The Young Keepers followed Belle through the park to where the first artifact was hidden.
Everyone gazed at the park and all the different things.
None of them have ever been to Disneyland Paris, so it was all new to them.
It was all amazing.
But Belle had to keep them focused on heading towards the location.
"Follow me," she said.
She was leading everyone towards the castle.
They stared up at Sleeping Beauty's castle, almost exactly like the one from Disneyland.
"It's in the castle?" asked Jason. "That's where the first one was hidden! They seriously need new hiding spaces."
"It's not just in the castle," said Belle. "Its under it. Guarded."
"By what?" asked Francesca. "Traps? Trails? A monster?"
"Just follow me," said Belle.
Belle led everyone along a path until finally they ended up in front of an opening.
A sign on the wall read, La Tanière du Dragon.
"D-Dragon!?" yelled Dylan.
"Wait I know this!" said Logan. "This is where a huge animatronic dragon lies and puts on a show for the park visitors."
"It's not an animatronic," said Belle. "Sleeping in there is a real dragon, covered up by an animatronic cloaking spell."
"So…it's a real dragon?" asked Melody timidly.
"It was a perfect way to hide the source of power," said Belle. "The only way to get the artifact is to defeat the dragon."
"You're kidding me!?" asked Jason.
"Also how do we defeat it when it's an animatronic?" asked Dylan.
Belle reached into her bag and pulled out a piece of paper with words on it.
"Read these words and the spell with be lifted," she said. "But know that once you lift it, you're facing a real life fire-breathing dragon and there will be no turning back or retreating."
"I'm not scared!" Francesca tried to say confidently.
"Be warned," said Belle. "This is a powerful dragon. For its not only the last living one in this world, but it is the very first to dwell on the planet."
"Wait a minute!" yelled Logan. "Now you're saying dragons were once real!?"
"Another time," said Belle. "You must go now."
Dylan nodded and made his sword appear in his hand.
"We're ready," he said. "Let's go."
Everyone nodded, said goodbye to Belle, had to drag Melody away from hugging her, and walked inside.
It was dark inside with only a few lights.
"I really wish we had out DHIs," said Jason.
"Why didn't Mickey send them?" asked Logan.
"There wasn't enough time to have them set up in the other parks," said Francesca.
"Who told you that?" asked Melody.
"Mickey when I first arrived at the airport this morning," said Francesca. "I asked him and he told me."
"Well going all clear is out of the option," said Dylan. "We have to survive without becoming ghosts."
Everyone nodded and continued to walk.
Soon enough, they made it into the room.
They saw the humongous animatronic dragon sleeping on the rocks in the cave-like setting.
The machine was turned off because the park was closed.
The kids all stared at the dragon for a while, and then at one another.
"Are we ready?" asked Dylan.
"Let's do this," said Logan.
"I'm…I'm not scared!" stammered Jason.
Melody laughed at her brother who shot her a murderous look.
"I'm always ready," said Francesca.
Dylan nodded and took out the piece of paper and began to read the spell.
"ON THIS DAY/NIGHT AND IN THIS HOUR, I CALL UPON THE SACRED POWER. BRING LIFE TO EVERYTHING IN THIS SPACE, BRING LIFE TO EVERYTHING IN THIS PLACE. IT SHALL WALK & IT SHALL TALK, IT SHALL HAVE EYES LIKE A HAWK. GIVE ME THE POWER TO ANIMATE THIS, I CAST THIS SPELL & GIVE IT BLISS. SO ON THIS NIGHT/DAY & IN THIS HOUR, COME TO LIFE WITH MY SACRED POWER."
Everyone waited after Dylan finished reading the spell.
Nothing happened at first, and then for a minute nothing did.
"Did it work?" asked Logan.
"It should've," said Dylan.
They waited more, and nothing happened.
"Stupid piece of shit," said Melody.
"Melody!" yelled Jason. "I have never heard you curse like that!"
"Who dares to call me a piece of shit?" said a deep voice.
Everyone froze as a cold shiver ran down everyone's spines.
They all turned around and saw the dragon beginning to move.
Dylan took his sword and jumped over the side.
"Dylan!" yelled Francesca.
"Come on!" he yelled. "We can't fight him from behind a rope!"
"But there's water down there!" complained Francesca.
"Get down here or you'll never kiss these lips again!" yelled Dylan.
Francesca gasped.
"You don't have to be that rude," she said.
Everyone jumped over the side and then a deep sigh of breath was heard.
"Who dares to awaken me after all these years?" asked the voice again.
Dylan's hand shook rapidly as he held his sword.
"We…we are the Young Keepers!" he yelled. "Descendants of the Kingdom Keepers! And we come seeking the source of Ultimate Power you guard!"
The dragon was silent for a minute, but then it's big eyes opened up wide, startling the Keepers.
"Then you will have to…BEAT ME!" yelled the dragon.
Immediately cracks began to form all over the animatronic.
Light beamed out of the cracks, and then they blasted right off.
Underneath the metal skin was real life reptilian scales and moving bones.
The whole cave opened up more as the real life dragon came to life and roared ferociously.
Everyone screamed as it stood on all fours.
It then stared down at them, fire coming out of it's mouth.
"I am an ancient dragon, and the first and last living dragon in the world," said the dragon. "I have been asleep for tons of years. If you wish to get the source of Ultimate Power young heroes, YOU MUST DEFEAT ME!"
"Ummm…" stammered Logan. "When you say defeat, does that mean kill?"
The dragon roared loudly, making the place rumble.
"DEFEAT ME AND YOU WILL GET THE POWER!" it yelled.
"But does that mean kill!?" yelled Logan.
"Doesn't matter," said Dylan gripping his sword. "This lizard is going down or we'll never save the world!"
The dragon almost laughed.
"Brave child you are," it said. "Only one other person with that kind of bravery. And that would be…a Whitman."
Dylan froze.
"Did you say…Whitman?" he asked. "How do you know…"
The dragon roared again.
"Fight me now or die!" it yelled. "Prove you are worthy!"
Dylan almost smiled as he gripped his sword.
"You'll be dead before you can say I'm worthy," he said. "I'm not leaving without the power!"
The dragon roared again and Dylan pointed his sword at it.
"ATTACK!" he yelled.
Everyone just ran straight at the dragon as it roared loudly, prepared to attack first, with a pillar of fire coming straight out of its mouth.
Cliffhanger! How will they defeat the dragon you wonder? Think it was clever doing this for the first power source? Stay tuned for the battle!
See you next update! Review please dearies! (Like seriously just do it!)
