Part 4 A Daring Rescue
By: Drew H. Schneider The boy followed the orcs for hours trying to think of a plan to save Lombardia. However by the time the orcs got back to their camp the boy had nothing. To celebrate the capture of the dragon the orcs did what any orc would do they broke out the beer. The orcs drank enough beer to get 50 dragons drunk (and dragons have a very high tolerance for alcohol.). Finally the orcs fell asleep. The boy realized this was his chance to save Lombardia. He went over to the cage to see if he could break it but when he touched the bars he got shocked 'no wonder Lombardia hadn't broken out' the boy thought. (It hadn't occurred to the boy at the time but orc don't have access to magical cages so these orcs must be working for someone). The boy looked around desperately for the key to the cage. He spotted it but it was in the biggest ugliest looking orc in the group. The boy carefully went over to the sleeping brute and attempted to lift the keys from him.

But he cried most of all at the thought of all his family and friends dying when the orcs found the village. Somehow his feelings transmitted themselves to Lombardia and the mighty dragon awoke. (Now a magical cage may be able to hold a normal dragon. But not one that's as enraged as Lombardia was). Lombardia blasted her way out of the cage using her energy cannons. She then charged the orcish troop. The orcs immediately woke up and tried to capture the dragon. However the were no match for a dragon who was awake and really pissed off. The dragon charged the orcs and gored most of them while blasting the rest. The boy was knocked out and didn't see the slaughter. He awoke after being continually nudged by the dragon. The dragon took him home then went back to its cave. However from the dead bodies a lone orc got up. This orc however was different this orc was a human in disguise. "So my master was correct one techno dragon survived. Well ill have to fix that." The figure said before disappearing in a flash of blue light...
