"Neitha-who?" questioned Brian.
Brandon pondered on the name, but it didn't sound familiar to him at all.
"Great," Vormen sighs.

"That explains how he almost destroyed everything last time, no thanks to Zemus..." Ganondorf said, "World breaker indeed. His smarts are the biggest thing too...he 'helped' with I became..."

"So there's more to it than what you explained before?" asked Melee.

"Yeah. Now I know why he didn't say his last name. Then again, he still has a lot of followers so it's hard to say," Ganondorf said to that, thinking.

"Terrific," I sighed.
The others didn't say anything to this.

Ganondorf started to sense something and said, "Everyone get inside. I think one of those clan members is trying to scope us out. My team does just that before hearing the wings of a dragon in the distance as well as a voice, "Again, they don't explain what I have to do! Their mistake as I needed to get away, forever!" A black dragon was seen as well as its rider, a woman that looks like she was in her twenties.   "Calm yourself, Athena," a voice came from the dragon, sounding like an old female "I tire of this 'game' they play with you as well. They should be more aware of how bitter they have become, as well blind of their actions." "Blind is not even cutting it, Bellona..." the women said before spotting the castle, "Wait...do you see that? That castle is...flying!" |

My group and I went inside the castle without a word.

"How curious...I don't sense any magic to make it do so. Have humans achieved the impossible?" the dragon spoke.
"I don't think they have gotten that far still...this is different. Let's land here and see if we can find anyone."
"Best be careful, my lady."
The dragon lands and looks around as the women ride. The rider spots almost endless rows of mixed flowers.
"It is beautiful...so well kept," she said, "Whoever lives here has more than one green thumb!"
"Focus"
"I'm trying...wait do you see that?"
"See what?"
"There's another castle to our left and to our right!"
The dragon looks at both sides, seeing a crystal version and a darkened version with what looked like a dragon's mouth entrance {Bowser's of course} and said, "Now I wonder if we are in danger and yet, I don't feel it."
"What do you think big guy?" I asked Ganondorf.
"I don't think she's a threat. Her or her dragon from what I sense. And what from they said, our enemy pushed them too hard. Should I greet our guests?"

"I suppose," said Brandon, "be careful, though."
"That goes without saying," said Zali.

"I'll go first then," Ganondorf said changing back to his more barbaric look before exiting the castle.
"Be watchful! Someone's coming!" the dragon said.
"If it's Zagan, I swear I'll-" the woman asked.
"Thankfully, no. I think it is the owner of the castle."
She turns to see the very clone walking over and getting ready to fight, just in case when she heard, "No need to get in arms. I heard you talking about the flowers. My friends helped plant them when we came here."
"You live here? I thought you were...oh sorry. If I was infringing on your property-"
"You did no such thing. You just surprised me that's all. Tell me, why are you here?"
"...I was ordered to help capture a dragon prince but..."
"But?"
"I'm tired of my clan pushing me around! Every time they send me to do missions it's to get me killed! All because I can't..."
"Can't?"
"Change to a dragon form! Ever since my birth, I can't change into a dragon form!"
"I have a similar fate..." the dragon said, "At my age...I can't change into a human form."
"My clan wants us both dead!"

Vincet slowly looked out the window at the visitors, trying to listen in. Hm, so their situation was different than his.
"You know them?" I ask the thief.
But Vincet didn't reply.

She soon fell making Ganondorf dash in to catch her, and this caught the old dragon by surprise, and said, "Oh my! You're quicker than you look, child! And with your size!"
"I get that a lot," the clone said then to the woman, "Are you ok?"
She didn't respond so the dragon spoke for her and said, "I'm afraid lack of any sleep is at fault here. Most places don't accept us because of our clan. Truth be told...I wish she led them and not..."
"Archion?"
This caught the old dragon by surprise, but she said, "I feared our reputation went far...and yet, you stand near me with no trace of worry. I take you had plenty of experience."
"And then some ma'am."

The dragon walked over and said, "She wanted to leave so badly, but they always kept an eye on her. All these 'missions' are to scare her to change form but it didn't work. I warned them she was different, but they did not heed. Now they want her dead so the missions..."
She stops and asked, "Tell me, stranger. As we traveled, we kept hearing of this clan comprised of copies...be it human or non."
Nova made a short laugh and said, "I don't know what's worse. Your rep or ours."
"Oh?"
"I am one of those copies. I go by Ganondorf. Don't worry, your friend is in safe hands here."

Vincent got off the wall and toward the rest of us.
"Well?" I ask, but received no answer.

"I sense pain from you," Nova said.
"Just my old joints," the dragon said, before seeing the clone place the woman down on the ground gently and got a bottle, and said, "I got something that can help."
He made a bowl from phazon and poured the potion into it before holding it out to the dragon.
She smells it before lapping it up before the slits in her eye widened and she said, "My word. The pain is gone! You are so kind."
"We make plenty of potions to help us out. Now for your friend follow me."
He picked up Athena once more and walked ahead, the dragon following.

He takes her to a special bed for a human and beast would stay and said, "Let her know what happened when she wakes."
"That I will," the dragon said, "You have such a kind soul."
"I try," he said, "Have a good rest."
He closed the door behind him and walked his way back to us.

"Are they going to be all right?" I question Nova.
{Good night.}

{later}
"They will be fine. I read into the young lady's memories and it's true. She can't change even though she is a dragon. I've heard of tough love, but that's a bit much."
He crossed his arms and said, "I'm in the same boat. All the training with my friend, I still can't change into this one form."

"What Broly calls Super Saiyan. I know I have a little of their blood, but I just can't change," he said, "I need something..."

"I'll say," said Brian.
"Hmm," Zali pondered, "what is it you need? Maybe we can help you look for it."
"I don't think it's that simple," said Brandon.
"Never know unless we try,"

"It's not about 'looking' for it. It's like I need some sort of event to wake it up," he said, "I have other things too so it don't help matters."

"I don't know how else to put it. He can change on the fly, but he said had a lot of pint up rage years ago. I...try not to go there...if not ever."
"When those guards surrounded us, it didn't help matters," I said, "Claustrophobia in a way. Thing is if he didn't get freed soon the other side comes out."

Upon remembering that made Melee Master glad she decided to remain in her secondary form, as claustrophobia was NOT a friend of hers either. Double points if the enclosed space was in total darkness.

"Best you don't," he said before we hear a chime and he said, pulling out his phone, "That was me."
He walked off to see to the call as we hear a knock, and I said, "I'll get that. Might be one of our clone friends."
