Chapter 1

The storm's effect

The sun beat over the green landscape, the sky a lovely shade of blue with fluffy white clouds moving slowly by. This time of year was so beautiful, people couldn't help but stop at stare at the pure beauty the had to offer. The wind blew over the green grass making it sway side-to-side, you could find yourself lost in the great beauty.

Some people told a special someone that they loved them, others that were already married had romantic dates, others snorted at the idea of it, but others knew this time of year to be spring the season of romance.

The temple stood in the beauty of spring as well, the monks enjoying their time off of training, Master Fung off at a family reunion, so Dojo was left in charge of the four, which wasn't easy at times. Well, he mostly had to worry about Omi, the young monk was full of energy, he didn't have to worry much about the others.

Raimundo would be playing his video games in his room most of the day, while Kimiko would either be in her room or out in the flower field, and Clay would be sitting on the stairs drawing in his sketch book.

Dojo slithered his way around the temple hearing the sound of Raimundo's video game and Omi practicing as Kimiko held the stop-watch boredly. The little monk seemed that he would that he would never rest until he got it perfect.

" Finished, what is my time Kimiko?" Omi asked

" Two hours, five minutes and fifty-six seconds." Kimiko replied

" Only an hour and four seconds off of mine." Clay said

" That is good right?" Omi asked

" To be honest no." Kimiko replied

" Then I will keep going." Omi said determinedly

Dojo smiled to himself, he was glad that he could always trust Kimiko and Clay to keep Omi occupied (easier said than done) he slithered to the kitchen to check the cupboards, he opened them up to find them empty! Master Fung must of emptied them out before he left the temple, the dragon sighed to himself as he went outside to find the monks talking.

" We have a problem." Dojo said

" What's wrong?" Kimiko asked

" The cupboards are empty, so I need someone to go with me to get food to stock them back up." Dojo replied

" I'll go with ya Dojo." Clay offered

" Okay then." Dojo said

Dojo transformed into his forty foot form letting Clay get on. the dragon took off into the sky. Raimundo looked to Kimiko seeing that she seemed uneasy.

" What's wrong Kimiko?" Raimundo asked

" I don't know, I can't help but feel that something is bound to go wrong." Kimiko replied

" No need to worry, those two can handle themselves, they'll be fine." Raimundo assured

Later...

" This should last us a while." Dojo said

" It should, but Raimundo tends to have a midnight snack sometimes." Clay replied

Dojo smiled but it quickly escaped his face when he saw storm clouds ahead of them.

" This isn't good." Dojo said

Dojo tried his best to avoid the clouds, but ended up going through them, he could see the ragging ocean below them. Lightning flashed blinding the dragon another flash startled him not being able to see he wipped backwards, he heard a dark-voiced scream and a splash far below him. Dojo stopped until he was able to see, he blinked until he regained his sight.

" Are you alright Clay?" Dojo asked

He heard no answer, he turned his head around to see that no one was on his back!

" Oh no... I'm a dead dragon when I get back." Dojo said

He knew that he couldn't search for the cowboy in the dangerous storm, he would have to go back to the temple to tell the others what happened, he hoped that they were in a good mood.

Dojo landed at the temple untransforming, taking the food inside, he stocked the cupboards, he saw Omi come into the kitchen.

" The trip went well?" Omi asked

" Not really, go get the others tell them to go to the field. I need to tell you all something important." Dojo said

Omi nodded running off to get the others, Dojo sighed it wouldn't be easy telling them what happened. Dojo slowly made his way to the field, by the time he got there Omi, Raimundo, and Kimiko were waiting in the field.

" I have some news." Dojo started

" What's wrong Dojo?" Kimiko asked

" And where's the cowboy?" Raimundo asked

Dojo sighed hagging his head low, he knew that the three monks would take the news very well.

" We were coming back with the food when I saw storm clouds, I tried to avoid them but I couldn't. I had no choice but to go through them, I was blinded by a flash of lightning and another one startled me. I heard a scream and a splash below me. I regained my sight after a few moments to see that Clay wasn't on my back." Dojo explained

" You mean he fell off?" Raimundo asked

" I guess so." Dojo replied

" We have to go find him." Kimiko said

" He could have floated anywhere between Texas and Mexico since the U.S is the best place for good meat, we don't know if he could have drowned that ocean is very deep." Dojo replied

Kimiko could feel her heart skip a beat when she heard what Dojo said. Clay was heavy but it was all muscle and the ocean is not only deep but it had strong currents too, what were the odds of him surviving?
