Back at the home base, Thunder was practicing with his new energy sword, when the clock tower, one of the few buildings left standing, struck four o-clock.
Thunder quickly left and headed towards the ruins. When he gets there he waits for five minutes. "Where are you?" he mumbles to himself.
Just then he hears a metallic roar, one that means triumph. Then he hears a draconic groan of defeat.
Thunder then decides to 'spring into action', so he quickly scales a nearby pile of rubble and carefully peers over. The machines head was the skull of a cat with one red optic and the other was replaced by a light bulb, most likely for 'hunting' in the dark. The back of its body was covered in blades; its legs were strong and sturdy looking and ended in a 'paw' of sorts with three long, razor sharp claws. It was known as the Cat Beast.
When he sees the black dragon, he knows it's Lightning. "I'm coming to help you." Thunder 'says' to Lightning.
"Please, hurry…." Lightning weakly says.
Right then and there Thunder springs over the pile to aid his friend.
When I land on the other side of the ruble-pile I shout "Hey! Over
here ya' stupid robot!" that's when I activate my energy sword. The Cat Beast and I quickly start circling each other, and out of the corner of my eye I notice Lightning quickly crawl into the shadows, my attention is brought back to the fight when the Cat Beast lunges for me with its razor sharp claws out stretched; I barley manage to dodge the attack when my instincts kick in, and I parry the blow by slashing at its foreleg, cutting it halfway off and earning a pained screech from the cat beast, which turned and quickly limped away.
After the Cat Beast is gone, Lightning comes up to me and says "Thanks for saving me."
"No problem, it's the least I could do." I respond.
After a few seconds of silence I ask him, "Why did you save me that first time?"
"Now that you mention it, I don't know. I just got a feeling that you and I are meant to do something great together." he answers.
"H-how would you like to go back to our home-base?" I ask him.
"Our home-base?" he asks.
"Oh yeah, I live with my family, Sage, Hydro, Blaze, Ty, Boulder, and Steel, and their dragons Rayquaza, Hydrodegon, Charzard, Zekrom, Silver Blade, and Dialga." I inform him.
"Are there fire worms?" he asks.
"Yeah." I answer.
"Then, sure, why not." he says.
Meanwhile, back at the home base Boulder runs up to Blaze, Hydro, and Ty, "have any of you guys seen Steel?" he asks them.
"She left; I thought she was going for a walk." Hydro replies.
"Oh man! When I told her about Thunders encounter with the dragon and the energy sword she got really, really upset!" Boulder says nearly in hysteria.
At this point Thunder strides in and says "hey guys, I have someone I want you to meet, Lightning, come on in!"
