If you think this story's coming to an end, don't be fooled, there's something coming that you won't expect, well, if you're really smart, you might expect it, but you probably won't. It took me forever to think of it. That's why it was a while since I updated the chapters.
Okay, I forgot to mention right now all Billy has is the Dragon Breath, and his shotgun.

Chapter 38: What the-? Wait, Wasn't This Already A Chapter Name?
"That must be the place. Quaint, isn't it?" Billy said, looking at a gigantic tower in front of them. "It's getting dark, I think we should set up camp and kill the guy tomorrow."
Omega wasn't actually planning to kill the person, he was going to assist Billy, he decided.
"So," Brian said as they were setting up the camp, "Billy, you seem to be a good judge on people, what do you think of that Lance guy?"
"Personally? I don't trust him," Billy said, which surprised Brian. Almost as if reading Brian's thoughts, he added, "think about it: this reason is a little weak, but what kind of demi-god would say he was good and sneak behind one of his own, who's powers were taken so he was defenseless, and stab him in the back? Also, he said he didn't make you forget about your friends, right?" Brian nodded. "Name them."
"Let's see... Ashley, Julie, Jake, and Daniel." Omega seemed like he confused himself. "But, that..."
"Doesn't sound right, does it?" Billy asked, smiling as Brian nodded again. "Like you said, I'm a pretty good judge of people. Also, have you noticed how he didn't tell us any bad news? He only told us what you wanted to hear, that if this person's destroyed, it's over and done. It all seems too perfect."
"So what does he really want?" Brian asked expectantly.
"I'm not a mind-reader, Omega," Billy said, smiling for the first time in the conversation, "we'll just have to wait for him to make his move, and he will. I know it. But I'll help you, and it's hard to lose with a kid who can't die. The question I have is, why does he want this man dead? He could've been lying about him."
Everyone finished setting up the camp, and started to get ready for bed. Brian took Ashley aside to talk to her.
They walked about thirty feet away from the camp. "I've missed you so much, Ashley," he started to say, "I was worried about you..."
"Me too," she said, nodding, "I've been so worried. I love you, Brian."
Brian couldn't think of what to say. He just looked at her, and something odd happened. A thought echoed through his head, 'she shouldn't have to...'
"What is it, Brian?" Ashley asked, her smile fading.
"Nothing," he shrugged, "just thinking about how beautiful you are. Well, we'd better get back."
They walked back to where everyone was sitting. They talked about unimportant things, just glad to be talking, while Billy, Leo, and Wilder just sat there. Then Leo jumped.
"Shh," she whispered, "there's something out there, watching us. I'm going to see what it is."
She silently stalked off, just like a cat. Then there was the sounds of Leo running, then she came back. "It ran, and I couldn't catch it. It didn't seem like a threat, though."
"Hey, Billy," Brian asked, "can I ask you something?"
Billy smiled. "You just did. Ask another question."
"Okay," Brian said, a little confused, "just out of curiosity, can you breathe fire and stuff when you're in human form?"
"It's different," Billy said, "in semi-human (Author's Note: That's what I'm calling a half-dragon human form from now on) and human form, it works like a magic spell, and in half-dragon and dragon form, I breathe it and can cast other spells."
(Author's Note: Skipping ahead to the next day because I can't think of anymore night-time conversation)
"Well," said Billy, walking up to the gigantic front door, "why don't we give Mr. Modest a decent welcome? Remember," he said in a more serious tone, "there are supposed to be several bodyguards for this guy, so keep an eye out. We don't even know how powerful this guy is."
They all nodded, and Billy pushed the door open.
There was nothing in the first room. There were some stairs on the other side of the room, though. They all went up the stairs (obviously).
Billy was the first one up the stairs. "Whoa," he said, looking at what was in front of him.
Brian was the last up the stairs. It was a gigantic room, with lots of circular, pod-looking machines. They were formed in a circle around the outside walls and went in about three walls, so there was still a gigantic area in the center.
"Cloning machines," Billy said informatively, "to build an army."
"What?" Ashley asked, "how do you know?"
"You know," said Billy, ignoring Ashley, "I've always prided myself on being a good actor, that's why this was so easy."
"What?" Brian said, "make some sense!"
"Okay," Billy walked in front of them and turning to face them, and Leo did the same.
"This doesn't seem right," Wilder said, his hand itching over his ax.
"You don't know how wrong you are, it wasn't right before." Billy said, still smiling.
"The bodyguards-" Leo began...
And Billy ended, "are us."

Whoa! What the hell? This is what happens when you drink too much caffeine! Oh, wait, I know how this can work out...
