"I'd hate to know who or what," said Sparky.
"Wow, whoever it was really had some beef with that dead dragon," spoke Kyle.
"This isn't funny, man!" hissed Brian.
"You see me laughing?!"
"Sure," answered Brandon to Ganondorf and ignoring the others, "because I'd like to see what happened, too."

He nods, and knelt down, and placing his hand on one of the dragon's bodies before closing his eyes.

Brandon attempts to read Ganondorf's mind as this was going on. --- Two drunken taverners were walking the dirt trail, stumbling and laughing as they exchanged jokes. They were stopped when a dragon lands on the ground in front of them, having a rider on it's back.
"Eh? Who are you?" asked one of the drunken ones.
"Lookin' fer a fight, are ya?" another drunk takes out what looked like a butcher's knife.
"Would you be so kind as to point me in the direction of His Highness's castle?" spoke the rider.
"We ain't know nothing about no castle," he slurred.
"We ain't even from here, so you're out of luck, BUB!" spoke the other, "now git out of our way befer we make ya!"
"Hey, wait a minute," the drunkard took a closer look, "that dragon... No, that's-"
"So it WAS you!" the other took out a knife the size of a cleaver, "You're the one that burned our home to the ground!"
"Hmm, so there were some survivors after all...but no more," spoke the rider.
"Fergit the knives!" the other tavrner shouted, his eyes turning to slits and teeth turning sharp, "we be going at this the old fashioned way!"
The stranger jumped off the dragon as the other two dragons in front of him reverted to their true forms, snarling at him and the other dragon.
"Pretty brave, for a bunch of drunk dragons," the man rose his staff and pointed it toward the two, "kill!"
The dragon rushes in at the two dragons, slicing it's head off with it's claws. The other dragon lets out a roar of anger, then later one of pain as the enemy dragon dug it's claws into it's chest, ripping it's heart out as it dies quickly. |

Ganondorf growls to this as he got up and said, "No good...What is that guy?"
"What? The attacker isn't human?" I asked.
"A dragon rider too...that staff he holds..."

"Well THAT explains the number of dragons at the tavern last night," I said, "they were hiding from whatever killed this one!"
"We could've told you had you had asked," said Zali.
"Well whatever it is, I won't let it go unresolved," spoke Brandon, "if that guy is a threat..."
"He was looking for you, your highness," said Brian.
"I'm well aware."
"Then would it be all right if we helped out? I mean, as an apology for the trouble we caused you guys, uh, over half a year ago, I think."
"No, this is something I need to handle as the leader and protector of my kingdom,"
"Now don't be like that," said Zali, "I'm not going to sit by while our own kind is slaughtered like sheep by those who have no business in this kingdom of yours!"
"Zali..." Samantha blinked.
The gang fully expected Brandon to stand his ground on his answer and braced themselves, but instead, he gave a smile and replied, "All right."
"So what's the plan now?" asked Ed.

"I might have to ask a few of our new allies to join us on this," Ganondorf said, pressing buttons on his left gauntlet.
"Have you told them of one that's with us?" I asked, slyly.
"You had to spoil it, didn't you?"

"This might bring bad memories of a certain fight," Nova said, before turning to the prince, "Do you wish to see it?"
"Warning, it's pretty big," I said

"Very well," he said and walked off into a clearing before turning to face the group and shouted, "Calamity!"
Darkness covers the clone in massive amounts as well the sky started to turn blood red, the weather also became harsh as this was happening as well as the ground shaking.
"He did warn you," I said.

"What's happening?!" questioned Sparky as he tries to maintain his balance despite the shaking ground, as did the others.

That's when a massive wave of purple smoke appeared out of Ganondorf as he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Calamity Ganon. Said to be of hatred, rage, and malice. My version is none of that, but a little warning if you anger him." The smoke changed to look like a boarish snake and roared into the air before looking down at the group, but does nothing more.  |

"Yeow!" the gang raced back toward everyone.
"What in the-?" I start.

He flew down, his massive head now behind Nova as he said, "I just shortened his name to Calamity and once I call him out, you know I mean business. He adapts to problems as well as I can tell him to shield someone and trust me, I don't think they handle having to breathe in poison or get suffocation. I found out he's been in me for years, but never 'woke up' to put it simply until my team was in danger on a massive scale. That's when he appeared. Honestly, I panicked when it happened the first time, but quickly found out he won't hurt a fly unless I tell him to do something...I confused one fellow that was with us on that."

"Whoa!" was all Luke had to say.
"...Just what the hell have you all been up to since we last seen each other??" I ask with a blank look, before hearing a hiss of pain from one of the gang members: Brian.
"You OK there Brian?" asked Zali, turning to him.

