Desert Dragon

by Michael Rogers

  Blake: *He stood in the middle of the guild and smirked, watching a purple pearl-like orb materialise in his palm.* "Fufufu-"

  Tara: "What are you doing, Blake?! With that summon, you'll damage the whole cliff!"

  Blake: "Shut that filthy mouth of yours! I'm the leader, so like, wateva!"

  Rachael: *She looked over her shoulder, noticing Tara's seriousness.* (If that summon has the power to take us all out!-)

  Karol: (Waichael.. I'll halp!) *He ignored the pain and started to dance, causing a sigil-like glyph to appear under him.* "Sacred dance, Power Up."

  Rachael: *She watched the sigil-like glyph appear underneath her, filling her with sudden strength.* "Okay, now, Trev!"

  Trevour: "Right!" *He bent his knees and held the sand-hammer with both hands, causing his armour to rattle.*

  Rachael: *Her body glowed a shade of blue.* "Rock Pillar."

  Lezard: (Razzypoo's Neurons just increased!-)

  Rachael: "Haarh!" *She punched towards Blake with both hands, causing a massive sheet of solid rock to erupt underneath Trevour.*

  Lezard: (Underneath Trevmeister? Why him-?)

  Trevour: "I trust you, boss!" *He spoke under his breath and the sheet of rock suddenly flipped over, flinging him across the ground.*

  Blake: "Aye?" *He spun around, staring at Trevour with widening eyes.* "Bitch, you can fly-!?"

  Trevour: "Feel the sturdy power of our guild!" *He leant forward and tapped the ground with one foot, violently swinging the sand-hammer directly in Blake's face.*

  Blake: "Furh!-" *He watched the sand explode in his face, as it blasted him across the ground into a violent tumble.*

  Rachael: "Hehe."

  Tara: (I don't.. She used the kid's dance to power her Azure Burst up, then used it to fling the warrior across at heightened speeds, allowing him to slam his weapon into Blake's face-) *She paused in thought, as if she couldn't believe it.*

  Karol: "I kan do this!" *He shouted and started to dance at an expert level, causing a grey sigil-like glyph to appear under Lezard.* "Wezard, now you kan heal faster!"

  Lezard: *He swayed his hands with heightened speed.* "Thankies! Quick healing shot, HEALING IMPLOSION! Quick internal light, INVOKING AURA"

  Blake: *He rolled across the ground, ignoring his visibly ripped clothing.* "You-..."

  *Blake stopped sliding and slowly stood up inside of a growing dirt cloud.*

  Blake: *He coughed out blood and placed his hand on his bleeding nose in a girl-like manner.* "You bitches hurt my face!"

  Trevour: "Heh heh, so we did."

  Blake: "How dare a common warrior like you-, fink you can." *He formed a fist and threw another yellow orb into the air, causing more husky-like Scoldrants to pounce out of a swirling yellow glyph.*

  Nathan: *He ripped his sword out of the previous husky.* "There's more-"

  Luna: "No shit."

  Nathan: "So now you're talking to me?"

  Blake: "You two must have confidence if yas got enough time for a luvers quarrel-"

  Luna and Nathan: "It's not a lover's quarrel!"

  Destiny: "Yeup!"

  Lezard: (Despite a momentary pause in the fight, it's still too hard to heal everyone at this rate-) *He touched his throat and appeared ill.* "Quick internal light, INVOKING AURA"

  Trevour: *He faced off the Scoldrants which formed a line in front of Blake.* "No matter what you throw at us, we will stand by each other!"

  Blake: "Stand by each other? Like, oh em gee? A true fighter sticks by themselves! You are only good in numbers-"

  Rachael: "What the hell is wrong with you?!" *She shouted and stood by Trevour's side, holding dagger-shaped rocks in each hand.* "Working as a team.. Friends, family, it's the little things that bonds people together-"

  Blake: "When you get as strong as us, you'll understand me when I like say, people just get in your way." *He nudged his head, causing the line of Scoldrants to charge towards the guild.*

  Rachael: "Dammit-"

  Trevour: "By your side, boss!" *He started to run forward, ignoring a brown glyph which zigzagged underneath him.* "Taste the power of crushing currents, devour the sacred sands, DIRTCLOUD TALONS"

  *Trevour tucked his hands and suddenly spread them, causing streams of sand to spiral out of his fingertips, exploding two huskies in half.*

  Luna: "Holy shit-" *She watched the bodies burst into tiny white orbs before hitting the ground.*

  Rachael: *She smirked at Trevour and suddenly kicked a Scoldrant to the side, watching it blast in the line of her kick.* "My strength? It's still strengthened?"

