Chapter 9:

Flying through the skies of the world where the Grand Dragons took the young hybrids was Avis, the Grand Dragon of Air.

"There's nothing like a good afternoon flight.", Avis said as he flew through the air in his twenty foot form.

"Wait up, Pop!"

Avis looked behind him to see his adopted Micheal, who was one of the six Human-Dragon Hybrid that he took and raised as his own. The little five-year-old hybrid, who was dressed in a red tank-top and shorts, was doing his best to catch up with the one he called father.

"Well, look at you.", Avis said with a grin. "Trying to keep up with me are you?"

"I would if you didn't fly so fast!", Micheal said as he flew next to Avis' head.

"But I must say that you're doing pretty good for one so small.", Avis said. "I take it you're ready for your lessons."

"Okay.", Micheal said as he flew through the air.

"Alright then.", Avis said. "But first, tell me what you know about air."

"Air is all around us.", Micheal said. "We breath it in to live. It can be a gentle breeze to cool us off. And we air dragons can use it to defend ourselves."

"That's right.", Avis said. "Now what ways can the air become dangerous."

"When tornadoes and hurricanes strike they can a lot of damage to the land.", Micheal explained.

"And how do we air dragons use the wind?", Avis questioned.

"We air dragons can blow powerful winds that can be used to blow stuff away.", Micheal said. "And we can use cold air to freeze water or anything wet."

"Correct!", Avis said. "You've learned well, Micheal. Remember these lessons well. For they'll come in handy throughout your life."

"Okay.", Micheal said.

"Ah! Here come Oona and Yaros.", Avis said as two young violet air dragons came flying towards them.

The male dragon, named Yaros, had a dark violet color to him, with his blue eyes and long black hair, while the female dragon, named Oona, had a lighter violet color to her, with her green eyes and long blond hair. Both were a bit older than Micheal and took to him as if he were their own little brother.

"Hello Yaros.", Avis said as they flew up next to him and Micheal. "Hello Oona."

"Hello, Avis.", they both said.

"Hey guys!", Micheal said to his adoptive brother and sister.

"Hey, Micheal!", Oona said.

"Hey, spuirt!", Yaros said.

"What have you two been doing?", Avis asked Oona and Yaros.

"Practicing our diving.", Oona said.

"We've gotten pretty good!", Yaros said. "Wanna see?"

"Show me what you've got!", Avis said.

"Here we go!", Yaros said as he and Oona began their dive.

Avis and Micheal watched as Oona and Yaros did their dives. Avis was impressed at how well they did their dives and pull up just before hitting the water. Micheal was so excited by what he saw, that he wanted to try it!

"I wanna try that!", Micheal said as he began to do a dive from high in the air.

"Micheal, no!", Avis said as Micheal dived down towards the water.

Avis wasted no time diving after Micheal, knowing what was going to happen to him if he didn't get to him in time. As Micheal was doing his dive, he could feel the air pressure get to him, seeing as he wasn't diving the right way and it was his first time. Soon he blacked-out and began to fall into a tumble.

"Have to hurry!", Avis said as he got closer to Micheal.

Micheal was a few feet from the ocean before Avis caught him and pulled up in time.

"That was a close one.", Avis said as he flew higher into the air.

Oona and Yaros soon flew up next to Avis. Both were worried about their little brother.

"Is he okay?", Oona questioned in a worried voice.

"I hope so.", Avis said as he held little Micheal in his right claw. "Wake up, Micheal! Wake up, kid!"

"Wake up, little guy!", Yaros said hoping he was okay.

Avis gentely poked Micheal with his left claw, hoping he would wake up. Suddenly, Micheal began to stir a little as his little brown eyes opened slowly.

"Thank goodness.", Oona said as she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wha... What happened?", Micheal questioned as he looked up at Avis.

"You tried to do a dive and blacked-out.", Avis explained.

"I did?", Micheal questioned as he moved some of his long black hair out of his face.

"Yeah.", Yaros said. "You gave us a scare there."

"I'm just glad you're safe.", Oona said.

"Listen, Micheal.", Avis said. "Right now, you're not ready to do dives from this height. "You will be one day. But not today. Understand?"

