Spells and Louds
Chapter 220: Dragon Games! Part 1.
(The World of Ever After High.)
The date is now May 30, and the time is a brisk and eventful morning and lots of people and beings are making their way through the great gate and some Guardian made portals, from Phyrra, Charmcaster, Raven (Teen Titans) and Gyro.
Many from far and wide have come to see this first time interdimensional sports to see who has the better dragon riders.
Neil then leaps off of his office balcony and lands onto the ground. He then looks around and sees the guests coming. "Damn, look at this, there is a lot of people coming in!"
Friends and family from Royal Woods, Monster High, Equestria, the Koprulu Sector and of course he sees the members of the Dragonflights.
"True" said Giles as he stands next to Neil. "We haven't had a crowd this big in ….. Well, never before. Even on the Legacy Day Bookball games, we've never had a big crowd."
Lynn Jr stops and goes to him. "Did you just say Bookball?"
Neil sighs. "Oh dear, hello Lynn Loud Junior. Yes he said Bookball and it is a sport similar to football, only the ball is the book and at most times our opponents are the Giants from Beanstalk High and they are literally giants."
"Our star player of course was Daring Charming, but he saw potential inside of one certain girl, so now Cerise Hood is our star player and she still is" replied Cerise.
"LJ! Come on, let's get to those good seats!" Lynn Sr calls out to her.
"Comin dad!" She then looks to Neil and Giles. "Thanks for the info guys!" Lynn Jr races off to her family.
Neil and Giles just watch her leave. "You think she might want to participate in our sport or have Royal Woods High School go against us on Bookball?" asked Neil.
"Those odds are possible, but the chances of Royal Woods beating us at Bookball would be impossible unless they have some fairytale like traits to participate and beat us. But let's not get to that" replied Giles. He then sees some people that Neil might now. "And I do believe we have some very powerful guests." Neil turns around and is a bit shocked to them finally here.
Queen Alexstrasza along with her fellow dragon aspects approach him. "Greetings Deathwing, it is good to see you once again."
"And good to see you once again your majesty, but note that Deathwing is currently inactive and it is just me in control and out on the open, Neil A. Spellman" replied Neil. "The very same person who still harbors the destroyer."
"Pardon for that, but I am more accustomed to referring to my old associate and former member of the Dragonflights, is he still within you and fearing us?" asked Alexstrasza, her voice sounding concerned.
Neil looks into his inner thoughts. 'Hey! You in there big guy?!' "Tell her I am not here! Now leave me alone!"
Neil then goes back to reality and looks to the dragon queen. "Oh, well he's in here. Just doesn't wanna come out. You know how he is." Niel chuckles nervously.
Alexstrasza sighs. "Very well then, I hoped we could talk and perhaps find some common ground into bringing him back into the order. But I will accept his decision of secluding himself deep into exile."
"Let us not get to that your majesty" said Giles. "This is about the dragon games and I know that you and your people are here to see which school has the better dragon riders and to see how well they can cooperate with said dragons."
"True, and we all look forward to seeing which school is superior with the dragon games" replied Alexstrasza. "Also, i brought someone else with me to come and watch this event. I do believe you know him, or better yet have heard of him." She then looks to the portal Gyro made and who they see shocks Neil to his core.
"No freaking way!"
Coming through the portal being accompanied by Genn Greymane and Valeera Sanguinar is the man who is in charge of maintaining the peace between the Alliance and the Horde, High King of the Alliance and King of Stormwind, Anduin Llane Wrynn. "Greetings Mr. Spellman, but I do recall from the Guardian that you harbor the dragon known as Deathwing, I also got the same information from one of my advisors, Wrathion."
Neil looks to Wrathion who waves and then he looks back to the high king. "Yes, it is true that Deathwing is still within me, but poses no threat to the realms unless my family is being threatened." Neil then gets nervous and shakes the man's hand. "It is a true honor to meet you in person for the first time your majesty, "
"The honor is all mine, I understand from what I heard that you and your children as well as some others that you are all a group of heroes who are trying their best to maintain the pace in the realms" said Anduin. "That I can fully respect and I appreciate the help in the hunt for Sylvanas Windrunner."
"United, we can stand against evil and hunt down the banshee queen who would dare break the pact and threaten the meaning of all life, I intend to make sure we hunt her down and make her pay for burning Teldrassil" said Neil. "We can't make promises that we will be able to find her, but you can be damn sure we will try our hardest to stop her and put an end to her little crusade against all things living." Neil then chuckles. "Wow! And I thought my son Lincoln is the one who is supposed to do the motivational speeches."
