Dragon Warriors
in The Treasure of the Hive
In Eostia, in the kingdom of Thorn, three brothers are playing a gambling game in a pub. the first brother has Auburn hair and wears a hat, and he wears a purple shirt, black pants and black boots, and his name is Chang. The second brother has blonde hair, and wears a grey shirt with a brown vest, brown pants, and brown boots, and his name is Saul. And the third brother has reddish-orange hair, and wears a white shirt with a black drape coat, black pants, and brown boots, and his name is Tank.
"Feast your eyes upon the most dazzling and majestic game of chance!" Chang called out. "We pay 20 to one." he said.
As everyone was betting on numbers, Saul secretly places a magnet in his boot.
"Are we ready?" Changed winked at Saul who winked back.
"We are ready. Watch it folks, keep your eye on the ball." then Chang pulled a small switch of the small spinner, as the metal ball was spinning, he placed the device in front of Saul's foot and the magnet attracts the ball and went straight to the jackpot. In Eostia they call it, 'treasure'. "Sorry folks, the treasure wins again." he said as Tank gathers the money.
"I think this game is rigged," Hicks spoke. "I can smell a rat." he said as he put down his mug. Suddenly the magnet attracted the mug and it went to Saul's foot.
This surprises the people, and Hicks removed Saul's boot and found the magnet.
"We've been fooled by a magnet." said a customer.
"I'll fix these rats!" yelled Hicks in anger as he took out his sword. Then the brothers began to flee as the people are trying to catch them, and some of the people are fighters, they got out of the pub and ran over a knight.
"What's going on?" the knight questioned as he got himself back up.
"Those thieves robbed us with a magnet." Hicks explained. "We're gonna string them up!" he said.
"Keep your vest on Hicks, the hanging is decided by the rulers. I'm a knight in Thorn, I'll hunt those robbers down and bring them to justice." said the knight. As he tried to grab his sword, only to find out he lost his sword. "Somebody stole my sword!" he said, which causes Hicks to groan in annoyance while the customers laugh at his misfortune.
A few days later, a group of knights put out wanted posters of the robbers in the forest, and the reward for their capture is 30,000 gold.
"There's a chance to win a reward, there in the woods somewhere." said a knight as they began to hunt the robbers. But what they didn't know is that Connor and Vault heard the whole thing up on a tree.
"Did you hear that, a reward." said Vault in excitement. "If we can find them we'll be right. I wonder how much is worth in East Liverpool?" he questioned.
"I don't know, but I don't think Eostia gold is worth anything in East Liverpool." said Connor as he and Vault climbed down. "Hey, where are the girls?" he questioned.
"Alicia and Prim are out fishing for some lunch, while Maia, Kaguya, Claudia, and Luu Luu are out hunting those robbers." Vault answered to Connor.
"Right, and it's too bad Grave couldn't come with us." he said to Vault.
"Yeah, but he has to do overtime at the warehouse."
"Who's hungry?" they turned and spotted Alicia and prim carrying fish.
Meanwhile in the woods, Maia is searching for those robber, while Tank is hiding from those knights. They go around a tree silently to avoid making any noise, they went the other direction, then Maia went back to the other direction and she and Tank spotted each other.
"I got you!" said Maia, as she took out her swords. But Tank blocked them with his axes.
"You're Maia, queen of the mercenaries." said Tank in surprise.
"That's right," she smirked. They continued to clash weapons from every angle and every move, and when Tank moved Maia's arms around he kicked her down to the ground. "Guy's I found one of them! Guys!"
This grabbed the Warriors attention, so they rushed to Maia.
"Did you found the robbers?" asked Claudia.
"Yeah." answered Maia.
"Which way did they go?" asked Luu Luu.
"One of them headed south of the forest."
"But that's a scary place, no one goes there." said Connor.
"Well man up, 'cause we're gonna find them." said Vault.
Later, the robbers started to catch their breath from all the running to get away from the Warriors and the knights.
"That was a close one right guys." said Chang in exhaustion.
"Yeah." Saul agreed. "But we can't go running around with the money all day, we got to hide it." he said. Then Tank spotted a cave.
"Hey, maybe we can hide them in that cave over there." Tank pointed.
"Good idea, we'll make sure no one finds the money." said Chang.
Then the robbers went into the cave to hide the money, but what they didn't know is that Gorg and Troox were listening.
Meanwhile, the Warriors are following the robbers' tracks which leads them straight to the cave.
"Are you sure about they're in their Vault?" asked Connor.
"Of course I'm sure, I was once a bounty hunter." said Vault, and the Warriors went into the cave.
Connor was leading the Warriors with a lighted lantern to find the robbers, they went in deeper into the cave, but there was no trace the the robbers.
"Any luck yet Connor?" Luu Luu whispered.
"No, but all I know is that they went into these tunnels." Connor pointed at a bunch of tunnels. But suddenly, Connor bumped into something or better yet, someone. It was the robbers.
"Ah ha! We got you now!" Vault grinned, as they were about to apprehend the robbers, they started to get hot.
"Why is it hot in this cave?" Alicia questioned.
"How should I know, we just found it." said Chang.
Then they heard a noise, they looked down and spotted small dragons that are the size of lizards.
"What are those things?" asked Saul.
"Fireworms." Maia answered.
"Fireworms! Why are they called Fireworms?" Tank asked in confusion.
"Well, the book of dragons say that Fireworms are hotter then the sun." Prim explained.
Then Chang slowly lowered his hand down to the ground, and one Fireworm crawled onto his hand and he petted the tiny dragon and it purred.
"If people train dragons, they become our friends right?" said Chang to the Warriors.
"That's correct." said Claudia.
