Frina closed her eyes, concentrated hard, and then opened them. She had activated Dragon's Eye, the vision of a dragon. Dragon's Eyes could see danger farther ahead. She had never activated Dragon's Eye before, though she tried. Frina landed in front of the door. She heard guards shifting their blasters to aim at her. Eli gently tapped her shoulder.
"What about the guards?" he asked.
"Leave them be," she replied. Eli and Trixie slid off. Kord and Pronto appeared soon after them, but the guards were still focusing on the dragon. Frina heard one guard load a Ghoul and fire. Instinctively, she shielded Eli and Trixie with her wings, her back facing the guards. The Ghoul bounced harmlessly off her hard silver scales. The other guards lowered their weapons, knowing they couldn't fight a dragon. Frina turned human, and the guards loaded their weapons.
"Don't go in there," one guard warned. "I swear I'll shoot you, Frina." Frina recognized the voice.
"You work for Blakk now?" she said. The guard nodded. "Why?"
"Because why wouldn't I?"
"Because Blakk is evil and a traitor."
"Traitor, yes, but only for the greater good. Evil, how could he be?" the guard replied. Frina smelled the air. There was a strong, sweet smell that could only be identified as son thorn.
"Blakk deceived you, Suron," Frina said. "Son thorn."
"So?" Suron said. "I'll still shoot you." Frina turned around to face Suron.
"Then do it," she taunted. Suron loaded a Ghoul and took aim. Eli, Trixie , Kord, and Pronto all tensed, but Frina was perfectly relaxed. Suron put his finger on the trigger, threatening to pull it on more than one occasion. He lowered his weapon.
"Don't go in there," Suron warned again.
"And who will stop me?" Frina started opening the door. It swung wide open, but she stood there, seeing if what Suron said was true. The guards all fired their blasters. Frina grabbed Eli and Trixie and swiftly pulled them into the building. Kord and Pronto followed. They were in a huge, empty hallway. Frina lead them down it, still using Dragon's Eye to locate her parents. She led them down a staircase to the prisons. All the cells were filled.
"Who was that?" Eli asked.
"Suron, another Denekk," Frina explained. They walked down the hallway lined with prison cells until finally, they stopped.
"Frina!" her mother and father cried. Frina examined the size of the hallway. It was too small for her to turn into a dragon. She examined the lock. She snorted softly in amusement about how easy it would be to pick. She asked Evalor for an item similar to a bobby pin. Evalor pulled a bobby pin out of her hair and handed it to Frina. Frina thanked them as she started picking the lock. The lock clicked open. They hurried up the stairs. The once empty hallway was now filled with guards.
"No wonder the prison hall had no guards," Trixie whispered. "They all went up here!"
"No, these are the guards from outside. The prison guards were on a lunch break," Rivon explained. Frina noticed an open window. She swiftly and quietly scaled the wall and climbed onto the window sill. She turned to a monkey and let down her tail. Eli, Trixie, Kord, Pronto, Rivon, and Evalor climbed up. Frina turned human once everyone was on the window sill. They climbed out the window and jumped down. Sure enough, there were no guards outside. Pronto and Kord got on their Mechas. Evalor an Rivon rode with them back to the hideout while Frina turned to a dragon and Trixie and Eli rode her. Frina wasn't going very fast; they weren't in a hurry. Frina deactivated Dragon's Eye. Evalor explained that Blakk wore out their Denekk powers in prison and that's why they had to ride with Kord and Pronto.
"Frina, do you want to come with us?" Evalor asked when they got back to hideout.
"No thanks, I think I want to stay here," Frina said. Evalor nodded, then got the sunglasses and downloaded their contacts into it, then downloaded it into the computer before leaving. They waved goodbye.
"Bye Frina!" they called out.
"Bye Mom and Dad!" Frina called back as her parents started the long trek back home.