Anduin chuckles. "As you appreciate with what your son is capable of, as my father was proud of the choices I made. You remind me of Varian now that I see it."
"Thank you your majesty, also I suggest you get to your seats along with you associates, the games will commence in an hour" replied Neil.
"Very well then" Anduin, Greymane, Valeera and Wrathion along with Queen Alexstrasza and her aspects all head off to the Dragon arena. Neil and Giles watch them leave and standing next to them now is Gyro.
"You brought the king here didn't you?" asked Neil.
"He wanted to know more about this place and you guys, he heard about it from Wrathion" replied Gyro. "You know that grandson of yours cannot keep secrets from the high king."
Neil sighs. "Of course."
"So, where are the twins?" asked Gyro.
"They are both set and ready with their Netherdrakes at the dragon stable and they are going to show everyone just how skilled and linked they are with their dragon mounts" replied Giles.
"If I can recall, that Netherdrake mounts are not easy to find within Azeroth" replied Neil. "Unless you're willing to go time walking into the harsh desolated lands of Outland."
"Going through the burning crusade to find those rare and powerful beasts of dragons" said Gyro. "Though it is still unknown as to where the Nether dragons come from, either they are forged from the blighted power of DeathWing when he arrived on Draenor and laid his eggs or were they brought to Draenor during the Legions invasion and straight from the twisting Nether of the Nathrezim."
"That is an origin everyone will never know or even figure out" replied Neil.
Giles then looks to the portal. "And it seems our competition has arrived." Neil and Gyro also turn around and they see them.
Regal Academy, all the students with their magical armor, friends, teachers and with them their dragons as well as the Guardian Dragons. "They look like they are armed and ready to compete against us. Well, time to be hospitable and greet them." Neil, Giles and Gyro go over to greet them.
"Greetings and welcome to the world of Ever After and to Ever After High" said Neil. "It is good to see you all once again."
"And it is an honor to be here" replied Headmistress Cinderella. She then sees the people coming through the portals. "And I see we have many guests here to come and see this and my, what a crowd."
"All of them are either friends from other realms or high ranking members of the Immortal council and the multiverse alliance" replied Gyro. He then sees the students who still be participating for the Dragon Games. Rose Cinderella, Hawk Snow white, Travis Beast, Ling-Ling Ironfan, Astoria Rapunzel, Joy LeFrog, Odette Swan, Gerald Ugly duckling, Violet Ogre and Finn Whale, and of course they have their dragons with them and their enchanted armor.
Neil and Giles recall the students they have that will compete against them. Raven Queen, Apple White, Darling Charming, Ashlynn Ella, Holly O'Hair, Poppy O'Hair, Maddeline Hatter, Vicky Broomstick, Melody Piper and Duchess Swan. "Well, you all look well and ready" said Neil.
"We are ready to bring home honor and glory to Regal Academy and all dragon riders there" said Hawk with motivation. "And also see how well Ever After High is with their dragons." The others also agree.
"But mostly just victory to prove that we have better dragon riders" said Professor Beast.
"But, this is about respect between both schools and to show honor" replied Professor Rapunzel.
"I don't quite see it, since Professor Beast here is trying to see who is better" replied Giles.
"Oh, don't mind him" said Cinderella. "He's just like that, always trying to see whose better as usual. But I do wanna know, how is Vicky Broomstick doing?" All of the Regal Academy people wanna know how the former villainess is doing in this school.
"She's doing fantastic!" said Neil. "Her grades are good, mostly onto evil based classes, such as Home Evilnomics, History of Evil Spells, Bewitching song, Hexonomics and Spells, Hexes and General Villainy. She is a dang good Grade-A student!"
"And let us not forget, she is also an ace in Advanced Dragon Training" replied Giles. "And she is a part of the games and will be doing her best to show what she can do after training with her friends and Professor Evil Queen."
"Then we look forward to seeing how well Vicky is with her skills here!" said Astoria. The others also agreed, they wanna see how well this witch has progressed in this school.
Neil, Giles and Gyro chuckle. "Looks like we got ourselves some front line motivation within the ranks!"
Neil then speaks with the words of Deathwing. "Well then, let the Dragon Games begin."
Then something large also comes out of the portal, they see a giant Black Dragon emerge. "Greetings to you all, I am the Dragon King of Regal Academy and I am here for the Dragon Games."
Neil and Giles look to the teachers. "What the hell is this?" asked Neil.
