Escape

[arthapenn]

Chapter 1

The lift door opens and a loud Boom! sounded behind a dragon and rider. Boulders and glasses started raining down on them.

The rider says, "Come, Wyntrgrene, we have to get in the lift or we will perish where we stand." The dragon stubbornly stood his ground. The rider slaps his face.

"I do not want to leave the boss or my father. But this is our only chance to escape from this pyramid. They will find a way to escape." The rider says. The dragon refuses to budge.

A well-timed broken glass fell on to the dragon's shoulder and the dragon roars. The rider picks up the glass and tossed it away from them. Then she enters the lift and another glass fell on the dragon's back.
This time the dragon follows her, and looks fearfully at her. She removes the glass and as she does so, the glass suddenly sinks in her palm.

"Ouch!"

Wyntrgrene roars, and the Lime Booster starts sweating beneath her mask. She feels her palm muscles tighten and pain shoots through her arm and shoulder. She kneels and cradles her arm to her chest. Then her vision blurs and she shakes her head. The dragon nuzzles her.

The lift door closes and the lift starts descending.

Like the previous lifts, there was a video. The video begins and the narrator begins speaking.

"You have entered The Lift of No Return. This lift will take you straight to the Realm of Hades, Lord of the Dead, Second in Command to King Mumm-Evra. Hades has served King Mumm-Evra for thousands of years, and is the younger brother of Zeus, King of the Greek Gods of Earth. Hades was made Second-In-Command, shortly after Evra arrived on Dragonis. He was ordered to guard the residential dead of Dragonis so that all dwellers on Dragonis will go to him, and he obeyed the order. As a result, many of the dead were delivered to him. Evra rewarded him with unlimited access to other realms, such as Percy World and Kingdom Hearts. Hades was pleased with this benefit and he promised to serve Evra faithfully until the End."



The Shadow Booster watches as the Wraith Booster pulls out a grey sphere from the side of her saddle and tossed it to Decepshun. His dragon looks puzzled at the Wraith Booster, and it drops to the floor. After a while, she mags it up and opens the orb to reveal a grey modulation gear. Roaring, she turns her attention to the cell bars and mags.
As the pyramid was collapsing, the bars were weak. It just needed a few seconds.

Thud!

The bars fell away with a loud clatter and the Shadow Booster walked out of the prison. Decepshun follows him out. They watched as the Wraith Booster pulls out a darkish color orb out, and were amazed as it opens up in battle gear. Her dragon mags the gear and decides to lead the way. Moordryd mounts his dragon, and follows the other dragon.

"Let's find a way to get out of this pyramid. I am getting tired of it, and while I am worried about my daughter, she will find a way to get to the City Above. She will not suffer the same death as my mother, I am sure of it." Moordryd says.

"If it comes to it I'll dig her out of the rubble myself." The Wraith Booster says as she periodically firing a dark blast at rubble to give them a clear path outside.



The lift door opens to reveal a gloomy-looking place, with a river running through it. It was a vast cavern, and a voice asks, "Where do you want to go? Kharon will take you where you want to go, but you need to give payment."
Kharon was a ghastly form of Rivitt, except he has blue flames on his head and with talons instead of hands.

Zulay asks, "What kind of payment?"

Kharon holds his right talon and says, "Kharon charges 5 bone dollars for humans and 3 bone dollars for dragons. You are still on Dragonis, but in places that are inaccessible to the residents living on this planet. Since the lift will not take you to the standard levels, I must ferry you now. But Kharon needs 8 bone dollars."


With the path clear, Des and Moordryd are in the home stretch but in the back of her mind she still worried about Zulay.


Zulay was shocked to learn that she needs to pay. Kharon extends his talon and flexes it, then she suddenly feels pain from her body. She yelled, "AHHH!" and kneels. She realizes her arm and shoulder were not hurting anymore.

He nods, "That will do." turning to Wyntrgrene, who was growling at him. He flexes his talon again, and the dragon roars. Zulay says, "You mean to say you take dollars from our bones?!!"

"I have been ordered to ferry you to Percy's Fate where you need to seek the owner. Seek him and he may grant you passage to Topside." Kharon says, withdrawing his talon and walking to the boat. Zulay shakes her fists, and growls.