  Karol: *He continued to dance without a moment's stop, focusing on Rachael and Lezard.* (I-I kan do this!)

  Trevour: (Little meister is performing dances on both Rachael and Lezard, or is the heat of the battle getting me a little disorientated?)

  Rachael: (He's learnt how to do two dances simultaneously?) *She quickly ducked under a pouncing Scoldrant and slashed it across the stomach, causing it to burst away into tiny white orbs.*

  Blake: (These bitches are taking out my sexy beasts like they're nuffin'.) *He hissed in thought and watched a purple orb re-materialise in his palm.*

  Luna: "Dickhead, spark me!" *She grunted at Nathan.*

  Nathan: "Double Slash." *He slashed the ground twice, causing a spark to flash off a small stone.*

  Luna: *She swayed her arm, causing the spark to grow and string into lightning.* "Yea, boi!" *She pulled her arm forward, causing streams of lightning to flash towards her hand.*

  *Luna pulled the string back and watched the lightning swirl into the shape of an arrow, causing her to smirk with confidence.*

  Destiny: "Yeup!"

  Luna: "Seraphic Volt." *She released the string and shot an arrow of lightning towards Blake.*

  Blake: "Aye?" *He looked surprised and flicked his wrist, causing the Scoldrants to involuntary jump in front of him.*

  Luna: *She watched the arrow shoot through two huskies before fading away with strings of lightning.* "Low.."

  Nathan: "Using Scoldrants as pawns!" *He shouted in rage and sprinted towards Blake.*

  Karol: "Sacred dance, Speed Up."

  Nathan: *He suddenly ran three times the speed, allowing him to avoid the Scoldrants with ease.* "Raining Fury."

  *Nathan stepped into striking distance and raised the sword against his cheek, jabbing the sword like a missile at Blake's face.*

  Blake: "Amanda! Sick these bitches!" *He hissed, as cuts appeared across his cheeks.*

  Nathan: "Scoldrants are living things! Not pets or tools for you to use!-"

  *A large whale-like Scoldrant suddenly materialised behind Blake, causing Nathan to slow down in shock.*

  Luna: "Who the fuck's Amanda?!"

  Blake: "Fufufu, there she is." *He glanced at the whale behind him.*

  Nathan: "What is-?"

  Amanda: "HYDRO CANNON" *A stream of high pressured water pushed Nathan back.*

  Nathan: "Seventeen, Great Divide." *He sliced downwards, causing the entire stream to wave apart.*

  Rachael: *She spun around, jabbing two huskies at the same time with her daggers, causing them to burst into white orbs.* "That's the last ones."

  Blake: *He squinted his eyes in frustration and placed a hand on his waist.* "How unsexy do I look?"

  *Blake grabbed the whip and readied to flick it at Nathan.*

  Amanda: *She flailed on the ground and a blue glyph swirled underneath her.* "AQUATIC DIVIDER"

  *Two large waves suddenly erupted on either side of the guild, causing Blake and Tara to chuckle.*

  Tara: *She flicked her whip into the air and pulled herself up.* "It's over now-"

  Blake: *He watched Amanda flail and suddenly burst into tiny white orbs.* (I can't sustain her summon?)

  Tara: (His summon ran out of Neurons?) *She focused on the waves of water, retaining her evil-like smirk.* (At least the Remenistal is still active-)

  *Blake watched the waves grow in power before suddenly crashing t
owards each other for a collision.*

  Blake: "Binding Vines." *He reached up and vines suddenly shot out of a Spacial Funnel in the air and pulled him up to safety.*

  Tara: (Fufufu, the dirty lamp managed to catch them all in the Remenistal-)

  Lezard: *He felt the vibrations along the ground.* "No, these waves will!-"

  *The waves collided into each other and violently exploded with the guild in between them.*

  Blake: *He fell to the ground, as the vines disappeared.* "I sure one of you bitches survived-"

  *Blake stepped forward in a growing puddle as it heavily rained on the entire guild.*

  Rachael: *She hid herself in a small coffin of rock pillars.* (The power of those waves-)

  *Rachael lowered her arms and watched the pillars crumble away, allowing her to notice the guild, all lying on their backs.*

  Blake: "Sexy.." *He smirked at Rachael and strutted towards her.* "You will be sent back to Sorrowprax. Tara, kill the leftovers."

  Tara: "..." *She hung off her whip in the air.*

  Blake: *He chuckled and stopped, placing one hand on his waist.* "This is punishment for hurting my guild members."