"Heh. Well to bad for you. 'Cause we got you." everyone turned and spotted Gorg and Troox. "Now where's the money?" said Troox.
"Money? What money, we don't have any money?" Chang pretended.
"Don't play dumb with us, we heard you were on the run." said Gorg.
"And what are these, worms?" Troox picked up a Fireworm.
"Their Fireworms." Chang answered as he put a Fireworm down to the ground. "Princess Prim says that their hotter then the sun." he explained as he raises his arms, the Warriors know what he's gonna do, so they jumped up and grabbed onto the ceiling of the cave and Chang clapped. And the sound of it causes the Fireworms to ignite themselves, including the one that Troox has and he screamed in pain as the robbers ran.
"Let's get out of here 'til it cools down in here." said Gorg.
"Good idea." said Troox and they escaped.
As soon as the Fireworms cooled down they left, and the Warriors landed back to the ground.
"Well that was a close one, come on guys let's go." said Connor as he and the Warriors continue to track down the robbers.
Later, the Warriors made it to the center of the cave where it looks like the inside of a bee hive.
"What is this place?" questioned Prim.
"It looks like the hive of the Fireworms." said Grave.
"Look there they are," Kaguya pointed, and they saw the robbers.
"Freeze!" yelled Connor. "Don't you move." he said.
"Come on, We've got weapons you've got weapons, we got moves you got moves. We're basically the same." said Chang.
"Yeah, it's hard to find a job when you look like a thug." said Saul.
"That's why we decided to steal, and that's where it'll stay that way." said Tank.
"But that's where you're wrong." everyone turned and spotted Gorg and Troox with their armies. "That money is ours." said Gorg.
"Yeah, and without your dragons you're outnumbered." said Troox. "Any last words?" he aimed his blaster.
"Just one," said Connor.
"Let's burn some trolls!" the Warriors yelled, and the monsters heard a screeching noise. Then they've been blasted by Shade and the other dragons. The monsters open fired at the dragons, but they dodged the lasers, Shade uses his plasma blast to knock down to ogres, Spike and Yusha fired their spikes at the goblins, and Scar ignited himself and dive down to burn the monsters, but they avoided him to avoid getting scorched.
Until one goblin took out a bow and arrow and fired at Scar, the arrow struck Scar and he roared in pain, and he fell down to the ground.
"Scar!" yelled Vault in shock, and he ran to check on his dragon and so did the other Warriors and their dragons.
"All right, they're all distracted. Get them!" yelled Gorg. But a powerful sonic blast was heard and the monsters covered their ears, and entering the cave is William and Wavelength.
"You three," William pointed at the robbers. "burn those monsters." he ordered.
Chang smirked and he threw a Fireworm and it ignited, but Gorg avoided it.
Then the robbers began to throw the Fireworms, as they Fireworms were thrown they ignited and the monster began to run around to get away from them, but that didn't stop the robbers and the Fireworms. The monsters were either burned by the flying Fireworms, or their feet were burned by them, or even the ogres pants were on fire by them.
"Now we've seen everything." said Troox as he, Gorg, and the monsters escaped. After they were gone, William, Wavelength, and the robbers check on Scar.
"What happened to your dragon is he hurt?" asked Chang.
"The arrow wasn't poisoned, he must be losing his flame." said Vault.
"I've heard about it, when Monstrous Nightmares lose their flames, they tend to get sick and..." said Saul.
"We know what happens next." Chang said to Saul.
"I know that in the book of dragons that Fireworms can reignite a Nightmare's flame, and I think the only way to do cure Scar is with the Fireworms' venom." said Connor.
"Are you kidding, those Fireworms are too small!" said Luu Luu.
"Yeah, and the only one that has enough venom, is the Fireworm Queen." said Alicia.
"You mean, like that." Tank pointed.
Everyone turned and spotted the giant Fireworm Queen, the robbers stood back, the Fireworm Queen spotted Scar looking in terrible shape, so she picked him up with her tail and bit him which causes Scar to roar in pain. After that she put him down, and then Scar ignited himself and he roared in excitement.
"Scar!" Vault said in happiness as he jumped onto Scar's snout, then he turned to the queen with a grateful smile. "Thank you." he took out his hand. And the queen placed her snout on his hand.
"And thanks for saving us." Connor said to the robbers, but they were not here. "Where'd they go?" he questioned.
As it turned out, the robbers escaped from the Warriors and the prince with the money.
"Come on!" Chang said to his brothers, and they ran. Only to be hit by some bars, and to their surprise, their in a cage and a knight locked the cell and laughed.
"Oh wise guys huh, take them to Rad." said a knight.
Later at the kingdom of Rad, the robbers were sent to the throne room to meet Queen Jeanne.
"Chang, Saul, and Tank." Jeanne spoke. "You are charged for scamming the villagers of Thorn by rigging games." she said.
"That's right, we had to do it. Because no one wants to hire us." Chang explained. "So go ahead and lock us up, no one gives sympathy for thieves." he said. Then William stepped in.
"Yes, Mother they tend to steal. But they only did those crimes to survive, and they even helped fight Origa's monsters. And I know that you and the people of Eostia don't trust them, but they have goodness in them if you just give them a chance." William explained.
Jeanne thought about what William said, the robbers did saved the Warriors from those monsters.
"Very well." she said. "As an act of aiding the Warriors, I hereby pardon you of your crimes." the robbers were surprised that the queen of rad had pardoned them.
"But don't worry, I'll help you find a job."
A few days later, the robbers have finally found jobs... As polishers, and they are cleaning the armors of past knights.
"Well, at least they won't go hungry anymore." said Vault.
"Yeah, because they're polishers who are polishing the polished armors." said Connor in a tongue twister.
"Say that three times fast." said Chang.
"No thank you." he said.
