It's short, sue me.



Anomalies, mass quantities of them… too much for even three dimensions to handle, nonetheless a mere sector of a planet. I opened my eyes, a bit stunned and starry from the blast. Looked like the rip was still passing. Everyone looked around, laughed at the scene a bit, but then got serious.

"Sam, I need a full analysis," I said out loud. It didn't sound the same but I guessed after a while being a dragon makes it completely different then being a bird. Five seconds had passed… she wasn't there?

"Kaz, you plot hole digger!" Kovu called over.

"Quiet you fish!" I called back. "AHEM!" I said to no one in particular.

"What do you expect me to do?!" A rude girlish voice yelled out. A fairy, which was only a glow with wings, a very rude glow. I guessed it was Sam, she had been converted to the genre.

"Greeaat… a new character," Tobias complained.

"New character nothing!" I'm outta here!" Sam retorted and just disappeared. "By the way, don't expect my help very often,"

"Huh?" I asked. There was a forest now, but this wasn't the same thing! "Ack!" I thought as I was again rudely transported. This time it was blank, except for a faint light in the distance and fog… so much fog! I was transported back to the party by cold water. "Whew, everything checks out… I looked around, Coppertop, Ducky, Kovu, and Tobias," I said. Ducky looked a bit different, but I couldn't place my feather, or scale on it.

"Does anyone think we should actually see what's going on here?!"

Bravo kaz. ducky wait and write after this chapter

time for four days to pass......



Chapter 8



Where was I? It is hard to remember. It is so cold....The ship had taken off and I was helping Kovu plot the course. It had taken awhile but we had gotten in laided out. The only problem was determining the galaxy's that represented the dimensions. It wouldn't be wise to go somewhere that could hinder us if we could help it. We had decided to go to the nearest galaxy besides the one we were in. It was easy to tell what had happened. Everything except Frostbite had turned black and Frostbite was succumbing fast. Evil.....we had to leave. The shout came.



"Dark wave heading this way!"



It was Ducky. I turned and looked out the back viewport and saw it coming too.



"KOVU! PUNCH IT!"



The accleration threw everyone against the back wall except Kovu(who was sitting down). The wave kept gaining ever so slowly. It would have been on us in minutes....except it happened....



"I'm given her all she's got Tobias! She won't take much more!"(cheesy star trek line rip off...heheheheheehhe)



The engine exploded. The ship went spiraling down and out of the waves path. Kovu eventually managed to stabalize the ship. We made our way to the planet.



3 days later....(at midnight it will be the forth day)

We were two hours out of the planet. Flying doggedly on one engine. But we had made it away from the evil....away.... The closer we got to the planet the brighter it got and the hotter our remaining engine got. Fate had deemed it to happen as it did, the other engine bite the dust. We plummeted downward towards the surface......



4:00 PM



The crash had been horrendous. The ship was ripped apart. They had been lucky to survive. I didn't have to worry....I was already a spirit. It was 2 hours after the crash we met the inhabitants. Dragons....they welcomed Kaz. Not the rest of us. We stayed away while they took Kaz into their camp. Prisoner or guest? Was the thought.



8:00 PM



No sign of Kaz. It was getting late. Everyone went to bed for the night. Only Ducky was still awake.



TO BE CONTINUED....



continue from your P.O.V.(point of view) Ducky

Ooga. Me? You had to let Kovu write before me, Didn'ya, he always makes me look like burnt toast...

Sniff.





I lay awake, thinking over the past few days. Everything had sort of gone fwooosh right by me in a whirl and I was confused. I though about Kaz, wondered when he'd be back..a dragon, a short one no less. I tried not to laugh. Come on, it wasn't funny, Ducky...I flopped onto my back and looked at the stars. They were multicolored. I could see CT, or what remained of CT, out of the corner of my eye. She gave me the creeps everytime I looked at her. Like Tobias, but I wouldn't tell HIM that. I think the gills flattered Kovu, not to mention it was quite convenient.

But as for me..I shivered. I thought I had an idea what was going on... but I didn't see how it could come in handy on this...quest? Venture? what was it, and now I couldn't even remember how I'd gotten myself into it.

It was dark out. I heard some crackling...Kaz, maybe? I pulled myself up and looked around. A faint light from the weird moon played over the sleeping figures of my friends, I'm ashamed to say I tried not to look at Coppertop..she looked odd, a pile of bones there. Where was Kaz, maybe I could get to sleep if he came back. It was getting very late, probably past midnight now..I was surprised how fast the time had gone while I dreamed on. I fiddled with the edge of my cloak, trying not to think about the obvious, the unimaginable..I felt a weird tingling sensation, like the one I had felt when when all that odd stuff happened to us..I shook my head, trying to clear it. More crackling.

"Kaz?" I said, softly. Tobias twitched.

I sighed. Clutching my staff, I slid down and laned against something sort of hard. I was finally getting tired. I blinked a little, forcing myself to forget what seemed to be true..I was getting younger.





Hmm, la dee dah..sorry :P

Well, I guess this'll have to do.



