Finally got this done :D enjoy.
"Where are we going?" Dakota panted. Luna was holding Zane's hand as they ran. "Who are you?"
"Snike. Shush, we are almost there." Snike whispered.
"Why are you helping us?" Kai glared at Snike.
"Because Drakel is planning on killing me. And I can't stand him." Zane started panting, his face still pale. "You okay Zane?"
"Just. Feeling. Dizzy." He gasped. Snike looked concerned for a moment.
"We're here." Snike opened a cabin door and motioned the ninja inside. "I guess I should explain why I am helping you. I overheard Drakel telling Violet that he will make Zane his second in command and get rid of me. Whenever he 'gets rid of someone,' it means he kills them." He took a shaky breath. "I can't stand watching him harm people. It's just not in my nature to be evil, I'm only a teen." Everyone looked confused. "What?"
"You look older than that." Snike rolled his eyes at Lloyd.
"I'm part dragon. Any way h-"
"Part dragon?" Leo asked. "You look human."
"This isn't my true form. This is." White and purple wings sprouted from Snike's back. He grew a white tail with blue spikes, dragon ears, and two teeth sharpened into fangs. "I am a Light Dragon, but Drakel doesn't know that, he's a Dark Dragon." His ears twitched and he widened his dark eyes. "ITS A WARRIOR! HIDE!" Snike pushed the ninja into the shadows and hid.
"SNIKE! ARE YOU THERE?!" Silence. "WE ARE COMING IN! WE KNOW YOU ARE A TRAITOR!" The door burst open and a warrior walked in, searching the shadows. Snike walked into the light, keeping the warrior's attention off the ninja.
"They aren't here. They are long gone, you will never find them now." The warrior growled and flipped open a knife.
!" He plunged the knife into Snike's chest and swept out of the cabin. Snike opened his mouth and collapsed on the ground.
"No." Luna whimpered and dug her nails into Zane's arm. Dakota checked Snike's pulse, a faint glow in his eyes.
"I-I h-helped you after all." Snike said. "I-I alway w-wanted to help. D-Dakota, I kn-know who your father is. H-His name is Drake Pingle." Dakota gasped, his body transparent. A sun appeared in his hand and he put in on Snike's stab wound.
"Dakota, you found your true potential." Zane whispered.
Snike's POV
I don't regret betraying Drakel. I have only one regret...that I never got to see my child. I hope she forgives me for leaving her in the Great Dragon's care. I only did that to protect her from the Overlord. I am dimly aware of Zane saying something. All I can feel is searing pain in my chest. 'Why would John do this? I took him under my wing and gave him love when no one else did.' I felt my heart break in two. 'I lost everything, my wife, my child, my queen. All because of Drakel. And now, I can't tell Mariah that I am sorry I left her alone. I felt a tear run down my cheek as I realized I wouldn't get to see Mariah grow up. This was it. This is the end of my journey. No more mornings waking up. No more dreams of returning to my family. I am going to die, and nothing can stop it. 'I'm sorry, my beautiful Mariah. I should have stayed with you.' That was my last thought, ever.
T_T I just have something in my eyes...tears. I wanted something emotional and BAM Snike has a family. Mariah is Snike's daughter, if you couldn't tell. I had tears as I was writing this, so review your thoughts and stay tuned.
