Chapter 52
Baron of the Seven Suns
Larei ran out into the cave, flying up into the midpoint of the cave, being open and well lit. Thrask followed as well, but his wings could not fly as well as she could, but he sure hoped he could in the future. Dragons were still roaming in and out of entrances, as they were still preparing for an invasion, but it was more like a raid from the enemy. Larei wondered if this announcement would still work, but she was not sure about revealing her true Identity as a Queen of the Dragons rivals, the Basalisks. With a huge sense of regret, she flew down, making sure that nobody saw her, or else someone would ask what she was going to say, and lie after lie, she breaks.
Thrask followed her down, being extremely close to her as he fell. He was truly concerned on what she was doing, but he was not going to make her tell him what she was doing. He quickly landed as Larei gone to Teba, who then lifted her up with his arms, while he was still wielding his staff. Larei called Thrask, wanting to be next to him while Teba was carrying her. He came closer to her, and hopped onto Teba's back, as Larei lightly nudged Thrask on his left shoulder. He was still freezing cold because of the travelling underwater.
"Well? If you are not going to tell, and letting them get a chance to know us..." Teba whispered. "I am."
"Thanks." Larei said.
"No problem." Teba replied.
"Why is it- Still so cold?" Thrask questioned.
"Well, one you are still soaking wet from that freezing ocean, Another is because you are sitting on a Basalisk." Larei said. "They typically make the air around them cold."
"Well then, can we please hurry up with this?" Thrask complained.
"Ugh." Larei puffed. "Typical. You breathe fire, and Basalisks go vice versa. Nice. We got counteraction going on here. hm hm hmm."
He was still holding both of them, as finally a whole line of dragons were already travelling from one end and one point to another location. Some looked at Teba strange, and one of them gasped, being utterly surprised, and fearful of them. They seemed to have a faint understanding of Peace between them, so Thrask assumed that was why Larei wanted to remind them. The huge sound of multiple bickering was now gone, and only flurry of claws tapping the indestructible mountain, and some mechanical whirring could be heard. Teba paused for a quick second, being almost petrified himself. He suddenly began running like something was about to set off behind them.
"What is it?" Larei asked. "Is there something wrong?"
"Something is hostile around here.. I can feel it." Teba warned.
With haste, he ran up the inclined planes, and stopped at the entrance of the cave. Teba put both of the young Dragons down, looking like he was stressed out. Larei tried to call him out, but he kept on walking towards the entrance and exit. He began growling ferociously, but then it died down, as one of Larei's own flew down. She recognized the body that was confronting a cyborg looking human, his father, standing up to him. What she did not realize was that the new reform to their nature was rigged, and set them up for catastrophe. He stood there, doing nothing, but staring at him, watching him closely instead of attacking until he grew claws and stabbed him in the center, and then detaching the blades from his holster. It grew a new pair of blades that were functioning as claws, as the old ones were still in Larei's father, killing him from the inside.
"N-o... This cannot be happening!" Larei shouted.
"Shh... All we can do is hope that the three of us can take him down."
"Stay here Larei and Thrask." Teba commanded. "I will avenge him for you."
Teba walked from the cave, being very sure of his plans, as he took his gaze and laid it straight onto the Cyborg. Teba hoped that it could turn to stone, so he kept on doing it, and soon he was now frozen standing, being encased in stone. With what he just did, they cheered, but then He noticed what was going on. It was all a setup, as he was slowly breaking out, and getting faster, breaking bits of the encasement. The Basalisk tried his hardest to reach the encasement just in time to snap his neck, but it was too late. The cyborg broke out, and sent Teba back, making the old Basalisk plummet into the indestructible mountain. Teba recovered quick, speeding at him while spewing extremely frigid air at the Cyborg. The air hit it, but nothing seemed to be working, as Teba drove him into the ground using his clawed fist.
"Is that all you got?" He said in a robotic voice. "This will be easy."
"Actually, I got more up my sleeves." Teba bluffed. "You are not hurting any more innocent lives."
"Hmph." The Cyborg sighed. "Whatever you say."
