Chapter 16: Ending the Enterprise
(Emily)
This drive was very quiet. River was driving the car and Kyle was messing with his earth element creating spikes in his hand. I was looking out the window at the scenery.
Richard Earlsman was the leading benefactor in biomechanics. Which also was a bad thing. Since he was so high up in the world his death was going to be noticed. And we were going to be in trouble.
He was the person that started this whole thing. He was the reason we had to leave Sierra. HE was the reason that we were in a war to begin with. He sent goons to attack River and Kyle.
The list of what he has done to our knowledge was very long. The worst part was he had some of our own family try and kill us. I couldn't forgive this man. Even if getting rid of him ment getting on the governments hit list.
We still had the dragon realms incase we became he public enemy number 1. And I also knew that after this we had to leave to the dragon realms. Which this would bring back River's smile.
We drove all night into the next day just to bring down this rat. He hadn't seen Sierra in 2 days. And I knew that he missed her very much. But to me he loved her more then a sister.
I just never bothered to ask. only reason being is because I liked someone myself and never told him. Which is Ironic since I am sitting next to him in the back seat of River's car.
But the quiet did leave as River broke the silence. "Their it is. Richardson Enterprise." River said. Me and Kyle looked ahead. Finally we were going to finish this creep off.
As we drove up to the gate me quickly unbuckled. We had a few weapons hidden in our sleeves for this. It felt like we were committing a crime but We knew what it was really for.
I slowed my breathing and when we came with in range of the main gate we all jumped out. We watched as the car smashed threw the gate and slammed into he side of the building.
I watched as the guy that River and Kyle described from their fight came out ready. "I hope you two know that if I live threw this. Your getting a tail thrashing." I said. "No argument." River said.
(Richard)
Watching from my camera I watched as my security was breached and my company infiltrated. These kids were skilled indeed. I might just keep them instead of giving them to Mathias.
It wasn't often the a successful invasion was pulled of in my company. Not even trained mercenaries could get in. But here as I just watched the cameras these kids climbed one floor after the next.
These were rare jewels in the golden pile. I got up from my seat and went to the other room to talk to my little pet. He was about to have new friends after all. "Hello Steam good to see you again." I said.
"You come asking me to stop this well don't get your hopes up." He said. It truly hurt to see that he was being uncooperative. "I was just coming to see how you liked the look of your new siblings. Once I catch them I will wipe their minds and keep them in their dragon forms having them think you related." I said.
After all having my own little Dragon force was going to be the prize of my collection. Had Mathias brought me that black Dragon when I asked he would've gotten what he wanted.
But now that I see these kids I was very excited. I was going to finally have what I wanted. It seemed so wrong but I will have to erase every thing of their past as well. Which ment a lot of blood and paper work.
"Sir they have gotten to the 47th floor. They will be here soon." A guard said. This was a little surprise. I thought they would have been caught by now. "Raise the guards I want these kids alive. You here me." I said. "Yes sir." He said walking off.
I just looked at my screen and smiled. I may need to think of and escape plan after all.
(River)
I couldn't tell you how I felt. I was killing people just to stop a war in another world that could possibly end both our worlds. I was never the type if person to actually kill another. But I didn't really have a choice in this matter.
I looked back every now and again and almost cried every time. These people had families to. They had loved ones that would never see them again because of us. I didn't like it but I knew it had to be done.
I was angry with this guy. He was the reason I was killing people in the first place. When we caught him I would be sure to get as much as I could out of him. Then i would let Kyle or Emily do the deed.
We walked up to the 50th and final floor. "River. This is it. He is sure to be here." Emily said. I just nodded. We had come up 49 floors to take this guys Richards out for what he has done.
We opened the door to meet little guard. The other floors were a mess with them as this one wasn't. We walked with weapons in hand. Kyle was holding Daggers like his sister used when she tried to kill him. I was using a sabor from my car. And Emily was using her electricity element.
We had kept the crystals around our necks to keep us energized. We knew once they came off we would be out for a while. We then entered a dark room. As we crept in I could here breathing.
