Ownership stuff and things.
Almost two months in and already 21 chapters, I couldn't have done it without my good friend Silver. I know your reading this, so to you I say thanks my good friend for all your help and support.
Please enjoy the following chapter fans and readers.
Shadow starts mumbling in his sleep again. "...Mhhmmm...Too weak...need more power...Im...sorry..."
Silver holds his hand gently. "Shadow...don't be sorry...You are doing your best." She thinks about touching his scales again to see if Skiadrum will tell her more, but is worried.
Shadow says nothing more and just lays there silently resting.
Silver gulps a bit, takes the chance and gently touches Shadow's scales, hoping to speak to Skiadrum.
She gets no response.
She waits a bit more. "Hey Skiadrum I need to talk to you...Please answer me."
After a few minutes he finally says something to her. "I thought I sent you away girl, what is it you want from me?"
"Cant get rid of me that easily. I want to know more. What's going to happen to Shadow and do you know about the dream he had?"
"Hmhmhmhm, your in a very bad position to be making any demands or requests with me. I have nothing to say to the likes of you, be gone."
"No, Im not leaving. Please, Shadow and everyone want to know. Your the best chance we have Skiadrum, you might know something so please. Its not just for me, but the other dragons too."
"They aren't real dragons you fool, at least not yet. Right now they are little more then mankind's dragon attempted garbage, the dragon king is not at all pleased with these results."
"Wait a minute...The dragon king?...Shouldn't he be dead like all the other dragons?"
"Hahahahahaha! You really are dumb! Do you honestly think that a being as powerful as the dragon king could be killed so easily?! Well he's still alive, he's just hiding out for now. Nothing can kill him, he's simply too powerful for death."
"So Shadow's dream was right...He is alive...Where is he, do you know?"
"As if Id tell you. Not only would that be a waste of time, but if I did he'd have my head even if I am little more then a spirit."
"How can he kill you when your all ready dead? Cant you give me a hint ? Im not asking much."
"He's so powerful there's little he cant do, there's your hint. Now shut your mouth you little brat."
"That's not a hint you old overgrown lizard! Now give me a real hint."
"Do not order me, your 700 years too young to be ordering me."
"Then act your age, not your claw size and please just tell me."
"How clever of you, and for the record my claws are quite large. But seeing as how you wont leave me alone Ill answer one of your questions. Happy now?"
"Very. See, was that so hard? Now tell me, where can I find the dragon king or at least give me a hint?"
"Fine, but if he comes to kill me he'll kill you too. Have you ever heard of a place called the Dragon Archipelago?"
"Your dead and Ill risk it. Dragon Archipelago...Wait, Shadow said that in his dream."
"Then why did you ask me?"
"But Im not sure where to find it, that's the first time Ive heard of it."
"Well Im sure you'll find it eventually, after all it is written in the stars."
"What do you mean by the written in the stars? Are you saying Im going to find it?"
"You will all find it, and there it will be your end."
"What? Your saying he will kill me?"
"You'll just have to wait and see on that one, Im leaving now. Goodbye." Is the last thing Skiadrum says for now.
Silver slowly pulls her hand away and thinks about everything her and the dragon talked about.
Shadow is still asleep.
She sighs a bit, then goes over to the book shelf and goes through them, hoping to find something on the Dragon Archipelago.
Then one book falls out of the wall and is covered in a thick layer of dust.
She picks it up and slowly wipes away the dust.
The title says "The Dragon Archipelago"
"No way...There was a book about it here." She sits down at her desk and slowly opens it.
It says that long ago the Dragon Archipelago was the home of many dragons, it was an island for them and only them. Until one day the dragon species became divided, one half wanting peace with the humans and the other half wanting to destroy them in a moment. The dragon species wiped each other out, until none were left. And the dragon king is said to be one of the two most powerful beings in the whole world, his power unmatched by anyone except the creator of magic originally. The archipelago was his island throne from which he ruled over the dragons, no human has ever seen him fight so no one knows just how strong he is. In fact very little is known about him, just that he is unbelievably powerful. The archipelago is abandoned to this day, nothing lives there. That's all the book says, the rest is just some other chicken scratch stuff and the final page of the book is missing.