Then she asks, "Are you okay, Wyntrgrene?"

he dragon nods and she leads him to the boat.



Decepshun steps on a skull-shaped tile, and a wall opens to reveal a beam extending to the top.

A voice says, "This will take you up to Topside."

Moordryd turns his dragon to the beam, and says, "I am getting tired of this place. Let's go."

Decepshun walks up the beam.


Once outside, Des turned to look at the crumbling pyramid, she turned and noticed that Moordyrd didn't follow her out the same way.


The moment she steps on the beam, Decepshun and Moordryd were transported to the draconium-rich portal room. They stared around the room, and notice it has two entry points. One was the lift, and the other was a large door.

WHO DARES ENTER THE SACRED ROOM OF THE ANCIENT SPIRITS OF DARK EVIL? YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER DRAGONIS AND WE WILL SEND YOU TO THE WORLD OF THE DEAD. YOU CANNOT REFUSE."
Then the door swings outwards, bringing a chilly wind to Moordryd and his dragon. A tall fiery wall blazed behind them, and the heat came close to Decepshun's tail, forcing her to roar.
Moordryd sighs, "Let's go through that door, Decepshun. We have no choice."

He drives his fearful dragon forward, and she obeys his comments fearfully.


"We may have to go get him." Des says, Thor roars in an offensive fashion and attempts to charge back in but the way they left, collapsed shut.

I can't wait for the next chapter.

[arthapenn]

Thank you for the input. Wait no more! Here is the next chapter!


Chapter 2

The pyramid seems to sink into the ground until there was only a stairway showing. The stairs were dark grey and too narrow for dragons. A spirit appears, and it was a newt-sized dragon.

The spirit speaks, "Enter Hades's world to find your crew member. Her father will find a way to your world. Enter Hades's world or perish where you stand!"

A lightning bolt struck behind the dragon, and the spirit repeats his warning. The Wraith Booster groans, and the small dragon disappears, only to reappear behind the other dragon. But seeing that the Wraith Booster has no intention of entering, he decided on a course of action. He changed himself into a hammer and lifting himself into the air, he starts pounding on the dragon's back.
He thundered, "YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING NOW EXCEPT TO GO FORWARD. YOU CANNOT TURN BACK TO DRAGONIS UNTIL YOUR COMPANIONS ARE WITH YOU."

However the Wraith Booster has other ideas.

"Actually there is something I can do....... stand still." Des turns Thor around and firmly plants himself. The hammer stops pounding and waits.

He says, "Your powers will work here, Wraith Booster. No one from Dragonis can use draconium unless they are physically attached to a non-resident. Even then, it will be too strong for them to handle alone."



Kharon propels the boat through the river, and Zulay could only look around at her surroundings.

She tells Wyntrgrene, "I hope I do not have to spend the rest of my life here. I wish to return to Aunt Cherie, and even the sight of The Leagues of Eight would be welcoming. This place is so deary."

The boatman banks the boat, and says, "You will see three lines, and one line will be crawling. The other two will be moving right along, and these are the EZ DEATH lines. These two lines will take you to the Asphodel Field. If you are taking the EZ DEATH lines, go under the Draghound's front paws and belly. You will get to two smaller lines, and a pavilion. On the left side, you will see a field which are for heroes only. At the end of the field, you will see gates. But you must not pass through the gates. Instead you must go left, and there is a cavern, with a chasm. Walk towards the chasm. Goodbye!"
Zulay and her dragon disembark from the boat, then look at each other.

"Are you ready for this, Wyntrgrene?" Zulay asks. Her dragon wore a frightened expression, and she tells him, "Stay close to me." They walked away from the boat.

After a while, Zulay sees three lines. Remembering what Kharon told her, she joins one of the fast-paced lines. She notices that one line was crawling, and she wonders where it leads to.



The spirit went on, "Wraith Booster, you seem frustrated. Okay, I will make it simple. Non-residents of Dragonis will be strong enough to handle the mighty powers ONLY if they are Boosters. You can go, but remember, you cannot return to Dragonis without the Lime Booster and her dragon, and the Shadow Booster and his dragon."

"Frustrated isn't the word, every action leads into something else." Des says having Thor fire a blast at the pyramid.

