Before we start, I want to let you know that Raya may travel with everyone, but that's just because they have Pokemon. Other than that, she doesn't trust them.
And to answer you question Gloskha51, maybe. It's all based on what I feel like to be honest. Now Chapter 2.
Chapter 2
Stone Tail
Stone Tail
We last left everyone, with Tuk Tuk rolling through the wasteland, with Raya on his saddle, and the others in the wagon attached to Tuk Tuk. As Tuk Tuk rolled, Raya noticed some people ahead of them. This made Raya reach for her sword. "Raya wait." Kai said to Raya. That's when they noticed it was a family that was taken by the Druun. This made them all sad, as they rolled past them.
Soon they reached the top of a hill, where they could see a small steam. "Looks like we found it." Drake said to everyone, as Raya pulled out the map. Raya then X out the last river end. "Please let this be it." Raya said, before Tuk Tuk got distracted by a little roadnet. "Whoa what are you doing, you big fur bug? Hey, buddy, focus." Raya said to Tuk Tuk, as Tuk Tuk started to move around, causing the cart to be pulled and become shaky.
"Need any help?" Ezran asked Raya. "No, I got this." Raya said to Ezran. "Eyes forward, Tuk Tuk." Raya said to Tuk Tuk, as she got Tuk Tuk to focus. "Good boy." Raya said to Tuk Tuk. "He's so easily distracted." Raya said to everyone.
Then a black smoke with a purple light popped out in front of Raya and Tuk Tuk, screeching. This made Raya yell, and Tuk Tuk to fall over, throwing Raya off his back and rolling down the hill a little. This caused the cart to fall over, and made everyone fall out of the cart and roll down to the bottom of the hill with Tuk Tuk.
At the bottom, everyone noticed Raya trying to get a bag that was right in front of the smoke thing. Allen and Drake were the first to react. "Thunderbolt/ Flamethrower." Allen and Drake said, as Drake fired a bolt of electricity at the smoke thing, and Allen fired a steam of fire at the smoke thing.
The two attacks hit and caused the smoke thing to scream in pain, and was stunted for a little bit. This gave Raya a chance to reach her bag, and pulled out her gem piece that caused the smoke thing to run away in fear. Once it was gone, Raya started to pant. Then everyone noticed Tuk Tuk was on his back, and his saddle, crat, and supplies were scattered at the bottom of the hill.
"So what was that thing?" Ezran asked Raya, as she moved to do everyone. "That was a Druun." Raya said to everyone. "So those are the monsters that turn people to stone? But how, they're just smoke?" Callum asked Raya. "They have to pass through you. If it even gets your hand, it can pull you in and turn you into stone." Raya said to everyone. "And here I thought Dark Magic was the worst." Rayla said to everyone. "Dark what?" Raya asked Rayla. "Never mind." Rayla said to Raya.
A minute later, everyone was trying to get Tuk Tuk off his back. "How can he be this heavy?" Kali asked everyone, as they finally flipped Tuk Tuk back onto his feet. "You're getting a little too big for this, bud." Raya said to Tuk Tuk. Then everyone started to gather everything, and get everything back onto Tuk Tuk, with Drake looking at the cart.
"How's the cart?" Allen asked Drake. "It's okay, but it's cracked a little." Drake said to everyone. "Well I guess it can't be helped." Allen said to Drake, before they all got into the cart, and started to move. But they forgot to pick up a small gold hair ring.
A minute later they follow the river to a ruined ship that's been here for a while. "Six years of searching and we end at a literal shipwreck." Raya said to everyone, as they got out of the cart, and out off Tuk Tuk's back. "That's not a bad sign, is it?" Raya asked everyone. "Do you want us to answer honestly?" Allen asked Raya. "No, not really." Raya said to Allen, as they walked to the ruined ship.
They then entered the ship, and followed the little water flow to a stone wall, leaving Tuk Tuk outside the ship. "Well I guess this is it." Kali said to everyone. "Take off your shoes." Raya said to everyone, as she took off her hers. Everyone wondered what she was asking at first, but then they noticed Raya getting on her knees, laying down some fabric, lit some candles, and prepared some offerings.
That's when everyone released what she was doing, and took off their shoes and got on their knees, with Drake and Allen still having their staff in their hands and pointing them up. Then Raya pulled out a small metal chime, of a dragon head, with a gem in the middle of the it's mouth, and a serpent dragon wrapped around it.
"Sisudatu… Regidrago… Um… I don't know if you two are listening. I've searched every river to find you two, and now I'm here at the very last one. Look there's not a lot of us left, and we really… We really need your help. If I can be honest, I really need your help. I made a mistake. I trusted someone I shouldn't have, and… now the world's broken. Sisudatu… Regidrago… I just really, really, want my Ba back. Please." Raya said before crying a little.
"Hey, we're here for you." Ezran said to Raya with a smile. Then Raya noticed everyone smiling at her in a supportive way. "Now dry those tears, and let's do this." Kali said to Raya. "Right." Raya said to everyone, as she whipped her tears, and placed the chime on the cup on the fabric.