"It will take a while," Ganondorf said, before hearing Brian.
Calamity tilts his head to this and I said, "You ok over there?"
{I better go. Later}

{Ah, I wasn't paying one bit of attention tonight, I was so wrapped up in this! lol! OK, later!}
"Do any of you feel...like some kinda pressure is pressing against your body?" he asked.
"No," said Luke, his hand on his head, "but I have a migraine all of a sudden."
A burst of red aura was then seen in the sky and began to pulsate, causing it to spread out and vanish, as if it were never there.
"Uh, ya'll seen that too, right?" questioned Tristan.

"I did feel like I was being pushed," Ganondorf said.
"Same when it comes to a headache," I said.
When we saw the red light, amongst the red sky of Calamity, we both said, "I did."
"I fear that...rider had spotted us," Ganondorf said.

Getting a chill in my body, I was about to reply, until a red and black colored swirling vortex in the sky opened up, turning into a swirling tornado, and began sucking up everything in it's path. "What the hell is with this weather?!" yelled Brian, before a scream was heard and we see Samantha being pulled into the tornado. "No!" Sparky and Brian both rush toward her, grabbing both her arms, only to be dragged off the ground and headed toward the swirling vortex. I was about to transform and go after them before a white blur was seen out the corner of my eye. A long bodied dragon was seen heading toward the two gang members.  |

We were about to help, but seeing this, we didn't move. Even Calamity stayed put, knowing what it is.

Using water droplets from the twister, the dragon takes control of said droplets, forming them into ice cicles and shooting them at the cyclones, causing them to disapate. The dragon then rushes in and wraps it's body around Sparky and Samantha before they were able to fall to the ground.
"Haku!!" I shout with a smile.
The river dragon flies toward the ground, allowing Sparky and Samantha to jump off and onto solid Earth, panting.
"What...the hell was THAT?!" Sparky gasped.
"You two all right?!" Tristan and Ed rush to their friends.
"I'm OK," panted Samantha, turning back to where the cyclone was, before turning to Haku, who lands on the ground, bowing his head as he lets out a gentle hiss.

Calamity does the same as Haku, amitting a soft growl. Nova and I stood by, just in case. Calamity might have done something that got Haku's attention or the red light, we don't know.

Brandon walks toward Haku, "Haku, they said? So you're the river dragon of the spirit world, yes? I've heard quite a bit about you." Haku bows his head in response, before changing to his human disguise, granting him the ability to speak.  "Hello, your highness," Haku spoke. "The formalities aren't necessary, Haku," assured Brandon, "especially given your status as an ancient river god, you outrank me." Haku lets out a playful smile, "So my status even extends beyond my homeworld." Panting, Samantha turns to Haku, "Thank you! Thank you so much!" "Yeah, thanks," Sparky also panted, "but who are you?" "It's been a while," I smile. Sparky sighed, "Of course you all know each other..." "It's a long story," |

"I has been, indeed," I said.
Ganondorf also bowed and said, "Apologizes for the new look I have and my new friend here. I hope we didn't stir up too much trouble."

"Not at all," Haku replied, "I just hope everyone's fairing well."
"Same with you, for pete's sake!" I told him, "You...I mean, you were..."
"What's going on here?!" a voice questioned. I turn to see Vormen walking toward us and stopping, "Haku?!"
"Hello to you too," Haku smiled.
"I heard the commotion," he said, "But...why are you here?"
Haku was about to reply before falling to one knee, holding his right side and with a pained look on his face.
"Hey!" Zali rushed over to him, "What are you-" he places his hand on Haku's side, then releases it after feeling something warm and wet. He looks at his hand to see blood on his palm, and turns to the river dragon to see a deep wound on his side, blood staining his cloths.

"You hurt yourself doing that didn't you?" I asked.
Ganondorf reaches into his armor for something, Calamity flying over with worry himself.

"No," hissed Haku, "it's a former injury, I guess it reopened."
"What?" spat Zali.
"We...we were attacked, and when I followed the scent of the one that did it...it lead me here."

"You missed him then," Ganondorf said and got out a potion. He wasn't going to give him his other healing way. Not yet.
"Curse it," I mumbled.

"Probably so," Haku strained, "I...actually, I'm glad to have...run into you all."
"Hm?" that caught my attention, "Why so?"
Haku panted a bit before trying to relax by sitting down, being careful of his wound, "I can't say here...but I know someone who can explain. I...recently discovered it myself."
"What are you talking about?" Vormen asked.

"Take it easy," Ganondorf said, handing over a bottle, "Take this half of this potion to heal if you need to go quickly."
