I AM BURNT! I AM BURNT. BY A FRICKING BROWNIE. TWICE! WHHHHYYYYYY.

Brownies for a friends birthday,

And Cake for my mum's,

Cookies 'cos I promised them,

What is wrong with me?

All of this is true. Yada yada yadoo.


berahcubecars: I've now got conflicting reviews about this being a Valduggery! I've put up a poll to see what most people think- I don't mind either way so I want the majority vote. Sorry if it does become one- but it wouldn't be fast anyway so it'd just be Valduggery friendship a lot.

Tanithsaurus Rex: Never heard that expression before! Thanks :3 I don't mind- your dragon! And she sound adorable. Definately one of my favourites! I've finished the tests now! Now I have to be hyper enough to actually post chapters! ;)

Toolazytologin/LionsandTrolls: I know you're in there. You can do it! You can log in! Lol :3 But no, you haven't reviewed this one yet ;) Headache: bad. And now you've given me one. -_- Eyesight: I know what you mean. But don't ever stop FFnet! We love you here! You got two of them. You got the two not really well known ones. You missed out I will Survive. How?! That's just amazing! ;p But you get cookies for two right! (::) COOKIES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE MY POISONED BATCH! At least they aren't the killer brownies -_-

DeadGirl19: ? never. ? NO! NO FARMYARDDEADGIRL19, YOU STAY WITH YOUR DEXTER! YOU STAY! Squishy wants Anton as well and you already have Dexter. You have them both in lots of your chapters... How do you cope?! ;) Not for long? Seems like a threat :0 AND YOOOU WITH YOOOUUURRRSSS! Yay! Someone else has asked for this not to be a Valduggery. I made a poll! A Polly poll poll. Vote! I was hoping that you would not have to murder anyone ;) No no, I'm sure you are a genius really ;) ALLITERATION MONSTER IS COMING TO TOWN! WHOOO! She sounds epic! I don't even know anymore. Have a cookie instead! (::)

MehScrewIt: YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT PUFF?! GO LOOK HIM UP! GO LOOK HIM UP, MEH! YouTube;Puff The Magic Dragon. Get addicted to Puff! It's so annoying. So I put in in here as working! Yay! ¡Hola, Tuck! Nice dragon! I think that's it as well. Thank yooouuu :3 Have a cookie. (::)

mysteryHuntress: NEWBIE ON DRAGON! HAVE A COOKIE! (::) HAVE ANOTHER COOKIE! (::) Lol :3 It's weird. It is most definately weird. I'm an random person. My name has Insanity and freedom in it. It basically says freed insanity. It means my Insanity is free to do whatever it wants on this site. Beware the madness ;) but thank you!

Squishy: random question- are you squishy? In real life? Are you a Squishy person? If you don't want to, don't answer that. I'm quite mad at the moment. More so than usual. Anton? But DeadGirl19 gets Dexter, and you get... To be Squishy? So I should get Anton! ?


Look! It didn't take me as long to update as last time! ^.^


We thank Lightening Sparks for her dragons this chapter.


"Skulduggery," Val moaned. "Skulduggery. Skulduggery, I'm booorrrreeeedddd. I'm bored, Skul. Skul. Skul. Skully. I'm so boorrreedd. Sku-"

"Stop!" Skulduggery shouted. "Please stop. Please." Valkyrie smirked. "Five minutes ago you said that it didn't annoy you. Are you retracting that statement?" Skulduggery glared at her as well as he could.

"Five minutes ago you were ten minutes into annoying me. No, I am not retracting that statement. As you know, retracting a statement is a form of retreating. And I do not retreat. We do not retreat. We advance in reverse, my dear Valkyrie." Valkyrie rolled her eyes.

"I think that dragon's going to try and eat us," she commented, pointing at a giant, bright yellow dragon that was running towards them. Skulduggery looked in the same direction and tilted his head. "I do believe you're right. Now might be a good place for a tactical advance-in-reverse." Blinking slowly, Val decided to nod.

"You may be correct. Would you like to fly or run?" Skulduggery held out his arms. Grinning, Valkyrie let him wrap them round her as they flew into the air. Sure, she adored her epic new light-power thing, but flying was awesome. And now only Skulduggery had mastered the skill and was able to use it, she thought, glaring. Stupid skeleton.