"I wonder what happened to the last page. So its an island." She then looks at the world map, hoping to find it.
Its in the bottom right hand corner of the map.
"There it is...Mhmm...I am able to get there...but is it wise to go alone?"
Then Wendy re-enters the room with lots of berries in her arms.
The older girl puts the book down. "Oh good Wendy, you got a lot of them." She smiles at her and puts them all into a bowl.
"Yeah, there weren't very hard to find. I hope Shadow likes them." The young girl smiles back.
"Im sure he will Wendy, but we have to wait until he's awake."
"Okay, has anything happened since I left Silver?"
"Nope. Shadow has been sound asleep." She lies and smiles.
Wendy smiles back. "Oh good, sometimes he really worries me."
"Yeah, same here Wendy, but don't worry. He will be okay."
After another hour he finally wakes up. "...Uhhh...What happened?..."
"Shadow! Thank goodness your okay!" Wendy hugs him and smiles big.
"Wendy, did I do something to worry you?"
"You passed out after you tried something Shadow, you had us both worried." Silver explains to him.
He looks down again. "Damn it...I failed again...I just felt like...something was missing from it..."
"Any idea what it is?" Wendy asks.
"...No...I don't."
"Don't worry Shadow, you were just too tired from all the training. Now eat some berries, they will make you feel better. Wendy picked them." Silver smiles again.
"All for you Shadow, I hope ya like em." Wendy smiles at him too, and he smiles back a bit.
"Thanks Wendy, you to Silver." He starts eating.
"No problem Shadow. Wendy you watch him for awhile, I got to go do something." Silver quickly grabs the book and leaves the room.
"Okay Silver, I wonder what that was all about."
Shadow narrows his eyes, thinking she's up to something reckless. "Hmmm..."
She goes to the roof of the temple and looks over the book again to check if she missed anything.
The only other thing in the book is that only dragons can get to the island, any other person or creature would have to be taken to the island by a dragon if they wanna get it.
"Oh damn it...but do the others even count?. Their really only half dragons." She keeps reading.
But that's all it says.
"Damn it...Now what am I going to do? I wanted to go on my own...but...now I think I should bring just one of the others if its possible they can bring me."
"Hey Silver, what ya reading?"
"It looks really old." They appear behind her out of nowhere.
"Ekkk!" Silver jumps up and puts the book behind her back. "Blaze, Marin...You both scared me, don't do that."
"Sorry, we just wanted to know what you were doing up here all by yourself." Blaze says with a smile.
"Can we please read that book? You looked like you were pretty into it." Marin asks, look intently at the book.
"Uhh...sorry girls...but this is...a very important book and its very old...I don't want anything to happen to it...So no, sorry."
"Awww, fine then." Blaze whines a little, but then quickly gets over it.
"Can you at least tell us what its about?" Marin asks again.
"Oh...Um...Its an old book about how the nekos founded this land and made it as it is today." She feels a bit bad for lying, but doesn't want them to know the truth yet.
"Sounds boring, cya later." Blaze turns to leave.
"We're not as oblivious as we seem Silver." Marin whispers to her like she knows she's lying, then they both leave.
Silver then gulps a bit. "Sorry guys, I cant tell you...Not yet anyway." She puts the book away and heads back down to Shadow.
Then Ruby walks up to her. "Something wrong Silver? You look a bit distant."
"Oh its nothing Ruby, don't worry about it." She smiles at her.
"If you say so, we're all taking a break from training for now. Cya around." The Blood Dragon leaves her now.
"Okay, see ya." The magic neko heads back to her and Shadow's room.
Once she arrives she see that Shadow's finished all the berries. "Welcome back Silver."
"Where'd you go in such a hurry?" The young Sky Dragon asks her.
