Chapter 11: Running from Drametas
Haley and Jake soared through the hallways, going as fast as they could. It wasn't long, before the Drametas trailed behind them. Jake and Haley switch inside a new door that looked like another storage closet. They quickly shut the door, and dropped the whole gang in the closet.
"I like we lost them." Jake looked at the top of the closet door, with a little window. No sign of anything, out there.
Fu started to walk around in circles, thinking. "Lucky for us, Drametas aren't the best fliers. But now they have our scent, it won't be long before they find us in here."
"Well, in the meantime, what are we gonna do!" Trixie said, shaking Fu. She was terrified, right now.
Dragoning down, Haley stood up and looked over at the three. "We need to find a way, to free the dragons. With that many, we might have a chance at destroying the Drametas."
Jake dragoned down too. All of them faced forward, staring at the 9 year old girl. "There has to be like a button, or keys to set them all free." She added.
"But how are we going to find this key, or button?" Jake inquired.
"Hmmm…" Fu let out. "I would think it would be back in that room we were just in." He figured.
Suddenly, Jake started to shake back and forth. "Hey, let me go!!" He yelled. They turned around, to see a Drameta holding tight to Jake's body. Each one of its long nails was interlaced with each other, to make sure he couldn't escape. Then he started to electrify Jake, gripping him very tight.
"I'll save yah kid!" Fu yelled out, as he jumped into the air. He then chomped his sharp dog teeth; right on the Drameta's bony arm. The Drameta started to fly back and forth, trying to get him off.
"Everyone get out!" Haley called out. Trixie and Spud quickly charged to the side of the Drameta, running out into the halls. Just then Haley went behind the Drameta, pulling on his robe.
Distracted now, Jake turned around and blew fire into the Drameta's face. Its robe, started to catch on fire. A moment after, Haley flew down the same way Trixie and Spud went. "Dragon up!" Jake yelled, and then flew next to Haley.
Out of no where, another Drameta magically appeared down the Hallway. Haley swirled around the side of, barely missing its wretched claws.
Jake, on other hand, flew under him. Flying under the Drameta's robe, something sparked his dragon eye-site. Something was sparkling on the side of the Drameta's robe. Swiftly and slyly, Jake maneuvered his tail behind it, and pulled it off without the Drameta noticing. He then gained more speed, to fly side by side with Haley.
Haley and Jake soon caught up with Trixie, Spud, and Fu. But suddenly, there was a two way hallway approaching. Which way to take? "Guys, split up!" Jake quickly thought. Haley and Jake went down the hallway to the right, while the rest went down the hallway to the left. The two Drametas went in the same direction, as the two dragons went…
Flying into the hallway, it wasn't long before the two of them found the other door that let them in the room where the dragons were stored. Quickly, the raced inside.
Haley went in first, going over to Sun. "Haley, I have the key!" He pulled the object he held in his tail. He then tossed it over, to her.
This special key had a fine shape sculpted into it. It had a curved moon shape, then a circle sphere at the bottom end of the key. It was shining orange and blue colors, and was made of pure unicorn horn.
BAM! Three Drameta's barged through both entrances of the door. Jake blew fire at the entrance near him, but he could sense another Drameta coming behind him.
Pushing the key into Sun's luck, Haley tried to free her. However, the lock wouldn't go in. "Jake! This key doesn't lock some cages!" Haley looked at each lock noticing the different. Some had the same shape of the key, but it was backwards or upside down. And others had the same exact shape as her key.
"Just try to free as many as you can!" Jake moved his claws back and forth, dodging the Drameta's arms. Suddenly, he did a back flip, and opened his legs up. Simultaneously, he kicked off two of the three Drameta's coming after him. He then charged at the last one, grabbing his bony arm and thrashing down to the ground.
As fast as she could. She stuck the key in as many cages as she could. Then, she pulled out the dragon, out of the cage. She got about 6 dragons out, but none of them were awake. They were still in a deep sleep, and there wasn't a loud enough sound to wake them up yet.
Haley flew to the other side of the wall, trying the locks there. "Haley!" Jake screamed out, pinned down by one of the Drametas. She turned around, only to be shoved forward by a Drameta coming at her fast. Haley went forward, and crashed into the stack of cages. Lots of cages went tumbling downward.
The sound of falling cages echoed through the room. Just then, every single dragon awoke from their sleep, even the six she freed.
"Huh? What" Shaking their heads, as the six dragons found themselves free.
Haley shuffled herself out of the cages around her, and slapped the Drameta with her tail. With that free time, she flew over to the doorway, where Jake was fighting at.
A blast a fire soon beamed right at the two Drameta's holding him down. Jake then quickly got up, and looked at his sister. "Haley, you go find Trixie and Spud. I'll stay here." He flew right toward the Drameta closest to him, and gave him a slap down with his tail.
With the okay, Haley quickly dashed out of the room, and back into never ending hallway. She made a sharp turn, down the same hallway she was at in the closet. Then, with her dragon vision, she could see three figures running down the opposite hallway. Haley leaned in forward, trying to gain speed. She brought back her wings, to prevent her from running into the wall as she entered into the hallway. From the left of her, she could hear the screams of Trixie, Spud and Fu as the raced down the hallway. To the right…she could see…the Drameta!!
Opening up her mouth wide, Haley let out an inferno of fire over at the Drameta. The Drameta flew backwards, patting onto its robe, trying to extinguish the flames.
Turning the opposite direction, she flew faster over to Trixie and Spud. Soon, she was right over them. "Hang on guys." She called out. Suddenly, she grabbed hold of Trixie in one hand, Spud in the other. But just in time, Trixie picked up Fu, and cradled him in his hands.
Slowly speed, Haley tried really hard to fly fast enough with the three of them in her hands. But there was no hope for this young of dragon to carry two teenage children plus a Shar-pei dog. "Haley, are you sure you can carry us?" Trixie looked to how low they were to the ground.
Haley didn't answer; she tried concentrating her mind on flying. But the flying trip only lasted a few short seconds. Just then Haley fell downward, ramming the four of them straight for the ground. The impact of the fall made them go tumbling forward.
"It's the door!" Haley cheered. It wasn't long before they were all onto their feet, and ran for the doors. But inside, they could see 15 Drameta's all in the same room, guarding 7 of the freed dragons.
I was going to put more in this chapter, but it got too long xD. Only two chapters left!! UNTIL...THE END XDD
