Alpha Shadow - Alpha and Shadow Part 7 (Wolf AND Jasmine)
_____________________________________________
"My Queen, I have the most extrodinary news! I knew you would be pleased."
I expect that everytime. But, what is this news?
"We fullfilled your request. Me, Bronus, and my army have taken down the last Golden Rune."
Hyrith?
"Yes, my queen. As proof, I come bearing with his mask, after he plunged into the sea."
And the body?
"His corspe is at the bottom of the sea, my queen. Sadly, the other riders have escaped."
Without their leader, they are nothing. Good work. Go, and make sure your friend Nemesis' recrutement is still progressing.
"I will, my queen. I will."
____________________________________________________________________
"Hyrith! Hyrith!" Ak flew down to the water, and called our friend's name again. When the Shadows left, Ak insisted that we had to find Hyrith, so we all went to search for him as a group. 1 hour passed, and we still found nothing. I could still not get over the fact that Hyrith made me leader. I, well, I don't think I'm the leader type! I think that I'll lead the team off course, and we'll fail! "There!" Jasmine called, and she scooped something out of the water. A gleaming blue scauldron scale. She clutched it, and there was silence. After a few moments, Axtar, from above, piped up. "We can't just spend our time just trying to find him, we need to go!" Diamond Rider nodded. "Wolf, we can't just stay here. We lost the windsong, and we flew away from the fortress. We need to get back on track." I sat up straight. My heart was filled with determination, and I spoke to the team. "We will finish what Hyrith started. We'll find the base, defeat the queen, and escape. This was planned. Let's go." Ak crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. "Right, what could possibly go wrong?" My hope then melted into a puddle. "Well, uh, we could-" Diamond Rider put his arm on my shoulder. "Don't worry, it's all not on you. We'll carry the burden. What do you say, leader?" I smile. Lets go.
"Ak, do you have the feather?" Ak nodded. "Here it is, Wolf. Are we still going to track that feather-ball halfway across the world again?" Diamond Rider smiled. "Yeah, that's our best shot. We need to get the windsong, and chain it down, then when it leads us so we can see the base, we let it go. So, the Windsong?" Axtar suddenly then spoke up. "Uh, pals, I know I love fighting and all that, but is it just me or is that the windsong, and is it heading our direction at top speed?" I instantly face forward. A windsong was flying toward us, and it roars, wind blowing at my face. "Scatter!" I shout, and we all flew in different directions. Winter chirped, uncertain. "Its ok, boy. We just need to-" I couldn't finish my sentence. Since when could it summon a... TORNADO?!
"YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Jasmine screamed, and the tornado hit us. "Everyone, stick tomethur!" Diamond Rider shouted, but he was muffeled by the sound. "Ereyoone, met so da eye, or a lenter!" Axtar shouted. Wait, say wha? "What?" I shouted. I saw Ak wiz past. "The center, mor da eye! The win dant affe os at a thenta!" WHAT?! A dragon then slammed on Winter's side, and suddenly, I wasn't blown away anymore. Huh? "The center, Wolf! The wind can't affect us here!" I looked to my left. Jasmine smiled, arms crossed. "Don't you know any science?" I then look to my side, and gulp. " WINDSONG!" I fly to the side, the shadow windsong grazing Winter's wing. Winter screamed, and slammed his tail on the Windsong's side. It screeched, and got slammed nearly into the side of the tornado. It almost got pulled in, but flew back out. I grinned. "Hey Jasmine, know how to play slammer?" "Wolf, this is not the gaming time!" "Same concept. You know when you play, two people are in the middle, and one has to push the other out of the ring?" Jasmine's eyes then widened and smiled. "I get your drift." We both then faced the windsong, and charged.
Personally, I think I was the hardest to control. Winter was huge! He was in the danger of being sucked in to the sides, but he still held on. But the best part? I don't think the windsong noticed. The first blow delt? The windsong was taken by suprise. He was slammed back, but flew back up again. He roared, but we held our ground. The dragon then dove under, and slammed Winter in the chest. Tip? Never agitate a Stormcutter. Winter got mad, and fired a blast at it. It dove to the side...and Jasmine slammed it into the wall of the tornado. It tried to escape, then we heard a shout. "Get in the tornado, you chicken feather face." We saw Axtar in the blur, and Sparklebolt grabbed it and swung it deep in the side. Jasmine flew to the side, and Sparklebolt's tail lashed out. Elsa grabbed it, and pulled her out. Axtar growled "Three on one." She looked up, and we saw the shadow dragon spiral up, then dive down.