"Hi guys. I just had to do something, no bigy." She smiles at the two dragons.
"What kind of something? You can tell us, we're your friends." Shadow tells her.
She gulps a bit again. "Ummm...Well...Im not sure you guys will take it well."
"What does that mean? I thought you knew us better then that Silver."
"I know Wendy, its just I don't want you guys to worry."
Wendy gives her the teary eyes and sad look to get her to talk.
Silver sighs in defeat. "Oh Wendy, you know I cant say no to that. Fine Ill tell you, just stop with that face."
The bluenette instantly stops and smiles at her. "Thank you Silver, was that good Shadow?"
"Perfect Wendy." The dragons high five and turn to Silver to let her finish.
"You both are evil...But okay...Shadow you remember that dream you had?"
Shadow expression gets more serious now. "Yeah, what about it?"
"Well I talked to Skiadrum...and...its true...The dragon king is alive."
Shadow and Wendy get looks of shock, disbelief and fear. Mostly fear. "...That...cant be..."
"...This has to be...a joke...Right?...Silver?..."
"I wish it was." She shows them the book. "Look at this."
They look at the book, take it from her and they both start reading it. Once they finish they both look very worried. "...The Dragon Archipelago..."
"An island for dragons..."
"Yeah and I cant get to it without a dragon."
At first both dragons hesitate, like everything in them is saying not to go there. Then Shadow finally speaks up. "...Our Dragon Force gives us all the powers and attributes of a full dragon...Im pretty sure we can get you there with it."
"Don't you dare Shadow!...Your the only one I wont allow to use it!" Silver expresses with feelings of anger and sadness.
"Why not?! Why is it only me!" Shadow then stands up and he's not acting like himself, even his eyes have changed. Its like he's a different person. "Im the strongest! I was the first to gain that power! So why not me!"
Wendy gasps and grabs his arm. "Ease up Shadow, calm down!"
"Shadow...you may have gained it first, but its not safe for you...You have only two or three years left of having your humanity...I wont let you Shadow. You promised me." Silver looks at him shocked that he's not acting like himself.
"I don't care, Im still a dragon! So I have every right to go to this island! And no one will stop me! Not even you, now step aside." He walks forward, still not himself.
Wendy tries to hold him back. "No! Shadow! Stop! Please!"
"Let go of me!" The Darkness Dragon throws her off of himself and she hits the wall.
"...Sh-Shadow...my friend...why?..."
He then turns back to Silver. "Move it."
Silver glares at him and slaps him hard across the face. "How dare you!. How could you do that to Wendy!. What the hell is wrong with you Shadow!" She sheds a few tears.
After that his eyes go back to normal and he holds his face where she slapped him. "Ah!...Silver that wasnt me! What did I do?! Who was that?!" He acts like he has no idea what just happened, and he really doesn't. He looks very scared and starts breathing heavily.
"Wait...you mean you don't remember what just happened?" Silver questions.
"No, what did I do?!" He turns to Wendy. "Wendy Im so sorry!" He goes to her, hugs her and she hugs him back.
"Shadow...that was really scary...What happened to you?" Wendy cries and so does he a little.
"...I don't know Wendy...I don't know..."
"You just got angry when I said not to use your Dragon Force." Silver explains with concern.
Shadow turns back to her. "I already promised you I wouldn't use it, so why would I be mad about that? Im so confused, what's going on?"
Silver notices his new scales start to glow through his shirt and cloak, but only she notices. She is shocked, thinking its Skiadrum's doing.
"Wendy...Im so sorry...I didn't mean to hurt you."
"...Shadow...I know...I know that wasnt you..."
"I might have an idea who." Silver says in a serious tone.
"Who is it Silver?"
"Your scales glowed...So I think...Skiadrum."
Shadow and Wendy both look more shocked then ever before. "...I didn't think...he could make Shadow do that..."
