As we walk back through the front door of our Home Base, I say to Lightning," How you feelin' bud?"
"Much, much better, thanks for asking." Lightning responds.
As we make our way through the main hall, Lightning suddenly stops in his tracks and the elliptical pupils of his eyes contract.
"What's wrong?" I ask him.
"Someone's watching us, and they don't belong here." He responds.
"Ok, so, what's the plan?" I say in thought speak.
"Just act normal." he responds in thought speak before heading down a dark hall.
When Lightning was out of sight, which was almost immediately because of his black scales, I quickly leave to round-up my team.
As I walk down the hall, virtually invisible in the dark, I quickly glance around and find an opening in the wall. I quickly glance around the area to make sure nobody is watching before silently climbing into the opening, wich, as it turned out was an odd tunnel.
The tunnel was roughly rectangular in shape, and made of a slightly rusted metal. As I walk down the dark tunnel, I notice a strange section of the floor; it was rectangular and had multiple slats with empty space between each slat.
(A/N, Can anyone guess what the tunnel is? leave your guesses in the comments.)
As I walk farther, I come to a fork in the tunnel, 'hmph, time to use the old senses!' I think to myself as I pause and concentrate on turning into a Midnight Wrath.
After I change and my senses are enhanced, I carefully stalk through the tunnel, choosing to go right instead of left. I come to a total of eight more forks and deciding which way to go. Before long I hear an echoing voice say, "Hey Proto, I haven't seen that Night Fury for a while, can you see him?"
"Damn it! No, I cant, so keep your eyes open." another voice, who I'm assuming is Proto replied urgently.
Silently, I round a corner in the tunnel and discover two strange Stitchpunks gazing through a large strange section of wall that closely resembled those strange sections of flooring, that as I traveled through the tunnels, provided peaks and glances into, seemingly, every room in the Base.
At the moment, the two Stitchpunks were facing away from me, and I noticed that the section they were in, was in fact, a dead end. Quickly, I duck back around the corner before I 'thought speak' "I've found two strange Stitchpunks, they don't seem to know I'm here...yet." As I wait for Thunder to respond, I quickly check on the intruders.
"Go ahead and capture them, but don't hurt them, I want awnsers." Thunder responds.
"Yes sir!" I respond in mock obedience.
When no reply comes from Thunder I 'send' "Thunder, I was mocking you. You know, a joke."
"Very funny, mister comedian." he sent back.
I then proceed to slowly, carefully sneak up on the two Stitchpunks. When I crept up close behind them, I breath out through my nose, literally, breathing down theyr necks.
"Um, Proto, I think I found the Night Fury." One of them quietly stated to the other.
"Yeah, me too." The other responds quickly.
At this point I let out an earth-shattering roar, that shook the entire tunnel, and, I smugly noted, made the two StitchPunks short circuit and 'faint'.
I decide to take a look out the set of slats that they were looking through and noticed it looked down over the 'Meeting Chamber' as Thunder called it, where Thunder had conveniently rounded up his teammates and their dragons.
"Hey, Rayquaza, can you come up here and help me for a moment?" I send after I had smashed my head against the section of wall and knocking it clean off.
"Uh, yeah sure." he sent back as he flies toward me.
"Okay, I need you to carry one of them for me." I say as he arrives.
"Okay." he replies simply befor carefully picking one of them up in his small, but powerful arms, I chose to carry the other in almost the same though I had to hover before I could pick her up. After I had a secure grip on her we both carefully few down to the others.
"Good job Lightning." Thunder says proudly to me. In response, I nod my head nonchalantly before turning back into a Night-Fury.
