"That there was a group that tried to attack Zali before. Didn't see me coming however," Nova said.
"No surprise there," I laughed.

"And you didn't take your gun?!" asked Luke to Zali.
"I had a knife stashed in my back pocket, remember?" Zali told him, "anyway, it must not have been anyone I knew. Didn't get a familiar smell in the air, anyway."
"What kind of an excuse is that?!"
"Well thanks for watching his back, then," said Tristan to Nova.

"Not a problem. It's great when you're able to sense danger," he said, then looks away, "And one that doesn't get the hint."
When he said that, the threat ran off.
"Or sense anything in general," I said to that.
"I can't turn it off. You know that."
"They might not just being after your ally. You're here to take curtain dragon to our place, correct?" Zelda asked.

"My senses hadn't dulled," said Zali, "though with everyone being after you for everything these days, you kinda get use to being threatened."
"You mean you knew of the danger?!" Samantha questioned him, "You're even more careless than usual, Zali!"
Zali quickly turns to Samantha and the rest of his gang, sharp teeth showing, "Name ONE day when we haven't been threatened by the rivals in the city we live in!!!"
The gang didn't answer him, but eyed him just the same, with Zali returning the same glare, as his fangs vanished.
"You get use to it," Zali said again and turns around, "and that's why I brushed off the danger yesterday."
"Zali, now that we know of the recent dangers, this isn't the time to be ignorant of them," even Brandon told him off, "please be more aware!"
"All right already!" he hissed at everyone, "Get off my back, would ya?!"
"And yes we are," Brandon answers Zelda.

"I'm riding the same boat when it comes to danger so get off his case!" Ganondorf said, annoyed.
"Shall we go then?" Zelda said, walking to the door.
I start to think to myself as this point.

"OK everyone," sighed Haku.
"Yeah, let's get a move on," sighed Zali.
Brandon nods at this.

"I'll stay outside. You never know," I said to see the two clones nod as they let Brandon go first.

"But where are you going?" asked Samantha.
"Look for clues about all this," said Brandon, then to everyone else, "are you not coming after all?"
The gang looked at one another, then Ed spoke up, "No. We'll hold down the fort for a while."
"No sense in all of us going out there and risk getting killed," Zali agreed, "remember?"
Brandon then turns to Ganondorf2, "Before I lead us out of here...what do you think?"

"Good point," I said, "I'll follow, just to keep an eye on certain someone."
"You never let up do you?" Ganondorf asked, "Good enough for me. I was starting to get nervous for your safety too."

Brandon chuckled.
---
"Sire!" spoke an armored knight, rushing down the hall of the castle, "sire!"
"State your business quickly," interrupted Archion as he walks in from a room.
"Our scouts have spotted a castle up north! Strong energy readings were detected within it!"
"What kind of energy readings?"
"I think we've found who we're looking for," Zagan walks in from behind the knight.
"Details, Zagan," commanded Archion.
"A dragon with a red mane," said Zagan, "vanished within a castle to the north of here. It matches the description of the dragon image in the temple."
"You'd better be right," Archion swiped his claws on the cobblestone wall, "Zagan, prepare the troops and head out!"
A shadow was seen before a black and red dragon made itself known, landing at the entryway of the castle. As Archion walks over and opens the castle doors, he was greeted by said dragon, blood on it's muzzle. He walks over and rubs the dragon's snout as Zagan jumps on it's back, and took off into the skies, followed Archion as he changed form. The rest of the knights followed as well.

Ganondorf sensed something strong as well and stopped in his tracks.
"I don't like that reaction," I said.
"Zelda, keep an eye on the others. I better get back to our castles," he said and starts to walk out.

"Something wrong?" asked Zelos.
"I'm sensing something, and it's not good," replied Haku.
"All right, then let's get moving," Zali said to those who were heading out anyway.

I start to call someone quickly on my phone before hanging up and following the others. Zelda was worried as well but does the same.