"...Bastard..." Shadow then hands Silver his katana, takes off his shirt and cloak and turns his back with the scales to her. "...Silver...cut it off...my shoulder I mean..."
Wendy looks up at him, very worried. "...No...don't..."
"Do it!" He demands.
Silver responds by whacking him on the head with his katana in its holder. "Idiot!...Don't say that, no way am I doing that to you!"
He shakes his head and snaps out of it, then takes his katana back from her and puts it back on his waist. "Your right, Im sorry I keep losing it."
"Yeah...sorry for whacking you on the head."
"No, I needed it." He puts his shirt and cloak back on. "Wendy, you should go get some rest. Sorry again about hurting you."
"Its fine, please get better Shadow. Keep an eye on him Silver." Wendy leaves them.
"No problem Wendy. You okay Shadow?"
He holds his shoulder, not looking at her. "...I think so...but honestly...I have no idea..."
"Shadow...want me to see if I can talk to Skiadrum again?"
"...N-No...keep him out of this...Id rather we had no contact with him anymore...Please just don't...not now anyway..."
"Okay Shadow, you go lay down and rest okay?"
"Yeah, goodnight Silver." He goes and lays down, still not looking at her.
She looks at him, worried and decides to leave the room to give him some space.
When she exits the room all the others except Wendy are waiting for her. "We heard tons of yelling, what happened Silver?" Gajeel asks, as they all look at her seriously.
"Oh...Okay, okay. Ill explain, but no yelling." She explains everything that happened.
They all have mixed reactions. "That's insane, and he got that way after you let him read a book about the Dragon Archipelago?" Cobra questions.
"I just cant believe that Shadow of all people...or dragons..." Levi adds to the confusion.
"Don't blame me and it wasnt Shadow. He acted different and his eyes changed color." Silver says to try and contain the confusion.
"No one's blaming you Silver, we're all just a little surprised is all." Ruby reassures her.
"So that's what you were reading on the roof, very interesting to say the least." Marin keeps the conversations going.
"So we also heard you need one of us to take you there, so whose it gonna be?" Blaze asks with great curiosity.
"I don't know guys...I wanted to go on my own, but I cant and...I don't know."
The dragons all think it over. "I think you should get either Jura or the Lightning Dragon to take you there." Marin suggest to her.
"I agree, their the two strongest dragons besides Shadow and Sting. We want you to be safe, so either of them would be the best choices." Levi adds.
"But we don't know where they are and I thought the Lightning Dragon wasnt really friendly?" Silver counters.
"He's not, but still if anyone can get through to him it'll be you Silver." Ruby answers.
"We may not have any idea where the Lightning Dragon is, but we're pretty sure Jura is still in the Grand Magic city. That's the best place to start looking for him." Cobra adds.
"But you guys I tried it and I nearly died, since Jerad found me."
"Don't go wimping out before we try again, we've gotten stronger since then. So we'll go with ya this time." Gajeel says to her seriously.
"With all of us backing you up there's no way that'll happen again. Please Silver, let us help you." Blaze begs her.
"No. I wont let you all go, it would be too dangers. No matter how strong you guys have become."
"Rrrrr...Then what the hell do you plan to do?! Just sit here and wait for a miracle?! Let us fight and we'll destroy them!" Gajeel begins to get annoyed with how difficult Silver is being.
"Calm down Gajeel, she's just concerned about our safety!" Levi tries to calm him down.
"But what about her safety? She's clearly not strong enough to do this on her own, no one could do this on their own. That's why we have to work together." Cobra backs Gajeel up.
"...Gajeel and Cobra are right...We have to do something, we cant just sit here and wait it out like this." Ruby nervously agrees with them.
"I know guys...but...we need a plan and I just don't know what to do." Silver holds her head a bit, having too many things on her mind.
Then Marin puts her hand on her shoulder. "Just go sleep on it for now, the answer should come in time. Lets all go get some rest."
"I here ya sweetie, lets hit the hay." Blaze says, then everyone leaves Silver and goes back to their rooms for the night.