The spot where Thor had fired a blast crumbled until it was big enough for the dragon and his rider. It shook the foundation.


Far below, the huge Draghound starts barking, "WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!"

Zulay stops moving and stares fearfully at the huge Draghound, which was twice the height of her grandfather's dragon, Abandonn. She looks at the souls, and gasps, "Oh no! We have to pass under the draghound. Do we have to do?"
A soul nearest to her replies, "Gramps says we have to pass under the Hound before we can live our death time. He visited me years ago and I still remember. I am an elderly woman now, and I died in a whiteout, minus 23 degrees." The elderly woman continues limping towards the hound.

The souls closest to the hound parted to reveal a bone-clad version of Drakkus emerging from beneath the hound, and turns to look up. "What is the matter with you, Crebbe?"

Crebbe barks to his master. (A strong hit on our lobby. It shakes our home.)


Thor runs in the pyramid at full steam ahead ducking and dodging rubble and falling debris.

At the end of the passage, there were two paths. One heading left, and one heading right. A stream lies around the passage. In the center of the junction, there was an oversize desk and behind it, two Cyrano-sized Draghounds.

One of the hounds growls, "HALT! You must pay 8 bone dollars to Payn, and if you do not comply, Panycc will alert the guards! Payn knows you need to get to Hade's Home, Wraith Booster. King Mumm-Evra informed my master, and I have been instructed to order you to pay in advance. The path on your left will take you to Hades."
Blue flame surrounded the desk and Thor.

[sarah]

For real? Oh my gosh! The directions given by Kharon, it can't come from Lightning Thief, can it? But it is opposite.

[arthapenn]

Yes Sarah it is. It is for real.

Chapter 3

Swirling winds surrounded Moordryd and Decepshun. They could see that the land was deserted, and he says, "Do you reckon this is Mumm-Evra's world? He left the planet with his people and came to Dragonis."


On Dragonis, a voice yells, "STOP! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE? HOW COULD YOU PASS THE GUARDS? THERE ARE SO MANY GUARDS!"
Fangi howled, "MY MISSION IS DONE, MASTER! TAKE YOUR LOYAL SERVANT WITH YOU!" Then he disappeared for the last time.


"Uh huh, put it on my tab I don't do orders very well and I have more pressing matters to attend to other then you, you wanna alert the guards go ahead, I'll show you what dark war gear really does."

Panycc replies, "Very well, Wraith Booster. We will certainly put the payment on your tab. You may proceed. Go to your left. There is just one way through the caves." The flames died down. He and his friend watched the Wraith Booster leave their reception desk.


Hades turns around, and sees Zulay and Wyntrgrene. He says, "You! You are the reason why my home is shaking in its foundation. Well I will not stop you from going to see Father. Go ahead. He will not let any living soul leave this realm without seeing him. I am not allowed to tell you what his task will be. Now, pass under Crebbe my hound. Crebbe, let the Dragonis residents pass." The huge hound steps aside obediently.

Zulay says, "I don't know why Mumm-Evra's lift sends us down here. Your waterman also told me to seek someone, and you are saying it is your father? I want to know how do you know I will be here?" Hades folds his arms, "I am Lord of the Underworld, and I know everything that goes on around here. I know why you are here and I will let you go. Wraith Booster is on her way to rescue you, but she is forbidden to enter Tartarus."

Zulay drew on her mag power, but Crebbe growls loudly. Hades tells her, "No, Lime Booster, you are forbidden to use that in my home." She stops and leads her dragon through the doorway with her dragon observing the hound. The hound eyes them hungrily but he lets them pass him.


When Des was far enough away she whispered under breath "I'm sure I could make more then one way." She continued on. But she was not aware that there is a fork. She does not know that the fork leads to one narrow passage.


Payn shakes his head, "She will not feel it until she is in the Lord's Father's Pit. 3 bones from the Wraith Booster and 5 bones from her dragon. The Cave of the Dead has two forks. One goes to Lord Hades and the other goes to the Heroes Field. Before she comes to the fork, she will meet Kharon."


