Chapter 8: The First Fragment
Previously, the Dragon Guardians are formed and things are about to change...
So far...
Ever since the Dragon Guardians are formed, things had changed in Norrisville...
On Monday, a gang of robbers robbed Greg's game hole. Greg was already passing out the money to them when a fireball was thrown past them. They turned to se the Fire Dragon Guardian in the game hole. "Everything burns if it's hot enough." He then drew his Fire Dragon Blade and engaged the robbers burning their rears easily and they ended up with their rears in a pail of water beside a police car. "Thanks for the rescue and saving of my game hole." Greg gave him some nachos and after consuming them, he burnt out of sight shocking him.
On Tuesday, the theatre caught fire and while everybody panicked over it, a blast of water shot by putting out the fire. All turned to see the Water Dragon Guardian conducting her life saving and after that, the fire died out and she self transmute into living water and disappeared.
On Wednesday, another robbery took place and the thugs stole a car to make a quick getaway but in the middle of driving, "Here's your ticket for over speeding!" Then, the Lightning Dragon Guardian appeared in front of him and he put his hand on the car and a surge took place. The thug was confused by this and decided to drive over him but to his surprise, the car was motionless when he tried to drive. Then, "And here's your one-way parking ticket! Thunder Punch!" Then, "POW!" The thug crashed onto the police and after being apprehended, the ninja then quickly self transmute into living electricity and went into a nearby appliance and is out of sight.
On Thursday, a roller coaster ride on Whoopee World malfunctioned and the ride was off the track. All panicked to it when a whirlwind swept by and held the ride down with little effort lifting it. The people awed by this watched as the ride was successfully brought down to the ground without a scratch and after that, the whirlwind faded revealing the Wind Dragon Guardian and after ensuring that everything is ok, she whirled out if sight.
On Friday, another robbery took place and the thug was holding a hostage. The police find it hard to do the job as the thug was armed with a heavy machine gun when from behind, the Earth Dragon Guardian burst from behind and from the ground and tapping his shoulder, the thug turned and, "POW!" he was sent flying to the police and as he lay on the ground severely dazed, "Soon his pain will be gone!" The police looked up and watched as he dove back into the earth and never emerged out.
On Saturday, an avalanche was triggered naturally at Snowklahoma. Those at the area were trying to evacuate but the avalanche was moving real fast until a wall of ice was formed blocking it and it came to a halt. All looked up to see the Ice Dragon Guardian riding on her ice slope she created on one hand and the other to fire ice blasts. After that, she rode off.
Finally on Sunday when McFist summoned a robot to attack Norrisville in order to draw out the ninja's attention, the Dragon Guardian showed and as a team blasted the robot with their elemental powers within 6 seconds. They then smokebombed out of the fight leaving the robot critically damaged pissing McFist so much that he spanked Viceroy on his posterior for no reason when he saw the footage of the battle in the office at the McFist Industries.
And now...
Back at school on Monday, the gang is watching the news as many people all over Norrisville talked about their heroic acts in the office. "Gee, it's like we're famous dudes." Crash described. "More like we're being widely known by the whole of Norrisville." agreed Ariel. "Well so far you all did good ever since I played my part and-" That's when the door burst open and Smith showed up. "I've got big news for you people. Follow me."
"But Mr Smith I'm not done with my..." He was cut of by his glare. "Oh what the juice. What's in store for us?"
Later in the metal shop...
"You're not gonna expect and believe this." Smith first opened a computer and it shows pictures of excavation or digging site or something to the gang. "Let me guess...they're digging for a fragment of the Dark Dragon Blade?"
"Maybe. That's why after school you must go there and investigate. And remember, do not touch the fragment because-"
"Yes, yes, we know it's a very possessive fragment to any life forms. Organic-"
"And digital."
"Yes and...what the juice? Digital? How can you be so sure?"
"The corruption of the fragment is like a virus or a plague infecting one victim to another regardless of organic or digital life forms.
"Well in that case..." Nodding at his team, they wore their ninja masks and transformed. "Okay. Let's find some sacred treasure!"
So after school...
"So what's the plan?"
"Theresa just let me first scan the place." Randy suggested as he watched from a distance. There, an excavation site was buzzing with robo-apes patrolling, working, digging, taking coffee breaks and other stuff. In an office, McFist and Viceroy are having a discussion. "VICEROY! What's the status!"
"The excavation is still in progress sir."
"Tell the robo-apes to double the digging! We need to get what the sorceror wants! That way, we can locate it in no time!" Back there, "They're gonna be digging it out soon! What should we do Cunningham?"
"Simple. We wait. Then, we strike when the iron is hot." Randy assured igniting a fireball. All were a bit like waiting doesn't make sense but he's the leader so they did as told.
For some time, the process was kinda long and all were tired of it until, "Guys look!" All looked up and saw the robo-apes extracting something from the ground. "Somebody get McFist here at once!" a robo-ape ordered. One of them nodded and hurried off to get him.
Inside the office, "Take this and don't drop it!" Viceroy was giving a robo-ape some files and it turned, "OOF! KSH!", "I told you not t drop it you fool! These files are vital! Remember that!" Viceroy scolded as McFist was watching Shoob Tube when, "Sir!" the robo-ape bagred in saying, "We found what we've been extracting!"
