Hello, and I'm back with another chapter of The New Universal.

I think that this is going to be the second to last chapter of this fanfiction, but I'm not completely sure at the moment-it's most likely the second to last, though.

Also, I meant for there to be creatures thinking and all that in this chapter, but I had to update from my phone, which decided to be stupid and put everything in regular font instead of italics. So if something seems odd as a part of the story because it's like a conversation, that's because it's communication through their bonds. Just wanted to clear that up.

Anyway, I don't own the Companion Quartet.

Enjoy!

Instantly, Connie dove out of the way as there was screaming. Plenty of kids grabbed their books and ran as fast as they could, although a few were just too shocked about what they were seeing.

A large black dragon was poking its head into the building, roaring loudly and looking really angry.

"No way," Connie hissed, getting ready to transform, but then she noticed Abby slowly walked towards the dragon, her eyes wide in wonder.

"Abby!" Connie yelled instead, starting to run to her companion, but the dragon turned its head at her and roared, then turned and grabbed Abby in its mouth-not eating her, thank god. Instead, it carried her away.

Connie started to shift, but Col suddenly grabbed her sleeve.

Connie snapped her head at him and Rat, glaring at them. "What're you doing?!"

"Can we come with you?" Col asked, and before Connie could argue, he added, "Abby's our friend, too. We just want to help out and see what's going on."

Connie sighed, gritting her teeth. "Fine. But do anything to me and I won't hesitate to transform mid-air and let you fall. Got that?"

Col and Rat nodded, then stepped back as Connie shifted into a large, silver dragon. Col and Rat quickly scrambled onto her back, then she took off after the black dragon.

Meanwhile...

Abby hung limply in the black dragon's mouth, concentrating on holding up her helm to drown out the dragon's mental voice, but it really wasn't easy to block out the dragon's absolute rage.

HUMANS ARE THE WORST SCUM CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE A UNIVERSAL I'LL SHOW THEM YEAH SHOW THEM THEY'LL REGRET EVER ATTACKING MY HOME FOR THEIR OWN HOMES THEN HAVING NO ACTUAL PURPOSE THEY'LL REGRET IT!

Please, calm down, Abby called out to the dragon weakly, catching its attention.

UNIVERSAL AWAKE WILL HELP ME AVENGE MY FAMILY MY FAMILY NEEDS ME I NEED TO GET REVENGE FOR THOSE HUMANS DESTROYING OUR HOME TAKING OUR EGGS-MY CHILDREN!

Please, it's going to be alright, Abby said weakly. I promise.

MUST TAKE HUMANS DOWN YOU WILL HELP ME DO YOU THINK IT'S ALRIGHT THAT THEY TOOK MY EGGS, MY MATE IS GONE AWAY OUR EGGS ARE ALL I HAVE LEFT YOU CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN!

And I won't, Abby promised. But I can't do anything until you calm down. I'll help you, but you need to stay calm.

HOW CAN I STAY CALM WHEN MY EGGS ARE GONE MY MATE ALREADY HAD TO LEAVE TO VISIT FAMILY SHE DIED BECAUSE OF A HUMAN AIRCRAFT THEN THEY DESTROY MY HOME FIND MY EGGS AND TAKE THOSE AWAY TO SOME STRANGE BUILDING IN ORDER TO STUDY THEM MY CHILDREN MY POOR CHILDREN!

I won't let them keep your children, Abby said. But I can't do anything if you're carrying me like this.

Suddenly, the dragon threw Abby up into the air. She screamed as she fell down and landed on its back, then she held on for dear life as the dragon went higher into the air.

HANG ON TIGHT.

Trust me-I won't let go...but I could use the help of a friend of mine, Abby said.

WE MUST GET THERE QUICKLY MY CHILDREN ARE CLOSE TO HATCHING I WON'T LET THIS HAPPEN!

Abby cursed out loud. "Why didn't you mention that earlier!?" She hung on as tightly as she could. "Full speed!"

The dragon began to fly faster. Meanwhile, Abby reached out to her companion.

Luna!

Gosh, Abby, where are you?! Connie thought back.

Sorry, Luna, but this dragon needs my help, Abby answered. Its home was destroyed, and its eggs were taken.

That doesn't give it the right to- Connie started, but Abby wasn't listening anymore. Instead, she tapped into the dragon's thoughts, causing Connie to have a hard time finding her thoughts in the rage of the black dragon.

Damnit! Connie thought, accidentally sending this thought to Col and Rat.

What's going on? Col asked.

You sound angry, Rat added.

She's blocking me out-we need to catch up before she does something stupid, Connie said. Hold on tight!

Col and Rat hung on tighter as Connie began to go faster.

A little while later...

THIS IS THE PLACE.

Abby looked at the building-it didn't look that threatening, but when she reached out, she could sense the eggs inside.

I'M GOING TO BREAK DOWN THE ROOF AND SHOW THEM MY WRATH!

Calm down, Abby said. Give me a chance to talk to them. But don't worry-I'm still going to need your wrath. Just no harming them unless I tell you so. Ok?

FINE, I GUESS.

Abby smiled at the dragon, then jumped off its back, landing on the rooftop. She summoned the universal sword-something that Connie hadn't really taught her about, was it something she had made up? (A/N: I honestly can't remember it that's a thing, so yeah. If it is, then she just used it.) Carefully, Abby cut a hole in the roof, causing the ceiling to cave in, landing in a large room. She heard gasps and a few screams, but she poked her head into the room.

"Hey, can I talk to you guys?" Abby asked.

"I-It's a girl!" someone shouted.

"How'd she do that?!" someone else shouted.

Abby sighed. "Look, if you don't mind, I need to talk to you guys about some eggs that were found recently."

"You mean those giant eggs?" someone new asked.

Abby nodded. "Look, I'd come in, but I don't trust you guys at the moment, so would you mind coming up here? I won't hurt you unless you make me."

The people all exchanged glances, then nodded.

Abby smiled. "Then please come outside-and bring as many people as you can." With that, she poked her head back out of the room, then sat on the roof, waiting.

With Connie, Col, and Rat

Connie let out a roar. There she is!

Connie swooped into a dive, heading down where she saw the dragon and Abby…

...just as a ton of people walked climbed out of a trapdoor in the roof.

Connie stayed up as the three of them watched as the people freaked about seeing the black dragon, which looked really angry.

There is no way that the mythical world is going to go unknown after this, Col mentally said to Connie and Rat, looking at a few people who were taking pictures of the dragon.

Yeah, Connie sighed. I guess that we'll just have to see how this works out. With that decided, Connie flew down to join her companion and the black dragon.

And that's it for this chapter! What did you think?

The next chapter is the last chapter! Thank you for reading all of this.

Until next time!

Lunetheart out.
