Flying above were five dragons. People ran into their homes as they the dragons looming above. Their approach quieted any city. Nobody wanted to draw any attention. Dragons are capable of destroying cities alone and it takes coordination to take out. Dragons were hunted for as long as humans knew about them. This was the first time some people even saw dragons. Ryuu was flying his small team through heavily populated areas of regular man. Some people were in awe horror as their scales reflected vibrant lights of blue, red, and green of each dragon respectively.
"These people are absolutely terrified of us. Hahahaha! It's like they never seen a dragon before." Crimson said to Ryuu as he observed the people below. "The children flee to their parents who look like their going to crap their pants any moment."
"These lands are very remote. You can assume these are country people. They exist under nearby kingdoms rule. They farm the food and clothing. There could be a knight or two among them, but nobody would even dream of opposing us." Ryuu said.
"How do you know all of this?" Grass, a dragon from the Emerald line asked.
"He does his research. He's a huge nerd. Weird dragon honestly." Rae mockingly said.
"We've been flying for two days. I'm ready to fight." Black, a dragon from the Onyx line.
"Their hiding their location very well. I was able to detect them in this direction but where they could be exactly is unknown. They could even be hiding in a pocket dimension as well. When I do find them, i am ending their entire bloodline. No exceptions." Ryuu said.
"It's been ages since I've seen you this angry. I want to see first hand the massacre you'll unleash. I was getting worried these humans were tainting you." Crimson said.
"I've never forgotten what I was or what our history was. I chose to end the destruction by separating us, but it seems someone is against that and wants us to show our faces. So, we'll come to their front door and destroy it all." Ryuu with a rumble. You could feel his anger. He was ready to explode any moment on anything.
"We have been flying for 2 days straight. Do you need to rest? You usually don't use your dragon form for so long Ryuu." Rae said in concern.
"I can go 5 days if need be." Ryuu replied back. "I need to get Lea back before I can rest. She isn't going to be able to rest.
"Right." Rae softly said.
They continued to fly through the sky. They flew over rivers, buildings, castles, and cities. None contained any hint of Lea. However, the fear among the people were spreading. Behind the dragons trail, there were people gathering up in pursuit. Knights, warriors, spellcasters, healers and all to handle the huge threat.
As the sun was setting, Rae was looking around for a secluded place to land. Away from people so they could have peace. "I want to land for awhile. I want to grab something to munch on while we fly cause this is getting really boring." The others besides all agree.
"Fine, we can land. Let's not attract too much attention. We can transform and blend in if need be." Ryuu said looking down.
WHOOSH!
A fireball whiffed passed the dragons. The trees they were flying over disappeared and revealed an army that was cloaked. Harpoons with nets attached were preloaded. The people were on the attack.
"SOME ACTION!" Black descended straight towards the harpoons aimed at them. Not the least worried about the assault. The other dragons decided to circle the air and watch from above.
As Black descended, anti magic nets were thrown at him. However, he transformed into a humanoid form and landed on the ground dodging the nets. All the soldier were shocked as they never seen a dragon transform before. The stories that were told only spoke about their larger form that could fly. They were unprepared for this level of assault.
Black however, was surrounded. As he looked around, the crowd of men of various height, weight, and color had the same shocked expression. One brave man ran first and charged at Black. He ran in typical armor that would be expected to fight a dragon in and was impaled by the ground beneath him. All the men looked in fear as they watched a death in a blink of an eye.
"More!" Black shouted. The men all ran away, realizing immediately they were not strong enough to challenge. Black look disappointed as everyone ran away. Then as the crowd starting to shrink, he noticed three people still remaining. A familiar knight with red armor and red eyes stood in the middle. A young woman with white hair and green eyes wearing a priestess robe and a large knight with his shield and sword standing in front of him.
"Sir Raphael, are you positive you can take him by yourself?" The woman asked.
"Yes, he won't be much of an issue. The real threat is flying in the sky. The sapphire one is a walking disaster. This one must be his underling to scare off the weaker enemies. I need you, Leon, to make sure the others don't interfere. They likely won't but you never know what THEY will pull."
Leon nods.
Raphael approaches Black. Raphael is wielding twin blades, his pace is steady. Eyes locked onto Black. Black tries the same trick but in a flash, Raphael dodged it and kept the same pace. Black surprised by the dodge tries it again. He makes subtle movement with his feet, which Raphael picked up on. He's using magic with his feet instead on his hands. As he prepares for his next attack, Raphael then rushes in and goes for the kill. Black stumbles as his attack went behind Raphael and caught him guard. With quick reflexes though, he dodges the piercing blow aimed at his neck and spins around and smashes Raphael with his tail.
"You have some fight in you, knight. Nice." Black said as went to shake up the ground. However, nothing happened.
"You beast are slow. Obviously I'm inhibiting your magic. A talisman I picked up that's built just for dragons. Now be a good boy and make this easy for yourself and die." Raphael said with arrogance.
Black unable to use his magic, transformed back to a large dragon size to defend himself. However, that was to his demise. Raphael was simply too fast and blitz around Black cutting at his arms and legs repeatedly whenever Raphael dodged an attack. Rae realizing this will end with Black being killed, decided to fly towards him to save him.
"Second dragon incoming!" Leon shouted as he picked his sword and shield combination and ran towards the fighting.
"She's a support, distract her so she can't rescue this one." Raphael commanded. Leon let out a powerful shout towards Rae who's instincts kicked in and pulled her attention away from the others. She had an uncontrollable rage to attack Leon. She started hurling massive fire balls towards Leon. He deflected every blast with his shield without a single piece of him being touched. She continued to attack from the sky raining fire onto Leon. The young woman next had begun chanting a spell as Rae descended and it was finally ready. The spell increased the gravity beneath Rae forcing her to crash to the ground. Leon started to run towards Rae when clouds appeared in the sky.
"I don't have time for these games. We're going." Ryuu summoned massive water and winds forcing the Knights to use all their energy to simply stand up. Black picked up the man he stabbed earlier and went up into the sky along with Rae as the group then set off. Ryuu shouted back, "Bother me again and I'll end your entire bloodline!"
The storm vanished as quickly as it came. The three were completely drenched with water. "That's what we're up against. That dragon is on a whole other level. I will slay him. We have to keep our lands safe from these beasts." Raphael said to his teammates.
"Sir Raphael, are you sure he's even capable of being killed? It didn't look like he struggled to make that storm at all. We're standing with our ankles deep in water and it wasn't even 2 minutes of a storm." Leon stated.
"He can be killed. He thinks he's a person and that's where we'll have to get him. We'll continue to get information on where he's headed. I don't know why he's here, but he's not leaving alive. I put my life on it." Raphael said.
