Seclusion has ducked down by now, laughing, then spotted the
fireball he had fired from the island. He smiled, the flew to it,
then behind it. He shot another bolt of flame into it, making sure
it would his Jade Mountain. Seclusion fired more flames into it,
forcing it to accelerate. Laughing, he ducked down again and landed
on the side of the mountain, slowly climbing up it. He wanted to
embarrass these two simpleminded queens just a little bit more.
Barry then suddenly comes out of nowhere ad tackles Izula, whacking
her head with his tail knocking her out. He then grabs Seclusion
and uses his magic on an object that sends him and Seclusion back
to the base.
Izula felt a sharp pain smash against her forehead, then everything
goes black. Her unconscious body hurtled down, back to Jade
mountain, and she crashed down at the entrance to the cave. She
lay, sprawled out, on the cold, stone floor.
I'm trying to think of a good signature, so... Use your
imagination.
(The new island is underwater. Phoenix gave out bracelets to
everyone that allows hybrids to breathe underwater so Seclusion
should have one as well.)
Fireheart had a vision of Seclusion fighting pure dragons and ran
out of the underwater base, passing a startled Phoenix and with
Graystrike right behind him. The two brothers rose out of the water
and flew up towards Seclusion to help him.
At the same time, Cinderclaws and Darkgazer flew out of the cave,
ready to attack the hybrids. Darkgazer could tell that Fireheart
was a seer due to her mind-reading abilities. Cinderclaws charged
at Seclusion, aiming for his wings so that he wouldn't be able to
fly.
Emperor flew up and was ready to ensnare the hybrids in her silk.
Queen Dragonfly and Queen Verglas followed.
Queen Holly flew out of the cave and flew over to Izula. She pulled
a few plants out of the pouch around her neck and placed them on
Izula's wounds and pulled out a strong-smelling one that she
combined with a few other things to make a strength potion. She
held it under Izula's snout to wake her up and make her stronger
when she did.
Seclusion spun quickly in the air, firing a bolt of fire and acid
every time he could see the queens. It resulted in something much
like a long range flamethrower, mixed with anything corrosive. He
roared toward the queens, "I wouldn't come to your meds of a
mainland even if I wanted to! It's running out of resources, you're
on the verge of war!" He started laughing, then suddenly dove down
toward the water, narrowly avoiding a queen.
Cinderclaws let out a roar of fury. His tail was lashing back and
forth and the smoke coming off of his scales seemed more intense
than usual.
Fireheart and Graystrike had dived back into the ocean.
Darkgazer appeared to be deep in thought. She flew back into the
cave at Jade Moutain to tell the queens what she had figured out in
the few moments she had to read the other dragons minds.
Queen Verglas, Queen Dragonfly, and Emporer followed Dargazer back
to the cave while Cinderclaws stayed outside of it so that he
didn't burn anyone.
"Alright, I'll be in the cave. I think Darkgazer had something she
wants to tell us." Holly said before turning and walking into the
cave.
Cinderclaws was sitting at the entrance of the cave. He could still
hear what they were saying but that was about it.
Darkgazer looked at all the queens. "I read a few of the hybrid's
minds while we were briefly fighting. Their new base appears to be
underwater. Unless we find an animus, only Seawings would be able
to go and launch an attack on the base." She told them.
Seclusion swam around the new base, a little trinket allowing his
to breathe. He explored all the nooks and crannies, all the caves
and crevices. He was just looking for a suitable wall for the
predictions.
Fireheart swam into the base. As soon as he entered, the water
seemed to vanish, leaving him and everything else inside the base
dry. He sighed and went to find a room for him and Graystrike to
share.
Graystrike went to the main hall and explained to Phoenix why he
and Fireheart had rushed out of the base.
Cinderclaws poked his head into the cave. "Couldn't we find an
animus? I'm sure there's more than just the hybrid animus."
Seahorse thought of sending her soldiers to the base. She wasn't
sure if her SeaWings alone could handle to powers of the hybrids.
Especially if they were smart enough to make an underwater base. "I
am not sending my SeaWings into that trap without any help,
considering this is everyone's problem, so you'd better figure
something out." She growled and turned to the other Queens
Barry plops his invisible head out in the surface, making sure they
weren't followed. After that he stealthily flies to the top of Jade
Mountain to figure out what they are planning.
Brightfire sees the dragons swoop into the cave. He goes to find
Fireheart to see what happened.
Stinger sees the other dragons all beat up. He goes down to Izula.
"What happened out there?" he asked her.
