The team made their way down the Realms atmosphere. Their ships looked like fireballs out of the sky, ready to crash land into the surface. Down below the trio of pilots was a beautiful view of an ocean. Allan looked down and squinted his eyes to see large seahorses leaping out of the ocean's surface. He didn't look surprised, since he knew this was a different planet to him, so anything here goes. The fire around them began disappearing as they began flying only a few feet above the ocean's surface.
"Alright guys you know the drill. Open the wings" Allan said over the headset. Each teammate's wings opened to a more free state while the tips of the wings flipped up. Jose looked at his radar which began to blink rapidly. An energy reading was going off the charts.
"Hey Allan, there's something up head. Check the readings. My radars ready to commit suicide." Allan looked over his shoulder and discovered his readings where bouncing as well.
"Let's land here and take a look." He replied. He charged his thrusters while J.J. and Jose followed right behind him. Ahead they could see a beach with giant crab shells the size of houses.
"Why do I have the sudden craving for seafood?" Jose said to himself. His stomach gurgled a little.
"Daaaannng! What do the people around here feed those things?" J.J. said staring dumbstruck at the large shells. He accidentally hit a seagull that stuck on his window. "Gwack! I can't see man!" he said in a panic tone. Allan sighed over his headset and dropped lower near the sandy beach. He stopped with his brakes and hovered over his landing spot. Finally, the ProwlerWing landed on the ground. Jose landed a few feet from his. J.J, who was still blinded crashed the bottom of his StealthWing into the ground and continued to slide until it crashed into a rock pillar. He opened the window and flattened the seagull flat. Suddenly it disappeared into a butterfly. "What the…how the…never mind." He said jumping off a wing. The trio looked around at their surroundings.
"Man, I wish I had my PMK. I would be less worried if…" Allan's wrist PDA turned on which appeared general Ruther's head.
"I see you made it down safely. The force field is back up again. Now all you need is to find something to defend yourselves." He spoke leaning the head back.
"But General, what about our PMK's?" Allan asked looking a tad upset. Ruther's head shook.
"Always the same like your Grandfather, Allan. Shoot first and ask questions later."
"But…" Jose said trying to interject.
"I've sent you three down here to save these Realms. Not blow them up!" he said in an angry manner. The trio sighed and walked along the coastline for something useful. Allan turned off the PDA, which Ruther's head vanishing.
"Well, we should get star-MOTHER FUMMMP!" Allan screamed trying to hold his language. He grabbed his foot and began muttering many censored words. Jose and J.J. turned around and ran over.
"Dude what happened?" Jose asked him. Allan looked at him angrily with his face red.
"I stubbed my damn foot! That's what happened!" he yelled back. Jose shrugged and bent over at the area Allan stubbed his foot. He felt something hollow and metal-like and began dusting the sand off it. When he got deep enough he discovered a red and brown chest. J.J. stared at the chest in astonishment and helped lift it off the ground. Allan managed to help, ignoring the large pain he felt in his foot. Gently they dropped the chest on a palm tree stump. J.J.'s eyes widened in excitement while he rubbed his hands. Jose and Allan stared at the chest in curiosity.
"Man, I bet I can take a vacation with my share." Jose said feeling the chest with his hands. Allan looked at the chest's key section. The pick was half broken and already loosened, he then touched it and pushed upwards. As soon as a crack was seen, a glow of light appeared from the inside. The trio's eyes began to twinkle as Allan pushed the entire hood of the chest off. They looked inside and found dozens of large sparkling gems in different colors.
"It's better than I thought" Allan said in amazement. Suddenly they hear tiny footsteps coming from where they landed. J.J. quickly closed the hood of the chest and grabbed a large thick stick from behind them. The footsteps began moving into the bushes. Allan looked at J.J. in frustration when he noticed the stick. "Your gonna beat the crap out him with that dinky thing?!" he whispered. J.J. nodded his head standing up.
"Not the way I do it though" he replied. Jose and Allan shook their heads and waited for the creature to appear from the bushes. Suddenly the creature leaped, and J.J. leaped without noticing and landed his body on top of the creature. Unfortunately he was electrocuted, with his skeleton showing like a dieing light bulb. Allan looked at the creature with a sigh, Raichu.
"Hey guys, what's up? Besides J.J. going psycho." he asked scratching his right ear with his oval hand. J.J. didn't reply since he was still moaning and twitching from the pain he felt.
"We found treasure. Look" Allan opened the chest which revealed the treasure. Raichu only smiled with satisfaction.
"Cool, you found more gems." He said looking closer inside the chest. Jose looked at the electric mouse in confusion.
"Wait a minute…what do you mean…more gems?" he asked with his eyebrow raised. Raichu sighed and picked a red gem from the chest.
