DtD: Well Scarlett and S.P. showed me a lesson and locked my weapons in a vault.(claws at the vault door)
S.P.: We warned you DtD!
DtD: Please I'll do anything you want?
Scarlett: Well you could give us your tanks and Warhound Scout Titan!
Draganta: Sorry but it's for your own good!
DtD: I don't care if I'm acting spoiled, I need my beauties! Welcome to Chapter 35 anyway folks. I don't own anything except for my OC's, plot and storyline. Enjoy.
The Mystery of the Arcane Ruins.
After Stephen cooled down from the fury attack he noticed Draganta lying on the ground, sleeping.
'Ignitus, I'm bringing Draganta into his bed.' said Stephen.
'Alright Stephen and after that I want you to explore with Spyro, Rosie, Zephyr, Shadow, Firewalker and Flame the Lost City of the Old Ones to see what really killed those humans long ago.' replied Ignitus.
'Aren't those ruins supposedly cursed or haunted?' asked Rosie as she arrived.
'They are but I'm an expert in killing undead.' replied Stephen as Rosie knew that a long story is on the way.
'Well can you tell us how you became an expert in killing undead?' asked Rosie.
'I was on the planet Kronus in the 41st millennium and my allies were fighting against Tyranids, Orks, Dark Eldar and Chaos Space Marines. It was hot on that world and the environment wasn't too friendly either. My men and I were in the worst place imaginable. I was part of the company in a squad called "Tyranid Hunters", a group of soldiers that lost their family in a war and want to get revenge against the scum. When the war ended, I was the only one left standing except for Jennifer and Davian. Then robotic soldiers called Necrons came out of their tombs and atacked us. I thought we were dead meat until I heard a voice in my head saying that my parents were alive but not in this time. So the battle ended leaving a fresh scar on my armour and that was when I became an expert in killing undead.' said Stephen as he finished the story.
Rosie looked at Stephen's armour to see a deep cut in its leg. Stephen on the other hand felt the damaged armour and shivered at the thought that surged through his mind.
'What's wrong Stephen?' asked Firewalker when he arrived with Zephyr, Flame and Shadow.
'Huh? Oh it's nothing, just an old war wound that has memories attached to it. It always bothers me since I almost got killed once but that's a story left for when we come back.' replied Stephen.
And so they set off on their long and tiresome journey to The Lost City of the Old Ones but Morgir and Tyrune wanted to come as well.
'No I'm afraid you two can't come, it's too dangerous for us to bring you.' explained Stephen slowly so they could understand.
'Okay.' they whined as they walked back inside.
'Did you have to break their hopes and dreams?!' snapped Shadow as he tried to punch Stephen's jaw.
'I had to! How do YOU know, YOU'RE not their brother and friend!' retaliated Stephen as he stormed off to pack his travelling gear.
Meanwhile in Draganta's room
Isabeau was keeping watch over Draganta just in case he got another nightmare but luckily he didn't. She then lay down beside him and hugged him to keep him warm.
'My cute little Draganta.' she whispered to him.
Draganta just slept peacefully since he was still exhausted from the fury attack. Alarielle came in to check on the two of them in case Isabeau was hungry and in case Draganta had a fever.
'Are you both alright?' she asked.
'Yes Mom. We're fine.' answered Isabeau.
'That's good.' said Alarielle as she left them alone.
Back with Stephen and company
'I knew we should've taken that last fork in the road!' snapped Firewalker.
'Well if it wasn't for Flame, we wouldn't be in this position in the first place!' retaliated Shadow.
'Why did I have to be stuck with a bunch of bickering dragons?!' said Stephen to himself so he wasn't heard.
Suddenly he saw an obelisk in the distance marking the position of The Lost City of the Old Ones.
'Hey guys, take a look at that.' said Stephen as he began to run towards the obelisk.
'What the hell?' replied Firewalker as he also followed with Zephyr, Flame and Shadow.
When they got there, it was covered in an eerie mist spreading throughout the ruins. Zephyr felt a chill running down her spine since it was her first time in the place.
'According to Ignitus there's several types of evil monsters in this place. Gorgons, Hydras, Giant Scorpions, Giant Spiders, Harpies, Manticores and the place itself.' explained Stephen in an eerie tone of voice.
'SHUT UP!' screamed Zephyr.
'Fine. Just don't lose me.' warned Stephen as he walked off into the mist.
The mist was so thick and heavy that it made visibility impossible. Suddenly they here a bloodcurdling screech followed by a growl. Firewalker and the others ran to where the sounds were coming from only to find that Stephen was on the ground with a bite mark across his chest.
'RUN! GET OUTTA HERE!' he growled as the mist enveloped his body.
Firewalker ran over to him and placed Stephen on his back and flew with Zephyr, Shadow and Flame back to Weijin. Rosie climbed on top of Firewalker's back to keep Stephen secure.
'Hang in there Stephen, we're almost back home.' said Rosie trying to hold back the tears since Stephen was kind to her when she's sad and lonely.
In Weijin
Zephyr ran ahead to tell Alarielle and Braganza about Stephen's injuries. When they came out Alarielle burst into tears as her first born son was on Firewalker's back bleeding.
'No! Stephen, my little one! Don't die on us!' cried Alarielle as she turned away.
'M-Mom, I'm alright. Just a wound across my waist.' replied Stephen.
Alarielle turned around to see that Stephen's wound stopped bleeding somehow and him sitting up straight. He jumped down from Firewalker's back, making an impact crater as he landed.