She sighs a bit and slowly goes into her and Shadow's room, hoping he's asleep.
He's turned away from her, so she cant tell.
She gets ready for bed and slowly lays beside him so as not to wake him. The brunette does well to keep away from his left shoulder.
Shadow's not asleep, as there is too much on his mind for it.
Silver slowly closes her eyes, hoping to get some sleep.
He doesn't even try to sleep, he knows he cant with all that's happening.
Morning soon comes around and Silver slowly sits up exhausted, as she didn't get much sleep.
Shadow's not next to her, he's gone. All she sees is a note.
She slowly picks up the note and reads it.
This is what it says. "Silver, Ive gone to the Grand Magic city to find Jura. Once I do I know you can use him to get to the Dragon Archipelago, then we should get a lot more answers. I know Ill need back up so Gajeel, Cobra, Blaze, Levi, Marin, and Ruby are all coming with me. I offered and they agreed we need to do something now. Please look after Wendy and don't follow us, we'll be back in time for dinner. Sorry for doing this so suddenly without your blessing, I hope you can forgive me." That's all it says.
Silver is shocked by what she reads. "Well at least he has the others, but...if they get caught...Ill hear that on the news." She gets up and gets dressed.
There's a knock at her door. "Silver, its Wendy. Is Shadow feeling better yet?"
The older girl gulps hard, then sighs and thinks Wendy needs to know. "Wendy come in please...I need to tell you something."
The younger girl walks in and notices Shadow's not there. "Where's Shadow, is he out training again?"
"No Wendy...They left...to go find Jura."
Wendy's a bit shocked at first, but then looks down. "...I expected something like that from them...but why didn't they take me with them?...Im strong now..."
"I know you are Wendy and maybe its cause Shadow cares so much about you he didn't want you to get hurt." Silver hopes that cheers her up.
"Well I feel the same way about him...That's why I cant stand just sitting here knowing he's putting himself in danger...Im going after him." Wendy says very seriously then turns to leave after Shadow and the others.
"No Wendy, stop!" Silver grabs her arm. "He said not to follow him and he has the others, they will be fine Wendy."
"If you think they'll be fine then why wouldn't you let us all go before? That doesn't make any sense to me Silver." Wendy doesn't turn to the other girl and waits for an answer.
"...I didn't want you guys to get into danger...but now Shadow is leading them...So I have no control."
"...Th-That's right...Shadow was always a great leader...at least I thought he was...We may not be blood relatives...but he's my big brother and I love him! Please let me go after him Silver!" The Sky Dragon starts crying hard and struggling to get free from Silver.
Silver brings her into a tight hug and rubs her back gently. "Sshhh...Wendy its going to be okay...I promise...they said they'll be back for dinner...and if not...then we'll go after them or if something happened...I know you love Shadow a lot...but please Wendy...just trust him."
Wendy calms down and hugs Silver back, crying into her shoulder. "...Okay Silver...I will...I believe in his strength...the others too...I know Im the weakest of all the dragons...and Ill accept that...I just...want to do what I can to help them...I also know you love Shadow far more then I ever could...but I still care a lot for him...I hope they'll be okay..."
"Don't say that, your not weak. Out of all the dragons your the one who can heal others, that's not weak Wendy and don't worry. They will be fine." The older girl smiles and keeps hugging her.
"Thank you Silver...but what are they gonna do if they get hurt? Im the only healer this guild has."
"I honestly don't know, so be ready incase they are hurt when they come back."
The young half dragon gulps then smiles a bit. "Okay then...and Silver...can we have a big dinner ready for them when they come back? Im sure they'll be really hungry."
"Of course Wendy and when their all better we punish them for not telling us in person. What do you say?"
She giggles a bit. "Sounds like fun Silver, Im sure you'll be tougher to handle then anything the Magic Council throws at them."
"Oh thanks Wendy, just for that Im going to tickle you." Silver tickles her.
