat down and slumped in her chair, burying her face in her hands. She wasn't expecting something as drastic as this was ever going to happen.
"My father always used to tell me when I was born, I had caused a small candle to erupt into a large fire dragon that scared most of the doctors and nurses," she said solemnly. "My point is…I was born with this gift. It chose me for a reason…I can never let it get in the hands of someone else."
"Well it's Wuya…not much of a competition," Ashley responded.
Kimiko shook her head, "No, when she wants something, she'll go to the ends of the earth to get it. I used to have nightmares of her taking over the earth again, while she trapped us and left us with nothing. I'm scared of her, and she knows it. She's always affected me that way. She will cause me pain to get what she wants."
"Don't let her. If you guys are half the dragons you're supposed to be, then his battle will be easy. I'm just afraid for Omi having to deal with Chase himself."
"I have a plan, and it's stupid and reckless, but it might work," Kimiko said.
"I'm listening…" Ashley replied, growing interested.
"We turn them against each other. Right now, they barely get along with one another. If we add a little controversy, then they will be fighting and that will give us the upper hand," Kimiko explained.
"Sounds fun," Dyris exclaimed.
"How are we going to do that, though?" Ashley asked.
"Leave that to me…I've got something in mind, and it's not going to be fun, but I have to do it," Kimiko responded, sighing at the end. "All this for our stupid abilities. They're not even that great."
"Don't say that. Do you know what it means to have power like you?" Ashley cooed, walking up to her. "Kimiko, you're the most powerful woman I know. Having your power would be a great aspect to acquire. You just have to be brave."
"And wait for your other power to finally kick in," Dyris added. Kimiko looked up at her in surprise.
"How did you know about that?"
"I've read the scrolls; Chase showed me."
"What ability?" Ashley asked.
"All four dragons have a secret power that's been welled up inside them, waiting to be released at the right time. Apparently, it relates to your power now, but refrains from helping you out until the right moment. It's a total tease," Dyris explained. "And really interesting."
"Don't forget useless. How am I supposed to figure it out if it doesn't communicate with me at all?" Kimiko asked.
"I guess that's the point. You must figure it out, yourself," Ashley muttered, thinking. "Then this is great! If you figure out what it is, then we can totally win this thing!"
"You obviously don't know how long I've been trying to figure it out…" Kimiko sighed. "The other's have no idea either…"
"Well Omi's is easy, if it relates to water, but yours is tricky," Dyris commented.
"You know what Omi's is?" Kimiko asked flatly, completely shocked.
"Well I had some power over water, I think I would know something. Give me some credit," Dyris replied. "He has to figure it out on his own, though…I can't tell you."
"Like I'd have a chance to tell him anyway," Kimiko muttered, once again thinking of the safety of her friends. "They're okay, right? Still breathing like they're supposed to?"
"They're fine, just sort of hanging out with barely any food or water…" Ashley paused hesitantly, wondering if it was the right time to bring the subject up. "Raimundo keeps asking for you…" Kimiko's body tensed, as she looked at Ashley longingly. "Naturally, no one is giving him a straight answer, so he's freaking out."
"I don't know how you've managed to suffer this long without him," Dyris sighed, making a love struck face. "It's so obvious how he feels for you..."
Kimiko shook her head, "I'm just…stupid. I think one thing, and then my mind changes the next. I'm…I'm too selfish and afraid."
"Afraid of what?" Ashley asked.
"Rejection…embarrassment…denial…the list goes on forever."
"I know what you mean," Ashley replied, looking down sadly at her hands. "You feel like a loser, knowing they are probably better off without you." Kimiko looked at her sadly, walking up to her and putting a hand on her shoulder.
"You love Jack, don't you?"
"I think I've always have…but I fell in love with the man he used to be, not what he's become now. And trust me when I say he is better off without me."
Kimiko was quiet for a while, taking in her words. After a few moments, she said, "Before I go back to Japan, I will tell Raimundo I love him. I don't know how or when, but he will know how I feel about him when this is all over. He must know…"
Ashley nodded, knowing Kimiko was secretly telling her that she should do the same. Just thinking of Jack knowing the truth about her feelings, he would probably lash out at her for being weak and stupid. She sighed deeply, finally saying, "I better take you back. The least amount of time you're out here, the better." She once again took out the Shroud of Shadows, handing it over to Kimiko.
"How do you have so much shen gong wu anyway?" Kimiko questioned.
"It's my job to watch over them and keep them safe. Ironic, isn't it?" she giggled lightly in reply, opening her door. Kimiko put the shroud over herself, as her body suddenly disappeared.
"Good luck, inferno," Dyris called out, waving her off.
They ventured through Chase's lair once more, crossing different paths and turning many corners. Finally, they came to the door, as Ashley peered inside carefully and sniffed the air for any unwanted guests.
"We're clear," Ashley whispered, letting Kimiko in. "I'm surprised Wuya isn't here yet." Kimiko took off the shroud, frowning at the icebox. "Don't worry, I'll bring the temperature up. Do you have a preference?"
