Page 2 of 29 Only two? What if you need help?"
"If we get cornered or realize we are in need of more allies, we will call
in with my mind."
Lock seemed sure of victory ever since the battle of Bosh that we won.
I had to speak up now, me being the leader. "Lock is right. The team that
just lost to their armies were the best of the best. They killed dragons with
one warrior. I think Lock and Xavon could ---handle this." "If you say so,"
replied Commander Johnson. "I can't wait," started Xavon, "to get my sword into
that dragon! Come on Lock,
let's go get our supplies ready." Lock and Xavon started towards the tent
that housed us and I could hear them packing their bags. "Wait a minute." said
Fradox, "Just how far into the Serta Forest is this dragon?" "Well... It is
about a days journey." A small man came up to the Commander. "Sir. We have a
small group of Gonz's men here. They appear to have no weapons and are
threatening about a dragon of some sort." A loud roar was heard in the back of
the fort. It sounded like a dragon, only evil was enwrapped inside of the
horrible voice. "A dragon!" said The Commander, "There is no telling how many
dragons they may have now." Screams of pain and death could be heard all around
us. Suddenly the ground began to shake and The--- Commander fell down hard on
his back. "Commander!" I shouted. We all ran over to him. "Are you all right
Commander?'
"I don't know. I can't stand up." My mind began to race. "Come on Commander
we will carry you to safety." "No!" shouted back the Commander, "You must go
and defeat all of their dragons they might have. With you, I know you can stop
their assault before it worsens. Leave me here. I can't stand this war anymore.
My body aches and pains at the slightest thought of this never-ending war. But
you. You six are different. I've seen this ever since I first saw you in
combat. Now, protect our land. Our spirits. And our....future..." I couldn't
believe that the Commander had gone. Now the small squad of Quadsmans were the
leaders of a mission to ultimately lead our homeland to victory.
I was the first to take charge. "Ok guys. Lets do it. First we gotta stop
this dragon from--- destroying our entire fort." We all got up and drew our
swords. We rushed to the fort entrance. When we got to the front gate we could
hear the dragon annihilation our front line soldiers. It was only a matter of
time before the dragon would break through the gate and destroy everyone
"Steady fellas. He’s comin through." In that moment the gate burst forth and
landed right on Fradox. "No!" cried Derek "He can't die.." "Don’t worry Derek."
I said. "He will live." No one saw as, miraculously, the gate rose high into
the air and shot straight at the dragon, threatening to get in the fort. The
gate hit him hard and he fell back. "Now!" I screamed. All 4 of us Tank,
Fradox, Derek, and me rushed at the dragon, sword ready to strike. We
approached it and began the melee which was the fight. I swung--- my sword at
the hard skin and left nothing but a mere cut. Derek fired arrow after arrow at
the dragon although everyone was reflected by his super strong hide. Even Tank
could not pierce the dragon's skin. It was as if he was immortal. "We need
Xavon and Lock!" cried Fradox. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Josh Pereira, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
