Chapter Twenty Seven

It was five in the morning when Bethany, Kamui and Subaru waited by the docks with bags on the backs. Bethany hadn’t told them how they were going to go but just told them to move their a$$es and wait. Bethany looked around reverently, expecting Sarah to arrive with the dragons.

            “Where’s the boat?” Subaru asked.

            “I-It’ll come soon.” Bethany replied.

Bethany exhaled through her nostrils and tried staying calm, knowing the twins would sense her uneasiness. She then heard the familiar flapping of wings in the air, catching her attention. She spotted two flying figure approaching them, making her get excited yet uneasy.

            “What’s that?” Kamui asked, his blood red eyes gleaming.

As the figures came into view, the twin’s eyes widened. Twin dragons approaching them and the twins prepared for a fight. Before lunging, Bethany stood in front of them and said “They’re friends.”

The dragons landed easily on the docks, Sarah hopping off and approaching them, looking at the vampires fearfully. Bethany put a hand on her shoulder and said “They need to get out of here.”

            “O-Okay.” Sarah said nervously.

            “This is our ride home?” Kamui asked.

            “Their names are Hiccup and Patricia.” Sarah explained. “They’d appreciate it if you called them by their names.”

            “I looked forward to riding with you, Hiccup, Patricia.” Subaru said politely and the dragons allowed him to stroke them on the snout. Bethany followed Sarah onto boarding Patricia, Kamui and Subaru on Hiccup’s. Patricia flapped her long, large wings and began to be lifted off the ground. Once up, she took off, Hiccup following.

            “Just follow me Hiccup.” Sarah called back, Hiccup making a snorting noise as a reply. Sarah kept her hands on the neck of Patricia, occasionally poking her in the side of her neck to indicate where to turn or yelling over the raging wind when to go faster or slower.  As they flew through the smoke covered skies, Patricia began to act up along with Hiccup.

            “Patricia?” Sarah asked.

Patricia didn’t listen as she suddenly dived with Hiccup following. The passengers clung onto the reptilian beasts, the force of the winds pulling them up. Suddenly, something inside Sarah flashed before her eyes, her irises turning a dark purple and a purple bubbled surrounding herself, Bethany, Subaru and Kamui in it. She instantly fell asleep, her head hanging.

            “Sarah, Sarah, wake up!” Bethany said, her voice echoing. As she looked through the bubble, she could see different types of dragons flying past her all carrying all types of things, mainly explosives and food.

            “Sarah!!” Bethany said, shaking her but she wouldn’t wake up.

Dragon Queen….War….Rachel….Jaya….Help…. a  voice suddenly said, bouncing around the inside of the bubble.

Sarah’s thoughts…. Bethany thought, easily identifying the voices. From her so called reincarnated memory she recalled someone who was always the damsel in distress in the Vampire and Dragon Queen wars; a girl who always stuck by the Dragon Queens side and healed all her wounds.

            “Bethany!!” Subaru called, she could somehow hear the twins panicked voices despite the fact that all sound was blocked out.

            “I’m fine.” Bethany called back. 

            “What happened, we’re in a mob of dragons!” Kamui said. Looking closely, Bethany saw herself in the very nest of the beast, completely inhabited by large rock pillars and rivers flowing with lava. Despite the bubble she could feel the heat, making her sweat and her throat go dry. The dragons dived in unison, dropping their spoils into the raging lava pits.

            “What the hell….” Bethany said leaning down and trying to snag a peak. Patricia suddenly made a sharp turn making Bethany nearly fall off but she was grabbed by the arm and pulled back in place. Sarah had woken up from her sleep, looking a little dizzy.

            “You okay?” Bethany asked.

            “I-I think so…” Sarah said.

Patricia landed and hid behind a large rock, Hiccup following. The purple bubbles popped silently, letting the twins race over to Bethany and hug her, happy that she was alive at least.

            “Are you okay?” Subaru asked.

            “I’m fine.” Bethany explained.

            “What’s going on?” Sarah whispered, she turned the corner and peaked out, watching as the dragons dumped their spoils in one after another. The dragons swooped away and landed atop their favorite perch, hiding into the shadows. As Sarah scanned the area, she spotted Cilan have a blind fold over his eyes, his hands tied behind his back and trying to get his hands free.

            “Cilan…” Sarah muttered.

            “Huh?” Bethany asked.

            “N-Nothing, I need to get you out of here.” Sarah said.

            “What?” Kamui asked.