Zulay soon joins the queue and asks, "What is happening here?" A person replies, "The line from the left side of the judgement pavilion is much better. This one leads down toward a small valley surrounded by walls. A gated community which seems to be the only happy part of the Underworld. Beyond this security gate, you see neighborhoods of beautiful houses from every time period in history. This is Elysium, with a glittering blue lake with three small islands."
She tells her dragon, "If I ever get stuck, that's where I want to live with my father." Her dragon looks at her, shocked.

They left the judgement pavilion and moved deeper into the Asphodel Fields. It grew darker. The colours faded from their bodies. This was enough to make Zulay despair.

After a few miles of walking, they began to see a palace of glittering black obsidian. They kept walking towards the gate, worried that they may never return to Dragonis.

[ming]

*How did Zulay become the Lime Booster? Who is the Wraith Booster?* Good question, Mo. She is very curious about Zulay and Des. I would like to know them too. Well she is enjoying the story so far. Keep going.

Chapter 4

"Argh, how long does this go on." In the distance Des sees Kharon and Thor comes to a screeching halt. The hound growls at Des and Thor, with all three heads. His master was still with him, and Hades turns, "Ahh, you must be looking for the dragon and rider. Since you do not take orders, I will leave you to find your way. But you cannot enter Father's Pit until your friends have completed their task."


Zulay and Wyntrgrene saw the bronze gate wide open. They stopped in front of the gate and saw there were engravings. Zulay turns her face away, as the engravings were scenes of death. She looks inside to find a very strange garden, which has multicoloured mushrooms, poisonous, shrubs, and weird luminous plants. Instead of flowers, the plants had jewels in them. In the center of the orchid were pomegranate trees, their orange blooms neon bright in the dark.

Suddenly Zulay groans and Wyntrgrene looks at her.

COME, GREEN BOOSTER, COME TO ME. MAYBE YOU CAN BE PERSUADED UNLIKE MY GRANDSON. THANKS TO MUMM-EVRA FOR BRINGING ME BACK AND TURNING THE CLOCK BACK. NOW IT IS AS IF MY GRANDSON NEVER CAME WITH HIS FRIENDS AND I HAVE MY HELM OF DARKNESS. I HAVE A TASK FOR YOU AND YOU MUST COMPLETE IT. YOUR UNIQUE ABILITY WILL NOT WORK HERE.

Zulay kneels as her head was filled with the booming voice and pain. She screams, "SCALES!" "All right I will do your task."


"Then I'll wait at the door, patient, yes, stubborn, you bet." Des and Thor continue onward.

Crebbe growls fiercely at Des and Thor, as they passed under him. But his master silenced him with a big ball and the hound grabs it, before he starts playing tug-of-war.


Zulay and Wyntrgrene moved fearfully to the Pit.

I WILL GIVE YOU YOUR TASK NOW. THE SUMMER CELEBRATION IS HERE AND A FEW CHB MEMBERS ARE INVITED. UNFORTUNATELY, MY NUMBER TWO IS VERY SICK AND CANNOT GO. YOU MUST DO HIS TASK FOR HIM. YOU MUST STEAL MY SON'S WONDER BOLT AND GIVE TO CLARISSE'S DAD." A portal opened in front of Zulay and she asks, "Who is Clarisse?"


Des eventually made it to the end and as she thought the end was blocked by a thick door, Des and Thor waited.

[Deleted]

Love it can't wait to read more.

[arthapenn]

Glad you it like it, silvermoon, Min.


Chapter 5

Hades follows Des and Thor, saying, "This is my palace, see how black it glitters. What do you think? Placed in my throne room is my Helm of Darkness, an object that allows me to become a shadow."


Eventually, the locked door opened and Zulay emerged from it. Zulay turns to Hades, and question Hades, "Where is the Bolt?" Her dragon nudges her, and she looks at him. He nods to Des and Thor. Forgetting Hades for a while, she greets her boss, "Des! Thor! I am so pleased to see you! Where is my father and mother?"
Hades feigns, "What was that?" as he covers his ears.


A ghost appears in front of Moordryd and Decepshun. Decepshun growls, <Mumm-Evra! What have you got for us in this world?> The ghost snickers, "When was the last time you won a race? You disgraced the name of Paynn. You are supposed to be a winner!"


"I don't know where they are, but I'm going to guess that their path will not be an easy one. He has been put down all his life with very few praises from his father, he will have to look passed that and see is own accomplishments, his own successes, acknowledge the failures as a learning experience." Des replies to Zulay.

