(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
Much later that night, I tossed and turned in my bed. Sleep was not coming to me, for whatever reason. Not the dreamless kind, nor the kind that would take me to Toothless and the others. With a quiet sigh, I stood, dressed in my tattered, comfortable old clothes, pulled on my new boots, and headed for the door. I paused at the entrance, looking at the nightstand. I walked back and grabbed my totem, tucking it into the pocket of my jacket. I had a bag of chocolate in my other pocket, and chewed on it as I walked out.
It was very late, possibly early morning. I grimaced as my right arm brushed against something, rubbing the stinging spot. "God, this hurts, why?" I grumbled. I had no particular destination in mind, but ended up in the portal room. I looked up at it, suddenly curious. Did my soul travel through it to get to where it needed to go? I wasn't sure. I walked by the controls, looking at them in the semi-darkness, then walked up the steps itself, peering into the empty portal.
It looked more like a ring than anything else. A big ring of metal that lead into a small space. I leaned closer, then flailed more arms out to catch my balance, having strayed to close the edge. One of my hands had been in my pocket; something was sent flying, clanking and clanging to the side. I heard a whir, and suddenly I was blinded! I lost my balance and fell forward . . . into a tunnel made of swirling colors where the portal had been. I slowly stood, glancing around. "Whoa, weird." I mutter, walking a little further down.
Something seemed to shift; it was like the floor suddenly became the wall; I flailed and fell on my back. Then, it felt like the whole tunnel was tilting, sending me skidding and tumbling away from the entrance. I tried to dig my fingers into the floor, but couldn't catch anything to anchor myself. With a final yelp, I was thrown threw the other end. I crashed into something, the pain in my right forearm grew, and everything got dark.
What had happened was, Airi had accidentally thrown her totem into against the activation button, and since its coordinates were still set for Treasure Planet, that's where it connected to now. However, the cord had entangled with the switch that would cut off the power; as the figurine itself tumbled off the edge of the control panel, it slowly dragged the lever down with it. The portal's system, recognizing the cut in power, did as was protocol; knock whoever was inside to the currently set coordinates, so they would be less likely to be injured or trapped or even killed in the connecting tunnel.
As for Airi, well . . . she'd been turned into an African-american girl with black dreadlocks. Her tail, wings, claws, feelers and ears were all there, just smaller and refitted to a human body. Scales crawled over the back of her hands, around her wrists, encasing her arm all the way up to the shoulder, where it topped off. It crawled up the top of her feet, too, but stayed on a straight path to her knees, fanning out over her thighs before tapering back off into skin. The scales spread from her shoulders to the sides of her neck, met her ears, and crawled just above her eyebrows to form her mark, a pale pink heart with three crimson slashes surrounded by ebony black scales. Two inward spikes, from her the sides of her chin towards her cheekbones, made of scales, is last of all.
Her eyes were pale blue, but the pupils were clearer than her fully human form, yet still cloudier than her full dragon one. They were slitted, too; changing from wide to narrow in moments. Her wings, ears, and tail fins still bore the colors from her mark accordingly. She wore her same exact clothes, the only modifications were holes for her tail and wings. As she tumbled into the new world, just as the changes finished on her, some sharp rocks tore up her tail, on the back just above the fins, and her right forearm. Her head bumped against another rock, knocking her out. She wasn't too far from the Benbow inn, and the stars were spread out overhead.
(Benflight's P.O.V.)
I walked in silent thought as I left Nightstorm's house, heading up to Benbow Inn, mind whirling from what he told me of the events after he and the others left. 'Tara was healed by a dragon-woman of the name Lavender, and Sunrise brought a baby to them at HQ, hoping that she would be adopted, and finding out that Tara is the goddaughter of Sunrise, and the new baby Tavamander is the godmother of Clawheart, the new warrior I heard about from the clan line. Crazy adventure'.
"Oof! Ow, Ow!". I fell, rocks scraping me after I hit something. I rubbed my head, my ears pinning back, the pain aching sharply. I grunted lightly as I got up, clearing my tail of the dirt from the rocks, and turned around to see what I had hit. I stared at a woman, bleeding somewhat, bearing a similar description to what Stormy told me. 'Is it Lavender?' I looked around her body, saw her face, which is bearing a strange heart with claw marks. 'Wait a minute, Clawheart? What the heck is she doing here? Huh, no totem necklace.' I looked between Benbow Inn and Nightstorm's house, seeing that the inn is more closer to us. I sighed lightly, and gently I gathered Clawheart up in my arms.
I brought her to the Inn, opening the door. I shouted, "Anybody here? I need help here!".
"I'm coming, Benflight!", shouted Jim as I heard him lumber out of the kitchen doors. Jim stopped, looked at me holding Clawheart, gaping with a wide look.