  Trevour: "What you're doing is wrong!"

  Blake: "Wrong? Don't talk like you're better than me, aye. We are following the higher ups, nuffin' more, nuffin' less."

  Nathan: "Those summons.. You're a Scoldrant User, aren't you?" *He looked up to Blake and struggled to move, lying on his stomach.*

  Blake: "Pssh, as if." *He waved his hand in front of his face like a fan.* "Why would I wanna be a stinky smelly animal?"

  Nathan: "It's rare for people to be able to use Summonce Scarbras without the bloodline."

  Blake: "Big whoop." *He rolled his eyes.*

  Destiny: "Yeup.." *Water dripped off her fur, as she struggled to move.*

  Blake: "There's like, a disgusting Scoldrant User, aye." *He glared at Luna and Destiny and slowly strutted towards them.*

  Nathan: "Where's your Scoldrant?"

  Blake: "..." *He stopped and glared at Nathan with an emotionless face.*

  Nathan: "Your partner?"

  Blake: "Shut up!"

  Nathan: "Huh?"

  Blake: "I don't need you lot to preach your petty unsexy things to me! Teamwork, telling me what I do is wrong, interrogating my life choices."

  Nathan: "Life choices?"

  Blake: "If I like, don't wanna be a Scoldrant User, then I don't have to! Besides, look at you all.. All on the ground, like the pathetic leeches you are."

  Trevour: "Don't make light of The Rostical Guild!" *He shouted with emotion causing his armour to rattle.*

  Luna: "We're gonna crush you, aye!"

  Karol: (E-Everywon..)

  Rachael: "Yeah! This guild is my family now! No person will mess with my siblings and get away with it."

  Lezard: "Ooo, my heart throbs with power!" *He wiggled his bottom to each side, scraping it along the ground he rested on.*

  Nathan: "Hmph." *He smirked in agreement.* "This guild taught me, I don't have to only rely on my own strength-"

  Blake: "Perhaps you don't know what position you're in?" *He flashstepped next to Destiny and gently placed his hand on her side.*

  Destiny: "Yeup?"

  Blake: "You don't know anyfing, aye." *He pressed on Destiny slightly harder, causing tribal-like markings to burn onto her skin.*

  Destiny: "Yeup!" *She hissed in pain, causing Luna to shout in agony.*

  Luna: "Wat?!"

  Blake: "Fufufu..." *He stood up straight and elegantly spun around, strutting towards Tara.*

  Destiny: *She started to hop after Blake, causing the guild to gasp.* "Yeup.."

  Luna: *She stared at Blake's back from Destiny's perspective, as everything slowly turned into darkness.* "I.. Can't see, aye?"

  Trevour: "What have you done, you fiend?!"

  Blake: "Teamwork is overrated, like seriously. Your little speech, shut up."

  Luna: "Destiny! Destiny?!"

  Blake: "Your little scout Scoldrant will no longer listen to your orders, it's under my control."

  Nathan: "How is this possible?"

  Blake: "Bitch, everyone has a special ability.. Controlling the living tools is mine, fufufu."

  Nathan: "They aren't tools!"

  Blake: "'Kay." *He spoke as if he didn't care.*

  Lezard: *He looked up with double vision, as water drizzled off his body.* (Little monsters.. I'll try and heal-) *He suddenly coughed and wheezed, recalling the violent explosion of water around him.*

  Rachael: (I can't move my body..)

  Blake: "Don't try, the Rasticsplash won't do you justice-"

  ?????: "Oh my? Grand Rostical! DIVINE TORNADO" *A woman with an echoing high pitched voice caught Tara and Blake's attention.*

  Blake: "Like, who is it now-?" *He watched the area turn into complete darkness and a massive howling tornado blew past the guild and collected him inside of it.*

  Lezard: *He looked up, staring at the wind in shock.* (The wind isn't affecting us at all..)

  Blake: *He spun in the visible tornado, kicking his legs.* "Get-, me-, down!-"

  Tara: "Fufufu-" *She chuckled at Blake and suddenly squirmed, as the tornado suctioned her towards it.* "No!"

  Rachael: "Why is she smiling that her guild member is trapped inside the tornado?"

  Trevour: "I don't know, boss. I don't think we could ever understand their thought process, they are a dark guild after all."