She laughs hard. "Ahahahahah! S-Silver! Stop! Ahahahahahah!"
"Hmm...Nope!" Silver laughs too and keeps tickling Wendy hard.
Wendy cries from laughing so hard. "AHAHAHAHAHAH! Silver! Your...so...mean! AHAHAHAHAHAH!"
The brunette stops giggling. "I know you love me Wendy." She smiles.
"Ahahahahah! Yes...I do! Now please...stop! Ahahahahah!"
"Okay, okay." She lets Wendy go.
The Sky Dragon breaths heavily, but smiles at her friend. "...Ya know...if Shadow's my big brother...then that makes you...my big sister...Silver..."
She smiles back. "Yup, Im your big sister Wendy and your my little sister."
"Thanks Silver, so what should we do until they get back?"
"Mhmm...I don't know Wendy." Silver thinks of something to do.
"Its not like there's not a lot to do around here, there has to something fun we can do while we wait for them."
"Mhmm...Well...we could go flower picking...or...well I can teleport us somewhere in the world. Anywhere you wanna go Wendy?"
"Hmmm...I don't know very many places in the world remember, but that part about flower picking sounds like fun. Im sure this area has some very beautiful looking flowers."
"Yeah, I know of a rare flower that grows somewhere near by. Lets try and find it."
"Okay, lets go." Wendy stands up and waits for Silver.
They then walk out and goes to the flower field near by.
Meanwhile back in the Grand Magic city the rest of their friends all search for Jura, they search for hours and find nothing. Then they all meet in the plaza to discuss. "Anyone find anything?" Shadow asks the group.
"No one found even a single trace of him, I cant believe that seven dragons couldn't even find one." Blaze says, slightly frustrated.
"Tell me about it, where the hell is he?" Gajeel says, also frustrated.
"Ya know there is a chance he's not here anymore, if so then we should just move on." Levi suggests.
"It really is a shame, but if he isn't here then we should get going before the Magic Council finds us." Ruby says, a bit worried.
"They can come after us if they want, I know their strong and all, but Im fairly confident we can take em." Cobra says confidently, but also a bit cocky.
"Don't get ahead of yourself Cobra or anyone, lets just look around a bit more then go back to the temple." Marin declares.
"Sounds good, and hopefully Silver wont be too mad at us." Shadow says.
"Oh now what's this about a temple? Dragons." They look around to see that they're surrounded by Magic Council knights.
"...Ah crap, lets do this guys." They all start fighting them.
Back with Silver and Wendy, after awhile they find the rare flowers. "Wendy this flower changes colors based on the last person who touched it. They do give a lot of seeds so we can grow more of them, but they can only grow here for some reason." Silver explains with a smile.
"Really? That's cool, and they look really pretty."
"Yup, touch it and see what color it turns."
Wendy touches one of them.
They wait as its color starts to change.
With Wendy's touch it changes color, its now a sky blue color. "Wow, that's amazing." Wendy looks at it in awe.
"Oh that's pretty, lets bring it back to the temple and get a pot for it." Silver smiles at Wendy.
She smiles back. "Yeah, and lets get one for everyone. I wanna see what colors their turn too." She gets one for all of the other dragons, even the three dragons they don't have with them.
"Yeah, lets head back Wendy." They each carry some flowers and bring them back.
Once the two get back Wendy gets a pot for the flowers. "No matter what colors they turn I know they'll look really pretty all together in one pot."
"Yeah, they will Wendy." The older girl smiles and helps put them in a pot.
"This'll look great when they all touch them, is their any special meaning behind the color it turns when someone touches these flowers Silver?"
"Yeah, the colors tell how there feeling when the touched the flower. Its like a mood flower." She gives Wendy a book on the different meanings of the colors it turns.
The young bluenette reads it. "Oh I get it, so since mine turned sky blue that means I was in awe at the time."
"Right, now let me touch one." Silver gently touches one of them.
Wendy stares at it and waits for it to change.