"Yes, sir.", Micheal said.

"But for now, we'll work on your loops.", Avis said smiling.

"All right!", Micheal said as he took to the air.

Avis let out a laugh as he watched his adopted son do loops in the air. Avis always had a playful spirit every since he could fly. He was pretty impressed when Micheal learned to fly so quickly.

'He'll be doing dives in no time.', Avis thought to himself as he watched Micheal do some loops and spins with Yaros and Oona.

"But I think I'll take thiongs nice and slow with him.", Avis said as she flew towards the three young dragons.

So for the rest of the day, the four of them enjoyed themselves as they flew through the air doing stunts, which was Avis' way of teaching Micheal, Oona, and Yaros the ways of flight. Meanwhile, on the world of Metamoor, the Guardians along with Matt, Mr. Huggles, or Khor in his Regent form, were doing some training near the palace. Well, training the best they could anyway.

"Ow!", Hay Lin whined as she landed on her rear after Caleb sweeped kicked her.

It was decided that they would do some training without being transformed. This included Matt as well.

"Why do we have to train like this?", Hay Lin complained as she stood up while rubbing her butt.

"Because!", Will grunted as she jumped out of the way of one of Khor's punches. "This way we'll have a feel of what we might be up against if Angelo and the others do come after us."

"You saw how big they were getting before those dragons took them to their world.", Taranee said as she dodged Sandpit as he swung his tail that was part of the Human-Dragon Hybrid form he took based off of what Elyon showed him. "They're gong to be bigger and way stronger then we are."

"Not to mention faster and can fly.", Matt said as he duck down from one of Sandpit's sand blast attacks. "We have to be ready for anything."

"Part of me wishes we never said yes to taking their powers away.", Cornelia said as she side-stepped out of the way of one of Khor's kicks.

"Well, you're the one who said that Nerissa could have some kind of hold over the others and they might not know it.", Irma said as she blocked one of Caleb's punches.

"At least my reason made sense!", Cornelia countered. "According to you, we have enough super powered friends!"

"And wasn't you who said that we didn't need the competition?", Irma questioned making everybody stop their training.

"And wasn't you who agreed with me!", Cornelia replied as the two Guardians were eyeing each other with glares.

"Oh boy.", Will groaned hoping a fight wouldn't break out.

"Stop it you two!", Hay Lin yelled as she stood between the two of them. "Now isn't the time for fighting! What's done is done! You can't change the past! The best we can do is hope that we don't have to fight our friends!"

"Hay Lin's right.", Caleb said. "We have to be ready for whatever may come our way."

"And to do that, we have to work together.", Taranee said. "As a team and as friends. So, apologize so we can go take a break."

Cornelia and Irma looked at each other with narrowed eyes before mumbling an "I'm sorry" to each other.

"I'm, sorry.", Matt said with a grin. "What was that?"

"I'm sorry!", Irma and Cornelia shouted making sure everyone heard them.

"That's better.", Will said. "Now I say we take that break Taranee mentioned."

"I just hope that a battle with our friends doesn't happen.", Matt said as they all sat under a tree to relax.

"You and me both, Matt.", Will said hoping for the best. "You and me both."

As they were relaxing, on Earth, it was night on the world where the young hybrids were being raised. Avis, Micheal, Oona, and Yaros were in their cave home, turning in for the evening. Well, Micheal, Oona, and Yaros were already asleep. Avis looked down at them as they three of them were sleeping together.

'They tired themselves out today.', Avis thought to himself. 'You're a piece of work, Micheal. I know it's going to hurt Oona and Yaros when you have to leave us. But it's for the best. For you have a lot to learn before your memories are returned to you."

Avis then let out a yawn as he got into his sleeping position.

"But for now, I'll make sure you enjoy you time here.", Avis said before going to sleep himself. "Sleep well, my boy. Sleep well."

A/N: Well, that was a day in the life of Micheal and Avis. Besides Micheal failed dive attempt, things are going pretty well for him. And for the Guardians, they're doing some trainign to prepare for a possible battle with their friends. Will they or won't they have to fight? Who knows? Up next is a day in the life of Angelo and Terferma, the Grand Dragon of Earth.

Please review.
