Chapter 12: Electrifying Shock
"Haley!" Jake yelled being held up by a Drameta, with his giant claws to his throat. The rest of the dragons out of their cages were the same; pinned down by a Drameta. Haley, Fu, Trixie, and Spud couldn't help but stare.
The Drameta holding down Jake noticed they had more intruders. He pointed forward, right at them. Just then, four more Drametas came right after them. To avoid getting captured, they each split apart from each other.
Haley flew as fast as she could, away from the horrid Drameta. But as soon as she turned around, the Drameta appeared right in front of her. She quickly changed flying directions, and levitated up higher to avoid getting captured.
After that moment, Jake nudged the Drameta's side and broke free from his grip. The Drameta's skull face smirked downward, as Jake broke free. But he looked up at the sky, the clouds were pouring down water. Lightning lit up the sky as thunder shook the whole room. No one was paying much attention to the weather, until now. It was almost time, he needed to prepare.
Fu Dog ran for his life, and two Drameta's chased after him. In front, was Trixie and Spud. Then, they saw a small opening between a wall and a cage. Spud jumped inside, followed by Trixie then Fu. They tried to squeeze in together, so they wouldn't get captured. One of those two Drametas bent downward, trying to get out the three creatures inside. He opened up his palms, and let out an electric shock to the corner. Sadly, the electric current went straight to the mental cage, and missed the three of them. But a silent gesture signaled the Drameta away from them for good.
Confused, Fu peeked out his head, to see what was up. "I think they're starting to make the potion already…" He turned over to Trixie and Spud.
"How much time do we have left?" Trixie responded.
"At least one hour…"
Haley and Jake flew all around the room, avoiding the Drametas coming after them. They freed one dragon trapped under a Drameta, and tried to free the others. Haley flew high up, staying away as much as possible. Jake, on the other hand, flew low to the ground, trying to knock over as many as them as he could.
Rushing forward, Jake punched out one more Drameta that was fighting another dragon. "YEAH!" He turned around at the fallin' Drameta. But as he turned around, two more Drametas stopped him in his place. They held out their hands, forward at Jake. Two bolts of lightning striked right at him.
"JAKE!!" Haley yelled, at the site of him getting electrified. An uproar of yells and screams with through all the dragons in the cage as they watched. Finally, the lightning stopped; Jake fell to the ground fried up. The dragons pinned to the floor didn't move; each were scared the same thing would happen to them.
The Drametas that were free turned around and stared at Haley, there only target left. Haley quickly flew to the top of the roof, flying as fast as she can away from them.
Three other Drametas didn't chase after her, they stayed in the middle. One got out a giant bowl and placed it in the middle of the alter. Others grabbed other ingredients, and shoved it in the bowl. Soon, there was bubbling purple stuff inside.
One Drameta then came out with a giant pelt of a certain white animal. It was wrapped around with wire, to make it stay together. He set it on the alter, next to the bowl. Then, he set on there a petal of a rose, and a talon from an eagle. Those were the three most important ingredients, to making the potion right.
"JAKE! There making the potion!" Fu yelled loud enough to be heard from the already noisy room, to Jake on the ground. He was still a bit stiff, from the electric shock. But slowly, he got up, and prepared to lift off.
Just then, one of the Drametas pointed over to Jake, who was slowly trying to get up. One Drameta chasing Haley stopped, and walked over to a secret button under a table. Once he pressed it, each one of the cages rocked.
Suddenly, the locks of all the cages doubled. Then they zoomed right over to the dragon in their cage, and locked a ring right onto their foot. Soon, every dragon that was in a cage had a hard silver ring around their leg. Jake, who was just about to fly over to the alter, suddenly returned to dragon form. He fell to the ground, very weak.
"Sphinx hair!!" Sun screamed out, looking all the dragons returning to human form. Their powers and strength are all wiped out.
Since Haley was never in a cage, she was the only dragon left to fight. The Drametas attention was now on her. A small frown appeared on her face. "HALEY! You need to get rid of those ingredients!!" Trixie called over from the corner.
She looked down, at the alter. Suddenly, she zoomed down, and grabbed the talon of the Bald Eagle. She then headed for the exit, but a Drameta appeared right in front of it. Haley then turned around, to go out the other door, but another Drameta blocked the way out…
Suddenly, all the Drametas held up their hands, to let out a giant electrifying shock. Lightning shock everywhere, dragons in the metal cages were shocked violently if the blot went toward them. Haley flew all over the room, trying to dodge the blots.
Then, one blot went straight at her. She tried flying the other way, to avoid it. But it was no use; the bolt went straight at her back, shocking her body.
Haley flew forward, from the force of the shock. She fell directly on a table, flying tons and tons of potions all around the room. She slid forward more on the table, until she went as far to the wall. He head banged right on the wall, and the wall went back more. Seems there was a secret button right there, opening up all the cages with the dragons in it.
One black potion went straight into the air, and landed right inside the mixture of potions. The Drametas eyes widen, and they quickly left out of the room. "Oh no, that's Concentrated Nitrogen!" Fu jumped out of the corner.
"Huh?" Haley looked up her sore head, at Fu.
"The place is gonna blow!!" Fu screamed. The dragons in the cages quickly dropped to the floor, and crawled to the exits. But it was no use; soon the potion started bubbling and the whole building exploded.
Everyone got tossed in the air and landed either on the outside of the building, or in the shallow part of the ocean. As soon as they landed, all the locks on the dragons left disappeared, returning them to their dragon form.
Fu got onto his feet, he seemed okay from the fall. He walked around the forest, looking at the people. "Is everyone okay?"
Trixie and Spud got to their feet, "We're cool." The rest of the dragons slowly got on their feet, and flew over to Fu Dog.
Jake flew over to Trixie and Spud, and dragoned down. He was still a bit shakened up, but he was fine for the most part. "Wait, where's Haley?"
I know this is all very confusing... so let me just briefy explain what happened.
The cages that the dragons were in were enchanted with a spell, that at any moment in time there was trouble, the Drametas would press a button that would double the locks to make them go around their ankle. The locks were reinforced with Sphinx Hair, and finished off with Unicorn horn. Making them impossible to get off and their powers would drain out.
Yeah, that's all that should have confused you. Sad to say, the last chapter shall be the next one. I am glad this one was so good, that I can't wait to get started on my next story :)
