Ch. 15 The Battle.
Alex was heading somewhere north, she didn't exactly know where it would take her and her friends, but she did know that it would get them further away from Argost. Zak and his parents soon noticed that Alex was growing weak from travel. She's been flying for hours now; none of them wanted her to push herself so hard.
"Hey Alex we can stop here if you want to." Drew said
"No it's ok I can keep going. Really." Alex responded
"Wait you can speak while in dragon form!" Drew said
"Yeah, even I don't know the limit of my powers."
"Well any ways, you know stopping somewhere here might the best thing for us right now. While get supplies that we can use, you can rest for the next trip." Doc said
"But I..."
"Alex please, none of us wants you to push yourself like this." Zak said
"Ok, get ready for landing."
Alex started to descend to the ground; suddenly she stopped in the middle of the air. Everyone was wondering why she would stop so suddenly.
"Hey Alex, what's wrong?" Zak said
"There's something coming towards us, I can hear it, and from the sound of it, it's coming up fast." Alex responded
She heard the sound come from behind her. The moment she turned around an explosion hit her! Her dragon half let out terrible shriek of pain. Her arm took most of the damage, but before she could think anything through she heard the same sound coming for them again, but in a different direction. She turned and saw a missile coming towards them. So she used her wings to shield them from the blast. The blast hit, but it looked like her lower back had taken most of the damage.
She stayed in that one position ready to fight back. The others kept their eye pealed for anyone. Then out of the smoke they saw Argost's jet, and then on the other side of the sky was the secret scientists jet. The secret scientist must have must of tracked down Alex when they heard she was the dragon cryptid. The Saturdays knew what they wanted.
It seemed to be a fight for the world's second most powerful cryptid ever! Alex felt helpless because of the blasts that she took to her arm and back, she feared there was no way out of this one. Then a thought occurred and plan came after, all she could do was hope it would work. When the two jets were in the air ready to strike, she let a burst of fire from her mouth that shinned almost as bright as the sun.
While Argost and the secret scientist were distracted by the flames, Alex flung straight for the ground. Right as she landed everyone got off her back and made a run for it. They all assumed that Alex would return to human form and join them, but she didn't. She was still in her dragon form and she flew back into the sky and challenged both of them to an aerial dogfight. The Saturdays and grey men watched in fear as they saw powerful explosions and lighting strikes in the air.
Alex was putting up a good fight, but with every blow she took she became weaker and weaker. She didn't think that she could take much more of this, then another thought occurred to her again. She had feeling it was going to work too. What she did was use her fire-breathe for cover again.
The flames engulfed the scientist's jet. Then when they weren't looking, Alex came from behind and grabbed the back of the jet with her fangs. She bit down on it hard, so they couldn't get away. Then she flew down to the ground again and flung their aircraft to the earth. When they crashed the scientist fell dizzy and disoriented. They woke up to the Saturdays and the Grey men surrounding them with their weapons ready to fire.
They kept them pinned down to the ground while Alex finished off the dogfight. The only ones left were Argost and Alex. But then, suddenly they saw that Alex was growing weaker and weaker she couldn't even fly for very long. Suddenly she changed back into her human form and without her wings to help her fly she fell to earth.
