A/N: Hey, there everybody! It's me, MBAV fan66!
So, in the last chapter we got to check back in on our favorite captive being held hostage. And we also got see the gang now leaving the castle to set out and save our dear captive, as well. :)
There's no telling what Alissa has in store for our heroes or what dangers await them, ahead on their journey...but in this chapter we get to find out! Well...what their first danger is that awaits them, that is. Lol! :P
You can probably expect some time skipping to take place along the rest of the story, though. So, each obstacle they face isn't happening one after the other. Instead, either a few days or a few hours will have passed between each one. You can expect them to go through three different situations on their journey before they finally reach Alissa and do battle with her.
Anyways, I should let you get on with the story. Shouldn't I? Lol! :P

Disclaimer: I do not own My Babysitter's A Vampire or any of it's characters. All I own is this story, it's plot, the kingdom of Amaria, and the evil witch; Alissa.
It was finally about midday and the gang had all stopped for some lunch. As they sat there enjoying their lunches happily, they were all unaware of a certain evil eye watching them from a distance, back at her castle.
She sat in her chair watching them with a sinister grin on her face. "Enjoying a nice little midday meal, are we now?" she chuckled amusingly. She placed a finger on her chin, as she tilted her head upward slightly in thought. "Hmm...Now that I think about it...perhaps I should let my little pet have his lunch, as well?" she said thoughtfully with a grin.
Alissa got up from her chair and hurried her way down the stairs and out the building. She stood outside looking upwards towards the sky, as she reached under the neck of her dress to pull out a silver whistle that hung around her neck like a pendant. She brought the shiny whistle up to her lips and blew into it, sending out a high pitched whistle that rang out through the air loudly. She smiled happily when she stopped and waited patiently for a response to the noise.
Moments later, sounds of flapping could be heard coming in from a distance. The sound grew louder and louder, accompanied by a loud roaring sound, now. The creature landed gracefully before Alissa, as she stood there smiling at the sight of it, happy to see it.
It was a huge black dragon with dark purple going from; the chin, along the underbelly and the bottom side of it's tail, as well as under the wings on the skin flap part of the wings. It's nails were purple, along with all the horns that rested upon the creature. It had two big horns on his head and more going along the jawline that got smaller the further they went down the jaw. On each finger tip of the wing, also had claw like thorns, as well, and there were even smaller thorns on the back of it's forelegs on the upper part. It's eyes were a ruby red color that just sent chills down your spine. And along it's back it had purple stripes from head to tail and a few on the front part of each leg.
The dragon let out another roar before bowing it's head down to Alissa. Alissa reached out to pet the fierce creature with much joy. At first it growled at her not know who this person was, but then quieted down, sensing Alissa's evil presence that resided inside the foreign girl and allowed the friendly gesture.
"Ah! My beloved Daggeron!" greeted Alissa, as the dragon leaned into her touch, enjoying the contact. A content purring sound could be heard coming from the beast as it's long pointed ears laid back (one of his ear's was also pierced and had a silver ring that hung from it that shone in the sun's light). "How I've missed you." she cooed gently to her rather large pet, as she petted him some more.
She reveled in the display of affection that she was showing the dragon for a few minutes more before speaking again. "You must be hungry now, seeing as it is now lunch time, my precious pet?" reasoned Alissa, rubbing her hands along the dragon's snout slowly as if petting a horse. She grinned a conniving smile at what she was about to say next, "And I have just the perfect thing for you to eat, too."
Daggeron nudged her hands gently with his nose, letting out a low grumbling growl like noise to her words. Alissa chuckled at her pet's response and then gently pushed the beast's face away from her. Daggeron kept his head held low and the two locked eyes. "Listen up my pet. And listen well. The prince of Amaria is on his way here now, to rescue some pathetic wizard boy who he's in love with. And he's not alone either. They're busy having lunch, as we speak, but I want you to go and interrupt their peaceful little quaint meal by devouring each and everyone of them!" she explained evilly, with a smirk at the end. "Do you understand what you are to do, my precious?" she asked, wanting to make sure that he understood.
Daggeron nodded his head and took a few steps back. Alissa begun to maniacally laugh, as he raised his head back up and spread his wings. "NOW, GO MY PET! GO AND DESTROY THAT MISERABLE EXCUSE OF A PRINCE AND HIS SAD AND PATHETIC BUNCH OF FRIENDS! GO! AND SEE TO IT THAT THEY NEVER MAKE HERE ALIVE! HAHAHAHA!" shouted Alissa in a maniacal and demanding way, as she raised her hands up in the air and laughed like a mad person.
