Dragon Problems

"How is this possible?" Nightmare asked his and Starkage's eyes shone brightly in disbelief. "All of the dragons in Camelot said that they would do aid little or no help to the Black Knight ever since his tyrannical reign. "Is it possible that they are rouge dragons outside the kingdom?" The wolf sadly shook his head.

"Nope, I had recognized a few of them, even the physic dragon, Kyna, is there amongst them." Harlan answered with disappointment. The green dragon was prepared to speak, but was interrupted as the sounds of war horns blared out accompanied by the sounds of dragons roaring. The group rushed to the gates, followed by the town's personal knights and guards while the citizens hid in their houses. They raced up the stairs to the top of the wall, stopping in shock as they reached the wall. The brown wolf was right, the pink, physic dragon was amongst the army of Underworld Knights along with other dragons from blue, water dragons to red fire dragons..

"Hey, I recognize that one." Sonic said as he pointed to the fire dragon whose nose horn was slashed off.

"That's Mamerto you're talking about. He's one of those loner dragons who usually sit in caves for most of their lives. I also see Mist; she's usually stays around the Misty Lake, as it's her duty that ran down in the family." Nightmare explained as he studied each of the dragons, but no signs that the dragons were being forced upon their will to fight alongside the enemy. He squinted slightly as he looked at the eyes of Kyna, along with Mamerto's and Mist's. Instead of the usual eye color of yellow and light blue, they each had a darker tone to the color, making the eyes look almost black.

"What you notice, Nightmare." The green dragon asks, catching sight of the black hedgehog's expression. Red eyes glanced over quickly at the dragon before studying the approaching army and the dragons.

"There seems to be something controlling them, I believe I high level of black magic is in play in this situation." The hedgehog answered as he turned to face the waiting group.

"So the Black Knight's is controlling the dragons of Camelot to complete his devious scheme," Sonic stated, putting two and two together. "One question though. How come you two aren't being controlled by the black magic?"

"I am use to it, bending it to my will when necessary, and I'm difficult to control. Starkage here, however, well, he might not have a brain worth controlling." The earth dragon snorted in offence as he glared at Nightmare.

"Hey, I so to have a brain, I'm actually very intelligent mind you. I just don't feel like doing so most of the time." Starkage replied arrogantly, folding his arms against his brown chest and lifting his head up in a way that made him look like some snotty rich kid.

"Sure, we'll believe that." Lamorak jutted in sarcastically. The mocked dragon let out an angry growl before getting face to face with the green hawk.

"Look here, bird brain; I'm getting sick of your infuriating mouth. If you want to judge someone about their intelligence, judge yours since you make one of my little brother look like a genius, and his I.Q. barely reaches 75." The dragon growled, allowing his teeth to flash under the sunlight. Brown eyes turned to slits, giving the dragon a more feral look. The hawk jumped slightly backwards away from the dragon, a chill running down his back.

"Hey, hey, stop it you two. We don't need you two killing each other over how smart someone is." Percival stated as she stood between the two green mobians, her hands lit aflame in a threatening manner.

"Percival is right; we have more important matters to attend to." Lancelot replied in agreement, staring off at the approaching army.

"So, should we roll out the welcome mat for our guests?" Sonic said as his famous grin appeared on his face. He looked at the group, his metal gloved hand held Caliburn's hilt tightly in anticipation of another taste of action to occur.

(Dungeon, Tails P.O.V.)

I hung slightly limp in my chains, bits of light shining slightly into the room. Charles was able to persuade the Black Knight to have me repositioned to another room, but the evil king made sure to make the bars out of diamond and far away from where the chains were placed. At least now, I can tell if it's day or night. My stomach growled slightly, breakfast was running late today. I learned from the once prince that the Black Knight had devised a way to control most of the dragons in Camelot through dark magic. Those who weren't influenced fled the kingdom, leaving places vulnerable to his attacks. There were, however, two dragons that fail to be controlled. Starkage and Nightmare I bet, well, at least Nightmare.

"Are you sure he'll help us? He's not trying to trick us later is he." My ears perked up slightly as I heard someone from out in the halls ask, understanding who 'he' is. I heard the small clatter of metal as another voice was heard.

"Yeah, he's not going to leave us out in the dust like those other people is he? I'm gettin sick n tired of being in this place and working for the Black Knight."

"Come in and speak to him yourselves. He looks, sounds, and acts slightly like the Blacksmith, and we all know that fox wouldn't harm someone who was in dire need." Charles say as the jingling of keys filled in the void of silence. The door opened slightly as three figures made their way into the slightly smaller dungeon. I recognized the first one as the royal bee. He wore a helmet with no visor instead of his usual one, allowing me to see his childish face. His outfit was more of chainmail type armor. The other two wore the same exact outfit, allowing me to see their familiar faces. He looked exactly like Vector, noticing that he was possibly the source of the second voice, slang slightly heard as he spoke earlier. Amber eyes looked at me in slight hope and worry. The other one was almost a duplicate of Espio, beside the fact that he seemed slightly nervous around me. "Hey, Tails, this is my royal bodyguard, Reptar."

"Hi, nice to meet ya." He extended a hand formerly for a handshake. I tried to accept the offer, but remembered that I was still chained to the wall. The bee chuckles slightly as he edged toward me.

"Sorry, forgot to let that off of you." He unlocked the chains, allowing me full movement. I could escape at the moment, and I know that's what the chameleon was possibly thinking I was going to do as I notice him shifting slightly toward the door. I ignored it, instead shaking hands with the crocodile. "And this is my royal advisor, Marcus."

"Nice to meet you." The chameleon shook my hand nervously, eyes studying me carefully as if watching my every move.

"Anyway, we got good news and bad news. Bad news is that the Black Knight will be staying in the citadel, so we won't be able to get you out without one of us getting killed."

"And the good news?" I asked.

"If your friends succeed in stopping the army in Moltar and at the Cauldron, than he would be forced to leave the premises, allowing us time to escape. Fewer and fewer of my knights are able to resist the dark magic that binds us too him, so we might have trouble with those men." Charles explained. I heard my belly growl slightly, making me grin nervously as I looked at their faces. The bee chuckles slightly.

"Oh yes, almost forgot." He stepped outside for a minute and came back in with some breakfast. "Eat well these next few days, you will need your energy." He placed the plate on table close to the door. As the trio began to exit the room, the bee turned back, saying a few more words. "And if neither one of us are giving you your meals, do not eat them. I believe it might contain traces of black magic in them." I nodded, nervous at the fact that I could possibly end up like those dragons or even worse. I pulled out the chair as the door close and began to eat my breakfast.

Me: Finally got it the way I want it to sound. One of my brothers will make an appearance, but will mostly be a villain in will only be in the next three chapters.

Sonic: What took you so long to update.

Me: 1. New story (actually it's a revised version) 2. Trying to word the chapter so it'll sound nice.

Lamorak: And 3

Me: If you don't get your tail out of my author's note we're going to have a problem.
