Chapter One
The Avengers Prophecy
When twelve dragons strangely appear,
Beware the Minduser
When all of Pyrrhia starts cowering in fear,
Beware the Minduser
Beware the trickster with shining purple eyes
For if the Avengers fall, darkness shall rise
Look for ten hybrids, wings of night and wings of sky
Put your differences aside to face the same enemy
The Captain, the Wolf, the Assassin, the Archer, the Genius, the Spy,
the Soldier, the god, the Army Colonel, the Scientist, the Machine and the Witch
Help them so that Pyrrhia shall be free
This villain was unlike anything we'd ever faced. He used our thoughts against us. He was called Minduser, it was a pretty dumb name, but he definitely lived up to it. The Hulk charged at him, only to be thrown back by Minduser.
"He's like Loki." Thor commented as Mjolnir sailed through Minduser.
"He's like Darkstalker from Wings of Fire." I muttered.
Minduser turned to me, grinning crazily, his strange purple eyes glowing. There was something unsettling about that gaze. Steve glanced at me nervously.
"That doesn't look good." He said.
Suddenly everyone was pulled forward by invisible chains. Minduser stepped towards me, I snarled and fought against my bindings.
"My, my. What a fighting ssspirit." He hissed and ran a finger along my cheek.
"Get your filthy hands off of my wife!" Steve snarled.
"Or what? You can't escape." He pulled something out from under his midnight black cloak.
It was a medium sized cylinder made of metal and glass, and had a handle on the top.
"You'll not be able to escape until you find something like this, where you're going." As he said this, he placed a piece of paper inside the glass part. "Farewell Avengers!" He said cheerfully and pressed the handle down.
"Wait!" I yelled, but it was to late. The world was already fading to black.
The world slowly came into view. I blinked my eyes a few times and winced as a wave of nausea washed over me. Looking around, I saw trees and open grassland. Something didn't feel right, I raised my hand to rub my forehead. Instead, a clawed forelimb came into view. I shook my head, I must've changed form when I was unconscious. But when I tried to change form, it didn't work. I ran over to a nearby pool of water and a dragon stared back at me. I had the same blue-grey eyes, but my scales were jet black, black brown, and silver. And from my neck to my tail was a row of spikes that had webbing (which was the same light brown as my hair) in-between them. I spread my wings and saw silver scales that looked like stars. And strapped to my side was a sword. I was a Nightwing. No. A Nightwing Sandwing hybrid by the poisonous barb on my tail and the webbing between my spikes. Looking down, I saw a metal band on my left wrist. It had four words on it: Direwolf, Phoebe, Nightwing Sandwing.
"It must be my name." I muttered to no-one in particular.
There was a groan to my left and I saw a small group of dragons where I had been earlier. The groan had come from a slender looking Nightwing with black, silver and black red scales.
'A Nightwing Skywing hybrid?' I thought as I approached the dragon, who I guessed was male.
The dragon had silver star scales on his wings, and a strange mark on his chest. It looked like a large, silver star. He also had a metal band on his left wrist. I read it: Patriot, Steve, Nightwing Skywing. My heart leapt with joy. I poked him.
"Wake up sleepy head." I said.
"Phoebe?" Steve groaned.
"Yeah, it's me. Now wake up, and don't be alarmed." I warned as he opened his eyes.
"Why would I be alam..." He broke off when he saw me.
"Lift up your hand." I instructed.
He lifted his talon up.
"What?!" He gasped.
"Minduser sent us to Pyrrhia. The land of dragons from that book series I like."
"Isn't there another island though?" Steve asked, standing up.
"Yeah. It's called Pantala."
"How do you know that we're not there?"
"There's to many trees." I answered.
"Do you have any idea where we could be?"
"No. But we can eliminate some places. It's too warm to be near the Ice Kingdom, it's not warm enough to be near the Kingdom of Sand, there aren't enough mountains to be the Sky Kingdom, we aren't on a volcanic island, or underwater, so that eliminates the old Nightwing island and the Sea Kingdom. So my guess is that we're near both the Mud and Rainforest Kingdoms." I explained.
"That's helpful." Came a voice from behind us.
We turned around and saw a dark blue, brown and black dragon. A Seawing Nightwing hybrid.
"Tony?" Steve asked.
"Yeah, it's me." He said and looked at his wings.
Tony's dragon form had a bright blue circle on his chest, and when he lifted a talon, to examine the webbing between is claws, I saw another circle. He had red and gold armour covering his body, neck and head.
"What's the name on your armband?" I asked and gestured to his armband with a claw.
"Uh, Iron, Tony, Seawing Nightwing." He replied.
I nodded and looked around at the other dragons. The one closest to Steve, Tony and I was dark blue (almost black), light blue and white. It was Bucky. I could tell by the metal arm with gold stripes. The claws gripped the ground and Bucky growled softly.
"Buck," Steve said and poked Bucky with his tail. "Wake up."
"Five more minutes." The Icewing Nightwing hybrid grumbled.
"No. You need to wake up now!"
Bucky opened his eyes and inhaled sharply when he saw the three of us staring at him.