With that Daggeron took to the air, sending dust and dirt flying everywhere, with his orders to eliminate the prince and his followers. The powerful dragon let out a mighty roar, as it headed off in search for it's prey.
Meanwhile, back with the gang...the we're all busy finishing up their little lunch break. "Man! I'm stuffed! That was some good eaten!" complimented Rory satisfyingly, giving his stomach a good pat, as he leaned backwards against a tree. "Boy! Royalty sure does know how to eat, don't they?"
Erica just shook her head at her boyfriend and smiled. "I have to agree with my nerd of a boyfriend over here." agreed Erica, pointing a thumb over in Rory's direction when she said that. "The chef at the palace sure does know how to cook." she commented amusingly. "We should come back and visit Ethan's place more often." she added jokingly.
But the prince didn't seem so amused by it. Instead, he only frowned and sighed. "Yeah...assuming Father even allows me back into the castle after what happened last night." he stated glumly.
Seeing his friend so down, Rory came up and gave the young prince a pat on the back. "Hey, E! Don't feel so down about it. I'm sure he'll come around by the time we make it back. He just needs time to think things over a bit and to let it all sink in, is all. I'm sure after your mom has her talk with him that he'll lighten up some in the mood department and will understand." reassured Rory kindly, giving him a smile.
Ethan looked up at him with a slightly hopeful expression on his face, mixed with doubt. "Yeah?" he replied. The blonde vampire gave him a quick nod, as his answer.
"Rory's right! Just give it some time. You'll see. Everything will be just fine in the end." added in Sarah, agreeing with her friend.
This gave Ethan some hope and courage for the future of when he'd returned back to the castle after they'd rescue Benny. 'They were right, after all! Everything will work out in the end! It just has to!' he thought hopefully.
Suddenly, a huge shadow flew overhead and roaring could be heard afterwards, taking everyone by surprise. They all stood there with confused and worried expressions on their faces, as they glanced around frantically, trying to figure out what that was.
"What in the hell was that?!" asked Erica. Just then it happened again. "I don't know? But whatever it is, I can guarantee that it's not going to be good." commented back Sarah.
"LOOK OUT!" shouted Rory, as he leapt to push Erica out of the way of a huge fireball headed her way and thus saving her life in the process. Rory got up and dusted himself off. "Are you alright, my dear sweet Erica?" he asked her in concern.
Erica ran up to him and gave him a big heated kiss on the lips. "My hero!" she said to Rory gratefully, as he blushed madly. She then noticed the singe mark on her dress, which made her mad.
"Ok? What in the world was that?!" repeated Sarah anxiously, as she went over to her best friend to see if she was ok.
Erica looked at her with an unamused expression on her face. "I don't know, but whatever it is, is seriously gonna pay for ruining my dress!" she sneered angrily.
Just then the wind around them begun to pick up, as everything blew away. A large flapping sound could be heard, along with another roar as the source of all the confusion landed right before them. The girls and Rory's jaws all dropped at the sight of the mythological creature before them.
"A dragon?! No way! That is so wicked!" pointed out Rory in amazement at the magnificent creature there before him. "Do you think it'll let me ride on it's back, while it flies around?!" he then blurted out dumbly in glee.
Erica faced palmed herself for her boyfriend's stupid comment and Sarah just shook her head at him. Sometimes he takes the meaning of 'dumb blonde' to a whole new level, they thought. "Uh...Rory, I somehow don't think now is the best time to be asking that. Don't you?" remarked Erica wittingly.
"Yeah! I mean, does it look friendly to you?" added Sarah, sarcastically.
Rory frowned upon their comments, as their attention was immediately drawn back at the danger at hand by a loud roar.
"Guys! I think I might recognize this dragon?" blurted out Ethan suddenly, causing all eyes to turn on him.
"You do? How?" wondered Erica curiously.
"I remember Rosalie telling me, after we had gotten engaged, about how she remembers seeing this large black and purple dragon sometimes hanging around Alissa hideout back when she was being held captive by her. And her treating it as if it was a pet or something. I believe she had overheard Alissa calling it...Daggeron?" explained Ethan, shrugging afterwards, but then got more serious about the matter. "And I bet that's him! She probably sent him here after us to make sure we don't make it to her evil castle to rescue Benny." he deduced.