"Okay…" Raya said, pulling out a jar of water. "Here goes everything." Raya said to everyone. "Suvaa de draa sim." Raya chanted, and poured the water in the cup. "Mandra de draa lim. Bavaa de draa Tomben." Everyone chanted, as everyone followed Raya's lead, and as Raya dropped a water drop into the cup, making an echo.
Then Allen and Drake's staff started to glow purple and balls of water started to flow out of the river. Then Tuk Tuk started to make some noise. That's when everyone, but Raya noticed the water. "Uh, Raya." Callum said, getting Raya's attention. Then purple energy came out of Allen and Drake's staff and the water. Then the water gathered and formed into a large water bubble, and the purple energy started to gather and turned into a crystal.
Then a burst of fog came out of the water ball and crystal. That's when everyone stood up, and saw two figures in the fog. "Oh, my… where are we?" A female voice asked. "I don't know." A male voice said. "Pengu? Ambda? Pranee? Are you here?" The Female voice asked. "Regirock? Regice? Registeel? Are you guys here too?" The male voice asked. That's when Raya figured out who they were.
"Oh, Mighty Sisu and Regidrago." Raya said to the figures, closing her eyes, and holding her hand up, forming a circle with her fingers. "Who said that?" The female voice asked, before a tail came flying at everyone, and everyone but Raya ducked. The tail whipped Raya, knocking her down.
"Hello?" The female voice asked. "Uh, over here. And you can please be careful. You hit our friend." Rayla said to the figures. That's when the fog cleared, and everyone got a good look at the figures.
One was a long blue spindly serpent dragon, with a darker shade of blue on her back, and a lighter shade on her stomach, arms, and face. The dragon has short dorsal fins on her back and possesses white-bluish-violet hair as a mane and a small tuft of her at the end of her tail. The dragon had big purple eyes, two dark blue horns on its head and sharp teeth.
And the other one was a giant violet red orb, with two stomps for legs with rough black stomps on the end of it, on each of its sides where the upper and lower part of the dragon's head, the orb had lines that made it look like a dragon's mouth, and seven dots in front that looked like a Y with a dot in the middle of the V part of the Y.
"I see your tail is still as clumsy as ever Sisu." The orb said to the dragon, with the male voice. "You know you didn't have to say that Regidrago." Sisu said to the orb, with the female voice. "Here let me help you up." Sisu said to Raya, picking up Raya. "Not too bad. Just a little dusty. Let me get that for ya." Sisu saud to Raya, as she held Raya upside down, by Raya's right leg, and brushed off the dust.
"Sisu? You are Sisu and that orb is Regidrago?" Raya asked them. "And you're people, and you have some Pokemon. What's everyone's name?" Sisu asked everyone. "Raya. I'm Raya." Raya said to Sisu. "I'm Allen and this Serperior." Allen said to Sisu. "I'm Drake and this is Samurott." Drake said to Sisu. "I'm Rayla and this is Gliscor." Rayla said to Sisu. "I'm Kali and this is Lurantis." Kai said to Sisu. "I'm Callum and this is Yanmega." Callum said to Sisu. "And I'm Ezran and this is Lycanroc and Bait." Ezran said to Sisu, with Zym hiding behind Ezran.
"And none of you are not made of stone, which means…" Sisu saud. "It worked." Sisu, Regidrago, and Raya said at the same time. "We did it! You hear that, Pengu? Registeel? It worked! We didn't mess it up!" Sisu said, moving around the place, with Raya in her hands.
"Is that food?" Sisu asked, as she noticed Raya's bag, and put Raya down. "I was so focused on saving the world, I forgot to have breakfast today." Sisu said to everyone, as she opened the bag. "Well the battle was the first thing we did today."
"Today? When exactly do you think today is?" Raya asked Sisu and Regidrago. "Tuesday." Sisu said, before eating some jerky. But she didn't like it. "I mean… Mmm. What is this delightful culinary treat?" Sisu asked, trying to act like it's good. "It's jackfruit jerky. I dried it myself." Raya said to Sisu.
"Well, compliments to the chef." Sisu said to Raya, forcefully laughing. "Wanna finish this, Skippy?" Sisu asked Tuk Tuk. "Is it really that bad?" Allen asked, as everyone but Raya moved to Sisu, and took some jerky. They then eat some of the jerky, and spit it out a second later. "Sorry Raya, but those jerkies are terrible." Allen said to Raya.
That's when Sisu noticed Zym. "Ah. Who's this cutie?" Sisu asked, as and moved her face to Zym, making Zym nervous. "This is Zym. He's nervous around new people." Ezran said to Sisu. "Awh, but look at him. He's so cute. But I haven't seen a dragon like him before." Sisu said to everyone, picking up Zym, and nuzzling him.