"30 degrees is fine. Anything under that, I have trouble managing," Kimiko replied with a smile, as Ashley walked over to the back of the metal container and turning a knob. She then opened the door and pulled out the duplicate of Kimiko, causing her to disappear when she pulled the sash off Kimiko. Ashley opened the door, as Kimiko stepped in and sat down, managing the chill much better than before.
"I don't know when Chase plans on removing you guys for his final plans, but I'll visit you frequently when Wuya isn't," Ashley assured, closing the door slowly.
"Ashley…" Kimiko began, causing her to stop. "Thank you." Ashley nodded, shutting the door and locking it. She swiftly picked up the shen gong wu, used the Changing Chopsticks to put them back in her utility belt, and ran out. She walked along, now heading in a different direction than her room. She crossed the bridge, coming to another part of the lair, stopping in front of two large doors.
She opened it, revealing the Playroom with Raimundo strapped securely to the wall, while Omi hung from the tall ceiling, rope wrapped around him tightly. Clay's unconscious body was still, lying on a platform with his legs and wrists restrained by metal cuffs. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was Jack, sitting in a chair while eating some junk food, loving the sight in front of him, taunting Raimundo and Omi.
"Well look what the cat dragged in…literally," Raimundo scoffed, watching her slowly saunter over. The jungle cats immediately sprang forward, loving her presence while purring and snuggling up next to her. She pet them lovingly, smiling from their affection towards her.
"Don't mind them babe, they're just mad because they've been tied up for…oh 36 hours now," Jack chuckled, looking at the expensive watch, he created, on his wrist. Raimundo rolled his eyes, not enjoying this at all.
"I'd rather have the Bean here, then you. Don't you have some of your precious robots to build?"
"Eh, already assembled for the next battle, whenever that is. Besides, this is much more entertaining," Jack smiled, stuffing more food down his throat. Ashley stared emotionless, feeling bad for Raimundo and Omi…but also feeling sorry for Jack's close-minded brain.
"I will vomit if you keep consuming your disgusting cuisine like that," Omi mumbled, painfully staring at Jack. "I'd rather be tortured, stretched from one room to another than suffer from witnessing this."
"It's a gift, really," Jack replied, opening a bag of chips.
"You still haven't answered where Kimiko is. I want to know!" Raimundo seethed, struggling with his restraints.
"See, I would tell you, but then what fun would that be? Watching you squirm is all I need for me to be entertained. Why would I want to ruin that?" Jack responded, sipping on his soda.
Raimundo sighed sadly, his heart breaking slowly. Ashley watched, as he had to make sure a tear didn't fall down his cheek. He hated being in the situation he was currently in, defenseless with no power to control the situation at all. His best friend was presently unconscious, the one person who could probably tear Chase's lair with one punch. The best fighter was being hung from the ceiling like a puppet, with no water whatsoever for him to even try to escape. And, the girl who stole his heart was nowhere to be seen and probably somewhere he couldn't imagine right now. He gulped down his sadness, trying to turn away from Jack.
Ashley watched sadly, suddenly blurting out, "She's not with Chase, if that's what you're thinking. She's safe." Raimundo turned to her sharply, knowing he shouldn't trust her, but her eyes told him to believe her. Ashley only wished someday she would have a man like Raimundo, who loved her just as much.
"Seriously? You're so stupid! You completely ruined it!" Jack scolded, irritatingly glaring at her for her stupidity. "You always have to ruin everything, don't you?" Jack continued to rant, while Ashley stared at the ground. "You're looking fatter, you need to lay off the food for a while." Ashley flinched visibly, keeping back her own tears from falling. It was times like these she wished to old Jack was still here; the old Jack wouldn't have cared, but simply brush it off annoyingly.
"Don't talk to her like that," Raimundo joined in, glaring at Jack. She gasped, staring at him, shocked.
"Excuse me?" Jack asked, standing up. "I'll talk to her however I want." With that, he briskly walked, grabbing her arm and dragging her out of the Playroom, leaving Omi and Raimundo alone again.
"Did you see the fear in her eyes?" Omi asked speculatively.
"Yeah…I did."
"Raimundo, something dark is happening and it frustrates me when I don't know what it is. I feel…cold."
"I don't know what's going on either, but we have to figure out what our ability is or otherwise it's going to be too late."
"I have…theories. I believe I've figured it out, but I don't want to risk using it at the wrong time, for the safety of our friends."
"Wait, how did you figure it out?"
"I thought the water wasn't communicating with me, but I've realized that it always has and will. It's one of the reasons I always feel cold and why the water feels solid when I absorb it," Omi explained.
"What is it?"
"In due time…" Omi said, concentrating as the dots on his forehead glowed blue. "Raimundo, the wind is trying to tell you…you have to listen harder."
"No, what you're describing makes sense. It's the reason why I always feel differently when the storm acts up or when thunder and lightning strike. It has been communicating with me, I just haven't been listening…"
"Raimundo…it's time for us to become dragons again…and fight like we used to."
"It's time for us to save the world again..."
Chapter 12:
Not much action going on in this one, but our dragons are starting to figure things out. Next chapter is going to be epic, so stay tuned for that. Will they finally stop Chase? Hmmm it should be interesting...
I didn't really feel like editing like an expert this time, so if there are mistakes, my apologies. I was lazy this time :P