Zulay says, "Hades!" Her dragon nudged her again, and shakes his head. She sighs and a portal of some kind appeared in front of Hades' palace, and Hades says, "Oh look what we have here. This is how my nephew escaped from my domain."

HADES, ONCE SHE GOES THROUGH THE PORTAL, KEEP HER BOSS AND DRAGON IN YOUR HOME UNTIL MY SERVANT'S TASK IS DONE.

Hades cringes and Zulay sighs, "Come on, Wyntrgrene. Let's find this wonderbolt." Her stomach suddenly became violent and she groans. Wyntrgrene supports her, a sad look on his face.
<This is not a good idea, Zulay. But if we don't do this, we will never be able to see Dragon City again.> He tells her.

She replies, "Yes. Dragon City is waiting. Father has to settle his own matter." Then she steps into the portal with her dragon.


On the other side of the portal, they find themselves inside a camp.


"I'll be right here." Des says, Thor was not exactly happy with that response. Hades nods, "That is what I am told. You must stay in my domain until she is done."


At the campsite, Zulay looks around. Her dragon became a Great Dane-sized hound, invisible to other campers.
A voice calls out, "Hey, Luke! Why are you standing at the tents meant for the Big Three? It is time to leave for Mount Olympus!"

Zulay asks, "Who, me?" She discovered her voice has changed, and her dragon barked. But the bark was only for her ears. Wyntrgrene says, "You are no longer a girl, Zulay. You have changed into a boy!"

[Deleted]

Your welcome.

Chapter 6

"I have no intention of really going anywhere except home." Des tells Hades. Hades shrugs, "Suit yourself. You can go, but will Crebbe let you? The way my nephew left is shut to those who are non demi-gods."


Moordryd says, "If I can survive this, my father will never question my leadership again! No one will!" Then he drives Decepshun forward, and she obediently followed his command, passing through the ghost. Both of them felt intense cold, and he shivered.
For a while, she couldn't move. When she finally got feelings in her legs, Decepshun started moving again.

After a while, Moordryd tells her, "Finally, father, you will be proud! WHAT!" Ahead of him were standing buildings made of bones, and some of the bones came out of the buildings at Decepshun's approach. The bones started emerging from the buildings and started forming.

As the bones start forming, a huge Libris-like muhorta emerged from between the buildings along with a biped companion.

"CALL ME GODZILLA! FEAR MY FRIEND, DRAGON OF THE SHADOW!" The biped companion says.


"I'll take my chances, we came together, we leave together." Des says. Hades shrugs, "You can leave. CREBBE!" Loud barking shook the throne room, and the ground shook. Then the three-headed dog appeared, and Hades faced him.
"Crebbe, allow these guests to leave our home." commands Hades. The dog barked, and all three heads bowed in submissive.


Decepshun reared, but Moordryd was prepared for it this time. He held on to the saddle, and said, "Muhorta!"

The biped creature hissed, "SO YOUR DRAGON IS SCARED OF THE MUHORTA, IS SHE? MASTER EVRA WAS RIGHT. HE HAS BEEN WATCHING EVERYTHING YOU DO, FROM THE DAY YOU TRY TO STEAL THE BLACK AND GOLD DRAGON OF LEGEND TO THE DRAGBALL ELIMINATION FINAL. GODZILLA IS HERE TO SCARE YOU TO THE DEATH, DRAGON OF THE SHADOW!"

Godzilla roared, and raising his head, he fired a beam from his mouth. A ring appeared above his head, and his beam hits the ring. Then the beam was shot at the surrounding areas.

Decepshun backs away, looking fearfully at the beam. Unfortunately, the beam hits her and sweeps her off her claws. Moordryd screams, "Ahhh!" as he hits his head on the ground.


Des didn't move, instead she watched Moordryd and Decepshun, Zulay and Wyntrgrene face their challenges.
"These two have a challenge to face......... what must I face?"

[Deleted]

Keep going.

[arthapenn]

Chapter 7

The Voice boomed in Hades's head, and Hades suddenly looked fearful. He says, "You have challenges to face, Wraith Booster. Slay the Nemean Lyon, capture the Ceryneian Scavenger and Cretan Bull. Bring them to Eus, a member of the undead race, and he may grant your desire to end this."