Zali, Brandon, Haku, and I, change into our true forms and take off into the air, which Vincet and Zelos grabbing onto a dragon and jumping on their backs.
---
As the clan made their way across the ocean, they spot a black castle in the distance.
"Bingo," Archion smirked as he and the army of dragon knights swooped down, surrounding the castle.
Archion jumps off the dragon and rams his shoulder into the castle doors, ripping them open and creating an echoing bang. The knight army charge in and began to storm the place, only to slow down their movements to a halt, realizing that there wasn't anyone inside. They look around to see an array of gothic décor and furniture that appeared to be very old, but surprisingly well kept.
"No one's home," said one knight.
"What the hell would a dragon do with a fancy place like this?" asked another.
"Quiet, morons," hissed Archion, "I sense someone here."
One knight spots a shadow run past the army, putting him on alert and raising his spear, "Show yourself!"

Zelda and I change forms as well and follow closely.
------------------
"Understood!" said a small man, "I'll send out our Pokemon teams when you need them. Do you still have your part as well?"
"Yes and G2 as well. Be ready when I call you," Ganondorf said.
"Roger that," the man said as the clone took off once more to catch up with us.

Me and my group continue to follow our instinct to where ever it was leading us. --- That's when a shadow creature appeared from the darkness and grabs one of the knight's legs, dragging him into said darkness, his screams fading. "What the hell was that?!" spoke one knight. Zagan bared his teeth at this, before the creature steps out from the shadows, holding a severed head of the knight in question.  "Charge!" shouted another knight, he and three others rush after it with swords and spears in their hands, only for the creature to vanish in thin air in a cloud of darkness, making the knights stop and look around. Archion and Zagan look around with weapons drawn as well. "Either we've been beaten to him," Zagan spoke, "or the legendary has friends." |

Ganondorf flies with now and said, "I called back up just in case."
"Good. We'll need it," I said, "If it's them again..."

"No doubt about it," sighed Vincet as us dragons continue our flight, "we'll need all the help we can get." --- Archion growled, "Split up and search every nook and cranny of this castle! Find that godd*mn dragon!!" A snout jams through a hole in the walls, catching everyone off guard, and teeth catching one of the men and dragging the screaming knight out of the castle, throwing him into the sea. "Whoa!" Archion sees the head of the one that killed the knight jammed into the castle, revealing to be the one they were after.  "This is no place for humans, or creatures like you," he hissed, teeth bared, "GET OUT!!" |

I hear this shout and said, "Move!"
"On it!" Ganondorf said and took off ahead, getting me mad for a moment, but in this case, I allowed it.
Zelda followed behind me as well.

The rest of us followed without second thought.
---
Archion and Zagan weren't phased, however.
"We went through hell and back finding you, great dragon," smirked Archion, "I think you owe us some compensation...Tikal!"
"Excuse me?" Tikal c*cked his head.
"I ask of you, great dragon of legend," Archion bowed, "to join us in our fight against the ones who's ancestors caused destruction on our clan and our home."
Tikal remained silent, teeth still bared as he studied Archion, then turned to the other knights, who also bowed in respect, although some were shaking in fear. Unfortunately for them, Tikal was not amused, sensing darkness in their hearts.
"Your intentions bare ill will," Tikal replied, moving his body and causing bits of the ceiling to crumble, making the knights scatter to avoid them, "now leave!"
"What's a dragon like you doing with a castle like this, anyway?" questioned Zagan, showing no fear.
"I owe you no explanation," his patience was thinning as he wrapped his body around the castle in preparation to use force, "get out...or you will be killed as well!"
Archion looked around to see that all but one exit were blocked off by Tikal's body, knowing that he and his group were at risk of getting killed. He then got an idea, "We ask of you to reconsider, and join us on our quest to overthrow a tyrant prince and reclaim the land that was once our own!"
Hearing this, Tikal didn't reply, as he knew better than that. 'Tyrant Prince'? The only prince he knew of was Brandon, and he was certainly the opposite of a tyrant.
Just what the hell was going on anyway?
Then he got an idea. Maybe if he played along, he'll get more info out of this. Cutting his losses, Tikal replied, "Tyrant, you say? Fine, I'm listening,"

Ganondorf sensed something had changed a little, but didn't say anything about it. It might be a good thing.

