ITS HERE! It's finally happening. A key chapter. If you did not read my author notes chapter then this is what a key chapter is. A key chapter is the sole reason this fic even happens. There were only 5 key points in this whole fic and I am so excited to finally be here.
Either way song for today is a very, very specific song from a certain time and place, it's a live song. (1993 Mexico City, The Ecstasy of Gold / Enter Sandman) Metallica.
"CLAY!" Everybody yelled seeing Clay thrown into Peril thinking he was going to be fried to a crisp.
That was not the case though. When Clay hit the ground everybody was expecting him to at least be covered in burns all over his body, and at the worst... what they were not expecting was for him to get up like nothing even remotely warm ran into him.
Clay got up and shook his head to get rid of the dizziness, "Crap, who did I flatten?" Clay said knowing he ran into somebody on the way down.
Peril jumped up knowing that Clay was going to be badly burned, "CLAY I'm so sorry, you just... you're alright?" Peril was baffled at the fact Clay wasn't screaming in agony with burns all over his body.
"Yea, why wouldn't I be?" Clay asked confused with how frantic Peril was, he only fell a few dragon length's down. He has been through way worse than that when he was training with everybody.
"Clay... you ran straight into Peril, how are you not burned?" Starflight asked confused and also happy that Clay wasn't hurt.
"Wait, your prophecy said that you were born from a blood-red egg, right?" Coral asked Clay.
"Yea, what does that have to do with anything?" Clay asked still confused.
"How do you not know this? Almost everybody knows Mudwings born from blood-red eggs are almost completely fireproof" Coral said.
"Nobody ever told me or my friends," Clay said frowning, already thinking about how that would have been helpful in so many situations he has been in.
Everybody was thinking about the same thing Clay was thinking but Peril on the other hand... "Holly shit... he is fireproof... That means I have a chance with him!" nobody saw it, but Peril got a huge grin on her face with that thought.
"Look, I don't mean to seem greedy and ask you guys for more help but... considering Blister literally has us surrounded..." Coral asked them hoping that they would say yes.
"Ohh don't worry, this definitely goes on one of our red flags," Sunny said remembering the list they made a little while back.
"...What?" Coral asked confused at what Sunny said.
"Don't worry about what she said, yes we will help you," Tsunami said.
Coral sighed "thank you, you go on ahead, I am going to try and rally the troops to make a counter-offensive" Coral dived off the platform, heading to the barracks with Gill and the guard following behind her.
"So... shall we try this again?" Clay asked with a smile on his face. Everybody got a smile on their face in excitement.
"Remember try not to kill anybody if we don't have to, we are trying to keep the peace, not slaughter them all, but if you have..." Starflight said
Everybody jumped up into the air when they started hearing wingbeats above them, knowing the invasion was here.
The dragonets busted through the canopy to see hundreds of sand wings flying overhead.
Undeterred, the dragonets kept on charging ahead heading straight up into the middle of the army.
four of the Sandwings in the army laughed at the dragonets and started charging at them... less to say it was a poor decision.
Glory, with a few strong wing beats, charged ahead just a little bit, she made four vines burst out of the canopy to the palace and wrap around the Sandwing's tails, and threw them away.
This shocked almost the whole army, who just saw what happened to their comrades. Their shock was broken when 6 huge jets of fire came out of the Skywing and broke their army into 6 groups.
The dragonets split into a group, each one heading for a group of the army that Peril just split apart.
Sunny went for the smallest group first. The Sandwings knew better now than to underestimate her so they surrounded her as quickly as they could.
Sunny remained calm, knowing she was fine. "I am sure you guys wouldn't be kind enough to give up, would you?" She asked politely.
"You are surrounded... you do know that don't you?" The biggest Sandwing asked confused.
"So?" Sunny said smirking. As soon as she said that, two of the Sandwings started to charge at her, they were shocked when she just took their claw slashes and she didn't even flinch. Sunny didn't say anything and just started trying to claw at them wherever she could causing hundreds of small injuries, ignoring the injuries she was taking.
