'Let play Hide And Go Seek? What's gotten into dad? I mean seriously where will a hundred and twenty foot dragon hide? Knowing dad he knows a few places in this desert he can hide in.' Duncan thought.
Belloc had went out to the desert and told Duncan that instead of counting to ten wait ten minutes. Time was almost up and Duncan figured this would be slightly easy. About a minute later it was time for Duncan to go seek his father. Duncan stood up and spread his wings. Backing up a few feet Duncan leapt off the plateau and began flying like a bird.
Up in the sky Duncan surveyed the area. He looked all around to see there were any signs of his father. The only thing as far as the eye could see was sand,rock formations,and dead or gripping to life trees. When Duncan thought he had found him it was just his imagination. By now Duncan had searched the desert for forty minutes and was a bit frustrated. He decided to land for a moment and think. He slowed down and landed on a nearby rock formation.
Sighing Duncan said to himself,"Ok,think Duncan. You can't see,feel,or hear him..." Then Duncan remembered how Belloc had wrapped his tail around him,"but maybe I can smell him. Of course! Dad gave me both a punishment and a hint,smart."
Duncan lifted his arms to his face and took in a long,deep breathe. Instinctively the smell was now locked in his head. Taking in another breathe of the air the scent was matched. 'Gotcha now.' Duncan thought joyfully.
Well it turned out Duncan had been going the wrong way. Turning around Duncan could smell his fathers scent from the sky. As he flew on he noticed that the scent seemed to die down in size and it was doing so very quickly. This lead Duncan to fly closer and closer to the ground. The scent was still strong but in amounts it kept diminishing. Finally Duncan realized how close to the ground he was.
'Better continue on foot.' He though as he landed.
Though there were no tracks the scent kept Duncan going on his way. Every time Duncan took in a breathe the scent seemed more human than Kaiju. Though what human would be out in the middle of the desert? Duncan jogged on for about fifteen minutes until the scent lead him to an unexpected place.
'A giant boulder? Either I need this locating exercise or Dads up to something again. It's not exactly like the other ones though. It's more yellow than red or orange.' Duncan took a breathe of the air and saw where it was taking him.'A hole in the boulder? This ought to be interesting.'
Duncan grabbed onto the rock with his claws and began climbing. The hole was directly at the half way point in the boulder. It didn't take Duncan too long to get to it either. The itself was big enough for almost anyone to climb inside. Duncan retracted his wings and climbed in. Inside the hole Duncan began crawling his way to the opening at the end yet he was still very confused as to what would be at the end. Eventually Duncan made it to he end and jumped out. Duncan landed on a soft bed of grass. Then he noticed where he was.
'Wow! This isn't just a boulder it's a giant geode!' He thought as he saw his surroundings.
The walls of the rock were covered in coral colored crystals that shined. Duncan almost lost total focus just looking at them. Then he saw him. There on the ground with his legs crossed was a man he'd never seen before. The strangers hair was long,thick,and black. His skin was crimson red and horns poked out above his ears. The mans pants were grey and he didn't bare a shirt. Not to mention how toned his visible arms and back were. His black,long fingernails rested on his knees as he stood perfectly still. Duncan could smell his fathers scent which he'd been following on the mystery man. Quite frankly Duncan didn't know what to say to him.
"Uh sir?" Duncan began saying.
The mystery man lunged at his with great speed. Duncan barley had time to react the man took him by the throat and plunged his head into the ground. Dust went flying as Duncan went into survival mode. He kicked the man with both feet into the air. This sent the man flying yet he landed on his feet gracefully while Duncan stood up. With a bit of anger Duncan came at the man. His fist went flying and astonishingly he blocked everyone of them with ease. Once he'd caught them both in his red hands he pulled Duncan close kneeing him in the chin. He wasn't done yet. Then man then crossed Duncan's arms and head-butt him one,two,three times. Blood came gushing from Duncan's head.
"Ok,now am mad!" He screamed in the mans face.
Duncan twisted his arms furiously in a manner that unraveled his hands. Quickly Duncan took two fingers and forcefully hit the man just below the Adam's Apple. Duncan had performed the Hichu slightly paralyzingly the man. With the chance he had Duncan for fully kicked the man into the crystal wall behind him. Duncan then ran to his side and penned him to the wall by his hands.
"Who are you?" Duncan asked furiously.
A smile grew on the mans face. Next thing Duncan knew was the he was being tripped. The man took his foot and with the strength of twenty slid his foot across the ground tripping Duncan. In mid-air the man took Duncan's left foot and with great force pushed Duncan's entire body down onto the ground. Once there the man pinned his head with one hand and slid under his stomach with another. The mans knees pinned Duncan's arms while he struggled. Suddenly Duncan couldn't move. The move the man had done on Duncan was called Spirit Tower Gate and it was another paralyzingly pressure point. Getting from on top of Duncan the man walked in front of him and knelt down.
The man pulled Duncan's face close to his;there eyes meet and he said,"Son..."
With disbelief Duncan knew who it was. The scaly skin,deep voice,quick thinking,and golden eyes."Dad?" Duncan said and a smirk appeared on the mans face.
"A tracker takes down there target before the target sees you as them."
"So attack or be attacked?"
"Exactly."