"We've heard a great deal about you, Tikal," said Archion, "you were the dragon who fought with the ancient river dragon, who happens to be among the prince's many subjects, and wants nothing more than to spill your blood and conquer our home."
"So...you've come to me to clean your mess?" Tikal questioned, "and because I once opposed the river spirit?"
"We humbly ask of you to join us in this fight," Archion bowed, "join us, and you will be greatly rewarded for your efforts."
Great, another fool looking for revenge that's guarantee to fail. Let alone, Tikal knew the man was lying. Oh well, he was bored anyway. Deciding to humor them, Tikal questioned, "And just what kind of 'reward' could you possibly offer me?"
"Ultimate power," he replied, "and we can and WILL make that happen!"
"Weak," Tikal hissed.
"What?"
"Your kind does not call me 'the great dragon of legend' for nothing," he replied, "do not mock one with such a powerful title!"

Ganondorf sensed something big heading their way, and knowing who it is he shouts, "Maxwell, incoming!"
"What?!" I asked in surprise.

"Christ!" I shout in my mind as I overheard, "We don't have time for this!"
Zali looked around to try and maybe catch Maxwell off guard to help everyone stay on track.
---
"My apologizes," said Archion, "but if we didn't know you to be a powerful entity, we wouldn't have come to look for you."
"Don't change the subject, and toss the disgusting flattery," Tikal warned, "my patience with you is near it's end. Now, briefly, what of this 'tyrant' you speak of, and what is my reward must I assist you? Is vengeance your ultimate goal here?"

"Don't get in arms yet!" Ganondorf said and sure enough, Maxwell was flying behind us.
"Out of my way! Archion is mine!" he shouts, now in rage once more, catching his scent.
"Yes sir," Nova said and did just that as did the rest of my team.

I also caught the scent of 'dead blood', and it made me almost throw up, but I manage to keep it together. Soon, a black castle was in the clear. A shiver shot down my spine as I recognized the castle, but kept silent. Great, Archion really IS after...
---
"You could say that," said Archion to Tikal, "but I assure you that you will benefit from this as well, great dragon,"
"And if I refuse?" Tikal questioned.
"Let's hope we will never have to cross that bridge," Archion replied.
"In other words; betrayal means certain death," Tikal thought to himself, "Fine, I'll play along for now." then back to Archion, but before he could say yes or no, he quickly turns to the hole he made in the wall.
"Sire, something's approaching the castle!" one of Archion's knight followers spoke out.
{And I'm out of here. I'll see you later.}

{Later} We could hear a slow whistle from Nova making Maxwell smile and say, turning his head to the clone, "I will use that," then shouts, "The song of death comes for you Archion!" "Big guy...you know how to scare me too..." I said, now nervous, Zelda as well. {I didn't see the movie...but this...works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVbyQkn6GWg } |

Tikal quickly makes himself scarce by diving into the ocean that surrounded his residence, just in time for Brandon, Night Stalker, and myself, to fly in and surround Archion and the castle in a circle.
"You have no where to run, Archion!" Brandon's voice was heard.
Archion steps out of the castle and onto a balcony, looking around at us as we continue to circle Tikal's castle. Brandon was on the lookout for the mage, too, but didn't see anyone, although he caught a whiff of his scent.
"Oh no," he replied sarcastically to both Brandon and Nova, "whatever shall I do?"
A red and black winged dragon darts out from the sky and attempts to attack the group by shooting fire at us, forcing us to dodge.
"That dragon!" Night Stalker hissed as he did a u-turn and stares the dragon down.

Nova was hit by the flame, but he just brushes it off and asked, "Is that all? Calamity, show them something that I can do, but they can't."
Darkness formed around the clone before the being flew into the air, staring down the dragon.

"Aurora!" shouted Archion.
The dragon dives down and Archion jumps on her back. Both then caught sight of the dark being.
"I see you have tricks as well," he replied as the dragon flew up and faced us that were in the air, "fine."
Night Stalker shot off a blast of green fire at Archion and Aurora, in which the dragon managed to dodge and shot a blast of fire of her own right back at the blue dragon. He took the hit in the chest, but brushed it off with a huff.