Ever since we had landed, (more like crashed), I felt uneasy. I couldn't tell if it was a being a dragon or being short. Things were different now, I was shorter, still red, but why wasn't I blue instead? It didn't matter… what did was that we landed on a planet with no identification of rabbits… yet. Strong magic, almost enchanted magic, flowed from the planet, the grass was green and the forest greener. Anyway…

After the ship crashed dragons had came to greet me… I liked the guys for their kindness, but they smiled too much.

"Ah, a … fellow dragon!" The biggest one of them said, he was about half a wing taller than I was. (Why must I be so short?!).

"Uh… hi," I answered back. I didn't know them and looked back Tobias only to see his face of concern.

"Ahem!" the leader commanded me to look back at him. "Your friends are not needed now," He said coldly. I decided to go with him before they torched anything else. A battle had taught me that coldness isn't something to be underestimated: Especially with dragons. I looked back again somewhat waving. They had already started camp without me. "After all… What's the worst that could happen?" I said to myself.

Their city was breath taking… everything was made out of gold, silver, and some things copper. As we entered, I saw the entire population was made out of dragons. Most of the dragon's scales were colored maroon or brown, but a few orange, yellow, dark greens, or black… which scared me. I followed by the leader like a companion, but it didn't feel like it. As we went further into the city, I noticed some more dragons smiling at me, but it was a suspicious smile. The snickers on their faces laughed at me, although I couldn't really tell if the laughing was because of my height or they were hiding something.

"… Colorful city…" I tried to compliment and tried to shut out the muted laughs. The leader grunted and kept walking… I just remember I never got his name. "Hey… what's your name anyway?" I asked politely as I could.

"Fireball," He coldly replied again, he was maroon and I would have chosen another name for him. Conversation ceased by then… the buildings were a bit strange. Most of them were made out of large bricks instead of just a giant wall, and there were no office buildings, although I doubt personification would go that far. We reached Town Square to a 2-story building. I stared at it, the windows were made of crystal, the roof also of crystal.

"By the way, what I'm a doing here anyway?" the beauty of the town has just made me numb to the fact of what the others were doing. Fireball looked at the others. I turned around and noticed how many more dragons had come to follow. "Ack!" I just realized to myself! They were all dark dragons! I knew it!

"Ha… you just walked in and expected everything to be fine! Haven't you fools learned yet not to trust anyone?!" The leader laughed in a dark evil voice, he was now dark too. The sun was setting unbelievably fast and everything was beginning to get dark. It was like a thundercloud had just drifted into a picnic. They were all surrounding me as I though of a way to escape.

The sky! I thought to myself. It was one place they weren't blocking. I jumped up surprising high as I've seen many others do when they are in a tight spot.

"Idiots! Who was taking care of air guards?" Fireball lashed out and several dragons jumped up and started after me. Flying was very easy, it would have been easier with thermals from the sun but this would do. Everything was going easy; I'd be back by sunrise if I learned how to fly well enough. Everything was going well, until they started firing. I wondered where the others were as part of my wing caught fire.

"Where are you Tobias, Kovu, CopperTop, Ducky, and all the rest of you… where are you?" I said in agony. The burning ceased on the wing and went onto my back. "Geez! Get some mouth wash!" I tried to at least be comical in my unwilling decent…

Burning… that's the last thing I felt before the dark claws caught me and knocked me out. Where were the other guys?

Chapter 11: Attack!!!!(<---name)



Kaz had been gone a little to long for anyone's liking. It was the next morning and no sign of Kaz. Ducky had been up late and thought she saw some flashes in the distance and had figured out what was wrong with her. I had done some calculations really fast and possibly inacurate but still they said Ducky was losing a year a day and it took effect at 11:59:59. Everything had been revealed that was happening to us. After finding out we all decided first priority was to get Kaz! The rough version of a camp was dealt with and we departed. Within an hour or the so the dragon city came into view....it shined in the light of day. As we came closer we were able to make out guards guarding the only way in. Someone had to distract the guards so the others could get in.



"I'll do it.", I said.



"No you won't you know exactly what the crap has happened that's causing all this!", yelled Copper.



"Yes well the fact remains I'm not solid. Nothing can kill me as a spirit cannot be killed thus I make a logical choice.", I said.



"Go ahead.", said Copper.



I left. Both the dragons seemed dark.The closer I came the more assured of it I was. I pulled back my spectral sleeve and pushed the button on the machiene on my arm. It powered up. I leaned back and punched at the air which promptly shattered. The machiene had worked,thank goodness, reality could be breached temporarily. I drew out my laser and fired in between the guards to get their attention. As the gates turned to ice they began to chase me so I took off. I saw the others make it through the iced gates so I stopped.



"You want me you got me!", I said as I powered down the machiene.



"So you thought you could get away from us eh?"



"I should have known I couldn't ever beat such magnificent creatures as yourselves. Go ahead and take me in to be killed."



The dragons attempted to grab be to no avail as to the fact I wasn't solid.



"If your not gonna do your job then I'm gonna do mine!"