"Probably." agreed Mrs. Weir. "Whatever may be the case, we better be on our toes, regardless. I have a feeling that this won't be our only obstacle to face along the way, if we manage to get through this one." she stated knowingly.
The dragon roared again and this time it swung it's tail at them. Acting quickly, the vamps took to the sky with Sarah grabbing Evelyn and Erica grabbing Ethan (much to his dismay). "Hey, there cutie. How's it going?" flirted Erica to the prince, winking at him. Ethan just shook his head at her and motioned for her to please put him down. The girls gently lowered the humans that they were carrying down to the ground.
Ethan quickly drew his sword and prepared to fight the mighty ferocious beast, at hand. "Listen here, you horrid dragon! Nobody's gonna get in the way of me rescuing my Benny! Not even you! So, why don't you just do us a favor and leave, while you still can! You foul beast!" insulted Ethan bravely, as he looked Daggeron straight in it's red glowing eyes as he said it.
Daggeron growled angrily at his words and fired a wave of flames towards the determined prince. But Ethan was ready for it and held up the sword, which parted the flames as if it was creating a force field or something around him with it's magic.
Rory then flew up to the dragon's neck, licking his lips. "I know I already had lunch and all, but...I do wonder how dragon blood tastes? And I'll probably never get another chance like this, ever again. So..." he pondered to himself. He then rubbed his hands together greedily as he bit down into the dragon's neck.
Daggeron roared out in annoyance, as he knocked Rory off of him with a swipe of his hand. Rory went flying into some trees. Worried, Erica flashed over to his side and aided in helping him. "Rory, you idiot! What on Earth were you thinking?!" she exclaimed concernedly to him, reaching out to grab his arm and pull him up on his feet. She quickly looked him over to make sure that he was ok, while dusting branches and leaves off of him.
"Ow! That hurt!" he said painfully, while running his tongue over his fangs. "Who knew that dragon's had such tough skin?" he added dumbly. "I think I almost chipped a fang just trying to bit into him?"
Erica stopped what she was doing and glared at him dubiously. "And why would you want to bite a dragon, in the first place? It's bad enough it's a dragon that we're fighting. We don't need some kind of...vampire-dragon hybrid thing to fight, instead, you idiot!" she scolded.
Rory just shrugged and smiled brightly at her. "I was curious if dragon blood tasted half as good as regular animal blood does." he answered stupidly.
Erica sighed as she shook her head disappointingly. She then pushed him back down and flew off back to the fight with Daggeron. Rory just laid there looking at the direction she took off in with a bewildered look saying, "What?! Was is something I said?" before taking off himself to join the fight.
"Alright, Ethan! You clearly know who this dragon is and who sent him, but do you have any ideas on how we defeat him?" commented Sarah sarcastically, as she just narrowly dodged being eaten by the beast.
"I don't know? Like any other dragon, I guess?" he answered reluctantly, with a shrug and an awkward smile her way. He then jumped out of the way of being hit by it's tail. Just then one of Daggeron's hands came down over the prince, but was thankfully blocked by Mrs. Weir creating a barrier over him to protect him from the attack, which shocked the dragon causing him to pull back his hand. Ethan looked over at her and gave a quick smile. "Thanks, Mrs. Weir! I owe you one!" he thanked gratefully.
"No problem, dearie." she said back with a smile. "But we do need to hurry and defeat this beast. I can't keep all this spell casting up forever, you know. I'm not as young as I used to be." quipped Evelyn seriously, now.
Ethan gave a nod her way, before holding up Amaria's Light to block Daggeron's latest attempt at his life by trying to slash him with is huge razor sharp claws, again. The blade of the sword made a clanking sound when it hit the creature's claws. With a mighty push, Ethan was able to shove the dragon's dagger like claws back, away from him.
While in the air, the vampires were busy flying around trying not to get themselves burned to a crisp by the dragon's hot flames being blown their way, along with also trying to avoid being eaten, as well.
"Ok! We seriously need some ideas here on how to take this thing down! Like, NOW!" suggested Sarah urgently, as she dodged Daggeron's teeth.
Ethan looked around for any ideas on how to defeat Daggeron, until his gaze landed on the sword in his hands. "I hope this works." he whispered to himself, looking up to yell out to the vampires. "Guys! I think I may have an idea! But I'll need you to keep him busy for awhile!"