"Around here they use gems as a currency. I found more after beating up some crabs. They died and vanished into something like this" he held the gem up to give Allan and Jose the idea. They nodded in understanding their treasure. Jose grabbed another and stared at it.
"Hey Raichu, who told you this?" Allan asked the electric type mouse. He pointed his oval hand where they landed.
"There's a hut with a guy named 'Moneybags' who runs a shop. He seemed nice…if I had enough to by that cool sword. I bought this backpack instead for myself! See it has thunderbolt on it and…"
"Wait! What sword?" Allan asked the Pokemon. Raichu sighed and tugged on Allan's leg.
"Just let me handle the gems. This bag can hold an infinite amount of…"
"How can that thing hold all these gems?" Jose asked interrupting him again.
"Magic" he replied. Allan and Jose both raised an eyebrow.
"Magic?"
"Yep, magic"
"C'mon. You're foolin with the wrong guys Raichu. Nobody believes in magic." Jose said with a sarcastic look. Raichu shook his head and pulled out a book with the words "Dragon Realms for Dummies". He opened the book and looked at the third page.
"The Realms are created by the unique power of magic and other powerful energy that gives many creatures a power. It is also one of the main weapons in combat by the one of the majority, the dragon." He said closing the book in satisfaction. "Now you understand?" Jose stared at him in frustration. He nodded slightly.
"Outsmarted by a Raichu. Terrific." He said to himself. The two dumped the chest of gems on the ground. Raichu opened his backpack which somehow made the gems twirl in a circle and then fell right into the backpack.
"If I'm right, we could buy some supplies from Moneybags" he said running off. Jose chased after him making sure he doesn't blow it off at once. Allan picked up J.J. who was limping and still moaning.
"Where am I?" he said coming to. Allan didn't reply as he walked towards the ProwlerWing. He placed J.J. near his StealthWing and began looking inside his cockpit. He took off his green jacket and white shirt. He picked up a green shirt and white vest and put them on. He then found a metal octagon machine with a blue light and hooked it on his belt. Finally he picks up a canteen and a medium-size dark blue backpack with two pouches to add additional stuff in. He closed the window and found J.J. with a black shirt and blue jeans with a grey backpack.
"I see you changed as well. Ready?" he asked with a chuckle. J.J. smiled and followed Allan to a blue hut with a red curtain. Raichu and Jose were waiting for them. He too changed clothes. He wore a red biker's bandana with a black shirt and grey vest. His green pants were the same. He already had his backpack on.
"After you Raichu" Jose said moving his hand like a butler. He rolled his eyes and walked inside. Allan and J.J. followed in as well. Inside were dozens of crates and knickknacks. Vases were placed on a window for decoration. Another curtain could been seen which was opened by a brown bear with a blue pants, a white shirt with a multicolored vest, a monocle on an eye.
"Ah welcome back my electric friend! Oh and I see you brought more friends" he said an Arabian and European accent. Raichu jumped on a crate and looked around.
"Hey Moneybags. We found a chest of gems, so were kinda shopping." He looked at the swords that were standing sideways. One was a tad bigger than the other two; also it had a purple grasp, which had a red symbol with a fire logo on it. "How much for the three swords?" he asked the bear. He picked it up and shrugged.
"I just found it not long ago, but since you're the first customer I had for awhile, I'll make you an offer…nine thousand gems for all three. Includes a holder for them as well." He replied. Raichu immediately opened his backpack and pulled out hundreds of types of gems swirling into a basket. Moneybags looked and nodded with a smile. He took off the swords from the wall and placed them in the holders. He handed one to Jose, another to J.J, and the largest one to Allan. He looked at Raichu to see how much they had left.
"We have a thousand left. Anything else?" Allan looked around saw a small blue vest, perfect for Raichu's size. He pointed at it and Raichu handed over a hundred gems, which was the price on the labeled price tag. He put it on and smiled at Allan. "Thanks!" he said joyfully. Allan smiled back and turned around and faced Jose and J.J. who placed the holders in a side pocket of their backpacks.
"Let's go man. I want to try this out! I haven't touch a sword for awhile!" he said marching out the curtain. Allan and J.J. followed out with Raichu waving goodbye.
"If you need money to spend, Raichu, I'm here to relive you of the burden" he said as he went back into the other curtain.
Outside they walked around and tried out the new swords. J.J. pulled out his which was an ice-blue color with a dark blue grasp. He pretended he sliced someone, which magically fired a small bolt of ice from the tip. The trio jumped in astonishment.
"Holy…did I see what I think I saw?" Allan said touching the tip of J.J.'s sword. It was still cold, almost felt like a blizzard. J.J. slowly backed up and climbed on a small rock. He jumped an stabbed the earth which unleashed a powerful wave of ice and snow, Jose tried to dodge but his feet were caught up in the attack, and froze them.