As it dove down, Winter grabbed it. The shadow struggled, but it was easy to tell it was getting tried. It struggled out of his grasp, and, dazed, slammed into Axtar's direction. She jumped from Sparklebolt, and the Windsong flew through the gap. She landed, and smiled. "Ten out of ten!" Jasmine exclaimed, and the Windsong went into the tornado. It slammed into a neon blue dragon, then we saw FreezeFrame spiral out of the tornado. "Thanks! One weak and frozen shadow dragon commin up." Ak whooped, and FreezeFrame shot the Windsong. It froze, and whisked up, and, well, fell down.
"EYOOOOO!" The Windsong thrawed out of it's state, but got hit in the face by several blunt spines. Behind the windsong, Diamond Rider rode, and hit the windsong several times. He then fired a grapple from his sheild, roped the windsong, and the end hit the Windsong. It thrashed, sadly not dazed. Hmm...
"Everyone fly up! We use the tornado against it!" Hearing the order, the Riders flew up. "Diamond?" Both rider and nadder turned their heads. Hoo boy. "No, I mean Diamond Rider." Diamond nodded, and looked away. "Can you get some of Diamond's spines, and use your shield to blunt them? Then when you're done, can you throw them in the tornado?" "On it." Rider nodded, and started to work. "Ak." "Yes Wolf?" "Can you blind it, and can FreezeFrame stun it so it never escapes?" "KK, boss!" Ak flew away towards the tornado, and I turned to Jasmine. "Can you freeze it with your glove to make sure it doesn't go out? Just follow Ak." She flew off, and I turned to Axtar. "Now, thunder girl, you have one of the most risky parts." "I was born for that." "Ok, fine. Can you and Sparklebolt fly down into the eye, and start shooting lightning all over the place? I need the Windsong to get weaker and weaker." "I never tried that before, but yeah, I'll try. I have a plan in mind." "And wait for my signal?" "Yes, ok! Let me do this!" I smile. Let's get going. The lighting duo fly down, and the Riders, knowing whats going to happen, fly up and around to the outside of the tornado. The windsong, thanks to Jasmine and Ak, was getting slower and weaker, after every blast and shock. It looked away, but I clicked my staff twice and shout. "Hey Chirpa! Over here!" The windosng turns toward me, and I shout. "EAT THUNDA!" Axtar shouted, and started spinning like crazy. Thunder shot out of the dagger, and Sparklebolt amplified it by twice the amount. The tornado crackled with lightning, and it glowed bright yellow. The windsong roared, and was spat out, and landed on the ground, all dazed. Yes!
The windsong tried to escape. The key word here is "tried." It flapped it's wings, but Winter sat on it. I knelt down. It was mad and thrashed, but I clicked my staff again. "Hey, focus." It looked at me, and it growled. I clicked it again, and it calmed down. "You lead us to the base ok?" It locked it's eyes on Axtar, and growled. "Axtar, can you put the dagger away?" "Sure" She stuffed it back, and it turned to me. It stared, but didn't give in. It started to get mad again, and I clicked my staff. "Fine, I'll make a deal. Let us see the base, and in return, we'll grant you your freedom. Deal?" It looked at me, tensed, but relaxed. Diamond Rider seemed uncertain though. "Are you sure to trust it? It seems wild and angry. It could turn on us at any minute." I smiled. "My friend, that's why I have this. I stuck out some grass, and Jasmine smiled. "Dragon nip? Since when did you get that?" "Oh, when me and Ak went to get the quail, I found some on the way. I figured it'll help."