"I won't do that." Ezran said to Sisu. "Why?" Sisu asked Ezran, before Zym panicked and let out the same electricity, giving Sisu a zap, and making her let go of him. "Because he's a storm dragon, not a water dragon, and has electricity inside him." Kali said to Sisu, as Zym flew down to everyone.
"Well that hurt a little." Sisu said. Zym then whimpered a little, saying he was sorry. "Yeah, it's okay. I know you didn't mean to. I was the one getting into your space. I just couldn't resist a little cutie like you." Sisu said to Zym, moving closer to Zym. This made Zym blush a little. "Aw look at this little guy." Sisu said, shushing Zym's cheeks. "Sisu, do we need to talk about keeping your hands to yourself? Again?" Regidrago asked Sisu. "No." Sisu said, removing her hands from Zym.
"Uh. Sisu, Regidrago, there are a few things I need to catch you up on." Raya said to Sisu. "Oh, yeah?" Sisu asked Raya. "What is it?" Regidrago asked Raya. Then Raya explained what happened 500 years ago and what happened six years ago.
"YOU BROKE IT?" Sisu and Regidrgo yelled, making Tuk Tuk roll over onto his back outside. "Oh, oh. Oh, my. This is bad. This is bad. We've been asleep for 500 years, you brought back the Druun, and none of our brothers and sisters came back. Why didn't they come back?" Sisu asked everyone.
"We don't know." Everyone said to Sisu. "Then why do you have Pokemon?" Regidrago asked everyone. "Yeah we're from another world." Allen said to Regidrago. "Pokemon travel across space with humans. If that's true. Things have changed a lot in 500 years. Back in my day, we Pokemon mainly hung out with Dragons, and not humans that much. Even on my birth planet, we mainly stayed away with humans." Regidrago said to everyone.
"Back on topic. You broke the gem!" Sisu said to everyone. "But I still have a big chunk of it, though." Raya said to Sisu, holding up her gem piece. "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Sisu said, moving her head close to Raya. "If you lost a puppy, and I said… "Well, we still have a big chunk of it!" Would that make you feel better?" Sisu asked Raya, with a mocking tune when she was talking about a big chunk.
"Thank you for that mental image." Drake said to Sisu, rubbing his eyes. "Can't you and Regidrago just make another one?" Raya asked Sisu. "No, we can't just make another one." Sisu said to Raya. "Yeah, we can't do that." Regidrago said to Raya. "But you're a dragon and a Regi." Raya said to Sisu and Regidrago.
"I'm gonna be real with you all, all right? I'm not, like, the best dragon, ya know?" Sisu said to everyone. "And I'm not the best Regi either." Regidrago said to everyone. "But you two saved the world." Raya said to them, holding up the scroll. "Care to explain why?" Allen asked Sisu and Regidrago.
"We did do that. That's true. But have you ever done something like a group project, but there's like that one or two kids who didn't pitch in as much, but still ended up with the same grade? Yeah, We weren't the ones who actually made the gem. We just turned it in." Sisu said to everyone, as she sat down, and picked up the gem piece.
Then the gem piece glowed, and Sisu then started to glow a bright light blue color, surprising everyone. "Whoa. Uh… You're glowing." Raya said to Sisu. "Oh, thank you. I use aloe and river slime to maintain my…" Sisu said to Raya, but Raya interrupted her. "No, no. Look!" Raya said to Sisu. "Yeah, you're glowing like Bait." Ezran said to Sisu, holding up Bait, and Bait glowing a little for a couple seconds.
That's when Sisu noticed she was glowing. "Oh! This is my little sister Amba's magic. I got the glow!" Sisu said to everyone. "Your little sister's magic?" Raya asked Sisu. "Care to explain?" Rayla asked Sisu. "Sure, every dragon has a unique magic." Sisu said to Rayla. "Okay, what's yours?" Raya asked Sisu.
"I'm a really strong swimmer." Sisu said to Raya. "Is that really magic or just skill?" Allen asked Sisu. "It's magic, trust me. I've seen her swim, it's crazy." Regidrago said to Allen. Then Raya had an idea. "Wait, wait, wait, you touched this gem piece. And it gave you powers. You know what this means, right?" Raya asked Sisu. "I no longer need a night light?" Sisu asked Raya.
"What? No! You're still connected to the gem's magic, and that means you can still use it to save the world. If we can get all the other gem pieces…" Raya said to Sisu. "We/ You two can reassemble it.. And boom the Druun away!" Raya and Sisu said to each other at the same time.
"And bring my Ba back?" Raya asked Sisu. "And bring all of Kumandra back." Sisu said to Raya. "Regidrago do you think this will work?" Raya asked Regidrago. Regidago looked at the gem piece in Sisu's hands for a bit. "Well it has a shard of my energy in it. And if the other pieces have shards of my brother's elements in it. Then there's a good chance this will work." Regidrago said to everyone.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go find those gem pieces." Callum said to everyone. "Yeah, road trip." Sisu said to everyone, as they moved to Tuk Tuk, and left the ship.
