Here's the long awaited chapter five.

"We should find him quickly." Diaz started pacing back and forth again.
Damia sat down at the table. "He could be anywhere by now."
"Has anyone seen Quetinno?" Rose asked as she joined Damia at the table.
"No." Diaz froze in his tracks.
"Ooooohhhh maaaaaaaaann. If he took Quetinno, then he's probably half way around the world already!" Damia leaned back in her chair so it was halfway off the ground.
Syuveil burst through the doors. Damia's chair fell backwards. She hit the ground with a soft thump. Damia rubbed her head. Everyone looked towards Syuveil.
"What is it, Syuveil?" Diaz asked the man.
"Did anyone know that Kanzas flew off with his Dragon?" Syuveil looked at everyone.
Zieg sighed. "So he did take Quetinno."
-----
Kanzas stared out at the ocean. "We should be headed back, shouldn't we, boy?" He patted the Dragon's neck. The Dragon nodded his head. He slowly started to turn, so they would face the direction that they had come from. Quetinno stopped in his place, and started to growl softly.
"What is it, boy?" Kanzas looked all around them, trying to find anything that would make Quetinno growl. Nothing. Then he saw it. Winglies. 'Curse those Winglies.' He thought to himself as he stared out at the Winglies ahead of them. There were six Winglies. All were male. Quetinno continued to growl, except louder this time. "It's okay. It's okay." He reassured the violet Dragon. 'I have to get rid of these Winglies before they run back to their Master and tell on me for having a Dragon.' He patted Quetinno on his neck once more before telling him to fly towards the Winglies. "Let's kick some Wingly butt." He said as his Dragon charged at the Winglies.

Sophia watched over the boy as he slept.
'He's so innocent. So why is he here? An innocent boy such as him shouldn't be trained to kill humans. It's just not right.' Sophia leaned back in a chair. Boralo rolled over on his side and fell off the bed. Sophia immediately helped him stand.
He rubbed his head. "Ouch……"
"Are you okay?" She asked him.
He started laughing. Sophia just stared at him. "I'm just fine!" He jumped up and down.
"You should……oh never-mind." Sophia sighed a bit as she watched the boy hop back in his bed. "You're going to go back to sleep?"
He nodded. "Yep. I'm still very tired. " He quickly fell back asleep.
Sophia tucked the boy in and quietly left the room to guard the door. She just stood there outside of the door, watching everything around her. She couldn't let anything get into this room while Boralo was sleeping.
-----
Hajeri sat at the table quietly. He kept a close eye on Mike. Mike started to get nervous. Phirala poked at her food with her fork.
"I think this thing has eyes." Phirala said as she continued poking at the strange food on her plate.
"Don't be silly, shrimp. I'm pretty sure Saphira killed the food before she cooked it." Milro took one glance at his food, then looked up at Saphira. "You did kill this thing, and cook it, right?"
Saphira glared at him. "Of course I did." She looked at her food. "Maybe I should get the Queen to cook something for us."
Milro took one bite of the food and spit it out. "YUCK!!! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?! KILL US?!?!"
"HEY!! It ain't my fault I ain't that good of a cook!" Saphira hardly ever lost her temper, so everyone had shocked looks on their faces, except for Milro and Hajeri. Hajeri was now looking out of the window and Milro just started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?!" Saphira yelled at Milro. He just continued laughing. She picked up her plate of food and threw it at him. The plate flew and hit his face. He took the plate off, wiped the food off of his face, and then started laughing again. Saphira jumped across the table and landed right on top of him, and started punching him. Milro simply put his hands up in front of his face to block her blows and continued laughing. Hajeri stood up and left the room. Phirala stared at the two on the floor. Saphira continued punching and Milro continued laughing. Mike stared along with Phirala. Saphira was now on top of the table, throwing food at Milro and Milro was doing his best to stop laughing, but he just couldn't do it. Mike honestly didn't really understand why Milro was laughing. But then again, Milro was Milro and he was the Hate Dragoon who liked to pick on people and tick them off.
The Queen walked in. "OH DEAR!!" Her eyes were wide as she watched Saphira, now in her Dragoon form with pink armor and wings, beat up on Milro. Well, try to anyway. Milro was running around the whole dining room, laughing his head off. "ENOUGH!!" The Queen yelled. Milro and Saphira froze. Saphira's face looked as pink as the armor that she was wearing. Saphira quickly returned to her normal form, her face still very pink with embarrassment.
"What's going on?" The Queen asked, looking at each person.
Saphira pointed to Milro.
"He started it!" Saphira said. Milro was standing a few feet away from her, holding his mouth so he wouldn't burst out laughing again.
The Queen looked at Milro. "Milro?" Milro just stood there, continuing to cover his mouth. "Milro, please say something."
Milro burst out laughing. "She……she……" He could barely talk because he was laughing so hard.
"Oh never-mind. Please go to your rooms now." The Queen really didn't feel like dealing with those two boneheads right now. Everyone quietly obeyed, except for Milro who was still laughing, and went to their separate rooms. "What am I going to do with those two?" She asked herself. She left the dining room and headed back towards her room.