"This is what Minduser did, isn't it?"
I nodded and Bucky stood up, stretched his wings and noticed the armband.
"Snowstorm?" He muttered.
"It's your name." Steve answered.
A commotion behind us told us that some of the others were awake. A red and orange Skywing was being cornered by a purple and blue Skywing Icewing hybrid and a black and red Icewing Skywing. I ran over and opened my wings with a crack to distract them.
"The hell?" The Skywing asked.
"Sam? Is that you?" I asked.
"Yeah. Is that you, Phoebe?"
"Yep it's me. Tony, Steve and Bucky are over there." I said gesturing with a wing.
"Phoebe, what the hell happened to us?" The Sky/Icewing asked.
"Clint, and is that Natasha?" Sam asked.
"It's me." The Ice/Skywing, who was Nat answered.
"So now we have to wake up Wanda, Vision, Thor and Bruce." Steve said and walked over.
With this many dragons around, I was more aware of my dangerous tail. So I curled it up like I had read in the books.
"And Rhodey." Sam added,
We all walked to different dragons, I walked over to the Nightwing.
'This must be Vision.' I said to myself when I saw a strange yellow diamond shaped scale on his forehead.
"Hey Vision." I said and poked him.
He opened his eyes and sat up.
"Minduser did this." He said.
"How do you know?"
"I can hear your thoughts, and everyone else's." He replied.
"A Nightwing power. Most dragons won't believe you if you told them. That is, if it's after the War of Sandwing Succession." I explained.
"Vision?" A female voice asked.
I turned and saw a Rainwing, Skywing, Icewing hybrid.
"Wanda." Vision breathed and embraced her with his wings.
I smiled and saw Steve rousing a Mudwing, Rainwing, Nightwing hybrid. I moved closer, he was small for someone who was a third Mudwing, and his scales were a bland brown and purple. I lifted up his arm to look at is armband. 'Hulker, Bruce.' But there was something else on it; Animus cursed.
"That makes sense." I said out loud.
"What does?" Steve asked me.
"This is Bruce, and his armband says that he's been cursed. So that must mean that he'll grow bigger when he's angry." I explained.
There was a splash and an angry roar.
"WHAT THE HELL TONY?!" I heard Rhodey bellow.
"Oh, come on. It was just a bit of water."
The armoured Seawing Icewing hybrid stomped past us muttering and shaking water droplets off of him. Bruce finally woke up and looked around before sighing.
"It could've been worse. Much worse that this." He said.
Meanwhile, Clint and Nat were waking up our last team member, Thor. The Mudwing Seawing hybrid was still unconscious. Nat jumped on him and beat her wings loudly in his ears. Thor let out a grunt and got up, causing Nat to half fall, half slide off of him.
"Finally," I said. "We're all awake."
After getting everyone used to their wings and tails, we read out our names. I was Direwolf, Steve was Patriot, Tony was Iron, Bucky was Snowstorm, Sam was Falcon, Clint was Archer, Nat was Crimson, Vision was... well... Vision, Wanda was Raven, Bruce was Hulker, Rhodey was Colonel, and Thor was still Thor.
"What should we do?" Sam asked.
"We should look for whatever Minduser told us to find." Rhodey said.
"No" I ordered. "We need to gather the prophecy dragons."
"who?" Asked Thor.
"Clay the Mudwing, Tsunami the Seawing, Glory the Rainwing, Starflight the Nightwing, Sunny the Sandwing, Moonwatcher the Nightwing, Winter the Icewing, Peril the Skywing, Turtle the Seawing, Qibli the Sandwing and Kinkajou the Rainwing." I listed.
"That's a lot of dragons." Clint muttered.
"How will we find them all?" Wanda asked.
"I know where we can find some." I answered. "Wait here."
I touched Steve's wing with mine.
"I'll be back soon." I said softly.
I spread my wings and lifted off. I flew for a little while until I saw the rainforest in the distance. I flew back to the clearing and landed.
"I found the rainforest." I reported.
"Why do we need to go there?" Tony asked.
"It's where we'll find Queen Glory of the Rainwings." I answered.
"Wait... Queen!?" Rhodey sputtered.
"Exactly. So all of you will need to be on your best behaviour and remember your dragon names, and refer to each other with them." I explained sternly.
Tony rolled his eyes and muttered something, Rhodey smacked him over the head with a wing.
"We should depart then." Thor suggested.
"Agreed." Bruce said.
"Follow me then." I said and launched into the sky.
There was a flurry of wingbeats and a few shouts of surprise. Steve flew up beside me.
"Are you enjoying flying?" I asked him.
"Yes." He replied and inhaled deeply. "It's amazing. I mean, I've been on your back when you've flown, but this is much better." He looked at me. "No offence."
"None taken." I replied with a smile.
Suddenly Bucky went zooming past whooping. I chuckled and looked back at the others, Tony was flying unsteadily while Thor, Rhodey, Sam, Vision and Wanda flew with confidence, instead of flying like overgrown dragonets. I looked forward towards the rainforest and got into a steady rhythm.
Well, that's chapter one. Please review, and I'll put chapter two up as soon as I can.