It changes to a dark blue with a bit of black.
"Woah, what does that mean?"
"Umm...I don't know."
Wendy begins looking through the book and finds something like it, then hands it to Silver. "That looks like it."
The older brunette takes it and starts to read it.
Wendy waits for Silver to give her an answer.
"Umm...Well the dark blue...is...sadness and confusion...and as for the black...This says something about dark or something...I don't really know."
Wendy looks at her friend, a bit worried. "What do you have to be sad or dark about Silver? I understand the confusion, but not the rest."
"I guess the sad...is about all the talking I did with Skiadrum and what he said...and for the dark...I really don't know Wendy."
Wendy gets a little more worried. "But Silver...your not a bad person...I know it...Why would you be dark at all?"
"Im sure its nothing Wendy, maybe its my hellhound. I really don't know."
Wendy's not completely convinced, but smiles at Silver a little anyway. "If you say so Silver, but I just want ya to know that me, Shadow and all the others are always here for you. Okay?"
Silver can hear the concern in Wendy's voice. "...Im being honest Wendy, Im not sure where the black came from. Maybe from my past, I really don't know."
The small girl then hugs her friend and smiles warmly. "I believe you Silver, Im just a little worried about you. I love you just like I love Shadow."
Silver smiles and hugs back. "Thank you Wendy and don't worry, if I find out Ill tell you."
"Thank you Silver, so now what should we do?"
"Now? I don't know Wendy."
"Oh, maybe there's something on the news about our friends." Wendy turns on the view crystal in the room next to the kitchen, then a broadcast about their friends comes on.
"This just in, a group of seven dragons has begun a fight with the Magic Council in the center of town! I have received word that they plan to use the 9th, 8th, 7th and 6th most powerful wizard of the 10 Great Wizard lords to bring these creatures in! Lets all wish the Magic Council good luck as they prepare to take down these dragons."
Wendy now looks a little scared. "...S-Silver...our friends are..."
"Oh no, this is bad...The 6th is Jerad...he's the one I met...and there's not a 10th because I didn't want to be with them...Wendy, Im not sure what to do."
"Me neither, do you think they can handle them on their own?"
"Well they have four great wizards, but...I really don't know Wendy...We could go...but we stay out of site...and if it gets too bad...we gather everyone and bring them back. They may not like it, but...we might have to."
Wendy takes a deep breath. "Okay Silver, lets go get em."
"Okay, but remember we stay out of sight okay?"
"Yes ma'am." Wendy stands at attention, like in the army.
This makes Silver giggle. "Okay, lets go." She teleports the both of them to the city, making sure they're a good distance away from the fight.
Even at that distance they hear all kinds of explosions and other attack sounds coming from their friend's battle with the knights. "Darkness Dragon Roar!"
"Iron Dragon Razor!"
"Fire Dragon Flame Elbow!"
"Water Dragon Cyclone!"
"Blood Dragon Needles!"
"Ice Dragon Storm!"
"Poison Dragon Scales!" All their attacks hit them hard, and they don't let up at all.
"Wow, they sure sound like their giving it their all." Wendy says in amazement.
"Yeah, Im sure the knights will be easy, but the wizards are another story."
"I guess so, so lets keep watching them." After a while they beat all the knights, then they head for the Magic Council main building. "Wait, where are they going now?"
"Oh crap, their going to take down the magic council."
"What?! We gotta follow em!" Wendy runs after them.
"Wendy! Wait for me!" Silver runs after her.
Once they all reach the Magic Council building they all line up and stare at it. "Hey! Quit acting like a bunch of prisses and come fight us!" Gajeel yells up at them, they come out and stare down at the group of dragons with displeased looks.
Silver quickly catches up to Wendy and the two keep their distance from their friends for the moment.
"It was very brave or very foolish of you to come here dragons, Im afraid your journey of freedom ends here."
"Screw you ya old bags of crap, we came here to find another dragon, but now we're gonna destroy you for taking our lives from us!" Blaze yells up at them in anger.