Sooner or later, we were flying in the sky, with the windsong ahead. Ak turned toward me. "Chirpa?" I smiled. "Best name I could think of." Ak rolled his eyes. "You should have called him chicken head, or feather face." I chuckled, and I heard Jasmine talking to Axtar. "Sometimes, I think you are too overkill." "Ah, I sometimes think that too." Diamond Rider looked ahead, making sure the windsong was fine and wouldn't betray us at any part of the way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You can go now." The windsong roared a final time. It beat it's majestic wings, and flew away. If only I had one that wasn't a shadow... We followed the windsong, with Wolf in the lead, to the base in the distance we saw now. "So, do we just attack?" Ak halted on FreezeFrame. I looked at Ak. "Attack the base now? Are you insane? We can't just fly there, say: "Hello, we are the Alpha Riders. Can we kill your queen now? We have cookies!"" Ak rolled his eyes. "No, weather girl, not the base, that!" He pointed up in the distance, and I spotted a settlement on a mountain, with shadows flying and running back and forth. "Shadow Village?" Axtar asked. "Nope, it appears to be a settlement." Diamond Rider spoke. "I saw a few when I was coming; I took down several of them. But I never saw a base that large!"
We came closer to the mountain. Yep, a shadow base alright. Actually, more like a hatchery. I saw dragon eggs, placed in the cover of shadow, and some of the eggs almost pure black. I also saw some of the eggs hatching, hatching to the evil and cruel dragons they are now, not as innocent as before. "We need to save the eggs!" I pleaded with Wolf, and he nodded. He then looked at Diamond Rider. "Should we?" Diamond Rider then looked at Wolf. "Hey, I'm not the leader here! You are! It's your call!" Wolf nodded, and we slowly decended for a suprise attack.
Suddenly, I saw a white haired woman probably in her twentys, dressed in a simple peice of war armor, her mouth covered in a veil. She looked up, at our direction, and produced two black daggers for her belt. I then saw a blur race toward her. She readied her jump, jumped, then she was gone. I steadly turned to Wolf. "Uh, Wolf? Maybe we should-" Suddenly, I was struck in the chest, real hard, and me and Elsa slammed into the mountain.
As I was flying toward the mountain, in half a second, shot some vines out to cushion our hit. WHAM! My back hit the mountain, and searing pain filled my body. I groaned in pain, and I realized that my impact made a crater in the mountain. What could do this? Wait...ELSA! I tried to quickly pushed myself out, and I felt the needles of hurt sear through my body. I slowing pushed my self out, and leaned across the wall. My body screamed with pain, and I fell to one leg. I stumbled to the side of the wall, and created a ice bridge to let me cross. I saw a huge hole, and saw Elsa in the middle, but something was terribly wrong.
I ran towards her, trying to ignore the pain. I pushed away the rocks at the side, and saw Elsa's full body. It was frozen, like she was in stone! I pushed her out, and felt her heartbeat. Still alive, that's a good thing. I tried to make her move, but she was almost like she was a statue, or paralyzed... Suddenly, she thrawed out. She made a sad groaning sound, and lay on her side. I fed her some fish, and let her recover, but I then relized something. What about the others?!
Slowly stumbling, I looked out. I saw the blur race through the Alpha Riders, and FreezeFrame froze, and Ak, screaming, fell down to the sea. Few minutes later, Axtar shouted, and fell limp on Sparklebolt. When the bolt raced by again, Sparklebolt generated a sheild, and the bolt staggered for a moment, and for a split second, I saw her.
The woman was sitting a dragon. I then gasped. I reconized this one, but something was different. A speed stinger, yet not quite. I could easy tell it was one, but since when did a speed stinger have 4 tails, and... wings?! And why does it seem so powerful? I hid behind the rock, and watched.
The blur quickly resumed, and ran past the Diamonds. Suddenly, Diamond started shooting at random directions. I couldn't tell what Diamond Rider was telling him, but Diamond seemed really agitated, and never stopped. I then gasped. The blur raced past Winter, and Winter suddenly started flying lopsidedly. He roared, but he was swaying from side to side. The blur raced past one final time, and slammed away all the riders. She then started to fly away... but not on my watch.
"Elsa, can you go cover us? I need to check on the others. Can you block her veiw?" Elsa looked at me, her eyes sparkling with curosity. "I can't go, she'll see me, but you're almost invsible. Can you just try?" Elsa nodded, and took off.