"Oh him?" said Travis. "The big guy is the dragon king from our world, he wants to be part of this. Well, not to compete, but only to watch how well Ever After High is."
"Indeed, and I am hoping they can give it they're all to impress me" replied the dragon king.
Neil and Giles look to each other and then to the large black dragon. "Looks like we're gonna need a bigger seat for this guy" said Giles.
"And I suggest we steer him clear of Alexstrasza the dragon queen" said Gyro. "I don't want a dragon who says he is a king to flirt with the aspect of life and queen of all dragons."
"Well, this day just got better" said Neil. "Let's get you all to the stables and ready yourselves for the dragon games to come!"
(Ever After Dragon Arena.)
"We are live here in Ever After for the second annual Dragon Games! And I am your host on the stadium grounds, Blondie Lockes! We are all packing the stadium and a lot of people are showing signs of confidence and motivation, I can only see how much cheers there will be when the dragons all come out and show their stuff! The fans, the festival and of course, the Dragons! And we are happy to have some every powerful and iconic beings across the realms to be here!" The camera sees all the members of the people who are at the Royal Stands.
The Ever After High staff and Sally Whitemane, the Regal Academy teachers and the Dragon King, members of the Koprulu Sector, Gyro and the order of the Guardians and powerful and iconic representative members from Azeroth.
All the people in the stadium cheer. "I would also like to thank FutureTech for helping sponsor these games and providing the Burst Drones to act as the camera crew so everyone within the realms can see all of this on their screens! So stay tuned folks, because these dragon games are ones not to miss! And now I am giving this live feed to our guest commentators, Leon Davion Spellman, Sergei Davion Spellman and WWE commentator Bryon Saxton!"
"Thank you very much for that intro Miss Lockes" said Leon. He then looks to the camera. "Hello and welcome my friends from across the realms, I am Leon and with me is my good brother Sergei and special gust commentator of WWE Byron Saxton!"
"And it is a good day to see some dragons take flight and dominate the playing field!" said Sergei. "And also the skies!"
"This is my first time in another dimension and I am honored to be the commentator here!" said Byron. "This is awesome!"
"And it is awesome indeed! Now we're gonna lay down the things that will happen today on the first day of the two days of the Dragon Games!" said Leon. "Now on this day, we will first get an air show from our finest and youngest riders in history and after that is the big flight obstacle course to see how well they can handle their dragons through all the sharp turns and maneuvers. So I guess you can say it's a show of true skill, or the world's biggest pet show!"
Sergei and Byron look to him. "Was that supposed to be funny?"
Leon stops chuckling. "No, no it is not. But afterwards we're going to have more to come, from flying skills, obstacle encounter, marksmanship traits and combat skills! There will be powerful judges who will be judging on how good they are, and they are members of the Dragonflights! The rest of the Dragon Games will be announced on the following day! Back to you Blondie Lockes!"
"Thank you, and as for the judges let's see who they are!" said Blondie Lockes and the Burst Drone Cameras redirect to the judges by the grand Aspect seats.
"We have th aspect of magic and the proud defender to the blue dragons of Northrend, Malygos!" The elven man shows his power of magic and into fireworks. "Wow! Now that is impressive!"
"Second we have the keeper of time and ardent defender to all Bronze Dragons of Kalimdor, Chromie!" The gnome waves to everyone. Yeah, her human form is a gnome. "She may be small but she is dangerous!"
"And finally, the final judge to the dragon games is the queen of all dragons on Azeroth and the life binder herself! Queen Alexstrasza!" Alexstrasza stands up and she sends a bolt of flame into the sky that explodes and makes the symbol of the Dragonflights. "Wow! She looks like she's styled and professional enough to join, but she is a judge."
"And why did we choose them as the judges? Well who better to judge the dragon games, then dragons who have been around the creation for more than ten thousand years! And now back to you commentators!"
"Thank you very much there Blondie Lockes." replied Byron Saxton. "And now I think it's time to see who will be the ones competing for today's games!"
They then see that both doors open from opposing sides and coming out are the five team members and their dragons.
Ever After High: Maddeline Hatter, Melody Piper, Holly O'Hair, Poppy O'Hair and Ashlynn Ella.
Regal Academy: Joy LeFrog, Odette Swan, Gerald Ugly duckling, Violet Ogre and Finn Whale.
Everyone cheers for the arrival of the teams. "Why is there a whale?" asked Byron.
"He's a student, get over it man" replied Sergei. "And now it's time for the temporary queen of Ever After to begin the Dragon Games!"
