Prologue
"When I was a young hatchling, there were once creatures called humans. Many dragons today would not remember how they are gone but I myself are one of the few who witnessed the fate of the human race. Let me tell you a story about my life and how we dragons have become the new dominate species"
(Around the night time ocean near the coast of Sweden)
Four ships are seen sailing to a location, escorting a carrier ship with a few choppers. The fleet are heading to a large hole in the middle of the ocean. Inside the hole, a strange glow can be seen inside. Whatever the glow is, the armada are sailing towards it.
The ships finally stop in front of the giant hole safely.
Inside the command center of the carrier, a team of human workers are seated into their position getting monitors ready. In the center of the room is the captain of the vessel who wore a leather trench coat with a captain cap on top.
"Get the intercom ready", the captain orders.
One of the workers make a salute as he approaches one of the switches to activate the intercoms.

Outside the carrier are a team of four agents heading to the helicopter for a mission. As they board, two pilots who were waiting for them climbs into the cockpit of the chopper.
The team consists of one sergeant male, two young private boys, and one lieutenant female all wore dark blue combat fatigues and plated armor. They also carried weapons to defend themselves for the mission ahead.
With the team boarded in, a hologram in the center glows to reveal the captain who is going brief them about the mission.
"Alright Scout team 7 listen up! You are about to enter a secret place that we have been keeping secret for many years. According the records, the place is called 'the hidden world' which is said to house an entire alien world populated by what many ordinary humans call mythical creatures known as Dragons."
"WHAT!?" a young private shouts in amazement, "Are you serious?"
"Yes private and because you are new, let tell you something. Like it or not turns out dragons are very much real and they have hiding under our noses this whole time. Only we, the employ of Magi prime knows about them so we are not allowed to tell anyone. Got it?"
The team nods letting the Captain know so he continues.
"Your mission is to collect two Dragon eggs from each of the targeted nests for the yearly restocking."
"Yearly restocking?" another private asks with his brow raised.
"As much as I want to explain more but we have a mission to do, so I am going to give you all the list of nests for you gather the two eggs. Are you all ready?" The captain asks them.
"We are clear as the light blue sky sir" the Sergeant states as he cocks his weapons like an action hero.
"All right team 7, in three, two, one!" The cap counts down as the helicopter's engines start.
The helicopter takes off the carrier as it flies into the giant hole to get inside the hidden world. Inside the long glowing tunnel, the team seems to be a bit excited.
"My gosh, we are actually going to see real dragons!" a female sques.
"Dude when I was a kid, I always dreamed about dragons being real!" one of the privates rant like a fanboy.
The Sergeant just sat around listening to two of his team acting like children.
The other private just held onto his weapon looking very scared. He is probably afraid of what the dragons might do to him. Whatever the case it might be, he signed up to be a soldier which means he must show no fear.
"Guys! You better come look at this!" one of the pilots calls out to them. The team peak through the nearby windows to see a coral wonderland, the legendary hidden world.
As briefed by the captain, the world is filled with all kinds of dragons; some were sleeping, some are wrestling, drinking, fighting, or eating some of the marine life that swam in the waters.
"Activating tactical cloak" the other pilot speaks as he presses a nearby button causing the copter to turn invisible.
The helicopter lands around a cliff and the team hops out with their weapons drawn. The female Lt. also holds a special brief case as part of the mission. Leaving the copter behind, the team make their way across the path while admiring the sights of the alien world.
"Dude. This place is like we just discovered a whole new planet!" one of the two privates speaks in amazement.
"This place is just so beautiful and colorful! Oh what if we find some adorable baby wagons!" the woman spoke like a little girl who discovered a magical land of fairies. The other Private paid more attention to the flocks of dragons who have not spotted them yet. He is obviously scared of what happens if they see them.
"Pipe down guys, we don't want get their attention. This place might be pretty, but it is still dangerous. If been here before." The sarge explains.
"You were here before?" the scared private asks.
"I did and the last time we messed up, almost my entire old team got eaten"
The scared private makes a gulp after the sarge explains his role. A part of wants to feel safe knowing that they are with an expert right?
So the team eventually come across the first nest. According to the list, it is the nest of Terrible terrors. The Sarge picks up the first two eggs while the LT drops her case and opens it up. Turns out the case is a teleporter for the eggs to be transported to the command. The Sarge places the eggs into the case while the privates kept guard. The eggs in the case glow bright and vanished. The Lt. crosses out the first dragons family on the list.
