After we helped the girl evacuate and stop flights, she told us her name. It was Kelly. She asked us where we were staying and I said nowhere. And, would you believe it, she said that nowhere sounds like a good place to live. But she was joking, and she asked if we wanted to come and stay at her house. Sara was the first to respond with a yes. So we set off, following Kelly to her home.
When we came to the front gate I knew this was not an ordinary house. One, it was a big, three story building, and two, it had a business's sign on it. The sign said Fast Acting Response Team, or FART for short. Noah stole the words off my tongue: "What the heck? What human in their right mind would call their company FART?" Kelly just giggled. And we went in, much to Noah's disgust.
Kelly's mom was nice, and she explained that her father ran the emergency crew "FART" and he was helping other people with all the destruction that Angus was causing. He had already wreaked Maui, another Hawaiian island, and now he was here, on the main island. Soon, if he wasn't stopped, he would move on to the rest of the world, destroying everything. Kelly explained all this herself with such power that we all believed that Angus would prevail. Everyone but Noah, for he just wanted to get out there and start beating him up. But it was getting late and Kelly's mom let us stay in the "guest floor", which was the top floor on the building. We got an entire floor to ourselves! We took the circular escalator on the right, the one going up, and lay down in our beds immediately.
I had another weird dream this night. It had the same voice from the original dream that got me into this mess. It said, "You are doing good, Dragon Hero. Keep it up and you will succeed against the terrible threat of Angus." then an image of a guy in his mid thirties who had a jet black goatee and jet black hair popped into my mind. He was grinning with an absolutely evil essence. And the voice spoke again: "Now you believe me, huh? Anyways, you must fight Angus as a human unless you must transform to finish him off. He will only become a dragon in battle if he has to. Farewell, Dragon Hero, and good luck!"
I woke with the image of Angus burned into my skull and he words of the mysterious voice stuck like a tape recording in my brain. Sara was using the fairly fancy bathroom, and Noah was using the training equipment in the corner of the floor to do multiple lightning fast chin-ups and other exercises. I realized that the thing speaking in my dream had called me Dragon Hero. I liked that name. It was more heroic than Zach. I could imagine going right up to Angus and saying "I, Zach, will destroy you!" No way I was doing that. Right then I decided to go by The Dragon Hero for all of my adventures, and by Zach as my undercover identity. Now I feel like a comic book hero. But it feels good to have a good, heroic name like Dragon Hero. Thank you mysterious voice!
When I had told Sara and Noah about my dream, Kelly came up and got us for breakfast. That was the first part of the plan: to eat and lay low for a while. I had a new mission now. And I was determined to finish with success. Say your prayers, Angus, 'cause The Dragon Hero is out to get you!