I marched off angrily and through the nearby wall into the city streets. It wasn't hard to find the group. Hearing shouts like: "Catch those outsiders!" and "Kill them!" lead me straight to them. It was far downtown I guessed by the time I found them. They had finally ditched their pursuers.



"Pretty city huh?"



"Not when your being chased by half a dozen angry,fire-breathing dragons it's not!"



"Oh sorry."



After everyone had recuperated from the chase we set out to find wherever Kaz was being held prisoner as we now believed him to be. It took suprisingly little time to find the jail. The problem was getting inside...



TO BE CONTINUED LATER TODAY.....

I will.



I surveyed the building infront of me. "Nasty," I commented. All the excitement had snapped me out of my shock. Due to the fact that I wasn't feeling any different, I was resigned to the fact that I was a skeleton. For now.

A passing breeze rippled my cloak and hummed through my few showing bones. It felt wierd. Tobias wavered in the wind, and Ducky shivered slightly. I didn't think it was very cold, but I guessed that was a matter of opinion.

"Tobias, can't you just, like, WALK in and get Kaz?" I asked uncomfortably. Tobias remained quiet, but Ducky gave me a look that I would have returned if I hadn't been so occupied.

"Get real, Copper," she scoffed. "Tobias could get IN, but how's Kaz going to get OUT?" I thought for a minute.

"By flying?" I offered hopefully. Kovu laughed. It sounded strange to me.

"Copper, this place was BUILT for dragons. They would've taken precautions to keep the prisoners in."

"Oh. Right." I subsided, and gazed up at the barred windows that punctured the building at regular intervals.

"What if Kaz melted the bars and got out?" Ducky said next. I cocked my head to one side questioningly.

"With what?"

"Fire, of course," she said sensibly. I sighed softly.

"Does he even HAVE fire?" Ducky shrugged.

"We could ask." I nodded slowly. At least I still had Shale under that cloak of mine; it was changed to a slim, long blade with strange writing on it but it still had the green jewel. And once you turned invisible, you didn't have to keep touching it. I hesitantly told my companions this. Kovu agreed reluctantly with me.

"It WOULD help us get in. But what about getting to Kaz's cell?" I shrugged.

"Tobias?" He glanced at me for the first time.

"It might work. That is, if Kaz has fire."

"Can't we steal the keys and let him out? That'd be easier. . ."



Gotta go. C'ya, and Tobias, continue soon!

Fine, if no one else will continue, *I* will:



"Are you there?" Tobias asked in a hushed shout, and his misty form grew out of a wall.

He turned, and saw a hard faced dragon guard him in the face.

"Aaah!" But then it's form fell in a heap on the slime covered floor.

"Ha! Fooled ya!" Copper chuckled, who had been holding the unconcious guard up by his

neck. Tobias slapped his incorporeal forehead.

Being a fish, I easily was able to squish my

leathery flesh through the bars of the gate.

And Ducky, who was younger now...looking fiveteenish, slipped through the bars, designed

for the wide around dragons. Tobias sighed deeply,

"We're never going to find Kaz if you scare me like that!"

"You're a ghost! You should be scaring us!" Copper commented whispily.

"Okay, I'll go locate Kaz, then come back here, you guys monitor the gate." Tobias commanded.

"Righto." I said, as I handed odd, sweaser shaped blasters to Copper and Ducky.

"Why would dragons keep blasters?"

"Incase someone had a asthma attack." Copper

stated. I laughed at that, which seemed to disturb everyone, so I cut it short.

"O-okay, I'll be off now." Tobias faded deeper into the prison's halls. We waited around for a agonising twenty minutes, until

we saw the whispy form floating our way once

more.

"Well?" Copper shouted.

"I have the information...it was rather intresting the way I got it." He snickered evilly.

"Yea, yea, we can talk about it later, where

is he?" I interjected.

"Second floor, medical ward, up..." Tobias pointed up, incorporeal mist trailing, to

a room that could be seen from the large, open hole in the ceiling.

"Question is, how do we get there?" Tobias mused.

"I know," I turned to Ducky, who now looked like she was ten.

"Yea?" She pondered.

"What if you used the blasters," I pointed at the sharp ends on them,"to scale the wall,

they could probably hold you're weight now."

She looked at me as if that was a insult, but understood.

"Copper," I twirled around to face her,

"what if we dissasemble you're bones, and we

throw you up there?"

"DISSASEMBLE MY BONES????!!!!"

"Well, you're a skeleton...you can do that, right?"

"Well...I guess."

-----

"I swear, Kovu, after this is all over, I will kill you..." Copper's skull, which lay

indepentant on the floor, said to me, as Ducky and I(Tobias couldn't help), chucked

her bones to the upper level. Thank goodness

no one was awake, or the people in the ward

would've heard the clack of the bones.

Then I snatched up Copper's skull.

"Hey! Be carful..." I began chuckling madly,

"Just throw me!"

"Wai--*hehehee* wait a minute *ahem*, alas, poor York, I knew him well, Herashio."

"Koooovuuuuuuuu!"

"Okay, okay." I finished my little act, and hurled the skull to the second level.

Tobias began to float up, and Ducky began to

climb, as I lept in the sewage system and began swimming.
