Year of the Ogre

A/N Thanks for the reviews. Here's some more.

Lai was angry as he went back to his lair in the mountains of Duloc. His plan to get the Spirit Dragon of Inner Courage to help him had failed and it made him angry as his magic emitted in fury. He then saw somebody in the cave. It was a human but had the King of Far, Far Away's emerald eyes and gasped in delight.

"So the Spirit Dragon of Belonging is in front of me!

This is perfect!" he thought in glee. The girl had fair skin, long brown hair, the same shade as Artie's, slender and wore a pair of goggles on her head.

A Chinese Dragon marking was on her neck which made the evil sorceror happy.

Suddenly the girl's eyes opened.

Apparently she'd ran away from her kingdom and royal father after her new found Spirit Dragon powers had caused some problems.

"H-Hey there I'm sorry if I trepassed on your cave!

I-I just needed a place to sleep for the night!" she said scared but Lai smiled warmly but was faking it.

"Why're you so nervous and why're you out here alone?

Don't your parents know you're out here?" he asked her.

She looked away at those questions.

"I-I ran away, okay?

My father won't care where I am because I'm a freak who nearly destroyed the kingdom with powers and it has something to do with the mark on my neck!" the girl answered angrily.

Lai smiled sensing the girl's rage.

"I can help you but you must help me first.

I'm Lai." the soceror told her.

"I'm Marina but can you really make me normal again so that my Dad won't be afraid of me along with the other people in my kingdom?" she asked him.

He nodded.

"I will try but first you must help me and serve me, becoming my vessel and help me get rid of a certain clan." he told as dark magic engulfed her and changed her into a Dark Spirit Dragon. Her Chinese Dragon chi was now filled with darkness and evil. Lai could see the girl changing as the magic engulfed her.

Marina had now changed into somebody with messed up long black hair, eyes full of coldness, slender and wore black robes.

She felt stronger than before.

"Let's do this!" she growled as Lai cackled......

At the swamp both Shrek and Anu trmebled in meditation.

"What's wrong?" Nami asked worried.

"Lai..... has one of us in his poessesion, the Spirit Dragon of Belonging and made her a Dark Spirit Dragon and now she is filled with evil." Anu answered but Shrek was worried.

In meditation, he saw the identies of the Spirit Dragons all over the world, ogre and human but knew that Lai would try to convert them to darkness and make the mhelp him take over.

"We have to find them before Lai does.

He already made Artie's daughter his slave and who knows who else if we don't hurry?" he told them.

Anu agreed.

"We won't be able to free her but if we can get the other Spirit Dragons to our side, we might have a chance." he replied as he saw an image of a young human in Worchester Academy, the Spirit Dragon of Dreams.

"Let's go!" Anu said as Shrek and Nami agreed.

"We've got to come too!

We can help!" Snowgre said but Shrek stopped him but Anu sensed something.

"Wait Shrek...... there's something in him, a Spirit Dragon." Nami replied.

Shrek's hazel eyes went wide at that while Snowgre smiled.

"Only...... it mightn't unleash itself yet until you're ready.

I think you should stay here Snowgre because Lai doesn't know about it yet so you'll be safe.

When yours unleashes itself in you, you may join us." Anu said as they left.......