"Oh no," Skulduggery commented. "It appears that there is a dragon in front of us as well." Valkyrie had been staring at the massive yellow dragon with her chin resting on Skulduggery's shoulder, but now she twisted to see in front of them.

A small dragon was frantically beating its wings so it would stay flying while its pink and orange body writhed through the air. It was a wyvern-type dragon. It looked like a flying caterpillar. Valkyrie idly wondered if it would morph into a butterfly-dragon at some point. Maybe then its wings would be big enough!

Back to the point- unless Skulduggery turned to the side they would just fly into one of the dragons.

It was probably a bad thing that Skulduggery was feeling lazy. He kept flying towards the caterpillar dragon. "Skulduggery," Val yawned, resting her chin on his shoulder again and tapping his back tiredly. "Is this a plan?" She felt Skulduggery nod.

"It's all a plan. If we keep flying the dragon will get scared and fall out of our path." Valkyrie nodded.

"Nice plan." You're falling asleep. Darquesse said. Valkyrie smiled at her. Then Darquesse yelled at Val. WHY ARE YOU FALLING ASLEEP WHEN YOU COULD BE ABOUT TO DIE?! Pouting, Valkyrie ignored Val. Are you pouting? You're pouting, aren't you! Darquesse laughed. Valkyrie started sulking and dozed off.

"So what you mean in that Valkyrie, whom I just helped through the tunnels to this pit, has gone certifiably insane because she killed a load of people even though she couldn't help it as her inhuman True Self- which Skulduggery once called her mood swing or her as its mood swing- went loopy. And once she managed to stop it everyone but Skulduggery thought that she would leave because everyone avoided her. But instead she came down here to do... What exactly?"

The Dead Men, the siblings, the sword lady, and now even Fletcher, had been nodding along till that point. That was when they stopped and looked confused.

"Well..." Tanith started. "She had been going in about Gordon-not-Gordon and wanting to get him." Fletcher nodded excitedly.

"She kept asking if I'd ever been near a giant crack- likw this one!- in these caverns!" The Dead Men grinned. Saracen, now recovered from his 'ordeal' spoke up after sharing a glance with Dexter.

"And Skulduggery mentioned Val being infatuated with a 'giant fire breathing lizard flapping its beastly wings at us after I, having been unconscious because of a vile tentacle monster, was deeply tired but had to muster my incredible strength to leave my hat-' R.I.P. Penelope-" Bowing their heads, the Dead Men touched their fingers to their brows. "'And fly us out of there, because Valkyrie, being utterly useless, was screaming in my ear about how I needed to wake up or we'd die. And then she... Fangirled about the dragon!' So we're guessing it's a dragon they've found," he affirmed, seeing the slight nods from his team mates as he silently asked their opinions. The Dead Men still worked as well as ever. Even though Skulduggery was their usual spokes person- when he had been dead Saracen had taken over anyway!

Myosotis nodded. "So while this has been happening I was forgotten?" Bliss looked at her. The Dead Men avoided eye contact. China and Tanith finally agreed on one thing. "Myosotis," China said.

"Sorry, Mayo," Tanith smiled gently.

"We had no idea you existed." They finished. Then China and Tanith- Chinith!- looked at each other. China raised one regal brow whilst Tanith cocked a hip and arched an eyebrow. "Damn. That can never happen again." China nodded. "Never."


Yes. I have just realised that Val now has light-power and is an elemental and I've probably put her having Necromancy somewhere. She has to be able to fly so... I don't know. She has both? Or should I edit this chapter later?


Also- VISIT MY POLL ON THIS FIC! I don't know what to do. And doing- no, DeadGirl19, not doing- it would be easier than going 'and they've said this, one! And they've said that, boom! But they said this Oo' and eventually forgetting. So... Give Polly some looove!


Instead of a Second Dragon, give me some of a plot! Because otherwise I'll have serious writers block for half the story. I've got the next... chapter maybe? planned (sort of) but after that the bunnies have stopped populating. Give them some love! Lol ;3
