The three dragonets ran through all halls of the mountain. Galaxy remembered having to wait the long and painful time of waiting. He didn't know where he was going, but Fennec was leading them through the dark halls. Hibiscus's scales were blended right into the walls of the mountain. The only way Galaxy could tell that she was there by her movements and eyes. The three dragonets were all silent as they ran. Galaxy suddenly heard the muttering of other dragons. Galaxy looked forward and saw light. Galaxy smiled. Maybe they were nearby the exit of the mountain.
"Are we near the exit?" asked Hibiscus quietly.
"It wasn't the exist I was looking for, but it's nearby once we pass by the Dragonet Safe, we'll be closer than ever." Fennec told them.
"What's the Dragonet Safe?" Galaxy asked.
"Where all of the dragonets stay. Don't worry, they're all asleep by now. Well, the ones that usually stay in the mountain usually, but they're all heavy sleepers." Fennec explained to the hybrid dragonet.
"Well, okay then." Hibiscus muttered.
Galaxy looked up and saw a sign. It was dangling from the roof on chains. The wooden sign had the words Dragonet Safe craved into it with what seemed like a lot of force. The craving was all messy and wasn't straight at all. Galaxy looked down from it then at Fennec. Hibiscus's scales suddenly turned indigo and blue with a tint of gold. They were close to leaving the mountain. Fennec then suddenly stopped. Galaxy and Hibiscus both stopped after the SandWing did.
"I hear something." Fennec whispered to them.
"What is it?" asked Hibiscus quietly.
Fennec quietly gasped. "The rest of the dragonets. They're awake."
"What's that sound?" a young voice was suddenly heard.
"I don't know. It probably one of the MudWings. Well, they can't do anything." another voice was also heard.
The voices went on until they got quieter. The three dragonets started to walk slowly. As soon as they stepped out of the light, darkness was all around. Hibiscus's scales quickly changed to match the surroundings around them. Galaxy blended in well, but the green was too bright to go unnoticed when you saw him. All he could do was stay silent and follow Fennec. All of a sudden, Galaxy felt something and heard the two other dragonets shriek loudly. Before Galaxy could ask what was going on, he felt himself go up. Galaxy couldn't see anything. The hybrid dragonet poked out his talon and suddenly noticed where he is. They were in a steel net.
"I heard shrieking! I think our trap went off." the first dragonet voice they ever heard yelled.
"We shouldn't bother with it. It sounded like Fennec." a voice hissed.
"But it sounded like something else. We should check it. Jet should be proud of us if we were able to catch some dragons that aren't appose to be in here. What if a SeaWing or even an IceWing was sneaking in? Maybe a NightWing!" a loud storming voice suggested.
"Fine, we two will check the net." a deep voice that sounded unnatural for a dragonet sighed.
The footsteps of two dragonets were suddenly heard. The three dragonets all gasped quietly. They were all trapped from getting out of the mountain. Galaxy knew there was no way out of this, It was too dark to see anything and he couldn't even see what the steel net looked like. Plus, he didn't know how it was triggered and got them all. Now, they had to wait for two random dragonets to find them in their own steel net. Hibiscus's scales changed from blending in to all white from shock. They all in the net stood out too much, mostly him and Hibiscus. Fennec did stick out, but only her tail was that was sticking out of the net.
"It's Fennec and those two prisoners!" a familiar voice hissed.
Galaxy looked over. Fennec's eyes were wide in fear. Galaxy looked down as he noticed a dragonet holding a torch. It was well lit with the light reflecting on them. Then there was two dragonets standing below the net. It was a MudWing and SkyWing dragonet. The SkyWing held the torch as they both smirked. The suddenly two adult SandWings ran up to the net behind the two dragonets. Galaxy realized that one of them was Fennec's father and the other was the one who stood by Hibiscus when they were tied down. It was Fennec's mother.
"What do you think you're doing with the prisoners?" hissed Fennec's mother.
"Oh, looks like Sandstone and Burrow are here." whispered the MudWing dragonet to the SkyWing dragonet. "I wonder what they'll do to Fennec, when know Sandstone is never around."
"They aren't prisoners to me! They're both my friends!" retorted Fennec with confidence.
"I knew one day you would be a traitor to your own tribe." hissed Burrow as he looked at Fennec with disgust.
"No, this group is a traitor to the tribes." Hibiscus suddenly hissed at Fennec's parents and even the dragonets.
Fennec's mother looked over at the two dragonets. "Get them down."
"Are you going to take Fennec back to the Kingdom of Sand?" the SkyWing asked they gave Sandstone.
"Never, she's a traitor to her tribe and everything that her life was appose to be around. She's not her daughter anymore. We would be ashamed to have her around." Burrow growled as he glared at Fennec.
"Fair enough." the MudWing dragon muttered as they untied the net.
The net was quickly unhooked from a hook that fell down and trapped them. The net fell to the ground as they all fell to the hard ground. Sandstone and Burrow both picked up the net. Galaxy quickly noticed that a spear was hanging on the side of the hall. Galax suddenly had an idea that came to their mind. The hybrid dragonet nudged Hibiscus slightly.
"What is it?" whispered the RainWing.
"Use your animus magic on that spear. You can stab one of the SandWings and then we can get out quickly." Galaxy told the RainWing dragonet quietly.
"But there's too many dragons around." pointed out Hibiscus.
"Just do it." the hybrid dragonet quietly.
Hibiscus quickly nodded and looked over at the spear. The spear suddenly flung off the wall. Sandstone and Burrow looked over. The spear then suddenly flung into Burrow's eye. Sandstone jumped back in shock as she watched as her mate get stabbed in the eye. Burrow fell down to the ground screaming. The three dragonets quickly got out of the net and around away. The SkyWing and MudWing dragonet quickly looked over at them.
"They're getting away!" growled the MudWing.
"Guards! We need backup!" Sandstone yelled as dragons started to appear behind her.