Sally Whitemane then stands up from her throne and looks upon everyone. "Let this be the day to start a new era to the realms and to the great sport of this realm and beyond! I hereby declare these Dragon Games, to commence!" She strikes her staff to the ground and it sends a bolt of light energy that explodes into fireworks, and then two shadowy dragons come out of the light fireworks and they dive down and land onto the area.
"And it looks like the air show is about to begin!" said Blondie Lockes.
The Regal Academy students are shocked to see the 12 year old twins of the Royal Defenders on Dragons they have never seen before.
Lincoln looks to his twin. "You ready for this sis?"
Linka looks around and sees all of their friends and family cheering them on. "As ready as we'll ever be!"
They then look to they're Netherdrakes who were born ready. "Let's fly!" They take off with one big wing gust and take to the skies. Everyone looks in awe at how skilled these kids are with their powerful drakes.
Lincoln and Linka create currents of shadow fire while they barrel role in the sky, they then drag the fire behind them and it turns into the symbol of Deathwing as they trail off.
They then dive bomb and send bolts of shadow fire to the ground, the shadow fire bounces off the ground and comes back to them, they're drakes blast the fire and it creates an explosion in which they fly through unharmed.
They then fly together into the sky and hold hands, they then jump off their dragons and dive bomb towards the ground and with speed and precision Nel'Thorious and Shall'Cross are able to get to them on time before they even hit the ground. Now that is heart stunning!
And finally, they fly at opposing sides and then charge at each other at full speed. They create airings of fire in which they pass through and they slightly miss each other and high five in midflight. They then take to the skies once again and send a barrage of fire onto the clouds and then they drop back down and land near the judges, they all look to the clouds and see that it has formed the shape of Azeroth and its regions.
Now that was enough to make the judges look in awe and shock. Everyone cheers at the show.
"That's my grandkids!" said Pop-pop.
"Now that was awesome!" said Jordan.
"Well, that's what I call a stunning aerial show and from the youngest riders across the realms" said Sergei.
"Good show you two, dang good show!" said Byron Saxton.
"And with that said and done, let's see how well the students can fair with today's Dragon Games obstacle course!" said Leon.
Gyro uses his magic and the obstacle course appears onto the area and they begin.
First up: Maneuvering.
Gerald and Odette with their dragons fly and pass through the hoops of fire as they also get somewhat smaller, then they bypass some large coned obstacle courses coming out of the ground and finally they glide underneath some poles until they reach the landing zone.
"Now that is incredible and no mistakes!" said Leon.
"Now let's see how Regal Academy fairs" said Byron.
Holly and Poppy high five and they fly and barrel roll at full speed with their dragons and then switch sides and even pass through the hoops again, they then do some barrel roles as they pass by all of the ground surfacing coned obstacles and then they glide steadily underneath the poles, though Poppy and her dragon are doing it upside down, and they land right next to Odette and Gerald who are stunned at what they just did.
Everyone and the judge's claps and cheers at what they did, and the Regal Academy people are at a loss for words, they can perform some aerial tricks as they go by?!
"Wow! That was, kinda stunning" said Byron Saxton.
"Well, they were trained by the very best in Dragon Games. The great and powerful Professor Evil Queen, one of the old guard to the old Dragon Games" replied Sergei.
Next up, flying skills.
Maddeline Hatter takes off to the skies with her dragon all while wonderlandishly giggling and they do some barrel roles and tactical dragon flight skills that some have never seen, she flies upside down, backwards, through the 4th wall, glides near the ground and then she has a tea party on her dragon.
Everyone has no clue what the heck is even going on and how is she doing that?! Next up is Joy LeFrog, with her dragon they also do some oddball flying and she turns into a frog and they manage to fly through without her even falling off, from dive bombing, more barrel roles and in a way it looks like bull riding, Joy maintains her posture and sticks to her dragon, even as a frog.
"Okay, so is this about flying or circus themed flight?" asked Leon.
"Seems a bit of both, and I have to admit this is very funny" replied Sergei.
"Let's see how they're skills in marksman ship is" said Byron Saxton.
Finn Whale showcases with his dragon and they have to knock out the many targets, some on the ground, moving and in the air, and also in the air are moving as well.
"This is not gonna be a walk in the park" said Blondie Lockes. "There are some targets he must not take down, the blue marked targets must not be hit, and the red ones are the targets!"
