Chapter 5: The Drametas

Fu, followed by Trixie, Spud, and Haley made there way into the Magical World of Magus Bazaar! Fu was supposedly taking them to an old friend of his. This, so called friend, is suppose to be bundled with information about the Drameta, their prime suspects for the whereabouts of every dragon on Isle of Draco, not including Jake, Lao Shi, and Sun.

They continued their walk down the purple avenue of the Magical World. Soon they stopped at small purple colored house, looking similar to the ones standing next to it. "Okay, just let me talking, okay?" Fu warned them, as they stood at the foot of the door.

Fu leaned over, and pushed the door open. A small little creature was sitting in a corner, typing on his computer. He had black hair, pointy ears, and a shadow over his chin which looked like he hadn't shave in over two weeks. The little creature looked up, and saw his home was now being invaded.

"Hey, Big Ernie!!" Fu dog jumped up to the table where Big Ernie sat at.

The little guy noticed the guest, and welcomed him with a frown. "Fu!" He yelled out, as if he was excited. "You're here to pay your bets….right?" He questioned himself. Fu was never known for paying any of his bets. So a certain visit to him either meant he finally gambled his way out of debt so he could pay him back OR he needed more money.

Fu jumped off the desk, getting a bit nervous. "Ahh…no." He prepared for the worse.

"Your 2 years overdue! When am I going to get my money!!?" His voice turned into anger. Yeah sure they were friends, but business is business.

"Some friend he picks." Haley whispered to Trixie and Spud.

Fu made his way over to the small couch closest to the computer table. He positioned rump right on top of it. Following Fu, the three kids walked over and sat next to him.

"Well, actually we need some information…" Fu got the courage to say.

First time in a long time Fu Dog has come over to Big Ernie's house, to NOT discuss money issues. This news intrigued him. "What kind of information do you acquire? He said, tapping his stubby fingers on his desk.

"What can you tell us about, the Drametas?" Fu spoke out.

"Hmm…" Big Ernie shuffled through a draw in his desk. He pulled out a giant book, and laid it on his lap. "Wait a minute…why should I tell you this? You haven't paid me back a single dime."

Fu started to pant a bit, he was getting panicky. "Come on, were pals right?" He joked…but Big Ernie didn't move a muscle.

Haley jumped off the couch, and paced her way up to the desk. "Mr.…Ernie, we need your information. Every dragon on Isle of Draco is missing! We have to find a way to save them!" She tried to convince him with her small cute attitude.

Big Ernie turned away, but couldn't resist her cuteness. "All… alright. But this going on your tab." He jumped off his chair, revealing how short he was. He stumbled over with the giant book, and squeezed between everyone on the couches. Every one huddled around him, preparing for a story.

Big Ernie shifted through the pages, until he found the right chapter: Chapter 12, The Drametas. "The Drametas are an ancient race, dating about to 100 A.D. Their known for their tracking and finding abilities. They have the face of a skull, the body of a beast. They have no legs; they just flow wherever they go. They have super long claws, able to cut through flesh easily. Whenever they leave their home, they cause massive storms to shadow over the country they are going into. Their only known weakness is a dragon. Supposedly they are the second strongest creature on Earth, Dragons being first. Legend has it they rounded up every dragon on Earth the exact day when a full Moon and Mercury line up, which only happens every 500 years at 9:05p.m. It says here that the petal of a rose, the husk of a Sasquatch and the talon of a bald eagle are their key ingredients in creating a spell that can transfer a dragon's power into them. They must have almost every dragon, more than the whole population; chain them with titanium unicorn horn, so that they can transfer through the metal to their bodies. Their strength will be converted to them, and the dragon race will lose their 'life source'. Their plan almost worked, except there was a tiny malfunction that is unknown…" Big Ernie finished up the chapter, and closed the book.

Fu knew most of this information already. What he needed to know was not mentioned. "Do you know where we could find these, Drametas?"

Big Ernie put a finger to his head; he knew almost every place of the magical world, remembering them all was hard. "They are…just north of dimension three, on Quatonplex Island."

"Dimension three? Awww man, the entrance is all the way in Cuba!!!" Fu yelled out. "How are we suppose to get there now!!?"

A spark when into Big Ernie's eyes, as if he had the gift of water to a thirsty traveler. "It only seems far if you don't have a dimensional portal." He pulled out of his pocket, a small orb. He tossed it in the air, taunting the poor people. Fu reached over to grab it, but Big Ernie pulled it backwards, away from him. "Why should I give you this, when you never pay off your bets!!?" He was right back on this topic…again.

"Come on, buddy!" He said, giving off a grin.

"Please!?" Haley begged sitting right next to Ernie. "You know, if you don't give us the spell, all the dragons will die out. Who will protect the world then?" She did have a point.

Though Big Ernie really did want to make this a business deal, he couldn't risk the destruction of the dragons, the magical world. He tossed over the orb, and it landed into Trixie's hands. "Fine, here you go. But it's going on your tab!!?" Those were the only words that Big Ernie seemed to use to threaten anyone. "Now get out of my house before I change my mind."

The people rushed out of his house. "Thanks Big guy!" Fu exclaimed as he headed out.

"Yeah, yeah…" Big Ernie rolled his eyes, and jumped back onto his chair to continue his business.

They now stood in front of Big Ernie's house, more onto his sidewalk. Fu went on all two paws and grabbed the orb. He started punching the name of their destination.

Haley looked over at Fu, worried. "Ah Fu, shouldn't we get some help before we go?" She pointed out.

"No time kid. According to my astronomical knowledge, the day that the Full moon and Mercury line up exactly is tomorrow night! We don't have time to get anyone else!!" He yelled, finishing up his project.

Haley's little eye's widen. "You mean, I have to do this alone?" He cried. This would be her first mission, away from Sun or Jake. And her first mission out of New York or Magus Bazaar.

"Don't sweat it kid, you'll do fine. Besides, I'll be there to watch your back." He then put in the last letter of their destination. The orb lit up, and split apart in two. The two halves hovered over each other in Fu's paw. "There."

"Okay…" Haley sighed.

He then turned over to Spud and Trixie. "The way to Quatonplex Island is pretty long and dangerous. You guys in?"

"Of course baby, we have to have Haley's back, to save Jake." Trixie yelled out. She then turned to Spud, waiting for his answer.

"Well umm…actually I was…" Suddenly Trixie shoved her elbow into Spud's side. "I mean, yeah I'm in."

"Okay then. Let's go!!" Fu called out. He then pressed down to two halves of the orb, and a light shock out of the sides of the orb. It flashed out, and then the four disappeared from Magus Bazaar.

I'm not sure if that's the exact day Mecury and the moon line up xDD I made it up. :P