The portal glowed brightly, and it opened its door, letting light into the underworld. Hades covers his eyes. The light 'caged' Des and Thor, before it is suddenly cut off.
Hades uncovers his eyes to find that the two were gone.


IT IS TIME LIME PAYNN. THE OTHER CAMPERS ARE ASLEEP AND YOU CAN PROCEED TO THE THRONE ROOM. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO STEAL THE WONDER BOLT. IF YOU DON'T, I WILL GIVE YOU NIGHTMARES BY SENDING MY FAITHFUL DRAGONIS PET.

Zulay shakes her head in denial, but she has no choice. She looks at her companions. As told, they were asleep. She gets out of bed and as if in a trance, she starts walking to the throne room.


"great.......... Rome, home of ......... i don't know, but I hate Romans. Thor I'm gonna have to imprison you so that I can this on my own..... ish. You probably wont like it but you can't handle a Nemean Lion." Des says as she imprisons Thor in a special draconium crystal and keeps him with her and searches for the lion.

A boy waits at the temple, which has an image of a dragon with a bolt-like-tail on the top. The boy watches the road, ignoring the other children as they poked fun at him, "My ma is making pork lunch. Want to come?" One of the children asks. Another child replies, "He does not want to come. Leave Indra to Indra. Indra will feed him." The other children laugh loudly, but the boy pays no attention.

Not long after they have gone, then he spots an unusual dressed person in the distance. He walks towards this person, and speaks, "If you return alive within 30 days, the town would sacrifice a lion to Zeus; but you do not return within 30 days or you die, I would sacrifice myself to Zeus. I had a dream that a non-roman will visit the town, and I believe it is you who will slay the lion."


Wyntrene watches helpless as Zulay walks to the throne room, and roars loudly at her to no avail. She keeps walking until she reaches the room. Once inside the room, instructions were being cast into her mind.
Expressionless, she spotted a pulsing bolt along with a helmet. She took the two items and fled from the throne room, with her helpless companion following her in dismay.


"*Sigh* how hard is it to usually find a lion of this nature...... I know Nemean lions are rare anyway oh well I'll just keep looking." Des says continuing to walk.

Women screamed as they were herded into the cave, and dared not look over their shoulder. They feared being bitten or clawed if they look behind, so they went inside.

A warrior heard the screams, and ran into the direction of the screams. He soon reached the cave, and enters it. After a while, he sees a woman and rush to her side. He asks, "Are you all right, my lady? Are you hurt?" When he got close, however, he discovered too late his mistake. The 'woman' turned into the Terror and killed him, but not before he has a chance to scream. The scream reached Des.


"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THE MASTER BOLT! IT IS MISSING!" cried Zeus. The gods were commanded to search for the thief.

Some time later, Wyntrgrene heard a sound from behind, and he looked behind him. He saw a mean-looking man behind him, and he nudged Zulay hard. Still in a trance, Zulay turned around to face the man. He challenged her to a fight, and she accepts it, much to the temporary draghound's dismay.
"Do not help me Wyn." She ordered him.
However, the dragon became secretly pleased she was outmatched, and victory went to the 'mean' man. She spoke, "As the Wonder Bolt is successfully stolen, there is going to be a full-scale war." The man was in awe of her words and spares her, on one condition. She is to give him the Bolt and the Helmet or he will not spare her life.
She gave up the Bolt and the Helm to him, and he took the two items with him.

[ming]

I have heard of Percy. Are you seriously following Percy?

[arthapenn]

Yes I am following Percy, and his friends, Grover and Annabell. I enjoy reading the first book and I wonder why I didn't pick up the book earlier. I borrow from a friend, and I have to speed up my story, so that I can return it to my friend.


Chapter 8

Hearing the scream, Des turns and follows the source of the scream. The scream lasted for several seconds but it was long enough for the Lyon-Class dragon to panic. The dragon growls, "I sense my killer is nearby. This gold-furred Lyon will not be killed easily even by mag-fury, so you better enjoy life while you still can." Then the dragon devoured his latest victim, and his home glowed, so Des will be able to find it easily.


