The Price of Revenge: A Bloodstained History {closed temp}

[ganondorf2]

"Then why do you not go and take your two dragons back from me? Hmm? They are living life with me much better than you. Explain that," he continued to taunt. He then waves one claw toward himself, a smirk on his face, though a little hard in this form right now. He'll get used to it.

Back at the castles, all the clones come out before nodding to one another and taking off in different ways.

One of the monsters that Nova summoned waves me down and I nod, saying "Got it. We'll be with you."

I turn to the others at that point.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Those two traitors left on their own accord!" Archion replies.

"And they were right to do so, as did I!" Vincet shouted back at him

"Sacrificing your own men in the name of vengeance?!" Brandon agreed, "How low can you sink, Archion?!"

"Yeah, what kind of a leader are you?!" Even Samantha tries to egg him on.

Unable to stand this anymore, Tikal quickly turns around and wraps his body around Zali, constricting him and flying toward the fortress. My group and I see this and rush out of the way as Zali was slammed into the ground.

"Zali!!" shouted Sparky.

"Stay back!" Zali ordered as Tikal releases him and flies in the air again, suspending himself.

Zali just laid there as he attempts to catch his breath.

"Is that all the fight you have in you?" asked Archion to Zali, "How disappointing."

[ganondorf2]

"They left because of you! Your lust for revenge has blinded you! You know what? You're just wasting my time! Challenge me when your thoughts are more clear!" Ganondorf said, then looked at Tikal, firing a warning shot at him, "Unless you want to lose another dragon to me..." he then sends thoughts to Tikal, blocking it from anyone else, "Go and recover. I wanted him to change targets and away from Brandon anyway."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Your words mean nothing!!" shouted Archion.

Tikal was about to fly in and nab one of the gang members until he sees a warning shot come at him, missing his head. Hearing Ganondorf's thoughts, he figured that the clone was the one that fired the shot, and nods in response.

"Consider yourselves lucky!" we hear Tikal's voice as he prepares to fly off.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?!" Archion shouts at Tikal, right before he sees the fortress shake.

[ganondorf2]

Ganondorf laughed at this and I said, "You better go. I don't think you want to deal with our clan, that's coming in droves."

"Your weapons are nothing but dust now anyway," Broly said with a smirk.

"Yet ours are fine," I said with a smirk of my own.

[Shadow Dragon]

Due to the damage the stronghold sustained from the dragons repeatedly slamming into it, it was starting to slowly collapse. Bits of cobblestone began to fall from the roof.

"Heh, some stronghold!" Tristan mocked.

Samantha charges inside the fortress, changing to human form, and shouts at Zali, "Zali, you guys need to get out of here!"

"Idiot!" shouted Zali to Samantha about her returning to a COLLAPSING building, "All right, let's move, and hurry!!"

[ganondorf2]

Ganondorf flies in close to us and I get the hint, saying, "Get on him, now!"

My team jumped on Nova's back, ready to ride out.

[Shadow Dragon]

It didn't take long before the fortress's structure officially couldn't withstand the damage sustained, and it began collapsing in on itself at a faster rate. The enemy knights that were inside were taken out by chunks of large cobblestone and debris.

"Hurry up!" shouted Zali to Samantha, knowing that she didn't have time to transform to fly herself out, nor did he have time to go back in and nab her.

Samantha hisses as she tries to make her way out of the fortress, until she sees a giant piece of cobblestone above her begin to fall, making her scream out in fear.

---

Tikal was suspended in the air, however, out of sight as he watches as the fortress began to collapse on itself; a satisfying loss to a group of power hungry idiots. That is, until he heard a scream coming from inside. Recognizing the voice, Tikal bolts down toward the fortress, body concealed with a black aura.

---

Time seemed to have slowed down for the female dragon as she shut her eyes and awaited her fate, until she felt a force against her body, and the sound of the falling stone a few feet behind her. She loses her footing, causing her right ankle to break in the process as she slams into the ground. Something, or someone, had dove in and pushed her out of the way. Panting, Samantha looks up, seeing a figure stand above her, covered by leather fingerless gloves, and barely able to make out a face as it was in shadow, but sees a dark aura around him as it vanished, and was able to make out the long red hair.

"Vin-cet?!" Samantha breathes out in pain, knowing that she had been pushed to safety.

"Stop lollygagging and get the hell out of here already!" was all the stranger said before running away from her, though unaware of her injury.

Samantha fell to the ground, pain shooting from her broken ankle as she turns her head, only for the view to be blocked off by a falling piece of concrete from the roof of the fortress.

"Vincet, wait!" she shouts, "Please, I can't move!!"

[ganondorf2]

"Curse it!" I said, "Broly!"

"On it," he said and flew back to find Samantha.

[Shadow Dragon]

Samantha tries to crawl her way through the collapsing fortress until she sees Broly from outside and shouts, "Over here!!"

[ganondorf2]

"I got you," he said and carefully picked her up. He fired energy shots at pieces of the building that were about to head their way and flew off with her in his arms. Ganondorf waited for them both this time as did I

[Shadow Dragon]

Samantha covered her head at the debris from the shot that Ganondorf had fired. She wraps her arms around Broly's neck, firmly but not enough to hurt him, holding on for dear life as she looks around the collapsing fortress.

[The Melee Master]

Flying around the falling debris herself, Melee makes it out of the fortress and catches up to those who made it out as well.

[ganondorf2]

{Was busy tonight}

He was surprised when she did that action, but it didn't stop him from getting out of the area.

"Stay with me," Ganondorf said as we start to fly off.

The sayian nods as he held on to Samantha.