The two Sandwings backed off of Suny panting hard and bleeding everywhere with all the cuts they had. "you're not even defending yourself hardly? You are almost dead, do you surrender?"
Suny just giggled a little bit "Nope!" And just like that all of the injuries Suny got while fighting started to disappear. "It's going to take more than a few scratches to get rid of me!"
With Glory and Tsunami
Glory and Tsunami were having no issues at all at the moment, they were hovering in the air side by side, slapping anybody down who got close to them.
"You know, I feel like we overtrained for this." Glory said sarcastically while swiping away another soldier who was stupidly charging at the two. She was still using the vines from the canopy from the palace.
"You're telling me! this is supposed to be around three-quarters of Blister's army, we are straight up at this point not even using any effort" Tsunami said while smacking a way another dragon with a huge tendril of water. "I mean... come on is this all they got?!"
With the boys
Clay and Starflight on the other hand were having some fun with everything going on.
Clay and Starflight were flying together as fast as they could, making a huge Sandwing train behind them, they had around 30 dragons behind them. "Alright, are you ready Clay!" Starflight asked him.
"Whenever you are!" Clay yelled back with a smile on his face thinking of the plan they had.
"Alright, hold... hold... NOW!" Starflight ordered. The moment he said that, around 50 stone pillars came up in Infront of them in a way that Starflight and Clay could fly through them. They flew in between the pillars about halfway and stopped.
The Sandwings finally caught up to them. "Surrender now, you are greatly outnumbered.
"Nah," Starflight said plainly like nothing was going to happen.
"Capture them!" the lead Sandwing said angrily. Nobody moved to do anything.
"Why can't I move, I am stuck!" one of the Sandwings said shaking his head trying to move. "I can't either!" all the Sandwings were trying to move now, but they couldn't.
"Sorry, don't think you will be going anywhere for the time being," Starflight said like he was scolding a child.
"What do you mean Nightwing? Tell me!" the lead Sandwing commanded him getting angrier and angrier by the second.
"Simple, your shadows know who is in charge here," Starflight said while turning to his friend. "You know what to do Clay."
Clay shook his head, suddenly the pillars started to bend like they were not made out of rock and started to wrap around all the Sandwings, trapping them.
Clay looked to Starflight, "That was fun!"
With Peril
Peril was... surprisingly bored. There wasn't even anybody around her, they all knew who she was and they wanted nothing to do with her.
"Ohh come on, won't anybody fight me?" Peril asked to herself trying to fly at a group of Sandwings that were trying to stay away from her.
She heard one of them say "AWW Hell no!" Peril just giggled to herself with how afraid they were.
"Come on guys, Im not going to kill you!" Peril said still trying to catch the group of soldiers. It didn't help anything.
Back with Sunny
"COME ON! I'm not even tired yet and you guys are already giving up." Sunny said while still being surrounded.
"WHY won't YOU JUST DIE ALREADY!" one of the soldiers yelled "You're not even fighting back anymore!"
"Not my fault you guys suck," Sunny said smiling at them.
"Screw this! I'm leaving." The guard said, leaving with some others following knowing nothing was going to work. "Would rather deal with Queen Blister than this shit!"
"Well, that's just boring," Sunny said disappointed at the guards leaving. "Ohh well... Hey look, Clay and Starflight are done" Starflight and Clay flew over to her.
"Sunny, what happened, all of them just left?" Clay asked her, looking to see if she was ok.
"They couldn't handle the fact that they couldn't kill me," Sunny said simply.
"Sunny, what did we say about just letting people hit you?" Clay said sternly, "Even know they can't really harm you, it doesn't mean you should let them, what would happen if they actually could kill you?"
"I highly doubt that would ever happen." Sunny said, "I see that you guys actually decided to trap the guards?" Sunny said looking over to the guards that Clay and Starflight caught with the pillars.
"Ya, me and Clay decided to make a game out of it," Starflight answered smiling.