"Dude what the hell?! Fix this now or I'll…" Allan fired a medium sized flame at the ice which quickly melted in front of Jose's feet. He backed out of the way and fired a small wave of wind at J.J, knocking him off his feet and into a wall." He grinned in satisfaction and stared at the sword with his eyes wide open, along with his mouth.
"I must use this power for good!" he said out loud. Allan pointed his sword at both of them and laughed.
"I am Zorro, prepare to die!" said quickly in his best Mexican accent. He couldn't hold his laugh and did. Jose picked up J.J. and faced Allan who tried to calm down.
"Hey Zorro, lets scout for a bit. I bet we'll find what's goin on around here." J.J. said walking near a cave. Allan wiped a tear from his eye and followed with Jose who was still preoccupied in his swords mystic power.
"So I have the power of wind, J.J. gets ice and you get fire, right Allan?" Jose asked placing his sword back in its holder. Allan shrugged, he looked at the sword and noticed it had three empty slots on top of the fire emblem.
"It looks like I get a four in one special" he shows the markings and slots to Jose who studied the sword quickly. Suddenly they bump into J.J.'s back and huffed in frustration.
"What gives J.J? J.J?" Allan asked him. He walked in front of him and waved his hand in front of his face. Jose looked at him poking him he turned his head in the direction of J.J.'s head and jaw dropped.
"Uhhh, Allan…" he said in a whisper. Allan stopped looking at J.J. and turned in the same direction. He opened his eyes as wide as they could go and saw a massive purple crystal the size of a three story building near a waterfall… without the water. The surroundings were pale and dark, almost scary to look. A gate was opened from below them with four large lizard-like creatures carrying a black and red figure, to hard to see.
"Let me go you ugly gnorc!" the prisoner said in female smooth and raspy voice. The pilots and Raichu ducked behind a pile of rocks, aiming their swords at the gnorcs. Allan pointed two fingers to his face, then at the four gnorcs carrying their prisoner. He was telling Jose and J.J. to flank them, while he and Raichu attack them head on. Finally the gnorcs lay the prisoner near the large crystal and laughed.
The prisoner was a small jet-black dragon with a red underside. She had green eyes and red and black wings. Her nose was pushed in while she had a dinosaur-like head. She was tied up and trying to breathe fire, but her mouth was tied as well, allowing her only to speak.
"Well leave you until Gnasty finds a good way to deal with you. Ruining the Foe's plans…how lame can a dragon yet!" he laughed again.
Finally Jose and J.J. out of the small cave and drew their swords. Jose whirled a quick attack of wind that grew larger from his distance and sent the gnorcs flying to opposite directions. Allan and Raichu jumped from their position and unleashed a wheel of flame and Thunder Wave combination stunning the gnorcs from everywhere. Suddenly the gate opened with a dozen of them running around with tiny and weak clubs of bones. One fired a bow at Allan, but he quickly pushed the metallic octagon which created a reflective shield around his body, sending the arrow straight back at the gnorc in his head. He fell and disappeared. Allan strafed and fired a barrage of small flames at his enemies charging towards the prisoner.
" Back me up guys!" he ordered. Raichu followed Allan and fired a Thunder-Bolt at a trio of gnorcs. They quickly were fried and became a pile of gems. Allan dove in front of the dragon who looked him with confusion. Allan smiled and untied her mouth, allowing her to speak clearly.
"Thank you, I thought I was done for" she said weakly. Allan pulled out a small pocket knife and began cutting the ropes from the arms and legs.
"Some challenge you guys are!" J.J. said slicing a gnorc in half. A burst of light came out and exploded into more gems. Jose created a small whirlwind and tossed three more up into the air, then causing them to crash into the ground. Allan finished the last piece of rope and untied the female dragon. She shook off and charged on the large group of gnorcs, about twelve were standing ready to charge. She leaped into a small gap between them. They all stared at her angrily in a stupid way.
"Get her! Forget Gnasty!" one said out loud. They dog piled on her until the entire group covered up in an ugly green puffball. Suddenly a dark shadow appeared from underneath the pile. A swirling vortex of shadows appear twirling the dozen gnorcs in the air. Finally a massive explosion of power erupted from all around it became pitch black making it impossible to see.
Allan tuned on his reflector to see where the dragon was. Finally light was brought back, allowing Jose, J.J, Allan, and Raichu to see the result of the dragonesses attack. There in the middle of the area was the dragon standing in a fighter's stance. Allan backed away but the dragon relaxed and slowly walked over to the foursome.
"I don't what she did but…that…was…awesome!" Jose said stunned at the attack. The female faced him and smiled.
"You're alright for a hatchling" J.J. said acting cool. The dragon raised an eyebrow and huffed.