A door appears in front of Zulay and the voice booms, "RETURN TO TARTARUS. BRING YOUR FAITHFUL HOUND WITH YOU." Zulay obeys and enters the doorway. Wyntrgrene follows her through.

In the underworld, Wyntrgrene looked over himself and found himself back to normal. He roars, <I am an adult dragon again! Zulay? ZULAY!"
Zulay lies prone on the ground, not moving. She was asleep but she was not aware of it. Instead, she was only aware she was getting nightmares. She says, "I swear never to fail you again."

YOUR PART IS OVER, DRAGONIS MORTAL. THE SON OF MESSENGER OF THE GODS WILL TAKE OVER FROM HERE. MY GRANDSON WILL BE COMING TO THE CAMP SOON. STAY HERE NOW UNTIL YOUR FATHER AND BOSS RETURN.


Des eventually saw the eerie glow and walked towards it very cautiously. The Lyon dragon just continues to eat her meal, unconcerned that the cave was glowing.


Wyntrgrene stands protectively over Zulay's sleeping body, and watches his surroundings very closely. Then suddenly he gave a cheerful roar.
He roared, <DECEPSHUN! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR LEG?>

Decepshun and her rider have just emerged from a doorway into the Area near the Pit. They collapsed onto the ground, and just laid there.


"Mag energy probably won't work so I'm gonna have to use something else I can't use my Ketbo Serugi.......... at least I don't think I can anyway." Des says cautiously entering

The Lyon stops eating and stands up, looking directly at the Wraith Booster. She growls, "Come and meet your fate, warrior. Your end is near." Then a muzzle suddenly appears and she rushed at Des.


Zulay slowly but surely begins to stir. She mumbles, "Hmmm, where am I? Wyntrgrene?" She gets up but knocked against her dragon's chest.
The green dragon steps away from her, and greets her warmly, <Zulay, you are awake! I am so glad. I was so worried about you. Your parents are back.>

Zulay turns to see her parents, then she gets up and rushes to her father. She shakes him, "Father! Father! Are you okay?"

Red eyes of the mask looked up at Zulay, and Moordryd speaks weakly, "Zulay, you beat Evra. I am proud of you." *coughs* "All you need to know is your mom and I took a sound beating. Right now we need to rest." She rests her head onto his chest, and the four boosters decided to sleep.

[ming]

You are mixing the plot with Hercules, aren't you? I don't like it, however, it is your story. I am sorry.

[arthapenn]

Disney's Hercules kindled my interest in Greek Myth, and I have been studying Greek Myth since Disney showed it. It is a wonder I did not pick up Percy's TLT.

Chapter 9

"Huh, so thats what you look like I've taken down lyon dragons twice your size." Des says holding her ground. The Lyon clawed the Wraith Booster and wrestle with her, trying to shove her down to the ground. She begins to hum loudly and her 'mask' begins to grip with poison, and she headbutted Des.

Mind talk.....
"You faced Big Brother? Show me what you can do."

Des gradually gets up and dodges the headbutt with only inches to spare. The safest thing that she could think of was to keep her distance, with mag energy being useless she had to think of another way to defeat the lyon. The Lyon roars and rushes to wrestle with Des, using her claws to dig deep into the Wraith Booster's body. Des managed to escape the blood had contact with the air so it became a highly acidic.
Lyon snarls and roars loudly, with her breath hot in Des's face. Then she claws the Wraith Booster's ribs.

"A bit hard to claw with no claws don't you think." Des says, her eyes glowing underneath the mask. If Lyon was surprised, she did not show it. She removes her mask with a blink of an eye and tries to bite the Wraith Booster.

"Way too slow. Hell chains can sprout up faster then this." Des says

Lyon suddenly found herself declawed, and she roars loudly, enough to be heard from a mile away. She withdrew from the Wraith Booster and began thinking on how to beat the persistent victim.

"I have an idea for you, give me what I want and need and you will live to kill another day." Des say cracking her knuckles.

"I will let Hercules slay me. But he will not be able to complete his task." Then the Lyon shred her skin and she tossed it to the Wraith Booster. She returns to her interrupted meal and resumes eating. The cave's mouth started showing glittering black palace, instead of the sun.

[gerbillover4life]

This is a good story, artha-san. I can't wait to read more.