[Shadow Dragon]

The fortress now collapses entirely, concealed in dust and debris and the loud crashing sounds faded as they got further away. I turn my head behind me to see them, as well as the collapsed fortress.

"Is everything all right?" I ask.

[ganondorf2]

"One of us is injured, no thanks the collapse," Ganondorf said, "We got the best doctors, so this won't be a problem."

"What about you?" I asked.

"I'm going to keep guard around our castles. This new dragon form makes it easier at least," he said with a laugh.

"And your work of those machines?"

"It's been done, just need to call them in. I think Brandon and I will have to share one of them at one point," He pauses for a moment, "I wonder about that voice that gave me this new form. It's the same one that told me to make those machines in the first place."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Yeah, after all that, it might be a good idea to keep watch on our bases," Brandon said, "I'll have to do the same with mine, too." Then he turns to Ganondorf, "Share one? What do you mean?"

"First let's get where we need to be and get Samantha checked out," Zali told everyone, "and anyone else who's injured from what happened, I recommend doing the same."

"We're OK over here!" said Tristan as he flew with his gang.

"I'm good," Sparky called out, riding on my shoulders.

[ganondorf2]

With a sly look, Ganondorf said, "You'll see. Lets land at one of the castles."

"Which?" I asked.

"Bowser's might work out for us."

"We might get some questions on that..." Broly said

"Because of it's doorway?"

"You could say that."

"Let's not waste more time. I worry about the monsters you sent out, however."

"Don't worry. They won't harm our allies. Heck, one such monster is perfect for a guard," the good clone said.

[Shadow Dragon]

"And what monster would that be?" I ask with curiosity.

[ganondorf2]

"They are called Lynals. The gold ones more so for this problem," he said, "I'll show you one later."

"I think I see Bowser's Castle," I said, "He must be repairing the old doorway."



"Must be. Kind of a shame. The head he used had a bit of charm to me," Ganondorf said with a little disappointment, then spots someone waving them down, "Speak of the Koopa."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Looking forward to it," said Zali.

"What happened to it?" I ask, then see Bowser himself waving us down.

{I'm out of here for the night.}

[ganondorf2]

{Later shadow}

"Probably in for repairs. It's more than just a door way," he said as he flew down close.

"Nova?" Bowser wondered, "Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me. I gained a new look," he said.

"Did you have to have a new form without telling us?" the koopa said in a tease.

"If only. I don't know who, but this person gave it to me...I'm going to be bothered about this..."

"Well that explains a few things. Strange creatures popped out of no where in the castle."

This made the dragon clone, slap the palm of his claw to his forehead and said, "Any damage?"

"Funny enough, no. Those lion things scare me a little though."

[Shadow Dragon]

The gang lands in a clearing, Sparky, Zelos, and Vincet jumping off their backs as us dragons change to human form, save for Samantha since she couldn't revert to dragon form due to her ankle injury. Ed lets out a whistle, "Nice castle you got here!"

"What kind of creatures?" asked Zali as his gang looks around the outside of the castle as they land.

Haku changes to his human disguise and looks at Bowser, "Sorry for the invasion, your highness, but we're in need of your help, if you don't mind."

"Are you always this rude in your human form?" asked Sparky to the river dragon.

"I just get straight to the point, especially when it concerns an injured teammate," Haku then walks over to Samantha, gently grabbing her ankle, which made her pull back in fear, "it's all right. Try and be still."

"What are you-" she watches as Haku gently places his hands on her ankle, examining the damage.

I watched as he did this, remembering that he once did the same when Ganondorf2 broke her ankle when we arrived at the island and first met Haku.

"Ankle's fractured, all right," Haku sighed as he backs away, "we'll need to play it safe and bind it up, but you won't be able to do anything for a while."

[ganondorf2]

"No problem here," Bowser said about the rudeness, "Just be glad I came out here first." then to us, "I have a spot for your friend inside. I can show you the way if you like."

"That would be great," I said.

"Oh by the way, Link was looking for you Nova."

"Kind of a bad time, being a different looking dragon and all," he said.

"Zelda told him, don't worry."

This made the clone laugh and said, "Should have known."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Yeah, I really appreciate this," Zali agreed.

"I wonder what he wants," I pondered after hearing the conversation.

[ganondorf2]

"I wouldn't be surprised it's the event I caused," Ganondorf said, with a nervous chuckle.

"No it's about those dragons you had here at the other castle...Athena and Bellona I believe. They disappeared just before the sky turned red for that short time," Bowser said.

"Wait, they just disappeared?" I asked.

"By that look on your face, you have no idea about this. Link spotted them here once everything cleared off."

This made our small group think.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Where do you think they were heading?" I ask.

[ganondorf2]

"No clue," the koopa said with a shrug.

"I thought I heard someone," a voice was heard and we saw someone walk out. {It's pretty much Link, but I'm not going to bother with a picture as it's the BtoW look and everyone knows that by now}

"Sup, Link?" I said.

"How's it going yourself?"

"Well..." Ganondorf starts to explain, but the warrior puts his arm up and says, "Don't worry about it and you're wondering about those dragons, they aren't far. They went back your place. They had something on their minds however. Might be best to check on them and soon."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Been a while," I said with a smile.

"Likewise," said Brandon, then at Ganondorf, "Yeah, at least before anyone else gets to them first."

The gang members look at Link, but didn't say anything.

[ganondorf2]

Link looks back and asks, "Can I help you?"

"We need a little help yes. A young lady needs to rest her foot," Bowser said.

"Oh, by all means, come in. I'm just in the way," he said, moving out of the way.