"You shouldn't have come." A voice said. We looked and saw a dragon strapped to the table. I quickly ran and undid the straps on his legs. "You shouldn't have come." He said again. Then the lights came on and we were surrounded.
"Well now we know where the guards went." Kyle said. I nodded. We had fallen for the bait and now we were stuck. "I must applaud you for ever getting this far. No one has ever breached my company before." A figured said.
A man walked out wearing a blue suit and red tie. "But then again I never had Dragons attack me before." He said. Thats when I figured who he was. "You Richard then I take it. I said with a growl.
"Very well you figured me out. I must say you 3 will make a fine addition to my little collection." He said. I was angered beyond the point of no return. I threw a dagger from my pocket at him but he just grabbed it before it reached his face.
"I guess that means diplomacy is gone. Such a pity I was hoping you would come voluntarily." He said. "Remember I want them alive" He said walking out. "Guys I think it is time." I said.
They nodded. We then dropped our weapons and concentrated. We changed into our dragon forms right in front of his guards. Now to be honest I didn't remember much. All I knew was when it was over I had Richard pinned to the floor.
"You just had to make this hard didn't you." I said. I could see the fear in his eyes. "Come now I am sure we can come to an agreement." He said. "An agreement. You have nearly killed us several times today and a few times yesterday." I said. I put my tail spade to his throat.
"Who is really behind this and do be truthful because I don't want to have to resort to violent methods." I said. he looked like he was about to leak himself. "Mathias runs this. He is the one you want. I just supply him with weapons and bodies." He said.
"Why is Mathias in the Dragon realms and what is he looking for." I said or more like demanded. "He wants to control both worlds. He thinks he can rule them both if he rules with might." He said.
"Then why attack the other world." I said. He was looking very terrified. "River calm down your getting a darker shade of red." Emily said. But I was past calm. My brother was being used as a pawn and I needed to know why.
"Mathias thinks that since the creatures in that world lack tactical skill and technology he can take it over quickly. After eliminating every single one of the inhabitant dragons he plans to take over.
It was then I thought back to Sierra. She was in trouble and it was this guys fault because He supplied the materials needed. "River?" I heard Emily say scared. But it was to late.
I hadn't noticed at the time but My red scales had turned very dark. "You have threatened my friends and family and for that your path had been chosen." I said with out knowledge.
then with a fast swing my tail was sticking into his chest. "This was your fault." I said. Then when his body dropped I felt a little calmer then I noticed what I had done. "River I don't know what just happened but I think we have seen you when your rage has been held to long." Kyle said laughing.
We went to Steam and then brought him outside. With is wear a doorway opened up and Ignitus walked out. "I see I have made it in time Young Dragons. It is time you came back. We need your help." He said. I nodded and so did the others.
We had finished our side. Now it is time to finish the fight with Mathias. We walked threw and every thing went white.
(Winter)
It was the worst choice I ever made. I had decided to go out and get some air then I was attacked. I was running threw the forest in desperation. No one would know I had left until morning.
I held River's Necklace close to my chest. "Oh. River. I need you guys now more then ever. Please come back. I said. I was scratched all over and my back left leg was limping. I could tell the bone was broken a little.
I made it to a lake and stopped. 4 humans came out behind me. "Let's make this quick Rachel I want to get back before morning." A man said. They came after me.
But before they could reach me their was a light and then I screamed thinking I had died. But when I opened them I saw a sight that filled my eyes with tears of joy.
"I think you should leave my sister alone now." River said. They backed away and Rachel came forward and drew her daggers out. "I have some payback for you. You little dragon brat." She said. But another guy told her something.
she put her weapons away. "Your lucky this night young boy. Next time I will get you for stopping me from killing my brothers capture." She said. They all turned and walked out.
River turned to me and smiled. "Hey um I am back." He said. I could barley contain myself. I didn't actually. "RIVER!" I screamed as I jumped on him hugging him crying.