Hajeri sat on a bench in the garden. It was close to lunch time. He waited. Not for lunch time, but for someone else. He looked up as he heard footsteps.
'About time.' Hajeri walked up to the person. It was none other than Mike.
"Oh…Hajeri." Mike seemed a bit nervous.
"Hey." Hajeri walked up to him until he was two feet in front of him.
"Uh……what…what do you want?" Mike asked him.
"Just to ask you a question, that's all." Hajeri answered.
Mike knew something was up. Since when did Hajeri want to ask him a question? "What's the question?"
"Do you bruise easily?" Hajeri asked him.
"Uh……what kind of question is that?" Mike stepped back a bit.
"Never answer a question with a question." Hajeri punched Mike in the face. Mike fell to the ground. Hajeri really didn't like Mike. Hajeri got on top of him and started punching.
'For me to get Saphira, he needs to be out of the way. And the only way to get him out of the way, is to kill him.' Hajeri thought to himself as he continued throwing punches at Mike. Mike put his arms in front of his face to stop most of the blows. Hajeri got off of him, and stepped back. "Fight like a man!" He picked Mike up and stood him up. "I want a real fight!"
Mike truly didn't want to fight him, but he knew he had to. He charged at Hajeri. Hajeri side-stepped to the right and Mike fell to the ground behind him. He then got back up, and tried to hit Hajeri from behind. Hajeri spun around, caught Mike's fist, and threw him to the side.
"You're pathetic." Hajeri watched the man stand back up. He felt darkness surround him as he started to Dragoon. When the darkness disappeared, Hajeri was wearing his blackish gray armor and wings, and he held his black sword tightly. Mike regained his balance and he dragooned too. He now wore dark forest green armor and his wings flapped behind him. He held a double-sided spear in his right hand. The two men charged at each other.
-----
Lightning lit up the sky. A storm had come quickly. Kanzas held on tightly as his Dragon ripped through one Wingly at a time. Quetinno turned to bite a young Wingly that was to his left. Another Wingly on the other side of him threw a chain around his neck. Kanzas quickly took it off and started to swing it above his head.
"I think this belongs to you!" Kanzas allowed the end of the chain to fly at the Wingly. It swung tightly around the Wingly's neck. Kanzas then pulled tightly on the end that he was holding, and the Wingly flew above them and hit one of the other Winglies, making both Winglies start to fall. Kanzas jerked on the chain once more and it returned to his hands. Quetinno bit one of the Winglies head right off. The body fell down towards the ground. The Dragon crushed the skull with his teeth and spit it out.
'Three Winglies down, three to go.' Kanzas swung the chain once more. The strong metal hit against a Wingly's skull. A soft crack could be heard. The lifeless body fell. 'Only two more left now.' Kanzas saw one of the Winglies try to fly away. He wouldn't let him get far. 'Attack that Wingly, Quetinno.'
The Dragon heard his master's order, and powered up a thunder blast. Lightning bolts came from the small thunder ball in-between his jaws. The thunder ball hurled at the Wingly. The Wingly was hit in the back, and the attack broke the man's spine. Kanzas watched the man fall. Now all that was left was the man that looked like he was the commander. Quetinno charged at the Wingly. Kanzas just then noticed something. More Winglies. Quetinno looked up at something else that Kanzas did not see. Even more Winglies above them. A fist knocked Kanzas clean off his Dragon. He started to fall. He saw the commander had a smirk on his face as the other Winglies were doing their best to chain up Quetinno……and they had succeeded. Kanzas was just about to Dragoon when something hit the back of his head and knocked him out.

It was getting dark, and Damia decided to take Loshianna for a quick flight around the sky above the forest that the blue Dragon was hiding in. Damia skipped towards the secret hide-out for Loshianna. Emperor Diaz had told her that they were going to wait to see if he came back, and if he didn't, Rose and Zieg would go out and look for him. Damia pushed through some thick bushes and as she did this, she felt herself go downhill a bit. She continued to push through bushes for a good five minutes and then stopped when she came to a huge rock. She took a deep breath and pushed the rock. After a while of pushing, the rock was finally out of the way. A narrow stairway could now be seen. She walked down the stairs until she came to a huge opening. All of the Dragoon's Dragons could fit in this room. Although this was just Loshianna's hide-out, everyone had pitched in to make the room big enough for every Dragon to fit in there just in case they had an emergency and they had to move all the Dragons to one place. They had decided that Loshianna's hide-out would be the perfect place since it was probably the best hidden and the closest for everyone, who knew it was there, to get to. Damia looked over in a corner and she found Michael, Rose's Vassal Dragon. He was sleeping peacefully, so Damia whistled softly. The pool in front of Damia led directly to the ocean. It might have been a long way to the ocean, but it was just perfect for a Sea Dragon. The pool's water started to ripple as a Dragon's snout came out of the water. Loshianna's whole head was out in seconds. Her wings were next. The Dragon nudged Damia.