Meanwhile, a group of people in white leather armor was riding giant mean looking dark gray fur cats through the wasteland, and past the gold hair ring. And after passing it, one of the riders ran back to it, and got off the cat, and picked up the gold hair band.
This relieved a young southeast Asian woman, who was of average height, with a slender and slightly muscular build, tan skin, short black hair with a side shave cut, with her hair covering the right side of her head, dark brown eyes, wearing a long pierced earring on her left ear, a beige tank top, a gold belt with a crimson sash, baggy pants, dark boots, gold arm bracelet on both of her biceps, and two find sharp blades on her hips.
The woman realized this gold hair ring was Raya's, and walked to the top of the hill, where the Druun surprise attacked them earlier. That's when she noticed the wretched ship, with the rest of her rider moving to her.
"Princess Namaari, The Stone Tail lands are infested with Druun. Benja's daughter is as good as stone out here. Retrieving some useless dragon scroll isn't worth the risk." A big muscular man said to the girl, with a mocking tune. This made the girl force the man to the ground like it was nothing. "Anyone else wanna question why we're out here?" Namaari asked everyone, with an intimidating aura. This made everyone, even the cats back away a little.
Namaari then got back on her cat, and they all ride to the wreck ship. But when they got there, the gang was already on the move, and a couple miles away from the wretched ship.
"Okay, so here's the sitch. After the gem broke, each piece was taken by one of the chiefs of the five lands, Steel Fang, Dragon Heart, Ice Spine, Electric Talon, And Stone Tail, where we are now." Raya said to everyone, as they rolled up to a cave near a cliff. "So if you have a piece. Does that make you a chief?" Ezran asked Raya. "Kind of. Why do you ask?" Raya asked Ezran. "Because our boy Ezran here is our king back home." Drake said to everyone, as they all dismounted and got out of the cart. "So he's a king?" Raya asked everyone. "Yes." The gang said to Raya.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I have so many questions. First one, why am I wearing this?" Sisu asked everyone, as she wore a giant straw hat and a giant red cloak. "Well, we don't want to attract attention." Raya said to Sisu, as she put her hat on Tuk Tuk's saddle.
"Oh, you definitely chose that right hat for that." Sisu said to Raya, tapping her hat to Raya. But what are you going to do with the Pokemon? I don't have enough cloaks and hats for everyone." Raya said to everyone. "We have something better." Drake said to everyone. "Return." Everyone said, as they returned their Pokemon to their Pokeballs.
"What did you do?" Regidrago asked everyone. "These are Pokeballs. We used them to transport Pokemon back home. But these are only going to last us a couple days." Allen said to Regidrago. "Well that will be the best way to hide Regidrago. Do you have an empty one?" Raya asked Allen. "Yes." Allen said to Raya, holding up the empty Pokeball.
"Hey wait. I didn't agree to…" Regidrago said, but was interrupted by Allen throwing the Pokeball and catching Regidrago. The wooden Pokeball then moved onto Sisu's hip. "Is he okay in there?" Sisu asked everyone. "He's fine. Probably." Allen said to Sisu, whispering that last part. "Zym you have to go in the bag." Ezran said, making everyone look to see Zym not wanting to get into his bag.
"Zym, you need to hide. You have to get into the bag." Ezran said to Zym. but Zym chirped no to Ezan. "Zym, we don't have time to argue about this." Ezran said to Zym. Zym still chirped no.
"Don't worry Zym. you won't be in that bag for long. And if you behave in the bag, I'll show you some cool water moves I got." Sisu said to Zym. Zym chirped with worry. "Hey it will be okay." Sisu said to Zym. This made Zym relax and go into the bag. "Thanks Sisu. Zym doesn't like the bag that much." Ezran said to Sisu, putting the back on his back. "No problem." Sisu said to Ezran.
"So, what makes you think the Stone Tail chief's here?" Sisu asked Raya, as she moved backward into the cave, hitting a string, and pulling out a stone. This caused a stone pillar to fall on Sisu. Lucky Raya, Allen, and Drake pushed Sisu out of the way of the pillar. "Because this place didn't just bobby-trap itself." Raya said to everyone, as they noticed all the trip pillar traps ahead of them.
"This doesn't make sense. None of this would stop a Druun." Sisu said to everyone, as she got up and moved through the traps with some fancy footwork. Then Sisu went and moved like she was in the water, getting threw the trap in a second, impressing everyone.
"What? Why are you all looking at me like that?" Sisu asked everyone, noticing them looking at her. "Nothing. I'm just not used to seeing dragons. Even with Zym around." Raya said to Sisu, with an excited voice. "And it was very cool." Ezran said Sisu.
"Impressed, huh? Wait until you see my backstroke. I'm wicked when I hit that liquid. I got water skills that kill. I slaughter when I hit that water." Sisu said to everyone, before noticing everyone giving her an odd look. "I'm, like, really good at swimming, through rhyme. I was trying to make that… that I'm really good at swim… I'm a good swimmer, is basically what I'm…" Sisu said, trying to save the mood.