"Excuse me? I'm thirteen, that's a teen" she replied at J.J. who backed away feeling stupid. The two pilots walked away while Allan walked up to the giant crystal. He felt it and could feel the energy it possessed. "That's a dark gem. Unfortunately I can't destroy it." She said sadly. Allan knocked on it and opened his backpack. He pulled out a square computer with a timer on it he place it on the dark gem and set it for five minutes. Before he started the countdown he looked at the dragon.
"What will happen if I destroy this?" he asked the dragonesses. She looked at him and then at the clock.
"It'll melt. I don't think blowing it up will knock it down." She replied. Allan chuckled.
"Not the technology you might have" he said and pushed the countdown button. The two ran out of the waterfall area and back into the cave. J.J, Raichu and Jose were waiting for them from the other side. The two passed the trio and walked panting. A minute later a large explosion came out of the cave. Fire and smoke was released from the exit. The tall dark gem fell to the ground and hissed as the gem melted into a liquid matter, which it soon evaporated. The waterfall area became lively again with water pouring out again, making a stream, and into the ocean and a nearby river.
Allan looked back at the cave and walked inside with only the dragon and Raichu behind him. They took a great look at the restored waterfall and sighed in relief.
"Coastal Remains is fixed thanks to you guys" the black female dragon said staring at the waterfall. Allan and Raichu nodded and walked back outside.
"So what were you doing around here to get captured?" Raichu asked walking next the female dragon.
"I tried to stop the Gnasty from spreading dark gems everywhere. I was asleep one night, and the next thing I know I was bound and tied up and taken here." She replied. Allan nodded and checked his PDA and the energy readings. They were almost normal in this area.
"I you listening they're working with the Foe. A race of disgusting lizards and slugs who want nothing but domination. I guess they worked a deal to get Gnasty to come out and attack these parts." Allan remembered his manners and stopped walking. The dragon and Raichu stopped as well. "My names Allan and this is Raichu. Over there is J.J. and Jose." He said the dragonesses smiled.
"My names…Cynder" she replied back. Allan nodded agreeing to a good name.
"Well Cynder, I guess we should get going. I have chores I still have to do on the Atlantis" he said waving goodbye. Cynder ran in front of Allan and lead the way out.
"The Atlantis" she asked moving her head slightly. Raichu walked next to her.
"Our home, the mothership around your planets orbit." He replied. She became more confused.
"What do you mean my planet? Wait… are you saying your…"
"Not from this planet? Yes" Allan replied. Cynder looked at him in disbelief. "Well since we both want to save the Realms, why don't join us. We always could use the extra hand" without hesitation, Cynder nodded and smiled. She followed, and met up Jose and J.J. who were growing inpatient. "Sorry guys. I like you to meet Cynder. She'll be helping us out saving the Realms."
"Anybody who can tan hides can join anytime!" J.J. replied.
"Double for me J.J." Jose replied from J.J. The five walked over and introduced Cynder to the Arwings. She widened her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw.
"Lets go. Raichu, help Cynder to fit in the back with you." Raichu nodded jumped on the ProwlerWing. Cynder jumped up and slowly placed herself easily on the left side, leaving plenty of space for room and enough for Raichu. Allan jumped in the cockpit and closed the window. He reached for a white bag and handed it to Cynder. "You'll probably need this" he said putting on his sunglasses from his white vest. He pushed a sequence of holographic buttons and the engine began to kick in.
"Here we go!" Raichu said to Cynder who suddenly felt a shade of green on her face. She grabbed the white bag and…coughed.
"That's perfectly normal for a first timer" the ProwlerWing hovered over the ground and faced the sky above the ocean. The engines ignited a massive burst of flames. The fighter began to shake as Allan saw Jose and J.J.'s ship blast into orbit. Finally Allan charged out into the sky passing clouds.
"WAAAAHHHH!!" Cynder screamed holding on to Raichu. He tried to push her off but her claws were stuck to him. They already could see stars and darkness.
"Almost out….aaannnnndddd….now we're out" Allan said turning and facing the two in the backseat. Raichu watched as she was "coughing" more into the bag. "I got more if you need any" he said with a smile. A ping sound was heard which showed the location of the mothership, the Atlantis. Cynder finally felt better and gazed her emerald eyes over the Realms and into space.
"Krrttzzz-Roburto-here. Opening-the-sliding-door" Cynder turned her head and saw a massive vessel with four gigantic dark-blue wings and the rest a silver color. She stared with astonishment.
"Its…Its…"
"Amazing isn't? My grandfather designed it and created the original Stealth Squadron. Your looking at the best mercenary group in the entire human race" he said proudly. Finally the steel door opened up which Allan saw Kent, Jose and J.J, waiting for them. "how about a good nights sleep? I have to send a lot of data." Cynder poked her head at Allan and smiled.
"Actually I'll stay up. I want to look around" she replied. Allan shrugged and piloted the fighter into the docking bay.