  Tara: *She held onto the whip with both hands, as the tornado continued to suction her towards it.* (The wind... It's growing in Neurons!-)

  ?????: *She watched Tara barely hold on to the whip.* "Oh my-" *She twisted her wrist, causing the tornado to grow in strength.*

  Tara: "No!-" *Her hands slid off the whip's handle, flicking her into the tornado's violent tumble.*

  Blake: "Like, can't you absorb the Neurons in the wind?!" *He shouted with squinted eyes, watching Tara spiral above him.*

  Tara: *She helplessly kicked her legs in the air, watching her whip spiral with the wind.* "I can't without my whip-"

  Blake: "Bitch-"

  ?????: *She pushed forward and threw the tornado with Blake and Tara still inside it over the ledge of the cliff, causing the area to revert back to normal.* "Oh my, she's a persistent one, isn't she?"

  *Tara and Blake watched the wind die down and looked down, noticing they fell towards the ocean.*

  Luna: "Team Brigade is blastin' off-.." *She spoke to herself and listened to Blake and Tara's fading screams before they hit the water below.*

  Trevour: "Champion? Madam." *He smiled to himself, notifying the guild she was an ally.*

  Champion: "Hello again, everyone." *She smiled with her eyes closed, ignoring the fact the guild was lying wet in exhaustion.*

  Nathan: *He looked at the champion, hiding his gratitude.* (The Rostical User.)

  Destiny: *The tribal-like markings suddenly faded off her skin, filling Luna with vision.* "Yeup?" *She meowed in confusion and started to hop towards Luna.*

  Luna: "D-Destiny..." *She discreetly wiped her eyes with her arms, smiling in happiness.*

  Champion: "It's been a long time, everyone." *She spoke with a growing smile.*

  Rachael: *She slowly stood up and noticed mud under her arms and one side of her legs.* "Yes, it has, champion."

  Champion: "Oh my, you remember me?"

  Nathan: *He looked up, staring at Rachael in confusion.* (How can she stand?)

  Lezard: (Everyone's morale is horrid-, ooo!) *He mumbled in realisation and reached into his robes, pulling out a small hand-sized book.*

  Trevour: "What have you got there, sir? A book of incantations?"

  Lezard: "No, even better."

  Trevour: "Better than a book full of incantations?!"

  Lezard: "Ahem." *He opened the book and started to read out loud.* "How many silly sausages, does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"

  Luna: "Silly sausages?"

  Trevour: "How many
, sir?"

  Lezard: "Three. One to hold the bulb, and two to turn the ladder. Bwarharharh."

  Rachael: (A joke book?)

  Luna: "That was the lamest shit ever! I thought you were gonna teleport us out of here or somethin', aye."

  Lezard: "Naww, now Lezard is sad-"

  Karol: *He listened to the waves crash below, causing him to look towards the ledge.* "W-What happened to the badies?"

  Lezard: *He lowered the book and straightened his arm towards Karol, causing a very faint white light to slowly heal his wounds.* "Those horrid villains, hurting our guild leader like that."

  Karol: "Nee hee.." *He placed his hand on his cheek and whined in pain.*

  Champion: "Oh my? A guild? You are in a guild now?"

  Rachael: "Sure am." *She smirked and formed a fist, causing the mud to instantly dry and pulse off her body.* "We're-"

  Lezard: "The Flavoursome Heroes!"

  Trevour and Rachael: "The Rostical Guild!-"

  Luna: "The Guild of Fully Sick People-"

  Nathan: "The Rostical Guild."

  Karol: "The Wostical Guild."

  Lezard: "We're getting better, bwarharh."

  Rachael: "Hehe, let's head back to the city."

  Champion: *She thought to herself with a smile.* (Even after facing possible death, these people still find time to smile.. These are prime examples of people I want to show them to.)

  Nathan: "I'm hungry." *He struggled and slowly leant up, placing his hands on his lap.*

  Luna: "You're always hungry."

  Nathan: "Cool-"

  Luna: "Oh.." *She suddenly realised something and looked away, causing Nathan to look sad.*

  Karol: *He stood up.* "Fank you, Wezard."

  Lezard: "It's all good, our little hero."

  Rachael: "What have you been up to, champion? And what brings you to Silver Wind Island?"

  Champion: "I haven't been up to much, and I'm here to teleport to Surpreon."

  Rachael: "Teleport?"

  Champion: "Why, yes. To Battling Oxident."

  Karol: "Why do yooh need to teweport there?"

  Champion: "Oh my, it's on the other continent."

  Nathan: "Hmph-" *He grabbed his sword and pointed it at the champion while he sat on the ground.* "I figured you'd be there again! This time, I will defeat you and your Rostical."