"We get it, Sisu." Allen yelled to Sisu from the other side of the trap. "I can't tell who's worse, Sisu or Callum." Drake said to the gang, making everyone but Callum giggle a little. "Come on everyone." Sisu said to the gang. "One second." Allen said to Sisu. "Kali, can I borrow the Sunforge Dagger?" Allen asked Kali. "Sure." Kali said to Allen, pulling out her Sunforge Dagger.
Allen then took her Sunforge Dagger, and started to slash through the traps ropes, like they were vines, not making the pillars fall down. "There. That takes care of that." Allen said to everyone.
"What is that?" Sisu and Raya asked Allen, as the others moved to them. "It's a Sunforge Dagger from our world. It's basically a really hot blade, with magic keeping it locked in that state of forging, and it has a very sharp edge." Allen said to Sisu and Raya, as he gave it back to Kali, and she put it away.
"Okay then why did you cut all those ropes?" Raya asked Allen. "A thing my parents taught me and my brother. When dealing with traps, if you can, make sure you turn them off or disable them after you pass. It makes it easier for you when you have to run away." Allen said to everyone. "Okay, um, we need to keep going." Raya said to everyone, as they all started to move.
As everyone moved through the place, Sisu quickly gasped. "Oh, no!" Sisu said, making Raya, Rayla, Allen, and Drake get into a fighting stance, with their weapons out, and everyone but Sisu reach for their Pokeball. "What? What is it?" Raya asked Sisu. "We forgot to bring a gift for the Stone Tail chief." Sisu said to everyone, making everyone calm down, and give her a "seriously" look.
"I'm sorry. A gift?" Raya asked Sisu, as everyone put their weapons away, and moved their hands away from their Pokeballs. "Yeah. A gift says, you can trust me, can I trust you?" Sisu said to everyone. "Sisu, this chief went through a lot of trouble to keep the gem piece for him or herself. I don't think trust or a gift will make her give it up." Drake said to Sisu, as a large green beetle flew onto Sisu's nose.
"Aw. Hey there, little fella." Sisu said, as she took the beetle of her nose, and held it in her hands. That's when everyone noticed it's glowing three green rings on its butt. Sisu laughed at this. "This beetle's got a booty." Sisu said to everyone, making Raya nevious. "Uh… Careful. It's a Toot N Boom." Raya said to everyone. "A what? Never heard of that?" Ezran asked Raya.
"Yeah, why is it called a…" Sisu asked Raya, but the beetle interrupted her by tooting. That's when Raya pulled Sisu down, as a small green cloud appeared in Sisu's face. Then the green cloud made a small explosion. "Got it. Noted. Makes sense." Sisu said to everyone, before chuckling sheepishly. "At least it was only one." Callum said to everyone, as Allen looked down the hallway. "Uh, guys." Allen said, as ever noticed the walls of the hallway were completely full of Toot N Boom.
"Uh oh." Callum said to everyone. "Just don't touch them, and we'll be fine." Raya said to everyone. "Easy for you to say. you don't have this giant hat." Sisu said to Raya, as they started to walk down the hallway, with Sisu holding her head close to the sides of her head. "You have to admit though, these bug booties are kind of cute." Sisu said to everyone. "Sisu focus, and don't touch them. Please." Kali said to Sisu.
After getting out of the hallway, they found themselves in an open area, the path leading to a broken bridge. And in the middle of the area was a tree, and in that tree was a skeleton, wearing worn out orange fabric, and its hands, was a dragon gem piece.
"I'd say we found the Stone Tail chief." Raya said to everyone, as everyone but Sisu and Raya was uneasy at the sight of a skeleton. "What happened to her?" Sisu asked everyone. "From the looks of it, she was hoarding the gem and became a victim of her own traps." Raya said, before everyone noticed large wood spikes below them. "Well, you gotta admire her commitment." Sisu said to everyone.
"There's a difference between commitment and crazy. And something tells me that she was crazy." Allen said to Sisu, as Raya fired her sword into the ceiling. "I can only take one person. So Sisu, hold on. The rest of you stay here." Raya said to everyone, as Sisu grabbed Raya. But when Raya jumped, Sisu didn't and Raya stopped half way, because Sisu still had her back feet on the ground.
"Oh, we were doing a jumpy thing! So sorry. My bad." Sisu said to Raya, with Ray worried her sword was going to pop out of the ceiling, and they both fell into the spikes. "I get it now. I'm with it." Sisu said, as she finally jumped, and they made it to the other side.
But the jump did make Sisu's hat cover Raya. "I'll take the girls. You take the boys and Bait?" Allen asked Drake. "You got it." Drake said, as he used his staff to fly Callum, Ezran, and Bait, to Sisu and Raya. and Allen used his staff to fly Kali and Rayla to Sisu and Raya.