Finn's dragon with his instructions manage to take down all targets without even burning the blue ones, they do bounce off and almost hit the staff who are watching but Neil deflects them and so does Gyro. "You might wanna be careful where you aim kid."
This is embarrassing.
Ashlynn and her dragon are up next and they are able to blast all the targets even the moving ones with precision, she is good with a bow and arrow and her dragon knows how to observe and aim true.
"Ever After High is doing impressive work, this could be a shows topping win for the school" said Leon.
"And the crowds are loving this, they are skilled at dragon riding and training" said Byron Saxton.
"We still have one more thing to see if they are as good as they are, the combat training!" said Sergei. "And some of you are all wondering how this works, well I will let Blondie Lockes tell you all! Blondie."
"Thank you very much Sergei" replied Blondie Lockes. "Now the rules are simple, sword, shield and a dragon by your side. The arena will be infested with Lava Spawns and some Zerglings, the rider has to cooperate with their dragon and learn to tag team when they face both melee and range enemies, and they have some health bars on the screen and have to make sure they do not take any damage, the rider and dragon with the least taken damage wins!"
"Then let's get to it people!" said Byron Saxton. "Man this is awesome! I now love dragons!"
Charmcaster gets onto the field and she summons some lava spawns straight out of the Firelands from Azeroth, then Neil gives the signal and Zagara unleashes some Zerglings, they are genetically modified straight from StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm, now that is dangerous and thank you Abathur!
First up, Violet Ogre and her dragon, she is armed with an axe and a shield and he dragon prepares for battle.
They both fight with might and charge into the Frey, though they have taken some damage they stand strong and manage to slaughter through the melee and ranged enemies. They walk out and only too 9 percent damage, it was mostly from the lava spawns.
Up next is Melody Piper, she strokes her dragon and they both know what to do. They then see the enemies being summoned, Melody Piper taps her foot as if she is imagining she is hearing a musical beat and her dragon is moving its tail side to side also imagining some music. All of the students of Ever After High know what this is, it's time for Melody and her dragon to move and groove to combat!
Armed with just a sword and shield and her dragon with her they bust some dance moves and dodge all the attacks. Melody goes melee dance with her sword on the Zerglings and her dragon dodges and grooves and blasts the Lava Spawns. Everyone is stunned at this, she is turning this into a dance floor and her health bar along with her dragon is still alright!
In the end, Melody stands tall with her dragon as they both high five amongst the remains of their enemies.
Neil drops his mug and Gyro drops his pretzel and pretty much everyone is amazed, mostly the students and staff from Regal Academy.
"How did she even do that?!" asked Professor Beast.
"We're allowed to dance while fighting?" asked Odette.
Then Professor Evil Queen passes by them. "That's because I know my students I understand what they are capable of and motivate them to use their talents, skills and traits so they can add it up and improve their training, each of them has their own thing and none of them are the same, and that's what makes my team special. We have our own way to impress and win."
The Regal Academy kids look to Professor Beast, who always tells them to follow his instructions and do it right. "What? We have to go by the book." This was not looking good for Regal Academy.
Everyone cheers at Melody Piper and her dancing combat, or should we say dance fight!
"Now that's how it's done, music to my ears!" cheered Luna.
"She has got to visit and tag team with us with our songs!" said Sam.
Alexstrasza and the other two dragon aspect judges talk this through and they know that the winners will be revealed on the following day. "It seems that both sides have shown greatness in their skills of the first round of the games and we are truly impressed, but it looks as if Ever After is showing true potential with their personal traits when it comes to proving who they are and what they can do, even with dragons. We shall announce the winners on the last day of the games, tomorrow."
The Burst Drones then look back to the Commentators. "And with that being said, looks like the opening games are done and we're all gonna be looking forward to the Dragon Games Ball tournament tomorrow!" said Leon.
"We can only imagine who is going to win these games and who will bring home glory and possibly bragging right sto their school and world!" said Sergei.
"And now that this is done until tomorrow, we're gonna go back to Blondie Lockes!" said Byron Saxton.
"Thank you Byron. Well, looks like Ever After High might score it today, but who knows what will happen on tomorrows games, will Ever After High regain they're pedestal and win it all or will Regal Academy rise up from the ashes and prove us all they are better, find out next time on the Ever After High vs Regal Academy Dragon Games! I am Blondie Lockes and we are signing off! Enjoy the festival everyone!"
To be continued …..
A/N: First day, looking good and it is awesome to make this. I haven't made something this intense in a long while and stay tuned for the next chapter of the Dragon Games and who knows who will win. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
