Chapter 9: The Fourth Task

Today is the big day!! The day of the final task. All the teams were fast asleep right now, as it is about 5:45 in the morning. Aylonn put a spell on the alarm clocks, so everyone knew what time to get up before the big event started.

At exactly 6 o' clock, everyone's alarm clocks set off. The competitors moaned and cried about getting up so late, but they knew that it was time to get ready. All the teams got up, and walked outside to Aylonn.

Aylonn was a bit far from the hotel, standing there. The teams were not prepared to get up this early, which was exactly what he wanted. Aylonn was companied by his two brothers, who stood behind him. Before the dragons were close enough to hear, Bailatic whispered to him. "Don't ruin this, it took us exactly 1002 years to get to this point. We're lucky you haven't blown it by now, but don't lose your guard" He said, trembling in fear. He knew that Aylonn was excited to get on with his plan, and might spill some hints to the conclusion.

"Do not worry yourselves." He turned around, and gave a smile. He turned back around, to greet the players.

"Welcome everyone! Did you get my wake up call!?" He joked, but no one was laughing. Most of the players were still in their pajamas; some still even had their morning hair. "I did warn you this one will be a morning rush."

"Now, before we begin the next task, let's recap the scoreboard. First we have Kakiri, second Hazlin, third Jake, fourth, Taromo, fifth Fred, and in last place we have Joris." He spoke, but he seemed to rush through the list as if he was in a hurry. "Ok, now let's start the fourth task!! I want all the competitors to go out in the middle," he pointed out beside him, in an empty field. The players dragoned up, and flew over and waited for the task to begin.

Jake and Fred's dragon masters, along with Fu, stood on the outside watching. Fu dog, seemed to be shaking in fear, wondering the heck is going to happen next. Gramps looked down, and noticed the sudden shake in his step. But Fu dog was paranoid 24/7; maybe he was just overreacting again. I mean, this is just pointless competition right? Nothing wrong can come out of this….

The players flew around in the center, waiting on their mission. They all stared over at Aylonn, who was preparing. Finally, he rose up his hand, and lifted it high for everyone too see. With a snap of his finger, invisible rays came were sent out from the force of his snap.

Suddenly, an invisible force was appearing. It didn't seem invisible to the players though… it was more, a muffled figure. The force was becoming clearer and clearer, until you could see the creature that was sent out.

A hundred foot monster pounded right in the middle of the dragons. This gigantic monster not only was big, it was ugly. It oozed out aqua green slime, out from its body. It was covered in this slime, so you couldn't even tell what was under it. He also had 16 arms out, all scattered around his body. Not that he needed anything else; he also had a nice set of sharp teeth to finish his appearance. The monster gave out a roar of anger, and waved its arms around to grab something.

"Ai-yah!! It's a Siteraltis!" Gramps yelled out, but not too loud. He knew that because of his mouth, Jake had got in trouble for his last task, and did not want to ruin it again.

"A Si-tera what now?" Fu dog looked up at gramps, and saw his facial expression.

"A Siteraltis, an ancient monster. Known to live forever, because no one has been able to kill it." He answered. Suddenly, Lao Shi got a bit worried. How the heck was Jake suppose to kill a thing that no one has been able to kill, ever!? He stared up at Jake, almost tempted to interfere.

"The object of this task is to take down this monster. You will each work on the same monster… and you are allowed to use anything possible. The first person to destroy it is the winner!" Aylonn laughed hysterically.

None of the competitors had ever heard of this strange monster. But that didn't concern them, they each took different positions, and set on destroying him.

Jake took the first plunge. "Ha, the Amdrag gots this one!" He said, and flew over to the left side of the monster. With that, he gave a kick to with his foot, into the Siteraltis. However, the ooze was thick like butter, so Jake's leg was stuck. "What the…?" Jake questioned, as he tried to break free from it.

Kakiri looked over at Jake from above, "Amateur," Kakiri said, and set in a position. With that, She grabbed out her two swords, and swung it had one of the giant monster's arms. However, the monster has very quick reflexives. Before she attacked him, he grabbed Kakiri, and threw her to the ground. It cracked the ground below her, so you could tell that had to hurt.

The other dragons left their posts, and attacked the monster too. Taromo tried using his strength to conjure this giant. He flew with all his force, right to the monster's face. However, one of his arms guarded his unoozy face, which grabbed him to defeat.

Hazlin tried her ice powers. She figured the real weak spot was under the slime, so freezing it might break away from it, and give her a chance to attack. She flew over to the back of the monster, and breathed out ice from her mouth. With that, the ooze started to freeze. Once it was solid Ice, Hazlin kicked it, to see if it will shatter. But in the end, once it broke through, the ooze started to spew over her; she now was stuck in the goo.

Fred and Joris didn't even have a chance to attack. With only a bit of effort, the two found themselves trying to dodge the many hands that came after them. They were pretty swift in the air, swirling up and down trying to escape. But they were never fast enough to actually avoid them, to see if they put down an attack.

Another roar came out the monster's mouth, a piercing scream that haunted everyone. Aldo was a bit freaked out by the site of the monster. Instead of coming over to attack, he floated there in the air, frozen. He stared as the others try to overpower him, but he knew it was impossible.

Jake finally broke free from the monster's slime. He shook off the extra goo that was still on his leg, and prepared to attack again. This time, he tried going for one of the arms, as it seemed the only possible thing to attack.

Jake opened his mouth wide, and let out a tornado of fire. It singed the Siteraltis's arm, and left a small burn mark. The monster looked over, to see him injured, and planned to retaliate.

Just after Jake burned the monster, he left out another roar. Just like that, he stopped all his arms, and looked around the whole area. And simultaneously, he reached out his arms, and grabbed all the players. Now, he held all seven of the dragons, in his clutches.

With them at his mercy; he threw up his arms, and heaved them down to the ground. They took a major blow to all of the seven's strength; as now, each grew weaker and weaker….

MUHAHAHA!! Ok, next chapter you will finally figure out Aylonn's secret plan.