That's when Raya took off the hat, and noticed everyone with her. "How did you all get over here?" Raya asked everyone. "Me and my brother can fly a little, but it's not safe carrying a lot of people for more than a few seconds. It threw off our balance." Allen said to Raya, helping Raya up.
Then Sisu moved to the skeleton and tried to take the dragon gem peace, which had a gray stone in it. "Sisu… don't." Raya said to Sisu. "What, why not? That's the thing we came here to get?" Ezran asked Raya, as Raya broke a stick. Raya then moved the tree, and then stuck the stick into the skeleton's arms. That's when everyone noticed that the skeleton's arm had a trap on it. And they noticed the string flowing from the trap up to the ceiling, then back to the entrance, where they say a trap that will keep them trapped in here.
"Okay. It's official. This woman was insane. I mean, she had the gem piece. But then what? Slowly die while looking at it." Drake said to everyone. "Very smart, you hoarder." Drake said to the skeleton, tapping its skull. This caused the skull to fall off, and roll. This freaked everyone out a little, as it went over the edge, fell to the ground, and made a sound like broken pottery as it hit the ground.
"Can you all please not touch anything?!" Raya asked everyone, getting on edge. Everyone raised their hands, showing that they weren't. Raya then took a breath, and slowly took the dragon gem piece. Once she did, the stick held up, and the trap didn't spring.
This made Raya exhale in relief. "Two down, three to go." Raya said to everyone, handing the piece to Sisu. This made it glow. Then Sisu shrunk, and the cloak warped around her. When the cloak fell to the floor, everyone saw Sisu in a human form.
Sisu's new form was of a young southeastern asian woman, with long messy white-bluish-violet hair, she still had her eyes and teeth. She was wearing a blue, long-sleeved robe with a design pattern on it and a white furry collar, the sleeves longer than her arms, she was wearing gray-colored jeans that stop below the knees with her Pokeball on her hip, and soft blue shoes that reveal her ankles.
Everyone looked at Sisu with a curious look. Zym more than others, as he poked his head out of the bag. "I just shapechanged! Into people!" Sisu said, looking at her human form. "Dragons can do that?" Raya asked Sisu. "This was my sister Pranee's thing." Sisu said to everyone. "Well then your sister Pranee had a unique magic. As far as I know. There's no magic in our world that can turn you into a human." Kali said to Sisu.
"Look at my people arms and my people face. Look how close my butt is to my head." Sisu said to everyone. "It would be more believable that you're human, if you don't talk like Callum." Drake said to Sisu, making everyone in the gang, but Callum, giggle a little.
"Now that you don't have to hide me or Regidrago, getting the rest of the gems is gonna be a breeze." Sisu said to everyone. "In that case." Rayla said, taking Sisu's cloak, and using her blade to cut it down a little. When Rayla was done, it was now a red overcoat that went just past the back of her knees, with no sleeves, and she put it on herself.
"That feels much better." Rayla said to everyone. "I hate to ruin the mode. But this Gem piece was easy, but the rest of them are being held but the rest of them are being held by a bunch of no-good binturis." Raya said to everyone.
"Binturi?" A female voice asked. That's when everyone noticed Namaari and her riders coming in from the top of the cave. "That's not a very nice way to describe an old friend." Namaari said to Raya, as she and her riders jumped down, blocking the way out. While they moved, Drake pushed Zym's head back into the bag.
"Namaari." Raya said to Namaari, with a very angry voice. "What's drippin', dep la? Oh, I see you've finally made some new friends. And here I was worried you were gonna end up becoming a cat lady like me." Namaari said to Raya, noticing everyone, getting off her cat, and petting it. Then her cat roared at everyone.
"Something tells me you're not besties." Sisu said to Raya. "What gave you that idea?" Allen asked Sisu, with a "you think" tune in his voice. "Stealing Dragon Gem pieces are we? Why?" Namaari asked Raya. 'What can I say? Bling is my thing." Raya said, flipping her hair back a little.
"Hmm. I gotta admit, Raya, until a few months ago, I thought you were stone. But then, someone stole Steel Fang's dragon scroll." Namaari said to Raya. "Oh, is that why you're chasing me? And here I thought it was because you missed me." Raya said to Namaari, tossing her the scroll. Namaari caught it, and opened the scroll.
"Are you all really looking for Sisu and Regidrago?" Namaari asked, before laughing a little. What are you all, 12? Well maybe one of you." Namaari said to everyone, looking at Ezran. "I'm 10. And we did find Sisu and Regidrago." Ezran said to Namaari, pointing to Sisu. This made Namaari look at Sisu, with a "really" look. "Say hi, Sisu." Raya said to Sisu. "Hi! It's very nice to meet you, and I love your hair and your cats' hair. I would show you Regidrago, but I don't know how to let him out." Sisu said to Namaari
"Take them." Namaari said to her rider. "Wait. we haven't introduced ourselves." Drake said to Namaari, as he picked up Bait. "That's Allen, Ezran, Callum, Rayla, and Kali." Drake said to Namaari, pointing to everyone. While doing that, the gang released what Drake was thinking. "Sisu, Raya, get ready to turn your head." Allen whispered to Sisu and Raya. "I'm Drake, and this is Bait. Say high Bait." Drake said to Namaari, holding up Bait.