They suddenly heard a bellowing roar echoing through the kingdom. Sarah took them by the forearm and pulled them down, shushing them.

            “Stay quiet!” Sarah demanded. She got up, stroking Hiccup along the neck and he followed. She told Patricia to stay where she was as herself and Hiccup came out.

            “Sarah…My medicine…” a voice bellowed. Sarah quickly ran to them but slipped, but Hiccup caught her before she fell on her back. Sarah quickly raced to the pit and called down “U-Uh, Yasmine you need to calm down.”

            “Holy s#^! that’s Yasmine?” Bethany whispered, Patricia growling softly in fear. A large clawed hand arose from the smoke covered pit. A large dragon head arose from the pit having narrowed eyes and dark scales, long black spikes going down her spine and her chocolate eyes glaring down at her.

            “I’m tired….” The beast that was Yasmine growled.

            “Yasmine just stay calm.” Sarah said, taking a large first aid kit from behind a boulder and dug through it. Looking closely, Yasmine appeared weak and tired her blackened scales and her spikes going up and down in agitation. She laid her head on the ledge and groaned. Sarah pulled out a single red pill and said “Open up.”

Yasmine grumbled and opened her jaw, Sarah timidly tossing the pill in. Once Yasmine swallowed the pill, she grumbled and slithered back into the pit. Sarah raced back to Bethany and said “Come on!”

            “What the hell was that?!” Bethany said.

            “Come on!” Sarah said, pulling her along and hopping aboard Hiccup and taking flight, Patricia following with the twins on her back. They escaped Edolas and made their way through the mists and towards Pandora.

            Rylie was rallying the troops, getting them in order and ensuring they were ready for battle. She was counting the weapons till she felt a tap on the shoulder. She turned around, finding Soul in battle armor.

            “I wanted to wish you luck.” Soul said. “I’ll be there to back you up.”

            “Thanks Soul.” Rylie said.
Soul only smiled as he followed her out of the area with the weapons. The armies were all aligned and ready to do their practice battle. Rylie took out her guns and pointed them at Soul, soon asking “Wanna spare?”

Soul took out his scythe and got ready, a sly smirk on his face. Rylie took first fire, firing her bullets but Soul easily deflected them with his scythe blade, charging forward. The two soon engaged in hand to hand combat, Soul knocking the guns from her hands and trying to land a kick on her shoulder but Rylie shielded her shoulder with her forearm. She grabbed his ankle and flipped him, laughing all the while. Soul spun, bringing Rylie down and the two were soon rolling around in the grass to see who could hit the other. Soul was soon on top, pinning Rylie down. They gazed down into each others eyes, breathing heavily. Soul then leaned down and kissed Rylie, making her freeze. The kiss was short and sweet as Soul pulled away and soon rolled off, on his back.

            “So, you think we’ll win this battle?” Soul asked, trying to hide his red face.

            “We have to.” Rylie replied.

The wind blew by, sending the smell of rain and leaves pass by. Rylie then heard the sound of a twig crack, making her go on alert. Soul was too relaxed and she didn’t want him to panic.

            “Hey Soul, can you check if the men are ready for battle?” Rylie asked.

            “Sure, where’re you going?” Soul asked.

            “Uh, I just wanna take a walk.” Rylie replied and dashed off. Soul headed back, thinking that kissing her so suddenly must’ve scared her off. Rylie trotted through the forest trying to remain quiet. She had grabbed her guns along the way, getting herself ready. She heard something dash by, making her spin around and point her guns up.

            “Whose there?” Rylie demanded.

Something suddenly pounced from the bushes, grabbed her around the neck and chocked her, trying to cut off her air. Rylie started beating the unknown attacker with the head of her gun and kicking at the air. She then saw the unknown man or woman take out a sapphire jewel, shoved it in her mouth and tried making her swallow. The jewel went down and soon the attacker ran off. Rylie grabbed at her throat and tried coughing the jewel back up but the jewel just slithered down her throat until it dropped into her stomach. She felt her eyes dilate, hearing voices all over until the weather began to rain, the raindrops soon muttering kill, kill, kill, kill….

            Rylie rose from her spot and walked back to the kingdom, her eyes a deathly color now. She returned and declared “We’re going to kill the Dragon Queen….”

Soul turned back and noticed the dark aura surrounding her. He squinted towards her and soon asked “Rylie, you okay?”

Rylie turned, smiling a shark toothy and replied “I’m perfectly fine Soul….”