"Quit staring, Jim. She's a friend of Stormy and mine. I think she hit her head.". I reprimanded him sternly.
Jim shook his head, looked up at me, "One room is still open on the second floor, we can put her there. I will get Mom and she will check on her. Who's she?".
"Her name is Airi". I replied knowingly as I knew that her warrior name will be very unusual here, so her true name is a safe bet. Jim nodded, and I got her upstairs as Jim opened the available door, and I laid her in the bed as Jim left to find Sarah. 'Sunrise's out for a while. I'll call her at dawn or get the others later. I hope Clawheart is alright. I wonder what happened to her totem necklace.' Sarah came in suddenly with Jim following her in.
"Where did you find her?". asked Sarah concerningly.
I whispered to her, "On the rocks. I think she fell and hit her head. She might have a concussion and she's bleeding.". Sarah nodded and came over to check on her, feeling her head and body. She bandaged Clawheart's tail and right forearm, and wings.
"She will be fine. Apparently, she's tough yet she needs to heal. She would have a headache and some pain in the morning, and that's about it, I would say. We'll let her rest and check on her at dawn or after breakfast if she's hungry. And have the others here too if you or Jim can.". Sarah replied calmly and rationally. I nodded as I was relieved, and thanked her gratefully as I headed to Jim who smiled helpfully at me. I smiled gratefully, and joined him to our bunk room, heading to sleep quickly.
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
"Err . . .ow. . . " I groan softly, slowly lifting a hand to my head. I open my eyes to find that they have scales on the back, and slightly curved claws on the end. "Whaaa . . .?" I mutter.
I glance around warily, and start to stand, only to wince and hiss in pain. My tail, and the injury on it, had brushed into something. I glance back in surprise to see it, and my wings. I look again at my hands. They are a rich, dark brown, not pale and peach like I remembered. I glanced around to find myself in a small room. Careful to keep my tail off the ground and keep my wings tucked closer, I walked over slowly. A hand reached into my pocket to discover my M&Ms, so I took a few and threw them in my mouth, crunching them up as I slowly opened the door and began to walk through.
(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
I groan slightly as I thumped on my alarm clock, turning it off. I stretched my body as I got off my bed, grabbing a red sweater and blue jeans, changing into them, with putting on my purple sneakers. I headed into the bathroom for a break and a quick brush. Satisfied, I head out of my room, going to Clawheart's door. I noticed it was open. 'Strange. It was usually me who woke her up. Maybe she went to the cafeteria already.'
I head to the cafeteria, asking every clanmate on the way, their replies, "no, or haven't seen her". I knew the library is locked. Maybe the portal room. 'I have a feeling about this.' I look at the portal, completely off, or is it? I saw a glimmer right by the controls and I got closer. I widened my eyes as I recognized the object as Clawheart's totem necklace, and picked it up. 'Why is it here, and not Clawheart? Oh, no, no. She's not ready yet.' I checked the controls and saw that the coordinates was pointing to Treasure Planet, not How to Train Your Dragon. I better call the warriors in Treasure Planet.
I turned on my necklace, tuning to Benflight/Nightstorm's necklaces. I waited a while, then it vibrated.
"Hello, Sunrise? What's going on?". groggily said Nightstorm.
"I got a problem, Clawheart somehow got into your world. I have her necklace with me. You better find her.". I hurriedly replied.
"What, Airi? All right, I'll talk with Benflight once we get to breakfast in the inn, and find her, okay?". Stormy firmly commented.
I sighed, relieved yet concerned, "Thanks, Stormy, and call me back once you find her or whatever.". Stormy commented that he will do that. 'Airi, you better be alright.'
(Clawheart's P.O.V.)
I . . had absolutely no idea what was going on. A guy by the name of Jim had saw me coming down the hall and grabbed me by the elbow, leading me into a corner of a bustling kitchen and asking me to take a seat and wait, and now, a robot guy by the name of B.E.N. was having me help him peel potatoes. . . or something resembling potatoes, anyway.
(Benflight's P.O.V.)
I was eating Sarah's chicken soup added with a particular flavor I preferred. Jim came up, and told me that Airi is awake and in the kitchen. I thanked him and gave him a kiss before I headed into the kitchen. I saw Airi helping B.E.N. peeling potatoes. I smiled slightly.
"Hey, Airi. I am Nightstorm's friend. B.E.N., I believe you need to check the upper floors, I think someone threw up from partying too hard last night.". I replied smartly. B.E.N. nodded and left off in a rush of energy. 'Sometimes I swear he is a kid stuck in a robot's body.' I smiled wiry.
I look at Airi again, "Anyway, back to questions. What the heck happened to you? I thought you were in HQ by the clan line.". I ask curiously.