For the remainder of the mission, the team gather all the required eggs from the remainder nests. So far so good. No dragon have spotted them yet. However, when the nightlight nest, the last of the list comes next a nearby Nightlight father with black scales and purplish white spots slept with his mate.
()
Dragon father slept until he heard footsteps making him slowly wake up. He looks around to spot the human team approaching the nest of five eggs. Father instincts kicking in, the drake begins to make a threating growl at the intruders.
()
Finally, near the final nest, the Lt. places the case while the two privates kept watch and the Sarge grabs the two eggs. After placing the two eggs they teleport allowing the Lt. to close the case.
"Mission accomplished, such a shame we have to leave now" the Lt. sadly sighs. She really wanted to stay longer.
"Well honey, maybe next year we get picked for this mission again and we could admire the beauty all we want" One of the privates states.
"While trying not to get killed as well" the scared private added. The scared private walks up to the nest to get a closer look at the nest while his colleagues prepare to head out. Suddenly, a Hugh Nightlight dragon lands in front of him giving him a threating snarl.
"GUYS!" The scared privates calls out as he back peddles in fear while the giant fury slowly walks up still growling. The remainder of the team notices in shock, rushes up to their comrade and drew their weapons.
"You and what army big mother fxxxer" the Sarge taunts with his Tesla canon aimed at the dragon.
Another Fury, a smaller female lands right next to her mate to assist. The team were still confident as they outnumber the two dragons.
Out of nowhere, the male dragon's back start to glow blue. As it glows blue, the male lifts himself up on his hind legs to make a big roar causing the team to cover their ears.
The flocking dragons nearby heard the call as they flock to assist the fury family like a kings army.
"Oh God… we came across the alpha dragon!" the Sarge tells his team as they get surrounded by the dragon hoard.
"Oh God were screwed!" the scared private shrieks as he feels his heart rate increase. The Sarge however had a plan.
He looks at his team and tells them, "by the count of three I am going to blast those oversized lizards to stun them and we will make a run for it back to the copter got it!"
The team nods as the Sarge aims his canon at the Alpha dragon who looks at them with his snarl and counts, "3…,2.., 1!" and he shoots his canon directly at the dragon as the sparks of electricity chains to the nearby dragons knocking most of them out.
The team begins their escape as the alpha dragon recovers to fly after them to get back his eggs while being followed by the dragons to aid him on his chase.
()
As the pilots of the chopper were drinking their coffee they heard a voice in the intercom.
"This is Sarge to pilot, we are on our way begin your engines now! Repeat begin your engines now! We are being pursued code red!"
The pilots turn their head after listening to the intercoms to see the team running back into the copter. Once inside, the pilots begin the copter as the dragons begin to close in. One of the privates arm the turret to begin shooting at the flock of dragons as the copter begins its flight.
()
Up in the sky, the increasing hoard of dragon chase after the copter. The team inside the copter use their weapon to shoot down as much dragons as they can. One terrible Terror latches on trying to break in through the window only for the Lt. to push him off.
The Private on the turret kept on using it to mow down many of the flocks of dragons while missing the alpha one who manages to dodge it.
The Sarge tries to hit the alpha with his tesla gun but the dragon in chase is very intelligent not wanting to get hit by the object again.
"OH GOD THERE IS TOO MANY OF THEM! WHY ARENT WE OUT OF HERE YET!" the Scared Pilot complains while using his AR-15.
"IF WE GET OUT THE DRAGONS WILL FOLLOW US TO COMMAND AND WE CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN!" The pilot answers.
"Guys I have an idea!" all heads turn to the Lt., "I'll throw the flash bang V5 to blind the dragons who are following us? If so it could buy us time to use the tactical cloak"
The Lt. takes out a big grenade to show what she is talking about. It is a risky move but they would do anything to get out of the mess as of now. The Lt. opens up the window while the remainder of the team kept shooting. The Lt. takes out a big cylinder that reads, Flashbang V5 and shouts, "FLASH BANG V5 INCOMMING!"
With one big throw, the grenade makes a big flash of light shines so hard causing all the pursuing dragons to cover their eyes making them temporary blind.
()
After the flash dies out, the Alpha fury opens his eyes to see the intruders are gone. He and the other dragons land on the nearby surface. The Alpha looks around trying to find the trespasser but no avail. Tears start to come out of his eyes for him to make a big roar in agony as the intruders got away with some of his eggs.
As a reboot, there will be some changes throughout the story like Magi prime to become a more science based organization. And I hope to make this Planet of the apes but with dragons story through.