"If you want us you'll have to make it passed the first four in the 10 Great Wizard lords, which Im very sure will not happen."
"Tch, we're ready for anything that comes our way! When we're done your gonna need some new lords." Cobra says in his usual tone.
"Oh god, those guys. At least not all nine of them are fighting all together, but the others better be careful." Silver says quietly to herself.
"How come ya don't just send all nine at us right now?" Levi asks them.
"The final five need not concern themselves with weaklings like you, they are far too powerful for such things."
"Oh, you are so dead for that one buddy." Marin says, getting very annoyed now.
"There are only four ways to get to us from where you are, and their all through this tower."
"And let me guess, one of your lords is at each of these paths?" Ruby questions, knowingly.
"Exactly, your not and thick headed as we thought. Beat them and come to us, if you can."
"Darkness Dragon Blade!" Shadow shoots one of his blades of darkness at them, but instead of hitting them he hits the Magic Council's flag on the top of the tower.
Their flag is now torn to pieces as the citizens all look on in horror at what he just did. "I cant believe they did that!"
"...Those dragons...just declared war against the Magic Council!"
"They must have one hell of a death wish!"
"Oh dear. Well Wendy, lets join the others, but when we do there's no going back okay?" Silver says to the smaller girl.
"I wouldn't want it any other way Silver, lets do this." Wendy grins at her then runs over and stands next to Shadow. "Surprise Shadow!"
"Wendy? How did you get here so fast? As if I didn't know already." He grins like he knows it was Silver.
Silver runs over to her friends too. "Sorry Shadow, I know you told us not to come, but you guys made a lot of trouble."
The Darkness Dragon turns to her and grins again. "Honestly I knew you'd come eventually, Im glad you two could make it. We really didn't want ya to miss this."
"When we heard you going after the magic council, we had to help." Silver smiles at him.
He smiles back. "We're all glad ya came."
The Magic Council sees all of this and looks pissed. "Your going to die Silver! How dare you side with these dragons over us! And their going back to the lab where they belong! You cant take on the entire Magic Council and expect to win!"
Then all of the half dragons yell up at them, at the same time. "YEAH?! BRING IT ON!" It shakes the whole city.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" The Magic Council screams in fear at this, as the pieces of their flag fall all around the city.
Silver sticks her tongue out at them. "Screw all of you! I don't care, we're going to win and beat all your sorry asses!" She glares up at them.
They then turn and go back inside and the members of Neko Dragon run up to their castle, but then Shadow stops and soon everyone else does too. Their not sure why he stopped so suddenly. "Silver...there's still something I wanna hear so say..." He faces the sky with his eyes full of determination, standing tall. "TELL ME YOUR PROUD TO BE APART OF THIS FAMILY OF DRAGONS!" He shouts it out loud so the whole city can hear it, like he wanted them to hear it. Shadow wants them to hear her answer too.
"First oww my ears, second yes I am and Im happy to be your mate too." She smiles at him.
He laughs a bit. "Sorry, I just wanted all these idiots around us to hear it." He was a good 12 to 14 feet away from her when he yelled that out.
At her answer, everyone around them is shocked. "That girl likes being with those dragons?"
"Unbelievable."
"Did she just say that she was that one's mate?"
"That's not right."
"Their all freaks!"
"Its okay and whoever said those things will get their ass kicked. Im a magic neko, deal with it." Silver says to them all with a serious expression.
Shadow laughs a bit more. "That's my girl, now lets go show these guys we are not to messed with." He continues to run into the castle with all the others, but he waits at the door for Silver.
The proud magic neko smiles and follows him in.
Well here it is, Neko Dragon's first battle against the Magic Council. Will they succeed or die trying? I know, but you'll just have to wait and see for yourself.
Blaze: Oh! I know, we-
*Quickly covers her mouth* Until next time. Ewww! Did you just lick my hand?
Blaze: *Nods and grins*
*Sighs*