Peril came flying into the group, hovering next to them. "At least you guys got to do something, everybody I was going after just kept on running away." She said while jokingly pouting.
"Hey, here comes Glory, and Tsunami!" Sunny said while pointing at them.
Glory and Tsunami started flying next to the group. "That was way too easy, did any of you see Blister?" Tsunami asked the group.
"Nope, not a clue, I was chasing down a group, but I didn't see any in it." Peril answered.
"Me neither," Sunny answered plainly. "Too, busy fighting."
"Same," Both Clay and Starflight said at the same time.
"Shit, was hoping to catch Blister, would make our job a lot easier," Tsunami said angrily. She brightened up a little bit with the next thought, "But hey, we managed to capture easily around a quarter of her forces!"
They looked back to the summer palace when they started to hear wings flapping. There were hundreds of Seawings following behind Coral, Gill, and Shark, all of them were wearing battle armor and they looked ready for a fight. When they made it up to the dragonets they looked around.
"Where are they?" Shark asked the dragonets, looking around for a fight.
"Over there," Starflight answered pointing at all the Sandwings they caught.
"Where is the rest?" Shark asked again, dumbfounded by all the captured Sandwing soldiers.
"They all ran away, we ran them off" Glory answered him.
"HOW? It wasn't even twenty minutes?" Shark yelled flabbergasted at what the dragonets did.
Gill started to laugh, "What did I tell you Shark, I told you these dragonets were special."
"Apparently" Shark muttered, agreeing with Gill.
"And once again... I am in your debt, thank you." Coral said. "Let's go back down to the palace, we need to celebrate!" some of the dragons behind her roared in excitement and started to head back down to the palace. After all the soldiers left, only the dragonets, Coral, Gill, and shark were left.
"Since I don't see her, I'm going to doubt that you caught Blister?" Coral asked them.
"Sorry, we have no idea on how she got away, but we didn't even see her one time, once we got into the battle," Tsunami said for the group.
Coral sighed at this, "It's fine, I am sure that she won't attack us, again after taking such heavy losses."
"This battle should have truthfully, almost crippled her, she won't be able to do any major battles anytime soon." Shark cut in.
"Let's go, I want you Dragonets next to me on the table," Coral said, starting to head back down to the palace. The dragonets followed her down right behind her and Gill.
"Hey Starflight, do you think there will be food?" Clay thought to Starflight.
Starflight chuckled a little bit, "Yes Clay, I'm sure there will be food."
"Heck ya" Clay thought enthusiastically in his mind.
After the party
It was late now, the only dragons flying around now, were the dragons who were cleaning up after the celebration. Coral and Gill were sitting with the dragonets talking.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Coral asked the group, worried for them.
"We have been talking and we think we are going to head towards the Mud Kingdom next, if we can take out the Mudwing forces in Burn's army, it would even out the war a lot, right now Burn has three different forces in her army," Starflight said.
"Ahh yes, the Mudwings and Skywings." Coral said thinking about the tribes, "What is your plans for them?"
"We are not sure yet about the Mudwings." Starflight paused thinking, "But we are definitely leaving the Skywings for last, didn't leave on the best terms, did we?"
Gill chuckled a little bit, "No, I don't think you guys did, did you,"
"Anyways, we were going to find out what we were going to do with the Mudwings when we get there," Tsunami said.
"Simple, when will you be leaving?" Coral asked them.
Tsunami frowned at this, "Tomorrow morning, we need to even out Burns's army as quickly as possible before she learns that she now has the strongest army."
"I figured as much." Coral sighed. "Just don't leave tomorrow without telling me, Gill, and Anemone goodbye."
Tsunami smiled at her "Wouldn't think of it"
And that's the end of part two for this fic. I know you guys are probably wondering why everybody is so OC, remember, they grew up almost completely differently. They grew up with confidence, power, and strength, and that will change anybody. They are also partially cocky, besides losing to each other, they have never lost a fight to anybody.