Teba quickly began emitting a deadly aura, causing his systems to become cold, and then the air became frigid, hurting anybody within it. He quickly slammed the ground, causing a bunch of ice spikes to shoot up on the ground, and ones that were in the air sped towards him with extreme speed. The Cyborg saw himself freezing from bottom to top, and it was spreading on his armor quick. When he came here, he had one objective, steal the source of what the tank shot, Thrask. He was there when The tank used his power to kill millions of innocent souls, all because of one unusual child. The Cyborg found his objective straight ahead, as he ran for it, hoping he could outrun the Basalisk, but the truth was, he couldn't. Teba kept on jumping over him, and cutting him off, until he finally jumped into the entrance, therefore blocking it. He pulled out a very peculiar looking crossbow and shot it at the Basalisk. The arrow was supposed to peirce Dragon's scales, but what he did not know about was the Basalisks have ones that are stronger, almost like a walking tank, except living and breathing. Teba was knocked back by the arrow as the projectile bounced off of his scales. The Cyborg ran towards both of them, being very sure on his target. He knew that the Red one was Thrask, and the other one was not any problem, so he prioritized the secret weapon first.
Thrask saw him coming in fast, having a crazed look in his eyes, so he began readying a beam, and he was quick in doing so. Once he was about four long footsteps closer, he fired the beam, having a huge size, and a very Destructive property, causing the Cyborg to become slowed down, but that was not enough, as the Cyborg grabbed him by his neck, and then he teleported away.
"What the Heck... How did he get past me?" Teba confusingly asked.
"Agnis. That crossbow is from there, and the way he fights was straight for his target." Larei explained. "I do not think you could easily beat every one of them."
"Well, whatever that was, I know he took your friend, and disappeared with no trace."
"You're Right..." Larei gasped. "Teba, can you try and find him, and possibly help him escape his grasp?"
"Larei, you know I can." Teba said, being humiliated. "Just tell me. Where is Agnis?"
She stuttered for a moment, then he was cut off by a bunch of who Seized Teba, and put down Larei. Each one of them had either a sharp object pointing to their head or eye, or was ready to breathe the hottest fire that anyone ever knew. Everyone was Panicking about the Basalisk coming into the cave, and being seen, but now they picked up Larei and seperated her from Teba.
"Please Tel-" Larei said before getting silenced by one of the Dragon's claws that shut her mouth with ease. "You are safe now." One of them said as she was being taken away. Teba was then carried on the backs of several dragons, and then immobilized him with a very strong tail whip, causing his leg to start walking strangely, and then he was also put down.
"Feeling lucky now?" One of them teased.
"I guess not. Since you are really trying to tick me off." Teba said.
"So what? You are outnumbered by us!" One of them pointed out.
"Only thing you forgot, was that I can easily kill you..." Teba angrily said."Nobody... messes with Larei."
"You are joking. She is not your friend, and even if so, she would never let you be by her side." One of them tried to deceive Teba.
"Go ahead... Try and melt my flesh and bones.. You will see." Teba dared.
Then he was hung over a pit of boiling Magma, as he was hung by his tail. Teba looked down, knowing what he could do. He was not too resistant to Fire, but Lava would end his life. One of them, caused the rope to fall, by swinging his tail, causing it to be cut like a sword. Teba began falling, and as soon as he found the right moment, he sent out a blast of Cold energy, causing the Magma to Solidify and become ice Instantly. A huge pillar of frost spewed from the bottom of the pit, and the Basalisk climbed out with no difficulty. He quickly reacted to one of the claws, and spewed a cold stream of air and caused them to freeze being encased in ice.
Teba sighed and moved on as he walked out of the cave with the large pit of fire, and looked at the frozen dragons, all posing there lifelessly. "I was going to let you know of a Peace treaty, and probably our kind could live with your kind, but... I guess that will never happen." Teba regretfully said. "I better get back to her. She must be miserable." He said.
"TEBA!" Larei called as Teba could hear it from down at the bottom. The call was coming from up top, being amplified by an echo. He ran faster than a speeding jet, making a huge trail of smoke coming from his feet. Soon, he found her, being locked up in a cage, on the edge of a rock and about to fall into another pit of magma. Teba jumped down as Larei thought he was crazy, but he was not. The cage tilted, and fell, causing both Larei and the cage to be falling and plummeting into the lava. Teba found this out, and caused the lava to be instantly solid, using his aura. The metal bars broke when it hit the ice, as it fell apart into pieces. Then it caused Larei to hit the ice hard enough to injure her leg. She groaned in pain, as Teba ran over and carried her on his back.
"Are you alright?" Teba asked with concern.
"I can handle it." Larei answered back. "Anyways, to answer your previous question, it is next to the Cold nova, where two suns are close to each other, and in the middle there is a huge planet, that somehow cannot be incinerated by the solar flares."
"Okay, Thank you my Dear." Teba thanked her. "I will see you soon."
"You can do it Teba, Beat him to a pulp!" Larei violently commanded.