'Stephen, you're alive! What happened to you?' cried Alarielle as she hugged Stephen tightly.
'Choking...can't breathe...starting to black-out.' rasped Stephen.
'Oops! Sorry.' replied Alarielle as she loosened her grip.
She then led Stephen inside as Ignitus wanted to see him alone to relay the findings to him.
'Stephen, what did you find out about The Lost City of the Old Ones?' asked Ignitus.
'I found out that I almost got killed in that blasted place!' replied Stephen as he walked away to his room and fell asleep.
Alarielle walked behind him since she didn't see Stephen in a long time since he was a baby when she had to send him into the future.
'So what really happened to you?' she asked in a concerned tone of voice.
'I was attacked by ten hydras, nine gorgons, eight harpies, seven giant scorpions, six giant spiders, five manticores, four giant wolves, three chimeras, two golems and one giant python. Even though I killed them all one hydra got me with its jaws and left me there to die.' explained Stephen making Alarielle hug him tightly.
'I'm never letting you out of my sight ever again!' she cried into his shoulder.
'Mom, I may not be a little hatchling anymore but I'll always be yours, but not literally.' said Stephen as Alarielle helped him out of his armour.
After that Stephen went to sleep since he was extremely tired of the days events. Alarielle gave him a goodnight kiss and left the room quietly.
Meanwhile in Morgir's Room
Rynn was putting Morgir to bed.
'Rynn?' said Morgir.
'Yes what is it Morgir?' replied Rynn.
'Can you read me a story, pwease?' said Morgir making her cute face.
'Sorry baby sis but I'm tired.' said Rynn and left the room but Stephen came along.
'Go ahead Rynn, I'll take over from here.' Stephen said walking in with a book called "The Fall of Medusa V"
"With events fast spiralling out of his control, Governor Soloman has turned to Sector Command, who brought the matter to the attention of the Inquisition. The Hold Ordos immediately dispatched a cell of Inquisitors to investigate matters on the planet. They arrived some weeks after his request to find that Hive Euyrales, the capital city of Medusa V, had now erupted into civil war too, with the Governor's personal guard and the Adeptus Astartes desperately fending off the rebels until a brave warrior stood on top of a ruined building glaring at the rebels with fury in his eyes. His name was...'
STEPHEN!' screamed Morgir in delight.
'Can I continue?' replied Stephen.
'Yes.' answered Morgir.
"The Space Marine Commander jumped off the tall building and landed on the back of a Chaos Defiler. He took out his swords and sliced the defilers arms off, then its legs and then its head. Now openly claiming allegiance to the Chaos gods, vast swathes of of the planet's populace have risen up against the Imperium and were cut down by the Space Marines precise gunfire. In just one day of non-stop fighting the planet of Medusa V was saved by one man with a deep secret. It was only until he came to the past that he realized that he was home and his family were surprised that he managed to survive long enough over the years, since the day of his birth. The End." said Stephen as he finished his story only to find that Morgir went to sleep easily.
He walked out of the room and met the angry face of Rynn.
'How come Morgir goes to sleep for you and if I'm reading to her she stays up all night?!' snapped Rynn.
'She's still young and she knows who really cares about her. You might be her sister but when it comes down to even reading her a story, you're making excuses. You'll learn soon enough that you'll be looking for her and she'll be with me and Draganta. I'm sorry Rynn but you have to make a sister-to-sister bond so she'll be looking forward to you coming into her room and read her a story. I just hope you wake up and realize that Morgir is your sister and she loves you as a big sister.' replied Stephen as Rynn stood there speechless.
'I know that I'm not a good sister to Morgir but if you can help me to become one then I'll appreciate it.' said Rynn as she was on the verge of crying from being told the truth.
Stephen felt sorry for his young sister since she didn't know how to amuse a young dragoness or a hatchling especially Morgir.
'Rynn it's alright. I'll help you get through this situation.' replied Stephen as Rynn cried into his shoulder for emotional support.
In Draganta's Room
Draganta was making battle tactics for any wars that happen to arise. Isabeau was watching him closely since he was her brother even if she was adopted nonetheless.
'What are you up to Draganta?' she asked curiously.
'I'm making new battle tactics in case there's another war in our lands.' replied Draganta as Isabeau threw her forelegs around his neck.
'You're so cute when you're thinking.' she replied massaging his shoulders.
'You want something don't you?' asked Draganta.
'All I want is you Draganta.' she replied nuzzling his neck affectionately.
'Well you got me but lets just go to bed. I'm exhausted.' replied Draganta.
Back in Stephen's Room
Alarielle looked at Stephen as he kept a tight grip on his Daemonhammer in case they were being attacked. But that was only a wild guess because the Chaos god Khorne gazed down upon the sleeping Chapter Master and prepared for the final battle.
DtD: Well now things are starting to heat up for the forces of Weijin.
S.P.: Are you sorry for attacking us?
DtD: Yes.
Scarlet: Will you stop attacking us and Rynn?
DtD: Yes but I've got one question...Can I have my stuff back now?(turns into a dragon hatchling and destroys the safe timer)
S.P.: WHAT THE HELL?
DtD:Sorry for the long wait folks. I've been trying to think of what will happen next and it was hard to think up of anything.(runs in, gets guns, swords and the rest of the stuff.) Read and Review folks while I make my escape with Morgir, Tyrune and Rosie in my Warhound Titan.