I created an ice bridge over, to check on the riders. A spine wizzed past my head, and I ducked. Diamond started shooting randomly, and Diamond Rider looked at me. "Help?" I jumped, and looked at Diamond. A sting mark was on his stomach. "Sorry, Diamond, but can you just work with me here?" They both turned toward me, and I laughed. "I mean Diamond, not you, Diamond Rider. He smilled, and jumped of Diamond onto the ice bridge. I checked his condition. Halucination. He thinks that the Speed Stinger woman is everywhere. "Diamond Rider, can you cove his eyes? I think he trusts you the most. He nodds, and starts shushing the frightened dragon, and puts a peice of leather on his eyes. I don't know how long it'll last. Sparklebolt then roared, and I turned toward her, Axtar limp on her back. Oh no. I ran over, and looked into Saparklebolt's eyes. She nodded, and I jumped on her back. "Axtar?" I heard a groan, and I sat her up. "What was that?" "Woman on weird Speed Stinger. Can you stand?" She tried, but fell on one knee. "Too...weak..." Come on... wait. "Axtar wait here." "I can do that." I ran to the mountain. What kind of dragon can give halucination, weakness, and paralization? I turned my staff to Spring mode, and started shooting at the ground. I willed a weed to pop out, and I picked it up. I crushed it, and mixed it with water, and some flowers. I ran back, and fed it to Axtar. "Ok?" She blinked twice. "I think it's getting better now. Thanks Jasmine." She saddled up, and we (The duo diamonds, Sparklebolt and Axtar) ran over to Wolf. "Uh, guys?" Winter was flying from left to right, and roared a couple of times. "Wolf, jump!" Diamond shouted, and he did. He landed on Diamond, and Diamond flew Wolf to the ground. We were going to check his condition, but I heard a shout. "Uh, friends? I can't swim, you know that right?" Ak shouted, and I muttered under my breath. If only Hyrith was here. "Hang on!" Axtar jumped off the bridge. We peared down. Bubbles. Just bubbles. Suddenly, Axtar exploded out from the water, riding FreezeFrame, with Ak on FreezeFrame's back. "How? What?" I exclamied, and Axtar explained that she saw FreezeFrame fall, so she knew that he was frozen. He needed something to wake him up, so she shocked the flightmare twice. They both then saved Ak. Good. Now, for the big guy. We all turned, and Winter was desperate. He cawed, and slammed into the bridge, making us jump back. I saw his eyes, and I understood the problem. Nausia. But...how? The dragon. " Wolf, can you cover his eyes, like what Rider did to Diamond?" "I think I can do that." He climbed up Winter's back, whispered into Winter's ears, and took out a strip of cloth and covered his eyes.
Axtar growled. "I wanna shut this lady up once and for all. Who's with me?" We all nodded. She messes with our dragons, she messes with us. We all nod, and 2 seconds later, we charged like a boss.
The Lady was chatting with Darki (since when did he come here), and she then turned her head, hearing us decend form the skies. She similes, and the speed stinger raced toward her. Fat change. Before the blur reached her, I jumped off and slammed her in the chest. We tumbled, and I kicked her at the wall. Suddenly, the speed stinger kickes me, and I tumble off the edge. Thankfully, Elsa catches me. "Elsa, take down Zip Face." She growled, and the stinger and nightufry clashed. I turned, and I quickly raised my dagger, deflecting the blow from the woman. I flipped back, and readied my pose. We both stared at each other, then she struck me.
Her speed wasn't normal. She ran toward me in the blur, and knocked me in the air. She then rose above me, and slammed me to the ground. Dust filled the air, and before she landed the finishing blow, I created a dome of ice and vines, and she bounced back. "Jasmine, duck!" I hit the deck, and Axtar, roaring with rage, fired lightning everywhere. The woman jumped, but Axtar grabbed her my the cuff of her shirt and slammed her down on the ground. She rolled, bracing the impact, and stood there. Axtar ran by my side. "Need a hand?" I smiled, and pulled myself up. We then faced the woman's direction, but she was gone. "Axtar, back to back." We stood, and we saw the blur race by in a circle. Ol' white hair then zipped in front, and punched me in the chest. Oof! I slammed into Axtar's back, and I fel down. Axtar snarled, then charged to intercept the woman. But she was too fast. She ran away, and body slammed Axtar into the foot of the mountain. Axtar then kicked herself back up, and stood. Axtar at her back, and me at her front. We stared at each other, then I screamed. I though summer, and I shot rays of light in a circle, cracking the ground, and setting grass alight. The woman ran, with my beam close behind. She then jumped, and I stepped aside, and she hit the ground.