"Okay, okay!" Damia led the Dragon to a tunnel that was on the left side of the stairs that she had walked down just a minute or two ago. The blue Dragon followed her master through the tunnel. They stopped when they came to a rock wall. Damia pushed on the wall and it opened. The Dragon ducked a bit and walled through the opening. Damia climbed on her back and they flew off.
-----
"Where's Damia?" Rose asked Zieg.
They were both in Rose's room. Rose was staring out of the window and Zieg was leaning up against the wall.
"She's with Loshianna. She said that she would take her flying." The blond-haired warrior answered.
"I'm going to check on Michael." Rose turned and headed towards the exit.
"I'll come with you. I have to check on Fiyin anyway." Zieg walked out of the room along-side Rose.
-----
Rose and Zieg walked through the bushes that Damia had walked through earlier. They both stopped at a huge rock. Zieg pushed it out of the way and Rose walked down the steps. Zieg followed.
"Michael?" Rose's voice echoed through the room.
Red eyes could be seen in the shadows. A huge, black Dragon ran out of the shadows and straight to Rose. The Dragon's head rubbed up against Rose's. She laughed.
"You're friendly tonight, aren't you?" She patted the Dragon's head. Zieg watched the two for a bit, then turned to leave. He walked back up the stairs.
-----
Shirley sat comfortably on her bed. She didn't really feel like sleeping and she had nothing else to do, so she just sat there. She had been told earlier that Kanzas was missing. He could cause a lot of trouble out there. Especially since he had his Dragoon spirit. She took out the clear Dragoon spirit that she had hidden on a necklace around her neck. She stared at it. It glowed only enough to light up the room just a tad bit. She sighed a bit before laying down.
'He'd better not get into any trouble.' She thought to herself as she closed her eyes.
-----
Hajeri looked down at the man laying on the ground. Mike was bleeding. Badly. His Dragoon armor was gone, and his used-to-be-clean clothes were now covered in blood that matched his dark, red hair. Mike tried to get up, but he couldn't feel his legs.
'Why…why is he doing…this?' That was the only thing that went through Mike's mind over and over again.
Hajeri had a smirk on his face. This was his chance. He walked up to the bleeding man and steadied the sword in his hand. The Dragoon Judges were immortal, yes, Hajeri knew that but there was also a little catch to them being immortal. Only another Dragoon Judge had the power to kill a Dragoon Judge, and Hajeri just happened to be one of those Judges. He raised his sword in the air and was just about to stab Mike in the back where his heart was, when something flew into his right cheek. He flew into a nearby tree.
"You leave him alone." A woman's voice told him harshly.
Hajeri opened his eyes and saw Saphira. She was holding her hammer. That was what had hit Hajeri. Hajeri stood up and rubbed his right cheek. Before he could do anything, an axe came his way. He noticed it a bit too late, but all he lost was a bit of his long, black hair. Milro was standing just a few feet away from him. Hajeri looked around and saw Phirala.
'Curse them.' Hajeri thought harshly to himself. 'Why do they care for such a pathetic man?' He looked up and saw the Queen in her Dragoon form. He knew he was beaten.
-----
Damia could feel the wind in her face as she flew around on her blue-sea Dragon. She smiled to herself and patted the Dragon's neck. Her smile grew wider as she saw something in the distance. A Dragon. A violet Dragon. Quetinno. She knew she had found Kanzas. More than likely he was riding the violet Dragon. Her smile quickly disappeared.
'Winglies? Why are……oh no!' Damia's eyes scanned over the Dragon but she saw no sign of Kanzas. She looked at every Wingly and then her eyes went wide. She saw Kanzas. He was chained up. His motionless body hung from a single chain being held by a Wingly. Damia looked closer and saw that he was still breathing. 'I should go tell Emperor Diaz!' She was just about to turn around and fly back down when something caught her attention. 'Weren't there eight Winglies before?' There were indeed eight Winglies just a moment ago, but now she noticed there were only four. The three holding down the Dragon and the one that was carrying Kanzas. She just then saw Kanzas' eyes open and stare at her. She had a bad feeling that something was behind her. She twisted around and saw the other four Winglies. She was caught. A chain flew around Loshianna's neck. Damia could hear her heart start to speed up. Her eyes were wide. She didn't know what to do. She gulped as she took her hammer that Belzac had given her out from behind her and tried her best to break the chain. Someone grabbed her. She panicked and thrust the hammer above her head and she felt it hit bone. The person let go of her and fell. Another Wingly grabbed her while the other one took her hammer away from her. The Wingly who now had her hammer moved to help the other Wingly hold down the Dragon. Damia panicked once more and screamed. Kanzas then tried to break out of the chains that were keeping him from fighting back. The Wingly that held onto the chain took his fist and hit Kanzas in the head, knocking him out again. The only thing that Damia could hear was her own heart beating quickly. Damia felt a sharp pain in her gut and then she realized that she had been punched. She fell over. The Wingly carried her motionless body. The Winglies, the two captives, and the two Dragons flew off towards Kadessa.