They nodded in response, as they then scattered right when Daggeron breathed fire at them. Rory then suddenly swooped down to the ground to grab a small sack that rustled a bit. "Sorry, skunky." he apologized to the moving bag, while holding it up in front of him. "You were gonna be my little snack to go, but...better you than me to be eaten by huge dragon!" he chirped, flying back to the action with the dragon.
He flew up to the dragon's head and glared into it's eyes. "Hey! Dragon breath!" he called out to the beast demandingly. "Here's a mint to help with your bad breath!" he insulted, tossing the little bag into the dragon's mouth. On instinct, Daggeron swallowed the bag, but when he did his mouth began to burn as his eyes started to water from the foul taste and smell from the skunk inside it.
Daggeron roared and shook it's head vigorously from the discomfort that eating a skunk would give you. The girls just hovered there making grossed out faces at the sight, knowing very well what was inside the bag that Rory had thrown into it's mouth due to their vampire sense of smell picking up on the odor from it. Rory on the other hand, hovered there with a big proud grin on his face at his deed.
Meanwhile back with Ethan, he quickly turned to Evelyn once he saw the vamps keeping Daggeron busy for him like he requested.
"My dearest Evelyn, just how much magic do you think you have left in you to do?" asked Ethan intriguingly to her.
Mrs. Weir smirked. "Enough to do whatever crazy thing you're planning on doing, my prince. Why?" she answered.
"Great! Because I need you to create a catapult for me." he beamed satisfyingly at her.
With a few words said in Latin, a large catapult had magically appeared before them. Happy with what he saw, Ethan immediately ran up to it and climbed inside. "Alright, Mrs. Weir! Let her go!" shouted Ethan, ready for action.
She came up to the lever that would release the catapult and launch Ethan, with an uncertain look on her face. "Are you sure that you want to do this?" she asked, making sure. Ethan nodded and so she pulled the lever down, thus firing the young prince and sending him flying through the air straight for the dragon.
Ethan held out his sword as he let out a mighty battle cry. Erica, Sarah, and Rory immediately backed off from the dragon. As soon as Daggeron noticed the flying prince headed his way, it was too late.
"Take that, you foul beast of Alissa's!"
Ethan had driven Amaria's Light right into the mighty beast's heart. When he yanked it out, Ethan began to fall all the way down to the ground, but he was luckily caught by Erica...yet again.
"We really should stop meeting like this, your highness." flirted Erica again, with a wink. "I mean, it's suppose to prince who saves the princess. Not the other way around." she added, making Ethan roll his eyes at her.
They landed on the ground, as Sarah and Rory did the same. They stood there and watched as Daggeron roared out in immense pain and agony, flailing about. His huge body then came crashing down, as blood seeped out from the stab wound on his chest. He laid there dead and unmoving from the fatal injury that the prince had left.
They stood there in silence for a moment, until Sarah broke it. "Well, that takes care of that, I suppose."
"Yeah, I guess." pouted Rory sadly. "I still wish we got to ride on it's back, though." he said glumly, looking at Daggeron's corpse. "Why did you have to be an evil dragon, instead of a nice dragon, huh?"
Erica and Sarah faced palmed themselves, groaning at another one of Rory's dumb comments. "Tell me, again why you're dating him?" whispered Sarah discreetly to Erica. Erica just shook her head. "I have no idea." she answered back, sarcastically.
With Daggeron now dead, the gang packed up their gear and continued on their way towards Alissa's castle. Not knowing what else laid ahead of them on their journey.
A/N: Look's like Alissa's little plan to send out her pet dragon to stop them didn't work, didn't it? Now, he's dead and the gang are one step more closer in getting to her. You know she's not gonna be too happy about that, once she finds out. :P
Sorry, fanfic buddy if the whole dragon thing sounded way too familiar to what you got in that one chapter to The Friend Series. I just had to add in a dragon! I mean...what fairytale story wouldn't be complete without doing battle with a ferocious dragon, am I right? ;D I did try to make Daggeron sound different than the dragons in your story. I hope you're not mad at me. *gives you the puppy dog eyes*
Please, review and let me know what you thought about this chapter! I tried to add in some funny parts in it, as well. I've come to realize that maybe in a lot of my chapters for some of my stories there's not as much humor in them, so I tried to add a little bit more in it this time around. So, let me know how I did with the funny.
Until next chapter, I'll be seeing you all around! Bye! :)