She jumped up, and Axtar and I intercepted the blow from her daggers. Then she spoke. "You, die." Images flashed infron of my head. Valrora talking to me, she showing me the dagger.. hearing my fate. It then turned to anger. "Lady, I know I'm going to die, but not like this." She smiled. "How about your friend, is she alright?" I turned to Axtar, and I noticed the shock on her face, stunned. "Axtar?" She looked at me, and we locked eyes. We then spoke at the same time. "Dunk slam."
I kicked the woman back, and then curled into a ball. This was a plan we decided to do before, but never got the chance... untill now. "AXTAR, NOW!" Ax ran, and when she jumped on me, I kicked my legs up, and she flew into the air. Roaring a battle cry, my old friend slammed her dagger on the woman's chest. She raised her daggers to block the blow, but it only did a little. One of the daggers broke, and she rolled away. The woman screamed, rolled, then jumped away. She ran, but her speed was weakened. Axtar shot a bolt of lightning, but the Speed Stinger suddenly ran forward, and picked White Hair up into the air.
I turned to Axtar, about to congratulate her, but I only saw her shocked face. "What? Is it- No, it can't be. She-" "Axtar? What's wrong?" She looked at me, shook her head, and smiled. "Nothing Jasmine. Just nothing." Hopefully. I still don't understand why she was so shocked. Oh well.
We turned, and we found Wolf fighting in the sky, and Ak and Diamond torching the place to rubble. "Come on, Axtar. Lets join the fun. She smiled, and we attacked. We rescued the eggs, and we torched the place to ashes. We didn't kill the men though, we just saw them either swim away on boats, or run up to the hills. We took the eggs, and placed them all on a boat. I tied a rope to Elsa, and asked her to tow the boat to a nearby island, and place them down.
After she left, we just stood there. "Tough day, huh?" Wolf spoke as he ate some fish and removed the eye mask. Diamond (Yes, both of them) looked into the distance. "Tough, (Rider) I can say that, but we still got a long way ahead." Ak then turned to us. "So, girls, how was the cat-fight?" I just sat down. "Meh, the usual, with us winning again. Axtar faced the fortress, not speaking. Diamond Rider whispered into my ear. "What's wrong with her?" I whispered back. "I don't know. I just don't." Diamond Rider shrugged, and Wolf crossed his arms. "Pals, what was that Speed Stinger anyway? It seemed like a shadow dragon, but yet, it wasn't!" I pondered this. "Well, that was definitly a shadow dragon. Yet, since when was there a speed stinger with 4 tails, and when could it fly? I only heard of this when-" I stopped. Chill froze my spine. Hopefully I was wrong. Ak looked at me, and he gasped. "Alpha Speed Stingers."
"But how?!" Diamond Rider exclaimed. "You can't turn a dragon into shadow, more or less an Alpha!" Axtar then spoke up. "Unless it was born an Alpha. An Alpha egg appears once every 100 years. It's possible that the woman, whoever she was, found an Alpha Speed Stinger agg, and somehow knew it was an Alpha, so she turned it evil." Wolf considered this, then spoke, with a scared tone. "We always depended on our skill, but mostly our friendship with our dragons. But now that we saw an Alpha Shadow... is it possible that there are more Alpha Shadows out there?" Elsa flew towards me, and tucked her head under my arm. I scratched her chin, and Elsa rolled around. I then looked up. "Whatever happens, we need to stay as a team. We can't back away now. It doesn't matter of they have Alpha Shadows. We have friendship, and that cannot be broken." Axtar leaned on her sword. "Well said, brethren. We can't lose this fight. We fight, till the end. Agreed?" We all shouted, at once. "Agreed!"