Bait then let out a blinding light, making Namaari and her riders cover their eyes. The gang looked away before the flash. Then the flash died down, and while the gang's eyes were okay, Namaari and her rider's were rubbing their eyes. That's when Raya used her sword to pull the stick out of the skeleton, spring the trap. This trap was a large amount of sand being poured on Namaari on her riders, knocking them off their feet.
Then Raya whipped her blade to the exit, grabbed Sisu, and swung across the gap. Then Drake and Allen flew everyone across the gap. "Run!" Raya said to everyone, as Kali, Ezran, Rayla and Callum, ran through the exit, but then Raya, Drake, and Allen noticed Sisu running on all fours, which is how a dragon runs, not how a human runs.
"Not like that! Two legs!" Raya said to Sisu, as she helped Sisu run like a human, meanwhile Drake and Allen used their staff on a few riders and their cats that dug themselves out of the sand, like it was a game of whack a mole.
"Right! Guys come on." Sisu said to Allen and Drake, as she and Raya, made it through the exit, which was almost buried by sand. "Right being you." Allen said, as he and Drake made it through the exit right before the sand covered it.
Then Raya, Sisu, Allen and Drake stood in front of the hallway with the Toot N Booms, making them all worried. And on the other side of the hallway, was Ezran, Callum, Rayla, and Kali. "Guys hurry up." Kali said to everyone, as she and the others ran ahead.
That's when Namaari and her cat dug themselves out of the sand. "Go! Go! Go!" Drake said, as they went into the hallway, with Sisu first, Drake second, Allen third, and Raya last. And while running, Raya, messed with the Toot N Booms, making them fire a furry of small colorful explosions, right as Namaari entered the hallway.
Meanwhile outside, Tuk Tuk saw everyone running to him. "Drake help me." Allen said to Drake, as he grabbed a few ropes, as the others made it out. "Got it." Drake said, as he grabbed some robes. They both pulled the ropes and ran, causing the pillars to fall, blocking the halfway. "That won't stall them for long." Drake said to Allen, as Raya and Sisu got onto Tuk Tuk, and everyone else got into Tuk Tuk's cart.
"Guys come on!" Callum said to Allen and Drake. Allen and Drake ran and jumped into the cart. "Tuk Tuk! Roll!" Raya said to Tuk Tuk. Tuk Tuk then rolled up and started to move. But he rolled right off the cliff. "Whoa!" Everyone, but Raya, said as they hung on for dear life.
Then Tuk Tuk hit the bottom, and while Tuk Tuk was fine, the cart shattered into pieces tossing everyone up into the air a little. Lucky Rayla, Allen, and Drake, were able to keep a wood board under their feet, and one of their hands on the rope that attacked the cart to Tuk Tuk.
Rayla had Callum hugging her tightly, and both of her hands holding onto the robe in the middle of Tuk Tuk. Allen was holding Kali like a princess, and used his staff to wrap the rope on the left side of Tuk Tuk around his free right hand. As Drake had Ezran, Bait, and Zym, who was still in the bag, held onto his back, with his left hand holding onto the rope on the right side of Tuk Tuk, and used his staff to wrap it around his right hand.
As Tuk Tul rolled, Rayla, Allen, and Drake tried really hard to not fall. "Can you guys slow it down? This isn't as easy as it looks." Rayla asked Raya.
Then Namaari and her riders came after them, riding their cats. "Here! They come!" Drake said to everyone. "On second thought. Go faster!" Rayla said to Raya.
Then everyone noticed Tuk Tuk Rolling to a hole in the canyon wall that was only big enough for him, and a small top that would knock Raya and Sisu off Tuk Tuk. "Jump!" Raya said to Sisu, as she made Sisu jump over top of the wall, and the rest of the gang just slid and got closer together, and went through the hill.
"Who was that girl?" Sisu asked Raya. "That's Namaari. She's the backstabbing binturi that broke the world." Raya said to everyone. "And here I thought she was your girlfriend." Ezran said to Raya. "Why would you think that?!" Raya asked Ezran. "That bantering, my aunt Amaya said that's how my mom and dad used to act before and after they got married." Ezran said to Raya.
"Can't we talk about this later! They're right on our tails!" Allen said, as everyone noticed Namaari and her riders not that far behind them. Then Raya noticed the path was over, and made a sharp turn. But now they had nowhere to go, only a wall on one side, and a drop into a river on the other side.