And so when McFist and Viceroy went to check it out, "So this is it! The first fragment of the Dark Dragon Blade!" Viceroy exclaimed as 3 robo-apes quietly wheeled it up. It was handle of the katana somehow and from their hiding spot, "So this is one of the 6 fragments I see." said Heidi. "Yup, now we make our move. Crash, give us a shortcut and a surprise for McFist please." Crash nodded and dug underground with the others trailing behind him.
Back to the excavation site, "Well Viceroy, I say we put this fragment into a safe storage area and-BOOM!" From the ground, the Earth Dragon Guardian emerged followed by the others. "Oh not the...wait a minute, there are 6 of you and that means..."
"Hannibal. There are 6 ninjas here to steal the you know what!"
"Oh yeah. Now I remember Viceroy. Robo-apes and chainsaw werewolves. ATTACK! And somebody secure the fragment!" Soon enough, all the apes and werewolves stopped what they are doing and charged at the guardians. "I did a little augmentation to the robo-apes and chainsaw werewolves, ninjas." They rolled their eyes. "And you all will be perfect test subjects for their experimental weapons! It's show time babe!" The robo-apes activated triple laser cannons on their fists and the werewolves used double-bladed chainsaws and they used 2 instead of 1. "Not bad McFist but still." The guardians drew their katanas and engaged the enemy using their elemental abilities. The Fire and Ice Dragon Guardians fought together, the Wind and Lightning Dragon Guardians fought together and likewise, Erath and Water. Together and in pairs, they burned, washed, shocked, blew, crushed and froze many robo-apes and chainsaw werewolves despite their upgrade. For the robo-apes tried shooting them but they deflect their lasers back onto them and even the werewolves could not break the Erath Dragon Guardian into pieces.
While the fight's taking place, "Somebody get that fragment before the ninjas get their hands on it!" McFist shouted out in demand. One of the robo-apes got the message and sneaked past the ninjas heading to the site. When Randy sensed it, "Wait! McFist! Don't do this! You don't even know what you're doing to it's dark power!"
"What's he talking about Viceroy?" McFist asked him. That's when the robo-ape got hold of the fragment calling out: "Hey, I got it guys!" It spoke too soon because all a sudden, the fragment glowed dark blinking at the same time. All stopped fighting to see the robo-ape panicking as the fragment it's holding unleashed dark power! "What's going on Viceroy?"
"I don't know! Is it just me or..." Then, the robo-ape glowed and fired dark energy blasts at everybody. It became so berserk that the fragment unleashed more dark power and wings of a dragon emerged from it's back. "Sounds like the fragment took control of the robo-ape." the Ice Dragon Guardian guessed. "So it's true that the fragment can possess anything. Organic or digital." The Wind Dragon Guardian agreed. From a distance, "Why didn't the sorcerer tell us about this? How did the ninja even know about this?!" McFist hissed at Viceroy. "He never knew about this! Believe me or else, we'll be preys to that monster!"
"Then that would mean one thing."
"What?"
"RUN!" Upon this word, all the robo-apes and chainsaw werewolves all ran out of the scene with McFist and Viceroy leaving the Dragon Guardians to fight the corrupted and possessed robo-ape who's wreaking havoc around the site. "So how do we fight this kind of threat?" The Water Dragon Guardian asked as she fired her Hydro Cannon to supress it. "Now as you all know, the dark power in the fragment is dangerous so don't use your bare hands to touch it. Instead, we knock it off and the robo-ape should be reverted back to it's digital state. Do what you can. Once the fragment is off. Leave the rest to me." The guardians nodded and took action.
Continuing the battle, the corrupted robot fired a lot of dark blasts but, "Frozen Block!" A bock of ice was formed blocking the attacks and then it was pushed onto the robot encasing part of his body in ice. "Alright guardians. Attack the ice on it and decapitate him to bananas!" All stared at him. "That's the worst joke I have ever heard in my entire life in Norrisville!" The Lightning Dragon Guardian groaned in disgust.
As the robot tried to fight back, "NOW! Attack before he makes a move! Blazing Speed!" A trail of fire struck through it. "Aqua Waves!" Waves of water struck it down. "Quick Zap!" A single touch is shockingly painful. "Tornado Storm!" A large tornado spun towards the robot and gave it a violent ride damaging it. "Boulder Blast!" A large boulder was thrown onto it and finally, "Together guardians!" All their blades elementally unleashed their power as all 6 of them together wiped it out and at the same time, the fragment was out of it and it was reverted to it's normal digital state. "Oh...what...just...happened?" The robo-ape then short circuited and exploded. As for the guardians, "Mission accomplished! Now stand back!" All stood back as their leader took out a metal box and scooped the fragment up. "Now we make our delivery."
Back at school...
At the metal shop, "I have brought it Mr Smith." The guardians gathered before Smith as Randy opened the box revealing the fragment. It still has the dark power though. "Good. This is just the only beginning for you guardians. Soon, you will all be facing new threats and challenges that lies ahead of you, testing your fate and destiny."
"So how do we prepare ourselves to counter them?" Well the swordsmith sure has ideas because after a few blind attempts, he pushed something on the rocky wall of his sword area and it opened up. All followed him and it lead to a training hall. "Here, you can harness and improve your elemental powers as you grow stronger."
"That is so bruce! Who's in?" All raised their hands as they transform and began their training...
So, they have the first fragment and when will the second one be out? Just wait for Chapter 9...