"Wow, those cats are really fast, huh?" Sisu asked everyone. "We have to lose them." Callum said to everyone. "And how do you propose we do that?" Allen asked Callum, as Raya noticed a boat on the river, and had an idea. "Hey everyone, what do cats and Druun have in common?" Raya asked everyone. "Um… They have no souls?" Sisu asked Raya. "And they both hate water. Hold on!" Raya said to everyone, as she turned Tuk Tuk, making Tuk Tuk roll over the edge.
"WAIT, WAIT, WWWWAAAAIIIITTTT!" Rayla screamed as they all went over the edge. While in the air, Tuk Tuk unrolled and was having no trouble swimming. The gang let go of each other and the rope, and started to swim. Well everyone but Rayla, who climbed onto Tuk Tuk's saddle with Raya and Sisu, like a cat in water.
"What's up with you?" Sisu asked Rayla. "I hate the water." Rayla said to Sisu. "So you don't have a soul either?" Sisu asked Rayla. Rayla said nothing, but gave Sisu a very mean look, a look that said, "Shut up or else". This made Sisu laugh sheepishly. "Hehe hehe, sorry." Sisu said to Rayla. "Just keep swimming!" Allen said, as they swam to the ship.
From the path, Namaari and her riders stopped at the edge, and when she saw where they were headed, she made her riders move to it the long way to the ship.
With the gang, they climbed into the ship. "Hello? Is anybody here?" Raya asked, as everyone got onto the ship and walked around a big table that was in the middle of the ship. That's when the tables chairs were kicked into everyone's knees making them sit down. Then in a flash, someone gave them all drinks, and Tuk Tuk big bowl of food.
That's when they noticed a young asian boy, with wild mess brown hair, brown eyes, wearing tan shorts, with large brown straps that attach to the middle of his shorts and go over his shoulders, he had sandals on, and had a gold arm band on his upper left arm.
"Welcome to the world-famous Shrimp-orium. My name is Boun. I'll be your server today. Would you like to hear our daily specials?" The boy asked everyone, pulling out a notepad and pencil. "Yes, please!" Sisu said, raising her hand. "Why did you have to ask?" Kali asked Sisu, lowering Sisu's hand. "We got shrimp, we got congee. We got a shrimp congee that won't quit." Boun said to Sisu.
"Anything else but shrimp and congee?" Rayla asked Boun. "No sorry." Boun said to Rayla, making Rayla feel sick. "The captain, where is the captain?" Raya asked Boun. "Let me go get him." Boun said to Raya, as he turned around, and stepped onto the back of the ship.
"What's up, my new customers? I'm Captain Boun, the owner, chef, and chief financial officer of this Shrimp-orium." Boun said to everyone, acting cool. "And I thought the blind captain Villads was the strangest Captain I'll see in my life." Kali said to everyone.
That's when everyone but Boun noticed Namaari and her riders coming. "How can I help you?" Boun asked everyone. "Well, I'm Sisu and…" Sisu said to Boun, but Allen interrupted her. "Now's not the time for an introduction." Allen said to Sisu. "He's right. We need to get to Electric Talon now." Raya said to Boun.
"I'm sorry. The Shrimp-orium is not a water taxi." Boun said to Raya. Raya then pulled out a lot of jade coins. "Toi, that's a lot of jade!" Boun said, reaching for the coins, but Raya pulled the coins back. "Half now, half when we arrive in Electric Talon. Deal?" Raya asked Boun.
Boun took half of the coins. "Clasp onto your congee. Today's special is to go." Boun said, putting the coins in a bag. Boun then took Tuk Tuk's food, threw some dice in the sink, and grabbed a stick. Boun used this stick to make the boat move. But the boat was hardly moving. "Uh, Captain Boun? Does this thing go any faster?" Raya asked Boun.
That's when Boun and everyone noticed Namaari on the dock, and closing in on them. "Whoa! You didn't tell me Steel Fang was after you! This is gonna cost you extra!" Boun said to everyone. "Do you want those extra coins now or after Steel Fang catches us?" Kali sarcastically asked Boun. "Don't worry. I got it." Sisu said, as she jumped into the water. "What is she doing?" Boun asked, before everyone realized what she was thinking, and Raya covered Boun's eyes.
Sisu turned into her dragon form, and grabbed the bottom of the boat. Then she started to wiggle her tail, and in an instance, the ship was moving at high speed. Causing Tuk Tuk, who was trying to get the food, to fall on his back, everyone to fall to the back of the boat, and making Rayla very scared and very sick at the same time.
"What is happening?" Boun asked everyone. "Our friend's a really strong swimmer." Raya said to Boun. "Now I see what she meant by this being her magic." Callum said to everyone.
As they left, Raya looked at the dock where Namaari was, and gave her a cocky smile. "Bye-bye, binturi." Raya said to Namaari, waving goodbye.
Namaari watched them leave, with their cats growling at the ship. "Princess Namaari, if they're after gem pieces, their next stop would be Electric Talon." A female rider said to Namaari. "We're not following them to Electric Talon. We're going back to Steel Fang. I need to speak with Chief Virana." Namaari said to the female rider, before leading her riders to Steel Fang.
